Chapter 12: Just A Dream

WARNING: You are probably going to hate me.

He Could Be The One

"I don't know, but we'll make it through…together."

I shot up from my bed breathing heavily. My head was spinning and my whole body was shaking. My mind kept telling me the truth but I didn't want to believe it.

It was just a dream.

No, no no. I can't be a dream, it felt so real. I wanted to cry, but I didn't want to show weakness. My pillow was wet from my sweat and so were my sheets. I got up from my bed, with the feeling of something coming up my throat. My legs quickly moved me to the bathroom as I dumped all the contents of my stomach into the toilet. Once I was done, I brushed my teeth and washed my face.

I looked into the mirror, I looked different, and not a good different. My eyes had bags under them, and my face looked tired. All because of some boy. I scoffed at the thought of him. That jerk. He thinks he can play with me. Well he has got another thing coming. I looked at my clock.

5:12

Great, what do I do at five in the morning?

Hey, why not go to the park.

That's not a bad idea. Look at me, my mind is giving me suggestions, yup I am totally losing it.

Once I was in some black leggings, an oversized sweater, and some converse I was off to the park. I grabbed my phone and my glasses because I wasn't going to bother with putting on contacts. I carefully and quietly crept down the stairs trying not to wake up my parents. Finally I made it to the bottom of the stair case. My stomach growled a little. I didn't want to eat because I'm pretty sure I am going to throw up later if I ate something. I slowly opened the front door, begging that it wouldn't creak. Thankfully it didn't as I made it outside closing the door behind me.

I've been outside for, about twenty minutes just walking around the park. There weren't a lot off people, most of them were jogging. I looked down at the sidewalk…big mistake. I crashed into someone and that someone fell to the ground. I prayed I wasn't the guy who took my first kiss, but fortunately it wasn't him because I don't think he would have yelled out 'Please don't rape me!'

"Please don't rape me, I'll give you anything you want!"

I chuckled a bit. "I'm not going to rape you, dude." He sighed in relief and got on his feet. The sun had gone up just a little so I could see his face clearly. He was a red head, with a…unique sense of style. His eyes were a very deep hazel color and he was very tall. He finally looked at me and held out his hand.

"I'm Dez."

I gently took his hand and shook it. "I'm Ally, nice to meet you."

"It's nice to meet me to." He flashed a childish smile at me. I laughed and smiled back.

"So, are you new around here?" I asked.

"Yeah, my best friend lives around here and I'm looking for his house. I just moved here, like literally ten minutes ago, but I'm having trouble finding his house." He said with a confused face.

"I'll help you, what's his address?" I asked. He gave me his address and I knew exactly where the house was. I always pass it on my way to school.

"Okay, let's go."

I wonder who his best friend is.

"…And here we are." I said as we stood in front of the blue house. I wasn't much, it looked homely. There were bushes with flowers around them, and a big fruit tree.

"So, who's your best friend?" I asked. He pulled off his very colorful hoodie and looked at me.

"Oh, you might now him around your school, does the name Austin Moon ring a bell?"

Time stopped and I almost died. How could Dez know Austin? I don't think Austin ever mentioned a friend with a weird name. It doesn't make since, to me at least. Wait, wait wait, back up. If he says that Austin is his best friend and he needed help getting to Austin's house, that means I lead myself to his house. Oh shit.

"Hello, anyone in there? Oh no, she's been possessed by an evil ghost!" He started to run around in a circle yelling out, 'Help! Evil! Ghost!' Which snapped me out of my day-nightmare. But before I could stop him I saw a light flicker on in the upstairs bedroom.

Please don't be him. Please don't be him. Please don't be him.

I chanted in my head. Maybe if I keep it up it won't be him. Just maybe. Unfortunately, for me it was him, but the bright side was that he didn't step out of his house.

"Dez? Is that you?" His voice called out.

"Yea, it's me, and I met a new friend who didn't accuse me of kidnapping!" He said excitingly. Oh, no what am I going to do?

"Oh cool, what's his name?" Austin asked.

"Oh it's a her." Dez answered.

"Oh, you finally got a girlfriend!" He said happy for his best friend.

"No, no no. Nothing like that, her name is A-"

I smacked my hand over his mouth and whispered into his ear. "Don't tell him who I am, just think of a different name, and uh don't ask questions, please." I pleaded. He saw the fear in my eyes and simply nodded.

"Uh, her name is uh All..Am..A..Aaaa-my, uh yeah, her name is Amy." He gave me a big cheeky smile. I laughed quietly.

"Oh, okay well I'm coming outside." My heart was racing, the only thing that I could think of was to run, so I ran. I ran behind a bush and waited for them to go inside. Once I heard the front door close I got up and caught my breath.

So close

At 7:40 my teeth were brushed, my hair was brushed and put into a high ponytail, I wore a band t-shirt, blue jeans, white converse, and my glasses with blush on my cheeks. I didn't want to wear a lot of make up today. I grabbed my backpack and checked to see if I had every thing. On the corner of my eye I saw something pink. I turned my head to the left and right there on my desktop was a pink rose.

I looked around my room for any sign that someone could have put it there. Nothing. My hand distinctively reached out and grabbed the rose with a note tapped to it, carefully not to poke myself with the thorns on it. I gently grabbed the note and opened it.

Love me or hate me,

both are in my favor...

If you love me,

I'll always be in your heart...

If you hate me,

I'll always be in your mind

Love,

Your Superhero.

Words can't even express how I feel about this. This is the sweetest thing anyone has ever done for me. And he quoted William Shakespeare. With all this drama it's good to know that someone loves you. Once all of this is over, I am determined to find out who my superhero is. But the note itself didn't make sense.

My cell phone rang, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Hello?"

"Oh, Hey Ally it's Ethan, so me and Trish were thinking and we came up with a plan-"

"Okay, I'll do it." I said. I already knew about the plan in my dream and why not do it, it's not like I'll get the same outcome as in my dream.

"Oh, but you didn't let me finish." He said confused.

"It's okay, I know every thing already."

"Okay then, see you at school." Then he hang up. I sighed dreading to see Austin and that…that skunk bag.

"…Okay, got it?" Trish asked me.

She had just explained to me the plan to get Austin jealous. This feeling of adrenaline jolted inside of me. The feeling of excitement, fear, and nervousness got to me. I just hope that me and Ethan didn't have to do anything to prove that we were a real couple, which we're not.

I simply nodded and looked over at Ethan. He gave me a light smile and interlocked our hands together. We walked towards the front doors and walked inside. Everyone stopped and looker our way. I tried to ignore it, but it was hard. Ethan squeezed my hand as we walked towards my locker.

"Don't like the attention?" He asked as I opened my locker and got my needed things out.

"Nope." I answered. I swiftly closed my locker, then the bell rang.

"See you later, 'Girlfriend.'" He said.

I laughed a bit and smiled at him. "Yea. See you later 'Boyfriend.'" I said mimicking his words. He chuckled and ruffled my hair, then walked away. I walked to my class passing the class janitors closet. I hoped that a hand would drag me in and that hand would belong to a familiar blonde and that blonde who apologize and kiss me senselessly. But that didn't happen. My mind keep repeating over the same thing since this morning.

It was just a dream.

It was finally lunch time and thank goodness I survived periods zero through fourth. I walked to my locker and stuffed my backpack inside of it then headed toward the cafeteria. My stomach didn't feel hungry since this morning so I walked over to my usual table. Trish was already seated at the table by herself. But before I could sit down at my table someone had called my name.

I looked behind me and saw the person I least expected to call me.

Nicole.

I looked over at Trish asking for an explanation. She just gave me a puzzled look and shrugged. I had no choice but to walk over to her table. But she wasn't sitting alone. She was seated next to Austin and Ethan. Can you say awkward. I walked over and sat next to Ethan. Austin and Nicole sat in front of the two of us. Ethan gave me a small smile.

"So, I hear you two are a couple now." Nicole said. She looked different, her glasses were gone and her whole nerdy fashion was gone and replaced with short skirts, high heels, revealing shirts, and heaping loads of make up. I missed her old self.

I awkwardly cleared my throat. "Uh, yeah we are." This instantly made a certain blondie look up at me. Hurt flashed in his eyes, but I looked away. The same eyes in my dream. Why couldn't it be real?

Because, I was just a dream.

I inwardly sighed. Nicole had this evil smirk on her face. Oh no.

"Prove it…kiss."

Ethan looked over at me. He saw the panic in my face. I'm pretty sure it was obvious that I was panicking.

"Uh, w-we are a real couple we don't-"

"Are you scared?" She interrupted him. Ethan scoffed.

"No."

"Then kiss." We didn't really have a choice. I turned my head to Ethan and gave him a reassuring smile. He smiled back and leaned in. I met him half way as our lips collied with each other. My hands were on his chest while his hands were on my shoulders. We kissed for exactly seven seconds, then we pulled away. I looked at the couple in front of us with a fake smile on my lips.

Nicole looked satisfied while Austin looked like he was chewed up and spit out into the garbage.

"Happy?" Ethan said, secretly wiping his lips.

"Very, Ally can I talk to you for a second?"

Before I could answer she grabbed my wrist and dragged me out of the cafeteria, into the empty hallway. She finally let go of my wrist.

"What do you want?" I snapped.

She scoffed. "I don't know exactly what you and my pathetic brother are doing, but it's not going to work."

I rubbed my temple. "What happened to you?"

"Nothing, I wanted to be popular and what better way to do that than to hook up with the most popular guy here."

I gasped. "So, your just using him?" I practically yelled.

"Well kind of, I knew you liked him and you still do, so hooking up with him helped with the popularity and for my own amusement."

"What amusement?" I asked, close to tears.

"To watch you in misery. Oh come on you didn't actually think you; nerdy and dorky had a chance with him; hot and popular, did you?" She said with her arms crossed over her chest. A tear rolled down my cheek.

She put a hand over her heart. "Oh you did. Well look at what has happened now, this is reality not some movie. Give me a call when you get your head out of your ass." She pat my head a little to hard. Tears streamed down my face. Why couldn't we make it through…together?

It was just a dream.
