Episode 3

The next day I woke up from the worst nightmare of my life. It was about me planting seeds and growing plants. A lot of flowers have grown due to my hard work. All of a sudden Cade appeared, leading a group of elephants. I was screaming, begging him to let my little flowers live, but he, laughing hysterically just went all over them, destroyed all the beauty, just before stepping on me, to which I woke up, feeling my lungs exploding.

It was just half an hour before my alarm went off, so I woke up. Having some spare time I took a piece of paper and started sketching the beautiful field full of all kinds of flowers. Just like Laura would do. I didn't include the tragic ending, I wanted to take hold of the wonder just before it was ruined.

I'm not as creative as Laura - I said to myself - but my dreams sure are very imaginative and vivid.

It was almost time to go, so I went to the bathroom to get ready. I didn't even look in the mirror that morning, I was too preoccupied with the thought of Cade showing up again.

It seems that he hides his meanness quite well from others. But I see through you, don't think I don't... Or you know what? Just think so, it will make it easier for me to crush you.

So if he says that I'm plain once more? This time I'll defend myself, I have to come up with a good reply...

That's what I was trying to do the whole morning. Until I met with Laura. She was the kind of lively, kind person that would melt any anger in someone's heart.

As we arrived and started working, I realized how big of a contrast there was between her and Cade. She had the softest heart in the world, and angel sent down on earth. While Cade was the devil himself, so deceitful and disgusting.

Ah, that's it, it's better being plain, than disgusting... better plain, than disgusting... better...

- Hey\, what's that? - Laura asked

- Oh\, I almost forgot\, these are some sketches I've done.

- Wow\, these are amazing! We should put them here\, on this wall\, instead of my drawing.

- You think so? I think they would be better for decorating small portions\, like the wooden structure of the slide.

- Hmm\, if you say so. You're the better designer among us. - she shrugged her shoulders with a bright smile on her face.

We both started to do the outlines for the flowers. A group of guys started gathering and looking at our works, only talking between themselves. As I could hear they liked it.

- Oh\, these flowers are... - I heard Cade's voice getting closer.

- Well\, it's better than being disgusting! - I exclaimed without thinking.

- ... beautiful.

Oh no, oh no. It never ends well, when I speak without thinking. And with all these people around too...
