Surreal, she thought. She did not want to commit suicide, it never ocurred to her. But she did have a cat, Mr.P, who was now lying with his fat furry belly turned to the air. She also had refused one unrefusable proposition, as in the dream. But those weird people dressed in green was really an unusual happening in her dreams, since she always dreamed about planets falling down on earth, she meeting her idol, she going to places with people she liked...
She was not that interested in the dream - what really hadn't got out of her mind was that god damn proposition.
'He just asked me to make him a little happier that night, and I couldn't give him', she thought. 'But he still won a lot from me'. She shivered, remembering all the body contact which she hadn't been able to pretend not to like. The way he hugged her... the way he took her bangs out of her face and finished the movement by passing his hands behind her ears until her chin. The way, and that was the best part, he fondled her face while she was trying to pretend to sleep - he had had the guts to pass his fingers through her lips for a second, which she had been waiting and was really thankful for. Warm and soft hands, just as it should be.
That ethereal night got to and end, even she wanting it to last longer.
The first time they had seen each other was in the beginning of the year, bot were in the first year of the same school, but in different classes. She was not sure when they first talked, but it was clear in her mind the first significative talk they had had. She saw him in the mess hall of the school, he was alone and she was with a friend. They invited him to join them. While they were in the line waiting to get their food, they started to chat. She had really felt affection for him, not in a passionate way, but she had had the certainty he was a nice person. That being, she asked him his astrological sign.
"Try to guess it" he said.
She got it right in the first guess. 'That explains the affection'.
That happening really shocked her. 'How could I guess it??'
Everytime she passed through him in the corridor she said hi and he answered with a very weird and funny hand movement - it wasas if he was scratching an someone's invisible back. And then she started to greet him like this, too.
She was not in love. Atraction and love had nothing to do in her mind. But some times atraction can be really strong and dangerous. She was stronger, she knew that, but she didn't want to be. She wanted to surrender.
