The weird dream

That night, Stacey experience a weird dream. She sees herself running after a boy. She can't see his face but somehow, she's knows it's Alex. She runs after him. She sees, that Alex is also running after a girl and is trying to grab her hand. Stacey keeps running as fast as she can. She just wants to see his face, just one time. Just a little. She keeps running and running and running. It feels like an eternity has passed and she is still running after him. It feels like a curse and she wants someone to free her from it. She again sees Alex, trying to grab the girls hand he is running after. When he has finally reached for her hand, he grabs it and at that instant someone grabs Stacey's hand. Just like Alex ha grabbed the girls arm. Stacey enthusiastically turns around to see who it is. Stacey's eyes widen, when she sees the person grabbing her hand. Then the alarm clock of Stacey's room starts ringing, causing Stacey to wake up.)

Stacey: FUCK! What the hell was that?

Chloe: What happened honey? (Asks in a sleepy voice)

Stacey: Nothing mum. You sleep. I'm going to get ready for school.

Chloe: Ok, honey.

(Stacey starts getting ready for school. Still thinking, about the weird dream she had. That she can't even remember properly. She asks herself what was it? Most importantly who I saw? Why was I shocked? Still bewildered by her dream she walks towards kitchen. After eating breakfast, she leaves for school. Stacey stays in a weird mood all day. In break time. While sitting with everyone, Stacey again starts thinking about the dream. And starts looking at the diary. She is lost is her thoughts and can't even hear a sound, of anyone's voice.)

Eren: Hello, hello is anyone there? Is she dead?

Jessica: Shut up Eren!

Andrew: Its, like a dead body is sitting with is.

Eren: I can't believe it. That being with me a talk, dark handsome man. She is lost in some stupid thoughts. She should be focused on me!

( Jessica hits Eren )

Jessica: Eren, stop with your narcissism. Don't forget your girlfriend is sitting right beside you!

Andrew: Stace. Hey, Stace!

Stacey: Yeah? (Looks at everyone in confusion)

Eren: Oh, you are alive!

Stacey: Yeah. ( starts looking at the diary)

Jessica: What's even is in the diary? That you always keep it with you?

Andrew: Hey! It's important to her.

Stacey: It's from someone, I... from someone... I love.

Jessica: Woah. You have a lover?

Eren: Yeah and it's me!

Andrew: Shut up, Eren!

Stacey: Hey, I was thinking. That we should hangout, at my place after school.

( Everyone starts staring at Stacey in surprise)

Stacey: What?

Eren: Its just, we can't believe you are inviting us.

Jessica: Yeah seriously. We thought you would never like us to be in your home.

Stacey: Why would you, think that?

Andrew: Well, you never really enjoy with us.

Stacey: What? Are you kidding me? Without you guys my life would be hell.

Jessica: Wow, we will finally get to see the old creepy house with trees.

Stacey: Wait, you guys know where I live?

Eren: Duh. It's quite a famous place in this town. People used to think it's haunted. Because, it was abandoned for some years. But then you guys shifted there.

Jessica: So, it's final! We will meet you at the main gate after school.

Stacey: Ok.

( After school. Stacey finds everyone standing at the main gate, she rushes towards them. Everyone starts heading towards Stacey's house. Having little chats and allot of fooling around. Finally they reach Stacey's house. Stacey opens the door and suddenly her mother appears.)

Stacey: Hey, guys. This is my Mum. Mum these are my friends. She's Jessica, he's Eren and that's Andrew. ( says pointing towards each of them )

(Everyone greets Chloe and walks inside. Chloe tells them to sit in the hall and that she will be coming in two minutes.)

(Everyone gathers around Eren for a group photo. Then after that, they play some games and chat allot. After sometime, Stacey's dad walks in with mugs of hot chocolate. They have a long chat with her father. Everyone enjoys themselves to the fullest, especially Stacey. After a while in the evening, everyone starts leaving for their homes. Stacey leads everyone towards the door to say bye to everyone.)

Stacey: Yeah. Take care of yourself too.

(Stacey hugs Andrew and everyone leaves. After saying goodbye to her friends
Stacey moves to the kitchen, to help her dad in making the dinner. Stacey again, gets lost in her thoughts. She realizes, how much she is changed. Stacey tells herself, to stop thinking about everything and to enjoy her weekend. She tells herself that her mother is not going to be here, for a long time. So, she should enjoy the time with both of her parents. She runs towards the Tv and announce that they will be watching a movie tonight. Stacey plays a movie and her father brings the plates to everyone. Chloe brings the dish and they enjoy a movie night.)
