In a Dream

Tanya's sharp voice broke through her musings, and Suo ripped her eyes away from the sun that hung overhead and turned to face the blonde.

She grinned, pearly white teeth showing between strawberry scented lips. 'Your head's in the clouds,' she said in a teasing tone. 'Is there something I should know about?'

'Not at all,' Suo sniffed, flipping her ponytail behind her and shifting her backpack strap so it hung more comfortably on her shoulders.

'Oh, so you weren't thinking about guy then?'

'No,' Suo replied firmly, the hand curling around her camera strap being the only crack in her mask – which Tanya unfortunately picked up.

'Hah, so you are thinking about a guy.' She smirked; clearly she wasn't going to let this go.

Suo groaned, wishing like she sometimes did that a certain male friend of hers hadn't worked up the courage to ask Tanya out. She had, in the last month, lost a good deal of their verbal scrimmages because she was now lacking effective blackmail material.

'I was not.' But the protest was weak, because she had been thinking about a guy. One that looked almost exactly like her, except with a more filled form and a blanker expression…

'Hello, earth to Suo.' Tanya's hand waving in front of her face made her jump.

'What?' she half-snapped.

'You totally zoned out.' The blonde put her hands on her hips. 'Spill girl; what guy were you thinking about?'

'Well…' Suo shook her head lightly, adjusting the lens of her camera for no good reason. 'It was a weird dream I had. I think I was a guy…or the guy looked just like me.'

'Oh?' Tanya sounded rather disappointed…and no wonder. Suo's revelation was hardly gossip-worthy. 'You sure you weren't just padded up in extra layers?'

'I might've been,' Suo realised, noting it had been a Russian winter in her dream and she had been wearing quite a bit, enough to hide her form. She looked down at herself; even in the spring it was difficult to tell without the braid…and she couldn't be sure of it hadn't simply been tucked in or hidden from view… 'You're probably right; it's ridiculous, thinking I could turn into a guy.'

'Why?' Tanya teased with a grin. 'Got your eye on a girl then?'

'No,' Suo huffed. 'The only guy I have my eyes on is off limits…and the new history teacher.'

She'd thrown the last part in on a whim, but Tanya took the bait and skewered their conversation onto the new track with all she'd heard about their new history teacher and the validity of these sources. Suo looked up once more, trying to picture the dream-person in her mind, then shook her head. I was mistaken, she thought. After all, the figure had looked exactly like her. It probably was her, in which case it didn't mean very much at all.

By the time she had gotten to school, she had forgotten about the strange dream, head too full between trying to find some blackmail in the teasing shots she had taken of Tanya and Nika and the new hot-off-the-press gossip about their new history teacher.
