A Dream
There was something behind him. Alex knew it. As he shut the door, he felt his heart pumping fast. He reached in his pocket for his key. Everyone knew that Alex was a coward and he was suffering from his personality because all his classmates had been laughing at him since he was very young. In this situation, he was so nervous that he couldn’t find his key.
“Hey.” While he was embarrassed, a lightly voice called him. Alex was frightened because it was deep night and everybody would be sleeping. He turned around but there was nobody. “Everything will be OK.” Alex thought and tired to clam down. “I’m here.” Alex couldn’t believe his ears and when he turned back slowly, he saw a girl stood behind him. It was a very ugly girl with no nose. She was just like a ghost. Alex was astonished that he couldn’t move a step just stood there. “I’m not a bad guy.” The girl told Alex in a friendly voice, “Trust me. I won’t hurt you.” Though she was very ugly, she had a pair of genuine eyes. Seeing these eyes, Alex believed that she was not a bad person. “Who……..Who are you?” Alex became opening his mouth but still filled with fear. “I’m Tina, I need your help. I’m under chasing!” “W……..What?” Alex was confused and he didn’t know what she said. “Please help me, please!” The girl was crying, “They are coming! Help me!” A group of people shouted outside the house. Alex was very fear but he knew that he should help the girl. “Follow me!” Alex guided the girl go through the house by a secret passage which he built before. However, the people outside set fire to the house. They were trapped in the burning house.
“What should we do?” said Tina anxiously.
“I…I don’t know.” Alex looked down and he tried to avoid the girl’s eyes, in fact, he was afraid to see the genuine eyes because he was so cowardly.
“Please help me! Only you can save me!” The girl was screaming, “Please help me.”
“I…I know there’s another way to go out but …”
“But what?”
“I’m not sure that we can get out. I…”
“Nothing. I trust you. I believe you can save me.” said Tina, smiling at Alex.
“Come with me!”
This time Alex was not weak and he didn’t know how and where he got the power to do these amazing things. Anyway, he made it.
After a long time, they got a safe place while the sun was rising. “There is always light at the end of the tunnel.” Tina said happily, “Thank you for your help, Alex.” Alex turned to Tina. To his surprised, the girl who used to be ugly became very beautiful. She had long fair hair, big blue eyes and a cute nose, wearing a white skirt with so many flowers around her. The flowers spread their fragrance far and wide.
“Who are you? What is that for all? How do you know my name?” said Alex, “That’s unbelievable!”
Tina smiled, “Dear Alex, I’m flora. You saved me and I’d like to make one of your dreams come true to show my thankfulness. You can tell me.” Alex was shocked again. It was really beyond his wildest dreams because this kind of situation just appeared in novel.
“I…I want to be brave.” Alex whispered.
“You have already become brave, Alex. You are the hero.”
“I’m the hero? No.. no..”
“Of course yes! You save me and you can conquer all the difficulties by your wisdom and your courage. ”
“Alex! Alex! Wake up! It’s time for school!” Mother shouted.
Alex opened his eyes and he realized it was a dream. He suddenly jumped up because he knew that his dream had already come true.
