Suddenly

Five

It was very loud. We could hear the rain fall heavily. The wind shaking the leaves around us, making it make even louder noises. It was an unpleasant situation to be in.

The shed was well... Like a normal shed. It was a brown wooden shed. There are medium sized windows on the sides. There really aren't many things in it. 2 wooden seats, an old rug, and old shelves.

Maybe this shed was once used for people trapped in a storm too?

" Come on, sit down, this storm can last pretty long, " Dylan said. He sat on one of the chairs without hesitation.

Dylan has probably been here before.

I followed him and sat on the other chair. After making sure it's clean and sturdy of course.

Dylan took out his phone and began playing with it. The shed was empty, but there was a lightbulb on top, it gave pretty good lighting to the shed.

I took my phone and began scrolling through social media. Dylan said this storm can last long, how long though?

I decided to start a conversation with him. Looking at our phones all the time is not healthy too you know.

" Is this your first time trapped here? " I asked.

Dylan looked away from his phone.

" Nah, I've been trapped here twice before, " Dylan said. He put his phone in his bag.

" You said the storm is going to last long, how long? " I asked.

" At least an hour, " Dylan replied.

I gasped. AN HOUR?! I should've not let Dylan go to the park! If I didn't, none of this would happen!

" Okay, " I mumbled. I felt devastated. I hate being locked at one place. This place has that claustrophobic feeling. I was also disappointed. Nothing Dylan chooses is good, why did I believe him?!

Suddenly, I shivered. Cold wind started coming in. It was cold. In a second, my body started trembling.

Dylan saw me trembling. He handed me his jacket.

" Here, use this, " Dylan said.

" Um, no thanks, I'm good, " I replied.

" I can see you shivering, just use the jacket, I don't want you getting a cold, " Dylan said. He actually... smiled?

" Um, okay, thanks, " I said awkwardly. I smiled back and put on his jacket. Did he really care? Or is it all fake.

" No problem, " Dylan said. He shivered.

" Dylan, you can have your jacket back, what if you get a cold? " I said. I took the jacket off and handed it to him.

" No, you can have it, I'll just quickly put on my uniform over my basketball jersey, it will make me warmer, " Dylan said.

I smiled. So sweet... Wait, what?

Dylan took his uniform and wore it over his jersey.

" Thanks Dylan, " I said shyly. It felt weird to be acting nice to Dylan.

Dylan opened his backpack and took two pieces of gum. He handed one to me.

" Here, to keep you busy, " He said.

" Thanks, " I said before popping the gum into my mouth.

I chewed on the watermelon lime gum for a few minutes before finally popping a bubble with it. It's been a long time since I ate bubble gum, I never really buy them.

Dylan and I were busy with our minds while chewing gum for the next few minutes. I was worried about the storm and Dylan was probably thinking about girls or something.

Suddenly, my vision went white. Everything looked as white as snow. I wasn't completely sure if Dylan's vision went white too, what matters is that I was completely lost. Was I dreaming?

I pinched myself and screamed inside.

Not a dream.

I felt my body feel lighter. I was lifted up and up. There was no telling of where I'm taken to. Everything is just pure white.

All of a sudden, my body reached a solid ground. Dylan also arrived next to me.

" Hey, is this real? " I asked.

" Not sure... But I think it is, " Dylan replied.

We walked through the solid ground just heading straight. We tested all the spots where we'll step on, it could be a trap.

Finally, we came across a big black door. It measured twice the height of Dylan! And the length would be thrice of a sumo's body.

We hesitated for a while and looked at each other. Could this be the right choice?

" Let's just go for it, there's no other way anyway, " I said.

Dylan nodded.

We ready our hands- and minds- and prepare to open the door.

" One, "

" Two, "

" Three, "

We pushed the big black door open. It swung open like a charm.

We took a few steps in and were greeted with a room with lots and lots of mirrors hung on the wall.

Dylan and I looked at each other with a puzzled face. That whole time we forgot about our

differences and tried to get out of this alternate universe of some sort.
