Chapter 1
My mind felt like it had just showed a flashed back but I will probably forget about it when I woke up. I saw a hand in front of me. I look up but couldn't see his face. "Who are you?" I try to say. I saw a smiled. I took his hand and he pulls me up. He guide me to a place beautiful yet felt unwelcoming and savagely. I walk forward and then….
"Haruka! Haruka!"Gino-sensei yelled. I found myself standing up when I was called. Laughter could be heard. "Uh….yes Gino-sensei," I turned bright red. Gino-sensei looked at me with disappointment in her eyes as she said, "See me after class". I nod as I sat down. Had I fallen asleep again, unnoticed? I had been sleeping in class ever since the starting of the month. I need to study hard in order to go to Saotome Academy. A place where I could listen and study about music till my heart content.
As the bell ring for the end of lesson, I waited till everyone left before seeing Gino-sensei. "You been sleeping in class again. Are you ok? Are you having nightmare or something .I'm worried about you." Gino-sensei said before I even reached her. "I'm so sorry. I never even realized I been sleeping. But I'm find," I said and I wished I could add I don't really remember my dream. I don't even know if I had one. I felt really bad not able to tell the truth to Gino-sensei. Gino-sensei stared at me real hard but give up and told me I could leave.
I went to the cafeteria to buy bread and a juice before going to the field to meet Chris, my friend who transfers here from America from the start of this year. I sat on our usual place.

I laugh lightly. Chris sat next to me and said, "I'm worried about you. What happened?" "I just….I just couldn't sleep properly at home," I said and show her a smiled. She stared at me and said "I used to think I could read you. But I trust you ". A boy came towards Chris and confesses his undying love to her. I tried to suppress my laughter. The boy went away when Chris said that she couldn't return her feeling. I couldn't hold back anymore and started to laugh. Chris started to say something about trying to stop boys from confessing to her by becoming a gangster or something.
When the bell rang, we went to our class and waited for the end of school. We walked home together enjoying as much as we can.
Before we realized the day we dreaded the most arrived. I ended up being able to hug her and slipped a note written 'I want to be your best friend forever and not lose your trust. Congrats' before she was swept by her family members and camera men. She ended up getting full marks on all of the subject exams. I went home alone and waited for the day of the Saotome Academy entrance exam. Lying on my bed of a one room apartment, I started to think the worst thing I been trying to avoid the most. Suddenly I hear a bang on the door. I walk towards the door and could see the door shook easily. I hold on to my teddy bear tightly. I try and hit the person with my teddy bear and then….
