I woke up from my odd dream about Jack and looked at the clock. It was 4:48 am. I'm supposed to wake up at 5:45 am for Chamber. I made another attempt to fall asleep, but it didn't work, so I just laid there and looked at the ceiling.
I took out my phone and checked my notifications. I went on I Instagram and tapped on Jack's account. I tapped on his tagged photos and started to scroll through them, admiring how happy and dumb he looks in each of them.
I can't stop thinking about him lately.
I went to my messages and opened a conversation with Aliza. I know she isn't even awake yet but I just need to get my thoughts out.
Me: "Hi"
There was no response but I continued to type anyway.
Me: "Ik you're sleeping but I had the weirdest dream"
Me: "It was about Jack. Instead of me getting asked out by Sean, it was Jordan. It all played out exactly before I was sick, but I was in the crowd getting jealous that Jack pushed Sean down for Jordan."
It was now 5:05 am, Aliza would be awake by now.
Aliza: "So why are you telling me this?"
Aliza: "Do you like him?!!"
I thought for a moment and responded.
Me: "I guess."

It was finally last period. We were doing these stupid major scale sheet stations. It took me about ten minutes to do the first one, and I had to go in line to check it with Mr. Naughton. I stepped in the long line and Aliza soon followed holding her finished second sheet. We looked at each other, but said nothing since the room was completely silent except for Mr. Naughton correcting people. Ethan soon joined us in line and broke the silence.
"I ship you in Jack Brand," he said.
I rolled my eyes and folded my arms. Aliza laughed and we walked closer to the front of the line.
"Are you Costco brand?" Aliza said, referring to Jack's last name. We laughed, and Ethan added to her comment.
"You're Jack's Brand."
