I wake up from a dream that brought back memories of long ago...back when I was just in elementary school.
I got up and looked at my alarm clock,"Shit!!!!! I'm gonna be late for school!"
My name is Angeline Delcour , age 16, I'm a second year student at Kunigaoka high school. I live in Kyoto, Japan.
I rush to get dressed, after which, I take one last look at myself in the mirror.
Bluebell eyes and messy, shoulder length, black hair....
Unable to stand my messy hairdo, I put it up into a ponytail, and run out the door while looking at my watch, nearly forgetting to put my shoes on.
As I run to school memories from my dream come flooding back.....
'Someday I'll become a great musician and I'll write you a song!'
That voice... It echoes in my head.
It had been years since I last saw the owner of that voice.
We were closer than true siblings....more than friends but less than lovers....not that I know much about romance anyways.
So where was I.....
Oh right.
A year after he declared that to me, just when I was about to start my first year of middle school, I moved... Not just across the country...I moved ACROSS THE WORLD!
I used to live in Texas,USA, but just like I said, I moved....TO JAPAN!
The complete opposite corner of the world.
I had moved to Japan so that I could pursue my dream of becoming a singer....at that time I was under the impression that if I went to Japan and studied there, i might get picked up by one of those studios just like in all the anime I watched(stupid I know).
Still there was that slim chance and I had a back up plan too just in case, so it wasn't a completely reckless idea.
I wanted to start a band of my own and share my songs with the rest of the world. It was a tough choice especially because it could mean that I'd never get to see 'him' again.(him being the guy from my dream). I know that he felt the same way but he still urged me to go and follow my dreams.
For a while we did stay in touch....although for some reason about 3 years ago he suddenly stopped emailing me or chatting with me at all, so right now I'm completely clueless as to how he's doing.
I sigh as I think of all the fun times we had as kids.
"wonder if he's pursuing his dream of becoming a guitarist ?" I say out loud.
I shake my head to snap me back to reality. Lately all I can think about is him, even though it's been 3 years since we stopped emailing each other. I still can't stop wondering what happened.
I reach the school gates just in time. Panting, I look around to see a crowd of people fussing over something....
'I wonder what's up?'
....But by the time Im able to go see for myself, the bell rings.
"Oh no,I'm gonna be late for home room!"
I suppress my curiosity and run to class.
