I open my eyes
SOPHIE: What about you Lina, any plans this weekend?
Where am I now? Why are Sophie and Julia in my dream?
I look around
I know this road; we are in my neighborhood
I look at my watch, it's 6.40 pm. I must be on my way back from work
I look at them
Please let it be a good dream
Why is Sophie looking at me like that though?
Oh yes, the question
What was it again?
Right, my plans this weekend! ... Quick, make something up
ME: Oh I don't know, probably just chill, go for a walk maybe.
JULIA: You should go and check out this new coffee place that just opened near Thomas Park.
I am not sure about any Thomas Park, but ok
JULIA: My boyfriend went the other day, and he said that their matcha cake is to die for.
ME: Yes but I still hate matcha Julia, remember?
Geez girl, how many times do I have to tell you
JULIA: Yes, and I still think that you should give it another try.
SOPHIE: I think that matcha tastes like medicine.
ME: Well, I am definitely not going to waste my weekend going to a coffee shop anyway. Sorry.But not sorry
I have more precious things to do
Wait
Where is Julia?
I look around and she's gone, only Sophie is left. And she doesn't seem to notice
ME: Sophie, where is Julia?
SOPHIE: What do you mean?
ME: Julia, she was just there!
SOPHIE: When?
ME: Seriously?
She doesn't seem to understand
SOPHIE: I don't understand.
VOICE: HELP!
What was that?!
I look around when Sophie takes me by the arm and pulls me behind a bush
SOPHIE: Get down Lina.
What is going on now?
ME: What is going on?
SOPHIE: Look!
