My Once In A Lifetime Dream

Chapter 23 Endeavor

Endeavor

The next day                              

Omara’s POV

                I came around in an alarming state when mom yelled my name because I was late for school. I looked around my room ascertaining that I was indeed in my room. That nightmare freaked me out badly. I figure that it’s trying to tell me something is coming for me, if not something will happen for sure. I looked at the clock and found out that I have less than 30 minutes to get ready and leave. That means I won’t have breakfast today.

                I got out of bed searching for my phone, which was under me. It had enough charge for the day. Then I rushed to the bathroom and did my thing and then I had my clothes on.  I walked to the kitchen in a hurry, saw my mom and dad eating their breakfast. I dashed to them to hug and kiss them, then stealing my mother’s toasts, wolfing it down to say thanks, sorry and goodbye while I ran out of the house. I ran all the way to school, when I got there, I had at least 2 minutes to go to my class. On the way I saw the girls and jumped next to them, giving them a scare. To which they both glared at me, but laughed. We gave our greetings while walking ‘till we sat into our respectful chairs.

                The morning was uneventful. Walking to my separate class I rushed the gym without looking in.

At lunch I had to look around the cafeteria in a watchful state, but nothing. I feel that things are to calm and to layback for what I feel that is coming. But still, “the show must go on like the famous use to say,” I said to myself. I went to my classes in the afternoon until time to go home came. But still, I felt something coming but it never came.

I didn’t see JB during the day, I felt sad but couldn’t afford to mess things more than it is. I did see Tina and her friends or more of her goonies. She did glare most of the time at me but did nothing.

Every day for the past month was the same, no problem nor bullying. But still, my mind didn’t forget about my nightmare and what might come.

***************

JB’s POV

                Having to remember what I went through with my girlfriend  Sam, and Tina, I really think that I don’t know how to do things to help my girl. Doing things that I think are necessary aren’t, saying things that might help them don’t. Thinking this way has been long enough. I need to do something that will save Omara from Tina. She can’t go through hardships or pain because of me or anybody else. I’ve seen how Tina acts, and what things she’s capable of doing just to have a laugh.

                I arrived at school looking for Petter and the guys. Next, with the corner of my eyes, I tried to find Omara and see if she was OK, after our little encounter yesterday I felt sorry for the way we almost killed her. Imagine a tackle for guys is painful and hard, but for girls, is a sure kill. That is why I want to see her but didn’t. I went to my morning classes and did my thing. When gym class came I was keen to see Omara pass in front of the gym to her next class,  but she didn’t. Lunch came and didn’t see her either. I got a little edgy so I walked the hallways to see if I could see her. When I came close to one of her classrooms in the afternoon, her teacher, after roll call, mentions that Omara will be absent for a few days, and if someone could help her with the handouts and notes she would appreciate it. I released a big sigh when I heard it and calmed down a bit more, so I returned to my classroom.

    For the past week, I haven’t seen Omara and I miss her a lot. I don’t know why I feel so close to her, we just talked for a couple of times. I know and I ‘ve kept my decision of not having a girlfriend ever since junior high and for the remainder of high school. But still, I want to see her hear her soft voice and feel her happy ‘vibes’ (laughing at the end). I want to know that she’s OK. Obviously, doing it behind the scenes, o specifically behind Tina. I will not give her any more fuel for her bullying. I think and feel that she’s scheming something big. I’ve seen her calculating and happy face these past few days.

    When Monday came, I was thinking if Omara would come today to school. I was walking with the guys to our first class and then I saw Omara coming out of the office with papers in her hand. I almost stopped walking and dance because of happiness,  but I came out of my almost reaction before I did anything. After I saw her my heart flipped and my eyes never left her while she was walking. During that time I saw her a bit better, but kind of scared. She took every time cautious steps.  But still, she’s fine and came back to school. I just hope things go well. And it did for the rest of the day things moved along.

    Lunch came and I was entering the cafeteria as always (talking and laughing) we sat in a table and ate. While I was eating and talking I looked around to see if Omara was here, and yes she was about to leave. I had to stop looking at her and looked to the guys, with the corner of my eyes I was watching her and saw her at the doors I think that I saw her looking my way and smiled when I laughed. It made me think if she has feelings for me, and for a second I saw myself together with her in some distant future. I gasped at that thought and shook my head sideways, like dispelling the thought. We finish eating and left our next class, but my mind was a bit stunned from my thoughts earlier. After that I took my classes without thinking of random stuff, I had to focus on class.

    It was time to go home and I decided to follow Omara to her home. Because I saw Tina looking at her.  I waited for Omara and for Tina to move so I walked further behind. To my surprise Tina did nothing just looking around and walking a couple of blocks past Omara’s, I followed her and stopped in an abandoned house. I didn’t know why she stopped their and what she wanted to be there. But I pushed it aside and went back home.
