Chapter 1

Every person has a hobby. Some love music, some love books, some loves writing, some loves learning or studying, some love poetry and many more.

And yes, it's every person. That includes me. I might be called weird if i don't have one. I might be even called 'alien' or 'a person came from another world' for that.

What's my hobby is? It's Lucid Dreaming.

Well, it's not just some Lucid Dreaming that you can create some scenarios and etc, but i can also dream travel. I can travel back in time in the past. But, only in the past.

And of course, not only it has beautiful dreams, but there's also the painful one.

A dream that i've been always dreaming. A man who i only met in my dream for only one day, and after that, I can't meet him anymore.

Who is he?

Why i wish to meet him?

Why my heart feels like longing for him?

After that, i found myself crying in front of the mirror. Without any reasons, i felt deep pain.

‘January 23, 2030’

I woke up in the sound of alarm. I turned it off and after 5 minutes, it rang again. I groaned at sat on the bed while my eyes still not open. I turned off the alarm clock again and after for about 5 minutes, it rang again. Pissed, i turned off the alarm clocked and open my eyes, groaning. When i look at the time, i quickly jump off the bed. Took a quick shower and skipped breakfast and after that, i quickly got in the car.

I'm just gonna buy some food after my surgery today.

And yes, i'm a Doctor of San Pedro Hospital in Philippines, Davao. A Surgeon Graduate, valecdictorian in class, and one of the top ranking Doctors in Philippines.

While driving, my phone suddenly rang and i answer it through bluetooth-earphones.

"Doctor Riley Elise De Amelio speaking." I said in a soft tone.

"Riley! Where are you?! Doc William is so pissed! We need to start the surgery operation within 15 minutes!" i cuss through the back of my head. I calmed my self down and cleared my throat.

"Yes, yes. I'm on my way to the Hospital Jane, don't worry. I'm on my way." She sigh.

"Fine, fine. Just hurry it up!" She end the call and when it happened, i curse loudly inside the car. I'm stuck at the traffic!! I look at my watch and sad to say that it's 8:50 am. The surgery will start at 9:00 am and 'luckily" i'm stuck to this da*n traffic and to think that it's 8:50 am. Da*n! I'm really late! When the traffic lights turned green, i quickly drove off and because i'm in a hurry, I never noticed that there was an oncoming truck

It suddenly turned around causing me to hit my car and throw me on to the next post of the road.

I can hear a flat line in my ears, a faded voices, until my eyes becomes blurry.

"Elise? Elise? ELISE!!" I suddenly woke up to someone who called me. It's Aoi. Wait.. Aoi? Aoi Tomyuka?

"Are you okay?" Aoi, whispered.

"Elise-san. Are you listening to me?" I look at the professor who's talking Japanese. It was shocking to hear.

"Yes. I'm listening." I answered in Japanese.

"Then, please answer this in the board." I look at my classmates then, i saw Nathan, Hiro, Hotaru, Haruki, Sakura and Aoi.

Their faces are familiar..

Wait, don't tell me..

I CAME BACK IN MY PAST LIFE BY LUCID DREAMING?!

But how come?!

Aoi Tomyuka, my best friend in Japan where i studied since High School to College, I returned to the Philippines to study medicine and I went abroad again because of my grades for Medical Training.

Sakura Hazumi, the sharp-tongue type of girl pero kabarkada ko rin siya. She's the top of the class and also in our circle of friends.

Hiro Hiyoshima, the smart-*** one and always ‘The Second Top’ of our class. He was very quiet with us, even in class.

Nathan Anderson, a half Japanese and American. Well, you can tell that he's like a playboy and he doesn't mind if he got low grades or higher grades. All he wants is to have fun. He even dropped out when we all graduate.

Hotaru & Haruki Satorou, the twins with mathematical minds. Always on the third place in principal's list.

We're all friends but in the end after I returned to the philippines, we had no communications. All i can see is that they've got their dream jobs and have their own kids.

But... I should supposed to be Lucid Dreaming while travelling back in time right? Why... why i'm here?

All i could remember is a car crash, a fade sound of sirens, fade voices and a hot stream in my head.

Am i dead?! Is this the afterlife?!

"MS. DE AMELIO!" i suddenly stood up out of panic.

"YES SIR?!" The professor sigh and he just dismissed me. Huh?

I sat down and observe while the class still on-going.

The alarm school rings and it's time for Lunch Break. Like in the past, everything happens was exactly the thing happened. The lessons, the clock, the flowers, everything.

So.. i did really came back from my present to the past huh? But.. how and why? That's the answer i'm going to look on.

If i came back to the past, what's the date and year right now?

"oi, Elise? Are you really okay?" Aoi asked me with concern.

"I'm fine, Aoi. By the way, what date and year are we?" I asked her.

"Uhm.. it's Year 2014 January 23th." I was surprised by what she said. January 23th? It's the same date, the day of my accident! But.. the year is different.. to count back i'm in 17 years back in time!

"Hey Elise! If you're not okay, and if you're feeling sad, tell me, i'm here as your brother anyways." Nathan winked at me and Hiro suddenly kicked him.

My tears suddenly streamed down in my face when Nathan said that. In my High School life, i remember that Nathan always said that to us everytime we felt like the world hated us or if we feel sad about relationships.

Is this really real? Did i really came back to the past? But... Why? How? Suddenly i remembered something.

Aoi died because of her abusive husband.

Nathan died because of his enemy who's always envy of him, poisoned by him. Haru died at the plane crash while Hotarou died because of depression. Hiro died also, from depression because of his wife's death while Sakura and Me was the only person in our friendship survived.

"YOU MADE ELISE CRY! LOOK WHAT YOU'VE DONE, IDIOT!" they suddenly blamed Nathan. I laughed.

"Guys... you're all alive.. thank goodness.. THANK GOODNESS!" I hugged all of them. I was crying not because of pain. But because of how happy i was and how i regretted it that I returned to the Philippines just for my dream.

"Are you sure you're okay, Elise?" I nod.

A few minutes later, Nathan suddenly joked so we suddenly laughed and I stopped crying. After that, we decided to go to the cafeteria and just eat.

The bell rang and it's 4:00 pm and like the same in the past, I went to the Book Club and there I stayed first. President Myra and Vice-president Abigail were absent as of now. 4:30 pm and I decided to leave the book club and lock the room door. But before I go home, I go to the Rooftop area where I can see the sunset.

4:50 pm and I also got to the roof top, because this school is quite high so a few minutes before I can go to the roof top, I even went to the teacher's office to put the club room keys on our adviser.

When I arrived, it was almost sunset and I was amazed at the beauty of the sunset. On the side of the roof, i saw a boy's shadow. Suddenly my heart beat faster. My body suddenly moves on it's own and I could do nothing but approach the man slowly. I stopped my tracks and ask 2 meters apart.

"Who are you?" I ask in Japanese. The man looked surprised, he looked at me and my heart beat faster when I saw his face.

His hair was dark as the dark grey sky, his eyes were ocean blue perfect match for his hair, his fair skin and pink lips. The exact man that i've been dreaming in my whole dream just for one night.

"You're Riley Elise right?"
