Im back at at my old elementary again. This time im on a trip from some other town, or the school is located somewhere else. I go into a classroom alone and mrs. c follows. Shes helping me look, but turns on some music. Chop suey by System of a down comes on and she acts embarrassed like it was an accident. I cant find what im looking for, so i leave the room. There is a big set of elevators as i find myself somewhere completely different. The elevators open into classrooms and bathrooms. I get onto one and go downstairs into the lobby, back at school. I realize i forgot something and go back up. As i get back on a girl walks in too, she is a beautiful american girl with light brown hair, late 20’s or early 30’s. We ride the elevator up, but this one only goes to floor 4, and is also the bathroom itself, and it shakes a ton on the way up. When it gets there i get pissed and say fuck this to myself. She agrees and gets off as well, following me to a new one. We get on and i tell her i need floor 2, same as her. We get there and walk to the same classroom. This one is full and there is a movie playing, so we sit in the back in the only 2 chairs left. We start to talk and get along very well. Our personalities are almost the exact same, and we immediately feel a strong connection. I joke with her and tease her, and she does the same. We end up kissing quickly and holding each other in the back of the classroom and i feel an intense connection with her. But Im also married, so I start to get very nervous that someone will tell her, and I feel guilty because I have never cheated on anyone, much less my wife whom I love very much. Suddenly a girl gets up to leave. The teacher gets mad, but as she opens the door there are people in black suits outside. They start talking to the teacher silently. Then he comes to me and says “im sorry, but theres been an accident with your mom.” I lose my shit and start crying a lot and walk toward the exit. The girl follows and tries to console me. As we’re walking out i say “i cant be your ned flanders,” and she asks “why? Are you seeing someone?” And i say “no, Im married,” which she agrees is a pretty good reason. But she is nice and doesnt get mad. She continues to follow me out the door. Im lost now, outside of the school, but i have no idea where to go. Im scared and confused and tell her i have to go. She tells me she loves me as i abruptly wake up.
