Petra's POV

I'm not sure where I am, it feels familiar yet unfamiliar at the same time. Though even with the strangeness and the eerie glow surrounding everything, I felt a strange calmness over take me. As if wherever I was, I knew I was safe. It seemed like I was in a well built treehouse, one that branched off into seperate trees to add rooms. I was standing at what I assumed was the entrance, as there was a trapdoor with ladders going down to the forest floor. It was strange how there was this nagging at the back of my head that I wasn't supposed to be here and that I should leave. But the calming feeling that kept fighting my thoughts made me turn away from the trapdoor just as a girl walked through one of the doors leading to a seperate tree. As soon as her eyes landed on me a hige smile appeared on her lips, her emerald eyes lighting up, I knew who she was. That's Je-. "Petra!" She cheered, walking over to wrap her arms around me. I felt frozen for a few seconds before I hugged back, a warm feeling filling my chest. Jessie pulled away after a while, the hug being held long enough to be seen as intimate. She brushed her raven hair out of her eyes, still smiling brightly. She was so beautiful.

"I wasn't expecting you so soon!" Jessie giggled, making me tilt my head to the side. "You, were expecting me?" I question, looking around nervously. She rolled her eyes at me before scoffing, "Of course I was! Stop goofing around!" Her smile wasn't fading, but I couldn't figure out why I was here, with her. Maybe I should stop looking for danger when there is none here, just Jessie, a very pretty girl.

"Oh, alright then." I said, voice obviously laced with confusion. She sighed, looking down as she mumbled, "You forgot what we were going to do today didn't you?" Her voice was laced with disappointment, it made my heart hurt to see her like that as she was normally cheery. "N-No! Of course not!" I lied, knowing instantly that my lie hadn't been convincing. She sighed again before shrugging it off, "It's fine. You're still here aren't you?" Her smile returned and the butterflies in my stomach did the same.

Whoa wait, why is she making me feel so anxious?

"Anyway, we need to tell Olivia we're leaving." She said simply, as if we had done this a million times before. "Leaving? To to wh-" I was cut off by Jessie tugging on my hand, pulling me towards the door diagonal from the one she had entered through. I wasn't sure why but my question flew out of my thoughts. None of this made any sense, I didn't even see us go through a door, we were just suddenly in the next room.

Then it hit me. The errie glow, strange forgetfullness, not knowing where I am, strange calmness, and then the fade in to new places to top it all off. I'm dreaming.

Jessie led me through the room, which seemed to float by us like nothing. I guess this place wasn't important to my dream. "Olivia!" The raven haired beauty cheered, flopping down on the ground dramatically, pulling me down with her. "What is it?" Olivia questioned, turning around with a serious look in her eyes.

"Petra and I are going out until sunset." The girl informed, making Olivia rolled her eyes, a small smile growing on her lips as she put her hands on her hips. "Oh really? Again?" She questioned us, looking at me with a bit of a glare. I bit my tongue, keeping in a retort on the way her tone ounded all too suggestive. "Is it so wrong to spend time with my girlfriend?" Jessie questioned, her voice having a slight bite to it while still being playfull in a way. It was cute.

But wait, girlfriend? My head whipped to the side to question what Jessie had just said, but she wasn't there anymore.

It was sudden, I didn't even hear Olivia respond with anything before I was in a forest with the sun slowly disappearing behind the leaves of the trees. Jessie held onto my hand a little tightly, looking over at me with a bright smile that I wasn't really prepared for. I didn't feel it but I knew my cheeks heated up, which made her giggle uncontrollably. "You always do that!" She laughed, still grinning as she led me into the forest. It was getting darker and on impulse I reached for my picaxe, which wasn't there. I panicked for a heartbeat, knowing that mosters were dwelling in the shadows. Then we kept walking and nothing happened. No sounds of growling from the tree line, no shambling zombies, no arrows shot from the dark. Nothing dangerous. Well this was a dream after all.

"So, you really don't know what we were going to do today?" Jessie questioned, squeezing my hand softly. I shook my head. "No. I really don't. And I'm sorry about that." I apologized, screatching the back of my head out of nerves. The questions in my head swam around until I felt dizzy. Why was I dreaming about Jessie in such a romantic way? How could her smile cause my stomach to flip and my cheeks to heat up? It wasn't something I could fathom. "It's okay." She said a little sadly before smiling in a way that made my heart stop, "Then you'll be surprised." She winked, oh my gosh. This time I knew my cheeks were burning red because she erupted into giggles. "You're so adorable!"

I sighed, smiling playfully, "Have you looked in the mirror lately? You're the adorable one here." Whoa, why did I say that? Jessie rolled her eyes, though her cheeks tinted bright pink. A satisfied smile grew on my lips. Oh well, whatever the reason I said it was, it was so worth it to see her blushing. I wanted to shake this away, I shouldn't be thinking of Jessie this way, we were friends, barely even. If all that is true, then why does all this feel so good?

"We're almost there." She said, a grin appearing out of no where on her lips as she shouted, "Race ya!" Before bolting away without much warning. As if on instinct I cried out, "Hey no fair you cheater!" Before racing to catch up to her. She runs fast, but I catch up to her in an instant. Sje smiles over at me before skidding to a halt at the foot of a hill. I try to do the same but end up stumbling slightly.

Jeeze, that's embarrasing. She laughs, taking hold of my hand again. "I win again my love!" She smiles, "I hope you're not letting me win." She giggles and sets my heart into a flurry. Oh god why am I feeling this way? She took hold of my hand, leading me up the hill. "But Jessie, this is just a hill." I pointed out, making her shake her head, smiling knowingly. "Maybe that's what it looks like from one angle." She countered, pulling me up to the top, where we stood overlooking the forest. I guess we were high enough to go over the tops of the trees. It was a beautiful sight, the moon shining down with the stars glowing brightly. Looking over at Jessie had to have been the best desision I've made so far. The way the stars reflected in her emerald eyes made everything melt away. All the doubt, all the confusion, and I knew this was a dream I wouldn't forget for a long time.

"Look, Jessie, I've realized this is all a dream, and that when I wake up, we'll be friends and all this will be over." I started, while she just looked cofused, I continued, "But you should know tha-" she cut me off by putting a finger up to my lips, shaking her head. "Don't say anything my love." She was an inch away, her lips moments away from mine, "I'll see you when you wake." She whispered the words but they echoed through my head until she pressed her lips to mine. I wanted this moment to last forever as I kidded back, but as they say, the curtains close on a kiss.

......

My eyes opened slowly, and my cheeks burned red. I knew what thos dream meant now, and it made me hide my face in my hands.

I had the biggest crush on Jessie.
