Chapter One: The Dream

Chapter One: The Dream

"Tell me would you ever trade your soul and or your life for one wish? The wish could be anything in the world, riches, love, even the whole world. Would you trade in your life and soul for just one wish, would you Yume Takamori"?

I didn't understand where I was or what I was doing in this place. I see to be floating in the clouds, no higher than the clouds. In the clouds I heard a small voice ask me this question "would I trade my life and or my soul for one wish". I could never seem to have an answer.

Suddenly I hear a beeping sound and fluffy pink clouds start to disappear around me. I open my eyes and I am in my room. My alarm clock had went off just before I could answer that question. I got up and looked out my window.

"Would I trade my soul and or life for one wish" I repeated to myself. "What kind of question is that to ask someone"?

Hi my name is Yume Takamori, I am 13 years old and I have just started the ninth grade. Recently I have been having a recurring dream for the past week now. Every since I transferred schools.

In this dream I am floating in the clouds, and a random voice asks me the same question each time. It asks "would I trade my life and or my soul for one wish". I have no idea what it means but I always wake up before I can answer.

I get changed into my school uniform and go to my bathroom to wash up. Today was a big day for me. It's my first year as a ninth grader at a new school and I plan to make the best impression on people.

At my old school I had no friends and mostly ate lunch on my own. It was like I didn't even exist and when I had to speak in front of the class I'd stutter. The only thing that kept me company was my manga's I read all the time. Mangas about you girls who transformed into costumes and defend the earth from danger. Oh how I wished to be one of them.

I walked down my stairs after I was finished getting ready.

"Good morning everyone".

There was no answer only silence.

"I see no one's home but me again".

My mom and dad work for a huge company and are mostly away on business trips. They make a lot if money so it's all fine and all but I really wish they would be here more often. Whenever they do come home it's never all of us only one or the other.

I remember when I was younger and we used to have family dinners together. It's not that I am lonely I have an older sister but it's just I really want them here, I just want to have family dinners like we used to.

My stomach growled as I looked through our fridge for breakfast items. Nothing seemed appealing to me.

"I'll just make myself some cereal".

I try to reach for the cereal box in the pantry but it is to high up. Even standing on the tips of my toes I was still to short. I decided I'd use a broom to help me get it down but when I hit the box it fell onto my forehead and then cereal exploded onto the floor.

"Oh no are you serious why now".

I was about to clean it up when I saw the time on my kitchen clock.

"Ah if I don't leave now I am going to be late, but the cereal" I thought about my choices in my head, "I'll just have to clean it up when I get home".

I ran back up the stairs to get my backpack then rushed out of the door. When I started to get close to the school I noticed some other students were just coming too.

"That means I'm not late thank goodness".

Finally I made it to my class just before the bell rung. I looked around the classroom to get a good look at my new classmates. Many girls who were very pretty and some cute guys but one girl stood out the most.
