Day in a Dream

Travel to Eighth Grade

Cast

Me

Finn (my crush)

Wendy (somebody who isn't quite my friend. I act friendly towards her to keep the peace because my other friends are friends with her, including Finn)

Nala (popular girl)

I woke up, outstretching my arms. Today was going to be a good day- I could feel it! I hopped up from my bed and went to the bathroom. I put a line of toothpaste onto my toothbrush. When I spit out the goopy stuff from my mouth, I looked up into the mirror. To my astonishment, I saw myself, but from the past! It was my eighth grade self. I had short hair, not even to my shoulders. Ugghh, do I really have to relive the last year of middle school?!?!  

I finish getting ready, putting on just mascara and lipstick, like I did most days in eighth grade. May as well change it for the better, I guess. Maybe I'll be more social? Make more friends, I guess. I head to the car and drive to school. I get there and was walking in the parking lot, when suddenly, Finn approached me. He seemed to also have traveled back in time. We talked for a bit about the time traveling, then head inside the middle school. People were walking, and talking with each other inside. 

Then, Wendy and Nala passed us. They were talking about something that, honestly, I didn't care enough to pay attention to. I awkwardly smiled and nodded my head along to their nonsense. 

We head to our next class, but Finn pulls me aside. "Hey, wanna hang out?"

"Right now?" I ask.

"Yah, sure!"

I think a moment, unsure if I should skip or not. He never skips, as far as I'm concerned. "Sure? What's the occasion?"

"Let's go to the gully down the street, maybe?" I nod in agreement and head out with him to a motorcycle which, I swear, wasn't there earlier. 

We go on to his motorcycle and ride down the street to a gully. We go down and are just talking with each other. It felt more like a date, if ya ask me. 

"Hey, by the way," he begins, keeping eye contact, "will you be my girlfriend?" I smiled, and nodded. 

"Yes, of course!"
