[Story in a Dream] Lady in Red

Chapter 3: The Lady In Red

“*Ring* *Ring*” The ringtone of Bart’s phone goes on.

Half asleep, Bart reached for his phone. His eyes are half open as the burn slowly entered his pupil because of the bright illumination the phone gives off. He saw Anthony’s calling ID; Bart wondered why Anthony is calling him in the middle of the night. Bart answered his phone.

“Hello? *Yawn*” Bart moaned,

“YO! It’s Anthony, up for tomorrow?” Anthony asked,

“About what exactly?” Bart replied with a question still half asleep,

“We’ll commence our so called “GROUP STUDY” where we don’t really study at all.” Anthony replied,

“Oh! That… Where are we staying this time? Please not in my house again.” Bart said,

“No! We are staying at Ken’s. He said his folks are going to a vacation so he has the house for his own. We’ll even sleep over to his house. Are you up for that?” Anthony replied,

“Yeah sure, my folks will give me permission as long as I give them a proper reason to attend a slumber party.” Bart said,

“It’s not a slumber party man! Don’t make it sound so girly, it’s a bachelor somehow group study study!” Anthony said,

“Study? Study Study study, Study studystudy study study study! STUDY!” Bart said,

“Study! Study study study study study study study! Study cat study!” Anthony said,

“Okay! I’m gonna go back to sleep, see you tomorrow then.” Bart said,

“Okay dude.” Anthony said,

Bart hung up the call and returned to his dreams. Tomorrow, Saturday which means no class, has come, Bart is done preparing for the slumber party, He goes to where their meeting was, and He saw Jay and Anthony.

“blah blah blah” Jay and Anthony having a conversation,

“Yo! Where’s Ken?” Bart asked as he approached the two,

“He is coming, hopefully.” Anthony replied,

“Man! Ken is always late whenever we meet.” Jay pointed out,

“Ha! You could say that again!” Bart agreed,

“GUYS! IM HERE! *Pant* *Pant*” Ken shouted as he runs towards the three,

When Ken reached the others, he immediately took out an inhaler to ease his asthma.

“You alright Ken?” Bart asked,

“Yeah.*Pant* I’m alright, I just need to use my inhaler, *Pant* somehow.” Ken replied

“Nice, leggo then!” Anthony exclaimed,

“YEAH!” everyone simultaneously shouted,

“Wait! I need to breathe a little. *pant*” Ken said.

The group did so many crazy stuff whole morning. They gone walking around mall to mall, they walked the streets, ate different variety of street foods. They’re enjoying their time. Sunset came and they settled down inside a convenient store in one of those big malls, eating ice cream to cool down the pain that is lingering in their thighs.

“Whew! Im so tired!” Jay whined as he licked his ice cream,

“You could say that again…” Bart agreed,

“Let’s go to Ken’s house now then?” Anthony suggested,

“Yeah! I could use a breather” Jay said,
