Red.
That's all I can see, pure red. I blinked several times, but I keep seeing the same background repeatedly. What is this? Why am I seeing this? The red background fades away, and it's now dark. Then there is a shadow. It's a person, I can tell. Light surrounds the person, I squint my eyes, still nothing. Why is this happening? What's going on?
"JunJun....." the voice sounded like a girl. So the person's a girl? She walks closer to me, I can see her now. I open my mouth to say something, but nothing came out. What's wrong with me? "JunJun...." she repeats, wrapping her arms around me. I could feel my cheeks burning. My eyes grew bigger by the second. She looks up at me and smiles.
Her smile is so....flawless. Somehow I smile too. I close my eyes and open them again, but the girl disappears. What? Where did she go?
I woke up, looking around at my bedroom. The sun peeked behind the curtains, making me squint my eyes a little. My eyes darted over to the alarm clock, the bright numbers said that it was 7:15. I sighed, sitting up in my bed and rubbing my eyes. "I've been having this dream for how long?" I mumbled, slowly walking to the door.
I bumped into something, no, someone. I lost my balance and fell onto the hard ground. "That's a nice way to be fully awake in five minutes." I was grumpy. "Why the frown JunJun?" I looked up and noticed the person held out her hand. "I just woke up Sayu." I took her hand, and she helped me up. "This isn't like you JunJun, you never wake up early." She's right, this isn't like me at all.
"Yeah, yeah whatever," I walked past her and went to the kitchen. I grabbed a banana, peeling that ugly yellow skin off of it. Sayu rushed past me and was about to open the door, but she looked back at me. "You're acting weird JunJun." She raised an eyebrow. "I'm fine." I replied, taking another bite of my banana. "Is that all you're going to eat?" "Probably." I shrugged my shoulders. "You're going out soon?" "Maybe, aren't you late for something?" "OH YEAH, I HAVE TO MEET ERI!" Sayu slammed the door behind her, I locked the door right after she left. I finished my banana, and threw the peel away.
I had already prepared what to wear, so I got dressed. I unlocked the door, closed it behind me, and locked it. My stomach growled when I stepped out into the crowded and busy streets. "I guess the banana wasn't enough?" I asked myself, my eyes scanning the streets to find some place where I can eat. "I can go to the coffee shop then." I continued my short walk in the sea of people.
The coffee shop wasn't far away from where I was at the moment. Thank goodness, because I didn't want to be too far away from the apartment, I might go back there soon. I entered the shop and got some coffee and sat down at a table, taking a sip. That dream, I have had that dream numerous times. Does it mean something?
I spotted a shorter girl who was reading a book, taking a sip of her coffee too. She was very focused, her eyes scanning over each word. I couldn't help but stare at her. She had that aura, just like the one I had in the dream. But I don't even know her, I should leave her alone. She started laughing, a smile formed on her lips. "Eh?" My eyes expanded in size.
She looks familiar.
A faint blush appeared on my cheeks, my eyes darting down to the half-empty cup. I took my last sip before going to the girl's table. I'm nervous, but this girl reminds me of that girl in my dream.
"Um, is this seat taken?" I asked nervously, my lips tingling. She didn't say anything, but she waved her hand. I sat down anyway, continuing the talk, "How is the story?" "Good." She didn't take her eyes off the book. It's like she's completely absorbed in it! "Excuse me, I'm trying to talk to you." I warned. "Okay then, so-" She stopped and stared at me, her eyes sparkling. "I'm so sorry about that." "It's alright," I laughed. "I had to come over here."
She didn't say anything, but she gave me a dazed look. I stopped laughing, clearing my throat and looking down again. "You know," she pointed to me. "You look very similiar, I think I've seen you in a dream before." I paused, and looked up. "Y-you look familiar too." I stuttered under my breath. She's had the same dream too!?!
"What's your name, and can I get your number?" I asked her immediately. I need to keep in contact with her. I want to talk to her again. "I should ask you the same." She ripped a piece of paper in half, giving me the paper. I wrote down my name and number as quickly as possible. I gave the paper to her, and she gave her paper to me. "We will see each other again." She then got up and left the coffee shop, leaving me with an odd expression. My eyes immediately darted to the paper, and there was her name and number. But what I really liked was her name:
Takahashi Ai
What a beautiful name.
