I'm Rommy464

    She turned with tears in her eyes and asked, "who are you really?"

    He didn't know what to tell her, he hesitated to answer and she felt he was going to lie to her again, she started walking away feeling bad. 

    "Dream please hear me out," He pleaded, lowering his head.

    "What do I have to hear out when you don't have anything to say?" questioned Dream with a look of displeasure.

    "I promise to tell you everything if only you can spare me a little time after school so we can attended classes,"

    Dream sighed, contemplating if she should agree or not.

    "Fine," She rasped and he gave her a warm smile.

    She ignored him and started walking to class, with many thoughts on her mind.

    She was so engrossed in her thoughts that she didn't notice Mrs Meyers coming from the opposite direction with books in her arm and she collided with her sending her books flying in the air.

    The sound of the books hitting the floor brought Dream back to reality,

    "Oh my God I'm so sorry ma!" She exclaimed and bent down to pick up the books.

    She arranged them properly in her arms and curtsied,

    "I'm so sorry ma, please don't be mad at me," She apologized, "where are you headed to ma'am?"

    Mrs Meyers who had been watching Dream the whole time she was apologising, smiled,

    "You don't have to make a big fuss about it," She said, still holding the smile which made her uncomfortable.

    "I'm heading to my office by the way," She told her before she started walking in front of her making Dream to hasten her steps to match Mrs Meyer's.

    She finally met up with Mrs Meyer's and they started walking towards her office in awkward silence.

    "So how has school being? Treating you well?" Mrs Meyers asked, finally breaking the silence.

    Dream became a little annoyed and confused, she wondered if Mrs Meyers was pretending or she really didn't know about what's going on in the school.

    'Definitely not, she is still the head of the disciplinary actions squad and Romeo's issued must have being brought to her, Infact it's on her desk,' Dream thought, 'but why would she ask how I am feeling if she knows?'

    "Fine ma," She smiled at her, finally replying.

    "I'm glad to see that you're doing well," Mrs Meyers smiled too, "do not let those little boys distract your school work,"

    Dream became even more confused, 'who are the little boys?'

    Everyone treated her like an outcast, like someone who had some contactable disease nonetheless the boys who see her like a trash. They've told her several times that she was too ugly, flat and shapeless which drove her into depression, talk more about them running after her and wooing her.

    Dummy it's Romeo!

    Her subconscious mind yelled and it slowly dawned on her that he was the one she was referring to.

    "Be yourself honey, don't listen to rumours and never pretend," advised Mrs Meyers, acting like she didn't see the surprised and confused look on Dream's face, "now hand me back the books and head back to class Brooks,"

    "But ma'am—"

    "Just do what I say Dream and your Dream must come true," She patted her back and walked away.

    Dream sighed and squatted at the middle of the lonely hallway, her life used to be complicated but not as much as it right now and it was killing her. She glanced at the wristwatch on her wrist, it was almost time for the next class.

    She sighed again and head to her locker to get her books for the next class which was physics.

    Dream sat at the last seat in the physics lab, her eyes glued on the pendulum bob that was swinging.

    True, her eyes was watching it but she could not see it. Like her biology teacher would always say, she was there bodily but not soully.

    She was thinking, her brain was replaying all that happened that day and she kept pondering on what Romeo had to say.

    'Was he a hired assassin? What is his mission in this school?' she thought.

    He certainly knows the in and out of the school, even up to places you don't know but that doesn't make him an assassin!

    Her subconscious defended and she sighed, her head was making too many theories already.

    "And so the window must be shut to order to prevent draught," The physics teacher explained in a loud voice and Dream quickly jolted out of her reverie and started writing.

    In English class, Dream's head was also filed with numerous thoughts and silly theories.

    'I should stop thinking of him before my GPA drops! I'm in my final year, I need to concentrate!' she yelled at herself internally.

    'Or am I in love with him?'

    Shut up and listen! It's not love you fool, you just...

    She screamed, hitting her head and drawing the attention of students and teacher.

    "What's wrong Miss Brooks?" He asked and she smiled saying it was nothing.

    "I think she is running mad for Romeo," One of the students commented and everyone laughed.

    She could swear that he saw a glimpse of anger in Romeo's eyes before he bowed his head.

    He had not attended the first few classes after break, but decided to attend this one because he wanted to see how Dream was fairing. Indeed, she was not doing well, her face looked a little bit puffy like she cried some minutes ago and she hadn't been writing, till she screamed.

    Dream mentally slapped herself for a screaming out.

    "Miss Brooks you could go to the school clinic if you're not feeling well," The teacher offered and she thanked him before walking out.

    She was tired of the thoughts her head was making and was glad the teacher permitted her out.

    She strolled to the garden and sat down, trying to calm her nerves and before she knew it she had already slept off.

    The sound of the bell interrupted her peaceful sleep, she sighed as she opened her eyes. She was back to this chaotic world.

    She walked out of the garden, heading to her locker to get her books, so she could meet up with Romeo.

    Dream took out her bag and stuffed her books inside before heading for the elevator.

    "My Queen, why do we do her?" She heard Emma asked Elena. That girl is always bent in hurting her, she could not help but wonder why she hated her so much.

    Elena chuckled, "we should let her absorb today's drama, you know she is so fragile she might suffer an attack,"

    All of them laughed and she shook her head before walking away.

    The elevator dinged as it's doors slid open. Dream walked to the almost deserted car park. She stood beside her car, waiting for him.

    After few minutes she saw him wave at her from a close distance and she gave him a short warm smile.

    "Hey," He greeted, finally reaching were she stood. 

    "Hi," She replied, fiddling with her fingers. She didn't want to do this, but she had to, so should get answers to the questions in her head.

    The both of the stared at each other, not knowing what to say.

    "Uh—I already asked my driver to take my car home, give me your keys," Romeo said, breaking the silence.

    "Why?"

    "Do you want to drive in such state?"

    She sighed and handed him the key to her car before walking around the car to get into the passenger seat.

    Romeo drove until he stopped the car in front of a five star restaurant.

    "I always have dinner here," He explained, smiling.

    "Okay," She replied, not knowing what to say.

    She got down from the car first and waited for him to lock the car before they walked in together.

    They settled to sit close to the transparent glass wall. Dream watched cars drive past the restaurant, couples and friends walked hand-in-hand smiling and laughing.

    Dream smiled envying and wishing she had such relationship.

    "Your orders are here," The waiter announced dropping the plates of Fried rice in front of them.

    "Thank you," She smiled and the waiter nodded before walking away.

    They both dug into their food and when they were halfway through, Romeo decided to start a conversation,

    "So—"

    "Yes please tell me everything about you without lying please,"

    He sighed and begun, "I'm your best friend in social media,"

    Dream's eyes widened and she choked hearing his confession. He handed her a cup of water and she downed it's content.

    "Stop lying, I asked you not to lie to me!" She half yelled, "you're joking right?"

    "No, I'm Rommy465," He confessed.

    She was still not believing what he was saying, maybe he is an impersonator.

She started chatting with Rommy465 on I*******m few years ago with no intention of them becoming close but soon she became find of him. She would tell him about her day and he would cheer her up whenever she was sad. He was indeed her social media best friend.

    "I've been following your posts and I noticed you were either always editing it or using filters," He explained, scooping a little amount of rice into his mouth.

    "I did a little research on you and I found out that you attended this school and it surprisingly coincident with my trans—" he noticed she was not listening to him and her eyes were fixed on someone behind him so he turned to know was distracting the beautiful princess in front of him.

    Dream has never drooled for anyone before but the mini greek god chatting with girls across the restaurant broke the record.

    He had a messy brunette hair that was pushed backward, exposing in forehead and this blue eyes that stood out, complementing his brunette hair. He was lean but well muscled, his well chiseled biceps and chest were visible from the tight shirt he wore.

    She became even more uncomfortable as he began to walk towards their table with a smile which displayed his one sided dimple on his face.

    "Dream we need to get out of here," Romeo told her, grabbing her hand.

    "Why? I'm done with my food!" She replied, almost shouting. 

    "I know but—"

    "Hey Romeo," A bold husky voice interrupted him and Dream looked up, it was him. 

    "When did he get back?" Romeo muttered in fear
