DREAMS

This is somewhat of a dream I had last week, it was kind of strange yet somewhat sweet being a dream. I wasn't in the dream but instead I was in third person view, being the spectator. I did know who the people were in my dream but I decided to just give a name to each person. Enjoy my dream story!

Scene One: Karen and Matt

HIS View:

I hurriedly rushed preparing to school right away since it was the first day of college class for me. Being able to go to in a renowned school of the region was one thing, but being one of top-notchers of the exam was a great thing. I was very blessed to go that school but now I have to pray that I won't get late for the first day of school. I decided to ride a taxi so I can get there fast. I looked at my watch it was already 7:30. The thing I dreaded was true, I was indeed late. I got off the taxi as it stopped near the school. I ran as fast as I can to my assigned building.

I was now glad that I can now see my building up ahead. I then looked at other rooms and noticed that the corridors were empty, meaning it classes had began. I hurriedly ran the stairs and ran again towards my room but while I was running, I did not notice a person in front of the door. I tried to stop but it was too late. I ran into that person, and we both fell on the floor and the class inside laughed. I was stupid enough to run down the hall and to bump to this person, to her I should say.

"Oh my gosh, I'm really sorry! Are you alright?" I was trying to apologize to her and help her get up at the same time. I then tried to gather the books she was carrying that had scattered on the floor. I was very stupid indeed to run head-on into a girl. I just now hope she won't get mad at me for hitting her.

Instead I was kind of surprised at her response afterward...

HER View:

I awoke to a beautiful and quite nice day. I was happy since it was the first day of school. I was really excited. I got off from bed and took my bath. I then prepared my things, ate breakfast and headed for school. Luck was not on my side today for traffic came early.

When i got to the campus, I looked at my watch and realize I was beginning to be late. I then proceeded to my building and try to find my room. I went upstairs and saw that my room was in the far end of the corridor. It was an empty hallway since classes now began. At last I was now on the door of my room when...

I noticed footsteps running towards me, but just when I was about to look, the person had hit me. We both fell to the floor and I then heard the people inside laughing at us. I was about to get angry at him for colliding with me but if then heard him apologize and help me get up. It was also nice of him to get my things that had scattered.

I didn't want to humiliate him in front of the class and since he helped me, it lowered my temper a bit.

"It's okay, I'm fine." glancing a smile at him.

We both then looked at one another and then shyly went inside the room and find a chair to sit upon. I realized we both had been late and that everyone was already here and that the remaining two chairs were side by side. We then took a seat and I composed myself of what happened. My arm kind of hurts though after the impact. I decided to stretch my arm a bit to relieve the pain.

HIS View:

I was expecting a tantrum from her since it really was my fault. But instead she gave me a smile and told me that she was okay. I was relieved that I did not land into more trouble. I looked into her eyes for a quick moment and then e both entered the room. I noticed that the only vacant seats were at the back, and that they were side by side. I then realized that she too was late. We headed at the back and sat at our respective seats. I then wiped away my perspiration and fixed my uniform. I then decided to glance on her and check if she was okay.

When I looked at her side, I noticed that she was stretching her arm and the look on her was made her uneasy. I then leaned over to her and asked if her arm had been hurt. I then checked her left arm and touched it and asked her if it hurted really bad.

"Does this hurt?" pressing gently on her elbow.

"A little bit, but I guess I can handle it." she replied back.

"I'm really sorry for bumping in to you a while ago; I guess I should never have run into you like that. Please don't get mad at me."

"Umm..I'm not mad at you. I know it was an accident, you didn't see me at the door. I guess it was my fault too because I stayed at the door too long, If I just headed inside directly, this would never had happened."

"Don't blame yourself for that. What matters is that you didn't get hurt seriously." While saying that, I gave her a friendly smile making her at least feel better.

"Thanks. I'll recover." She said that with a smile too.

"By the way my name is Matthew Rivera, you can call me Matt for short."

"Umm..I'm Karen Marie Mendez."

"Nice to meet you Karen." giving her a big smile.

"Nice to meet you too Matt." she answered back with a smile of her own too.

"Let me treat you out to lunch, it's the best thing I can do after I bumped into you afterall. Is it okay with you?..well..um...if not..well...I guess I can understand."

"Ohh..sure..ok..Thanks I guess."

"No, I'm the one who is supposed to thank you since you agreed.", I willingly explained to her.

"Oh..hehehe..I guess your welcome."

HER view:

I was really flattered since Matt had asked me out to lunch since it was his way of being sorry to me. I was a bit shy at him at first since we hardly knew each other. But by how he presents himself at me makes me comfortable with him. By noon we got out of the class together and that he told me where he was going to take to lunch. I thought that he would treat me at the cafeteria of the school since we were walking in that direction, but I later found out where we would go...

"Oh..we're not going to the cafeteria?" asking him after we had passed the cafeteria.

"No, I owe you big time since not only did I bumped into you but I kind of hurt your arm as well, so I decided to make this peace arrangement a better place to eat. How does the Starfall Supreme sound to you?"

I was shocked to hear this and just blurted out, "Huh? Umm..What?! Are you sure? But that's a five star hotel restaurant."

He just smiled at me and said, "A five star treatment to a five star mistake. It's okay with me, don't worry about it."

"Ohh..thanks" was all I can say to him.

We then went inside and ordered the foods. We then talked about different topics we could think of. I also got to know Matt. I had a good time with him and that was great since he was happy for I was happy too. By the time our meal was finished we were laughing at jokes and sharing stories to one another. For some reason, I was comfortable with him now. I thanked him for the treat he given to me and that we was welcomed.

We then headed back to school for our afternoon class and together we headed back to our seats. During class though we were quiet since we were paying attention to our professor. But by class break, we would talk to each other and tell jokes again at the back.

By the time class was dismissed I decided to thank Matt for a really wondeful first day of class.

"Ummm...Matt?"

He quickly glanced at me puzzled, "Yeah? Something bothering you?"

"Oh no, I just wanna say thank you for what you did at lunch."

"Oh. But you don't have to thank me for it should be me thanking you, Thanks for agreeing to go out to lunch."

"...Your ummm...Welcome..." was all I can say, I was really speechless.

"Let me walk you to the gate"

"Sure"

By the time we were at the gate I looked at him, smiled and said "Thank you for bumping into me"

He then chuckled, "Hehehe..Your umm...welcome".

HIS/HER VIEW:

We then said our goodbyes to one another. I was glad we had a chance to talk and share things to each other. It was then that I had met a friend, a person whom you literally can bump into you. I was glad to know that this was just the beginning, afterall, we still have a whole year to go...

More to come...
