Ever dream how your future would be like with your tfboys bias?
Request for your one shots to see the future and surprises in store for you.
It could be a living nightmare or a wonderful dream....
The clear blue sky soon gave way to menacing-looking dark clouds and a quickening wind. There was a rumble in the distance and the water in my shoes made a squelching sound. Another bad weather.
Holding an umbrella, i strolled along the sidewalks of Bei Jing where i lived. Although the bad weather had ruined my pink mood, it had not stopped me from visiting my favourite bookshop called The DreamCatcher.
"Ding!" the door bell jingled when i pushed open the heavy wooden door. The warm smell of books welcomed me as i breathed. It was rather empty like always. The lady at the desk looked up from her beaded glasses and broke into a broad grin.
"Evangeline! How nice it is to see you!" Mrs Hampson, the owner of the bookshop hugged me.
"Good morning, Mrs Hampson! Is the Dreamcatcher available?" i greeted her in a cherry tone.
"Over there. Walk five shelves forward and turn two shelves to the right and up to the very top shelf," she directed me with hand signals.
Dreamcatcher was my all time favourite book. The story is about a girl and a boy who unexpected met one day in a bookstore and started to get along....
Found it!
Just as i was about to grab it off the shelf, little did i know that another hand also reached for the book. I tugged the book to my side, hoping to get thee book unstuck. As i pulled , the other hand also pulled.
Ooof! I fell down the step stool and landed on my butt.
"Ow!" i cried, rubbing the back of my head which was badly bruised.
"So you were the one who was pulling the book!" a male voice exclaimed, who was towering over me, reaching out a hand to get me up.
"You too!" i fought back.
" I am Jackson!"
"Evangeline's the name!" i replied.
"Well, see you later, i guess. Have to check this book out!" he waved.

"That's mine!" i yelled.
"Not anymore!" he chuckled cheekily.
"Why not you both read it together?" Mrs Hampson suggested when we pushed each other unwillingly, snagging the spot of the book.
"WE?" we said in unison.
"Oh yes. You both have common interests. Shy, quiet, loves to read so forth,"
"No way! And by the way, thanks for giving me this book, Evangeline!" he mocked when I was distracted.
He sat at a wooden table by the window while i sat by his side, pretending to read a book i picked up from nowhere, hoping to catch a glimpse of the book.
"Since you want it so badly, here," he suddenly handed me the book.
He was about to leave when i stopped him by grabbing his arm. Shocked by what i was doing, i flung my arm. It was not fair for him. Dreamcatcher was really an awesome book. Good books deserved to be shared.
Placing the book in the middle, we read it together.
Somehow, i must have fallen asleep as when i woke up, he was no longer there but there was a note for me.
It was nice meeting you, Evangeline. Let's meet up again to finish the book together. Same time, 3.00pm. Here's my number if you ever need it,

I hugged the book against my chest and while holding the note.
Guess dreams really do come true in this bookshop. We will be meeting each other quite often, won't we, Jackson? _______________________________________ Hope you enjoy it! Especially 姐姐!
