Chapter One: Mysterious...
(A story I wrote when I was 11, but changed it at around chapter two, so yeah. Enjoy!)
It was Friday, 6 am but I'm still tired. Maybe from that mission yesterday.
Hi, I'm Eleanor (Yay! I'm on my own story! Eventually it's not my name but it's close.) Im 12 (young, right?) and I'm a secret agent that goes on secret missions, well actually I made myself like that. Yes, I have no agency, but I have my lab underground.
You see, I am a tech whiz and I learned that dimension travel could be possible.
And that's what I did yesterday.
A portal to my biggest fandom
I admit it was a cartoon so I got some serious coding. Ya know, the way you become animated when you go there. And it worked!
*_______*
So today, it's my 50th mission and special mission, and it's introducing my dimension to my fandom, and introducing dimension travel. Perhaps.
Yay! The rooms I reserved at the hotel will be used!!!
It's a good thing it's summer today and I'm alone for now. My family will be back 2 weeks from now, and they don't really know what I've always been doing.
IIITSSS TIIIMMMEE!!!
My watch glowed. It only meant I have to go to my lab.
I went to my walk-in closet, pushed a button and the wood split to reveal a four-foot elevator. It's pretty short, so I still need to sit down.
TADAA!!!
*______*
MY LAAAB!!! (Laboratory!)
Time to do some magic! Joke! It's science!
I deciphered the code to open the portal and viola! Yay!
I tracked the location to where we will reappear, and positioned it at the back of the hotel.
Oook!
I'm climbing the stairs to reach the portal which was blue and white.
Gadgets, check. (w/ phone)
Watch, check.
Hairband, check. (It turns to any kind of helmet.)
Myself, check. Repeat 10 times. Joke!
Here I goooo!!!
*jumps to portal*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The path seemed endless until I landed on solid ground-wait. The world's three dimensional but I noticed something. I examined the back of my hand and saw that wrinkles weren't there. It only means that *looks up*
0___0
*___*
It worked!!!
YESSSSSSSS!!!
I'm at Daedo City!!!
I looked at my phone, specifically the GPS and looked for the school where they are.
Its 526 meters from here.
Somehow, I need to be invisible so I took my invisibility jacket and wore it.
Let's goo!!!
~Dolly~
The bell rang, and I went for my locker and took an envelope. For what?
Inside is a letter telling my feelings for a boy. My plan is to keep this envelope to his locker so that he will see this.
I opened my locker and a gust of wind blew, making the papers fly.
I closed the locker and the wind stopped and I opened the locker again. Wait-WHERE'S THE LETTER?
I saw it lying on the floor, but before I could touch it, the wind made it fly!
Why do I deserve to be this miserable?
I catched for the letter, still flying.
"Sorry!"
"Excuse me!"
"Mianhaeyo!"
The wind stopped, and the envelope landed on the ground.
Waaah! I can't stop running!
I came to a halt when I stepped on the letter and fell. Almost.
I felt I bumped into someone and I fell with my back touching the floor and I felt something hard and soft at the same time touch my face.
I saw a boy with blue eyes that has a tincture of purple, he has black hair and he has headphones with engraved Z's dangling on his neck. It's him.
And he's on top of me!!!
Our faces were just an inch apart, it seemed like we could kiss any moment now
Spell AWKWARD.
M-E-A-N-D-H-I-M.
"Ehem!"
I looked to my left and Dylan looked to his right. We saw two boys our age.
"Ryan!"
We stood up greeting the two.
These two are twins. The one with blue polo is Ryan, and the one in a green jacket is Kory.
The two might have the same appearances; brown hair, brown eyes, and pale skin, but they have different personalities. Ryan always thinks before he does, humble but he explodes at some cases. Kory is boastful and straightforward at decisions, and is accident-prone or somehow clumsy.
Should I describe Dylan too? Fine!!!
He's the frowning type in our team, probably due to his thick eyebrows. When he smiles, I can't ignore looking on his face. But I haven't seen him smile truly when looking at me. He's calm, serious, and he always listens to music, that's why he has those headphones.
Hes too cute, I can't resist it! Somehow, I acted too obvious since two years ago for (Look at seasons 3-16)
"Dolly, helloooo?"
The question is, does he feel the same?
"Hey! Are you making your own universe?"
I think-
"DOLLY!!!"
"Aish. That hurts you know!"
Why would he shout that loud?!
"Dolly, is this yours?"
I saw him holding an envelope... my envelope!!!
"Gimme that!"
Fine, I'm rude. .-
"Is that a love letter?"
"For whom?”
Did Dylan just frown?
Stupid assuming me. Why would he even be jealous?
Besides, he always frowns on serious things.
Wait-lovelife isn't a serious matter, right?
"No, it's not."
"C'mon Dolly, just because were sixth graders doesn't mean we can't be admirers!"
"Right, Dylan?"
The two looked at Dylan and so did I.
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Ugh!"
Does that mean... HE LIKES A GIRL ALREADY??!! 0_____0
~Ryan~
Wait a minute; I think I forgot my guitar.
I went to the backyard, but I heard a girl's voice singing in a different language and the soft playing of a keyboard.
It was from the music room, about one meter away. I peeked at the window and saw a black haired girl wearing a black jacket the same as Neon's. Her back was facing the window so I couldn't see her face.
This voice isn't the best voice I've heard, but I'll definitely be looking for it. For the first time ever, I fell in love with a girl because of her voice.
I listened at her for some time, not caring about the lyrics but her voice.
Then she stopped. Was she thinking that someone might be watching her?
"Ryan! We were looking for you!"
I looked behind me and saw Dolly walking close to me.
"I saw you staring at the music room. What were you looking at?"
"Well, there's this girl-" I pointed behind me and turned around to show her, but the keyboard is off and the mysterious girl disappeared.
"S-She was standing there a moment ago!"
"Who?"
"I saw a girl playing the keyboard a minute ago in the music room."
"But the keyboard's off. And the walls of the music room reflect sound so well that if she ran away the sound might have echoed around the room and we could've heard it. Maybe you were just seeing things."
"But she was singing an unfamiliar song in a different language!"
"Bwo?"
"Now tell me I wasn't seeing things at all."
She looked at me directly before giving a reply.
"Fine, whatever you say. I actually heard keys being played when I got here. Never mind, let's just go home."
~Eleanor~
Yay! I'm here!
But-
Classes has ended already.
Waah!!! T^T
Nevermind, I'll play this keyboard here.
I played an intro, and sang the chorus of a song.
But I thought of another song and played it.
Umiiyak ka na naman
Lumapit ka't sabihin ang dahilan
Bat ka lumuluha
Bat ka lumuluha
Tahan na
Ako, ako ang kaibigan mo
Di mawawala sa piling mo
Dumaan man ang mga bagyo
Andito lang ako para sayo
Ako, ako ang kaibigan mo
Di mawawala sa piling mo
At kahit na-
I heard soft thuds of footsteps. Someone's coming.
"Ryan! We were looking for you!"
Ryan?
I looked behind me and seeing people, I turned the keyboard off and zipped the jacket I'm wearing. That's the time I become invisible.
I look at the window and realized that Ryan was watching me all the time. And it was Dolly who was calling him.
"I saw you staring at the music room. What were you looking at?"
"Well, there's this girl-" he pointed behind him and turned around to show her, but he got a shocked and a disappointed face.
"S-She was standing there a moment ago!"
"Who?"
"I saw a girl playing the keyboard a minute ago in the music room."
"But the keyboard's off. And the walls of the music room reflect sound so well that if she ran away the sound might have echoed around the room and we could've heard it. Maybe you were just seeing things."
I never knew she's a smart one. But I'm smarter. Hehe...
"But she was singing an unfamiliar song in a different language!"
"Bwo?"
"Now tell me I wasn't seeing things at all."
"Fine, whatever you say. I actually heard keys being played when I got here. Never mind, let's go home."
~Dolly~
"
Guys, I planned a surprise camp trip."
"Really?"
"But-"
"Mwoya?"
"The others can't go. Nathan and Timmy still need space, Officer Oh is on duty, and Neon's busy with his girlfriend. So it looks like it's just us four. Dolly, you don't mind? I mean, without Officer Oh you're the only girl here."
"It's ok, as long as this camping trip will turn out good. Besides, I spent four years of my life being with guys."
"So, its all okay. Now, we could have our camp trip in a tent.'
“Bwo?" Me and Dylan shouted in unison, and it made me blush.
"Hehe... sorry if I didn't tell you. The camping trip was literally a camp. But don't worry, I'm sure it'll be fun. Besides, summers two weeks from now, right?"
"Right. And we still have lots of homework to do."
"What exactly?"
"The book review, the graphs, the wind vane and anemometer, and the role play."
"And that's why we don't have classes for a week! Besides, we have 9 days without school. So our camp is three nights and four days then we have 5 days to do our homework!"
Kory said, while using his fingers to solve.
"Ok, but I'll finish my book review first before we go.”
"You started already? How many words?"
"Let me guess... 129 words."
"I finished 204 out of 800 words."
"I still didn't start actually. I was working on something else on our free time."
Kory smirked. "The love letter? C'mon Dolly! We already know the guy so don't hide it! It's actually pretty obvious!"
"Who?"
Kory's eyes widened with joy. It's pretty obvious what that meant.
"Hmm... looks like someone's jealous!"
"No, I'm not."
He said coldly, still wearing that frown on his face. With sarcasm, Kory replied.
"Yeah, right. You're not."
"Kory, could you stop talking nonsense?"
"Am I? Well, talking about crushes is interesting in any angle. So I don't count it as nonsense."
"My home's here. Annyonghi!"
"Annyonghi!"
I waved goodbye at the three, and when I got in, I put off my shoes.
"Mom, I'm home!"
"Arasso, I'll just prepare the ramyeon."
Whatevs. I dont care about my mom much. I just want myself to be independent, after all the adventures we had. Wonder what's gonna happen tomorrow?
I changed my uniform to my outfit. I quitted my hoodie and perky ribbons, my hair's long in its high pigtails with the orange hairband. Now I wear a tight off-shouldered rose colored shirt and a free flowing light blue skirt.
I checked my blog and saw that 20K users have started following me. Not bad for an elementary student.
I got ready for a live video. I got my camera, my tripod, and my smartphone for the comments and questions.
I put some BB cream on my face and a bit of lip gloss and blush-on.
Camera, check!
Make-up, check!
Tidy room, check!
Time for a video!
*Click!*
"Hi loyal viewers! This is me, Dolly Park from Gyeoljeong Live. I'm just going to answer some questions and read comments. Please tune in for my camping trip blog tomorrow."
I began scrolling on my smartphone and read some.
"From AkaFan: Do you have a boyfriend?"
"Of course not. I'm still in the 6th grade."
"From GraceFul: I love the Christmas Party video. You and your handsome classmate are so cute together in playing the Paper Dance.”
"You mean Dylan? Nevermind, lets go on."
"From RedFire: Could I suit you?"
"Wow! Redfire, no thanks. I'm still 12. But if you're on middle school maybe just an admirer for now, ok? Besides, there's a guy I like recently. Oh wait! That's not it. Well..."
I played with my free locks.
"I've actually been crushing on him for two years straight. I just don't know, if you guys knew who he is, you can't say it isn't obvious. He's actually a close friend of mine, and we do have similarities. I frown sometimes, his wrinkles in his forehead also shows... haha... a lot!"
"I really don't know what I'm talking about right now, but if you want to know who my crush is, just ask my bestfriend, Leila. But since I told her that if she told anyone about him, I will tell everything about her crush. So, mianhamnida!"
Wanna know who he is? Kory. Funny right? Whats gotten into her?
"So, that's all for today! Hope you enjoyed this video. Please follow me on Facechat for more! I also accept friend requests! But that depends on me, hehe..."
“And again, please tune in for my camping trip blog days from now. Thanks for watching!"
*Click!*
"Haaay..."
I got an intermediate pad and started my book review.
~Dylan~
"Dad, I'm home!"
"How was school?"
"The normal ways. Ryan said well be having a camp tomorrow."
"I've heard from Franklin. Did you agree?"
"Ne, except that only the four of us will be there."
"I see-oh no! The roast!"
That's Dad, alright.
Out of the blue, my mind flashbacked on what happened half an hour ago.
"Is that a love letter?"
"For whom?”
"No, its not."
"C'mon Dolly, just because were sixth graders doesn't mean we can't be admirers!"
"Right, Dylan?"
"Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Ugh!"
I frowned for no reason. In my mind there was nothing, but I felt that feeling when you get jealous. Jealous because what?
Because the guy is so lucky to have an admirer, or Dolly should give the letter to me and not hi-WHAT AM I EVEN THINKING???!!!!
Argh!
I pulled my hair and laid on my bed.
…
…
…
I'm staring at the ceiling. Lot's of things enter my mind.
~~~~~~~~~~~
"Noona?"
"Dylan, how many times did I tell you to sweep the floor?!"
"Noona-"
She suddenly pulled my hair.
"Ahh! Noona! Please! Ahh!"
She pulled me in the corner of our bedroom and I hit the wall hard. I felt my cheeks get wet from tears.
"You tell Dad a word and youre dead meat."
I just nodded.
~~~~~~~~~
I tiptoed on the tiled floor, with my pair of shoes in one hand and my other hand in one strap of the backpack I'm wearing. Noona stirred in her sleep, but not enough to wake her up.
I made it to the door, so I wore my shoes and scurried off.
~~~~~~~~~~~
Five years have passed since that happened. After that I became an orphan, till that accident happened.
Now I'm stronger, but I'm still the same young Dylan by heart.
I didn't tell anything to the others, just Dad. My past was too painful to talk about. And I hate crying in front of people, now that they treat me as the most serious in the group.
Great. Depression strikes me again. Like the same young Dylan, I cry. I'm already 12, but still cries like I'm a six year old.
My phone suddenly rang, I wiped my eyes and unlocked the screen.
Dolly: Ya, you finished the book review? By the way, I posted a new update on Gyeoljeong Live.
I suddenly look on my photos and tap a picture.
It portrayed Dolly taking a selfie and I was accidentally seen. I was actually smiling at that time because of her new look.
I'm still lying on my bed, looking at her.
My lips form a smile. A wide smile.
"Why could only you do this to me?"
And again, I regained energy. Ever since I met her, I began to feel happy in little ways. She's also the frowning type, but I soon noticed that she's treating me like Im special to her.
She's actually jolly, but I think she and Kory have more similarities than we do.
That was out of the blue.
What did she send anyway?
I looked at my messages and looked for her at my contacts.
Dolly: Ya, you finished the book review? By the way, I posted a new update on Gyeoljeong Live.
Me: A new blog?
After two minutes she replied.
Dolly: Aniyo, just an update. 20K users have been following me!!! *___*
Me: That's good to hear. I'll be watching that.
Dolly: Arasso.
Me: What are you doing?
Dolly: Writing book review.
Me: Same. I'll watch the video later.
I locked my phone, and sat on my desk and continued writing my book review with my headphones on my ears.
~Third Person~
While Dylan is busy writing, a female figure shows on a corner near the ceiling like she's pinned there.
"A camp eh? Looks like tomorrows gonna be a great time."
An evil smile crept on her face, before disappearing.
