That Guy (a short story)

THAT GUY on my Dream

Katniss POV

My life is useless. Do you know that feeling like, you are just doing the same thing over and over again. EVERY.SINGLE.DAY.

        Wake up, eat my breakfast, take a bath, get dressed, go to school, wait the vacant class. It's like my entire life routine. To be exact, my life is not a book of excitement.

"Hey!, Are you alright?" My best friend, Daphny, asked me. We were lounging at my bedroom."Yeah. I'm just thinking." i answered.

"Thinking about what?" - daphny

"Thinking about my life. Thinking about how boring it is."

She faced me. "Katniss!, you know what? You don't need to stress yourself. You're just 16. Try to have fun!"

How can I? If I'll not study hard, I'll die. That's what I know.

I shrugged and stared at the ceiling as I am lying on my bed. Then the next thing I know, everything went black...

**

I don't know how, but all of a  sudden, I found myself lying on a seashore. The sun is high and the sea is calm. I didn't get up because I stared at the beautiful sky. I'm not familiar with this place so where really am I? I faced my right and got surprised because someone's beside me, sleeping.

He has a white complexion, long eyelashes, pointed nose, and messy dark brown hair. Then he suddenly open his eyes. I quickly stand and took few steps away.

"Oh, you are awake now?" He said while standing and rubbing his eyes.

"Yes, as you can see. How long I've been sleeping? And where am I?" I asked him taking a few steps closer to this guy.

"Hmm...I don't know. I just found you here lying on the seaside and I guarded you. Don't worry, I didn't do anything." He answered with the most genuine smile I've ever seen.

"Come with me!." He grabbed my hand and we started running.

We just keep on running, running like there's no way to stop.

He turned his head to me and say "Hey! try to loosen up!" I tried what he said. I look up on the sun, on the sky, on the sea, on the birds flying high. I closed my eyes and soulfully listen to the waves.

This is the life I want. I feel myself smiling.

We fell to the sand while catching our breathes.

He looked at me " That's better! you look prettier when you smile." He said. I suddenly feel my face heating up. I think my face is red now! I covered my face with my hands.

"By the way." He speak again "What's your name? And why are you covering your face?"

I separate my fingers so that my eyes could see him. I slowly remove my hands from my face.

"I'm Katniss. And you are?"

"I'm Luke." he answered with a smile.

My heart beat faster than ever. That moment he said his name with smile, I had this weird feeling. It is unexplainable.

"Let's go to the yacht! We have something nice to do. Quick! Before the sun goes down!"

Luke is nice. He's a gentleman and his attractive. He often smile and you can see that his life is full of fun, full of adventures. Not like mine, boring.

While we were riding on his yacht we are about things.

"I'm just living my life in this island. It's my island actually. My parents gave it to me as a birthday gift so I live in here." He said "What do you do in your life, Katniss?"

"Me? I study and work for myself so that I will not starve or get kicked out from my apartment. I work all my life to support myself." I said frankly.

"Really? That's so.......boring. Don't worry, I'll teach you to have fun!" He said while smiling.

We suddenly found ourselves in the middle of the ocean while riding his yacht. I don't know how but I got a snorkeling outfit. I can't remember that I wear these a while ago.

"When I count to three, we will snorkel down the sea. There are plenty of corals and marine animals there. You'll love it!" He said with determined voice.

I took a moment to see the water and imagining the thought that I might get downed made me scared.

"Don't worry. Hold my hand. We'll never drown. Take a deep breath. Everything will be fine." Is he a psychic or what?

I took a deep breath. And close my eyes....

"1...... 2......"

"3!"

I feel his hands holding mine and the water around me. I tried to dive but a voice from my head suddenly popped.

"Katniss! wake up!" Then, I opened my eyes and saw Daphny's worried face. I'm in my room.

Okay. Everything's just a dream. Is it really just a dream?

But why is it clear to me?

I frowned a bit because to be honest, I like what happened on that dream of mine, with Luke.

"What happened?" I asked as I sit on my bed.

"I thought you're having a nightmare because you keep on panting while sleeping. And at some point, you are smiling. Who are you dreaming about?" She gave me a grin.

"The guy on my dream."
