Caitlin lay down and listened to her soothing voice 

"Let your mind take you back to the beginning"

Caitlin felt herself falling, deeper and deeper 

"Now let's start at the beginning"

Caitlin felt her eyelids dropping as she was transported to the past


"Good morning people. You are listening to the morning show with Caitlin. It's seven in the morning, so rise and shine you lot. And for anyone who hasn't woken up yet, here is your wake up alarm", said Caitlin putting an alarm clock next to the microphone and letting the alarm go off

"Now today on my show, I have a very special guest. His name is Barry and he is the head chef at the best restaurant in town. Now I will be interviewing him shortly, so until then here's a few songs for you"

Caitlin sat back in her chair and put her feet up. She ate her chocolate and listened to the couple of songs. She checked her watch, and rang her boss who was outside waiting 

"Where is Barry? He's supposed to be my next guest"

"Hang on a second. Let me ring and check on him"

"But what do I do in the meantime?"

"Improvise"


Barry lay asleep in his bed. He heard his mobile ringing and groaned. Who is ringing this early in the morning he thought?

"Hello?"

"Where are you?"

"Slow down. Who's shouting and why?"

"MR Barry, Incase you have forgotten you are a guest this morning on the morning show with Caitlin"

"Damn. I forgot. I'm coming"

Caitlins boss rang her back 

"Barry is late"

"What do you mean late?"

"I think he just woke up"

"So what am I supposed to do?"

"Improvise like you normally do. Your so good at it"

Caitlin went back live on air

"Welcome back listeners to the morning show with Caitlin. And now it's time for my interview with MR Barry. But there's a little problem. He can't be bothered to be here. That's how much he values your time. He doesn't care if you spend thousands on a dish of his. He doesn't consider you important enough to grace with his presence"

"Caitlin, what are you doing?", said her boss to himself 

"Also here's another thought. Have you ever wondered why he hides away in the kitchen? Like maybe he's really ugly and we would all faint if we saw him?"

Barry was on his way in his car when he heard all of this. He angrily rang the studio

"What's she doing? Why is she insulting me live on air?"

"Don't get cross with me. It's not my fault that you forgot to turn up"

"Put me through to her. I'll deal with her"

"Okay. But be careful. She is not in a good mood"

Caitlin picked up her extension 

"Hello?"

"What the hell do you think your doing?"

"I'm conducting my interview"

"But I'm not even there yet"

"Not my problem"

"What's your problem?"

"I hate latecomers. Because of you my show got ruined"

"Who cares? Who even listens to your show?"

"Really? No one listens? You watch what I do now to you and your reputation"

"Thank you for listening viewers. I'll see you tomorrow"

Caitlin put down her equipment and hurried out of the room. She quickly walked home and grabbed her bag

"Mum, I'm off. See you later"

"Wait one second", said Carla, kissing Caitlin on the forehead 

"What was that for?"

"It's your first day at your new college. That was for good luck"


Caitlin walked to her new college. She was taking a variety of different classes in the hopes of landing something she enjoyed. She loved her morning job, but that was only for the morning and she didn't know if she was going to do it forever. She entered the college and looked around. Which way did she have to go?

"I'm telling you mate, she's out there somewhere. And one day she'll come up to me by herself and say......."

"Excuse me sir, can you tell me the way to the science lab?"

Barry turned around and froze. She was here. The girl that he had been searching for. The one in his dreams. Caitlin looked at him and clicked her fingers 

"Excuse me? The science lab. Where is it?"

"I um"

Luckily his friend stepped in

"Miss, down the hallway, first door on your right"

"Thank you"

Caitlin walked away, leaving Barry in her wake. Barry just stared at her

"What's wrong with you?"

"It's her"

"Who?"

"The girl in my dreams. She is here"

"Are you sure?"

"Remember what I used to say? She is beautiful without even trying. Wherever she goes, she leaves people staring at her. She is beautiful inside and out"


Caitlins eyes shot open. What was she seeing? Why was she seeing him? Did she know him? She got up

"Are you okay?"

"I need to go"

"But we have not finished"

"I'm done. I have got to go"


Caitlin ran out. She ran and ran until she couldn't run anymore. What was happening to her? What had she just seen?
