Nightmares. Normal dreams. Both things that Jefferson was almost entirely detached from as someone who either had lucid dreams or none at all. Which lead to his immense surprise at the dream he had last night. So real, yet he had no control. As he sat in bed, staring at the ceiling, he thought over the 'dream' in attempts to recall anything. Only a few watery faces, melting together under what he could only assume to be the effects of whatever it was he had yesterday. Whatever it was that was in the dream made him wake up in a cold sweat. Gross.
It was at that particular moment that he heard the light rapping at his bedroom door and groaned a bit. "Yes, mom, I'm awake now!" The knocking stopped promptly and scuttling footsteps could be heard moving from the door, as if scared off by his presence. Finally getting out of bed, he scratched the side of his head.
"Damn I'm sweaty."
After a ridiculously uneventful half of an hour spent getting himself ready and dressed for school, Jeff headed out. His mother attempted to offer him breakfast, but he waved it away. "Nah, don't wanna weigh myself down too much today." After stepping outside, he slipped a loose cigarette from one of the pockets of his messenger bag and attempted to strike it lit with a lighter. Unfortunately, it wouldn't work no matter how many times he sparked the flint.
"Damn.. cheap, cheap." He flicked the cigarette to the ground and stepped on it, wasn't even worth keeping. Jeff stuffed the lighter into one of his pockets. With a swift motion, he hiked the messenger bag back onto his shoulder and grabbed the long-board he typically rode to school. He slid it onto the ground, carefully, those wheels were wearing thin. With a light step, he got onto the board and began to kick himself forward. Perhaps he'd stop at that one cafe, the one someone in band said was pretty cool.
Taking a moment to remember where it was, he then rode to the establishment.
Upon reaching the cafe, he noticed a few people that he somewhat recognized from school but no one that he'd kick down a wall to talk to. But he DID hold open the door for a girl that he noticed was entering. D-something. Or maybe it was an A..?
Ain't important, Jeff. It's just a courtesy, you're not gonna make friends or any shit like that.
