The Dreams

I couldn't sleep.

The dreams I had were unbearably strange. I couldn't understand them, I wouldn't.

I was in this white abyss. Angelica was there as well, as I had expected. She mumbled things I couldn't possibly decipher. But I woke up after that, sweating.

I had decided to stay up the rest of the night. It wasn't exactly the best idea ever, but I did anyways. My parents seemed to know in the morning, because they stared at me for a second before talking.

I had to catch up with my friends that day, since I had supposedly dazed a bit while eating slowly. They weren't picky about it, so I was relieved. But they were suspicious, so I had to be on my guard.

I didn't do much today. Angelica didn't look at me, just at her desk. She seemed to have had her hands intwined firmly, and her teeth looked clunched. Trying to smile was no use, either.

At lunch she did stare at me, though, which was puzzling. But not in the same fury as yesterday, but with gentle eyes. She seemed at ease. She even smiled at me once during Lunch, and I got really flushed, so, naturally I ate everything in one bite. I'm pretty sure she laughed.

She also had, as I had discovered, three siblings. Anne, Marcus, and Scarlett Marie. They were all very good looking, but nothing alike. It was almost as if they were adopted. But they weren't, Angelica said so in class the other day.

My friends weren't aware, though. Most of them were talking about the upcoming dance. I could wait. Dancing was easy, but I had no date. I didn't want to go, anyways. My friends already had dates. This was common, though. I never accompanied them to that kind of thing. If I ever did, I would probably end up talking to absolutely no one, having no fun whatsoever.

So I decided then and there I wasn't going to the dance.
