Dreaming of Reality ~ Chapter 1
I was packing my last belongings when my mom walked in my room with a sad expression on her face. I looked at her and I knew that she wanted to tell me something.
- Sweetie, are you sure this is what you want to do?
- Momā¦ I know that what Iām doing seems strange but Iām doing the right thing. Iām pretty sure that there wonāt be any problems. But if there are any I will call you and father right away, so donāt worry please.
- Okay. But youāll have to call me every day. Tell me all the newsā¦ the bad and good ones, ākay?
- Yes mom. I promise to call both of you every day. And on weekend we can have video calls too, howās that?
- Kaitlin, you know we will miss you donāt you? And you know this is really difficultā¦ Not just for me, for your father too.
- I know. But you have to understand that I canāt be like a little animal in a cage for the rest of my live.
My mother stayed quiet and said nothing more until I was ready to get in Naomiās car which was parked in front of my house. Before I went outside for the first time of my life, I looked at my fatherās face. It was sad just like me motherās. My mouth started to spill my last words to them:
- Mom and dad, I really appreciate what youāve done for me these 16 years. Now itās time for me to learn new things and new places for myself. Remember I will never leave you aloneā¦ I will always be in contact, every single day. And if you want to be with me you could come pay me a visit, you know? Thank you for all.
Ā Ā I took one step and another at a time, and everything outside was brand new for my eyes. In few words I would say I was fascinated. I took a few more steps and was already inside the car. I didnāt look back because I knew I would start crying and I wanted to look strong in front of them. The car started working and I was still in absolute silence. When I couldnāt see my house anymore a tear came running down my face. Naomi just patted my head in silence. She knew I was a strong girl but at times like this I would look like a crying baby. The silence remained but it didnāt take long for me to break it.
- Aunt Naomi, can I turn on the radio?
- Yes, of course. And just one more thing, you can call me Naomi. Besides, we are only 5 years apart so itās a bit strange for you to call me that way.
That was it, we didnāt say anything more and 3 hours later I could see the house and the school I was going to live for the next 4 years. I looked around the house and it was a pretty, clean, fresh, colorful and calm. It was perfect. I could not believe the life I always wished for was just getting started.
Ā Ā The week that was missing for me to go to school passed rather quickly but I wished it didnāt. Why? I was scared. Why again? I could only open myself with family members and I had none in this school so I was going to be quiet as a mice. So I thought to myself: āWell, I donāt have much of a choice. I need to believe in me and try not to make a foul out of myselfā.
Ā Ā I had one more reason as well. In the past few days Iāve had a dream in which I could see me in front of the principal gate of my new school. It was a big and wide gate and I was at its left side just watching the students pass by. Some of them looked at me and other just passed through me. It looked like a peaceful place to be. But at the moment this wasnāt a dream, I was here for real.
Ā Ā Ā I was really nervous. I didnāt know where my classes where and no one offered their help. So I was in front of the principal gate just looking at the students. I give a glance at my clock and it was exactly half past eight. My classes only started at nine so had plenty of time to kill all by myself. I started to look around the Scholl grounds. It had 6 buildings, one for itch year plus a P.E. building, a library and a cafeteria and bar in the same building. The last two buildings I referred where white. But the ones with the classrooms had a different color. āI wonder whyā¦ Oh! Thatās right.ā The different colors represent the different year grades. The light green one was for the 10th grade, the light blue one the 11th grade and the light orange one is the 12th grade. When I was wondering trough the school grounds I discovered a little marble bench with some trees by its side, it was the perfect place for me to go during brakes. I looked again at my clock and it was already 9oāclock. I rushed to go to my classroom. My class was 2B and I was near the 2F class. I just needed to go straight and I would find my class. But no, the first thing I see is this kind of middle-aged man. āO boy, o boy. What have I done?ā
- Excuse me but shouldnāt you be in your classroom?
- Yes sir, but I canāt find itā¦
- In what class are youā¦? Missā¦?
- Kaitlin, my name is Kaitlin and Iām in class 2B.
- Oh, that classroom is almost at the end of this corridor
- Thank you very much, sir.
- Youāre welcome. And just call me principal!
I replied with a nod. āOMG! That was the principal and I didnāt even know! So embarrassingā¦ā I had my moment of embarrassment and started to walk. Class 2B here it is. I closed my eyes took a big breath and knock on the door.
- Yes, come inā¦ ā I heard a voice say
- Excuse meā¦ Iāmā¦ Iām new in schoolā¦ Got lostā¦
- Oh! Youāre the new student, right?
- Attention class! This is your new classmate, sheās going to present herself so be quiet.
Everyone stopped doing what they were at and looked at me. I was in a sea of jitters and couldnāt speak.
- Humā¦ Myā¦ My name isā¦ Kayā¦ Kaitlin Black. Humā¦ Itās nice to meet you all. - Then I make a nervous little smile.
When I finished talking there was a moment of silence followed by a few whispers. Then the teacher told me to sit in the last row next to the window. I bowed to the teacher and went to my place. At my right was a girl with long curly red hair and beautiful light green eyes. She looked at me and made a bright smile. I just couldnāt resist but to give a smile back. The class came to an end and before I knew there were 3 to 4 people around me, which shocked me.
- Hey, where are you from?
- Why did you transferred to this school?
- Do you have any siblings?
I just remained in absolute silence. I was just too scared to talk. āWhat have I done?ā The only thing I can remember was some voice saying:
- Hey donāt you think youāre scaring her? ā I looked at him and he was justā¦ Donāt know, but there was something about him that I liked. With red straight hair, a strand of hair falling over a side of his face and the same eye color of the girl that had given me a smile, āMaybe theyāre brothers or somethingā.
- Hey bro! Acting all tough and mighty just to get the girl, hum?
- Lucy, stop it. Donāt even start talking like Iām some sort of playboy or something like that.
- Oh poor Danny being something and not knowingā¦
- Just because youāre my sister that doesnāt give you the right of calling me a playboy in front of everybody, you know?
- Ok you big baby thatās good for nothingā¦
āSo they really are brother and sisterā¦ That does make sense because they really look alike.ā
- Hey are you okay, Kaitlin? My name is Lucy Maxwell, nice to meet you. ā And again that bright smile that I just loved. ā And that one over there is my brother Danny.
- Humā¦ Iām okay, I thinkā¦ Andā¦ And nice to meet you too.
- You donāt need to be shy, just be yourself! Let it goā¦ Go with the flow girl!
- Iā¦ I knowā¦. itās just that Iām naturally shyā¦ Shy around people Iāve just metā¦ Andā¦
- So thatās your problem! Donāt worry youāll like my friends!
I was happy I had made two new friends. āI think this will be fun, in some kind of wayā.
Latter I made three new friends. They were the ones that invaded me with questions. Theyāre names were Marco, Ashley and Yuuki. They latter told me that Marco and Ashley were cousins and Yukiās father was from Japan. I had a bit of difficulty talking with them but besides that it was being joyful. Marco had straight short brown hair and light brown eyes, Ashley had straight black hair till the shoulders and dark brown eyes and Yuki had straight black hair to the waist and green lemon eyes.
Ā Ā The classes began again and as the teacher entered the room everyone went to their seats. We had a math class and I could understand most of the problems, āThis is just to grate to be truthā¦ Not only have I made new friends but also do I understand what the teacher is talking aboutā. The next thing we had was lunch break and Lucy and her friend invited me to have lunch with them. I just responded with a bright smile just like one of Lucyās. Everybody dropped their chins in admiration.
- Wowā¦ what a cute smile. ā Danny said it and I just went deeply red with embarrassment.
- Oh youāre making her shy! How kawaiā¦ - I think that was what Yuki said. - You donāt need to be like that around us. But you really are a cute girl. - That was the final blow.
- Humā¦ Thank you everyoneā¦
With that the group went to the cafeteria. We waited in the row for 6 minutes or so and everyone besides me was served and went to the table. I had to wait for more food to be done. When the food was already on my plate I went searching for them. When I finally found my friend at the last table I went for them. Just before I reached the table someoneās lag made me fall over the floor.
- Ops! Oh Iām so sorry, I guess my legs are just too longā¦
- Noā¦ Noā¦ Itās okayā¦ It was my fault for not paying attentionā¦
- And just one more thingā¦ Just because the royal gang is paying attention that doesnāt mean youāre special! Hum!
I remained in silence trying to clean myself and seeing if I had spilled any of my food.
- What happened here? ā I hear Danny say ā Was it you Giselle?
- Oh Prince Danny, I was trying to help her.
āSo the Ā«Royal gangĀ» you were talking about were my friends? And I suppose you like Danny just by the way youāre talking with himā¦ā
- Yeah sureā¦ I know it was you who made her fall. āHe defended me again.
- Hum, Dannyā¦ Itā¦ It was my own faultā¦ She really was just trying to help outā¦ - I managed to say.
-Yes Dannyā¦Iām sure of itā¦ And, humā¦ Could you helpā¦ Help me get up, please?
- Just give me your tray and your hand next. Okay?
He lifted me so fast that my head was buried in his chest. I was so embarrassed.
- Humā¦ Thankā¦ Thank youā¦
Then we went to our seats and the ones that just watched the all scene happening asked if I was okay.
- So youāve heard stuff about this royal gang? Well donāt mind it. Itās a stupid name for those who admire our group. ā Lucy explained.
- So youāre not from the royalty? ā I was still confused.
- Of course not! Where did you get that idea? Weāre just a bunch of friends. ā Marco said thinking it was a funny comment.
The lunch break came to an end and we had to go back to the classroom. I was still in shock about what had happened in lunch break. Guess what? I think I know Giselle from some wereā¦ But then again that must be my imagination.
Ā Ā The class we had was the last one so after that everyone went home. I was still in the classroom packing up my stuff. Then I leaned my head over the table to rest a bit. Not doing it on purpose I fell asleep for a moment. I dreamt that Naomi wasnāt waiting for me at the school gate like she was supposed to. In the dream I had someone walk me home and when I opened the door house I saw Naomi lying on the floor. Then I eared calling my name. Next thing I knew, I was awake.
- Hey, this is no place for you to fall asleepā¦ - Danny came from nowhere.
- Hum... Just a bit dizzyā¦ But in a few minutes it will passā¦ I thinkā¦
- Manā¦ Now I donāt want to leave you alone. You donāt look so well.
- Iā¦ Iām okayā¦ - I said, just so that Danny wouldn't worry. But in reality I was not. I mean, my aunt could be dead or somethingā¦
- Yeah sure. I can see that youāre not okay. Do you have someone waiting for you outside? If you donāt Iāll walk you home no matter what.
- Humā¦ My aunt is supposed to be waiting for me at the front gateā¦ - I tried to say.
- Then come on letās go.
With that we exited the classroom and went outside. We past trough the front gate, no one was there.
- My aunt is not hereā¦ So my dream was real!
- What dream? ā Danny asks
- We donāt have time for that I will explain to you latterā¦ Now, letās goā¦ - I told him in a kind of hurry.
When we got there, the only thing I remember was opening the front door and starting looking for Naomi. I found her at her room lying on the floor. I couldnāt take it so I just I let a scream out.
