Things That Hide in the Shaddows

Chapter 2: are my dreams a reality

Getting ready for bed isn't something i need to tell you, that would be boring. But that night i had a dream that i did not want to become a reality. I was at school, it was lunch time and Derek (the popular guy i was competing with) came up to me and said "competing with me, you have no chance, i don't know why you are popular, you have no muscles you are week, you are nothing". "At least i am better looking than YOU" i shouted, and then that made him get in a fight mood. He came at me, he shoved me to the ground and kicked me a few times. I got back up and i punched him, i don't know how it happened but he was flying through the air and he landed on the table making various peoples lunches go flying. I had broken his nose, as i walked away i said to him "that's what you get for messing with me".

The next morning i woke up myself Hazel didn't wake me. I probably woke up myself because i was worrying about if my dreams were becoming a reality or yesterday was just a strange happening, I did not want to be in a fight with Derek.

It was break and a few people from Derek's group left him and came to me. I became friends with them so Derek was not happy, he kept giving me dirty looks and gesturing that he wanted to fight me. I was getting worried, i did not want to fight Derek, even if it did turn out like it did in my dream i didn't want to hurt anyone.

Lunch time the part of the day i was dreading the most. For the first half an hour of lunch there was no sign of Derek, i always saw him at lunch with his girlfriend Sasha but she was alone. She came over to me and started saying how she is breaking up with him, she was trying to say she was going to be single. She was the prettiest and the most popular girl in the school and she came to me, why me, yeah i am popular but she could do better than me.

Then i saw him, he hadn't  seen me yet so i tried to hide. He spotted me just as i was about to walk out of the dinner room. He shouted "TAYLOR WAIT UP, WHERE YOU GOING SO FAST". I wasn't going to stop but i know that would have made everything worse."What is it Derek ?" i replied. "You have been taking my friends," he complained. "No i didn't take them, they came to me !! " i exclaimed. "Competing with me, you have no chance. I don't know why you are popular, you have no muscles, you are weak, you are nothing" he smugly said. I tried to keep it in but i blurted it out "at least i am better looking than you". Before i knew it he was shoving me about, he shoved me to the ground and kicked me about 4 times before he stopped. "what you gonna do Taylor" he laughed. I kicked him in the knee but he just laughed. I tried to keep it in but i couldn't. I punched him and he went flying into the table and have Katie's mashes potato all over him. As i ran away i shouted "THAT'S WHAT YOU GET FOR MESSING WITH ME".

When i got home Hazel and Mark asked me how my day had been, i did not tell them about what had happened. Mark asked me what i wanted for dinner but like the night before i was to worried about my dreams that i didn't want to eat.

Like the day before my dream became a reality. The strange thing is that i did not have any dream that night. were the past two nights and days just two very strange happenings ?. i didn't know what was going on but i wanted to find out.
