\u201cKhloe? Khloe?!\u201d a voiced ringed. \u201cHey, Khloe!\u201d once again, the screeching voice ringed. Soon, Khloe felt as if the world was shaking \u2013 or is it?<\/p>\n
\u201cHuh? What?\u201d Khloe mused. She realized shortly after that her friend, Rae, was trying to interact with her while she was day dreaming again. Rae was a short girl with long, brown hair that flows smoothly down her back like water. Tan-skinned and her face was glowing like the translucent lights from the chandelier hanging from the wooden ceiling.<\/p>\n
\u201cUm, hello? Earth to Khloe, Khloe to Earth?\u201d said Rae, obviously feeling very annoyed because of Khloe day dreaming again. <\/em>\u201cYeah, sorry. I was just thinking about how it would be like in the future,\u201d said Khloe apologetically. \u201cTsk! Right, I\u2019ll go now. See you later!\u201d said Rae and left Khloe\u2019s house. Every time she day dreams, she stares blankly at nothing.<\/p>\n And there she was, staring into space again doing literally nothing, but to breathe calmly. Until soon, her eyes felt heavy and seconds later, everything went dark.<\/p>\n Woosh! Woosh!<\/em><\/p>\n Khloe suddenly woke up to a completely white room. \u201cAm I dead?\u2019 thought Khloe. She stood up and looked around to examine the room. \u201cAm I in the hospital?\u201d thought Khloe for the second time. Until, she heard a loud, booming voice. \u201cKhloe, breakfast is ready!\u201d it sounded like her mom.<\/p>\n She sprinted down the rickety wooden stairs and to the messy kitchen. She saw a tall woman wearing a light brown flannel standing just in front of the sink, looking like she had just finished doing the dishes. It was indeed her mom. \u201cHey, I made you some bacon and eggs. Have fun at school,\u201d said Khloe\u2019s mom and left along with her dad. Khloe guessed that they were going to work.<\/p>\n It was unusual that her mom made her breakfast because she did not know how to cook. \u201cOkay, well, thanks mom!\u201d exclaimed Khloe and sat down on the sofa-like chair and picked up the fork on her left hand.<\/p>\n Not long after, she had finished all her food and was now terribly full. She sprinted back upstairs, but stopped halfway as she remembered she had just finished eating and her stomach was full. After some time of resting and playing with her phone, she took her long, blue towel and swung it on her right shoulder and went inside her air-freshened bathroom to take a bath and go to school.<\/p>\n A little while later, she had found herself staring at cars just in front of their house, looking amused.<\/p>\n \u201cWhat\u2019s so surprising?\u201d asked a sudden voice. \u201cAh!\u201d shouted Khloe, \u201cRae, you scared me to death! Oh, my goodness!\u201d \u201cWell, what\u2019s so surprising?\u201d asked Rae for the second time. \u201cT-those cars a-are f-floating!\u201d stuttered Khloe. Rae laughed. \u201cWhat are you, in year 2000?\u201d teased Rae with a chuckle. \u201cNo, year 2020! Are you even okay?\u201d Khloe asked back, still wondering why and how the cars managed to float around.<\/p>\n \u201cYear 2020? Ha-ha! That was \u2013 like, thirty years ago,\u201d said Rae and laughed. \u201cS-so you m-mean i-it\u2019s not y-year 2020?\u201d asked Khloe, now feeling nervous. She had just remembered that she had day dreamed about what the future would be like and this happens. \u201cHey now, we don\u2019t want to be late for school, don\u2019t we? Don\u2019t mess around,\u201d said Rae and nudged Khloe\u2019s shoulder.<\/p>\n Later on, she saw herself at the last row of the class listening to Sir Lee\u2019s boring speeches about life lessons. Her seatmate, the Class President Ian, took out his phone and white earphones and listened to music instead of listening to Sir Lee. Khloe tapped Ian\u2019s shoulder lightly. \u201cYou can use phones?\u201d asked Khloe. Ian took off the earphone on his right ear to hear Khloe better. \u201cI\u2019m sorry, what were you saying?\u201d Ian asked back. \u201cYou can use phones in class?\u201d asked Khloe for the second time. \u201cYou\u2019re asking me? Aren\u2019t you the one who always checks her phone every subject?\u201d said Ian with a chuckle. \u201cWha \u2013 I do?\u201d asked Khloe looking very confused. Ian only nodded a \u201cyes\u201d in response and plugged his earphones in.She hesitated at first, but soon found herself using her phone and listened to pop music.<\/p>\n Hours stretched and Khloe felt more bored. But her boredom was saved by a ring of the school bell indicating that school was over. Every student in class started standing up and organizing their things and stretching. \u201cFinally, school\u2019s over,\u201d said Rae while stretching her arms up. \u201cWho knew it would be this boring?\u201d complained Khloe and put the last notebook in her black bag. \u201cYeah, come on! Let\u2019s go home,\u201d said Rae and pulled Khloe by the wrist.<\/p>\n As soon as she got home, she found herself again staring at the \u201cfloating\u201d cars. \u201cOkay, really, what year is it?\u201d asked Khloe. \u201cUm, year 2050?\u201d replied Rae unsurely. \u201cWhat. The. Actual. Heck.\u201d Had she really time travelled? Or was she just day dreaming again? <\/em>Thousands and millions of thoughts came flooding in Khloe\u2019s head. \u201cO-okay, I\u2019ll g-go i-inside now,\u201d stuttered Khloe. She waved to Rae as Rae waved back and was about to turn the door knob when she realized that THEY HAD NO DOOR KNOB! It was a secured door that had a pin in order for you to be able to go inside. She tried multiple passwords; her birthday, her mom\u2019s birthday, her dad\u2019s birthday, and still none of them worked!<\/p>\n She quickly dialed her mom\u2019s number on her cold phone. \u201cHey, mom, what\u2019s the password to the door?\u201d asked Khloe quickly. It was cold outside and she wanted to be warm. \u201cWhat? It\u2019s your dad and I\u2019s wedding anniversary, silly,\u201d <\/em>replied Khloe\u2019s mom on the other line. \u201cU-uh, yeah. Thanks!\u201d said Khloe very quickly and typed the date of her parents\u2019 wedding anniversary. The security lock made a toot! <\/em>sound that signaled that the door was open. She took a step inside the marble tiled floor of their home and closed to door to feel the warmth of the house. A little while later, her eyes felt heavy and soon, every thing went black.<\/p>\n She woke up, feeling dizzy. She looked around and mused. It was not the white room she woke up to earlier, it was her old, purple room that had glow in the dark stickers in star shapes around the ceiling. She immediately stood up and ran to her window and looked around outside. It had no fancy floating cars and it looked completely normal. She still wondered if it was just a dream or did she day dream or if she just imagined it. Thoughts came flooding in her mind for the second time. Until, she heard the loud, booming voice of her mom. \u201cKhloe, we\u2019ll go to work now,\u201d shouted Khloe\u2019s mom. She heard the door from downstairs close indicating that they had left already.<\/p>\n She slowly went down the stairs and to the kitchen, but to her luck, she had not seen any breakfast or any kind of food on the table. \u201cI guess I\u2019ll have to make my own food,\u201d said Khloe sadly. And so she did. She fried bacon and eggs, just like what had happened in her dream. It wasn\u2019t the best, but it tasted good anyway. As usual, Khloe got ready for school; took a nice and warm bath, got dressed in her school uniform, fixed her school bag, and made her hair. She decided she\u2019d do a hair bun to get her hair out of the way.<\/p>\n As she walked to school, she met Rae on the way. \u201cHey, Rae!\u201d called Khloe. Rae did not notice at first, but soon realized the someone had called her. \u201cOh, hey!\u201d greeted Rae and stopped midway to chat with Khloe. On their way to school, all Khloe and Rae did was laugh; some laughing at jokes, some laughing at unnecessary things, and some laughing at unfunny things. They just have a weird humor that they think is unique. On their way to the classroom, they walked slowly, Khloe chugging a bottle of apple juice on her left hand. \u201cOh, right!\u201d she exclaimed. \u201cRight what?\u201d asked Rae confusingly. She had not known a single clue about what she was talking about.<\/p>\n \u201cDo you remember about yesterday?\u201d asked Khloe, \u201cWhen you were trying to interact with me while I was day dreaming?\u201d \u201cUm, yes?\u201d replied Rae still looking very confused. \u201cI was actually day dreaming about what the future would look like,\u201d said Khloe sounding very proud. While Khloe continued what she was about to tell or \u201cstory tell\u201d her, Rae listened carefully. \u201cAnd did you know what happened?\u201d \u201cWhat?\u201d Their voices trailed off as they continued to chit-chat about things thought were interesting, funny, and even serious things that they like. Of course, Khloe could not stop talking about what her day dream was and what had happened in the miraculous dreams of hers. From floating cars, advanced security locks, and even being allowed to use phones in class! It was truly a wonderful dream. \u2013 Keona Ricci L.
