A Beautiful Trance
I always arrive late to every single place I go, so I decided the night before this morning that I was going to be on time for my first class at 7:00 am. 5:30 and the alarm goes off, - CRAP! Can’t a girl get some sleep? -I turn the alarm off and close back my eyes but then I remember what I had agreed with myself a few hours before. I fight myself to get out of bed and as I struggle to get to the bathroom I hit my foot against the corner of the bed. OUCH!!! -I screamed in my head. Now I was fully awake. I finally get to my bathroom and start doing my morning routine, I change my clothes and get my backpack ready. Then I go downstairs to get a granola bar from the kitchen, grab my car keys and head out. As I drive to the university campus, I notice that there wasn’t any traffic, it made me so happy that I rolled the window down and let the wind blow in my face.
6:20 am and I had already arrived, I was so proud of myself. A few minutes passed and I was getting bored so I went to the library to kill time. There was no one in the building, just me and the silence. Then I remembered about a chemistry book that a friend recommended me so I go to the bookshelves to look for it. I find it and just when I reach for it I see the most handsome guy I had ever seen in my life walk past me. I stare at him like I was hypnotized with my hand still reaching for the book, then suddenly I feel something crawling up my arm. I immediately come back to sense and look at my arm to see what it was and find a huge cockroach staring back at me. A FREAKING COCKROACH!!! I screamed like a I’ve never screamed before, shake it off and run out of the library. I was so freaked out by the image of the cockroach that I crashed into the glass door. Right away, I felt a massive pain in my forehead and my body started to feel light and weak, a few seconds later I blacked out and fell into a trance. I started to see birds flying around me and everything looked oddly more beautiful, a lot brighter.
The handsome tall boy was next to me, he was smiling at me as if we’ve been talking for a long time. I ask him what had just happened but then he gently grabs my hand and tells me to come with him. As we walk out of the campus I asked him where he was taking me and he says: ‘Anywhere you want to go!’. We exit the campus and a private airplane was waiting for us. I wanted to cry from excitement. We were going to travel around the world.
We went to many cities in Asia, Europe, Africa, and so many other beautiful places. It was the best experience of my life. But the best place was saved for last, Paris. We were both sitting at a small coffee place admiring the beautiful city and then he told me that he wanted to go up the Eiffel tower. Before I could even think, we were already at the top. The terrace floor was flooded with roses and when I turn around to ask what was going on, he gets on one knee and asks me: ‘Will you marry me?’. I was so shocked. So shocked that it hit me back to reality. It was all too good to be true, how did I not realize it before? I felt the blood run down in my system and my body started to feel heavy again. Though I still couldn't think clearly. ‘Hey’, ‘Hey’, ‘Are you ok?’ I started hearing voices. – ‘She’s waking up’ – a girl voice said. I opened my eyes and found myself lying on the floor surrounded by many people looking down at me.’What time is it?’ -I asked. ‘8:00 O’clock’ the handsome boy said.
Damn! I was late to my class again.
