The summer morning had been strangely ordinary for such an extraordinary monday. Pen wokeup, got into an old pair of light wash jeans and an oversized t shirt with the words "ain't even qt". She put on makeup, threw her pink hair into a messy pony, and took a long look in the mirror. Deciding she looked too worker-bee, she took off the shirt and cut it to make it a muscle tee. Then, throwing on her headphones and plugging them into her ipod, she headed into the dorm hallway. She was halfway down the hall before she remembered to have breakfast. Pen checked her ipod. 8:30 AM. she sprinted to her dorm, but when she got to the door, she realized it was the summer. No school. Pen sighed. Her back was against the door, and she slid down to a sitting position. Suddenly shehad the energy to stand up. She looked down and was wearing a pink jumpsuit. She ran over to the cafeteria, where she saw Devon Gallaway in all of his unbelievable hotness say the two words she'd wanted him to say to Olivia Hemburne for forever. "It's over." Then he rushed over to where Pen was standing and took her in his arms. I love you, Penelope Strider," he said, and pushed her against a wall, kissingthe response out of her lips. Pen melted into Devon gluing her arms to him. Her eyes were shut tight.

When she woke up, she was sprawled in the dorm hallway. her eyes flicked up to see Devon Gallaway standing above her. For a minute she thought that they had actually kissed, until she saw that standing with him was Olivia Hemburne, and Devon wasn't wearing a shirt. Olivia's arms were glued around him and Pen understood. It had been a dream, and her Prince Charming was trying to get into her dorm room to do it with her roommate, his girlfriend of two years. Pen got up, sighing. It was 9:42, so she'd only been asleep for over an hour. Pen was still super tired.

"Do you mind if i go back inside, too? I want to fall asleep in somewhere other than the dorm hallway, preferably my bed."

Olivia sniffed and nodded yes. Pen opened the door. "After you, lovebirds." She followed and climbed to her top bunk. Burying herself in a blanket and shoving on her headphones, Pen could still see Devon kissing Olivia in her mind. But she willed the thought out of her mind and tried to ignore her heart breaking in two for the millionth time.
