“Help! Help! Someone please help me!”

That voice. It was so familiar. I couldn’t find where it was coming from. It couldn’t even tell where I was. Or how I got to where I was.

“Help! Help!” the voice called once more.

“Who are you?” I shouted. No response. I walked over to where I thought the voice was coming from. Or was it that way? Who was I kidding? There was nothing but darkness.

“Help! Help!”

“Hello-“ I was cut off by a terrifying scream. Then suddenly ‘Boom Clap’ by Charli XCX started playing. I was confused…

 

Oh, it was a dream. Of course. And the song was coming from my phone. I was receiving a phone call from Xander. I answered it immediately. I wasn’t gonna tell him about the dream though. Especially since I realized whose voice that was. I decided to forget about it. I was going to talk to Xander now. This shouldn’t take too long.

 

“No way! That didn’t happen!” Okay, it’s been at least 45 minutes. When we start talking it just seems endless.

“I shit you not.”

“Thanks for not shitting on me,” I joked.

“Always a pleasure,” Xander laughed.

He and I were having this conversation on the phone. He had just told me the strangest story about how in high school his best friend dragged him to this concert for a band he could care less about. He had never really heard of the band and there music was too indie for him. He was very mainstream. Like another person. Anyways, he went to the concert since his friend said they would probably never come there again which they didn’t, and he had nothing else to do so Xander went to the concert. After the concert was a big party and the band attended. Xander didn’t see the drummer very well while the band was playing since he was in the back hiding behind a huge drum set and he ended up sleeping with him that night. I guess that story could have been shortened a little bit. Sorry, I just hung on to every word that this guy was saying. He was so smart and hot and older. Could you blame me?

We haven’t stopped talking actually. It was Tuesday morning and he called me to tell me to have a great day and we kind of got side tracked. Yesterday we actually saw each other again. I had forgotten about that whole President’s Day holiday thing and I happened to not have school. I was a little hesitant though because he told me that the next time we hung out, it would be around here. Good thing we didn’t. He said he still had some more things to show me around Boston. So glad Boston has so much to see. In case you might have forgotten, I apparently told him a bunch of lies the night I met him. I was extremely drunk and I told him I had some job and that I was in college but I apparently decided to be truthful about my name. That mattered a lot to me actually. I did not want him to go around calling me Daryl.

Anyways, yesterday we actually went hiking. There was this cool trail around the canyon of the park he brought me to. We hiked through it during the day after eating breakfast again at Xander’s favorite place. Once we were tired we went to go eat back at his apartment. His roommates were there and they didn’t seem as obnoxious as he said they’d be. We chilled with them for a bit and played some video games. All which I lost. It was still fun though. Being with him was fun. Being with him was just amazing. All I thought about was him and not… a certain person. It was great.

Bitch, you better be outside in ten minutes!
