Dream

Chapter Five

I surprisingly made two friends in one day before dinner.

Sarah and I were walking to the parking lot to go to a fast food restaurant for dinner (She and I I are not good cooks, and we're pretty tired of eating canned food). Sarah swore she would stop hanging with her group of friends and stop drinking-she didn't like alcohol anway-, and she said she would hang out with me more.

"Why?" I questioned.

"Why not?" She countered. "Lilian, you're an amazing person. A lot of people don't see it, but that doesn't mean you aren't. Like the sun. At night, you don't see it. But you know its there."

"That's..." I began.

"Wise, yeah I know. That's what I was before I made the wrong decision."

She fumbled for her car keys as we approached a red Mustang GT."

Nice car," I said as she unlocked it and climbed inside."

Thanks. Got it after graduation." I climbed into the passenger seat and shut the car door, as the engine roared to life. Sarah swiftly began to drive out of the parking lot.

As she drove, she reached out to turn on the radio, and paused. "Hey, what music do you listen to? I have SAT radio."

"Alternative or rock."

She smirked. "Not bad," she complimented as she switched the station to Alt Nation.

"You like alternative and rock too?" I asked. She nodded. "Thirty Seconds to Mars, Nirvana, Sleeping with Sirens, Fall Out Boy," she listed bands that I absolutely adore. I smiled. "Good taste." I complimented.

"Why, thank you."

She parked right in front of the McDonalds, and we climb out of the car. Locking the car, Sarah and I walk inside together and stand in line.

I began to laugh a bit.

"What?" Sarah questioned.

"Nothing, I'm just surprised I have a friend."

She gave me a small smile. "I viewed you as me before I... Changed. At first I didn't mind what people thought, but then I was bullied. Then I became one... I-I'm sorry."

"Hey, it's alright, Sarah." I said, try to comfort her.

"Can I take your order?" The waiter asked. "Angus burger with fries and a coke," I said. "Regular burger and a large mocha frappé." Sarah said after. I payed.

We sat down at a table, facing each other, as we ate our food. "What did the counselor say?" She asked.

"Find friends."

"Now you have one," she said proudly raising her hand. "Did you make any other friends?"

"Oh, just one."

She asked who. "Noah Knight. He's studying photography."

"Oh yeah, he's dating that Alexia girl."

I sipped my drink. "Knew it. How'd you know Alexia?" She ate her food and swallowed. "She's a snobby girl. Don't get why such a nice boy like him could possibly be dating her."

I smirked. "What if she's a witch and she casted a spell on her?" Sarah laughed. "I wonder what kind of spell could possibly get Knight to date her. Must've been a pretty strong spell." We laughed together.

 ✪✪✪

We drove back to campus after having the meal.

"I'm going to take a short walk around the campus. I'll see you later, possibly about thirty minutes." I tell Sarah, she nods and walks toward the dormitories.

I walk slowly around the campus, admiring the sky. How amazing would it be if the sky wasn't polluted at all? You would see everything-- Not just stars. The sky wouldn't just be one color, a navy blue or black. It would be bright, purple and pink, and the stars would burn brightly.

I stumble as I bump into someone, knocking them over. "Hey! Watch it, Freshman!" I heard a girl's voice say. I look down, seeing Alexia and Noah on the cement. They must have been making out or something, because there are smears of lipstick on Noah's lips, the color of Alexia's lips. I help them up. "Sorry guys. I was taking a walk. I glanced up at the sky. "It's a shame that pollution destroyed the beautiful sight of the night sky, you know?" Noah nodded. "I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks about that. I mean, if there was no air pollution at all, the sky would be brilliantly clear, and t--"

"Alright, hurry along Freshman. Noah and I were just in the middle of something." She said with a smirk as she pulled Noah closer to her by the collar. I gag and keep walking.

That was disturbing.

✪✪✪

I finally head back to my room, and lay in bed. "Saw something gross during my walk." I say to Sarah. "Like Nalexia making out?" I nodded. "How'd you know?"

"I can see it from the window," She glanced at the window. "They're still there, making out." She suddenly had an insane grin on her face. "What? What are you planning?"

"Oh, you'll know."

The next thing I know, Sarah and I are at the window with a few egg cartons and a timer. "You know that science chart we have to do?" She asked me. I nodded. "Well, lets call the graph Egging Alexia Jenkins. The independent variable can be the amount of eggs that hit her and the dependent variable will be the time." I grinned. I already knew that Alexia didn't like me; she did ram into me with her shoulder when leaving the meeting. And if I'm going to have friends, I have to have enemies.

"Ready?" Sarah whispered, opening the window. "Go." She set the timer and we began throwing eggs at Alexia's back. By the time we both reached about ten eggs, she spotted us. "WHAT THE HECK!" Alexia screamed, stiffly standing there with yolk all over her clothes. Noah tried to comfort her, and calm her down. Sarah and I were cracking up as we closed the window.

We rolled around on the floor, laughing.

That's when one of the staff members knocked on our door.
