Last night, I had the weirdest dream! We were at school and the new messenger came out. It was light green and it had many funny stories there. And then I was talking to Laura (Wes’s girlfriend) one of the girls there and she was part of the swim team. It was after a swim meet and the swimsuits were all being dried at my room. My rooms was a classroom/dormroom at school. It was really weird. And then I, for some reason, didn’t have underwear on so I had to lock the door and find some. But then Laura almost came in crying. And then she told me something and then we became best friends. Then when she left with her friend and said something about going to the beach. Chris P. came and looked for her. I told her she said she was going to the beach. Then he asked me if she was going with Danny S. I said I didn’t know and he left. There was an assembly outside; it was just like the baseball stadiums and they were just talking. Just as I was going inside, I saw Danny S. He had the biggest afro I have ever seen. It was puffy and his skin was silky smooth. Then he was telling me that I did a great job and kept on rambling about cameras. He was talking in codes that I didn’t understand. For example, “The D3421 is a good camera for wideshots and ranges like a G2358 or a G32456…” But I acted like I understood what he meant and nodded. Then he was done talking, I was about to tell him Laura did most of the work, but he left really fast and dissapearred. I felt bad, so I tried to find Laura and tell her all about it. I went inside to look for her and I found her dressed in a black robe and a purple necktie/ribbon. I looked like she was graduating, but it wasn’t the time yet. So I had to wait until the speaker was done and when it was done, everybody left. I waved and she noticed me. She sat on a seat and waited for me. I told her that Chris P. was looking for her, and she laughed. I told her that he asked if Danny was going and she giggled. Then I said Danny came and asked me for you. She seemed really surprised and happy. She said, “Really?!” And then Danny S. came right behind her and I told her to look back. They talked and I left. Then as I was going out the door, I turned back and told him that Laura was the one who did most work. I said, “Laura was the one who did the most ‘gonglo,” and paused because ‘gonglo’ was Chinese and he didn’t understand it. So I said ‘gonglo’ halfway, stopped, and said work. We discussed what a huge success this messenger was and told us a good job. I said I really liked the stories and the colors of the newspaper. And he said we needed to have a meeting on other good stories. Then somehow, they came to my room. I was searching for all my old messengers in my white tub and they were talking about things. Then Danny told Laura that she needed all those kinds of photography books and listed out names. I found one similar and showed it to him. He looked at it and said, “No, it’s okay, you can keep it.” I felt kind of embarrassed I tried to dig some more of my messengers. Just as I found another stack of old messengers, I tried to take it out, but when Laura looked over my shoulder, I quickly hid it because I didn’t want her to think I was weird, collecting all the messengers.
And then the dream stopped when a phone call from my Uncle came.
