Chapter 5:Dreams
I was running through hallways. Darting left, right, left, left. When all of a sudden, I saw came to a 5-way fork. I decided to go the second one on the right. I kept running when I noticed I had someone following me. So I turned around and saw the face of...
BAM! I woke up. I was getting real nervous because I didn't know where I was. I looked up and saw someone, a nurse maybe, run out of the room. I was wondering who he or she was when I remembered. I was in the battle of Parkside when something happened. I felt a great deal of pain in my back. So I looked in the mirror and I thought everything was all right when I looked closer at those stitches and saw they were paper clips buried deep in my back.
"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" I screamed. "I have paper clips in my BACK!"
Then I remembered what happened to me in the battle of Parkside. I remembered how I dodged the bus but not the line of fire. I looked closer at the cuts in my back and realized that was the mark left after the wound. Well anyways since I cried out the nurses came and checked on me. I said I was fine but they gave me some shot even though I insisted them not to. It was then when I asked,
"Where's my sword? Hey wait, how long have I been knocked out? Where's Jarret? How long am I going to be here?"
The nurses calmly replied, "In your room, 1 day, he's on a mission, and um...20 to 35 days."
When I heard I was going to be in here for 20 to 35 days I told them to get my iPod. But in half a minute, I was asleep again.
I was running through hallways. Darting left, right, left, left. When all of a sudden, I saw came to a 5-way fork. I decided to go the second one on the right. I kept running when I noticed I had someone following me. So I turned around and saw the face of someone I knew. I knew I had seen him before but I couldn't remember where. I had almost remembered who he was when all of a sudden...
BAM! I woke up again. In my entire life I had never had the same dream twice. But I had seen the future in my dreams. Like once, I had a dream my friend fell The next day, my friend fell and broke his leg. Well anyways, I saw the nurse run out but this time I yelled,
"STOP! Please! Who ever you are please come back here!"
But the nurse still didn't come back. Well anyways an Austin O'Riely, my friend, came in and said,
"Sir, a group of Chiddix troops were found in the mall and so a task force took them down and while in the mall they found millions of gum balls. They brought them back here and we have made the gum ball gun. Here it is."
I grabbed the gun the and inspected it. It looked like it could do some damage. Austin then said,
"Ok that sounds great. But um Austin, did you see someone run out of here when you came in?"
"Oh ya." He said. "Lauren ran out."
With that he walked out. I thought for a moment. Lauren. Hmmm...
I was running through hallways. Darting left, right, left, left. When all of a sudden, I saw came to a 5-way fork. I decided to go the second one on the right. I kept running when I noticed I had someone following me. So I turned around and saw the face of someone I knew. I knew I had seen him before but I couldn't remember where. I had almost remembered who he was when all of a sudden I remembered who he was. He was my old friend Steve Lewder. Then...
BAM! I woke up again. This time I looked straight at the foot of my bed and saw Lauren.
"Wait." I said.
"What?" she said.
"What are you doing here?" I asked.
"Well, I'm your nurse." she replied.
"Oh." I said stupidly. "Well, why do you always run out when I wake up?"
"Oh." she said as she blushed. "Well, I have to go to um...room... room...um...179 bye!"
"That was strange." I thought. "Why would SHE blush around ME and studder and get nervous?" Hmmm...
That night I had a different dream. I was in space but I saw no stars. It was pitch black. I then saw someone laying on the ground and I felt really sad. I fell to my knees and started crying. Then I looked up and...
BAM! I woke up. I saw Lauren and I said,
"Um...Hi."
"Oh I'm sorry. I really shouldn't watch you sleep." She said.
She then kinda thought about what she said and I thought that it was weird. She watched me sleep?What about all those other times? Was she watching me sleep then? It felt weird knowing you were being watched all the times you slept. I then said,
"Ya...um..."
"Oh I'm sorry I didn't know you want to be alone."
"Oh not really." I pulled out my iPod and started listening to some music as she left. Whatever...
I was in space but I saw no stars. It was pitch black. I then saw someone laying on the ground and I felt really sad. I fell to my knees and started crying. Then I looked up and people. More like shadows. I couldn't see there faces but things started to clear out but then...guess what happens?...
BAM! I woke up. I felt Like I needed some exercise so I got up and walked to the door only to see many kids were taking claw machines out of a big truck. Then they took them up stairs to the laboratories. I saw Austin so I asked him,
"Hey what are the claw machines for?"
He replied, "Oh the smart kids from Parkside decided to make a grapple out of the parts of a claw machine. Except this grapple WILL grab the things it's shot at."
"Cool." I said back to him.
I fell back asleep and guess what? I had a dream.
I was in space but I saw no stars. It was pitch black. I then saw someone laying on the ground and I felt really sad. I fell to my knees and started crying. Then I looked up and people. More like shadows. I couldn't see there faces but things started to clear out but then they shot a net around me. I tried to squirm out but the net wouldn't budge. I was put in a van or something and got driven away when...Guess what happens?...
BAM! I woke up. Lauren wasn't there this time so I started listening to some Reliant K on my iPod. Jarret walked into the room and said,
"Hey Tom how's it going?."
"Huh, Oh hey Jarret." I said as I turned my iPod off.
"Oh Tom I have to go to the bathroom" Lauren said
"Pretty hot isn't she?" I said joyously.
"Huh wait who was that?" Jarret asked
"Shouldn't you know? Her name is Lauren and she's my personal nurse." I said
"Oh yeah I assigned her to you. Sorry I've been really busy since I've been promoted to admiral of the kid forces." Jarret said.
"You made the- WHAT! YOU ASSIGNED HER TO ME? THANK YOU! I screamed with joy
"Um...your welcome." Jarret replied
"Oh ya and congrats on getting the job."
"Yeah but it isn't as great as it seems." He said
Then Grand Ruler Johnny came in interrupting our conversation and announced,
"Jarret, the Kids Next Door ships are almost here."
"I'll be right there." Jarret replied, "See you later Tom." He said.
"Hey," I said to Grand Ruler Johnny, "Why hasn't Jarret visited me before?"
"Oh," he replied, "well we thought you were in such a bad condition that we didn't want you being visited."
Then, he walked out of the room.
I saw Lauren walk down the hall and I grabbed a soda from my mini-fridge and a handful of popcorn and turned my iPod onto a band called "Saves the Day" and started thinking...
That night I had a different dream. I was on my bed flying in space and I ran into a comet. I felt a blast so I bolted straight up and started breathing heavy. It was around 7:00 o'clock A.M. and the first bit of sun was just coming over the edge of the horizon when I saw what seemed like hundreds of buses going in the same direction.
"What the heck are they doing." I thought to myself.
I kept staring out the window when my one of my old friends, Austin O'Riely came in and said,
"We've decided to go the airport and take some planes. We think no one else is there so it should be easy. Oh and you have another visitor."
I saw my old friend Tom Roberts in the doorway. I call him Tom R Around my friends so no one gets confused because I'm Tom too and he calls me Tom A.. I was surprised as I walked over and I said,
"Dude, Tom! I haven't seen you since...well, I don't even remember when I last saw you." I blurted out.
"Ya well I was going from one school to the next guarding them. I went to all the elementary schools at least 5 times each in the last couple of months." He said.
"Wow well in the battle of Parkside I got injured so this has been my home for the past couple of days. It's not to bad." I said as I pulled out 2 Mountain Dews from my mini fridge and 2 bags of m'n'ms from my pile of candy.
"I get all this candy, a good bed, and a HOT nurse." I said
"Hmmm what's her name?" he asked
"Lauren." I replied
"Yes?" said a voice from behind the door.
I looked around and saw Lauren in the door way
"LAUREN! Oh what a pleasant surprise." I said
"Oh ya I um...have to do that...um...thing you know with the...um...well you know what I'm talking about." Tom R. said as he walked out of the room.
Lauren kinda blushed as she handed me a pile of fresh towels. At that moment our eyes met and we kinda just looked at each other.
"Thank you." I said in an awkward tone.
"Ya well...bye" she said as she walked out in a hurry.
I decided to go take a walk around the school because I was getting pretty tired. The entire school seemed to be abandoned. Why would we need so many troops for one mission? We didn't even expect much resistant. Actually we thought there would be no resistant! I was walking past the lunch room when I saw someone sitting one of the stools. I thought it was Lauren so I Slowly walked up to her when I heard her talking to herself. She was saying,
"Jeez, I really blew it in there. I don't even think he likes me."
In the most romantic way I could think up, I said,
"Yes, I do."
She turned around suddenly and went purple blush.
"But...what?" She managed to get out.
"well...I've always liked you and I always hoped you liked me. In fact-."
Lauren interrupted and said, "Follow me."
So, hand in hand, we went to the school roof top. It doesn't sound like much but it's pretty cool up there.
"This is where I go to think." Lauren said. "Mostly about...you."
"Wow, this is beautiful, and so are you. I said.
"Wow" I thought. "Could I have chosen more of a stupid line?"
She sat there looking and me when she stood up, walked over to me and kissed me. She then took my hand again and said, "Let's go!"
"Where to?" I asked as Lauren kept speeding down the halls.
She walked over to the janitors closet and she opened it, and pulled me in.
"What are we doing here? It's all dark and-."
Lauren jumped on me and well um...we um...started...making out.
I was totally french kissing her and having a good time when I thought I heard something coming from outside the closet. But, why would I worry about something like that when I'm in a time like THIS? Even though the school would be easily taken over because everyone is gone and the only people are the nurses and other injured people who would have a terrible horrific time, while I sat back and did this. Then I heard footsteps. Was that someone calling my name? I was about to go for the door when it opened,
"Freeze!" Jarret yelled
"What the?" I cried out.
There was an awkward silence, then I got up and shut the door with a
BAM!
And oh, this was not a dream.
