Let me dream

I wasn't here. No, here was too boring. I was somewhere else. I..I was...running away from a dragon! Yeah! That's right, a dragon! The powerful creature was about to destroy the town but I got the dragon's attention and led it away to an isolated area where my friends were waiting for me to roll through with a trap for the mighty beast. I ran into the mountains as it roared and took off to the skies after me. Adrenaline spread through my body and my legs carried me away as fast as I let them.

Yes. This is where I was. I was full of fear and life. Doing what I wanted, what I enjoyed. This was so much better. Another roar snapped me back into the battle. I was nearly there. Nearly at the trap. I saw a few of my friends nodding at me, hidden away in the forest, letting me know the trap was ready. The dragon landed right behind me and I went flying forward, accidentally setting the trap off myself. It caught me and pulled me up, snagging one of the dragon's arms with it. So here we were, dragon entagled in a trap with me, snapping those large jaws at my small body every chance it got. What a dilemma! What fun! How frightening! I couldn't wait to see what we'd do next! How I'd get out of this alive or die trying. Would my friends help me? Would they betray me and leave me to die, but I'd somehow survive and set off on a quest for revenge?

"Isabel!" The professor shouted, bringing me back to the real world. The boring world.

"Pay attention! Or leave the class." He scolded.

"Sorry." I apologized and went back to being awake and slowly dying inside. No fear. No adrenaline. No crazy predicaments. Just school. Work. And plain, normal, boring life. A life where my friends weren't knights, or dragon slayers, or famous theives. But friends who went to school and work just like me.

The professor went back to the lecture and I looked out the window again. I don't care about this world anymore. It's lame. Just let me dream.
