Sweet as Sugar, Crazy as Hell

Chapter 7: Dreams of the past- THE SHIPS!

He gave me a teddy bear. A small one. With a chain attached to it.

"What's this?" I asked him.

He suddenly took off the teddy bear's head and out came a blade.

"Wow! Amazing!" I said in awe.

"Use it to protect yourself." He said, "And since you chose right, I get a feeling we'll meet when we grow older."

"How will I know if it's you?" I asked him.

"I have a keychain like that too. It's a polar bear. My sister told me to bring this to you and when we grow up we'll... fight?" He said, confused.

I laughed, "Guess we will then."

He smiled and nodded, "How 'bout we use these as weapons?"

"Sounds great! As long as we don't kill each other, haha!" I said.

"I hope we don't kill each other." He muttered.

We didn't talk and I giggled to fill the silence.

"What's your name?" He asked me.

"My name is-"

"Dayana!" Travis's voice yelled.

"Dayana, eh? Nice name. Looks like someone is here to see you." He said and ran away.

Travis got to my side, taking deep breaths.

"Where's Mommy and Daddy?" I asked him, tilting my head.

He pointed at the end of the hill and I saw Mommy and Daddy coming up here.

"Hi princess. Did you scrape your knee?" Daddy asked me.

"Obviously." I said and giggled.

Daddy laughed and Mommy patched me up with a Hello Kitty bandage.

Mommy carried me in her arms.

"Are you tired?" She asked me.

I yawned, "Yup."

She laughed and we went down the hill.

Travis was behind Mommy so I can see him.

"What were you doing while I was away?" Travis asked me.

"I met a new friend and he gave me a cute keychain." I replied, "We're gonna fight when we're older."

"Really? You have such a wide imagination." Mommy said and tickled me.

I giggled, "Mom! Stop! And he's not imagiminanary!"

They all laughed, both at how I said my sentence and from not believing me.

I pouted and put the keychain in my pocket.

I forgot to ask for his name!

I woke up and saw that Kylie fell asleep in her desk again.

I check the clock and saw that it was only quarter to six.

I went over to Kylie and before I could wake her up, I saw that the keychain was on her desk.

"Kylie, wake up." I said and shook her.

She didn't budge at first so I thought I could prank her but she woke up when I was about to get one of my toys.

"Darn it!" I exclaimed.

Kylie rolled her eyes.

"Why do you have my keychain, by the way?" I asked her.

"I received a suspicious text message telling me to take it." She replied, rubbing her eyes.

"Are you stupid?! It's sus-pi-cious! How can you trust it?!" I yelled.

She laughed, "I was joking, stupid."

"Stop pretending to be funny. I'm funny." I said and snatched my keychain from her desk.

"Also, I don't know whom to ship you with anymore." Kylie said.

"What?" I asked, tilting my head to the side.

"I mean, you and Leon are definitely relationship goals but at the same time you and Oliver are sweet to each other." Kylie rambled on.

I looked at her blankly and slapped myself, too hard that I felt it turning crimson red.

"THE SHIPS!"
