Chapter Two: The Dreamer
Written By: Rhonda Sommer All Rights Reserved

Answer 1

"Class this is a new student. Everyone, this is David," Mr. Pruett says. David half waves to the class and walks to my edge of the classroom. He has this kind of bad boy look. Not really a "flutter off" look, just more of a "listen to what I have to say because it's going to be important" look. He sits right next to me.

"Hi," I say and focus back on my work. He has blues eyes. They aren't a light blue though, they have a deep blue. Like the sea, you could almost drown in them. In that moment, I'm transported to the day my parents died. The person holding the gun had the same exact blue eyes. But that cant be, he was only eight or nine right? I shake it off and continue studying him. His hair is auburn, I notice similar to mine, but has more streaks of blond in his own. You can tell that it's his natural hair color because that what color his roots and his eyebrows are too.

"What's your name?"

"Savvy...well Savannah but everyone calls me Savvy," I'm fumbling on my words so much that I want to get on the ground and go into fetal position because I'm so embarrassed.

"Call me Dee" he says.

"Okay, why do you go by 'Dee'?"

"It's a long story. Mr. Pruett told me that we had all the same classes, so you would be my tour guide as to where my classes are."

"Oh, okay sure," I say. "If I'm spending the day with you I should probably get to know you at least a little bit."

"What's your favorite color?" He asks me "Mine is blue."

"Green," I reply. "Whats your favorite thing to do? My favorite thing to do is listen to music. My favorite genre of music is a mix of rock and punk."

"Cool, I like to draw and listen to music...but I don't have a specific genre," He replies. "What color do you hate the most? I don't like red."

"Neither do I," I reply.

"What's your favorite dream?"

"I can't dream. Ever since my parents..." I drop off from what I was saying. "I don't have dreams," I finally say. This is true actually. Every night it's the same thing. My parents saying goodbye, and then getting shot.

"Sure you can."

"Okay, I'm not having this conversation with you." I'm getting annoyed.

"I used to dream of colors. Just everywhere, swirling around and around never stopping. Sometimes I dream of going to the fair. My mom holding my hand and then getting on the Ferris wheel," he stops talking and looks off into space. I refocus on my work because Mr. Pruett is coming over and I start writing the science equations down in my notebook.

"THIS IS NOT A CLASS ON SEAWEED BASKET WEAVING DAVID. GET TO WORK. THERE WILL BE NO DAYDREAMING IN MY CLASS ROOM."

"Sorry sir, I did not mean to day dream. Please accept my humble apology." Mr. Pruett huffs to the front of the classroom. I've decided to call him the daydreamer. That will be his nickname. Then I start to think.If I could dream...what would I dream of? My science equation goes to the back of my mind as I start to wonder...

Dee looks at me questionably. "What happened to your parents?"

"They...they passed away."

"Oh that's horrible! When?"

"When I was eight."

"How did they die?"

"You ask a lot of questions. Shut up and pay attention," I say harshly. Maybe a little too harshly but... he's asking way too many questions. I ignore him for the rest of the class.

____________________________

To my next class. Or rather our next class as I am reminded when the bell rings and Dee starts to talk to me. "Do you like broadcasting class?" He stops at his locker and gives me a look. "Can you..." He hands me his locker combo. I roll my eyes but open it and turn my body toward his.

"That's like being asked 'Do you like being punched in the face with razor sharp blades at the end.', it's a stupid question. Do I like broadcasting class? No. Do I tolerate it because other classes are worse? Yes."

"I didn't mean it like that."

"I didn't mean to be a wingspan. Oh wait, I did." I give him the most obnoxious smile that I can, and head to broadcasting class leaving him trailing behind me.
