Dreamcatcher

Chapter 3

"Goodmorning" the teacher says. "Goodmorning" answers the class.

Thank God we have Mr Smith in Maths otherwise I wouldn't survive this. He's my favourite teacher, he also teaches English, next year he'll be my classteacher.

Next year I also start with doing my A Level. It's going to be a hard time, I will have to learn a lot. As I said I'd like to study psychology, preferably in London. But living in London is so bloody expensive and then I also have to pay for Uni. Yes, I'm a dreamer, but I'd do everything to make my dreams come true and if my grades are good enough I maybe get a scholarship, then I'd only have to pay for an appartment.

"Zoe?" A voice wakes me out of my day dreams. "Zoe, are you okay? You look so distant." It's my best friend Mim.

I know Mim for like 5 years, we have so much in common. And the most important thing is that she's always been by my side, no matter what. She's really that kind of best friend you read about in books. The one you can call at 3am and doesn't get mad. Mim is so funny, she can always brighten up my day, I'm really thankful to have her and she knows that, she's also really happy to have me. Frankly, I think we're just both really happy to have a friendship like this.

"Yes, I'm okay Mim." I answer after a short pause. She smiles at me "Sometimes you look like a retard when you're staring arround." I smirk. "Oh thanks that's really nice of you" I answer with an ironic sound in my voice, still smirking at her.

"Ladies? Do you have any questions or are you otherwise engaged?" Mr Smith asks. Mim and I start giggling. Thank God it's Mr Smith. He smiles at us and goes on with his lesson.

8 hours of school pass by. Actually school isn't as crappy as I think every morning. It's actually well fun as long as you have the right people arround you.

I give Mim a long hug

"Today I'm going to the eye shop again" I say with a huge smile on my face. She looks at me and rolls her eyes. "Gosh Zoe you're grinning like a Cheshire cat again haha" Mim laughs.

There's a guy who works at the eye shop, he's 22, so 5 years older than me, but he's so cute. I really like him. I like him since the first time I saw him. He has chocolate brown hair, a three day beard and light blue eyes with a dark blue circle arround his iris. He doesn't always wear his glasses, but if he does he looks even hotter than if he doesn't. And he has such a good style, he also has some piercings, one in each ear and a septum. A small tattoo decorates his wrist. It says 'Go big or go home'. Gosh I'm so in love. I only talked a few times with him, because I need new glasses, but if we talk, we talk a lot. And not only about glasses but about... Life and stuff like that.

"When are you gonna ask him out?" Mim asks. "Mim, I can't ask him out that would be so embarassing" I say and start laughing. "C'mon Zoe, you went to that bloody eye shop for about 5 times, your glasses could've been ready since ages, so don't tell me you don't want to try it" Mim says. I become more serious. "Mim, I hate you. You know very well that I don't like talking to foreign people, especially not if I need to ask them something" I answer, but still with a decent smile on my mouth.

Damn, she knows I'm gonna give in. I would ask him but 1. A girl can't ask a boy out in my opinion and 2. I'm way too shy for that.

"He's not a foreigner, you already talked to him a couple of times" Mim argues. "I know you want it" Mim starts singing and smirks at me. "Ugh Mim stop it" I laugh. "I know you want it" Mim starts singing louder, somebody please make her stop. She gets louder and louder. "OKAY" I yell at her, she stops singing "Okay I'll ask him" I hiss annoyed "At a suitable opportunity" I say more relaxed.

"Girl, I know you since 5 years" Mim says "and you've had a crush on many boys and I know you got hurt often, but seriously I've never seen you as happy as you are when you talk about him. I only have your best interests at heart, you know that." "Yea, I know Mim, but" Mim interrupts me "And that's why you should ask him out, because it would make you unbelievably happy to spend more time with him" Mim says soulfully. I smile at her. "Thanks for being my best friend" I tell her. "Thanks for being my best friend, too" she says, smiling back at me.

"Okay, so today I'll make a complete fool of myself... in a bloody eye shop" I say and Mim bursts out laughing. "Believe me you won't regret it, if it goes wrong we still have something worth to remember" she laughs with tears rolling down her cheeks.

I start laughing with her and we walk to the bus stop together.

'Gosh Zoe, this will either end up being the best decision of your life or the worst one' I think.
