Dream Series (1): Wrong People, Wrong Time

It started out on a sunny day.

Just across the street was a small hedge with little bushes that separates two lanes. Just across from it are the places that surround the city hall as well as the city library that my classmates used to hang around. Barely at its side are some building I haven't associated with just to the right of it is...

Yes! It is the post office! The ones where we use to go.

But something's bothering about that scene... It's the part where we have to cross the hedge were the bushes are not present. It's embarrassing crossing over when you're wearing the school uniform of the one you attended not far from the place. Not also speaking that has quite a reputation across the city.

It is when the day had come when I go alone but... it's different. When Emile is not present, I'd usually walk around it like a decent person but being with him just ignites this silly person inside me that doesn't give a     when crossing a street.

This is the part where it all changes...

A sound of a whistle breaks my trance and shook me back to reality. A lady officer in brown gave me a yellow ticket as a warning... for jaywalking.

When I realized the situation, I never thought once in my life that I'd be breaking traffic and pedestrian rules that I have to be ticketed by an officer let alone caught in the act. 

But it's completely different. Beside me was Joseph, who had been given a yellow and red ticket. Also... for jaywalking. He's that tall, white guy who studied in a Chinese Catholic school. That guy who had been popular ever since summer classes began in freshman year. That guy who in anime you can call someone the school's heartthrob though I never really understood what's good about him (no offense of course). I mean he didn't really strike me as good-looking. I mean he's like one of those typical guys that I don't even understand why people make so much fuss about it. And my impression of him is that, he's got a screw loose in his head, I admit.

Other than that, WHY IS HE WITH ME?! WHAT IS THE REASON FOR JAYWALKING?!

Honestly, I had expected Emile to be with me for all those things he have done in his life for the simple fact of YOLO, which we had used a term for doing something like a gamble or something that you'd usually do once that you'll never regret doing again.

Other than my internal thoughts, the scenery had changed into the one of the city square. I was standing not in front of the post office but of a bank. Which has a pedestrian lane across from it that connects to a church.

Joseph then walks without a care in the world with the Tank. My mind went blank for that. Why is Joseph with the Tank? And why are they going to the mall?

This is simply something not my mind can comprehend.

I talked about this with Emile, and ever since then when we walk to the post office, he'd remind me of that memory of how I was ticketed when I was with Joseph which was obviously should've been Emile. My mind must be playing tricks on me.
