This is dedicated to my extraordinary twin sister Emily :)

As Rick walked down the corridor full of pimply teenage students he noticed a girl walking up ahead of him. She was wearing a light blue polo shirt, white shorts with a cute pair of light blue canvas vans. Her long wavy brown hair gracefully hugged her shoulders as she walked.

"Hey wait up!" he called, but she didn't respond. Rick quickly fasten his pace to a bit of a sprint, to catch up to her. He lightly touched her shoulder, which was as smooth as silk from her polo shirt material.

She quickly turned around to look him in eye, but paused for a moment when she saw them. His wide blue melting and divine eyes. They looked so adorable and cute, as if a puppy begging for his favourite toy.

"Hi" she said shyly, looking a little confused.

But he didn't respond he was too mesmerised by her features, he had to take a moment to even think straight. She had a perfectly symmetrical face, with not a single pimple or zit in sight, which surprised him considering they were both teenagers. Her eyes were the most amazing shade of emerald, that seemed to glow and shimmer in the light. Along with the most beautiful eyes he saw the longest lashes. Above were perfectly curved eyebrows that seem to follow every contour of her eyes. Lower down was a narrow bridge and pointed tip that made up her nose and lastly was her mouth. Words could not describe her lips, they seemed to tease him, without them even saying words. They were a shade of strawberry pink that it made him want to kiss her. Her entire self made Rick want to spend every second, minute and hour of the day with her.

She was simply captivating.

She was still a little confused at the odd body staring at her. "Uhh... Ummm... Can I help with something?" she asked awkwardly. But he still didn't respond. She started worrying and started shaking him lightly.

But suddenly the picture faded and was turning into a black screen. "No!" he shouted "Wait!" as he eyes flashed open to see his mother looking over him.

"Wake up Richard, it's time to get up. It's your first day of school today remember?" Martha said as she shook Rick awake. "What?... Who?... No! Five more minutes mum." as she threw the sheets to the floor. "No way, kiddo. You have to get to school earlier today, Miss Bourke has to give you the run-down of your new school." as she drew the curtains open.

Immediately the strong sunlight beamed through the windows onto Rick's bed, causing him to wake up instantly. "You don't want to look like a lost child, searching for it's mother as you walk through corridors looking for your classrooms. Do you, Richard?" she asked standing by the window sill, looking out to the neighbourhood. "No, mother" he said glumly as he hopped off the bed and onto the hardwood floors.

"Good, now go take a shower and get dressed. I'll put of a bowl of Captain Crunch out when your ready." she said as she walked out the door.

Rick quickly grabbed his vintage blue Hooligan short sleeve shirt, Salad Days skinny jeans, underwear and a pair of socks.

As he was entering the bathroom he thought to himself 'Who was that girl in my dreams? I've never seen her before, but she was so beautiful.' he quickly dismissed the thought and the dream. And began thinking of the long day ahead him that was high school.
