Chapter Twenty Three-School Dance

Hi! I found this song on TikTok and now I really like it. I thought the lyrics went really well with the whole idea of escaping to your own reality. 😌 So now I'm using it for this chapter!

Enjoy reading!

UPDATE:

BYE THE SONG WAS DELETED 💀 ANYWAYS IT WAS SOMEWHERE ONLY WE KNOW BY KEANE 😜💅
THE LYRICS ARE KIND OF MESSED UP IN THIS CHAPTER SO DONT MIND THAT

AND IF YOU HAVE GOTTEN THIS FAR, THANK YOU FOR READING

It's finally the day!

I'm kind of excited and nervous at the same time. Well anyways, flashbacks kept happening to me. I still don't recall living any of those things, but for some reason, they feel very familiar.

I put on my (Dress/Suit), and go downstairs. My mom tells me that I am going to do great and then we leave to go to the school.

The dance doesn't start until 8 PM, but I had get here a bit early so I can set up everything.

———

All of the students have arrived, and I'm almost ready to start.

Earlier, the principal thanked me for volunteering. But it's still so weird that I don't remember ever volunteering for this in the first place.

"Are you ready?" B/N asks.

I smile. "I'm very nervous but yeah, let's do this so I can go home."

She laughs. "Okay, it's time. You can step into the stage now."

I take a deep breath and step on the stage with my microphone. There is a band behind me.

They give me a three beat count and start playing.

I walked across an empty land
I knew the pathway like the back of my hand
I feel the earth beneath my feet
Sat by the river and it made me complete

Oh simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

I came across a fallen tree
I felt the branches of it looking at me

Is this the place we used to love?

Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

Oh simple thing, where have you gone?
I'm getting old and I need something to rely on
So tell me when you're gonna let me in
I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin

And if you have a minute, why don't we go
Talk about it somewhere only we know?
This could be the end of everything
So why don't we go? So why don't we go?

Oh, this could be the end of everything

So why don't we go...

Somewhere only we know?

'Somewhere only we know...'

Memories flood back. Now I remember everything. My voice starts shaking. I can't finish the song. I need to go back. But how?

'Just come back like how you went there'

I need a tulip. But how am I going to even find a magical tulip?

'Well first, I look ridiculous being on stage without doing anything so I have to get out of here'

"Hey everyone!" I begin. "I hope you're having a great time, an emergency has come up and I really need to leave. In the meantime, the band will play a song for you. Thank you!"

I run off the stage before anyone has anything to say. I push the gym doors open and go outside. I shiver by the cold breeze. It is almost summer but the night air is still cold.

'I can't believe what I'm doing'

Now where in the world am I supposed to find a tulip?

I turn on a corner and find the school garden. I have always passed by it but I don't remember seeing any tulips here. It is worth looking though.

I pass by all kinds of flowers and look at the labels but I see no tulips.

Not until, I come across some rose bushes. There is a tulip in the middle of all of them. And it is...glowing?

'What in the world? How is it- you know what, never mind'

I go towards it and touch it...nothing.

I touch it again. But nothing happens.

'What's going on?'

I pluck it off the ground and the light flashes again.

I am back in the tulip field.
