Stolen Heart, Endless Dream

CHAPTER 1

Have you ever wonder, what makes us dream about a person that we don't know yet feels familiar? In other words, 'stranger'. The dream that feels strange yet so close to you that it happens everytime. Every night you dream of the same dream of the same person. That stranger. I always get that dream but then when I woke up, the person that I've had dream of is a stranger. Someone that I don't know of. Not my friend nor my colleague.

Every morning, when I woke up, I'll always gets on to my side table to grab my notebook and wrote down everything that I remember from my-last-night dreams. So that I won't forgeting about it. Just in case, I keep on dreaming the same later at night.

Every words he spoke, every actions he made, everything he did, I wrote it all on down my notebook. His figures, his eyes, his smile. I draw it on the pages as well. Everytime, whenever I dream of him, I keep on wondering, 'Who is he? Where is he came from? Do I know him in real life? Does he even exist? Or is he just my imagination?'

Damn! This dream feels surreal. It feels like it was all had happened before. It's seems like I've known him for a long time. 'Do you exist? Where are you if you are?' These questions keeps lingering in my mind. The curiousity about this guy keeps growing bigger and bigger, day by day. I keep on wondering who and how do I know him. Where did I have met him before. Everything. I want to know everything.

Before the all the questions been answered, mom shouting downstair. "Hazel honey. Come down now dear if you're awake. You don't want to be late for your first day at your new school, darling." Urghh!! New school. New people. Same Me. I always hated of the ideas moving away from city to another city. Mama always try her best to keep me away from Daddy and I know why she did all this.

Daddy was an assult. He always had his hand landed on Mama's face whenever he came back home, drunk. I, who was still 8-years- old, witnesses all the things that happened to Mama. And since then, I had that dream. The dream that always keep me from the reality. I, myself in that dream was 8-years-old too. As I grew older, the 'Me-in-a-dream' also grew older.

"Hazel honey. We're getting late now! Come down hurry!" Mama shout as I hear her footsteps to the front door.

'Dear lord, do me a favor? Please save me from another high school teen drama. I don't want to be involved again. Let the past be the last time. I beg of you.' I have said my prayer before I get up from my bed and straight to the bathroom to get ready for school. Yeay! (Sarcastically)

'Welcome to Hollywood! Dear me.' I sarcastically talked to myself as I walk follow the step of my suppose-to-be homeclass teacher, Miss Melanie. As I follows her to the class, my eyes catch into someone in the class. He caught my attention as I walk into the class and presented myself to the students.

At first, his focus are not onto me but his works on the table. As I start to introduced myself, he is now focus on me. Our eyes meet and I look away as I feels my cheeck burns red. Embarassed as guy watching me intensely like that.

"Okay, students. This is Hazel. Hazel Swan. She is new in town and not yet familiar around here. So, if there's anyone who can show her around. Do that after class. Thank you." I stare at him again as his focus again to his works and walk to an empty table.

Out of all table, why must the one that behind him? "Okay." Miss Melanie's voice loud enough to keep me awake from daydreaming. "Let's us continue with our last chapter last week. Hazel, do ask questions amongst the other students as you catching up to today's lesson."

The class finish early because Miss Melanie had emergency. "Hazel,right?" Some cheerful voice comes out of nowhere from behind, startles me a lot.

"Gosh! You scared me." I exclaim as I pretend to brush my chest. "Haha, sorry. I'm Liliath. Liliath Parker. I like you and I want us to be beat friend." Liliath suddenly embrace my arm and pulls me into a hug. "Woah, slow down dear. Isn't it too early for you to confessed to me?" I say to her, like it is sound mean when it doesn't.

"Well. First, when I said 'I like you', you didn't denied it so I guess you like me too. Second, you didn't push me when I embraced you. And laat but not least, I'll teach you everything that Miss Melanie told you to. Now, let me show you the school." Liliath now drag me around the school. The last destination she drag me into is the dining hall.

As we enter the dining hall, once again, our eyes met. But this time, longer than before. I feels like I've seen you before but where? My thoughts cut down as Liliath touch my shoulder.

"You okay?" Liliath ask and I nod. "Yeah. Just amazed of the dining hall. It's so beautiful." It really does. It has the design of the ancient greek but too fancy. Just a glimpse of it.

"Well, this school is the oldest among the school in this town. It's built since 1800's. The school been renovated for hundredth times due to the modern times. So, to keep the authenticity of the building, the president decided to keep the dining hall the same." Wow. It has the amazing history. But the dining hall seems familiar to me. Like I have been here before. But I don't know when. It's just feels like home.

I look again to his direction as Liliath and I make our way to the table, suddenly Liliath speaks. "That's Howard. Jesse Howard. The second son of Howard Family. His family is one of the founding family." I looks at Liliath, weird. 'Founding family?'

"Founding family? What is that?" I ask as I curious about it. "Well, founding family is the family that first came to the town before the government and strike for the justices of the people. They also the one that built this school alongside with the former presidents." He is that kind of person. Holy grace. This is not I'm asking for.

"So, as an early warning. Stay away from him. You don't want to get involved with him. I mean it, Hazel. STAY AWAY FROM HIM. Period." I nod but still cant believe that I'm going to school to this kind of environment. I only seen this kind of drama in a movie where the female lead involved with vampire male lead when she was told to be away from him and she insisted.

Damn crap! Am I gonna be the same female lead? Oh lord!
