He was clad in a white fluffy robe, matching mine, his hair messy, as if he just woke up. I couldn't help but notice how good he looked with bedhead hair, and in a robe.
The lady was long gone now, the cart now inside my room. I stood at the doorway, glaring at his figure as he smirked at me.
"You don't have to fall for me twice, babe. Once is enough" he said, a boyish grin playing in his lips, lean muscular arms folded as he leaned on the wall opposite mine.
"Who said I was falling for you?" I sneered, narrowing my eyes into slits, and shooting him a look disgust.
"Don't be mad, I know you can't handle my presence without tripping and falling like an idiot" he cooed, a mocking smile on his gremlin looking face (*cough* lies *cough*), eyes glistening.

I could speak and be as brave as I wanted to.
"Yeah, I am," I said. "What are you gonna do about it?" He paused as his eyes looked between the two of mine. Then, he smirked and swiftly closed the gap between our lips.

In a small town in New York, Hazel is your average quiet type. In a school full of clichés, she falls perfectly under the category of "nerd" and has her own little nerdy group of people she loves to hang around. They respect the fact that she's non-verbal.
The thing that plagued her, surprisingly, is not her inability and refusal to speak, but her ability to go through anybody and everybody's dreams. This is not something she can control, nor something that's necessarily dangerous. It just happens. One second she's in darkness, the next second she happens to be in someone's dream.
But, when she stumbles into a dream of a guy she never knew existed in her grade of 500 students, albeit his popular status, both her worlds get flipped upside down.
