The Dream
People were running around and shouting, but I couldn’t hear what they were saying. “Dad what’s going on?” I yelled. “Nothing honey. Don’t worry you’ll forget everything soon” my dad answered. I tried to ask him what he meant, but about that time one of the military men gave me some sort of shot.
I woke up covered in a cold sweat dazed and foggy. It was only a dream? It felt so real though. I lay in bed for fifteen minutes trying to figure out if it was really just a dream. I finally decided that it was I mean what are the chances that I saw an actual alien? Slim to none. I got out of bed to take a shower. It wasn’t until I was drying my self off that I noticed the burses on my back. Where did I get those? I thought. I didn’t remember falling on my back recently. After a couple minutes pondering where I got them from I just decided that unlikely as I seems I probably just hurt myself and didn’t realize it. I got dressed and headed down stairs. “You look like you had a rough night last night.” My mom said over a steaming pot of macaroni and cheese, “What did you guys do last night?” “We just went to Fat Fryers.” I said. “Oh is that all. No late night parting?” she asked with a sly smile. “No and if I did I can’t remember any of it.” I told her. “Alright, you should hurry and get to school or your going to be late.” She said. “Shoot” I exclaimed running towards the door. I got to school just before the bell rang. It wasn’t until lunch that I saw Alec. “Oh my gosh what happened to your lip Alec?” I asked. “I don’t know. I woke up this morning and my lip was busted.” He answered. It was so bad that the right side of his lip was four sizes bigger than his left. “Personally I think he had a little too much to drink after we left and got in a fight with one of the jerks on his street and that’s why he can’t remember.” Kris said with a laugh. “Well if that’s true the guy I fought would be in the hospital” he said. Kris and I both laughed at that. “Oh ha, ha, ha very funny. When some random person started beating you up because you insulted him don’t come to me for help” he said with a sour face. “Fine we wouldn’t want you to spend the rest of your junior year in the hospital anyway” I retorted. “Hump” he said as he stalked off to the table. “Aliright Alec we’re sorry. You’re the toughest manliest man there ever was and we would be honored if you ever protected us from the unknown attacker in the future.” Kris said sarcastically “You better believe it.” Alec replayed not seeming to care that Kris was being sarcastic. “So Kris do you remember anything about last night?” I asked her. “No but I rarely do” she said with a smile. The bell rang so I couldn’t ask her any more questions. The rest of the day went by in a blur. If someone were to ask me about what we learned in English I wouldn’t have a clue. I was too preoccupied with everything that was happening. Why is it that no one remembers what happened last night? I was still thinking about it when I got home. “Sam is something wrong” my mom asked me. She had a concerned look on her face. “Yeah mom I’m fine. I just have a lot on my mind.” I assured her. I could tell by the look on her face that she didn’t buy it, but she didn’t press any further, which seemed really strange for her. Usually she would bug me until I told her the truth. This day just kept getting stranger and stranger. I went upstairs and started on my homework trying to distract my thoughts from the weird day. I didn’t work to well. My mind kept going back to my strange dream and how real it felt. The more I thought about the more I thought it was real, and if it was real that would mean that my dad knew all about it. I’m crazy I told myself the whole way down to my dad’s home office. Completely crazy, but that didn’t stop me from starting up his computer. I was searching through his files for almost twenty minutes. I was about to call it quits when I spotted a file that had Alec’s, Kris’s and my name on it and it was dated last night. I hesitated, but only for a second before I clicked on it. The file didn’t come up all it said was level five classified, and asked for my password. That was defiantly strange!
