Bowl Full of Skittles

Jan = My ecology professor

I was with Jan and we were in a field. we knelt down to look at the bugs in the grass. he asked me if i knew what kind of bugs they were. i saw that they were ticks, and told him that, he said yes and then held my arm down to the ground. the ticks started to crawl all over me and i was screaming in protest for him to let me go.

Jan assigned us all to go on a scavenger hunt. there were really random objects on there and most of them were stuff you found in a drugstore. so we went into the drug store and I started finding a lot of stuff. When the time was almost up I had found almost everything and I was proud. However I was pissed that I never figured out that a "ball composed of cotton" was actually referring to a cotton ball.
I was downtown with Theo and his mom. There was a war going on between two different sects. It was basically the beggining of a civil war. The fighting was moving closer to us and I tried to run but it was too late and I got caught in the crossfire. I had to hide under an awning with this guy while we were being shot at. I had a big bowl full of skittles with me. Luckily I didn't get hit and I ran somewhere.
I was walking through a forested area with a bunch of people including my sister Sam. One of the warring groups showed up and a representative of them said that he needed volunteers to be tied up and left for the other warring group to find. The guy picked a bunch of people at random, including myself and Sam. Everyone was afraid so they felt forced to obey. When I walked up to the rope I just held it open for everyone and they all went in. Sam however got tied up in a different group. The guy started talking and was brainwashing everyone into believing it was a good cause. He showed them all a trick to do with each other's hands and everyone was mesmorized by it. I was talking to this red-headed kid whose sister had also been tied up. The red-headed kid and I ran for it, we vowed to go back for our sisters.
We got to a house and went inside. We sat down with a bunch of kids that lived there. The kids were watching TV and didn't really seem to care that we had showed up. When the dad came in we just acted like everything was normal. The dad was too stressed out to notice that we didn't seem to belong. One of the kids had gotten soaking wet because she fell into the pool or something. We brought her up to the dad so that his scolding her would distract him while we ran for it. The red-headed kid and I were outside and running now, but my pants were soaked from the girl and were falling off, so I took them off so I could run better. The dad had now realized what we had done, and called after us saying that he should call the cops. The red-headed kid and I started hopping over fences to get away. I could kind of float and was able to glide over the fences and do tricks and whatnot really easily. The red-headed kid kept stumbling and was pissed that he was having a much harder time than me. The dad caught the red-headed kid. He put him in his car and said that they were going to go to the car dealership together. I kept running.
I got to a freeway and a big ravine. It was really hot outside and the sun was beating down on me. I walked along the ravine while I tried to decide what to do. I knew I had to get out of the area fast because the Dad was driving around, but I didn't know where I was. I stopped at a strip mall to see if I could find a map. I found one inside this place, and realized it was actually the car dealership. I figured this was the place that the dad was going to so I had to get out fast.
