Dream Machine

Chapter 4

The next morning I was greeted by the smell of bacon. Oh. I love bacon. The smell immediately got me out of bed. I quickly make my bed, making sure to put my stuffed animals in their correct spots. Yes, I have stuffed animals. Yes, I give them a specific spot on my bed. So what?

I brush my teeth and comp my hair into a ponytail. I grab my scrunchie and tie it up. Then I rush down the stairs. This is going to be a perfect day. 

Then it hit me. I remember the dream from last night. The wierd dream. Wait dream? Yes dream. But it seemed so real. I shake the thoughts off my head when my mom's voice rings through my head.

"Autumn. AUTUMN."

"Yes?" I look up and see my brain managed to get my feet to bring me to breakfast. "What did you say Mom?"

"I said, Are your friends awake?" She rolls her eyes. "You have to pay attention to me when I'm talking to you." 

"My friends?...Oh yah, My friends! Sorry Mom. Not my morning." 

I walk back upstairs to find my friends still sleeping soundly in my room. I feel bad for waking them in the middle of the night. I shake Scarlett awake. At first I shake gently. When that didn't work, I shake her a little more violently. This works. Hannah would be a little tougher. And I wouldn't do the water thing anymore. Once is enough for one week. I shake Hannah and surprisingly she woke up. 

After they both had their five minutes in the bathroom, we finally headed downstairs. The wait made my stomach growl every once in a while.

I scarf down the food. Mid bite I hear my Mom grunt. I look up and she gives me that Act Lady-Like look. Ugh. I slow down. After breakfast I did the dishes. My friends had to leave after that so I said goodbye. 

Back in my room, I am sitting at my desk.The clock reads 10:30. So much time. I decide to just go to the park. It's a few minutes away from the warehouse so it will make everything easier. I pack myself a sandwich with turkey, cheese, and lettuce. Then I leave for the park.

The park is not really a park. It doesn't have a playground. It's more of those scenery type parks. With many trees and a big grass field where different groups of kids were playing, with their parents watching nearby. I sit on a park bench and close my eyes.

This is nice. No one to bother me. No one passing my invisible bubble. Just me and nature, sorta.

I spent the rest of the time until 12:30 thinking about my suckish life.I had set an alarm for 12:30 on my watch. Then I start walking towards the warehouse while eating my sandwich.

I walk in the warehouse at around 1:03 to find Vivian and Micah standing in the center. 

"I thought you might come. Most people do the first day."

"Yah well you were right! Do you know anything about my dream last night?" 

"I do. I was in it remember?"

"Yes. But why?" 

"I need to watch how you react to certain things. And even when you are with someone."

I cross my arms.

"Basically this site helps you find your mate by putting you in a dream that seems realistic. You forget its a dream. You will grow that special bond with the person from your dream. Well, you might. It depends on how both of you react in situations. If that makes sense."

I nod my head slowly taking in information.

"Now time's up. I have another appointment. Bye." Vivian shooes me away.

On my way out the boy from yesterday walks in. We eye each other and both quickly look away. That was awkward.I think to myself. I leave the waarehouse.
