The Dream

Chapter 7

Alexis' POV
It was lunch break and there I was sitting alone in the cafeteria. I knew better than to sit alone knowing that this stranger I only met once...Aaron...was obviously going to show up.
But I really felt like talking to him. I had to!
So the only plan I had was to sit alone in the cafeteria for lunch. I mean that's how he showed up last time right?
So there I was sitting and voila!
Here comes Aaron as if he read my mind and sits next to me.

"Hi there. How are you?"

"Well hello! I'm doing fine! It's nice to see you again Aaron. What brings you here? "

"I thought maybe you would want company since I remember you telling me that you like to have company for lunch and I saw u all alone here. So..err..here I am!"

"Wow! You seem to remember quite a lot! Well then what's been going on? You all geared up for Christmas?" I asked him. Not knowing when my queue was to tell him about this crazy dream I kept having and that his voice was all I could think about.

"Christmas? Well yes I am! What about you?"

"Oh boy! Me too! It's my favourite time of the year. I mean who's isn't it....uhm..So hey listen there's this thing that I wanted to talk to you about."
Wow. I was going to talk to this complete stranger about dreams I've been having from so many days. I mean how weird can this get?

"Well alright! We have time I suppose. So what is it Alexis?"

"Well actually it's more like this joke.
I kinda have uhm dreams..well you might want to call it nightmares and the things with these dreams are that I somehow always...."

"Hear a voice? That you can't place? Don't tell me you hear a voice?"
Aaron threw me completely off guard. What started out as a complete joke somehow made Aaron go pretty serious. How did he know anyway? Is he some psychic to know what happened in my dreams?

"Err..well actually yes. It is a voice. But how did u..?.....
Hey! Where are you going?"
Aaron suddenly got up and walked away briskly.
Now why did he do that? Did I say something wrong?

I tried running behind him and stopping him but I couldn't seem to catch up because before I knew what was happening he disappeared into the crowd.

Well that was a complete disappointment. I'm just going to have to find him somewhere and apologize. Maybe I did say something wrong!
I silently thought to myself.
Wow...now I wasn't going to get any sleep tonight. The most biggest question came into my mind.
How did Aaron know?
