School

The class was watching a boring documentary video, but it was to no one surprise that this video was playing as we had a boring teacher. His name is Mr. Smith and he actually happened to be my 8th grade teacher, whom I did not appreciate. To paint a picture of him, he is bald and has a pot belly, and also only ever wears khaki pants and a blue dress shirt with a tie. In my dream I was playing with a pencil on my desk to entertain myself, but it somehow landed across the room just as a girl I do not like was throwing something in the trash. Her name is Caroline and she goes to my school in real life, but I’ve only ever talked to her a few times. She’s not a pleasant girl. I asked nicely if she could pick my pencil up, but rather than ignoring me or saying no, she picks the pencil up and breaks it in half, throwing the pieces in the trash can before flipping me off and sitting back in her seat. Me being the outspoken person I am, I immediately lash out on her in front of the otherwise quiet class. I called her words such as a “motherfucking fucker”, and “boneheaded bitch” as she looks MUCH older than her actual age, reminding me of a 40 year old woman who smokes a pack a day. She never retaliates in my dream as I was called to my teachers desk. He kept the lights off and asked me to whisper the story of what just happened. I explained her bitchy behavior and he decided not to punish me at all. At some point, the dream took a weird turn and he put his head on my shoulder for a few awkward seconds. In my dream I thought “what the fuckkkk” but just sat there to avoid any trouble. Finally the bell rang and I walked out of class happily, getting nods of approval from fellow classmates and having my 15 minutes of feeling like a badass. But it was the first day of school and my cockiness actually made me forget where to go, so I missed the bell and ended up sitting at all three of our lunch periods, forgetting the schedule for the rest of my day. I’m not sure if I was even supposed to be in his class in the first place.
