Jon-Vincent--Deja Vu


12:30 PM, I finally awake. Being very late to school, I decide to wait until the periods over. I get ready, then finally head to school. As I enter my car, I drive listening to my playlist, “Late”. I feel the irony setting in as I finally reach the front of the school. Upon arriving, I go to my 5th period class. The door is locked, and nobody’s inside. So I wait for the bell to ring and having nothing else to do, look for my phone. It isn’t there. I guess I just left it at home. As I sit patiently, for an hour, I hope the bell to already ring, but it doesn’t. I find this very weird and I begin to get anxious. I frantically look for my classes, all my teachers, classmates, nothing.
After an hour of searching, I just give up. I look for my keys, but only an unusual one is there. I’m scared at this point, and I start running towards the gate. It’s locked. I climb the gate but no matter how hard I try, I can’t. I keep searching, looking for a way to get out. The sun begins to set, my fear grows worse. Unbelievably I feel no hunger, no exhaustion. 3 days now and I try to climb the gate once more. I fall and I hit my head.
It’s 12:30 PM, I’m at home, awake. I try to wonder what happened in my dream but it slowly deteriorates. First thing to come to my mind “I’m late for school”. I grab my keys, then head towards it. I go to my 5th period class but it’s closed. My dream comes back with a punch. I attempt to get out of the school but it’s impossible. 3 days pass, it’s about 5 minutes before I fell from the gate the last time. I stay away from it. Before I knew it a freaking tree falls on my head, along with a key.
12:30 PM, again. Being late, I head to school. Once through the gate my dream becomes apparent once more. I search. Progress, I find a key to the gate. I try to open the lock but it doesn’t work. I also put in the keys from my previous “adventures” until the gate comes falling down onto me. Through every adventure I find different keys, hoping to get out with the right one.
12:30 PM, I awake...

  2. This is the kind of stuff nightmares are made from. Hope you don't ever wake up that late for school. I think you're voicing a fear many of us have experienced through the school years.
