2. In My Dreams

I felt something warm and soft against my lips...

I opened my eyes quickly. His lips were touching mine. My first kiss! Should I kiss him back? I want my kiss to be romantic! I'm not a good kisser. I panicked and kissed him back. I think that we were kissing in like 5 minutes, and then we stopped. I was looking at him, he was looking at me. I was so red that probably my WHOLE body was red too. He was also blushing. He was surprised over I kissed him back. "T-that was my f-first kiss.. " He said nervously tone, he even stumbled over his words. I just looked at him. "I d-didn't know that you would kiss me b-back.." He said. "Wh-wh-wh-what j-just h-happend??! W-why did you k-kiss me? Wh-why did I kiss you back?" I was so shocked and nervous about what just happend. I never liked anyone before. He nervously laughs. "Was it your first kiss too?" He asked, "Y-yeah, but why did you kiss me?" I asked. "I actually had a crush on you for a while now, but you probably can't even recognize me.". I was confused. "We just met. How can you possibly- wait, are you that guy that saved me 5 yearslike.. ? Isamu?", "Ah, I'm so happy you remembered me!"

Fact: Isamu is a Japanese name and the meaning of the name is "brave"

Tae-young saved Kazumi 5 years ago from something very dangerous. That's why she calls him Isamu, because he was brave.

"Oh, Isamu! I missed you so much!" I hugged him, but I saw that he was blushing really hard so I quickly let him go. "Ahem, sorry about that. I was just so happy to see you again. I didn't even get the time to say how grateful I am for you saving me.", "I will always save my lovE- I mean friend? Eheh.". I looked at him. "Friend? We just kissed. Wait, about that kiss?", Isamu nervously giggles and looks away while blushing, "Wh-what about that?", "Isamu! You already confessed. Why are you taking it back!" I got mad and blushed a little. "Hmmm, okie, I love you.", he was blushing like he looked like a tomato! He has teased me so much so now its my turn! "Love me, huh?", "Eheheh, stop making me so nervous, Kat." He hides his face. "Kat?" I asked. "Oh, don't you remember? I love cats and your name almost sound like cat, so I gave you a nickname too!" He said. "You love cats and that's why you nicknamed me Kat?" I teased him again. "Oh god, I'm burning red." He said. He looked at me "Why did you kiss me back? And we kissed for about 5 minutes.".

-in my mind-

Oh, was it 5 minutes? And I kissed him back? Wait does that mean that I also li-

- school bell -

"We have to hurry" he said and took my hand. I blushed.

-In my mind-

"We're holding hands! Does that mean that we are couples now? Wait, what am I thinking! I need to focus on school! F.O.C.U.S KAZUMI! But he is so cute and- no Kazumi! Focus!"

We made it to class in time and sat down. Many girls gave me a look I didn't like, also some of the boys.

- after school -

"Do you want me to drive you home?" Isamu asked. "No, my mother will pick me up soon, but thank you for asking, Isamu!", "Okay, see you tomorrow! Oh, yeah, here" Isamu gives me a paper with some numbers on it- WAIT IS THAT HIS PHONE NUMBER!? "Call me anytime!" His cheek was a little red. "Bye bye! See you, Kat" He smiled. I waved at him. I felt warm inside.

time has passed and it's getting darker. Where is my mother? She should have been here for many hours ago.. I was sitting on a swing at the playground. I felt alone, but somehow not. I felt like there was something here. Somebody here. Somebody watching. Watching me. I looked behind me and saw a shadow. It looks like.. A guy.. My mother always told me to be careful around being alone these times.. I stand up and shouted "Who's there?" The figure disappeared. I got scared and started running. I knew that there was something off. I looked behind me to see that a stranger was running after me. I was crying and trying shout after help, but it was no use. I was so scared that I couldn't say anything. It felt like my mouth was glued together, so I just ran. Then I saw a car. It was driving slow. Torwards me and the door opened. I didn't know what to do, but then someone grabbed my arm.....
