Their hands were touching, grasping each other. Yet they didn't.

Their bodies were so close to one another. Yet they weren't.

They were both floating in the darkened water.

Wherever her hands moved, so did his as if they didn't want to be separated.

And she mouthed the two words that now he's able to interpret. 'Save me…'

The next thing he knew, he was lying full awake on his comfortable bed, staring straight at the low ceiling above, listening to the continuously ticking sounds of the alarm clock located on the bedside table.

Bringing up his hand, he rubbed his tired eyes with the knuckles. "Not again," he muttered wearily.

"You're having that dream again?" Said the brown-haired teen as he and his friends were staying in line and deciding whether to get just pizza or regular lunch. A decision that needed to be reexamined everytime they went to the cafeteria during classes break.

"Ah, and it gets clearer each time," replied Lelouch.

"Let's get pizza and sit down. I'm tired," chimed in Kallen.

"You fell asleep during history. Are you Ok?" Asked Shirley worriedly.

"Blame the teachers. I had to stay up till after midnight to get all the research papers done, and not just one, several of them are due on the same day." The red head couldn't help heaving a small sigh. "I miss high school days."

"I know right? I'm flunking physics now; I regretted that I even took that class."

Typical girls' conversation, thought Lelouch as he shook his head, smiling slightly.

"Ok, we're getting pizza then," concluded Suzaku. He then turned his attention to his best friend, "so about this dream, tell me more about it. It seems quite intriguing if you ask me."

"Well, it's just like what I told you before. But this time, the images seemed more vivid and…" Heartfelt, as though I could actually feel her emotions. That last thought stayed in his head, however, afraid to come out, lest he be called crazy.

"And?" Suzaku prompted.

"And… it scares me," a partial truth.

"We're talking about your dream again?" Kallen queried when her conversation with Shirley came to an end.

"Don't you think you need to see the therapist about this?" Said the orange-haired girl concernedly. "I mean dreams are usually significant, they could foretell you something important in the future."

Lelouch shook his head. "I doubt it. I have never seen this girl before in my life. How could it affect me if I had no idea who she was?"

"Good point," nodded Suzaku deliberately. "But Shirley was right, you need to talk to an adult about this. Someone who can actually help you out, not a bunch of clueless teenagers." He laughed. Apparently, he was referring to this particular gang.

"I don't think we should make a big deal out of this," Lelouch said hesitantly, "the upcoming exams probably got the best of me and it's making me dream up weird stuff."

Suddenly, a hand was placed gently on his shoulder, causing him to turn around and found it was Shirley. "Lelouch," she said, "promise me that if this gets worse, you will go see an adult. Promise me that." It wasn't a request but an order.

Lelouch could not resist that, he therefore nodded. "Fine, I will."

A/N: I know I have to finish my other story that I started decades ago but this idea is soo irresistible that I just had to write it down... And I'm fully aware that I made this particular excuse for all of my stories so far, but I really need something fresh right now, something to distract myself from the writer's block on that story and the tedious, hard studies I've been doing :S

Ok, enough of my rantings. Hope you guys liked the first chapter even though it's pretty short lol.

Thanks for reading! Reviews are always appreciated!
