(It's just you and me dancing in this dream)
"whatever you do, don't wake me up"

Brianna tapped her pen thoughtlessly against her ink-covered notebook. Okay, that was a lie. Questions, feelings, were all circling, crossing, wandering through her busy mind. It was bad enough Bree had just barely arrived at Shifter Academy, but final exams had her stressed out more than ever now that Summer was approaching. And on top of that, her problems at home seemed be more apparent than ever.
At first, the sudden news of her father's reappearance made her rejoice, happy to know he was indeed alive. Her whole life, wondering, hoping, praying that he would show up one day, after it all, it was finally coming true, but to be honest, Bree wasn't really prepared for it.
Why hadn't he come home sooner? And why did he leave without at least giving the slightest explanation? She knew how much it killed her mother, and how much it pained Brianna herself to not have any clue of the sort. She was pissed. Frustrated with her father. Didn't he know how much he meant to her? All she ever wanted was to know him, to see his face, but no. He left before she was even born, and now he thinks he can waltz back into her life as if nothing ever happened. It was completely insane. Did he want to meet his daughter, or not? Because if he did, he would have spared her the fricking vague, obscure letters and came to see her already. Bree hated what he did to her mother and herself. Did he even have any idea what kinds of BS she went through because he was never around?
Brianna put her head in her hands and suppressed a deep sigh, trying to piece herself together. She had to get away from her thoughts. She knew would never be able to study with her mind wandering as much as it was. Closing the text book with a thud, she stood up and turned the desk lamp off, blinking her eyes rapidly so that they could adjust to the dim lighting. Bree piled all of her notes together and stuffed them messily in between the pages of her journals.
Now what could she do to get away? Brianna didn't really know anyone at the school yet besides a few people, like Karter Orcabi or Leena Tempeste, and that was only because she had chatted online with them. She wanted a person, someone tangible to talk to, and not through an Instant Messenger. She could call her mom? No. Bad idea. It'd probably get her more worked up than she already was. Do something on campus? Like what? She hadn't really explored a whole lot. Maybe she should go and see what there was to do. Bree was sure she could find something to entertain herself, or at least someone.
Brianna skipped over to her dorm room closet and searched through the jungle-like mix of her and her roommates clothes to find something comfortable to wear. Figuring her messy bun wasn't exactly attractive, she let her hair down and combed it through thoroughly to remove any tangles. With that, she put on the outfit and slipped on her flip-flops as she headed out the door, making sure to grab her cell phone, and down the dormitory halls.
Brianna smiled as the warm summer air greeted her, and a light breeze ruffled her hair. The weather was nice. It was perfect. The sun was playing peek-a-boo behind a small patch of fluffy white clouds, and the ever so blue sky was near completely clear. After looking around for a good ten minutes or so, keeping an eye out for anything of interest, all's Brianna could come up with was the Flamingo Lawns. With a shrug, she skipped over to the mix of students socializing and set her bag down by the fountain, pulling her much loved iPod out of her pocket. Bree sat with her knees pulled against her chest, resting her back up against the water feature's wall as she popped her headphones in and began to blast her Hip-Hop and Rap music, tapping her foot along with the beat.TEMPLATE CREDIT: xoxphantasmic of Blank Pages
