I stood in front of the class, with the packet of paper in my hand. Nervous. John was sitting in the back of the room, his eyes were on me and so was the class. "What is the name of your story?" Asked Mr. Thomas as he adjusted his glasses, "it's called... Within a dream..." My voice was shaky, God! I hate doing this. Being in front of people give me anxiety. "You may begin violet" he took a seat and grabbed a grading sheet, his eyes were locked on me.
"I woke up with the memory of my dreams, the dreams that've been slowly killing me for all these years... I don't know what to do anymore...." And as I read, throughout the story my character went through a series of events that taught her to take chances. Kind of what I did, she had the same dreams as me. The flying one, the one about Ashely, and all of them. "I realized that what I've been waiting for and what I've been dreaming of was right in front of me all along. Jackson has always been in my heart and always will... Forever" I shot John a smile and there were a couple of "aww's" from half the class. I guess this wasn't so bad after all.
By the time I reached the end, I proudly read out loud the last three lines. "Dreams are what keep us awake, whether our eyes are closed or not. Dreams have meaning, and they have feeling. At the end it does not matter what types of dreams you had or have, it's what's within the dream that counts. And as me and Jackson headed for the door, there was a surprise for us. But it brought both joy and fear to us and before you know it we were gone.... Or did we?" The everyone clapped and including Mr. Thomas. The bell rang and everyone got up, some people told me I did a good job and others were dying for more.
I after I read that I felt a weight lifted off my chest, and in a way powered. Knowing that I still have capability to express myself through. Which is writing. I handed my work and I could tell by the look on Mr. Thomas, he was impressed. "Good job violet, this will defiantly boost your grade up. By the way do plan on becoming an author?" "Maybe..." I smiled, "you should" he said. I got my things and left. John was standing by the door, "I knew you could do it" he kisses me. "Thanks John," we held hands and walked together out the building, letting the sun shine on us like angels and from there we walked home.
Thank god that's over... Thank god, and now I can relax. Think about myself and focus on being happy. Right now I just wanna be stress free.
