Marie awoke with the beams of sun shining in her face, she rolled onto her side feeling the stiffness in her other shoulder. She buried her face into her sheets, the scent of her own being filling her nose. Her sheets had that comforting childhood smell, it reminded her of her home in Russia. Vivid memories danced in her head grays and blues making her 7 year old self twirl around with delight 

"благодарю вас!!!" she said happily at the old man at the, running away shoving the sweets into her pocket. After a minute she stopped watching her breath turn to vapor. She looked as it flew into the air disappearing as if it never existed in the first place. Marie started to kick the frozen ground while looking around as if she were a criminal trying not to get caught. She felt like all eyes were on her, she wasn't doing anything wrong but it didn't feel right at the same time and she didn't know why. She went further away from the people, secluding herself because she felt like her world was falling, just a little. She went behind a trash can, hearing the voices and music from the festival finally fade away.  She gently put her hand in her warm pocket feeling the wrapper and hearing the faint crinkles from her pocket, she pulled it out. The plastic rubbed against her skin enough irritating it, she looked at wrapper ignoring the red skin. she read the words aloud 
"шоколад" she said, the words put a smile on her face. Her cheeks were red from being in the cold but her body didn't feel chilly. She was comfy and warm, she closed her eyes at the sudden gust of cold air going through the area. Her eyes water once she opened them, they felt as if there was sand in them. She put down the chocolate, rubbing them carefully. 

"больше никаких отвлекающих факторов!!!!!" she said to herself. Marie unwrapped the wrapper, she straightened it out then folded it up quickly shoving it in her pocket getting back to the real prize. She examined the chocolate, swirls were engraved onto the soft solid. It was starting to melt in her fingers, she took a bite out of the sweet and let it melt in her mouth. The feeling was soft and made her think about the softness of cats fur. She shoved the candy in her mouth, letting it all melt, slowly, she started to chew the bits that were taking to long in her favor and swallowed. Marie sat on the hard ground, letting her surroundings come back to her. "Marie!" her friend grabbed her hand and pulled her back into the main area where music was playing louder than before. People were dancing, her friend started to dance and so did Marie. Nothing seemed to matter. 

Marie woke up, not realizing she had fallen asleep. She moved around in her bed, thinking about the dream that was still a vivid memory in her gentle head.
