Erased Dreams

Unremembered Dreams

    I sat up in my bed in a cold sweat, panting hard. I don't remember why I sat up and why I was sweating and panting but I remember- no wait, I don't even remember that. I rubbed my eyes, and looked out the window. There was barely any daylight streaming in. I looked at my clock and took a double take. It was 6:45.. and school started at 7:10.

    I threw off my sheets and ran to my bathroom. I turned the shower knob to warm as I put my blue mint toothpaste on my toothbrush. Stepping into the shower, I hastily wet my hair and scrubbed shampoo in with one hand and brushing my teeth with the other. I didn't even care that the shower water hadn't even warmed up and was freezing cold. After two minutes, I stepped out and wrapped a towel around me and spit my toothpaste mix into the sink. Grabbing a nearby cup, I hastily filled it, obviously overflowing it anyways, and sipped half of it, not caring it dribbled off my chin. It landed in the sink anyway. I gurgled it and spit my water gargle, which had small hints of my blue toothpaste foam into the sink.

    Still with my towel wrapped around me and my hair dripping, I threw my closet door open and grabbed a pair black leggings and a white shirt. Slipping on some undergarments, I then put on my clothes and grabbed my denim jacket. I slipped it on as I used my towel to dry my hair. If I had time, I would dry my hair with a dryer but I had no time to lose. I raced down the stairs and sat in my seat, scarfing down my cereal. At the moment, I didn't care my mom was a neat freak (I was spilling milk everywhere) and I was going into major trouble. I grabbed my water bottle and my Casio watch, which I strapped on. I shouldered my bag on after I checked my homework was in place. I looked at my watch; 6:50. I said a quick bye and rushed out the door, running as if a Griever was chasing me. Yeah, that's right. I read TMR. And if you don't know what that is, it's The Maze Runner (der). I kept running until I reached my first class period: Advanced Mathematics.

    I sat down just as the bell rang.

    Yes, I thought. Just in time!

    I took out my homework and my notebook from my backpack. I flipped it open and got ready for class, drifting into my school mind and setting my erased dreams for the time being.

~*le time skip*~

    I stuffed my things carefully into my shoulder bag and headed out for free period. My thoughts slipped back into the thoughts of my erased dreams.

    Did I even dream? I thought. Maybe that's the reason. Or-

    Before I could finish my thought, I heard shouting. Of my name. I turned my head and saw my friends. I smiled at them as they ran towards me.

    "Tsuna!" Rachel said, engulfing me in a hug. I let out a laugh, but it sounded more of a groan.

    "Rache! Um, you're kinda crushing my bones here though so if you could just..." I trailed, my voice squeezed. She let go and I took a deep breath. She looked at me in a calculating way.

    "What's up with you?" Rachel asked. I blinked at her.

    "Huh?" I asked, pretty sure I didn't sound very smart.

    "What's bothering you?" Rachel rephrased. I did a silent "ohhh" in my head.

    "Just something about this morning," I replied.

    "What would that be?" Victoria, my other friend, asked. I bit my bottom lip nervously. Should I tell them? I did a mental spin-the-wheel and finally decided on "beating around the bush."

    "I woke up really late today," I said, going with a somber voice which wasn't hard; I already felt tired and worn out. Victoria stared at me but thankfully, she let it go.

     "Okay," she finally said. "what are we going to do today this fine free period?"

    "I was thinking we could tease Rachel about her little crush on Zach," I said in a light but joking tone. Her face started to heat up.

    "Shut up!" Rachel exclaimed, covering her face with her hands. We all laughed and for a moment, it felt like it was a normal day. Boy was I ever wrong.

    Or maybe it's just me, I finished mentally.

    Oh just how right I was. Just not in the sense you or I would actually think..
