Dream...

"Wake up!" my roommate yelled to me. She threw a pillow at me as I rolled off the bed. I hit the floor with a loud 'thump.'
"Oww," I groaned into the carpet. I heard my friend laugh as I got up off the floor. I shook my head and walked over to my closet. I got dressed, ate breakfast, brushed my hair and teeth, grabbed my bag and walked out the door.
I walked through the hallways of what used to be Warner Robins High School. I guess it still was in a way, but I remember when it was an actual school, not a prison. I shook my head and chided myself for thinking like that. It was forbidden. I walked out and down into the field that used to be Demon Valley.
"I looked around and saw all the kids being sucked into the transport tubes in the ground. It seemed like it would be a complicated system at first. There are the holes in the ground, that are about two, to 2 ½ feet wide, with these rusty, grates like covers over top of them, but they were cut into sections, like a pie. These are what helped us get from place to place. Under the grates was long expanse of tubes and pipes that sent us where we wanted to go. All you had to do was place your foot near a section in the grate, and it would suck you in. From there all you had to do was imagine where you wanted to go. These holes were scattered across the field, with a total of about fifty or so. I smiled and said hey to people I knew as I walked over to a hole and stuck my foot out to get sucked in.
I went to several different places, delivering and trading with people, and eventually I ended up back in the field. I walked over to a certain grate and practically jumped in. I was at my house in no time. The living room was crowded with people. They were yelling and calling names. I wave and say hey to everyone. It almost feels like small groups. I smile as I walk over and sit down in the big arm chair they always save for me. "Hey Bri!" several of them call. "What's up?" I yell back. We all laugh and finally get settled in. As I'm getting comfy, I remember that I've forgotten something, most likely a book of some kind. I get up and walk over to one of the 'leaders.'
"Uh.. ma'am, I forgot something. May I go get it?" I ask weakly. They point me to a snow cone stand that's in my house, mind you, and tell me to say, "Blue loco please," to one of the coaches standing there. I walk over and get one of the coach's attention. "Blue loco please," I say shakily. Jeez, why am I so nervous? One of the men nods and goes to make it, but then I see Coach Howell.
"I've got it, don't worry," he tells the other guy. He nods and walks off, the Coach Howell come out and leads me out of the room.

Suddenly were back in that same room. I assume we talked or retrieved whatever was I needed. We're all laughing and having fun, when someone gives the signal, and we all start singing. It's apparently something we do for no reason. I start thinking of Cody, how much I miss him, how much he means to me. I start sniffling and crying, the song's just so sad, and depressing. I can't help it; it just reminds me so much of him. Some of the people stop singing, but most of them continue.
"Bri? Briana are you okay?" I hear a few of the kids ask. I keep my head down and try to wipe away my tears. It's not like he's dead or anything, I think to myself. But you know he'll never like you like that, my mind whispers. I let out a soft sob. I sense someone come up behind me.
"Wanna talk about it?" I hear Coach Howell ask quietly.
"Mhm," I nod my head. He sits down and we talk. Everyone starts singing again but softer so they can hear. I tell him about the break up with my stupid ex-boyfriend, how Cody came along after and comforted me. We got to know each other and became great friends. I told him how I'd started to like him, why I missed him so much. I even dug a picture out of my purse.
"Shh, it's ok." he soothed. I didn't look up, but I knew everyone had been listening and were now gawking at me. I stood up, my legs shaking slightly. I'd intended to go to the kitchen, but stopped in my tracks. I saw him there, sitting on my piano bench, grinning this crazy grin that I loved with his hair froofed up all around his face looking extremely silly. I covered my mouth to try to keep from laughing, crying, and smiling with joy all at the same time. I couldn't help it; I ran to my room. It's an illusion, it has to be. I slammed the door and pressed my back to it.. I heard footsteps and felt the door trying to open. I moved away from it as Cody walked in. His hair's now flat and he's smiling.
"Hi," he said as he shut the door. I began walking around the room, fiddling with things, straightening them. I was so nervous. What would he think of me after hearing me say all those things? He grabbed my hand and I stopped moving. I looked at him and he gave me a small smile. "Wanna talk about it?" he asked softly. I shook my head. He sighed exasperatedly and rolled his eyes. "Come on, tell," he sat down on the bed and I followed suit. I sat in front of him and explained it all to him. All of it. He smiled again. I swear, I could watch the boy smile all day long.
"Briana," he put a finger under my chin and lifted my face so I had to look at him. "II love you. I've always felt that way about you." My heart began to beat rapidly in my chest.
"Really?" he nodded.
"Yes, really," he told me. I smiled and closed my eyes for a split second, and then suddenly I'm at the river, drawing out plans for mesh coverings to cover the cook shed. The water's up and all the smaller kids and toddlers are around the water. I start to spaz out and tell someone, and then I realize that nobody's really that worried. I shrug my shoulders kind of nonchalantly and walk over.
"Ya'll doin' okay?" I ask. They all nod and continue playing. Cody suddenly comes up to me.
"I'll be back soon." he kisses my cheek, jumps into the river and starts swimming downstream. I shake my head bewildered and the river start to go down. I see a few turtles and them, trying not to get my pajama pants wet. I finally catch one, and I grin triumphantly and wake up…
