It was the start of summer vacation and the sky was clear with only 2 small thin clouds off in the distance, I was laying with my back on the grass in the yard enjoying the hot summer's rays like a lion enjoys eating the bark off of a burning tree
"I hate the heat, why does the sun have to be so damn hot?"
"Vale you're the only one I know who can wear shorts and a t-shirt in a blizzard and be comfortable, like seriously it's only eighty degrees out, you can at least deal with it until the repairman can fix the AC unit"
"well. yeah you have a point but still how can anybody deal with all this heat without their own fridge to nap in?"
"Well my best guess would be because their natural body temperature is lower than yours V so they don't need a personalized napping fridge"
"Yeah that makes sense I guess... soo when is the guy gonna get here?"
"He should be here soon"
"Neet"
the repairman arrived just a short while after and fixed the AC unit in less than half an hour.
I wonder what will be for dinner tonight? It smells like pasta so maybe spaghetti? oh well what ever it is I'm sure it'll be delicious
"Hey V! Supper's ready!"
"Kay I'm on my way!"
while leaving the comfort of my air conditioned room I stubbed my toe on my desk and silently screamed in my head.
"Hayoo what's cookin?"
"Just some angel hair spaghetti for your birthday" grandma said
"Happy birthday" they both said in unison
"Oh yeah that's what I was forgetting"
"How do you manage to forget your own birthday every year?" grandpa asked with an amused tone
"I didn't forget it the year before last year"
"Yeah you did and this is the same conversation we had that time. I swear you're more senile than me"
"hah well yeah that does sound like something I would do"
"Anyway it's time to dig in" grandma interrupted
"make sure to save room for cake!"
"we will!" grandpa and I said together as if practiced
Once we were all done with our supper we cleaned our plates then put them away.
"So how's work going V? are you gonna quit the job at the resturant soon?" grandma asked with curiosity
"it's going good nothing to difficult has happend and yeah I do plan on quitting it for the offer I received a few weeks ago"
"you know you're really lucky that you were offered that job since you weren't eighteen at the time"
"Yeah no kidding, I'm pretty sure if I was any less persistent they would've just ignored me instead of listening. But when I showed them I could be a skilled worker and a valuable asset to their company they were happy to save an opening untill I had turned eighteen. so I'm going to head over there tomorrow to let them know I am officially eighteen"
later that night I had a strange dream that a girl was calling out to me for help and there was something very dangerous attacking her but before anything else could happend I woke up.
"Man why do all the interesting dreams have to stop at the fun parts?"
"V! Hey Vee!"
"Yeah!"
"Breakfast is ready"
"Kay I'm coming down"
as soon as I opened my door a wave of heat hit me and left me stunned
"Oh my dear Lord! WHY IS SUMMER SO DAMN HOT!?"
"It's because you're a psychopath V"
"ha ha grandpa you're the one who organizes your socks by left and right even though it doesn't matter!"
"it does too matter, that way I know which one to grab when I'm in a rush"
"Uhg. grandpa?"
"Yeah?"
"What's for Breakfast?"
"spaghetti"
"what?"
"Haha gotcha. were actually having bacon, eggs, and fruit salad"
"You're insane you know that?"
"There is a difference between insane and senile you know"
A half hour passes by and I go to Mr. Daniels about the job offer and we worked out a schedule that would work out for my senior year as well as the rest of summer whilst still allowing some room for my own leisure. Then I was off to give my current boss my two week notice then finally go back home and play some games in my air conditioned room and fall asleep.
"Hello there boy"
"Uh hi?"
is this a dream?
"what is your name?"
"My name is vale"
This is definitely a dream
"and what might your name be?"
"My name is of no importance at the moment"
"Well if that is so then why is knowing my name so important?"
"silence!"
man what is this guys problem? maybe I should try to have some fun with this.
"so where am I right now? and do you mind if I call you Bob?"
"you are somewhere far away from your home and don't try to guess my name"
why must he give such vague answers?
"Okay Mr. Bob why am I here?"
"Well to be honest I'm just bored and need something do watch"
"so you kidnapped me, won't tell me your name, brought me to Neverland, to just watch me? that's way more than a little creepy"
"No. I. Well. Yeah, but I'm not just gonna watch you be normal I'm going to make things interesting"
news flash this is already the weirdest dream I've had in two years since the edible mountain shoe dream.
"Well it's working great so far. All you've done is show me how good at kidnapping you are"
"Oh shut it you'll see what I'm talking about soon. What kind of creatures do you like?"
"Well I love mythical creatures but i also like cats. They're cute. And soft"
"Are there any specific requests before I send you back?"
"Yeah. surprise me"
"I assure you, you will be surprised. Now I must go I have alot of work to do. ta ta"
And I woke up the way one does when they think that they are falling in bed.
huh well that was the most vivid dream I've had and I feel like I've hardly slept at all. What time is it? glancing at my alarm I see the I've only been asleep for half an hour.
"Welp that explains why I feel like I've hardly slept" and I turned around pulled up the blankets and fell asleep, after turning a few more times to get comfortable.
It's been two weeks since that dream, Well I guess it's not common for dreams dreams to come true so I should probably just forget it, but still remember it so that I can tell people for a good chuckle out of them.
"Hey V do you have all your stuff?
"Huh? Oh yeah, yeah I believe I've got my stuff"
"Are you sure you're ready for this?" grandma said with the fake happy voice she has when she wants to sound tough.
"Grandma my question would be are you ready for this? A house without me? it's gonna be so quiet and hot. I'm just joking. mostly. but yeah I'm going to be just fine, if there is anything you need help with just give me a call and I'll help wherever I can?"
"Thank you dear, I will, and the same goes for you if you need help don't hesitate to call"
"Okay gamma I weill" I said in my goofy childlike voice
"call us when you get settled into your apartment"
"Okay grandpa, now try to not get into to much trouble while I'm gone okay"
"I won't, and you better not go into debt with how much you use your A.C. unit"
"Ha I'll try not to. bye grandma by grandpa. I'll see ya round"
"byyee" they said in unison
And I was off into the cruel world that is life, to start my life as an official adult.
