• Chapter 3

    I was in my classroom. I woke up in the dream, I think. I looked around and it was the classroom. It was really dark so I went to the light. I turned around and it wouldn’t turn on. Black out maybe. I left the room hoping to find someone and people were sitting on the floor. I saw someone come up to me and pulled me to his locker.
    “Sit down.” It was Iyanjo. I looked at him but I was blind in the dark. I couldn’t see in the dark even if I wanted to or tried. I looked down and he sat next to me. He leaned his head against me.
    “When do you think this blackout will be over Kei.” He said.
    This was a dream. I knew it was cause that new kid didn’t know my name yet.
    I said, “Well I don’t know but I’ll be here for you so don’t worry.”
    He picked his head up and he looked at me.
    “Umm, Kei, I lo-“
    It ended before I could here him.
    “Who the heck woke me up when I was having the time of my life sleeping!?” I said standing up.
    “It’s me Iyanjo, idiot. You didn’t pay attention during class, so the teacher gave you the punishment of showing me around the school. Let’s go.” I took off my glasses and rubbed my eyes. They hurt really badly; so I went to the bathroom and washed them.
    After I was done I showed Iyanjo around the school. He had all the same classes as me. 1st period is Mr. Macintyre’s A.P. calculus class, 2nd period is Mr. Sadiron’s world history class; which is so boring. 3rd period is Ms. Nail’s chemistry class, Our lunch time is between 3rd and 4th hour, 4th period is Mrs. Martinez’s cooking class, 5th period is Ms. June’s home room, 6th is Mr. Levin’s gym class, 7th is Mr. Jae’s geometry. Those are all our classes. 1st and 2nd hour I get to sleep. 3rd, lunch, and 4th I get to be really active and its fun to eat what we make. 5th and 6th hour we are usually outside. 7th hour I actually listen to, cause it’s a priority to me. I want to be an architect.
    It was my dream ever since I was three. I have read 26 books and watched 13 videos on how to be an architect. So far I have made two houses. They have both sold and I am only a sophomore in high school. I think I can do stuff by myself without my parents money. Hah ha.
    “Okay that’s all. I’ll show you the clubs later. ‘Kay Let us go to lunch.” I said going to the cafeteria. He followed.
    As usual Adriana ran to me and caught up. She stopped me and looked at Iyanjo. I could tell why. He was a good-looking guy that is probably well liked. He has long blue navy hair and icy blue eyes. He doesn’t wear glasses like me which makes him way cuter.
    “Okay you can go out with Kei.” She said smiling.
    “Adriana, what the heck” I said
    “What are you talking about? I would never go out with a little brat like him. I don’t even swing that way.” Iyanjo walked away and my heart sank. I wanted to die right then and there.
    What does he mean by that? Dang It, I want to kill Adriana right now. Oh crap. I started to cry and ran to the bathroom.
    ”I can’t believe he’s such a jerk in real life. I just want to die right now. Wahhhh!” I kept on crying till I heard the door open. I shut up and listened to whoever was in here.
    “Kei are you in here? Adriana sent me and Jessie to look for you.” Evan said.
    I opened the stall door and Jessie hugged me.
    “It’s ok Kei. There are other fish in the ocean and you know that best.” He said hugging me like he knew anything.
    “Yeah but you know there is only one of him. Wahhhh” I cried even more till I had no tears left. After about 5 minutes of me crying we left and the bell rang for 4th period.
    My stomached growled all through the class but I was glad we made chili Alfredo that we all got to eat. Thank god next was going outside and hanging out. I’m so glad Adriana’s in this class with me.
    I left class and Adriana caught up to me. We walked to homeroom.
    “Kei, I am so sorry that that happened. I didn’t think he would be such a jerk I’m so sorry. Really I am.” She said, looking like she was about to burst into tears.
    I started, “You know Adriana, when I first met you I thought you were just like me. You lost almost everything till you saved most of the world.” I said walking with our class outside.
    “I believe it was the entire world.” She said walking out the door with the rest of the class.
    I gave her a look and continued, “Anyway, you were lonely when we were little. You had the eyes of a savior but the heart of an idiot. I wanted your life just to give up mine and have a crappier life. But then one day you stood up and protected everyone. So to sum this all up I want to be like you Adriana. I want to be strong just like you.”
    She looked surprised and shook her head. She didn’t say anything and we kept on walking.
    We stopped walking and turned around. Jessie and Alison came running towards us.
    “Adriana, Kei, we finally found you. There was a big problem after lunch.” Jessie said.
    “Yeah Evan and Iyanjo got in a fight and were hurt badly by some more kids that joined in.” Alison said.
    That’s why I didn’t see him or Evan come with us Oh no something bad. Not again.
    I ran inside the school and to the office. They were both sitting in there and they looked at me. I started to cry and fell to the floor.
    ”Why did you get in a fight was there really any reason. Wahhh!” I cried more and more then Iyanjo hugged me. I was shocked.
    He whispered, “There was a reason dummy. Cause I was fighting for you. Your just naïve and can’t notice.” I looked at him and he was smiling. I was laughing and crying at the same time because I was so happy.
    He’s not so bad. It’s just because I’m stupid to notice these things. Hah ha I’m so happy.
    I looked at Evan, and he and Iyanjo were glaring at each other. I laughed then a bunch of people came in. I wasn’t good in crowds and I would faint. I think that’s the one thing me and Adriana had in common, fainting when in big crowds.
    “Kei!”
