Book 1: That Little Thing Called Day-Dream

Intro To The Dream...

Ever had one of those days where you just wake up thinking today is going to be one of the best days ever? Just think, last day of high school, graduation parties, summer vaca, friends saying their last goodbyes just before they all go their separate ways, like for college, the army, an internship or whatever it is. Pretty normal, huh? That’s what I thought until the final bell of school rang. That’s when all the weirdest started.

What happen to me was definitely unexpected; you could call it even a serendipitous domino effect.” But at the same time what happen to me had to be the most invigorating and most amazing splurge of adrenaline rush I’ve ever had. I’ve never felt so...thrilled.

I bet by now you’re wondering what this big thing is, right? Well, let me rewind back to the final school bell ringing. Honestly what I’m about to tell you will psych you out and be absolutely hard to believe because not even I believe this and it happen to me. It reminds me of that little thing we call a day-dream.


Chapter 1: How We All Got Started! (Friday)

Ring a ding ding! The school bell rang and it sounded off the last day of high school. I’m go my locker to start cleaning out everything, because whatever I don’t take with me gets thrown away by the janitors; and I just know I’ve left some very important things there. But they’d be much easier to find if my sloppy pig of a best friend, Reenee, wouldn’t constantly always dump her crap in my locker. She is such a packrat; she never throws anything away. Whatever doesn’t fit into her locker gets tossed into mine. And for some reason I never changed my lock. But I guess it wouldn’t matter because Reenee would always find a way to break in somehow.

“Ok now let’s see, what I want and don’t want. I don’t want this. I do want that. This is trash. This still works. ” I mumble on and on to myself.

*Gasp*

“Oh my goodness, I’ve been looking for this text book since the second month of school.” Man is Reenee gonna be mad. I chuckled as I’m holding out my Advance algebra text book.

Reenee’s best friend and somewhere around the second month of school I lost my algebra textbook, so I used Reenee’s for the remainder of the semester. This is great news that I’ve found it because now I don’t have to pay $220 to replace the textbook. I bet your thinking there is no way that a high school textbook cost that much well it wouldn’t except that all the senior classes were chosen to receive brand spanking new textbooks that the school had to buy themselves without funding. Our school supplies used to be donated from nearby universities but they’ve been having financial troubles lately so now the school has to pay for most things themselves this year. Which kind of sucks since this was my senior year. Everything cost so much money including prom and all the school dances.

But that’s ok because I have an awesome best friend who helped me think up of crazy ways to get money; like a lemonade stand (yeah I know we actually did that) but that didn’t get much profit. See Reenee tricked her little sister into making all the lemonade, signs and flyers. But her little sister is in 1s t grade and still learning how to read and write. So the reason why we didn’t get much profit is because the sign had said “COME AND GET YOUR LEMONAIDS”. Funny, right? No, you didn’t get it, well here’s the punch line. She couldn’t fit the letters aids in the first row so they were written on the second, alone. It read come and get your lemon-aids. Haha! I can see why people wouldn’t buy. We switch the sign later on but it got dark half an hour later so we only got like $15. But even though that failed it didn’t get us down we also tried car washes, selling candy, kissing booth, magic tricks, we even hustled a few people by pretending to be bad at card games, when we really were quite awesome. Actually I was kidding about the kissing booth but it did come up as an option. Basically it just sucked that we had to pay for everything.

“Wow, no way here’s my Yu-gi-oh card I thought I lost.” I was gonna trade this to one of my nerdy friend Kel. The card is Exodia’s left arm. The whole collection of his 5 body parts are super rare. Kel was gonna to give me $150 for the whole set but I just couldn’t find his left arm. Now I know where it went, under all Reenee’s crap.

Hmm I wonder if Kel will still pay me for the cards.

“HEY AM!” Shouted Reenee from the top of her lungs.

Man, is she loud and always shouting.

I smiled. “What’s up and why you hollering?”

“News just in, Cassandra’s big graduation party may have just gotten better. From an anonymous source, CJ Detwiler (in a deep speedy voice), there just might be trouble in paradise between Calvoon high’s all so perfect couple, Casseve.” She uttered in a news reporter type tone.

Casseve or Cassandra and Steve are supposedly the hottest couple in school even though Steve graduated 2 years ago.

“Let me guess, Cassandra dumped Steve again; over what this time? Did she catch him trying to join the track team so he could muster up enough speed to actually get away from her crazy ass?” I questioned.

“Actually Steve dumped her. Rumor is, according to CJ Detwiler (speedy deep man voice), she caught him kissing another girl and she went ballistic.” Reenee started to explain.

“Wait if he cheated then why did he break up with her” I questioned confusedly.

“Hush I’m getting to that! Well it turns out that Steve dumped Cassandra right after he graduated 2 yrs ago.” Reenee continued.

“No freaking way!” I exclaimed hitting Reenee in her shoulder. “They broke up two years ago. We definitely have to rub this in her face at her party. This will be complete payback for stealing our parts in the musical.” I cheered.

A few months ago Reenee and I decided to try out for the school musical and Cassandra and her little clone posy stole our parts. But that’s another story for another day.

“I know and that’s not all.” Reenee continued.

“There’s more!” I was definitely wide-eyed and enthused to hear the rest.

“Yeah! Also for the past two years Steve has been hooking up and dating other girls in college and Cassandra convinced him to pretend to continue being her boyfriend just so she could look cool for dating a college man. And have a better chance at winning cutest couple in the yearbook.”

I just stood there for a second with this devilish gleam in my eyes. I knew exactly what evil deeds to do with this information. I had already cooked up a complete and utter payback scheme for everything Cassandra has ever done to us and the rest of the student body she has tortured in my head.

“Do you have any idea what this means Reenee. We can seriously destroy her and get payback for all those snarky remarks and social abuse.” I began. “Even though we have done our fair share of equal retaliation torture tactics.” I continued in a sarcastically tone of voice.

“Doesn’t matter because Cassandra is about to get hers.”

Reenee and I looked at each other because we knew we both had thought up of the same diabolically scheme. It was going to be bitter sweet.

“Reveal everything at the party?” Reenee and I both answered in the most devious voices imaginable.

We both started to laugh as this is the most unreal thing Cassandra has ever done and let me tell you she has done some really incredible things, incredible meaning bad.

For the next forty-five minutes, as we were creatively hatching our plan to deconstruct the social life of an unsuspecting graduating senior, (high school right! even when it’s over it’s not over.) Reenee helped me to finish cleaning out my incredibly junkie locker. There were a lot of things in there that I thought I had lost, throughout the year; but it turned out that everything’s just been in my locker all piled up under Reenee’s stuff.

“Good! Finally done!” Reenee breathed with relief slamming my locker shut.

We started toward exiting the school.

“Thanks!” I said.

“Yeah yeah! That’s what friends are for. Plus most of the stuff was mine. But let’s just get you home so you can prepare for the party. Because I need you to help pick out my dress and so I can make up your face.”

“Eww no! You know I hate wearing make-up. It makes me look like a clown.” I protested.

“No it doesn’t, you looked so cute at homecoming. One of my best works ever. I deserved a standing ovation for completely reconstructing that train-wreck you called your face.” She teased.

“Hey I’m pretty. My mommy said so.” I said jokingly back.

“Ode to thee a face only a mother shall love.” Reenee continued trying to sound like Shakespeare.

“Shut up!” I said punching her in the arm playfully.

We both laughed and began teasing each other on our looks and personality habits. But then we came across a strange super bright light coming from the end of the hallway, just as we were about to walk out of the school through the side doors. Reenee noticed the light first since she was technically still inside the school but I had already walked out first.

“Hey what is that?”

“What’s what?”

“That light.”

“What light?”

“Come back inside.” Reenee said in a hushed voice pulling me back inside the school. “Come here look.”

“Whooooa!”

“Look at the bright light!” I saw the look on Reenee’s face she looked astound and curious. And whenever she usually gets that look we usually get into trouble. But hey, she’s my best friend right, through thick and thin.

So I walked back into the building and we both crept toward the light around the corner as we were shushing one another to be quiet. The closer we got the more clearly we could hear someone talking out of frustration in hushed tones. Just as we were about to peek around the corner the bright light started to flicker. Reenee was in front so she peeked first.

“Whoa!” She gasped silently.

“What! What is it? What do you see?” I asked curiously but still trying to stay quiet.

“I see someone. But I can’t really see them. The light’s too bright.”

“Let me see” Reenee stepped aside to allow me to see what was up.

“Whoa!”

“Whoa is right.” Reenee added.

“What’s up with this light? It’s so weird. And what is she or he doing?”

“I don’t know but I’m about to find out.” Reenee began to run towards the other side of the hallway. I grabbed her arm trying to stop her but she shrugged me off and went anyways.

“Reenee don’t. Your gonna make’em mad.”
