Answer:
Suddenly i woke up from my dream and i didnt know exactly where i was. I could see kids in the distance but i have no idea who they are. For some reason all i an remeber was that i was in my bed sleeping. How did i wind up here? Suddently I remember who those kids were. They are my cousins tomy, jack, brian, and david. But how did i end up all the way over here? oh right i was feeling dizzy and collapsed but how come no one came to check up on me? do u really not matter to anyone? Nah that cant be it, they must have not seen me fall, but how long have i been out for? As i checked my watch i saw it was already 5 pm !! Last time i had checked it was 2 pm. Do they really not care about me? Suddently i woke up again, this time in my bed. I looked around and even pinched myself to assure myself this time i was awake. Its barley 4am. Surprisingly it was all a dream, i dont even have cousins with those names !! What a dream, it felt so real but guess it wasnt. Well now i need to get ready for school. What a boring thing that is. School has so many rules that u need to follow. I just wish i could sleep forever.
