I laid down on my bed as I tried to get some sleep but I couldn't. Thinking back the incident back in ruins was really scary, I am lucky to be alive even after I encountered a horde of snakes.
Thinking about that, I become more sleepless.
Still, I am alive and I should be thankful for that. Anyway if I don't fell asleep soon, I would be sleepy in the classroom tomorrow! And what would Calista think if, I doze off between lectures? That would really be embarrassing.
Let's see, I will use that trick to fall asleep.
Sheep 1, sheep 2, sheep 3, sheep 4, sheep 5, sheep 6, ........ Sheep 449, Sheep 450!
AAAAAHHH! It's not working at all!
I am not able to sleep at all.
I opened my eyes and gave up on sleeping. I checked the time, it was 2:32 am. I just started to glance at my room.
My room looked like a typical boy's room in the movies and comics.
With a poster of an F1 race car, some guys with a sword, etc posters, and stickers on the wall.
By the way, I am not in the least interested in that stuff. This all stuff were posted by Dylan and the others, against my will.
My squad fam once crashed in my house for our annual meet up. I had to pee, so I left my room like for a minute or two. When I returned my whole simple peaceful looking room now, looked like photo studio with random half naked muscly dudes and cars and what not!
I was really pissed off, at that time. I even tried to forcefully remove the posters but it was glued tightly on the wall. When I removed one of the posters, it left stains of paper that won't come off and left marks on the wall. It was too late now and then I gave up on tearing down the other posters. It was much better to let them be rather then the stains of paper remaining on the wall after pulling it down. Thinking about that, again made me more depressed.
Then I peeked at the window as I continued to lay down on my bed. I saw the beautiful stars, that lit the whole dark sky.
I wonder if Calista also would be seeing the stars like me, right about now!? (Calista was sleeping at that moment! It's freaking almost 3am!)
Then I started to align the stars with imaginary lines to draw Calista's face in my brain. I tried to remake the same scene that got clicked in my heart, today at the riverside.
Before I knew it, I fell asleep. I started to dream about myself and Miss Calista.
We were both running near the river bank. Calista was running in front of me and I was chasing from behind. So romantic like the movies!
(Please don't try to do this. You could be labled as a pervert.)
It was pretty fun! I would like this dream to go on!
But all of a sudden, the whole dimension changed, and become dark and gloomy. Calista disappeared from the scene and vanished in the dark. Suddenly my dream had turned into a nightmare!
I was running in this empty gloomy dimension, as I tried to find an exit. I ran and ran but everywhere it looked the same.
Then all of sudden,
"You there!", said, someone. I don't recognize the voice.
When I turned back, I saw a little girl. She had white long hair and grey eyes. She wore nightdress, with T-shirt and pajamas but it seemed strange. The T-shirt had an engraving of a human skull in which a snake that slithered out from the skull's eye.
I don't think any parents want their children wearing such stuff in their nightwear.
This is a dream so, whatever!
"Hey little girl, are you lost?", I asked her.
But the little girl did not respond just stared. Somehow the girl's body was glowing, not brightly but dull enough to see.
I reached my hand to her and patted her. She looked like about nine years old. At least much cuter than my little sister, Lydia. Hope she won't get scared in this dark gloomy place.
"Let's find a way out!", I said to her. I know this is a dream, but I still wanted to help that little girl.
"DON'T TOUCH ME!", she screamed! The whole dimension reverberated as well.
"Jesus!!!", I exclaimed and I backed off.
I take back everything! This is no little girl, she screamed like a train's honk. This is literally a nightmare.
"S-sss- Sorry about that!", I apologized to her.
Wait why am I apologizing to some shitty little brat in my own dream!?
Her expression than changed. She looked very pissed,
"You shall pay for your insolence behavior, boy! You think we are mere folklores and nonsense and the people that believed in us are just mere fools." , she then had a grin same like the evil villains in the movies, "I will make you eat your words, back!"
She's mad girl!
Just because I patted her head and offered her help!? What the heck is wrong with this generation kids! (He also belongs to the same generation by the way)
She has the same personality problem like Rihanna!
Then the dimension started to disintegrate along with the girl.
I woke up!
It was just a nightmare! That was really creepy! The world has changed a lot, I tried to help this little girl and she turns out to be like my little sister, ungrateful little twerp.
After I was having so much fun with Calista in my dream as I chased her down the riverbanks! So romantic!
(It looked more of a crime, like a rapist hunting another victim)
The sun was up, as its light hit in my eye. My eyes were still soggy from waking up. Then I checked my alarm.
"SHIT!!", I exclaimed.
It was almost past 7:20 am!
For some reason, neither Lydia or my mom came to wake me up. My room's on the 1st floor, and opposite my room is Lydia's. So she usually comes to wake me up, but sometimes she has club meetings so she has to go early to school. But then again, mom never failed me to wake up, even if it means to pour a bucket of water.
I quickly woke up, and started to brush my teeth, and started to wear my uniform, multitasking! It took about 5 minutes to properly groom myself. Of course, I would want to look at my best in front of Calista!
Then I dashed down the stairs, in hurry.
"MOM! Why didn't you wake me up!" I yelled.
I started to wear my shoes and tie my laces.
My mom came out of the kitchen.
"Excuse me, but who might you be?", she asked.
"Come on! I said sorry already for messing the hallway! Could you please spit your anger already! Why didn't you wake me up, mom?", I asked.
"I don't know what you are talking about. But could you stop calling me, mom! If you are a friend of Lydia then she already went to school!", she replied back.
"That little runt! She could have woken me up!", I said angrily.
"Excuse me! Please refrain from mocking my daughter in front of her own mother, will you? And leave my home at once, it's rude to intrude in other peoples home without permission.", she said with a serious tone.
"Seriously! Drop the farce, okay! I am going now! Bye-bye", I said as I dashed out for school.
Professor dog face would really chew me today!
(Actual name professor Hubbard, but because of his aging and wrinkles on his face. He looked like a pit bull, hence the name!)
I sprinted my way to the school. Usually, I would see many students headed to the school but there was not a single student other than me. I was almost minutes late, from school's first lecture bell.
Well, I guess when heading home, I shall grab those almond cookies that mom loves. Still, she wouldn't have to go so far by calling me, stranger. But back there, my mom really did a good acting! She could have been an actress, she really nailed it.
