I really really hate my dreams. Sometimes they are so damn good that I just want to sleep and live in it forever and sometimes it is so damn effin bad that I badly need to wake myself up.
Until this one came,
I dreamt of walking down a long damn isle. Yes it was a wedding and yes I was wearing a gown but, I can't see the grooms face neither the one beside me. Even though I am sure that I know him and he is happy, there was a hole inside of me. Like I didn't even want to go here and yet I am standing before the priest smiling at us.
This is ridiculous, I don't want to get married! Well, I do but now is not the time for that and it's surely not the time to think about these right now because I am so getting late for school.
I am currently a College student at Oaklake University. Yeah I know, it sucks. But atleast I go to school right?
Wrong.
"Honey are you alright? It's already 10 am. Are you ready for school? Chad's already down stairs waiting for you" I hear my mom say behind my white wooden door.
I slouched and opened the door, revealing my not so nice mother smiling at me. "Breakfast is on the table. Now, how's your sleep?"
"How's your sleep" is our code word for "Any nightmares or dreams you want to tell?"
I don't think this is the right time to tell my mom about my dream. You see, here's the thing. My dreams are random and I just suddenly have them. I can't just tell someone about it cause I won't see the full detail of my dream. I can dream about it again tonight, if I don't tell anyone about it.
I smiled at Mom and walked out the door leaving her to close my room, "Nothing casual, same old sweet dreams" I told her as she closes my door and we walked down the stairs.
And there stood Chad, my long time suitor. He's been courting me for half a year now and I don't even know if I'm gonna say yes to him. I value our friendship more tha- okay this is shtty. I know, it's pretty generic of me to think of that.
I smiled at him and hand my bag to his already waiting arm. "You ready? Or are you gonna eat breakfast first?" He asks.
I looked at Mom as she watched us. I lead him towards the hallway to our kitchen and got myself a slice of bread and stuffed in whatever Mom cooked.
"I'll just eat this on our way"
"Are you sure sweety? You'll get hungry later."
"Yeah, this keep me alive Mom don't worry"
We bid our Goodbyes to my Mom as we went towards his car. I could've drove myself to school but, it's pretty great that he's been driving me. I've been saving money for new things that I was planning to buy. And I'm also saving myself some time, okay I am so not lazy.
"So you okay with going out to eat something for dinner tonight?" I just realized that I wasn't listening at him. Sitting in front of his car I looked at him and smiled, "Sure, If I won't get caught up on my other subjects. You know how Professor Jim can get. He's a little bossy"
He laughed sarcastically "Ha! Little? More like the boss of evil. I dont really know why he's so grumpy all the time. I heard that he has a nice family and he's the only one who's uptight" he said.
This is one of the things that I like about Chad. It is never boring when you are with him. He can give you lots and lots of topics and the both of you won't run out of it. He is so curious that one time he asked me something that I took long to answer.
"You do know that he loves tormenting me. Especially that he knows you're courting me. He is my number one fan right now, and I can feel the bloody love that he has for me" We laughed at my lame statement as he drove us to school getting lost in our exchange of words.
Chad is really nice. He is the epitome of a gentleman. He really knows how to take care of a person and himself. Chad usually hangs out with his local friends here in Shake Oaks, but now that he has me, we've been hanging out a lot. Which is why his friend's jealous of me. And when I say jealous Im talking about girls being "jealous". Well who wouldn't be? Chad is the ultimate package. Tall, handsome, kind and a real gentle man. He is a little tanned to which is mostly loved by ladies now a days. His slick back hair and chiseled jaw didn't do them justice, it's too much for the ladies to handle.
When we arrived at school a lot of people crowded on something, or someone?
We got out of the car my sling bag on Chad's shoulder and he gently guided me towards the crowd. And there it was, guess it was a someone that everyone's been crowding on.
Anthony Black stood there with all his might. Looks like he just got back from the "camp" that he went to. He was gone for a couple of years and yet he still managed to be in the same year as us. Lame. Talk about favoritism.
We walked closer and closer to him cause they were just in front the school's main door "Well well well. Rida Lockwood with her little boy toy" Anthony, my idiot of an ex, says.
I was just about to ignore him when I realized that Chad already beat me to that. "Sorry about that douche bag" I apologized. I can already feel the tension building up in him.
"He's an idiot. Leaving you and now he's coming back?" He said. His jaw was so tight that I almost can't understand what he just said. "Ohh don't mind him Chad. Let's just go."
I stopped and he turned around when he realized what I just did "You okay?" He asked as he walked closer to me.
I smiled and kissed his forehead "Calm down you beast. Our day's just getting started and you're already sulking" He laughed and held my hand. I could tell that he was blushing because the tip of his ears was visibly red.
And we continued walking.
"You ready for this?"
"I was born ready for anything Chad"
He laughed, "I don't feel good, well for your first subject atleast."
I took a peak at my schedule, huh, Physics.
I shrugged at him, "Well, It's not so bad"
He gave me the look, "okay okay, I know that it is bad cause of that idiot of a professor. I'll be fine Chad don't worry"
"Okay, You go on ahead and I'll go to whatever I have here" he said waving his schedule in the air. I giggled and watched as he gave me a wink walking backwards and went ahead.
I heaved a deep breath and opened the door.
"Ms. Lockwood, what a pleasant suprise" A voice says behind me. And I know that damn voice so well.
I turned around, "What do you want Anthony?"
"Nothing, just the usual. I'll leave you out of the mess. Just stop messing around with that airhead"
I frowned as he bad mouthed Chad, "Is that Jealousy I'm hearing?" I laughed and opened the door.
Not minding what he said, I just went towards my seat and saw that Professor Idiot is not here yet. Just my luck.
"You do know that I'm being serious right now lockwood"
"Oh come on Anthony, stop with the formality. As if we don't have a past, you can call me Rida." He just stared at me and sat at the vacant seat beside me.
Oh great, I think luck is really with me today.
"Stop tormenting me Anthony, get lost" I said and roll my eyes.
He just chucked his bag underneath the table and opened his book. He began reading as if I didn't tell him anything at all. He can be a btch sometimes, but not this much.
Somethings up.
"Now now Rida, don't give me that look"
"What look?"
"The "get back with me please" look" I exhaled and just let him read his book.
Fckn dick.
I opened my bag and got my pen and book ready as we waited for Professor Jim. He's actually 15 minutes late already, which is a shocker because Professor Jim is known to be a perfectly perfect teacher of this school.
Minutes passed by and Professor Jim decided to show up. He has a black eye that wasn't there when we saw him.
I am so not ready for today. Something is not right, and it's getting on my nerves.
"You might want to check on Professor Jim if you're really concerned with that suitor of yours" Anthony says after a lot of time being quiet.
I ignored him.
"You are totally gonna regret choosing him" he tells me.
"But not as much as I regretted choosing you" I told him and leaned back my seat.
"Touche"
"Sorry for the delay class. I won't be teaching you anything today. I'll just give you some topics to review for our next meeting. I can't explain what's happening right now but it might be the whole dah that you'll be experiencing this. To make it short, our chairman just decided to have a heart attack because of some news that he heard" he went on and on about what happened. I just don't really care about that right now.
I just want to go home already. I am not feeling well. I can feel that something bad is gonna happen.
The bell rang and students went out of the room. Professor Jim can't even look at me in the eyes. What's wrong with him? Usually he gives me harsh remarks. I think it's because his favorite nephew is my suitor.
He was about to head outside but me being so noisy just can't help the feeling of wanting to know what's about to go wrong today.
"Professor? Have you seen Chad?" It told him as I got closer.
"C-chad? N-no, not. I haven't seen him" he said and he stormed out of the room.
What just happened? Now I'm getting more curious.
"You might not want to know" The sht head behind me says.
"Shut up Anthony"
"Well, you might want to ask the right person to know what just happened" he says.
I frowned at him and he walked out the door.
What's with everyone and leaving me unknown to what's happening. I'm getting even more frustrated.
