      To be honest Math class was so incredibly uneventful that there was actually time for a nap.   Mr. Powers put a movie on that didn't have any class work assigned to it which basically translated as : teenage nap time!  Perhaps there was hope for Eryne liking him after all.  There was no way She was going to pass up this rare opportunity to decompress from the events of the day so far.  Any kind of recharge was better than none.  Now she had a better likely hood of finishing the day out strong!  Eryne knew she would lucid dream.  The darkness crept up to circle around her like it does every time before taking over.  It was a black cloud that grew closer and closer until her surroundings were all blacked out.  Eryne was just sitting on her desk surrounded be the peaceful space that was between her destination and her reality.  The best way she knew how to describe this place would be a kind of door.  Door that didn't have any actual doors.  All she had to do was let herself fall in and see where it would take her.  Eryne stood up from her desk to get ready. 

      I hope I don't sleep walk or talk this time, that would suck.

      She felt herself slip into a pool of nothingness that she understood to be the entrance of her dream realm.  This one was interesting because it literally felt like she was falling through water.  She was floating in water waiting.  Swirling around to see if she could detect any form of approach, off too the right there was a dim light that appeared to come closer.  As it neared, Eryne saw that it was pulsating.  That was horrifying.  She screamed into the murky abyss which seemed to cause what was to come, speed up. 

      She closed her eyes and waited. In the mean time the light was upon her.  It was her destination coming to show her what she needed to know and it looked like some kind of giant mirror.   Suddenly there was a sense of gravity as Eryne began to be pulled in and through to the other side.  She felt herself breech the surface before falling on her side.  She was a  public bathroom.

      Please please please no sleep walking, oh god... what if its a boys room?!

      Eryne knew that this was the past of someone when she looked in the mirror and saw herself and not someone else.  Now if only she could figure out where she was.  For all she knew, she was in some random public restroom in a convention center in the Netherlands.  Well that would certainly be interesting.  Eryne could already hear the questions that no one would ever ask her because she wasn't stupid enough to tell people she dreams this way.  "Gee Eryne, What are you doing in the men's restroom of the Vatican?"  Her inner monologue of bizarre bathroom interrogation wasn't helping her so she she decided to leave.  She marched to the door and couldn't grab the nob.  It went right through her fingers. 

      ok? I guess I can just walk through?  

      She kicked at the door because she wasn't about to just straight up walk at the thing. Eryne already fell for that one. Boy was she glad she remembered that cuz even kicking that door hurt. So apparently shes staying in the bathroom for this nap. With a huff, Eryne walks over to the wall facing away from the door and slides her back down in defeat. Her ADHD kicked in not long after and she started looking for sources of entertainment. a whole 3 minutes passed before the door slammed open. 

      A girl was thrown down on the floor which scared the crap out of Eryne to the point where she was standing.  She tried going to the girl to see if she was okay but it was no use, no matter what Eryne said, she was unable to be seen or heard by the girl.  Her hair looked familiar, Eryne had a greasy ball of anxiety build up in her throat as she waited for the female to show her face to her.  The person that threw her was a male that started screaming at her.  He was too delirious to be heard clearly so Eryne focused to try and make out what he was saying.  "I KNOW YOUR SCREWING HIM YOU SLUT! HE WAS MY BEST FRIEND WHATS WRONG WITH YOU?!"  He didn't wait for a response, instead he kicked her.   Rage coursed through Erynes body at the site.  She wanted nothing more that to shove her shoe against his throat.  What kind of coward does that? She turned to face the female that was kicked to her side.
