Suffering from exhaustion... T.THey guys I'm back!!! Man, did you guys miss me or what?? I've been on a few days' hiatus, and lots of things have been happening lately. Take for example, the japanese festival that I went to a few days back, they had lots of stuff there, like food and performances and games. Oh yes, I think the games were the main attraction, there were lots of japanese kids flocking there, and japanese parents telling them to be careful and stuff. Man, it was mega cool, and there were even some cute japanese guys there. KYAA!!! And not to mention, I'm going to Waseda Shibuya High School soon. They're organising this festive of some kind, and I'm going to go there and watch hot japanese guys!!! <33
Anyway, on to the not so good stuff. Well, I sprained my ankle yesterday. Yeah, it hurts all right. But who cares, I've experienced it at least 5 times, if not more. Haha, anyway, there hasn't been updates on Suju, well not that I recall of, and our darling wookie boy hasn't shown any signs of activeness. But here's the good news, suju's album is coming soon!!! Oh boy, I can't wait!! It's supposedly going to be released around September or October. Wait till I get my hands on it. X3
So here's the second chapter of Dreams Can Come True to whet your appetite, enjoy!!! ^^
Chapter 2
Gazing at the poster of his band by his bed, Kouji Nakamura laid restlessly in bed. He had been to the Tokyo International School and announced that Miracle Beat wanted to recruit a new member. Thinking back, there were a couple of people who had caught his eye, but it still didn’t make him feel better. Ever since he had heard that his sister had run away from home, Kouji’s heart had never been at ease. He was constantly worried about her and as a result, could not concentrate on his music and the band. Reflecting back on his past, he thought of all the happy times that he had shared with his sister. The times he had spent with her, all the fighting, the tears and the happiness that they had shared. All Kouji wanted right now was his sister to be back safely home, he had always blamed himself for leaving home in the first place to pursue his music career and his parents had always disapproved of his dream. As a result, he had decided to move from Hokkaido all the way to Tokyo just to fulfill his dream.
If only I hadn’t been so stubborn, he thought. But it was all too late now, his sister had always been the only kin that had supported his dream and now she had left home. Kouji felt alone and abandoned, and as he tossed and turned in bed, the more he felt restless. He decided to get out of bed and get a drink of water, and as he made his way to the kitchen, he was surprised to see Yutaro in the living room, watching TV.
“Yutaro?? What are you doing up so late?” Kouji asked in surprise.
“Oh, hey Kouji. Sorry for startling you, I couldn’t sleep,” Yutaro replied, with a grin.
“Nah, it’s ok I haven’t exactly been sleeping well either. Are Hikaru and Rei sleeping?”
“Yeah, they’re asleep on their rooms. How about you bro? Couldn’t get any sleep too?”
Kouji gave a sheepish grin. He hadn’t exactly been sleeping well these past few weeks because he was worried about his sister. As a result, he had felt guilty about it because he had let all his band mates down by not performing at his best. Deep in his heart, he knew Yutaro was disappointed with him, but he chose not to show it. Kouji had reproached himself time and time again that he had nothing to do with his sister’s disappearance and that he was not to be blamed, because it was of her own will. But somehow, he felt responsible for all tat had taken place because as an older brother, he was supposed to set a good example for her, but he had chosen to pursue his dream and abandon his family. He had felt selfish for doing it, but in order to fulfill his dream he had to choose between family and ambition. It was a really hard choice which nearly drove Kouji to depression. It took a great deal of time, effort and courage before Kouji finally made his choice.
Setting his glass down, Kouji replayed the scene that had occurred then, in his mind over and over again. His mother had forbid him to go, but still he persevered, knowing some day that he would make it big. His father, being a businessman, strongly disapproved of his dream, as he had wanted Kouji to take over his company as executive director, but Kouji had not only disrespected his decision he had chosen to become a musician, instead of following into his father’s footsteps. As a result, his father became so furious with him that they had not had a proper chat with each other ever since, he announced that he was going to pursue his music career. His sister, who had been the only one supporting him and his dream throughout, had cried non-stop as soon as he stepped out of the house. The last he heard of her, she had nearly collapsed out of minor depression, because she had cried everyday.
Heaving a sigh, Kouji decided to head back to his room. He felt that it was of no use pondering over his past now, because it had happened a long time ago, and he could not turn back time. Lying in his bed again, he drifted off into a dreamless sleep, thinking of his family and especially his sister.
*****
Kouji, she saw Kouji! Running towards him, she summoned all her strength as she chased after him. ‘Wait up!’ she called out. Kouji turned around to look at her, but it was too late, a car appeared out of the blue, and knocked him down. She watched as Kouji was flung off from the ground. Blood splattered everywhere, and his lifeless body rolled onto the ground, quite a distance from where she was standing. ‘Kouji!!’ she tried to shout, but nothing came out of her mouth. She was too speechless and shocked to do anything. People around her were making calls to the police and the hospital. She knelt down before his lifeless body and gave one last cry.
“Stella? Stella, wake up! Stella, are you all right?”
With a gasp, Stella woke up in shock. Sweat poured down her cheeks and her forehead. It was a dream, just a dream. Heaving a sigh of relief, she thanked her grandmother for waking her up, and got up to get dressed. The accident in her dream had happened so fast, she had absolutely no time to react. Shaking her head to get rid of the terrible nightmare, Stella couldn’t help but wonder if the dream was a premonition, and whether it would come true. Well, if it were true she would just have to see what happens then, she thought. She shuddered at the thought of all the blood that she had seen; it was so vivid and so violent, she had to tell it to Chiharu no matter what.
When she reached school, she poured the whole dream to Chiharu and told her about how she felt about it. Once they had gone to a private corner to discuss the topic and Nancy wasn’t around, Chiharu told Stella her feelings.
“Stella, this is serious! This dream spells danger for Kouji; you have to save him no matter what!”
“But... Chiharu-Chan, I… I...” Stella stammered.
“Stella! Get a hold of yourself! You’re the only one who can save him, and you know that girl! Now what are going to do? Don’t tell me, you’re just going to sit there and let this accident happen. You have a special gift, Stella; you’ve got to make use of it. Save lives, do good,” Chiharu exclaimed.
“Yeah, a special gift, sometimes I wonder if it’s a gift or a curse,” Stella murmured.
“Look, it’s no use arguing with you, and I can’t possibly force you to make a decision, but just think about what I just said Stella, hopefully it’ll help you come to a conclusion” Chiharu sighed.
“I’m sorry, Chiharu. But, I… I…” Stella started, tears welling up in her eyes. She knew Chiharu was right, but what quality did she possess that was deemed as good enough to save a life, especially one that was so close to her heart, she asked herself.
“Oh come here darling,” Chiharu said as she saw Stella crying. Patting her back and shaking her head, she knew Stella was not as strong as she used to be. She had lost all her self-esteem after the numerous times of boyfriends that had dumped her. Sometimes, when Chiharu looked at her, she felt sorry for Stella. She was such a wonderful girl, and yet no one learnt to treasure her. Pretty, kind-hearted and gentle, Chiharu gave a sigh; she had been made used of too many times. That was why Chiharu had made a pact with herself, to always protect Stella, no matter what happens. Looking at Stella with concerned eyes, she comforted her.
“There, there, stop crying. It’s not your fault; it’s because of all those bastards out there. You’ve been made used of them too many times and you lost all your self-esteem to them. If not you wouldn’t be here… you wouldn’t be here…” Chiharu trailed as she clenched her fists. Tears began to well up in her eyes, as she recalled the time Stella was being dumped by her first boyfriend.
Stella had only been 14 when she had her very first relationship, and the boy who had gone into a relationship with her was called, Ryan. He was pretty nice according to Chiharu that is until he started to hang out with the wrong crowd. Ryan had always treated Stella nicely and had given her a lot of care and Stella was happy to be with him. She even talked about marriage to Chiharu and Nancy, but all of that went wrong when one fateful day, Ryan started to physically abuse her. Stella was only 14 and he was only 16 when the abusive treatment started. Every single day, Ryan kicked and punched her, but still Stella always knew that somewhere deep in her heart, he still loved her. The treatment went on for about a few weeks. At first Chiharu thought that Stella, being her clumsy self had fallen down some steps like she had claimed, at home, and that the bruises and wounds would heal in a couple of days’ time. But, she was wrong, in fact, Stella had more and more wounds on her arms and her legs. Chiharu and Nancy began to suspect that there was more to Ryan than met the eye. So, one day, they decided to follow Stella when she met up with Ryan. They knew Stella was really kind-hearted, and in order to protect her boyfriend, she didn’t mention anything about the abuse, no matter how much they pressed her.
When the both of them had reached the bottom of the flat, they saw Stella meeting up with Ryan. The both of them disappeared around the back of the building after talking for a while. After 5 minutes, when the both of them still hadn’t returned, both Chiharu and Nancy sensed that there was something amiss. They knew that Stella was usually shy and didn’t talk much, when she was around the opposite sex for very long. Following instinct, the both of them rushed to the back of the building, only to see Stella being kicked and punched by Ryan. Giving a shout, Chiharu told Ryan to stop. Seeing that both of her friends were there, and knowing that he had been caught red-handed, Ryan ran away. That was the last they would see of him, though. The next day, they heard from their homeroom teacher that Ryan had transferred to another school, and that he would continue to finish his education there.
“Chiharu-chan?? Chiharu-chan??” Stella called.
Shaking her head, Chiharu looked down to see Stella, tears still in her eyes, staring up at her.
“Sorry Stella, I was too caught up in my imagination, are you feeling better now??” Chiharu asked.
“Yeah, thanks as always, Chiharu-chan. Crying always makes me feel better, I guess…” Laughing, Stella said again, “Aren’t I a crybaby??”
“Well you always have been one since you were born,” Chiharu replied, and the both of them laughed in unison.

I'm so bored... +_+Hello minna-san!!! Krystle desu!! It's me again!! Yeah, and it's time for more updates on Chrno Crusade!!! I'm watching half of episode 13 right now, so I'm gonna update you on what's been happening. Our story revolves around a girl called Rosette Christopher, her devil companion Chrno, and a lovely little apostle girl called Azmaria. Set in the time of the olden day America, Rosette is part of an organisation called, The Magdalan Order, which takes cares of devils roaming and attacking the city. (Take note, Chrno may be a devil, but he isn't a bad one). Anyway, Rosette is out on a mission to find her long-lost brother, Joshua, whom she lost to the likes of Aion, the most evil devil there is. If you're interested in the story, you guys can go to: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chrono_Crusade for more information.
And now on to the Kpop. As we all know, Super Junior has just finished their M.net performance and is currently recording their second album. So let me show you some close-ups on our beloved wookie boy during the performance.

Well, that's all for today guys, see you tomorrow... ^^

FREEDOM!!!!Hey guys!! It's me!! Krystle desu!! Wee, what a nice feeling I'm experiencing right now. The exams are finally over, and I am free!!!! I think I'm gonna make a bonfire out of my economics paper or something haha... Nah, I'm just kidding, I'm not that crazy. I think I'm just gonna put them in my closet for safe-keeping. Wow, today has sure been a tiring day for me. I'm physically as well as, mentally exhausted. Mentally, because of my exam. Physically, because my friends and I decided to go to Plaza Singapura to walk and catch a movie. License to Wed, that was the title. It was such an interesting show, because it showed me how to think like a guy. All that perverted stuff and dirty jokes were funny, gosh I'm even beginning to feel like a guy now. Haha, I'm just kidding. Anyway, I'm excited about this coming saturday. My school's japanese cultural club is bringing us members, to this festival near Changi, at a japanese elementary school. Oh boy, I just can't wait to test out my japanese language skills on those children(though it's not very good XD).
Ok then, enough about the talking and on about the Kpop. I really do think that eunwook and ryeobum are the next big thing in Suju. I mean just look at these pictures!! (It's made me come to believe that ryeo wook is such a flirt, tsk...).
Eunwook:
They look like they're about to kiss each other... ><
Ryeobum:
Tsk.. look at that flirt, I still remember the time he flirted with Dong hae and Sungmin at the same time! -.-

Oh well, besides the fact that I still have an economics exam tomorrow, BUT, it only lasts for 1 hour and 40 minutes, so yes!! Freedom is near, I can practically smell it. I've just finished watching Chrno Crusade episode 8 and I must say, this anime is so interesting. I wonder why I didn't finish watching it the other time, but oh well, today I'm gonna show you lots of pictures taken from Suju's latest performance on Mnet(Siwon, Hankyung and Kyu hyun weren't there, unfortunately). =((
So, here they are:

I'm so tired... -.-Konniainiachiwa!!!! No, it's not Kero-chan, but it's me!! Krystle desu!! Haha, so how has everybody been doing?? Good? Oh, I'm fine all right, just that I'm really exhausted from all that piano playing I did in the morning. I think I must have done my scales like a hundred times. My wrists and fingers are so tired, they can hardly type anything out today, much less play the piano again. And the worst thing is, internet connection today is really REALLY slow. I'm so pissed at it, because that means less watching of Chrono Crusade, which means less entertainment for me. BOO~~ Hmm... Maybe this is a sign from God telling me to go study or something, so I guess after I have finished with this, I should go study my economics. I feel so sleepy today. *Yawn*
Anyway, on to the Kpop. I saw this video which had Suju in it just now, and I can't help but laugh because Yesung imitated Kang In, Siwon and Dong Hae. I especially loved him imitating Kang In because the way he made his eyes go really really small when he smiled like Kang In was hilarious. Everyone knows Kang In gets banana eyes when he laughs right? Oh man, I didn't know Yesung was such a joker haha... And now more on my beloved Wookie updates.
Pictures:
GIF:
Don't you just love it when he acts all dorky like that?? Well, I know I'm lovin' it... X3
Anyway, it's time for me to end here. I need to get my afternoon beauty nap and then study for my economics. See you soon. ^^

Nostalgia...Tadaiima minna san!!! Did ya miss me or what?? Haha... Yeah, it's me again!! And, I have finished watching fate/stay night. Oh man, the ending was so touching and so sad because Shirou and Saber didn't end up together. Darn it!! I think Saber died too. I felt so sad, but no worries, I think there's gonna be a new season called fate/hollow axataria!!! Aren't the names of the anime always so cool?? Fate/stay night was originally a game, but since the creators converted it into an anime series, I guess this one is gonna be an anime pretty soon too. Oh yeah, I can't wait for it to come. X3 Anyway, I'm restarting on Chrno Crusade now, so there will be lots of updates on it coming your way pretty soon.
Ok then, on to the Kpop!!! There's this new Kpop group debuting soon, and I think it's called JYP or something like that, but anyway I love 2 of the members there!! One of them is called Junsu(That's right he shares the same name as Xiah Junsu from DBSK), and the other is called Yangbum(Apparently, he's from taiwan. Sweet!! I can communicate with him X)). Okay now, on with Suju. There hasn't been a lot of updates from then lately, but I love the photos they keep coming up with, especially the ones with Wookie in it, keke...

I love cats and dogs... =3Hello everyone, yoroshiku!!! Krystle desu. Yeah it's me again, ok since you see me post every single day it must be a bore to you guys since I keep saying 'Krystle desu' haha... Anyways on to the point, I went to the Grand Copthorne Hotel of Singapore yesterday, and when my family and I were taking pictures, this super cute stray cat came up to us and meowed at us. Ohmywookie, when I mean cute I mean really REALLY cute!! It was so cute, my mum just had to snap a picture of me with it. (She's not a cat lover) But yes, that's how cute it was keke... Oh you want proof?? Ok then, I shall give you the evidence. Haha, be prepared to squeal:
Aww isn't it just the cutest thing?? It was so cute, I just had to take a shot of it. X3
And now, on to the anime. No, I haven't finished watching fate/stay night yet, BUT I did finish up until episode 21. It's so exciting and stuff, especially the magic and the quality. Oh man, I love that anime!! (I stayed up till 3am last night to watch it, since my parents weren't in, I have slightly more freedom, keke...)
Okay then, now for the Kpop. The reason why I put the title as: I love cats and dogs is because... WOOKIE IS HOLDING A PUPPY FOR SOME DOG ADVERTISEMENT, BUT HE'S SO CUTE, HE MAKES ME WANNA SCREAM NOW!!! Yes, it's the truth, the dog + wookie = CUTENESS LIKE NEVER BEFORE, though some people did say the dog wasn't cute enough for wookie. But what the heck, I think it is!!!
Pictures!!!!
Okay, since my post is filled with so much puppy love, I guess I should stop here for today, before things get err.. too furry. See you soon!!!
Much puppy love,

More about anime... XDOk guys, here's the deal... I'm so gonna finish watching the entire series of Fate/Stay night in about less than a few days, maybe two. Ohmywookie, I amaze myself sometimes at the rate I watch my anime. It's so scary because I managed to complete both seasons of Nanoha and Nanoha A's in less than a week. It was so addictive, though it seems kinda draggy now because Nanoha StrikerS wasn't as good as I expected but nonetheless, there's still some good deal of action in there and lots of new characters. Oh aside from that, I wonder what other good anime there are aside from fate/stay night. Hmmm... maybe I should watch D. Gray Man as recommended by my friend but I don't really watch shounen anime except for Saiyuki. Anyone have any recommendations?? Keke... anyways ok I've been blabbering too much about anime so now on to the Kpop.
I just found out that our beloved wookie boy is a greedy boy. What? You don't believe?? Well then, here's a picture of him I found, devouring a chicken. Look at the way he eats:
Yep, truly greedy. XD
Okay then, gif time!! I'm sure most of you super junior fans out there know that there's a suju movie, am I right?? Okay then, I shall show u some nerdy gifs of wookie, be prepared to laugh and giggle. Oh yes, it's that funny:
Well I hope that has been nerdy enough to make you laugh, so I am gonna end here for today. Cya soon!!! ^^
Much nerdy love,

Another day, here I go again...Hey guys it's me again!! Yep, Krystle desu!! Haha, I'm watching fate/stay night episode 8!! Ok ok, I'm sure most of you guys are wondering what on earth is so good about the anime. Well, let me explain: See, fate/stay night revolves around this boy called Emiya Shirou(江実矢四郎). An amateur mechanic who attends school at Homurabara Gakuen in Fuyuki City. Ten years ago, Shirou was caught in a massive inferno that incinerated his parents and consumed a large portion of the city; as he was dying, an enigmatic man discovers and treats him. This man, Kiritsugu Emiya, decides to adopt him, though the two maintain a distant relationship because of Kiritsugu's frequent departures from Fuyuki City. One moonlit night, Kiritsugu and Shirou have a discussion outside of their home, and Shirō discovers a fact about his father that Kiritsugu had previously kept hidden.
“
I have a secret that I haven't told you--- I'm a Magician.
”
Through their conversation, Shirou learns of his foster father's failed life ambition to become a "Hero of Justice" (正義の味方, Seigi no Mikata), a guardian of mankind who could protect the weak and innocent. Touched by Kiritsugu's conviction, Shirou affirms to his foster father that he intends to devote his life to achieving that distant ideal, much to Kiritsugu's chagrin. To do this, Shirou pleads with a begrudging Kiritsugu to teach him sorcery (魔術, Majutsu); but Shirou proves to be talentless in almost all the fundamental sorcerous disciplines.
Kiritsugu warns his son that the life of a sorcerer is one that leads to destruction, but if he is truly set on benefiting people, he should apply his knowledge in secret and hone his craft in private. After Kiritsugu dies, Shirou becomes frustrated with his progress, for he feels inadequate about his good deeds through sorcery and is unsure of how to orient his future to contribute more.
Well, that's all I'm sharing with you guys, if any one is interested you can get the whole story at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fate/stay_night
Okay then, on about kpop. Since my blog is dedicated to my beloved ryeo wook and super junior here are some pictures, I would like to share:

T.T but right now, iIm watching this fantabulous anime called fate/stay night. I think the plot's really great and the characters are nicely designed. This is gonna be my next favourite anime after Hikaru no Go!!! And I wanna play Igo too!!! Ok, maybe I've said too much for you non-anime lovers out there. So here's something interesting to everyone who's reading right now. I'm working on a story currently and it's called Dreams Can Come True. I hope you guys will find it interesting.. So, here's the first chapter, enjoy!! =3
Pre-Introduction
She was just a normal girl, and he was a celebrity. There was no way they could end up together, it was just impossible.
The same thought occurring in her head over and over again. Tossing and turning restlessly on the bed, Stella got up in frustration and decided to go to the kitchen for a cup of water. There was no way in the world that such a thing could happen, she thought. But look at Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, another side of her argued back. Katie had once mentioned that she had a crush on Tom and look at them, they were together! Ah! That was it! With a shake of her head, she shut off all thoughts and headed for the glass of water before switching off all the lights, and heading for her room.
Chapter 1
‘Dear diary,
Stella here. Guess what?? I’m now in high school! Oh my gosh, I never thought I could make it but I did!!!’
Closing her diary, Stella Marietta made her way towards her room and stared at her posters, all of which were of her favourite Japanese band, Miracle Beat. She had started to idolize them ever since last year and her favourite member in there was of course the lead singer, Kouji Nakamura. He was turning 20 in a couple of month’s time and she would be sure that he would receive her present. In the meantime, she had to get ready for school. It was her first day and she sure didn’t want to be late.
“Stella! Over here!” her best friend, Nancy called.
“Just in time! Which class am I in??” Stella panted, as she ran towards her.
“Well, let’s see… you’re in hmm… should I tell you?” Nancy replied.
“Oh come on, don’t keep in suspense! What class am I in already?” Stella poked, impatiently.
“Okay okay, don’t be so impatient. We’re in Class A.” Nancy pouted unhappily.
“Sorry Nancy, I just had this weird dream of Kouji again, and it’s been happening two nights in a row. Sometimes I just feel I….” The sound of Stella’s voice was cut off by the ringing of the school bell.
“C’mon girl! We’re gonna be late if we don’t hurry and by the way, I forgive you!” Nancy replied, winking at her.
“But Nancy, I…” Stella’s voice trailed when she saw how her high school looked like. It’s the same one in her dream, ever single detail! Right down to the paint, the surroundings the… her thoughts were interrupted by Nancy’s voice calling for her again.
“What are you doing just standing down there? Come on, we’re gonna be late!” Nancy called out.
In sheer desperation, she pulled Stella’s hand and made a run towards the school gate. “But…” Stella tried to argue. However, Nancy was persistent and she didn’t want to have another argument with her friend, so Stella tried calming herself down. It’s just another coincidence, so relax, she thought to herself. But another side of her argued back, telling her that this was no coincidence and that it was another premonition coming true. She remembered the time when Nancy was almost killed in a car accident, and she had recurring nightmares of it happening over and over again. Trying to forget those painful memories was so difficult, because she was so traumatized at what happened. And now, if her dreams were going to come true again, she would meet Kouji Nakamura from Miracle Beat soon. He would be selecting a new band mate from her school and it just so happened that the band wanted an English-speaking member so that he or she could be their translator as well as, the band’s backup vocalist.
Staring at her watch, Stella counted the time till their chance meeting. 5 more minutes... She counted. She had always dreamt of going to the International School of Tokyo and right now, hurrying up the stairs with her best friend seemed to take forever it was as if time was slowed down and her thoughts were running faster than the time it took for both of them to get to the classroom. It was so dream-like because everything she had seen and heard was happening exactly as it was now just that this was reality.
Nevertheless, this wasn’t the time to think about things like that, she would meet Kouji in about less than a minute’s time. This was no coincidence… she thought again, this was another premonition coming true, but if she stopped it would she get another chance of meeting Kouji again? All of this was still pretty new to her, and Stella, being the only 17 year old of a single-parent family was still trying to get used to her premonitions. Her mother once brought her to a fortune-teller, and the fortune-teller had foretold that Stella had a special gift, which she would only discover on her 16th birthday. True enough, the fortune-teller was right, because on the same night she celebrated her birthday, she had a terrible dream of Nancy getting knocked down and killed instantly in a hit-and-run accident.
“Well, here we are!!!” Nancy exclaimed. Her voice shook Stella back to reality, as she took a glimpse of her new classroom.
“Wow…” Stella gaped in awe. The classroom was decorated with all sorts of Japanese paintings, and it was definitely the sort of room which made you feel welcome.
“Ohayou gozaiimasu,” a familiar voice greeted the two of them as soon as they entered the classroom. It was Chiharu, their American-Japanese friend. Nancy, Stella and Chiharu had always been the best of friends ever since they could remember, and the three of them always stuck to each other through thick and thin. Though Chiharu was home-schooled, and Nancy and Stella were transfer students in an elementary school in Japan, they ran into each other when they were 10, when Chiharu’s parents decided to send her to an elementary school to complete her education.
“Chiharu-chan!!!” Nancy exclaimed with excitement, as she hugged her tightly.
“Ohayou, Chiharu-chan,” Stella greeted her back. Chiharu had always been the one who listened to her and only she knew of Stella’s gift. Stella had initially felt sorry for not telling Nancy about this special power that she possessed but Chiharu had warned her not to tell Nancy, for fear of putting her in shock. “The lesser she knows, the better,” Chiharu had always said, and now Stella fully understood why she had said it. Nancy was one who did not take surprises easily that was why Chiharu had warned Stella not to tell her. She remembered the time when she had told Nancy, she had depression and that was why she had slit her wrists. Nancy took over a week to overcome that shock and Chiharu really regretted telling her that.
“Ok class!!! Time to settle down!!” the teacher yelled at them.
Everyone scrambled to their seats, as the sensei began to read out their names one by one. Everyone had to respond with a ‘HAI!’, if the sensei called out their name, or else he or she would be marked as ‘absent’. As the sensei called out her name, Stella responded with a ‘HAI!’ and began to concentrate on the things that were going to happen. Kouji would step in any minute now, Stella thought. And just as she had predicted, the doors opened and a guy wearing sunglasses stepped in.
‘Class, please rise, I have an announcement I want to share with all of you.” The sensei announced. “Whenever you are ready, Nr. Nakamura,” the sensei gestured towards him.
Taking out his sunglasses, Kouji smiled at all the surprised faces as he looked around the classroom. “Now, now class, I don’t want anyone fan-girling around you hear? No one is allowed to step near Mr. Nakamura until this session is over,” the sensei warned. Kouji just smiled and told the whole class that he would be selecting one lucky person to be accepted into Miracle Beat, as their backup singer and translator. All the girls were getting more and more excited and the boys in the class were talking about how cool it would be to play in a band. Gazing at Kouji, Stella got excited too but she remained calm and composed. Kouji was going to choose her, she thought. The premonitions she had these few days were coming true, and she could not stop the excitement from bubbling through her blood.
“Okay guys, I’m going to be fair. Each of you is going to sing a song that you know of, to me any song will do, and you will be tested on your English too. There will be an interview today at the music room for each student, so be sure to be on time!” With that, Kouji winked at them and left the class. All the girls smiled dreamily at him and the boys were arguing over who was going to be in the band. Stella could hardly keep her cool, and she smiled dreamily back at Kouji, as he left the classroom.
“Isn’t he cute? Oh my gosh, Stella! I wonder who he’s going to pick?!” Nancy swooned.
“Yeah! He is such a dreamy guy...” Chiharu sighed.
Stella looked at the both of them curiously, and shrugged her shoulders. Though she knew that she was going to be picked, but she could not afford to disappoint her friends. Not until the results were announced, she thought. As she saw Nancy walking towards her other classmates to talk to them, she immediately spilled the beans to Chiharu.
“NO WAY!!” Chiharu exclaimed, “You lucky girl!!! I’m so happy for you! You’ve been having this unbelievable crush on him for goodness knows how long… It’s time you got to meet him in person!”
“But Chiharu-chan, aren’t you disappointed? I mean Kouji’s your idol and…,”
“There you said it! He’s an idol, I only admire him, unlike you, and I don’t have a crush on him. Sure, I’m disappointed and a little jealous but that doesn’t mean I can’t help my friend be happy, right?”
Stella was speechless. Chiharu was right, she had always been dumped or ditched by all her ex boyfriends and she hadn’t even given herself a chance to pursue her own happiness. Besides, she really had feelings for Kouji and she knew that she would be with him if she just believed, but her heart had always told her that it was really impossible because of the distance, and the fact that she was only his fan. Miracle Beat had thousands of fans, and she was just like a needle in a haystack waiting to be found. She knew it was nearly impossible, but Chiharu was always rooting for her, telling her to believe in herself and to have more confidence. She knew that one day Stella’s dream would come true if she believed, that’s why Stella had always trusted in her words.
