Aoi Takeuchi wasn't used to waking up in the middle of the night. But as she woke up, panting from a crazy dream, she felt very sure that it was real. Her dream was about her long time crush-Jun Matsumoto-her childhood friend.
They've been friends for a long time now but he's now a famous singer in a pop group. Nowadays, they only see each other once in a while. It has been almost two months since they last saw one another and she had just dreamt herself confessing to him.
I'm missing Jun-chan already, she thought. She jumped out of bed and checked the calendar near her laptop. Still two days before I'll get to see him.
Jun and the members of Arashi-the Japanese pop group that he belongs to, were scheduled back to Tokyo tomorrow. Jun promised her that they will see each other the next day.
Aoi looked at the clock in her laptop and seeing that it was just three in the morning, she decided to call Jun later than now. "He's probably still sleeping," she said to herself.
She started to log in on her website and started to write on her blog. She was a fan of Arashi ever since Jun became a singer and an actor. She writes about their shows, movies and concerts.
It was already five when she decided to get back to sleep before the sun rises. She wanted to surprise Jun the next day so she decided to get some things from the mall as soon as she wakes up. She fell asleep right away the instant her head hit the pillow. Dreams followed the moment she fell to the R.E.M. stage of her sleep.
"Wait for me, Jun," Aoi shouted as Jun ran towards the train station in Harajuku.
"Catch me if you can!" Jun retorted as she followed him, panting all the way.
Jun was taller than her about four inches and his legs were longer. With this, she barely caught up with him. As she tried to hold his shirt, she woke up.
Her pillow and sheets were covered with sweat. It was already eleven in the morning and the sun was striking hot, shining its rays directly on her.
"Freakishly bad dream," she mused as climbed out of her pink and white, Hello Kitty bed.
She went to the shower and cleansed her body, taking out all of the stress from the dream she had. Dream... Wasn't it a nightmare?
She didn't think that she would like Jun since she thought of him as her older brother. In fact, when they were younger, they used to take baths together in hot springs.
As she finished her shower, she stepped out of the bath and dried herself with a clean towel. Making sure that she got her hair and body dry, she put on her aquamarine colored dress with streaks of green on the lining.
She curled her hair with an iron and put on light make up just to add color to her skin. To finish off her attire, she wore her brown boots.
Looking at herself in the mirror, she took in all of her features. She had a black hair with brown highlights, dark eyes and long lashes, full lips and an up-turned nose.
She was attractive in an anime-like way. Even her body was picturesque. All in all, Aoi was pretty.
As she set her things in her bag, she checked the sight out the window. The wind was making the leaves of the trees move fast.
With the breeze outside, she was sure that it was going to rain in a little while. She brought a coat and an umbrella just in case it might rain harder than she thought it would.

"Get lost!" Sho Sakurai shouted as Kazunari Ninomiya threw him an opened bottle of water, splashing his face.
