Making our way to the photography store, with Ben following us of course, I got to know a bit more about Jakob. Turns out we have a lot in common. Our favourite colour and film genre are the same. We both enjoy the same music, and we both like similar clothing brands. I was glad we had a lot in common as that would make my crush on him more reasonable and not random.
As we spoke together and laugh, all I could hear is the faint growls coming from Ben behind us as he stomped around with his hands in his jeans pockets. Serves him right. Although he hasn't done anything wrong specifically, I just have a feeling that he somehow deserves it.

We arrive at the camera store in the school which conveniently was right at the opposite side of the building to the photography classroom. Which makes no sense what so ever. But it didn't take long for us to choose our camera and lenses.
"Hey [Name]! Smile!"
Jakob calls as he holds the camera to his face, looking trough the eyepiece as he attempts to take my picture. Once I notice what he was doing, I instantly cover my hands over my face, whining like a child.
"Oh my god! Jakob no! Don't!"
I cry with laughter as I try to run, but he lets go of the camera so the strap hangs around his neck, letting it dangle as he runs after me.
"Come on! One picture!!"
He yells as he begins to gain on me. Though I kept running and giggling like an idiot, thinking I was in the clear when suddenly arms warm around me from behind. Stopping my movement and yanking me back into a tight hold.
"Got you!"
He laughs as he removes one arm and grabs his camera, holding it out to take a picture of the both of us. I couldn't help but burst out laughing as he takes the picture. Instantly letting me go once the flash stops, looking down into the camera to check the photo.
"Hey that's pretty good! You should become a model."
He chuckles, showing me the picture. I couldn't help but cringe once I saw my face scrunched up like I had sucked on a Lemon with my mouth open wide during the laughter.
"Jakob than looks awful!"
I moan as I try to grab the camera. But he moves it away just before I could grab it. I try over and over but the same thing happens. I go to argue to tell him to delete it but a voice interrupts me.
"It's the end of the day. [Name]. We're leaving."
Ben stated bluntly. Grabbing my wrist harshly, starting to drag me away.
"Ben! Hey! Let go!"
I protest as I try to yank myself free from his grasp, but every time I tried to remove myself from his grip, he just held on tighter.
"Hey!-"
"It's okay Jakob! I'll see you tomorrow!"
I didn't want him to know how stupid I was to need a watcher and tutor so I turned down his help before he could intervene.

Walking down the street towards my house, Ben strolling behind me. I was so angry at him. But at the same time. I was so happy about my moment with Jakob. I couldn't help but smile and giggle to myself.
"What's so funny?"
Spoke an annoying voice from behind me. It was Ben. I scoff and ignore his words. Continuing to think about what happened today.
"Ahhh. It's that Jakob kid isn't it."
"Ben, stay out of this. It has nothing to do with you."
Ben was just about to reply but my house came into view, so without warning, I made a run for it. Running to my house as quick as possible and hurrying inside. Slamming the door and locking it. See you get in now you bastard.
Quickly I head for the stairs but I didn't get far as I hear my name be called from my parents. Sighing, I head back down the two steps I managed to get up and towards the kitchen. Sat at the table was my mother, father and a man in what appeared to be a mix between a suit and a lab coat.
"[Name]. This is Dr Yuuto from Japan. He's here to help you with your nightmares."
I couldn't help but roll my eyes. They were just dreams, that's all they were. They didn't and still don't mean anything. Nothing drastic has happened after having the dream.
"Hello [Name]. As your mother introduced. I am Dr Yuuto. We will be seeing each other a lot for the next few months."
With that, he bows and heads towards the front door. Great. Another Male I have to spend everyday with pestering me.
Huffing in frustration, I run upstairs to my room before my parents could stop me. Heading inside my room and slamming the door shut. Leaning my back against it and closing my eyes as I take a deep breath in to calm my nerves.
"Dream therapy huh?"
Spoke a voice. My eyelids slam open as I look in the direction of the source.
"Ben?! How did you get in here!?"
