Nial's Point of View
"Because I love you."
I woke up when my alarm clock rang. I reached for it as it was placed on the table near my bed and turned it off. I slowly opened my eyes but closed it again because of the sunlight penetrating from the window, I was dazzled by the excessive light. I close my eyes again as I remember my dream. I dreamed of the woman again. I sighed deeply.
Did she hear the last thing I said? And why does it seem weird? He seems real. Can I see him in person, or will we really just meet in a dream?
"Nial, get up, you’ll be late!” I heard mom shout from outside my room.
“Yes mom,” I shouted back before she entered here and hit me again.
I got out of bed and went into the bathroom to take a shower.
Shit! I'll be late for class! I quickly got off the tricycle and ran to the gate of my school. Fortunately, I was able to enter before the guard announced that no one would enter because the gate would be closed.
Huuuu! I glanced at the time and saw that my first class would start in 5 minutes so run so fast that I almost flew down the aisle to the stairs.
I shouldn’t get caught late because we have a test today!
“Ouch!”
I was running so fast that I didn't notice the woman coming down the stairs so I bumped into her and we both sat on the floor. She dropped all the things she was carrying so those were all scattered on the floor. My adrenaline worked fast because firstly I was really late and secondly, it was embarrassing to whoever this woman I bumped into. He also seems to have been hurt by the fall.
I quickly stood up and so did she. I was stunned as I helped him pick up the scattered papers she had dropped.
“Oh miss! I'm sorry I didn't notice you, I'm really sorry.” I told her over and over again as I helped her.
'ARE YOU BLIND? YOU ARE NOT LOOKING! NEXT TIME YOU LEARN-- 'She hadn't finished what she was going to say when she finally looked at my face.
I was stunned too when I clearly see her face. My world stopped. Sounds cliche but, damn. I can't be wrong, that's her. The woman in my dreams. The image of her is still fresh inside my mind, so I am certain that the woman in my dreams is now in front of me.
I didn’t know what to say and how I would feel. We stared at each other for a few more seconds before I noticed that we both seemed stunned and didn't know what to say. The shock on her face was also obvious. Why? Does she know me? Does she see me in his dreams too?
“Shit dude! I've been waiting for you. You really should go to our classroom”
We were both surprised and stopped staring at each other when Blake suddenly appeared, of course, I almost forgot I was late. Argh! I looked at her again but there was still a trace of shock on her face. I wanted to apologize to her again but no words came out of my mouth until Blake pulled me into the room.

Camerron's Point of View
“What? The man in your dreams is here at school?!”
"Shut up, Claire, lower down your voice, everyone can hear you, eh."
I covered my bestfriend's mouth when people looked at us because of her loud voice, we are in the canteen now and I told her about my encounter this morning with the man who looked like the man I always dreamed of.
Until now I still can't believe it, I still can remember the last night that I dream about him, and now, I saw someone who really looked like him. Who doesn't go crazy, right? It's like I'm just asking if I can see him in real life. I didn't think that God would answer my question right away.
“Maybe they just the same face? Look, the man in your dreams is your schoolmate, wow! That’s kinda impossible, tho.” Claire shouted loudly while removing my hands on her mouth.
“I hope so, Bessy, but I feel like she knows me too. If you only saw how he looked at me earlier… omg! It's really different. ” I feel like I’m going crazy. I cover my face using my hands out of frustration.
'Who doesn't even know you? You are very beautiful. I think everyone knows you, eh ” she continued.
“I guess you're the only one who doesn't know the students here. Since you moved here to this school, you have been absent very often. You've already missed so many events. ” She just kept talking but I didn't seem to be listening.
My mind is still wandering, everything feels right yet impossible.
We just continued our meal and then went back to the room for the next class, the whole session I couldn't even focus properly because I was thinking too much about that man, maybe he just looks like him or maybe he is really that man in my dreams..
Is destiny playing games with me?
