C4 Her Weird Dream - B

"How could you do this to me! I became a good friend to you. I always let you copy my answers during exams, I fought for you whenever you are being bullied, and now, you do this to me? Traitor!" Cissie resented while her tears were flowing like a stream.

"I'm really sorry. I was just also a victim and… Oh, Mayor. Thank goodness you arrived! I really don't know what to do here," Mary scratched her head. Mary welcomed the Mayor who is formally dressed. He even carried a Bible and an attaché case.

"Sorry, Mary. We had a hard time searching for Len, who will be the witness with you. By the way, where is…" Cissie interrupted the Mayor.

"Wow, and you even brought a Bible with you? Don't you get the creeps? You are even using the Bible in evil deeds,'' Cissie interrupted.

Cissie was shocked when she saw the man who entered the room. He was wearing white yet she could not see his face. Then, the bridal song 'Here Comes the Bride' played. He walked near her until Cissie recognized him. She got more confused with what she discovered.

"What! Jay? Even you, are into this? My goodness! What is happening with the people I trusted? Why did you do this to me? Did I do anything wrong? Traitors!" Cissie sentimented. The pain in Cissie's heart was so intense that it was as if being cut in half. All the people she trusted harmed her. She couldn't even recognize all the other people in front of her because of her tears falling endlessly.

"I just changed my outfit, Mayor. We can now start the wedding," Jay smilingly said.

"What? Wedding? Whose wedding? What is really happening here?" Cissie was even more confused.

"I'm really sorry with what happened, but I am really the one behind it. I asked them to kidnap you, then, I asked the Mayor to officiate the wedding. I really fear that someone might do this before me, so I went ahead of them," Jay responded seriously. He slowly bent near Cissie. When the distance between them was just a hand span, Jay held both of Cissie's arms and looked in her eyes; the type of look wherein you'd lose your sanity.

"W-what? Are you kidding?" Cissie mentioned when she got back to her mind. Yes, there's a big possibility that she would like him but she didn't want to get married in this way.

"I'm dead serious about this…" Jay didn't even finish his sentence because Cissie interrupted.

"My goodness! This is ridiculous! No, I can't! You're crazy. You did not even court me, and then you'd suddenly kidnap me to marry you? No!" Cissie screamed.

The clock played its alarm. It was already 4 in the morning. Because of the loud sound of the alarm, Cissie jumped out of bed and fell. It was all but a dream! She thought it was a real thing because all the scenes were bright as High Definition display.

"Ouch, that hurts!" Cissie said when she felt the pain on her hips. She fell badly and it seemed like her hips was badly injured.

"Whew, it was just a dream. How come it was really weird. Ewww! But if Jay would really do it, why not? Well, I'd agree to him right then and there!" she was laughing to herself with what she's thinking.

"Ooops, I'm not that type of girl. I don't even know who he really is. Erase! Erase! Erase!" Cissie scolded herself and shook her head to clear her thoughts.

"Shoot! It's already morning! I should go down or else I'd be doomed again," Cissie told herself as she got up the floor.

She went down and started cooking breakfast. She hurriedly did the cleaning, thinking that her classmates might ask her to do something embarrassing again if she will be late again. While cleaning the house, she always played her favorite band's album on the cassette player. She got motivated every time she listened to her favorite songs. She even sang along while mopping the floor. It was as if she could feel Bon Jovi's song that she even head banged. Her morning routine had been like this. She head banged so she won't feel tired. She also didn't notice that the time was passing which was why she was often late. When she noticed that it was about 6 in the morning, she ran to the bathroom. Then she fed the old man his breakfast before leaving for school.

Good thing, Cissie was given a motorcycle ride by their neighbor, which was why she was early in school that day. While walking along the corridor, she saw the antagonists of her life together with her allies. It was as if they were waiting for her to ruin Cissie's day. When she was nearby, she heard Steph talk to someone else as if she was talking to Cissie.

"It's a good thing that you're not late today, Cris, or else you'll be dead again to our class adviser," Steph purposely said while looking at Cissie.

"Girl, I really came in early because I know that this is the first day of me being a tour guide. Wouldn't you be excited if you were assigned to be Jay's tour guide? If you were me, I'm sure you'd be in school at 5 in the morning," Cris, who's Steph's friend responded as if pertaining to Cissie and looked at Cissie. That was when Cissie remembered that she still had a Jay-related task to do.

"Well, you have a point. But you know that you're not fit to be his tour guide, right? You're so ugly, Jay could be embarrassed," Steph mockingly ride on and laughed.

"You're just envy because you weren't the tour…." Cris didn't get to finish her sentence because Cissie interrupted her.

"Exactly! You'd really envy me because you were all born pretty while I was born ugly yet appealing, " Cissie told the two girls who were talking about her. She even squinted her eyes towards them before running towards their classroom. Cissie really fought back as long as she knew she's right.

"Did you hear that? Grrr! This woman is really a pain in my ass. I'm going to pull her tongue out!" Steph angrily said.

"Chill! Don't rush in situations like this. Soon we're going to dump that woman in the trash. Don't be hasty, we have to find a way. Something not obvious but we are the ones behind it, and to make sure that she couldn't fight back. If you haste, your image will be destroyed. It's already destroyed anyways," Cris taunted Steph.

On the other hand, Jay arrived really early in their classroom. He was really excited for the first day of his school tour. He was expecting that there would be a fun place in his new school. Shortly, Cissie arrived. She was panting when she walked in.

"Sorry, I almost forgot about the touring. Did I make it on time?" he asked Jay while looking at her watch.

"Well, you're 5 minutes late but it's okay. We will be touring depending on what we can do within 25 minutes. Let's go. I brought a camera with me so we can have pictures while strolling around. Come on, hurry up!" He smiled. Cissie followed what Jay said. They first went to the campus backyard wherein there were lots of fruits and flowers. At the end of it was a waiting shed where Cissie's classmates often cooked meals because they were free to pick fruits and vegetables. It was a bit far from the classroom since it was the farthest part of the campus, next to the mountain, so they could be noisy and could stay long.

"This is where my friends and I cook meals when they don't have food. We are allowed to pick plants from our garden. At the same time, this is far from the classroom so we can jam here," Cissie introduced.

"Do a lot of students go here?"

"Not so. Jeff and Jun are known as school bosses. If they said that no one could go, no one goes here. The thing is, I rarely go here with them since I have to go home every noon to help with the household chores. Let's go somewhere else." The next place they went to was the campus grandstand to show Jay where sports-inclined students stay. Then, they went to the AVR, the student clubs, as well as the canteen and the school kitchen. The last place they visited was the school library.

"Come quick! I want to show the two libraries in this school. Let's go first to the new one." Cissie was holding Jay's hand while running towards the new library. She was ecstatic to show it to Jay.

"This is our new library. A lot of students come here because of free internet, for a limited time of course. Politicians also donated a lot of new books here. But I'm going to show you a secret place there. Come, let's go to the old library. " They ran down the stairs, towards the underground.

"Ta-da! This is our old library but only few students are interested come here because the books here are old and moldy. Most of the books here are literature and novels. I like this place better because I feel like I'm the only one in this place when I read here, it makes me feel peaceful because no one distracts me," Cissie happily told Jay.

"Wow, of all the places we visited, this is my favorite. All the tables and chairs are also antiques, most especially the shelves. It seems like this is the best place to stay during break time," Jay agreed.

"Come, I'll show you my private room."

Cissie and Jay went to the other end of the library where a small door was located. The door was a bit hidden so it's often unnoticed. When Cissie opened it, Jay saw a small room with a small table and chair. There was also a small sofa. Jay went in and looked around.

"How do you find the place, Jay?" Cissie smilingly asked.

"Whoa, I can't believe this! It's awesome! How many people know about this place?" Jay asked Cissie.

"Among all the students here, only I, know this place other than the strivers. This used to be the Dean's study room then had this closed down since they are now using the new library. The strivers who clean this room seldom go here. I discovered this when I was looking for a new novel. I noticed a small door covered by the big shelf. When I first opened the door, this room was really dirty and full of molds. I opened the lights and realized that I can stay here during our vacant hours. So, I cleaned this room and stay here often." Cissie related Jay.

"Can I also stay here? This is cool!" Jay exclaimed.

"Sure, why not? But, with one condition.

"What is it?"

"Don't tell anyone about this place and make sure to bring food when you come here, okay?'

"Just that? Sure thing! Promise." Jay even raised his right hand to show that he was really serious.

The bell rang while the two were happily chatting, it's the clue that their class was about to start, so the two ran out of the library and went straight to their classroom.
