Chapter Four

"Noelle, wake up!" My sister's voice startles me awake, and I glare at her with anger in my eyes. "Come on, you don't want to be late for your first day of school!" What was she talking about? That already happened, yesterday. Didn't it?

"What do you mean? That was yesterday." Sadie looks at me with confusion.

"What are you talking about? No, it wasn't. It's today. Now get up, Mom's made breakfast." She leaves my room without another word and I'm left dumbfounded. Was she messing with me? Yesterday was the first day of school. As I'm sitting in bed, wondering how I can prove to myself if it was real, I suddenly remember my agenda and school schedule that I left in my bag. I rush over to it, dumping the contents out. I can't believe what I'm seeing when my agenda and school schedule are not in there. Not even my notes that I had taken are in there! All of my notebooks are completely blank!

"What the hell..." I whisper to myself, shoving everything back in. Was everything that had happened yesterday just a dream? Did I create the lonesome boy named Calum and the tall stranger with remarkable blue eyes? I had always thought that it had been too good to be true, but I never would have actually believed that I was actually dreaming! My feet carry me down to the kitchen to find, once again, my brother Tristan, scarfing down a croissant, like he had in my dream. "Okay, what is going on?" I demanded. He looked just as confused as I was.

"What?" I scoffed, crossing my arms over my chest.

"Sadie is telling me that it's the first day of school!" He nods.

"That's because it is."

"It is not!" I shout, throwing my hands down to my sides in frustration. He raises his in defense, continuing to eat his breakfast. As I pour myself some breakfast, I take my anger out on the poor cereal box, slamming it around. Then, a knock at the door.

"You'll get it," Tristan tells me. This time, I'm glad to, because if I see Ashton Irwin's face through that peep hole.. I might just go insane. I don't even bother looking out of the peep hole, but instead swing the door wide open and step outside. Sure enough, it was Ashton.

"Tell me I'm not crazy," I beg of him.

"Okay... you're not crazy." I swat him on the arm sort of harshly. "Ow! What was that for?"

"Say it like you mean it," I plead. He puts a hand on my shoulder, crouching down slightly to look me in the eyes.

"What's up with you today, Noe?"

"What day is it?" I ask. He seems thrown by the question.

"What?" I sigh.

"Look, it's a long story. Did you drive me to my first day of school yesterday?" Ashton laughs.

"I hope you don't have a hangover and that's why you can't remember anything," he jokes. I try to swat him again, but he catches my hand with his.

"Ashton, I'm being serious!" Wow, I sound like a whiny teenage girl right about now. "Sadie and Tristan are trying to convince me that yesterday never happened! And that today is the first day of school." Once I explain everything, Ashton finally understands.

"Ahh. Well, you're not crazy. Yesterday did in fact happen, and yesterday was in fact the first day of school." When Ashton tells me this I feel a sudden relief wash over me. I open the front door and let him in. Sadie comes prancing down the stairs, braiding her hair.

"Ready for the first day?" she asks me.

"Nice try. Ashton's told me everything." Sadie scowls at him.

"Well boo you, you're no fun. You only told her because you-" Tristan stopped her before she could continue, but I kind of wish she had anyways, to see what she would have said.
