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.
