The Stars In Me

There Was A Dream

"Hey, I believe we'll soon meet, right? So let's make a promise ceremony!" I said, putting my hand towards her.

"Yes, we'll soon meet each other. Let's write a letter, so that we don't forget...." The girl said while pulling a pen from her pocket.

She wrote a letter for me. But I didn't have the right words to describe the letter for her.

"This is for you. It's a locket shaped like a key. I have the locket shaped like it's clasp." I said handing the key-shaped locket towards her. She took it and smiled. "Let's put something inside, so that the next time we open it, there would be a surprise for both of us," the girl and I put something inside it and locked it with the key.

And then we both smiled at the thought of opening the lock next time....

~~~X~~~

I woke up with a spasm, with perspire all over me. My heart was beating loud and fast; I took a deep breath and let it out slow. It was that dream again. After my accident, most of my childhood memories have been lost. I don't remember anything that happened before the accident, however some memories have been recollected to me through my dreams. I don't know much about it, but I do remember the girl I met during my childhood. She was my love since, who is turning into a mystery now. 

I turned to my clock, it was almost 8. I sighed and jumped out of bed. I got dressed up for school, and went downstairs. Dad was talking to someone on the phone. 

"Master, you're awake! Good morning, master," one of the J-star wished. J-star refers to 'Jake-Star', which is me. Dad is one of the greatest spy in the American-Wills, the spy organization. But he named his group as J-star when I was born. I wish if he never had done that!

"Oh, son, you're awake," dad said, looking at the clock. "Well, there's still some time left for your school to start...how 'bout we have a little chat?" 

"Chat? Sure, go on."

"Well, my boy, remember I told you about the Emerald-Shine once? The spy group who used to hate me?"

"Yeah, why?"

"We've thought to become friends now. And..." he paused to observe me. "And I want you to be on a relationship with Dare's daughter, the leader of Emerald-Shine."

My eyes widened. "N-no! I'm not gonna have a date with a spy's daughter!"

I stood up and went to the kitchen. The cook made me some toast and eggs. Dad followed and sat beside me. "Please son. It isn't about love, it's about friendship. Think 'bout the money we'll get if we both teams bind together. Just for once, child, for your mother?" He grabbed my hand. 

I pulled it back and sighed. "I-I'll think, maybe. But that doesn't mean I'm sure."

He smiled and nodded. I walked out of the house. Suddenly it started raining; I opened my umbrella and wandered to my school. How could dad make me love somebody I don't even know? I hate this spy work. I grinned at the thought of Emma being my childhood love. Emma is my crush since I was in middle school. She is perfect for me and no one can beat her in this.

"Hey watch out!" somebody shouted. I turned around and got bumped by a...girl? She fell on top of me, with her lips resting on mine. Both of our eyes widened at each other. Nobody moved and the rain poured on us. Suddenly she got up and took my umbrella as a shield. I made a confused look.
