Dream
Bus trip with all the girls from my 6th and 7th grade
One of which I had a queer crush on(Fumié)
Me with the web-slinging ability again(Spider-man stuff)
Departing from some kind of a foresty, yet urban place in Tokyo(Tama region or adjacent; looks a bit like Tachikawa/Kunitachi, where my grandparents and other relatives on my mother’s side of the family lives, combined and fused with Futago-Tamagawa’s vibe)
From a station, very much within the 23 districts of Tokyo vibes(Probably like Kokubunji or something; suburban, almost urban)
We depart after I get with a trades company that deals with Turkey, Italy and other Mediterranean countries(Turkey, Cypress, Italy, Spain, Greece, Albania, Egypt, Morocco, Libya, Morocco, Persia(Iran, but was referred to in this dream as Persia)) that sells their food and crafts like embroidered carpets, glass crafts(perfume bottles, jewelries, accessories and lamps) and such
It’s raining, I’m floating around in the station mall(glass-roofed apses-like structure, trying on clothes from different shops around the shops and stalls in platform floor
I mainly put on street fashion wears(something I usually don’t wear) trying to combine them with different sorts of necklaces
One looks luxurious and a bit more feminine: thick, layered, braided(herringbone) chain with woven in triangular charms made of raw, purple and pink gems(amethyst and rose quartz likely) or seashells
Another looks more street-ish but is still kinda bougie: pearl choker necklace with a sleek lock charm in the center
I first try them stacked, then let go of the herringbone gold necklace and return it to the store
I find a more grungy, 80’s outfit and I pair them with the other necklace, still finding it mismatched
I find another gold necklace with simpler design
But once a couple friends(Sara, Maka, Fumié, Mariko) from the friend group(Sara, Maka, Mayuka, Fumié, Mariko) calls out to me to come and leave for the bus I stop and tell them I’ll catch up
Seems that Fumié left on a bus alone(or with a couple friends) while others got on another bus together
I websling my way through the raining parking across street lined with concrete and glass-walled buildings and get on top of Fumié’s bus, getting in at the next stop and sitting next to or in front of her seat
My other friends are looking impressed by my skills, but I can’t help but feel like I’ve sold them out for the favorable view on myself from Fumié(the one I had a crush on)
The buses travels down the road of what looks like the mix of Tokyo-Kanagawa road route and one of the most commonly used routes by students to go to school back in Hakone(aside from the Hakone Tozan Railway)
On the bus I observe my other friends merrily interact while having scarce but kinda meaningful(to me) conversations with Fumié myself, mostly about human behaviors and the observations we have made on our other classmates and friends(Fumié and I were two of the three more ‘mature’ ones in the friend group; these were things we discussed often)
Once the bus gets to Odawara many among my friend group on the other bus suggests that we go straight to the coasts of shōnan(Fumié and a few others of the group live around Hiratsuka and Hadano and such so the coast of shōnan is just a nice close place to hang around in general)
After some moments of discussion(Fumié seemed interested and detached at the same time; she didn’t care, some others were more enthusiastic, some others hesitant, worried about curfews and such because we were still technically 6th graders)
I was welcoming the idea, going with the flow(Fumié commented on that, making observations)
So the buses departs from this plain with scarce grasses and a hill over yonder while some of them wait at the bus stop to get on the ones that lead back home, some to get to Shōnan, while others remain on board
Me and Fumié’s bus fuse with the bus that comes to take us to the foasts(likely to Hiratsuka, Kamakura or Enoshima) as it starts driving
