B had made fun of a boy wearing bright pink and white striped jeans, and I became scared of him. I ran away from him, ran deep into the woods behind the High School; he was chasing me down. I went inside of the football team’s storage shed and asked the team manager to help me. As B drove up to the shed the manager went out and told him that I hadn’t been seen. I was very scared.

Then the dream changed.

B and I were in the forest behind the school. We were lying on a blanket under the trees and made love. When we were through, I realized we were late for class. We ran to the front office to get our late pass, but there was a new girl in the front office. She handed us each a piece of paper and told us to call the toll free late-to-class number. But we didn’t know what the number was.

I went to my first class anyway: English. Jake and Rebecca were there and discussing Shakespeare. I sat down next to them and asked if they knew what the toll free number was, but they told me to not distract them.

I was sitting in the driver’s seat of my car and Melissa sat in the passenger’s seat. I pulled into the Nomar parking lot in homer and park the car. B’s 4” steel diving knife is stuck between the dash and the windshield.

Melissa grabbed the knife, removed the sheath, and pointed it at me. She was angry and yelled something at me. I grabbed the knife away from her and plunged it into her left thigh.

We both sat silently in shock staring at the knife in her thigh. She pulled the knife out and blood gushed all over the seat and floor. I started the car and drove toward the hospital; I know she needs stitches. But I get lost on the way to the hospital. I passed the bank a few times and ended up pulling into the grocery store parking lot to ask directions.

I am very upset that I can’t seem to find the hospital.

I was in a computer class with really old computers. Through the ancient desktop, I was able to find a secret program that let me into the back stairways of the building. I went up a number of flights of stairs to the roof.

I needed to take a picture because the view was so beautiful. I went back down the stairs for my camera. I unpacked bags of my stuff, and all sorts of personal items were strewn all over the floor of one stairway landing. Alicia Silverstone came by and kicked through my sacks of flour and sneered at me. I called her a bitch and slapped her.

Then I was crouched with my stuff on a sidewalk. There were Asian kids milling around me. I offered them some plastic eggs filled with Easter candy. They didn’t want the eggs once they were emptied of their chocolate.

I am naked and barely covered by a sheet. A cool boy in a cool car drove by and asked me a question. When I answered the question I became aware of my nakedness.
