I stood in front of our classroom door, my hand on the door knob, and my legs wobbly like jelly. I got my heart beating so fast that my hands started shaking. Then, I took a deep breath and opened the door.

When I walked in, I saw no one. The chairs were empty, no books or bags, but the blackboard was still full of words that Mr. Lee wrote the day before. I stared at the board, reading the words GEOGRAPHY, until I heard the sound of a chair move.

My eyes swiftly moved to the direction of the sound, and I was surprised to see him sitting there. A minute ago, the classroom was empty, but somehow he suddenly appeared.

"Hey, Hannah." He said, smiling and giving me a faint wave.

I smiled back, even though I was pretty surprised. "Hey, Ben. I didn't see you there." I said.

He laughed and his laugh was like music to my ears. "I was here the whole time." He said like I was crazy, but I decided not to argue with him. "I like your hair today." He pointed out.

At first, I was confused because my hair was in it's usual way, straight down. But when I looked at the class mirror which was on the wall, it was all braided like a crown. I must've looked so surprised because he laughed at me. I didn't tell him that my hair wasn't like that a minute ago and just said, "Thank you."

Then, he stood up and walked to my direction, until he was finally in front of me. "I need to tell you something, Hanny." He said.

I caught a breath inside me because it was the nickname he called me when were kids, until he got himself a girlfriend and forgot about me. Then I remembered, that he and Cara broke up a week ago. "What is it?" I asked with my heart beating.

He walked closer to me until our faces were only inches away. "I like you." He said. "I always liked you, but Cara stopped me. Now, I found a way to get out of her prison. I like you, Hanny." He said, his green eyes digging into mine.

I smiled at him. "I like you too, Ben." I said. "I always did." Then he leaned closer, our lips inches away, and I knew that we were about to kiss.

And then I woke up and realize that it was all just a dream. A dream that in a few days I will forget because I never remember a dream permanently. I will remember it for a day, but the day after that, it will all be just forgotten.

The sun was shining from the window, it's radiance making the room orange, and indicating that I was back with reality.

That moment, I wished that the reality was just a dream instead, and the dream was the reality, because my life would've been so much better.

Ben is just a dream, and Cara is reality.

Reality is filled with cruelty, hate, and conflicts. Who wants that? Of course no one did, but it is a human's nature to cause a problem. Nobody's perfect, everyone said, and it was actually true. If everybody was born perfect, we would be living in Utopia. But then again, Utopia doesn't and will never exist, because in reality, no one and nothing is perfect, because it is nature, and there's nothing we can do about it.

Even though how much we want it.
