The world grew blurry, yet so clear. My head filled with all this noise, like a thousand bands and orchestras playing all different music at once. Then all was still. Light perced through the darkness. I felt like everything was washing away. The life I knew. The people I saw. The things and people that keep me safe. They're washed away by peace and light. Be happy Ness and joy. A true place where I can focus. Then I open my eyes. And that beautiful world of dreams where reality isn't even apart of the dictionary. Where I could breathe clean, clear air and fill myself with joy. The place I long to forever be...was gone. It was replaced with the gym. The thousand bands and orchestras were silenced but not completely. 

"Leo? Are you even listening?" Melody, my absolute best friend, asked pinching my arm "Can you stop staring at boys and at least try to listen?"

I rubbed my arm, "I'm sorry, but sometimes I can hardly hear you and I wonder if you were talking at all so I decided that you were done and that I was finally free the wonder off into my own universe. You were saying?"

"I was saying, that I hope Johnathan will ask me to the dance that will soon to come up."

"Why do you even try with him. He obviously doesn't even know you exist." she pinched me again. "Ouch! Cut that out, I'm just telling the truth." 

"Maybe, but it's still not nice and plus, who doesn't like pinching their best friend." she flashed an evil, yet innocent, smile at me. "Anyway, I have a plan that just might help him acknowledge I'm alive and totally able to go to the dance with him!" she said all fan-girly like.

"Greeeeaaat. What is it this time?" I asked not enthusiasticly.

"Well, you know how we'll be playing games indoors today? Well, I was thinking, maybe if I win it, he'd be so impressed with me!" Im no fortune teller, but I knew that wouldn't work. Maleny had a habit of coming up with serious overbaord solutions to the easiest of problems. She could just introduce herself but no, she wants him to come to her. I honestly don't get why girls do that all the time. 'I want him to come to me. I don't want to make it look desperate.' some may say. Girl, if you are constantly trying to get your senpai to notice you, you're eventually going to look desperate. Honestly. But I couldn't say that to my best friend for two reasons. One was that she might pinch me again and two, best friend support each other. So as you might guess I had to be all in. Or at least haft in. 

"Ok Mal, I'll help you." and we shared a hug. Being in middle school might stinck but at least we were able to do fun games during rainy days. 

"Alright kids! We're playing wallball today. You may have teams until the end when it's everybody for yourselves. Don't worry I'll let you know." Mr. C yelled. Mr. C or Colt, is one of the best PE teachers we have at Loranda Middle School. He makes announcements about what game we'll be playing durring rain days.

"Find a wall and try not to die!" He yelled. Now at our school, teachers and staff promt kids to use technology to help guide you. We sometimes have tiny simulations durring PE as well. It's a total bomb!

"On your marks....Get set.......PLAY WALL!!"
