when i wake up naturally i remember dreams
so it started with a halloween prank. i was back in highschool i guess and i decided i was going to leave something in front of the door to the house of every person in my class. a totem to whatever they were afraid of. a mummy, a giant spider...whatever. and this blonde girl i really didn't like was i guess afraid of flying monkeys. but this was a really last minute prank and i didn't have a lot of resources so i left a stick with a piece of red cloth around it in her mailbox. and while i was doing this i could hear the conversation between two people about how their grandmother told them a really good health recipie but it ended up being really long-stewed raspberry tea turned into jelly and poured over old chewing gum. it didn't work but her grandmother was dying so she tried it out of respect. i think this was Alex for some reason in my dream.
anyway, that was a tuesday and then its friday and because it's the friday after halloween everyone is dressed up in costume but i'm not because i forgot. i'm on the school bus. i get to school and pull out of my locker a wig. tutu, and pair of wings i just happened to have in there (hey that's actually sort of true) and go TA-DA! and my friends are impressed.
we go to homeroom or whatever but the blonde girl isn't there. i have a friend who looks like the younger school age version of the asian girl from Lost. we go to the bathroom between homeroom and first period and there in the last stall is the blonde girl half out of the stall on the floor. she looks like shes passed out or something but niether of us check her pulse she does have a cellphone with a recent text on it and a few other items. we pick up the items and leave the girl. then halfway to our next class i change my mind and run back downstairs tot he bathroom, she's not there anymore, so i go back to homeroom and there she is propped up in the back of the room, clearly still unconcious or dead. but the teacher/secretary in the room is not worried, shes yawning and chewing bubblegum and says she'll call the nurses office. but as i run back to make it to my next class on time i look back and i see shes taking her sweet time calling and i wonder if she's in on it. i get to my next class and i'm really flustered because the blonde girls friends know shes not there and they're worried AND i have her stuff. i whisper to them what happened so far and they are upset and making protesting noises at me but we are trying to be quiet about it since the teacher is talking. we are in english class which is being held in an art room for some reason. i ask them what the sentance from her most recent recived text is and the teacher overhears and tells me its a line from a poem by a famous dead white guy who was gay. she says this really lazily like she caught us doing something bad. then she asks what we are doing interrupting her lecture. i start to sputter and say something and at this point i look like lizzy meguires best friend, with the long black hair in pigtails. and then...........................idk i woke up
ALSO at some point during this dream it was explained to me that if i missed getting to dress up for halloween there was always teflon day in a few weeks, where everyone dresses up as a piece of metal cookwear or kitchen item. mostly people use cardboard. i was considering how to make a pasta pot costume or a cheese grater hat.
WEIrD i felt guilty about the blonde the whole time even tho all i did was leave a stick witha red rag on it outside her door.
