Chapter 2 - Chapter 1: Dream? or Reality?

A man about 18 years old slowly opened his eyes and saw a familiar ceiling yet unfamiliar. As usual he will get up in his bed and go to the bathroom to wash his face and brush his teeth. He is still sleepy and forget to even look in the mirror but when he did he got shocked that his face is different from what he know. His name is Greg and his looks are average.

"What the actual f*** is going on" After Greg said that his head got an ache and he became fuzzy as new informations or memories surfaced to him.

"So this is how it is huh. I am in my dream but how come I can freely move and this feels too real and even the pain!" As Greg is curious about his dream a loud noise of a girl called out his name.

"Hey Greg, we are going to be late at school if you take a little longer!" the voice of a girl shout to him outside his house as if she is troubled of being late.

"Okay, I'm coming now!" Greg hurriedly packed his things and get his bag for his school and opened the door when he was shocked to see a sight of his beautiful childhood friend called Lane.

'Oh, if my real life have a beautiful childhood friend like her.' Greg sighed.

They walked together to this unfamilar school when he is greeted by the guys in his memories that he can actually say to be his friends as they greeted each other a goodmorning.

The teacher came by and the class started.

Greg is seated near the window at the back as he is paying attention to the outside to see the scenery. He just felt a sudden itch to his head and saw that his teacher was calling to him and throw the chalk to him.

Greg was startled and everyone in the class laughed at him.

.....

Break time comes as the bell rang throughout the school.

Greg was walking through the hallway when his head is feeling itchy again but then a sudden headache came along with it.

New memories different from this dream is flowing.

He saw a hand that seems to be his hand punching a middle-aged man totally wasting him and was about to stop.

He saw Dragons flying through the sky as the blazing fire hits the ground like a meteorite.

He saw the stars condensing into one and blows up throughout the empty dark space scattering around the void.

He saw a girl with a blury face that is saying something to him as they hold hands. Butterflies flying near them as pieces of flowers scatter through the sky, grass dancing as the wind blows.

He saw dozens of memories flowing into him and it feels like his head was about to burst out.

"Arghhhhh!!!" Greg shouts as he cries holding his head as he passed out.

.....

Greg slowly opened his eyes blinking and wondering as what happened to him. It feels like new information came to him but he didn't know what it was. It was like a fragment of a jigsaw puzzle but with only having a single piece. it was not like a single jigsaw but many jigsaw puzzles that he need to solve.

He slowly sits in the bed as he wonders about this pieces he received inside his head.

Thinking about it makes his head ache more.

"Ahem!" Greg heards some someone coughs beside him.

He tilt his head left as he saw a woman wearing a white cloth.

'She seems to be the nurse in school. What was her name again?' Greg thought.

"Here! Take this to lower the pain of your head ache." the nurse gave him a pill of pain reliever.

"Thank you!" Greg thanked the nurse.

"Just please be more careful next time." The nurse said as if she cares about Greg like an older sister and pat his head lightly.

"Okay!" Greg said then put the pill into his mouth and drink a glass of water.

'Wait, something is wrong here! I passed out in a dream with this extreme pain but why I have not woken up! This is strange. Did I reincarnate into this body? But reincarnation is not real! And did I die!?" Greg was puzzled as he thinks he is still dreaming about this guy with the same name.

Well, reality really is something unpredictable as Greg is still wondering about his past life or is it?
