Realistic Dreams
Another One
Hhhhh…I woke up hastily that morning. My body was covered in sweat, my heart pounding out of my chest, the usual stuff. I thought by now I would have gotten used to these dreams. My hands started growing tired. Haha..It was my amulet. It has always been kept around my neck. It was the one my mom gave me right before she left, and it was the only thing I had of her. She died of abusive reasons. You could say my dad was not the nicest person in the world. Before I even had time to think it over like I usually did, my dormer (what my apartment room member and I call each other) called me from the kitchen.
"Tea get your little bum down here. Breakfast is getting cold!"
"HOLD YOUR HORSES! I"LL GET READY THEN COME DOWN!"
Serenity was my best friend since the 3rd grade. We've been following each other to the same school and chasing our dreams together. She was the best, and the only close and true friend I had. She knew about my problem. About the freakishly weird dreams that I had. That's why when I didn't wake up in time….she would be sweet enough to make breakfast for me. But I knew not to take her for granted. I wanted to keep this one. Before I even had time to finish my thought….
"Tea…this food is going to be thrown into the trash! And, don't you have class soon?"
"Oh damn! I completely forgot…I'm going to be so messed up!"
I put on whatever I found in the closet, and rushed out to the small living room. I grabbed the toast she made for me.
"What about your orange juice?"
"Does it look I have time to drink it! I'm going to be tardy again!" I answered as cruelly as possible.
I rushed down the steps of our apartment complex, almost tripping over myself. I ran as fast as I could to my chemistry class hoping not to be tardy, when unexpected happened. I ran into a wall.
GREAT THAT WAS THE LAST THING I NEEDED! Hold on…when was that wall put there anyway.
I just ignored it, not noticing the glowing amulet around my neck.
I opened the door, and before I even had time to give my excuse, the teacher sighed and just continued with his lesson.
"Miss Tea Gardner, next time, please make sure to set your alarm clock before you go to bed."
The class started to giggle, like a bunch of 2nd graders.
"I'll make sure to do that tonight. Thanks Mr. Branch."
I thought I got off easy. I sat down in my seat in the 4th row of the class. Wondering what was going on, I asked my seat partner as kindly as possible.
"We're going to be learning a new unit," she told me, "So he's telling us what we need to buy and stuff like that." Whispering as softly as possible hoping she wouldn't get caught.
"Thanks Suzy," also whispering as softly as possible.
Before I could think another thought, everyone in class started getting up from their seats. Not knowing what was going on, once again, I followed everybody to the back of the class. Mr. Branch started reading our classmates names out loud.
"Oh…we're getting new seats! Wonder why? Stupid, stupid, stupid me…we're starting a new unit so we have to switch seats…duh Ariel!"
" Jesse and Leslie. Michael and Stephanie. Tea and Duke."
"Excuse me...Duke! Great, not only do I get to sit next to the hottest guy in class….but the second dumbest too! There goes my 3.5 average!"
"Hey Tea."
"Hey Duke."
"So I guess we're chem. partners huh!"
"Yep, guess so!"
After sitting quietly next to Jason for a couple of minutes he asked the most uncanny question.
"What's that glowing around your neck?" he asked looking down at my chest.
"HUH?"
And as I looked down I saw what he was talking about! My amulet was glowing. How bizarre! I opened it and saw a printed message inside. Not the one my mom had written, it was a different one, and more kept appearing as I read on.
"Oh, daughter most dear, I am no longer here, I have no place, no part, no dwelling more, by sea nor shore, smell thy scent of sweet cologne, beware my dear, you aren't alone…"
My eyes were fixed upon the amulet, as I kept reading it to myself, just glaring down at the message written in it. At once I looked up, only to see Duke writing on his notebook.
"Did you just see that Duke?"
"See what?"
"My amulet. You pointed out to me that it was glowing and it was!"
"Ya it was, but as soon as you touched it, it stopped glowing. So I thought it was nothing."
"Didn't you see the message writing itself inside?"
"Uh, No. I think you lost it…do you want me to take you to the nurse?"
"Uh. That's ok. Never mind. So what are we supposed to do?"
"Oh, sorry. Mr. Branch wants us to do a family tree. It's something about heredity. And he also wants us to list any problems our family might have had. Like if someone in your family was blind or had arthritis or something like that. But he said if you don't remember then that's fine. He still wants us to trace our families back as far as possible."
"O.k. Thanks Duke. Oh great. I don't have a computer. And I don't have enough dough to buy a computer pass for our college computers. Damn!"
"Oh, hey, why don't you come over to my place tonight and you can use mine. We are chem. partners anyway aren't we?"
"Ya, thanks!"
"O.k. Here's my address, and I'll see you around 8."
"O.k. And thanks again."
He handed me a small piece of paper. On it was written 214 Victorian Villas.
Well, i hope you liked it...so please review.
