Shuichi Future 2031

I sat in a dim and dark cafe in Los Angeles. I was supposed to be reading a script for a new movie that I was going to be in. I was going to be a detective like in my show that was taking a break for a while. After the movie I fully planned on returning to New York to continue production. However, I couldn't focus.It had been so long since I've been in California.During high school, I lived in a small town close by called Hope's Peak.About 10 years ago my dad died, and I came to Hope's Peak on a mission. I didn't expect what I found though. The love of my life. I looked outside at a billboard of her beautiful face. She wore a bright and brilliant grin. Her blonde hair was flawless and perfect.

Kaede Akamatsu. My first crush, my first love. I remembered the way her beautiful purple eyes brightened whenever she saw me. Her voice was as sweet as honey when she would sing as she played piano. Her skin was soft and warm when she would hug me. And she always had the scent of sweet lavender. She was clumsy yet bold. Time would always freeze when we hung out. But she abandoned me and broke my heart.

My assistant Nagisa was obviously annoyed by my lack of focus. I avoided his worried glance and looked over at a teenage couple reading manga.

"Hey, can you order those teens a cake?" I whispered to my impatient assistant. I took a sip of my bland coffee and watched as he nodded. I looked outside bored and suddenly noticed a blonde woman running. She wore a purple suit and heels. Even in her heels she was moving pretty fast. From the paparazzi and loud noises I knew it was my Kaede.

I stood up frantically and ran out of the cafe. I could hear Nagisa screaming at me as I exited.

All my years of praying to see her would pay off. Sure, I plan to see her soon. I only auditioned for the show because I knew she was working on both the soundtrack and acting in it. Oh my god, I sound like a stalker. I'm not a stalker. I just really care about Kaede. I mean if having a life-sized poster of her is considered creepy then I am. Not to mention the fact that I watched all her movies and shows religiously. I'm not a stalker... I just really love Kaede.

I gotta keep my head in the game and catch up to her. I won't let her leave me behind again. As always, she could outrun the paparazzi. She always had the talent to run. From me, from her friends, from everyone. But I wouldn't let her outrun me... not anymore.

God, I sound creepy.

Now I know I complained about how Kaede was always running

Now I know I complained about how Kaede was always running. But this story begins with me attempting to outrun the cops. The manager of the hotel could tell I was a minor and called them. I had a reason to think. I didn't exactly have a home to get back to. I couldn't stay where I was. Even though I wasn't athletic at all I was doing pretty well. I stopped, out of breath and dropped to my knees.And that's when I first saw her. She jumped over me. I looked up and accidentally saw something I shouldn't have. But I enjoyed every second of it.
