Dream starts off, it's night, I'm in a familiar neighborhood and I had just been to a street concert with a childhood friend I haven't seen for a long time, I'm carrying my college back bqck on me, it's loaded entirely, gushing as it barely has space to contain another grain. The bag is strapped to my shoulder and it's heavy, it pulls back on my shoulders. I for some reason run away from the concert and I'm near the house of someone I used to love but not anymore (I recently talked about her so my brain's fixated again). It's night still and I reaqqlly reqllly have to pee. There are public bathrooms right below her apartment, it used to be a kingergarden but now it's a bathroom I suppose, a very fancy one. The entrences are properly fenced and the doors are black and heavy, there was like a airlock separator, you put your shoes outside on a black carpet and then you can go in and out on some slippers from the shelf (as if this is a hotel, while it's a public bathroom. In the middle of nowhere) I took my shoes off and went in, tucked em in the corner, they were as black as the carpet and in the night's sky with barely any light, I knew it was going to take someone time to find them back among the other mysterious load of shoes that were there. And I say mysterious because a second later I walk in the second airlock heavy door into the bathroom, it's lit dim orange lighting. Everything looks fabrished and brand new, leveled doors from mohogani for each concrete fenced stall, and the shower too. I don't remember why but, I couldn't pee there, I was painfully holding it... I ran outside, didn't even have time to take my shoes... I estimated the time in my head judging by tgeoutside- it felt like a 11:30pm night kinda feel... Shouldn't be people outside right? I go to the nearest bush and try to pee.. When a girl starts coming down the pathway.. "ehhh fine ill pee somewhere else" in my head, I hold back my pee and run back through the public bathroom, so I could come out of the other side and pass that girl figure.. (it's very dark I couldn't see her face) So I go out the other exist and there's a children playground, those new ones they build nowadays instead of parks.. It's fenced alongside a big open garden that separates the pathway from an apartment building. I went off to the side when I'm half concealed but no quite enough, suddenly 3 kids start climbing the fence pretty close to me.. There were 2 girls among them, ages 7 to 9 approximately, they didn't notice me yet but I don't want to take the chance of scaring some kids. So I zip back and turn around away from them, I start going towards the apartment of that girl who I loved and ended on bad terms with. I still had my backpack on. I said fuck it, she broke my heart I'm definitely peeing on the grass inside the parimeter. So I go in the entrence, very dark. I can't see shit but I can tell it's not like it is in reality.. The building is a bit different, the staircase took you around to a big round hall, with all the doors pointed inwards, a common stracture for those temporary *we couldn't afford a hotel* kind of place you'd stay in on a school trip. Anyway. The round hall had some open bits facing the outside, it was on guarded by small red fences that a grownup could easily jump over without putting much effort-- I start peeing.. And it's going well.. It's taking some time... Just as I finish up the business I see through the fence a few figures coming my way.. They're silhouettes still but I recognize two of their voices... 2 of them were in my class, surprisingly the girl who lives here wasn't one of them.. And the third one I don't know, but as they got closer I saw her face while she was passing below a street lamp. It's very dark, I don't want them to see me and they're too close to the only entrance and I'll 100 precent bump into them even if I try to leave right now.. So I go up the stairs, hide. I go up to the last 4th floor of the apartment building, thinking I have a chance they'd go in her house before they reach me. As I reached the 4th floor they were already on the first flight of stairs.. But there is no place to hide, it's literally just a open hall... My only option is to use the lack of lighting. I go on and sit on the floor, holding my legs to minimized the area of my body.. Too bad I still have this giant ass bag on my back... I face a wall that is contrary to the direction they would face as they theoretically go up the stairs and into one of the doors, a sensable thing to do I'm sure. I ball up and wait. I can hear them getting closer, girl chatter, laughter and hushing when it gets too loud. Hoping they wouldn't reach my floor, but they just did. I was nervous and I could hear my own breath.. They are passing behind me right now,I'm Holding my breath now, can hear my heart clearly now... I could make out their distance from me using the sounds of their footsteps, I closed my eyes and visualized it in 3D, hoping no one would notice a silent figure in the dark... It seems as like 3 of them passed.. I hear footsteps far and a door open.. And then suddenly one of them says towards my direction "Are you coming..?" and then quickly went in the house leaving the door open. My thoughts had a millisecond to ask themselves "did she mean me?? No way.. She wouldn't be so casual in a situation like thi-" Only to be interrupted by a chick's voice: "yeah just a second, I'm coming". My heart skipped a beat because that voice was definitely close behind me, I didn't notice the footsteps so she must've just stopped halfway through and didn't move.. I'm facing towards the wall, can't tell if she's looking at me or maybe at her cell phone.. I chose the safe route of staying silent. A few seconds of silence. I feel a breeze on my neck, along with a feminine exhale sound. Did she just do this. What. I didn't want to turn around so she won't see my face.. Even tho it's very dark, I was in class with 2 of them so there's a big chance of whoevers behind me to know my face. She quietly speaks out, sounds a bit excited(? Why) asking me to turn around. Obviously it was easy for her to make out that I was around her age.. But I was ready for screams if I go detected... After realizing by her voice that she's the third girl, the one who had never met me, I allow myself to turn around, she got weirdly close to my body, keeping in mind this situation. I raise my hand without letting out a voice, making a gesture to forward my thoughts "please don't say anything" followed by a very silent "shhh" only she could hear for being so close to my face. I can't help but think she took this suggestively and sexually by her reaction and body language, but SHE WAS INTO IT. She put her hand on my body and slid it to my hand... I mean.. She was cute and definitely passed my standards but.. I just wasn't in this kind of mindset right now. I in return let her hold both my hands, still not saying a word, my face is pretty well concealed by darkness and I don't know how much of it she could make out in the dark... I guess enough for her to not think in ugly because otherwise she wouldn't be doing this right? She was definitely desperate, but I can't blame her, loneliness hurts and I too find myself wishing for someone to just appear so I could hug and take comfort in at night... It was cute for the 5 seconds it lasted, but then I heard the footsteps of her friend approaching while she's calling her name... The girl turned around for a second and I used that opportunity to slip out, I leaped to the outside of the fence, now hanging from 4th floor with a heavy bag on the good ol' trusty broken fencing. It was easy to see a route down through those fences, the floors were pretty close together vertically and I've done harder things in the past, the adrenaline surge definitely made it look more do-able in my mind too. I just down from 4th floor to the third, catching to fence below me before I build up too much momentom, and repeat. The girl was looking down to me, "Nooo don't do this don't go!" "noooo please" But I kept dropping down. "NO WAY IN LETTING YOU ESCAPE" she shouts, followed by fast, angry footsteps spiraling down the stairs, echoing in the building. I realized I'm getting chased.. I had no shoes on still, I ran as fast as I could... Again, this bag was weighting me down so much and my legs already hurt enough from walking with it... I ran to the bathroom first door and try to find my shoes.. Took me only a few seconds luckily. I didn't even put them on.. I don't know what I was wearing instead but I was bare feet.. I never looked down to check. I just grabbed my shoes and ran towards the neighborhood I used to live in back in the old house. I thought I lost her for a second but the. She came out running out of a corner, yelling stuff like "You're not running away from me" and "I'll eventually catch you" I thought it was really funny, and I was complimented, I kept running away with a smile on :) I reached a really reqlly steep part, (which wasn't there in real life its just my brain making things harder) And I could feel my legs slowing down, it was so hard goi g up that with the bag on.. Like hiking with all the camping equipment stashed in your back. I look back and she's slowly closing in.. I was nearly over this steep part.. I was even using my hands to help myself.. That's how steep. I manage to pass it, I look back and I have this hench of letting her catch up.. I think about it seriously for a few seconds... dream ends.
