chapter2

The rain stopped shortly and I took the ride home. I recalled that I had exchanged numbers with her and Ellie so we could chat, or whatever was their idea. Matthew called me as soon as I reached home. But I didn’t pick it up, neither had I any strength left to do so. I dived headfirst into my bed and that’s it.

I had the strangest of dreams that night. It was a person. I do not know who, but it was indeed a woman. I could tell that because she had long red hair, so, it was definitely an unknown person. I saw myself running away. It was a forest. Many twigs were there and it was a night but the woman’s hair was clearly visible as the moonlight reflected on her. I was afraid but there was two other people. One was running along with me while one was on my back. The last thing I saw was that the woman beside me fell down on the ground.

That was all until the sound of my alarm woke me up. It showed 7:00 a.m. on the wall clock. But I definitely remembered each and every scene of the dream, I remember having seen such dreams before also.

November 27, Thursday,

My headache was better than that of yesterday but it was still spinning hard. I could not take a day off from school today as it was the last date for the submission of my Science report. So, I took some medicines and ate my breakfast and set off.

When I entered the school, many people were preparing the grounds for the winter festival. Matthew and Ellie were there. They were helping out the vice-president of the student council. They started waving their hands as soon as they caught a glimpse of me. I went there and joined their conversation.

Matthew: Oh, hey J! We were just talking about what to give you on your birthd...!!

Before he could finish Ellie hit his back with her elbow. The way he reacted, made some people think that he might have broken a rib or two. I totally understood what they were talking about. I myself had forgot that my birthday was on 10th of December. I am not sure if I would be able to keep that in mind till then.

Surprisingly, Anne did not come to school today. Ellie told me that she was having a little cold, she explained that Anne has this habit of catching cold quickly and the splashes of rainwater the previous day might have caused that to happen.

Well Andrew was acting wild as usual and what is more is this new student transferred today. Her name is Debbie. I am telling you; this girl will surely be a trouble to be classmates with. All the average boys came running after her to collect her number. They always do this. The thing is this girl’s father is a senior teacher in our school and she is making it totally obvious and using this feature to her advantage.

At lunch many people offered her seats but she pretended to ignore them. I had come to eat lunch a little later and after seeing that attitude I didn’t feel like offering her seats. This was definitely not the last time I was seeing this.
