"Sure" you say. You can't see the title of the book so you dust it of with your hand. 'Aslatritah eleanocis' is the title of the book. You are confused. Is it a name? A language? You don't think long about it and you write down the title of the book on the list. "What is your name? You ask. "Jordan Greenway" he says. You write his name on the list. Next to his name you write down today's date. "Please return the book within a month and have a lovely day" You say before he walks of. "Thanks, you too."
The rest of the day is plain boring. Nobody else took a book home. You helped 3 people in the whole day. At 5PM you go home. You decide to watch Netflix. Just when you're about to switch your Laptop on, you smell something odd. First the smell is weak, but suddenly it is strong, and you hear something odd too. You decide to have a look, and just when you're about to stand up you recognise the smell and sound. Smoke, and FIRE. You run to the kitchen to see everything in flames. Suddenly the walls are in flames, and you can't get out. You are trapped in flames. You are scared, the flames around you are coming closer and closer to you. Your eyes start to tear, and you feel your eyes sting, watching at the flames and smoke coming near you. A part of the ceiling falls near you, giving a big cloud of dust. The dust of the ceiling and the smoke make you cough. A heavy, stinging, hurting cough. You cough again. You cough twice. Then you collapse to the ground, crouching and feeling the heat coming near you. You cry, thinking nobody can help you. You close your eyes so you don't have to see anything anymore. You hear sirens. Are they there to rescue you? But the sirens faded away. Did they pass you? Didn't they notice the smoke and fire? Then you hear talking, but people aren't scared. It is like the normal talking that you hear every day. You decide to open your eyes.
And then you wake up in your own bed.
Was it a nightmare? You check the time. 6:59 AM. Same time as always, but different dream? You see your laptop next to you, which is on standby. As you touch the mouse pad, the screen lights up and Netflix appears. You must have fallen asleep while watching Netflix. But you still don't understand the dream. Why that dream? Why the flames, smoke, and pain? Why not the other dream? You change your clothes, brush your teeth, and before you go to school, which starts today again, you check the kitchen. It is still intact. No signs of being a fire here, the ceiling didn't fall down, everything is still there. You are relieved, you smile to yourself and go to school.
You arrive at school and go to your class. Literature, great. You do want to become a writer, so you have to take this class. You sit down at your usual spot. You get your books out of your bag when you see the teacher standing in front of the class with someone. It is the boy from yesterday he is standing with. "Good morning everyone, hope you enjoyed your day of yesterday" the teacher begins. "We have a new person joining us, so please be nice to him. Do you want to introduce yourself Jordan?" Jordan starts telling about himself. "So I'm Jordan Greenway, 20 years old, and I come from New York City." So he is 20, and comes from NYC? What has he to do here in England? Jordan continues. "I came here because I didn't like how crowded the city was, and I wanted to travel anyway so I decided to come to England. I like to read and write books, meet new people, and go out with friends." The teachers signs at him that he can sit anywhere. Jordan looks around and he sees you and the empty spot next to you. He smiles, and then sits at the table next to you.
