My class fails at real life application of Dinosaur trivia

Chapter 0

Green leaves all around, a gentle breeze strokes my face as I take a good look around me. An open valley surrounded by some really tall plants and trees. It could be classified as a forest, but I am no forest scientist. What I do know, though, is that the elegant creature which stands before me is a Brontosaurus.

As I walk towards it, I realize that there are others of its kind just behind it. How could something so tall be so easily camouflaged by trees? When I finally get closer I understand just how magnificently tall the creatures are. I feel so small in comparison, nature sure is wonderful.

Just as I approach the one closest to me I hear the ground rumble. A baby Brontosaurus approaches me, it's slightly smaller than the others, but it's about as tall as an elephant. While I am still staring in awe, the creature stops and looks at me as well.
It lowers its head and I extend my arm. As my hand feels the rough scale-ish texture of its skin, I am in shock.

Dinosaurs can be petted? Happiest day of my life.

Until I hear a familiar voice that is.
I don't think it is in my head-

Wait dinosaurs can talk?

"EMBER WATERS!" A deep male voice shouted.

Huh, they also know my name?

"WAKE UP!"

With a jolted move I snap back into reality. And I am somewhat disappointed.

The first thing I notice is about a dozen of heads looking directly at me in a condescending way. The rest probably don't care enough. The professor is looking straight into my soul, his eyes full of disappointment.

"This is the second time this happens in this month, you know what that means." He says calmly this time.

I nod. I know I have to talk to the principal. I take my notebook with me, because I want to hold on to something while I am being scolded at.

On my way to the principals office I think about my dream again. That brontosaurus was pretty cute, I wish they still existed, so that I could have one as a pet. As I actively escape with my fantasy, I fail to notice my surroundings and bump into someone tall.

"Sorry " I say while my notebook slips. A page with a random dinosaur drawing on it slips out. I am too embarrassed.

"It's okay" a male voice says, while I see it's owner bending to pick my notebook from the ground. I am too embarrassed to look him in the eye, but I do it anyway since he sounds kind. I see a tall and slim guy with deep blue eyes smile cheerfully at me. As he hands the notebook back at me, he holds on to the page with the drawing though, as if he is trying to take a better look at it.

"Here, nice Spinosaurus!" he says happily as he hands me the paper back.

"Thank you!" I say. "I am surprised you could tell it's a Spinosaurus, given that my art isn't very good."

"What are you talking about, it's clear to me, though I have done my fair share of research." he winks and I feel my face get slightly red.

"I should get going, the principal is waiting for me after all" I say awkwardly. What am I even doing? A cute guy I can talk to and I try to dodge him too?

"I see" he looks a bit disappointed. "I am Skyler and by the way, you are in luck", he smiles again.

Skyler is a really cool name.
