A class with LaFreniere

A class with LaFreniere

One day, in Mr. LaFreniere’s English class, we were talking about a book named “The Road” and how humanity was destroyed and people eating each others. As usual, I wasn’t interested at all to the topic so I stared at the book doing nothing but staring. Suddenly, a dragon as big as the Great Wall exploded through the window of Jett 116! It grabbed me in the chest and launched away like a rocket. The claws of the dragon were cold and painful as blood started to pore through my lungs; I could barely breathe so I fainted while staring at VES right below me. When I woke up, I was lying on the floor of a cave made of crystals and on my right side I can see the entire cave which was lighted by burning animal fat. I soon realized that I was covered up with a green, sticky, and greasily material that smelled like dead fish for years mixed with rotten eggs, and cow pies. I felt light headed and the smell was making me dizzy. Suddenly I saw a lady lying next to my left. I held my breath and stared at the lady like a baby examining his new toy. The lady had long black hair that shined like Friars. She had a body spicier then the hottest hot sauce in the world, and dang, I thought she was an angel! Her skin was as smooth as a new born baby, and the skin was as pure as a pearl. Her face looked like my ex-girlfriend’s but even prettier (keep it a secret). She had lips that were as sweet as cherries, a nose so pretty that it looked like a trillion dollars’ plastic surgery, and her eyes was closed so my investigation ended. All of a sudden, she woke up, and I felt my soul cheating on me on the second I saw her eyes. It was the first time in my life when I felt nothing else but love. Her eyes were as around as the sun, and her eyes doesn’t just shines like a star but it reflexes as well. I swear I saw the entire cave through her eyes. She stood up and told me “Lay down, you’re hurt.” As her voice approached to my ears like sounds massaging it. Her tone was in a clam and peace pace, as the image of a clear undisturbed lake reflecting the mountains and trees surrounding it I soon fell back into sleep. I woke up again and the cave was dark. Feeling fresh and new, I stood up and started walking to where the light is present. There was a rock as big as an elephant which blocked the entry, I thought I wouldn’t have enough power to move it but I was wrong, as I easily lifted the rock like picking up a basketball and dropped it to the side. Soon, I was amazed by the nature of this jungle, as I enjoyed the view I saw my angel sitting next to a stream, weeping. I approached to her slowly and asked in a very gentle way “Why are you not happy?” and she replies “Nobody likes me; everyone thinks I’m the ugliest lady in the world and I’m tired of being out casted!” I tried to comfort her in my very gentle way but in my mind I couldn’t stop wondering how other ladies could look if they are better than her. Maybe they had a different kind of cultural view. I soon forgot about the other girls and we got engaged in a week. We lived like the fairy tales and it seemed like heaven. We danced, and sang every day. There were no worries. And life seemed good and God seemed kind to me. But on the four hundred and forty fourth day, my heaven clapped. There was a huge Earthquake and thunder everywhere. Everyone was fleeing while I lost track of my love. And in a spark of a moment, I was woken up by a shout “Vincent! Come on! Stay with me man!” and I soon realized that it was all a dream. I sat there with my thoughts blind, with disappointments in my heart, still wondering where my love could have been as the class ended and I stared at the sky, hoping the dragon to come again, and bring me back to where I really wanted to be.
