Dreams-

"Emily Daydreaming? That's not possible! She never!" Natalie was a little surprised. "She is always an ideal student! Role model!" Natalie continued "I doubt she would be daydreaming. Em? Emily? You are awake right?"

In her dream:

"Hey Em! What's up?" Ah... I like you...

"Oh, hi! Not much, you?"

"Well, I'm talking to you, so..." Yes! You are talking to me!

"Yup, and I'm talking to you. Anyways, what's up?" He looks different... He's kinda scared.

"Eh, I don't know. The sky, sun, stars, moon, planets, things like that?" Funny, but this isn't like him to just not talk the truth. He's normally to the point... Hmm...

"Nice, but is everything okay? Most of the Time if I ask you something you just say the answer and move on."

"Well, not really but nothing interesting. I've just got nothing to do with my life ya know? Same thing every day, over and over, and nothing changes. I don't grow, learn, get better at any important skill, or anything. I'm just here to be here."

"Lucas, do you want help or need help with something?" This is the true test.

"Nah, there's nothing to help me with." WHAT?! This isn't right.

"You want me to come over and hang out later or something?" Test 2.

"If you do, okay, if not then that's good too. Up to you." He's sick. Doctor?

"Do you wanna study later? Do the projects before we have fun?"

"I guess... I really should show them to you before we turn them in." He's tired?

"Okay, I'll try this. Why does it snow in April?" Meteorology. This should do it!

"No idea. Go to Ask Cantore or something." Since when has the earth spun backwards?

"Okay... Who won the Hockey game last night?" Sports. Maybe?

"We did 3-0." No description. No analysis. Nothing. Not exactly what I meant earlier...

"Did you fail the test or something? Did you forget to study? Did you miss a cue?"

"Nope. A's on everything again. Just like normal." This kid needs his head checked.

"So, why so down? Not normal? Not right?" I'd like to know.

"I'm never normal. Different is normal for me. I'm right, left, up and down all at the same time, it hasn't made me any happier. Oh well. I'm going to sit down now." What is he THINKING? Is he out of his Mind?! Ugh. Something he hates. What does he hate? Um...

"Hey, Lucas. If I were to move, where would you want me to move to?"

"Ugh... Critical thinking. Next door so I can still see you." Alright, a little better.

"If I had a hundred dollars, where would you go spend it?"

"At the mall. I'd find something." Hmm...

"What color would you paint the ceiling in my room if I let you choose the color?"

"What colors are your walls again?" Eh, alright. A question is good. A bad one though?

"Green and Red?" I reminded him.

"Oh right! I always imagined it as this really cool sunburst color. It's almost like a yellow orange with a little bit of black in it. I'll show you when we get home." This is better.

"Cool, alright so what are you doing later?"

"The projects?" Okay, I'm closer...

"Which ones?"

"History and Science?"

"Yup, with who?" Alright, here we go...

"My partner..." ARGH!

"Which is?"

"You. Assuming you still want to come over..." YES! I did it! Goal accomplished.

"Well, yeah, I'd like to." Calm, cool, normal. "So, what did we agree to?"

"You coming over after school to do the History and Science projects." YES! Victory! :) "Oh, and by the way, it snows in April because it's still cold." Haha there we go. He's back.
