Am I subconsciously yearning for someone to love me? I mean, someone that I can actually be with? This is getting ridiculous!

I was walking through the hallways, my backpack unusually heavy, towards my physics class. I wasn't really looking forward to having to take the exam but I knew that if  I didn't, I'd have to re-take the entire course.

I yawned as I turned the corner and stumbled backward as I ran headlong into something. "Oh my God!" I cried as I hit the floor. "Are you okay?"

"I'm fine, are you?" Lee (one of the many Chinese exchange  students) asked - his accent not as strong as what it once was - as he offered me a hand.

Gratefully, I accepted. "I think so." I winced as I stood up. My tailbone was going to be bruised. "Just a little sore."

We stood there for a moment, looking at each other - slightly embarrassed - all the while, he never let go of my hand.

"Well, I should probably-" I was cut off by his lips crashing into mine.

Shocked as I was, I found myself sinking into it. My bag dropped from my shoulder with a thud and I wrapped my arms around his neck.

"Ahem!"

Instantly we pulled apart, faces red as beets. "Candy!"

"Czarina, what are you doing?" She asked, Kelsey and Stevie following along behind.

"I-.. Uh-... We-..."

"Czarina was showing me what class I need to be in." 

I turned to Lee, his deep chocolate brown eyes reflecting his embarrassment. He must have noticed me staring because he turned ever so slightly a winked at me.

The girls chuckled. "Alright, I'll meet up with you later, Z." Then they walked away.

"Thanks, Lee." I said once the girls were out of ear shot.

"No problem." Then he grabbed my hand and pulled me towards him. My hands settled on my chest and I felt the blood rush to my face. I looked into his eyes, those beautiful eyes, and felt the blood rush up to my cheeks. He closed the distance between us and kissed me.

Then I woke up...

... I'm kind of getting sick of these kinds of dreams. I don't even talk to this guy!
