Hey guys. So the wait for the second chapter is finally over. Enjoy.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
I froze. Haku? Haku. The boy from my dreams, the boy I thought was just a character in my mind, was real. His perfect sea green eyes and dark hair. Everything was the same as in my dream.
"I…I'm," I stuttered.
"Hi!" Hana interrupted. "I'm Hana and this is Chihiro. So you're new?"
"Uh, yeah. I used to live in America." Haku replied. He wouldn't take his eyes off me and I felt a blush creeping up my face. My face felt hot and I still couldn't manage to let out a single syllable. Instead of looking him in the eyes, I stared at the ground hoping he would tear his gaze away from me. He didn't.
"Cool! I hear that the theme parks there are endless! So you want to sit with us and our friends during lunch since you're new?
"Um. Sure? I guess. Where do you guys sit."
"Oh. Don't worry about it. You'll be able to find us from a mile away." She looked like she was about to say more when the bell rang and everyone rushed off to class. "See you at lunch!"
It seemed like forever until the bell finally rang for lunch. As soon as the bell let out three loud rings, I raced to the cafeteria and sat at our usual table. I searched everywhere for a glimpse of Haku and when I finally found him, I shouted out his name as loud as I could. When he saw me, he smiled and immediately started walking towards me and Hana. As he made his way to our table, I thought of things to say to him anything. When he finally reached us, everything I had been thinking of had cleared his way out of my head.
I finally managed to stutter, "H…Hi Haku. S…Sit down." I gestured towards an empty spot next to my friend Ryuu.
"Thanks!" He replied in a cheerful tone and sat down. He faced Ryuu and introduced himself. "Hi my name is Haku. Nice to meet you."
"Mmmm," was Ryuu's answer. He was not much of a talker.
As Hana introduced the rest of our friends, I just stared at Haku. The resemblance was so strange. He has to be the boy from my dreams. But how do I know him? Suddenly, I realized that Hana had been talking to me. "Huh? What did you say?"
"I said," Hana repeated as if it was exhausting, "can Haku come over to your house with us?"
I thought it over. My parents would be out shopping for useless stuff again so I wouldn't have to get scolded so I finally said, "Sure, why not?"
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
My next class was art so I hurried over to the class and started painting. Without meaning to, I realized that I had been sketching a portrait of a glistening turquoise dragon again. A girl was riding it on its back looking as she would burst with joy.
"Wow. Nice painting."
I whipped my head around to see the owner of the voice to see none other than Alan Yamamoto. Hana was right. Alan was hot. He had amber eyes and dark hair that framed his perfect face. He had blinding white teeth when he smiled that made me melt.
I thanked him for the compliment with difficulty and tore my gaze away from him to continue to stroke the mane of my dragon with soft strokes until I was finally satisfied. Next, I started filling in the background, a starry night with a glistening lake below reflecting the night sky above.
"You know," Alan said, "I was thinking maybe you and I could see a movie sometime, like on a date? What do you say?"
I thought about the suggestion and realized that I hadn't been going on any dates lately. In fact, I hadn't been having any fun at all lately. Finally after pondering over the thought for about a minute, I finally replied, "I say, sure. It'll be fun."
"Great, pick you up at 6 on Saturday." With that, Alan turned back to his own painting because the teacher was giving us disapproving looks.
I went back to my painting with a smile on my face. I was going on a date with Alan Yamamoto. What could be better than this? But at this time, I had no idea what I had gotten myself into.
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
So what did you think? Bet you have no idea what will happen next, do you? Well, neither do I. What should I do? I'm having writer's block. Waah! . Bye!
