Thirteen.
Shakira counted thirteen bright stars then spinned around four times. Shakira sighed and looked at the sky. This is the first time she tried this. The first time she believed in myths and legend.
Shakira walk back to her room and lie in her bed. She picked up her book and started reading it all over again. The book "Forget your Past" is one of her favorite books. She is still waiting for the book two. Her other favorite books is still not finished so she was still waiting for it to get published and buy a hardcopy. One of her favorite book "Doubting Trust" will be published next month and she was so excited about this.
"Gerard huh? I hope i can see him again." Shakira said looking up the ceiling. The man she just met this morning is the reason she is trying the myth. The wish on a star is a famous myth from Japan. During acient times a girl fell inlove with a prince. She tried a method her grandmother told her....its to to count thirteen visible bright stars and spin around four times for six days. On the seventh day, all you need is look for seven bright stars and think about your wish while looking for the stars. The girl tried this and wished for the prince to fall in love with her. After putting so much faith in that method and on the seventh day the prince fall in love with the girl..........
"I wish Gerard would fall for me too." Shakira said then tried to remember what happened this morning.
*Flashback*
Shakira is in the cafe just across the street from their house. She was always here, everyday drinking a cup of chocolate milk while reading her books. She have no classes today cause its Sunday and as usual she was here reading while eating some cake. Since its Sunday many people are in the cafe. Shakira seats in her usual spot in the corner near the glass window. She was reading her book when a man with a tray ask her.
"Uhm excuse me is this seat taken? Can i share table?" the tall guy ask Shakira. Shakira looked up at the guy.......and for the first time she saw floating flowers and stars. She felt so light like she was being blown away and her heart stopped beating..
"H-he's so handsome...... I cant believe a guy could look this good." Shakira thought to herself. Butterflies started fluttering inside her stomach.
"S-sure." Shakira said looking at him.
"Hi my name is Gerard Pique. What's your name?" Gerard ask her.
"Im Shakira. Shakira Isabel Mebarak Ripoll." Shakira said smiling at him this is the first time she felt comfortable with someone else.
"Hello Shakira, nice to meet you ." He smiled at her.
"Nice to meet you too, Gerard." Shakira said and she accidentally dropped her book. Gerard picked it up and looked at the cover.
"Wow. Forget your Past is one of my favorite book." Gerard exclaimed and give her the book.
"Really?!" Shakira ask him. She is so excited cause this is the first time she saw a guy liked this book.
"Yes. I already have a hardcopy and im reading the softcopy of the book two. Do you know Doubting Trust? I like that book." Gerard told her.
"Yes i know that. It is one of my favorite books. Im waiting for the hardcopy to get published next month." Shakira said happily.
They continued talking about stuff and specially about books. They love the same stuff and hate the same things. Its like they were meant to be together. Gerard told her that he just moved here so he's still new to the place and that he's glad he had made friend here.
