What a funny thing life is. We tend to always think about what is ahead of us instead of what is happening around us at a particular moment. I was sitting on a chair with a crimson cushion beside my room window. I’m guessing it was still dark out. I got myself out of bed after being woken up by a terrible nightmare. As I sat there, I leaned my head a little to the window sill. At that time, I saw many good things and some made me smile. The leaves on trees were moving gracefully. As though, they were synchronizing a perfect routine swirling in the empty road. As I sat there, my mind wandered off and soon reminded me about the nightmare that had woken me.


“I was standing in a room full of tables and chairs. Wondering why I was here, I walked around curiously. Then I heard laughter hammering me in the ear. Quickly I pressed my palms against my ear. Unable to stop it, I quickly look around again. I saw nothing but a sheet of blank parchment. As I reached for it, I felt myself floating for a brief moment and then I feel into a pit of nothingness. All black with just a single light at the end which seemed like forever. As I fell, horrors of going to a new school and not fitting in entered the dream. Not wanting to accept the fact I was the new kid I fought back.”

Later I woke, and now I’m still sitting beside the window. Leaving the nightmare behind me, I focused my attention on the magnificence of the moon. Not wanting to fall asleep after that, I gently took my guitar and started strumming a melody. Soon, human nature came by and I rushed to the toilet. After relieving my bladder, I washed my hands and decided to freshen up since I was already awake. A warm bath later, I wiped myself dry and dressed up in a cream long-sleeved t-shirt and a pair of faded jeans. Jumping on the bed, I pulled out my diary from my secret hiding place, well, honestly, it was only under my bed. I soon scribbled ‘Today’s the big day… again. As long as I don’t screw-up, I gonna be absolute fine.’ Kayla.
