Arianna Lloyd yawned as she crawled into her bed. What a day, she thought. She tucked herself in, and closed her dark brown eyes. She was swept away into a flurry of dreams. Arianna dreamed she was at the theme park, riding Twister, her favorite ride. She twisted and turned, the wind blowing in her hair. At the end of the ride, she saw her friend, Nelson, from school. Arianna waved to him. "Hi, Nelson!" she called. He waved back, then walked on. She also saw Melanie, Hope, and Brittany. Bzzzzzzzzzz. Bzzzzzzzzzz. What is that noise? Arianna thought. She woke up, only to find that the noise was her alarm clock. It was 7:00. Time to get ready for school. Arianna brushed her teeth, pulled on her I Heart NY shirt, put on her jeans, and ate breakfast. She grabbed her backpack, and walked out to the school bus stop. The bus pulled up on the corner of her street. She climbed into it. She dropped her backpack on someone's toe. It was Melanie. Oops. "Sorry, Melanie," Arianna apologized. "It's okay," Melanie said. "Hurry up!" the bus driver, Ms. Lombard, rushed. Arianna picked up her history textbook and sat in a seat across from Melanie. Vroom, vroom. Ms. Lombard started the yellow bus. "You were in my dream last night, Melanie,"Arianna told her. "That's funny. You were in mine, too. Where were you?" Melanie asked. "I was at the theme park." "Me too." "What ride were you in front of?" Arianna asked, a puzzled expression on her face. Did we have the same dream? she wondered. "Twister,"Melanie replied. "That's the one I was just getting off of when I saw you, Hope, Brittany, and Nelson," Arianna said. Screech. The bus came to a stop.
