~These short stories are mearly dreams I have had and thought they should be interesting to tell. This is my first time journaling them so it might not be the best.
Disclaimer, dreams change midway but I'll do my best to keep a steady pace ~

I found my way to a school, the building stood tall and proud as if it were bound in eternity. Never ageing, as it watches the many generations of students come and go.

Walking through the entryway it appears that this is not a school that I have ever seen before and yet somehow these pathways felt so familiar as if I have once wandered them before.

It was sunny out and the heat was comfortable on my skin as a cool breeze flew past. The russle of the leaves shook gently on the trees producing its own unique music that only the birds seemed to hear.

Wondering among all the students. Many ages gapped yet they all seemed to belong to one place.

A boy seeming fairly young appeared to be afraid to voice his pain and frustration at a fellow student who was bullying him, as he kept smacking a long thin branch against this younger boy's bald head. The bully seemed to take pleasure in causing discomfort and humiliation to the other boy. Laughing as he continued to beat the stick over and over again.
I stood witnessing it all, and a feeling of guilt and sorrow washed over me.

That may be because I knew how he felt being too afraid to stand up for himself, afraid it will make it worse.

I could not take it anymore, I yelled out to the kid telling him to stop or I'll do something about it. Realized now that my words had not sounded threatening at all.
Turning my head to the left I saw the bully's mother, she had given me the most dissatisfied look at the way I had spoken to her son.

I simply walked away.

Going to one of the classes for the day's lesson chose to sit near the back.
I felt bored waiting for time to go by. Just watching the clock slowly tick away.
As the bell rang the students eagerly got up to collect their belongings to head to their next class. I on the other hand have no idea what class I have next.

Everyone seemed to know where they were going but I felt lost, no one was able to help me and it seemed everyone had to go their separate ways, they seemed to notice my misfortune and began to laugh, so I ran away.

Wondering the hallway it looked dim but still bright enough to see, the old lights were on setting a soft glow against the walls. It didn't look like the kind of buildings I was used to, it reminded me of a time long before my own. Dark wood seemed to fill the hallway that was full of doors, locked doors.

As I reached out for one of the handles a student placed their hand on my shoulder causing a cold sweat to race my body, I thought I was alone.

I turned with a start to find a girl with thick golden locks and ice-blue eyes.
I had never seen this blond-haired girl before but she still gleamed at me.

Her smile was warm and charming as she said she had been looking for me after I ran off and that we had PE together. I finished school about 5 years ago but here I am late for my PE class and of course, I forgot to bring my gym clothes.

This strange blond-haired girl proceeded to take my hand in hers, guiding me away from the doors and rather towards our next class.

We walked through so many twists and turns that I lost count, dodging students who seemed to fill any walking space in the corridors. The crowd got thicker and the air a little harder to breathe, we split in the crowd of people and it feels as if I am in a maze, lost on the school grounds that seem to be channeled with dead ends. I had lost sight of her.
