I followed the boy from a couple aisles away. I don't think he noticed my appearance,but I'm not sure. He wasn't with his mom or dad,but with a girl.
His girlfriend?
The girl he was with went to get some make-up while he waited at the end of the aisle. I ran up to him,it WAS Matt!
"Is she your girlfriend?" I sounded like I was smoking something or on crack.
"What? I think you've for the wrong person..?" He was confused.
"No,you're Matt,right?" I asked frantically.
"Yes.."
"Are you and," I pointed to the girl,"that girl..dating?" He looked at her and started laughing hysterically.
"What!? No! That's my sister!" He couldn't stop laughing.
I took a deep breath and nodded.
"Why? Wait..you're from the pool, right?" He asked.
"Because..I have to tell you about my whole dream I had. You were like the main person. We like LOVED each other. Yes,I'm from the pool. That's not the point. I'm Avalanna. You're Matthew,but you like to be called Matt. Can I explain my dream to you? Please? It felt so fucking real.." I ranted on.
"Okay,I'm about to leave. Want my number?" He asked holding out his phone,ready to type.
"I already know it..I had it in my dream"
"Okay..read it back to me," referring to the number.
"Is it,(559) 978-6720?" I asked.
"Yeah,how did you know? Like how did you come up with my ACTUAL number?" He was as creeped out as I was.
"I-I don't know,I just see things,I guess."
"Matt!?" His sister called."C'mon we gotta go pick up Dylan from to doctors." She called again.
"I'll,uh,text you,Ava." He waved goodbye.
"Yeah..okay," I gave him a half smile. I needed to tell him in person,but I guess texting him would be okay too. I just needed to talk.
"Honey?" My mom called from behind me,making me jump. "I'm sorry,I just wanted to tell you that I saw some really cute folders! Wanna come look?" She asked.
"No,thanks,Mom. I was looking for something specific but I guess they didn't have it,sorry. Did you find everything you needed?" I asked looking at a basket full of random house utensils.
"Oh,yes,Sweetie! I even found-" I kinda blocked her out. I don't really know what she said after that.
After we loaded up the trunk, we got in the car and my mom was going on and on about something she saw about cats on the news. I tuned her out,not because it was boring as hell, but because I couldn't help but only think about Matt.
Did he think I was weird? I mean,I acted weird right now because I had to tell him. But does he think I'm always this weird? Does he LIKE weird? I don't even know what to think anymore. I have no idea what's real and what isn't.
I look down and see that I had gotten a text from Matt 2 minutes ago. I quickly look at it
M-Me ME-Matt
ME: Ava?
M:yeah
ME:okay,I'd love to hear your dream. ☺
Crap..he's sweet.
M:okay,be prepared. It's long haha
ME: I'm ready!
