So here's chapter one!
Chapter One: The Dream"It was a very strange one. One that I've never had experienced before. It was really weird, not in that sense, but somehow it was like, like it was real. Confusing though but that time, I felt that it had happened or maybe will happen one of this days.
See, I was in a strange place like well honestly it was like heaven," she croaked with a half smile although her audience remained silent.
She went on, "Everything was so beautiful and so perfect. I saw myself walking down this path when suddenly I found myself looking at the ground as different paths appeared out of nowhere. Some led to my left then to my right and others in front. And to where the paths led I saw different kinds of places. Mountains, deserts and rivers as such, I started to take a step to my left when suddenly something happened or should I say something had spoken."
"What is it?" with an eager look, Rina speculated.
She frowned. "I didn't saw what it was exactly but somehow, I've felt it was a guy. His voice was so soft and gentle like a melodious song. He told me that he was just behind me, telling me he'll just be there. Then I turned my head to face him out of curiosity but as soon as I was about to face him fully, a light glowered so bright that I even felt my eyes sting. I finally found myself wide-awake and my nasty little brother was poking a flashlight in front of my face. And as you all know, you know what happens next."
Rina grinned, a dreamy look evident on her face. "Could it be that dream is a sign that you're dream guy is just somewhere out there?" She looked around the classroom and at the students mingling with their group. "Maybe he's just here! Imagine at this same room with us! Or maybe he could be your dream guy!" and she pointed her finger at Hiroshi across the room, who was known to have a crush on Eri.
Eri shrugged. "I don't know."
"But it's just a dream though. Dreams mostly are just a person's thoughts. It doesn't really happen in real life." Yuri pointed out, the most down-to-earth person Eri had ever known in her entire life.
"Maybe."
But she soon found herself flooded by fantasies that somehow, somewhere, her prince charming is just there with his white horse and sword battling with the enemy and the witches, and whoever is to get her out from the tower.
She sighed.
Just the mere thought of it brought a frown to her face. That would never happen though.
"Speaking of your dream guy, here comes your REAL dream guy," Rina poked her laughing all along with her remark.
Just at that instant, Sendoh came walking inside their room with that usual grin pasted on his face, nodding to the girls who greeted and flashed him a smile.
Eri sighed inwardly, getting jealous and at the same time lonely at the girls who caught Sendoh's attention.
But suddenly, out of the blue, Rina nagged her and she looked up to see a pair of beautiful blue eyes staring at her—and smiling at her!
She nearly fell down from her seat but finally got her balance as she gripped the side of her desk. What will I say? Should I say hi? Should I wave at him? What should I—
"Hey!" Sendoh even smiled broadly, waving his hand at her direction.
Eri finally got her muscles in the lips to form a smile, with her hand rising above the air, about to wave back. When—
"Thanks for the help yesterday, Kaji," Sendoh blurted and her world fell flat…on her face. Behind her, she heard a deep voice yelled back. "Anytime, man!"
She brought her arm on her desk, feeling disappointed and embarrassed all of a sudden. On her right, she heard the loud fit of laughter coming from her two friends who have witness the scene.
They'll have a week to remind me of this.
"I'm very awfully sorry to say this to you Sendoh, but you have failed the test," their Math sensei informed him, waving a paper with a huge red 'Failed' written above it.
"Failed the test??"
"You heard me correctly. It's either you study and play basketball or not study and not play basketball," he said with a satisfied smile on his face.
He really likes to see his students go down his shoes, begging for mercy, Sendoh thought fearfully.
"So it's time to flex those muscles and get serious to your studies or you will not play ball."
"That's quite easy," he replied and started to stretch his long arms in circular motions. "See, I'm flexing my muscles. Learnt it in practice when—
"I did not mean your muscle but the muscle in you brain."
Sendoh grinned apologetically. "Hehe, I know. I was just kidding."
"GET OUT OF MY ROOM"
He blinked as he stood at the hallway with his paper in his hands. "What's his problem? Old people nowadays can't seem to take a little joke," he muttered then stared at his paper.
He stepped inside the library, examining his paper and looking for some sort of miracle that will somehow increase his failing grade. Unfortunately he found none.
He sighed and took a seat in a silent corner and started to finish the extra schoolwork he was given.
Scratching his head in irritation, he had solved the first one five times for almost thirty minutes yet all his answers were different from each other that tells that he's doing it incorrectly. He glanced around the room, hoping to find an angel who will tell him what to do.
Well, he found none only the same quiet girl he had recognized earlier smiling at him for no reason at all. Right at that moment, she was reading a thick, almost as wide as his fore finger, History book and was even having fun reading it.
He hesitated and stared at his notes and sighed. He walked over to her table and tapped the girl lightly on her shoulder. But she didn't react or even turned to face him.
"Huh, I recognized that you were in my class and just wanted some help in here," he said and showed her his messy solutions.
Still the girl, with a faraway look in her face, didn't budge. He saw a smile was dancing on her lips. What in the world…?
He waved his hand up and down in front of her eyes. "Hello? Anyone in there?"
Boring ne? but that's the way first chapter goes! ^_^ anyway I do hope you'll review!
