the apple tree

I had a very vivid dream last night, one the most vivid I've ever had. It started with me and my sister Lori, oddly, taking walks in our neighborhood everyday. We'd pass by this boy's house and soon he developed a crush on me. Coincidentally he looked like the skin I made Ovid out of in my Sims game. One day he came out and without my sister's knowing somehow got me inside his house. I was a little worried that my sister would get paranoid not knowing where I was but he reassured me. He made Campbell's soup that came from a special can that was made for two people (it said something like 'two for a drop') and we both shared it in a big bowl. From this moment I got the feeling that I used to get whenever I was with my ex, Freddie - not sure how to describe it. But from that point on even though we didn't officially claim that we were an item we acted like one and I felt something really deep from him. Then he invited me to an overnight party with alot of people from school - alot of 'cool' people. At the party he was starting to get a little more carefree, especially among the girls - something I've never seen in him before. We were all supposed to go out to the mall and I remember seeing a greyhound-ish bus parked outside with indian whale paintings on the side. Alicia Fleming (someone I haven't seen since freshman year of high school irl) made a comment to me about the markings. Then for some reason I got into his parent's car which had a tannish interior- they were both in it already. I remember wondering how 8 people could fit into the backseat of this regular-sized car. Finally though we just took off - just me and his parents - and we drove around the neighborhood alot. The next thing I know I'm hanging out by the pool (I think) and my guy is talking to me over a Charlie's Angels-type speaker phone. I was getting angry with him and finally got really hurt when he asked me why I didn't go with them to the mall. I then explained that I waited in his parent's car and no one showed up. The next scene I remember is that I'm hanging out with my family by the same pool and they're comparing me with April (grr). Finally my Aunt Charlene says April's better and my mom tells me to go home and change clothes. I happily storm off and when I get to the house I don't close the door all the way and my dad comes home from work wearing these scary pink sunglasses and what looks like a white policeman's uniform. He scares the crap outta me when he opens the door. That's all I remember.

I miss Freddie, but he hasn't replied to the email I sent months ago. Maybe I'll try again...
