Chapter 2
We sat, waiting outside of the office, surrounded by people.
"Mona Eclair, Eli White," the nurse had called us. I got up, stiffening my back. Eli grabbed my hand as we walked into her office firmly, strong, confident. Today, we turned 18, which meant we were able to pick a dream, any of our dreams, and live in one for the rest of our lives. You had to choose carefully, one mistake and you were done, you lived in a nightmare, but that only happens once every 500 years.
This was the five hundredth year.
"Eli, step outside for a minute, I need to talk to Mona," Alison had said right as we walked in. Alison was in charge of our dreams, she gave us our dreams to pick out of, she was also 18, but she stayed 18 her whole life so she didn't pick a dream.
"Mona, you have only had 1 thousand dreams in your lifetime, and as you know, the average amount of dreams you are supposed to have is 3 thousand. Choose wisely."
My eyes widened as she explained this all to me, it was very rare, and nobody knew if there were consequences or not.
"Eli you can come in now," she yelled, just loud enough for him to hear. He walked in, slowly. "Men first," Alison said after he closed the door. He was put behind the curtain, and vanished. It would be okay, I would see him again.
"Mona, remember to pick carefully," Alison said as I walked behind the curtain. I held my breath. My head whirled as I suddenly remembered all my dreams, even the ones as a baby. In a flash, they were all gone, it was my time to pick, and I did.
"Drop everything now meet me in the pouring rain kiss me on the sidewalk take away the pain 'cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile get me with those green eyes, baby, as the lights go down give me something that'll haunt me when you're not around 'cause I see sparks fly whenever you smile" softly sang into my ear waking me up. I looked over at the clock, "9:34," it read.
I slowly got out of bed and threw on a floral dress, a little make-up, and some jewelry. My dog, Cupcake, greeted me at the stairs, "Hi, baby," I said to him in my puppy voice. I grabbed the purple leash I had hanging up and went to take him on a walk before going to work at my bakery.
"Crap, sorry!" I said as I bumped into someone, I looked up, remembering his face vaguely.
It was Eli White.
