Where am I? What is this place? Why does this place seem familiar? It feels like I've been here before. Ah, this must be a dream.

"Hello?"I called out.

"Oh hello there, Alaura." a familiar deep voice called.

"Who are you? Show yourself."

"Hi, it's me the principal, Mr. White. How are you Alaura?" he informally introduced himself as he walks towards me.

Well, this is weird. This is definitely a dream. Our principal doesn't speak to me that way. In the real world, he acts, speaks, and talks differently. I guess I should just go with the flow.

"Good..."I shuffled for the time, since I was in our classroom, along with my principal. I suddenly remembered, in the real world, I always carry a watch around my wrist. Here it is... WAIT WHAT!?!?!? Oh my gosh, what is this.... the watch says it's A.M.: It's morning. What? In the real world, I only have an ordinary watch with ordinary numbers. What the fudge!?!?!?

"Good morning Mr. Principal, I'm doing well?"I replied, shuffling for more words.

"Good, you're going to be a prom queen tonight." he happily said while my classmates cheered.

"Go Alaura. That's my friend. Whooo!"Haela supported.

WHAT THE ?!?!?!? I was alone and in a snap, they are there? With my teacher?!?!? Cheering!?!?! For me?!?!? What in Dreamland is this?

"You are now proclaimed as the PROM QUEEN. Congratulations"the host said as he puts a weird-looking but a beautiful crown with intricate designs on my head, while a thin assistant helped put on a sash, and Axel, gave me a bouquet of beautiful flowers.

I was in a classroom and now I'm the PROM QUEEN?!?!? In front of an AUDIENCE?!?! I'm very shy in the real world, but this is astounding. Crowds cheering for me and Axel giving me a bouquet of beautiful flowers is so not going to happen in real life. But who is Axel. I've never heard of him before. This is one weird dream.

I wanted to stay a little longer but, the mysterious figure kept lurking within the crowd. How long has he had been there? I have to run.

"Help!!!"I screamed and ran helplessly as the mysterious figure chased me.

I really can't describe it. It's too blurry and I need to run. The surroundings changed from an elegant giant stadium into a dark and horrifying endless forest. I lost the mysterious figure, but it was replaced by monsters I feared. FREAK IT!!! I have no place to run and no place to hide. I wanted and tried to wake up..... it's still no use.

I stopped by a swamp because I was too tired running. I don't know why, but I reached into my pockets. I took out a little hourglass with an ancient-looking design on the right pocket of my tight pants and also I took a pocket mirror that opens and closes on my left pocket. I tried not to look into the pocket mirror, because of some sayings and I was also too scared to open it.

Gathering my bravery, I opened the mirror and threw the hourglass inside. I don't know why, but I did it. The mirror suddenly hovered above my hand, creating a bright portal. Monsters saw the bright light and started chasing after me. Without knowing what to do, I jumped into the portal.

"GOODBYE YOU UGLY FREAKS!!!!!!!"

I was awakened by the bright sunshine and I am still in bed. Whew. That was only a dream, but why do I feel very tired? Is it because of running? Or did I-

"Sis, come have breakfast with us now. Or else-"

"Don't you dare finish the food. Spare me some-"

"No! Unless you hurry make the bed."

Well, at least I woke up from that horrendous dream.

"Ok. Wait for meeeee."
