It’s happening again. My eyes are twitching in astonishment. I'm reliving my 5th grade year. Geez, I thought I had out grown this. I’m standing in the middle of the hallway, in my house, staring at this deformed dog-like figure. I remember like it was yesterday, my best friend, my buddy. It’s been 6 years, but it can’t be. He wasn’t supposed to come back.
I close my eyes and open them…no one is there. I must be losing my mind. I’m stressing too much. I have 4 more papers to do plus pre-cal homework and its only 8:22 PM. I yawn. That it explains it too, I’m tired and so sleepy. I can be hallucinating. Yeah that’s it, I’m hallucinating. I head to the kitchen table and start one of my papers. I stumble on the computer keyboard trying to figure out what to write about while my little cousin is doing his homework with my favorite crayons right beside me. I can’t concentrate. I keep thinking about my old friend.
As the time passes by, my eyes slowly start to close. I’m still sitting on the table trying to figure out how I am going to extend this paper. I gave up and my head crashes onto the computer keyboard. I black out. In my dream, my old, blue friend kept walking back and forth in my head. His hands were behind his back like if he was waiting for me or something. Then the lights, in my dream, kept flickering. I had a flashback of when he and I went to go share a piece of cake. Wow, good times. All of a sudden, the scene flushed away like a toilet flush and I woke up.
I was late to school that morning. I threw on some sweats and a sweatshirt and rushed my way to my first period, U.S history. I tried to stay awake knowing that we were going to have a test on the lecture my teacher was giving out. Sadly, I failed and woke up to the sound of the bell for dismissal. I walked outside the building and just my luck, it was pouring! I dropped my stuff, when the tardy bell rang. I looked up and no one was around. Everyone was inside and in class. As I walked to the front office, I passed someone, but I could not make out who it was. Out of the corner of my eye I noticed this creature following me. I started to run and he started to run after me. I tripped over my stupid shoelace face first. I turned over to lie on my back and this thing started to lick me. Geez, what’s going on???? I’m going insane. This is definitely not my week. I finally, push the sucker off of me and wipe my eyes to see what was on top of me.
NO WAY!!!
“Hi friend, I’m Stitch.” That little monster scared the living day lights out of me. I could not believe he came back.
“Stitch! What are you doing here?” As scared as I was, I was still happy.
“I missed you. They said I can stay.”
“That’s great! So were you following all this time?”
“Jess. I’m sorry if I scared you. I didn’t know how else to approach you.” Stitch’s head was down like he was ashamed. I grabbed him and hugged him and took him to Starbucks. We shared a marble cake plus a vanilla bean Frappucino. We talked about what we have been up to for the past 6 years. Obviously, things have changed, but I got reunited with my blue, small, dog-like creature alien friend.
