In A Dream

Chap 1

Alexis' POV

My alarm rang at seven. I sat up in bed. "Ugh," I groaned as I plopped back in bed. "It's too far." The beeping from the clock was annoying me. I put my slippers on and walked across the room to turn off my alarm. "Now I'm awake." It was a daily routine for me. If I had my alarm on my nightstand next to me, I wouldn't get up at all. "Okay." I showered and got dressed in skinny jeans, black high tops, and my sleeveless Marilyn Monroe hoodie. "Good thing I live in my own apartment." I walked to my kitchen and made me a bowl of Cinnamon Toast Crunch. There was a knock on the door. I opened it. "Yes?"

"Alexis Inthavong?" asked the delivery guy.

"Yeah," I said.

"Sign here please," he stated. I did. "Here you are."

"Thank you," I said grabbing the box. I placed it in front of the couch and checked my watch. "Time." I quickly ate my cereal and went to my room. I put my hair up in a bun letting my bangs fall into place. I grabbed my phone, keys, and backpack and headed out to my car. I put my backpack in the backseat and closed the door. I turned around and got scared. "Gosh! Ashley! Would you not scare me like that?"

"I'm sorry," said Ashley. "I was wondering if I can get a ride from you."

"You don't have to ask," I said. "Just get right in."

"Alright," said Ashley. We got into my 2010 black Chevy Camaro. I drove us all the way to the campus. "We're here."

"Yeah," I said grabbing my backpack. "Ugh. Let's get our classes over with today."

"I don't suppose you have creative writing, do you?" asked Ashley.

"I have that on Tuesday and Thursday at eleven to twelve fifteen," I said. "I actually have criminology today from eleven to eleven fifty."

"You have fun with that," said Ashley.

"I'll try," I said. I went to class and my phone kept vibrating so I put it on silent to focus on the lesson. After class, I went to my car, got in, started it, and checked my phone. They were twitter DMs, mostly from Blake. "That boy just won't listen will he?"

"Who?" asked Ashley getting in the car.

"Blake," I said. "Let me answer these and we can go."

"Okay," said Ashley. "I got nothing but time."

"Here we go," I said. I drove back to the apartment. "You going to spend time at my place before you head to yours?"

"Like last year," said Ashley.

"Come on," I said. We went up to my place. I set my backpack on one of the dining chairs. "What do you want to eat?"

"I don't know," said Ashley sitting on the couch in front of the big box. "What's in the box?"

"I don't know," I said. "I had to leave and didn't have time to check it." I grabbed a box cutter from the kittchen drawer and opened the box. "Whoa." I put the box cutter on the coffee table. "I didn't..."
