i was at school and emily gave me a 6 pack of beer and i had to hide it, i hid it in the empty locker beside me. it was for brian. when i looked in my locker the beer was gone and i had an anxiety attack because i thought the school took it, but then i looked down and it was in the green puffer coat i put it in. i then went to deliver it to brian in the library, where everyone was hiding under the desk. i went over to the tables where the red booths should be, and i crawled over to brian. he had my weird bald chinese man figure i bought from sprinkles in carrying place, except it had a string of LEDs coming from its back. i didn’t want to get caught so i cut the wire and gave it back to brian, and i also forgot that emily had put those finger LEDs in the 6 pack of beer, and i figured while i wrapped it up in that coat, they all fell out. a teacher came in the library and said “emily, are these yours?” and we didn’t answer. i finally gave brian the beer and crawled around the library some more. the school was dark and only the old light of the ceiling light up the library, everyone was gone. i crawled over to a little boy playing with batman lego, he then asked me “can you find all the ones with capes?” which i did. we put the important lego pieces in a sorted compartment to help him find them. then i crawled out of the library to go catch my bus, knowing that it was pitch black out side. i walk out to see a forrest green limo outside, not my bus. i have another anxiety attack and go to the office. i also realize i think i lost my phone crawling around in the library. st. paul’s is now a hospital. i come in crying trying to catch my words to say, “can i call my mom?” which MY office secretaries say “yes.” the phones is just like the one at school, you have to press line 3 and then dial. this time i didn’t know how to do it. for a solid half hour i try to dial my mom. after failing countless times, i ask the secretary, a new one from the ones i had before, but in my dream, i thought nothing of it. i ask, “how do you call? press line 3?” and she responds with a, “yes. i will do it.”. she reaches over her desk sliding the phone slightly towards her and started putting in code. she punches in the cord phone, “%@#&” and hands it back to me. she returns to her desk chair for a nap. another half hour, the phone still doesn’t work. i go over and ask for her phone and say i lost mine. she gives me her phone and i get a wave of relief, then to find out she doesn’t have data or calling. she says, “oh. you need data?”. i search around the blackened room for a phone, while secretary is sleeping. i seem to find an iphone X in a bottom shelf of a metal cart. i open it excited to call my mom to only find it’s a samsung, and i don’t know how to use it. i get sick of it, then try roaming around hospital halls searching for a room with a phone. all the old people shoo me away. frustrated, i run outside the middle doors to now st. paul’s again, and run outside to the black damp outside. i run across the parking lot, the street, and reach a building that is a bakery. i go in to call my mom but they don’t speak english. i have another anxiety attack, this time with hyperventilating, and go to cry in the parking lot. i walk forward to find my mom. she hugs me and says “why are your even crying?” i then get in the car where faith has my iphone, playing ‘toca world’ on it the whole time. “why does FAITH have my phone?” i ask. mom responds, “ava, she can have it.” she then gets out of the car, puts faith on top of the roof, and faith holds my phone in two hands in front of her, and chucks it backward to hit the wet pavement on the parking lot. still crying, i ask, “why did you do that?!” for mom to only respond with, “it’s because we are getting any phone you want at the store up the road!” i was happy, but deep inside it’s not what i wanted out of this situation. after longing for my mom to rescue me i didn’t just want a phony offering of a phone. i ask “did it break? can i still sell my old phone? i need the money.” my dream ends with my mom frowning and i wake up with sore arms
