Chapter Two: A Dream Come TrueShe could see fire and thick plants surrounding the castle and nearby, as she gazes out the window, she saw a battle was taking place.
"A battle for me," she swooned.
The army in black is fast losing the fight and the white one, led by a mysterious handsome prince sitting on a white horse, thrust his sword in the air in victory.
She could feel happiness overflowing within her and smiled in anticipation as the young prince galloped towards the fire and slashing the huge plants blocking his way towards to where she is. She brushed away the dirt on her dress, fixed her hair and patiently waited by the locked door in her room for her prince to come.
Her prince with those clear blue eyes like the color of the sky and lips of a velvety red rose. Those perfect chiseled face and rugged hair yet so soft to touch. And a smile that is simply hard to resist. She can't wait to see him!
Finally, that seems like centuries of dreaming what he looked like, the door burst open and she found her prince wearing a yet very familiar grin on his face. He finally took his golden helmet off and instead of the rugged hair, clear eyes and sexy smile, a pointed black hair that mysteriously resist gravity, deep blue eyes and a matching laughing grin emerged.
Could it be…
She sighed.
…Sendoh?
She sighed once more as her dream came to an end. It couldn't get any better if ever her prince might be her Sendoh. She smiled then and decided to finish reading the book and stop fantasizing about any thing else.
She opened her eyes and widen in shock as a pair of deep blue eyes greeted her right in front of her face. Her mouth fell on the floor, completely flabbergasted.
That killer grin appeared once again. "Finally! After about a few long minutes. I just wanted to ask you…"
"WAAHHHHHHHHH!"
She gradually loses her balance, cutting his sentence, and fell to the floor along with her chair.
"KEEP QUIET"
She heard the librarian yelled at her but the thumping of her heart is no compare to it. Her heart seems to have been bouncing and bouncing on a trampoline along with her head.
"Hey are you all right?
The girl opened her eyes again and stared hard at him then later on shook her head in disbelief. "No way."
He blinked as she reached out and pinched his cheek. "Ouch!"
"Oh my goodness! This can't be true! He's really alive!!!"
"Of course I am. I wouldn't be talking to you if I'm dead."
She lay on the floor again and closed her eyes. "I'm just dreaming again. Stop fooling yourself Eri and wake up now."
He blinked at her in confusion. "I just came over to ask you about this," he told her, flapping his notes at her face.
"Huh?"
He chuckled. "Well, I just need some help and since were classmates, would you care to help me in this? That is if you don't mind."
If you don't mind! If I don't mind! I've been dreaming of this since I was just inside my mom's belly!
"Uh, sure, if I could just get up from this—
Suddenly, Sendoh's arms encircled her and brought her, along with the chair she was sitting on, to her feet.
Just having felt those strong arms brushed against hers make her wanting to fell down again on the floor.
And then he circled his strong arms around her and swiftly took her off her feet. He smiled down at her and she could feel all the oxygen in her lungs evaporate. Then they rode in his white horse to the disappearing sun over the horizon and she could hear the angels singing songs down at them…
"Earth to Eri. You're dreaming again!" Yuri complained. "You're totally in love with your dream guy! I can't believe it."
She just sighed.
"You're absolutely hopeless. Look at you, it's like you're in a different world. I might find you someday looking like someone from outer space," Rina told her.
"It's just romantic…"
"Oh brother! If you really wanted to find your so-called dream guy, then you should start having dates and socializing with people, you know." Then her eyes sparkled just like the sight of a dreary sky when suddenly a lightning struck you in the middle of the earth. Totally scary.
"I know!"
Eri made a weak smile. Here comes another of her 'wonderful' ideas.
"Why don't we set you up with someone? You know like a blind date or something. It could be fun and that way you could—
"Hey Eri!"
Rina stopped in her tracks as the three of them gaped at Sendoh walking over to them with his usual devastating killer smile pasted on that heart-braking face of his.
"Thanks to your help again! I also passed the retake exam!"
Rina and Yuri exchange glances and stared unbelievably at her.
"That's great!"
He grinned and walked back to his place when he stopped and turned to her again. "Are you free tomorrow?"
Eri could feel her bones melt at the spot. She wanted to shout at him, "Yes! Yes! Yes! I am absolutely and will always be free…just for you Sendoh-san!" But probably not. Instead she nodded.
"I also need some help in History. If you have time though."
"Sure."
"Great," and he walked away.
She wanted to sing alleluia at the top of her lungs but seeing that some of the girls in the room were shooting daggers her way, she stopped herself.
"And what's going on with you and Sendoh, ne?"
She blushed. "Oh that? Nothing personal. I'm just helping him in his studies. You know those kind," she said and stifled a fake laugh.
Rina, still unsatisfied with the piece of juicy gossip she had just witness, smiled wickedly at her. "Really?"
"Really." And she blushed even more.
"Oh, I see," and Eri sighed inwardly in relief. "About your blind date, Yuri and I finally thought of one. You see, his very cute and we thought that maybe he might be the one. Don't worry it's a group date so nothing to worry about, ok?"
She just smiled as Rina's mouth went on blabbering and blabbering about her going-to-be blind date because just thinking of being with him once again brought her to dreamland.
"And I present to you, my brother's one and only true friend, Ikegami!" Rina announced as she clapped her hands and her blind date emerged from the house. "And this is my good friend, Eri."
Eri fake a smile as she noticed that her blind date is one of their school's basketball team, which reminds her more of Sendoh.
"Well, there's twelve members each team and five players will have to play in the court. There's this free throw line, three-point line, sidelines and so on. In the field goal, when you shot there, you would only get two points but beyond the three-point line, you'll get three. Also as the players finally had the ball, they have to shot it for twenty-four seconds and if not, there would be a twenty-four second violation…"
Eri sighed inwardly as Ikegami explained to her the rules of basketball. With one last sip, she would finally finish her soup while his was still untouched.
"We'll be playing for the championship this year and of course, we got the best point guard in the whole prefecture. None but the best, Sendoh Akira, who—
"Eri!" Rina exclaimed as the soup spilled from her fallen spoon and scattered at the table.
"Uh, sorry. I didn't mean to," she muttered and wiped the puddles of soup on their table using the table napkins. "I really didn't…I'm sorry…I…"
Rina shook her head. "Never mind."
She sighed inwardly and sat back on her seat as the damaged is finally fixed. Ikegami went back to his talking as the night went drag and for some reason it has something to do with a certain guy whose hair must have contain gallons of gel or maybe glue for it to stand upright.
Just tell me what you think! Oki doki??? :D
