Episode 3 : When Nightmare Turns Real

It was still dawn. I woke up this early just because I had troubles sleeping the whole night because of some petrifying nightmares all night long. To be honest all these nightmares were centering him. So I didn't had a sound sleep.

The nightmare was like....

I came back home after classes and due to feeling so much lethargic, I was about to fall as sleep on my bed. But all of a sudden someone knocked at my door. "Who the hell has arrived at this hour?" With eyes of full sleepiness, I somehow managed to open the door. Without asking about who it was or checking through the looking glass, I opened the door at once. It’s, it’s Geoffrey here, standing at my door. Without any second thought I tried to slam the door at him but failed because of the pressure created by his muscular arms against the door. He entered my apartment, slammed the door with a huge noise and locked it up. He started to approach me and I was going backwards. At one time he pushed me against the walls. Slowly he was leaning closer and closer. I was trying so hard to push him away but failed.

I woke up when I was trying to push him away.

It was a such a lucid dream. I woke up in a jerk. My heart was racing like it’s about to come out of my chest. My eyes were wide open. I was sweating all along even though the air conditioner was still operating. After a while when my heart came to a stable condition, I tried to sleep but that nightmare didn’t let me sleep at all. My whole night spent like a cat on hot bricks.

Even after getting fresh, I still felt so drowsy. I washed myself, took my breakfast, then headed to the bus station. I reached my destination in half an hour. I was walking like a dummy towards my class with no sense of surroundings. Suddenly someone pulled me aside, in a corner, so that no-one can see us. It was Geoffrey! He was wearing a perv**ted smile all through his lips.

"So you are Tessa Watson, right? Now we met in reality. Pretty cool. Didn’t expect to meet me so soon, did you?"

"Stop your monkey business. Are you out of your mind? Or are you got drunk last night?"

" For your information, I don't drink even though I'm a spoiled rich kid. And you know the best who's doing monkey business here."

Realizing the depth of the situation, I tried my best to avoid his questioning by saying, "Move aside. I'm gonna be late for my classes."

"Before I let you go, lemme show you something."

Still pressing me against the wall and blocking my way by placing his hand on my right, he took out his phone. With my utter surprise he showed me my avater and last night's chatting with him on IMVU.

Holding the phone facing the screen on me and with a snigger on his face, he said,

"You are too dumb, girl. You wanna trick me by turning your avater into a s**y one then saying those seductive words in the private chat room but you forgot to change the look of your avater. Tch...What a poor little bunny who dared to trick a cunning fox. A friendly piece of advice for you. Next time you tryna trick me, better change your display name and looks."

Then he let go of me. But I remained like a statue who was staring at him.

When he was about to leave, he turned around and said, "It'll be best if you open a new ID to trick me next time."

When I felt everyone was rushing as the class gonna begin, I came back to reality and joined those rushing pupils.

Today I again took a sit with Vivian. In breaktime, we were taking snacks. I especially prepared some chicken sandwiches for us. Vivian liked it very much.

She said, "Wow, Tessa. Your cooking skills are quite good. Can you tell me how you prepared this?"

"Come to my home and I'll teach you how."

"Gimme your address. I'll visit you when I get spare time."

"My pleasure."

I gave her my address and asked her if she have any problems on her way, she can call me straight away without any hesitation.

The class being over, Vivian started to pack her things up. We gossiped for some time when we were getting ready to go home. All of a sudden, a handsome guy called for Vivian. She got excited that she couldn't wait to go out to him. "Wait, I know him. He was the one with Geoffrey yesterday when they were playing basketball. But his name is...?"

I asked Vivian, "Who's he?"

"He's one of Geoffrey's close friends, Ron."

With a delighted smile she added, "Guess I'll also be the centre of attention if I be your friend."

Again Ron asked for her saying, "Why are you delaying? Pack your things up later."

With a hurry she replied, "I'm coming."

Then she asked me to pack up her things for her. She left in the speed of light leaving her desk a total mess.

After I organised all our things, I searched for her here and there then found her talking to Geoffrey and his friends. They were looking at her with fierce glances. They seemed to guess my presence so one of them looked at me fiercely. I left the place as soon as possible and waited for Vivian at the exit with her bag. After a few minutes, she came running to me, took her back and ran away again.

Before leaving, with full anxiety, she only said one thing to me, "Take care, friend."

I asked her a number of times, "What's wrong? Trust me, I won't tell anyone. You can freely explain anything to me."

But she replied nothing to me. Her anxious face made me worry more. After she left, I saw them walking towards here. So I also quickly ran away as I don't wanna get in front of Geoffrey again.

I came back home with full anxiety along with tension so I fell on my bed all jaded. Soon I fall asleep. But all of a sudden someone knocked at my door. "Who the hell has arrived at this hour, so damn disgusting? Oh, it must be Vivian," I murmured. With eyes full of sleepiness, I somehow managed myself to get my bed and went to open the door. Without asking about who it was or checking through the looking glass, I opened the door at once. "Am I dreaming again right now? Is it real?" I slapped myself. "No I ain't dreaming. It's, it’s really Geoffrey here, standing at my door." Without any hesitation, I tryna slam the door on him but failed because of the pressure created by his muscular arms against the door. Leaving the door wide open, he entered my apartment, then slammed the door and locked it up.

Now only me and him alone here. It's so awkward to be alone with a guy in an apartment at night. He started to approach me and I was going backwards. At one time he pushed me against the walls. He was standing in such a position that I got no chance to escape. He started to lean closer and closer towards me. Not finding any other ways, I screamed out loud saying,

"What are you gonna do with me?"

He whispered into my ears with a perv**ted smile, "Someone told me that she'll be glad to spend some glorious nights with me. She also said that she'll be all mine. So I just came here to make all her dreams come true."

Hearing this my eyes got wide open with shock.

"Shocked, right?"

"I ain't. Let go of me. I've no will to spend nights with you."

"Oh, my jinx. I should've makeout with your avater back then. But, since I came here, I'm not gonna go without having some fun, am I?" I tried so hard to push him away but all my attempts failed. Seeing my straggle to break free, unexpectedly he loosened his grip. He said, "Forget it. I'm not on my mood today."

He headed towards the door and opened it. When he was about to leave, he said, "Don’t open your door like this unless you are sure of who it is."

When he was gone, I felt so relieved but fell on the floor. "Wait, isn’t it what I saw in my dreams last night? It really came true!" With dozens of questions spinning across my mind, I fell asleep lying on the floor.
