"Why do you have to be so dumb?"

The word 'dumb' lingered in my head.

"I'm not dumb" I yelled, rubbing the tears away from my face.

"And why do you have to be so mean?"

"It's not my fault you stink at everything" The bully said, taking a step closer.

And that's when I saw him, the one, the only Conner Write. A.k.a the love of my life. Every time I look at him, his hair seems to get more perfectly styled, his eyes seemed to get more dreamy, and his name was more fit for mine. But, I knew he would never talk to me. Not even for a minute. That's when it happened. He ran over to me and helped me up like I wasn't such a dork after all.

"Hey I wasn't finished 'playing' with her yet" The bully snickered.

"Ya. But, I'm done with you bulling her, find someone else to 'play' with" Yelled Conner. Just after he said his words he dragged me to the maple tree I always sit at.

"Are you okay?" Conner asked with concern.

"Y-Yes, I-I think" I said stuttering.

"So, just wondering, you know...if your not busy or anything, would you want to eat lunch with me? You know, just in case Josh tries to bug you again" Conner asked trying to keep his cool.

OMG! Did Conner Write just ask me to sit with him at his table at lunch? He did! He did! Wow, when he touched my arm, it was like us at our wedding holding hands while going down the aisle.

And that's when I woke up. It was the best dream I've had in years and it ended with him holding on to my arm smiling at me and I've got to snap out of this before reality hits me too hard.

*Cellphone rings* 

What the?I picked up my phone and to my surprise, it was my best friend Sarah.

"So, are you going to school today?" Sarah asked.

"Yes. I guess, but I will have to be out at the buss stop in..OMG One minute! Sorry but, I have to get ready!"

I made it there just in time for the bus and sure enough, I was off to school...AGAIN.
