IN SEARCH OF HER DREAMS

Chapter 1

Hello again! I hope you enjoyed the introduction. here is the first chapter of the story. Enjoy :-)

If this room was burning; I wouldn't even notice;

Cause you've been takin up my mind with your;

Little white lies, little white lies.........

"Oh my god, where is it burning?" I wake up with panic in my chest. "Good morning dreamer. It isn't burning anywhere. I was just singing a song" said my sister wearing my headphones. "What are you doing here Ave? Why are you taking my things?" she completely annoys me at times. She has her own things but, she always finds reasons to take mine. "My headphones are not working. Please let me use yours. I will return it safely". The way she looks at me with that puppy eyes when she wants something from me, aww. "Okay" I said with a smile. I watch her hop back to her room as the door closes behind her.

I slowly turn to my side with the thoughts of the man in my dreams and then I notice it, the picture I drew in my sleep. It is a picture of him hugging me. His face is clear but, only the backside of my head can be seen.

I didn't know that I had this talent of drawing what I see in my dreams while I was asleep. A few weeks ago, I was doing my homework and I fell asleep with the note and pencil in my hand. The next day, I woke up with a drawing of this same guy playing basketball. Since that day, I always have a note and a pencil in my hand while going to sleep.

I keep the note aside and walk down the steps to the hall after brushing my teeth and changing my dress. The smell of waffles hit my nose and I walk to the kitchen. Mom was making waffles. "Did you see that boy again in your dream?" my mom asked while taking plates from the shelves. "Erm, yes mom. And I drew a picture of him again". My parents know about the dreams that I get and about my drawings. I help my mom to set the table for breakfast. After eating breakfast I go to my room and take my phone to text my friend to ask if she's free this evening so that we can go to our favorite ice-cream shop as today is the last day of our vacation.

Me: hey! you free today evening?

Mia: yes. what is it?

Me: just wanted to go to the ice-cream shop and hang out with you :)

Mia: ok. evening @6.

Me: See you there.

Mia has been my best friend since fourth grade. She is such a sweet girl with a beautiful smile you could ever imagine. She has always been by my side and is as crazy as I am. I should have been very lucky to have got a friend like her. A friend who is just like me and understands me very well.

I take a shower and put on a striped dress that reaches my knees. When I reach the shop, I see Mia inside the shop, waiting for me. I go and sit opposite to her. "Hey, how were your holidays?" she asked with a bright smile on her face. "It was really good but, from tomorrow school reopens. The same homework, the same boring lecture and the same people. I wish this holiday never ends". I mean, who likes to wake up early and get ready to school just to go there and sleep again? We were talking about random things for so long that I didn't notice it was 8:30 already. "Bye Mia, see you tomorrow at school". "Don't wake up late, dreamer" she teases me.

I walk back home as it was just a few blocks away from the shop. Why do I get this feeling that someone is following me? I hear the footsteps of someone behind me. I turned around to see who it was but to my dismay, there was no one. I should be overthinking. Anyways, who is going to follow me?

I reached home within a few minutes. I went straight to my room brushed my teeth and got into my shorts and sweatshirt. I set alarm for 6 am on my phone and I went off to sleep.

He waves at me from a distance and I could see him walking towards me. "Hello Ashlin" he says with a known smile. It's only now I noticed that he has a dimple on one of his cheeks. It makes him much more handsome and cute at the same time. "Are you coming tonight for a movie?" he asked, hoping that I will agree. How can I reject this guy with whom I get stuck up with the words in my mouth? "Yes, but......"

I didn't even know his name. "But what?" he asked with a hint of worry in his face. "What is your name?"
