Dreaming
After a late night, study session in her small single dorm room, Sarah decided to have a cup of hot tea before bed. This was a new tea she was trying sent from her aunt who happens to be ““ saving the rainforest in the Amazon“ . As she was waiting for her water to heat up, Sarah had grabbed the envelope that her aunt had sent her. She had pulled out a hand written letter along with a few teabags that said “don’t be shocked by the effects of this tea, please drink it on the weekends when you’re able to sleep longer. Everything in the teabag is all natural and won’t hurt you. I miss you and I love you so much. I hope you enjoy this tea “.
Sarah wasn’t shocked by this as her aunt would always send her different teas to try so she trusted her. she definitely was excited to try this tea and experience the effects. The kettle went off. After drinking half of the cup, Sarah began to get sleepy, so she laid her head on her satin pillowcase and dozed off.
“Where am I” Sarah said puzzled. She heard a voice reply, “who are you?” Sarah turned around and saw it was one of her classmates who also lives a few dorms down. “Sarah?” “Brad?” Sarah also had a secret crush on Brad. He was going to school for computer science, but got a scholarship for Baseball. He was one hot nerd.
See, Sarah was invisible in college, was in the computer science program as well but played video games and kept to herself. She didn’t go party, she stayed in her dorm room gaming with her friends that’s she’s been friends with since middle school. Sarah, never wore make up and never dressed fancy. She didn’t come from a wealthy family so got there by herself. Worked 2 jobs in high school to save up for her first 2 years and borrowing for the rest 2 years. In high school she was invisible as well. Her father and mother passed away in a horrible accident so her Aunt had raised her to the best of her ability which, let’s face it wasn’t the greatest, but hey CPS wasn’t called.
Anyways, those two were still talking, mainly about classes and luckily for them it’s in dream world which in reality it’s only been 5 minutes but to them it’s been hours. Sarah thought, “oh I wish we could go on a date and he’d kiss me” and that’s when Brad goes “Hey Sarah, would you want to go on a date with me?” “It’s a dream of course he’s going to ask me, it’s what I’ve always wanted since laying eyes on him” she said to herself. “ sure” she replied to Brad.
they go on the best date Sarah’s ever been on, and let’s face it, she’s only beeen on online dates so she had nothing to compare it to. They had the dinner and she thought to herself that he’d lean over and kiss her and he did just that. Sarah jumped a little as she was shocked at what happened. “First, Im entering somone else’s dream, and then I’m controlling it. What else could I do? “she said to herself.
That’s when Sarah was awaken by a knock at the door. She jumped out of bed and answered it. It was him, Brad. “Was that just real?” Sarah was blinded by the so she was robbing her eyelids and said” I’m pretty sure it was?” “ well I don’t know how that happened but please stay out of my dreams” his voice cracked as he replied. “ that was completely weird and scary” he continued.
He turned around and headed back to his room. Sarah was left in awed as if it was her fault, then she remembered it was! It was the tea! She closed the door and laid back down. “That tea allows me to go into other peoples dreams and I can do anything!” She exclaimed. She dozed off again and this time she thought of one of her online friends that she never met, Alex.
She opened her eyes in this weird house she’s never been in. She happened to be in on of the bedrooms so she was slowly entering all the rooms to see if she could find said friend. There he was in the kitchen, cooking. “Alex?” She said quietly. Alex turned around and he was holding a knife, there was blood dripping off of it. She leaded to the left to see if he was cutting up meat or something and that’s when she saw a head. Sarah screamed so loudly in her sleep that her neighbor came pounding on her door, but that’s when Sarah didn’t wake up.
