It was nighttime and I still couldn't sleep. I shouldn't have kissed him. I shouldn't have kissed him. I shouldn't have kissed him. I shouldn't have kissed him. I shouldn't have kissed him. I shouldn't have kissed him. I shouldn't have kissed him.

How can I face him now? Each time I would see him, I would think of this. Really I shouldn't have kissed him. I shouldn't have kissed him. I shouldn't have kissed him. I shouldn't have kissed him. I shouldn't have kissed him.

I shouldn't have kissed...

'Matt, honey. It's time to get up or you'll be late!' my mom knocked at my door.

I looked at the clock and saw 6:45 am... 6:46?! I didn't even notice time had passed. How could I stay awake at all my classes? I didn't even slept a minute!

Coffee, sugar, energy drink, coffee and some more coffee. Yeah that sound unhealthy as fuck.

I groaned as I stood out of my bed and rubbed my tired eyes. Maybe I should pretend I'm sick... It wasn't like I could go to school like that. Yeah that sounded like a great idea.

As I went down to the kitchen, I nearly killed myself like five time. First, I nearly fell down the stairs, next my sister opened the door so fast next to my face that I fell on the ground... Etc. And when I finally found mom, I sighted in relief.

'Mom?' I asked lightly feeling a headache coming.

'Yes honey what is it? Breakfast will be ready in a few minutes.' she answered still cooking.

'I... I don't feel good. I didn't slept well all night and I feel funny.' I said with a raspy voice.

My mom rapidly turned around and put her hand on my forehead. 'Yes, you're a bit hot. Here take some medicine and go back to sleep, I'll call your school.' she said as she took the phone. 'And I have to go to work soon too, so I'll let your dinner in the fridge you'll only have to hear it up.' she said with a smile.

'Thanks mom.' I smiled a bit and took the medicine.

When I was about to get back up, I was hearing my mother talking to the phone and...

There was another small male voice. It wasn't father, he already went to work.

'Matt... Matt... You have to wake up... Hurry or it'll be too late... Matt hurry!' the small voice said and nothing more.

Was I starting to hallucinate? I thought I was really sick now or the lack of sleep was showing. I rapidly went back into my bed after closing the door and the curtains. I curled into a ball under my blankets and fell asleep.

'Matt, you should hurry!' said the same little voice again.

'Who are you? Where am I? And how do you know my name?' I ask confused.

'Who I am?
Some try to hide, some try to cheat, but time will show, we always will meet.
Try as you might, to guess my name, I promise you'll know, when you I do claim.

I will come to your loved one if you don't hurry.'

'What is that supposed to mean? And my loved one?'

'Time is ticking Matt and my time here is done, I'll see you soon if you shall fail.'

'W-wait! Don't go I have so much questions!' I said out loud with a hand up like I was trying to reach someone or something.

I groan and rub my eyes. I looked at the time and saw that it was already 3:47 pm. Then I saw a white piece of paper on my desk.

I always clean my work space perfectly, so it was impossible that I left this paper there. I stood out of my bed and was about to throw the paper away when I saw something written on it.

'Some try to hide, some try to cheat, but time will show, we always will meet.
Try as you might, to guess my name, I promise you'll know, when I do claim you.

Who am I?'

Really? Wasn't that in my dream? H-how did it went here on my desk? Am I still in a dream?

I pinched myself and it didn't work. So I slapped myself hard, so hard that the smack sound resonated in my room.

'Okay I'm not in a dream...' I said to myself looking back at the paper like it would move at any moment. 'What does this riddle mean?'


Try to guess guys! Who may that be?? Here's the riddle again.

Some try to hide, some try to cheat, but time will show, we always will meet.
Try as you might, to guess my name, I promise you'll know, when you I do claim.
Who am I?

Good luck!!
