Cody was troubled. He couldn't get enough sleep throughout the night. He could not help rolling on his bed from end to end. The dream he had earlier had taken his thoughts. He was lucky they just finished their assessment test a week earlier or else he would not be able to tell Casey about it because he didn't know how he would react. The dream was mysterious and that mystery needed to unraveled. He wanted to get to the root of the matter but he didn't just know the manner of approach to tackle it.
The day soon visited and he got ready for school. As he got to the hallway that led to his classroom, he saw Casey. He exhaled and walked up to him.
"Good morning bro. how was your night?"
"It was fine although you walked out on me yesterday afternoon". Casey replied.
"Yes, I'm sorry about that."It's my bad". Casey said with an indifferent look.
He made up his mind to tell about the dream
"I realized I've been a freak. Let me tell you the story". He volunteered.
"Okay."
He told him every part of the dream without withholding a bit from hm.
"This is crazy". Casey said and exhaled.
"I am also confused. I can't read any meaning to it." Cody said, grimacing.
"Let's figure it out." Casey said, placing his hands on his chin. They stood for almost two minutes before Casey could snap his fingers to signify that he had gotten an idea.
"I have an idea. It's telling you that you are going to need those petals sooner or later.
"How!"When? Why?" Cody asked in a troubled manner.
"I don't have answers to all this questions but I think time will tell". Casey said, patting his shoulders.
"Okay, it's Tuesday and Mr. Harley's going to distribute the test results." Cody reminded him'
"That's true. Let's go before he makes us the topic for the day." Casey said and they both giggled.
They sat down on their desks and not too long. Mr. Harley came in.
"Good morning sir". The whole class echoed.
"It's a good morning indeed". He said sarcastically.
"Most of you performed woefully in the test so t here is nothing good about the morning. Just distribute your results after the class. He said, handing the scripts to the class president.
The results were distributed after the class. Casey was happy to discover that he made 19 out of 20 marks. He went to Cody
"What did you score in the test?" He asked.
"Not that bad, I made 15 out of 20. At least I didn't get below a 10".
"I made 19 out of 20". Casey said. Cody was surprised.
"Wow, you are such a genius. Besides, thanks for helping me". I could not have pulled it off without studying with you".
"You are welcome. Well, I heard Felix also made 19."
"Yeah, he's the smartest here". Cody commented.
Just then, Felix passed by.
"Enjoy it while it lasts, 'Manuel". He said with rage and walked away.
"The friends turned to him and back to each other.
"Cody, we just got ourselves a new contender". Casey said, nudging him.
"Yes. I guess so. I guess". He said, folding his arms.
