"Bec! Make it quick! I have to go now!" Joel was yelling from the car. "Can't you be a bit more patient? Geez..." Bec replied as he was putting on his shoes. "I've no time to be patient! U have work in half an hour and I STILL have to send you to your college. FASTER!" Joel was shouting at the top of his lungs. "You don't have to be that angry." Bec just muttered. "WHAT?!" Joel asked. "Nothing. Just drive" Bec replied as he closed the car door. 'You maybe 3 minutes older than me but it feels like 30 years. So grumpy!' Bec was thinking.

Joel dropped Bec off in front of AdamLambert College and sped off to work. He gave a sigh of relief as he needn't put up with his brother's annoying acts for the rest of the day. 'I wonder when will I see her again...?' Joel thought, but he shook the thought off.

While Jay was walking out of the school, Leanne caught up with her. "Hey, Jay! Where are you going? I don't see your car around." Leanne exclaimed. "Ha ha! I'm going to dad's shop today" Jay replied cheerily. "Erm...Jay, you do know that your dad's company is not just a single store but a chain of it, right? Its nationwide!" Leanne said. "Oh, really? Well, isn't that amazing! Ha ha!" Jay said politely. 'Weird person' Leanne thought jokingly. "You know, Jay, I think I'm in love!" Leanne confessed to Jay while they were in the bus on the way to the city. "Huh? What?" Jay was snapped back form her memories of the dream. "I said, I think I'm in love!" Leanne repeated excitedly. "Oh, I see. Who is the lucky guy?" Jay asked. "You know the guy you met the other day in your dad's store?" Leanne said. "Yeah. Why? Is he the one you're on love with?" Jay asked back. "Yeah! He is so good looking! I've been there several times just to see him! I hope he doesn't think of me as a stalker though!" Leanne suddenly went into panic mode. "I'm sure he doesn't think of you like that!" Jay said with a firm yet gentle way. Leanne was convinced immediately. "Yeah. You're right! What about you, Jay? Anyone you're interested with? He he!" Leanne asked with a grin on her face. 'How the heck am I supposed to say I'm interested with a guy whom I've no idea of his identity?! I was supposed to find out today anyways.' Jay was freaking out a little bit but calmed down and replied "No. No one at all"

When they arrived in front of the store, Leanne took a deep breath. "Here I go!" She said as she stepped in. The entrance to the store gave a mellow buzz sound. "How may I help you?" A girl popped up from their backs. Leanne was a bit disappointed because it wasn't Joel who came. Jay could tell Leanne felt a little upset, so she distracted the girl. "Can you show me around? Only me." Jay said. The sales girl felt a little bit on an awkwardness in the air so she quickly said yes and started showing Jay around. Leanne wondered on her own. 'I wonder where he went' Leanne thought as she glanced through some of the speakers on display.

###^^^###^^^###

'I wonder when will she come?' Joel was sitting behind the store's counter. It was quite slow in business today, so he didn't have much work to do. "Joel Cleon. Come to my office, please." Joel's heart skipped a beat. 'Did I do something wrong?!' Joel was panicking. The manager was seated behind his desk. His face was serious and fierce. "Do you know why I called you in, Joel?" the manager asked. 'Man, this feels like being in a principal's office!' Joel thought. "I'm not sure, sir." Joel replied. "Well, you're being promoted to the manager. Congratulations." The manager said a matter of fact-ly. "What? You mean, I'm taking over your position?" Joel asked, baffled. "Yes, I'm transferring to another branch in Hokkaido, and there's no one more suitable for this job than you. Please accept this offer." "GLADLY! Thank you sir!" Joel said, obviously hyped up about the new position. "You start today, Joel, the manager!" The, no ex-manager said with a proud smile. 'She'll be the first person I'm gonna tell this good news to!'

'I wonder where is she?' Joel asked no one in particular. That was when he saw the girl of his dreams standing by the computers. 'My angel!'

The Begining

She quietly read the Bible in her room. "-Genesis chapter one, verse one; At the beginning, God created the Heavens and the Earth.- No, I think God created time before the Heavens and the Earth. 'Beginning' symbolizes time. And time was created first before anything else." She was whispering to herself, then went deep into thoughts. In the end, she went online in Windows Live Messenger (MSN) and Facebook (FB). She looked through her list of people online. Mayne were just school mates. She was searching for one specific name. She repeated the name 'Same' as she scrolled through. "Ah! There you are!" she exclaimed when she found Same's name in the online list. She started a simple chat with him.

Jay:Hey~How was your day?

Same:As usual. School troubles, love troubles and puberty troubles.

Jay:LOL. What? PUBERTY? Are you serious?

Same: Lolz, yeah. Pimples are popping out quite badly lately.

Jay: Did you drink enough water? Wash your face properly and have a proper diet?

Same: yeah, I drank enough water. I was my face when ever I feel like its getting oily but...yeah, the diet...

Jay: Can't eat too much oily food, ok!

Same: OK! So how was your day?

Jay: Sucks...

Jay told Same about the problem with Larcon and her dad's foolish agreement. After telling the whole story, the only thing Same could say was "Rich people's problems are way more complicated". Jay just wished he had helped a bit more than a pointless comment. After chatting about the latest Japanese comics and cartoons- or as the Japanese would call it 'manga' and 'anime'- they both logged off and went to bed. The only thing that was running through Jay's head was the really cute worker in her dad's electronics store. Joel. "I wonder what is his full name. Which church does he attend? Does he have FB? But with a name like 'Joel' is too common. There must be millions of people out there named 'Joel'" In the end, Jay dozed off with the last thought in her mind was Joel.

Jay found herself standing on the beach with two guys in front of her. Their backs were facing her. She was very curious about them. She reached her hand out but before she could touch them, they turned towards her. She recognized one of them as Joel and the one next to him looked almost the same as Joel. Except, he had glasses on with a big goofy smile. She felt her heart skipped a beat. Who is that? Joel's brother? A twin maybe? Joel looked at Jay with the eyes of pain and suffering. She felt so heart broken by his expression. He was definitely the opposite of the one with glasses -who was still wearing that goofy smile.

Jay woke up from her dream and could feel both nervous and upset. She felt nervous because of the guy in glasses and upset because of Joel's painful expression. She don't know what to do, but she is sure she has to talk to Joel. "Tomorrow, I shall visit him" She sighed and went back to sleep.

~~**~~**~~

Joel was in his room. He was positioned on his bed with his guitar on his lap and a notepad and a pen in his hands. "What should I write next?". Bec stepped into the room with a skeptical look on his face. "Oi! What are you doing?". "Get lost! I'm busy" Joe replied in an annoyed tone. "Writing about a girl?" Bec inquired further. Joel just ignored him. 'How can I have such an annoying person as my brother?!' All of a sudden, they both sneezed three times in a row in unison. When they have regained their composure, they stared st each other skeptically. "What the heck was that?" Bec asked. Joel just shrugged it off and continued writing in his notepad. 'Somebody must be thinking of us. Ha ha!' Joel thought jokingly.

Patience is a virtue

Caleb-Caleb is a nice guy. Super fun to be with and funny as can be! Not a boring day goes by when he is around. Caleb studies in Astheral High as well but he only got in there under a scholarship. He has got the smarts, charms and personality of an Astheral worthy student. But only because of his status (being from a normal family), he is mostly looked down on. However, his personality makes it so that he doesn't feel down. And he has never felt so down about being from a normal family while in Astheral.

***~~~***...Fairytale...***~~~***

"Jaydene! Wait up!" Leanne called to Jay as she was going down the staircase to the canteen. "Yes, president Leanne?" Jay asked turning towards Leanne. "I need your help" Leanne said while panting because she had ran the whole block looking for Jaydene. "With what, pres?" "With the student class transfer settings" Leanne looked serious. It was like a business deal. However, Jay didn't really get the idea of the seriousness. "Why me? I thought you've got the student council to help you out?" Jay asked innocently. "Well, the seniors are on rest period because they are having their entrance exams so we're kinda short on people. And I only ask trusted people to handle this job"

Next thing Jay knew, she was in the student council office sorting out student body files and putting them according to the list prepared by Leanne. "Erm...pres, when you say 'short on people'...did you mean you've NO ONE to help you out at all?" Jay was kinda confused. "Well...." Leanne didn't know how to tell her. She felt quite embarrassed. "Err...you see. The student council and teachers agreed on me doing this troublesome job because I was late to the council meeting yesterday. I have to finish it up by today and....and I...errr...well, I have a...a date tonight. So I can't stay back too long" At this point, Leanne was blushing furiously. "You don't have to be embarrassed about it, pres. I understand. But next time, just tell me the truth, OK?" Jay looked at Leanne with a smile that means serious. "So, how come this year's arrangements are according to grades?" Jay asked Leanne. "Well, I'm not sure. I missed the whole discussion on that part. I just know that I have to arrange all these files according to this list" Leanne said still embarrassed. "I see...Is it OK if we flip through some of these files?" Jay asked as she stared into the picture of a good looking student's picture. "No, I'm sorry." Leanne said. "Okay then..." 'He is gonna be in my class anyways.'

"Thank you so much for the help today! I'll repay you! Tell me what do you want?" Leanne asked Jay while they were walking towards the school's main entrance. "Its OK. As long as I've been of good help, I'm satisfied enough" Jay said giving her usual polite smile. "You know, Jay, you're the best! Well, I gotta go now! Its already 6 o'clock! My date is at 7! Goodbye, Jay!" Leanne sped off towards her car. Jay just waved at Leanne's back. She didn't say a word to her as she was very tired. 'Caleb...interesting name...'. Jay went into her car and her driver brought her home in a hurry. "Why are you speeding, driver?" Jay asked. "I'm sorry, Young Miss, but I was ordered by your father to bring you home immediately before sun down."

As Jay stepped into the house, she could feel something wasn't right. Something is about to happen and she is sure about it. She went into her father's office and saw him with another man sitting at the sofas. Tea was served to the visitor and they were having a good laugh together. The visitor must be a friend. "Ah, Jaydene, my daughter, please come in!" Jay's father called her in. "Please don't mind me" Jay said as she stepped into the office. "Honey, please meet Mr. Garvey." "Nice to meet you, sir" "Nice to meet you too, young lady. Please meet my son as well, Larcon." Mr. Garvey introduced Lorcan who was sitting out of Jay's view. "My son has said a lot about you, young lady." "Oh, really, sir?" Jay asked in a polite yet obviously disturbed tone. "Daughter, Mr. Garvey and I have talked about things and we've decided that you and Lorcan here get married." He was beaming with joy as he said this. "I see. Do I have any say in this situation, at all? Or has the decision been confirmed?" Jay asked with a slight dissatisfaction in her voice. She noticed a grin on Lorcan's face from the corner of her eyes. Mr. Garvey and Jay's dad didn't know what to reply Jay so they just laughed it off. "Lets plan for an engagement party soon! I'm so excited! Lets do it as soon as possible!" Mr. Garvey said to Jay's dad.

When the two Garveys left, Jay went to her father's office. "Dad! You cannot do this to your family! Have you any idea how this could destroy the name of the Carys'! Do you want our name to be smeared with the Garveys'?" Jay was very upset. "Honey, I was forced into making that decision. He is the owner of the largest electrical company. They can take over our company and put us into bankruptcy!" Mr. Carys was trying to coax Jay. "Dad, Lorcan is a gigantic egoistic bastard! How can I marry a guy like that? How come I can't choose my freedom in this when Louise gets to marry anyone he wants? Isn't this bloody unfair?" Jay is almost screaming at the top of her lungs. "Honey, please bear with it for now. I'll try to get out of this, OK?" Mr. Carys was having a hard time to calm Jay down.

"What about my chance to fall in love?! To go through all those happy and sad emotions of being in love? What about my whole teenage life? Why must it be destroyed?! ARRGGHHH!!! What about that super cute guy, Caleb? I wanna get to know him more. To see if he is as good as he looks. And what about that super nice guy, Joel from dad's store? Can't I live a normal life?!" Jaydene was almost screaming at the top of her lungs as she thought of all these things. She got fed up. She turned on her stereo and went to sleep. Frustrated.

Arrival? NO! A Rival!

My fairytale story.

Same. Same is Jaydene's internet "bestfriend". They have never met in real life but in cyber life, they chat all the time. Jay finds Same as a very funny person and easy to tease. Jay knew about Same when she was doing some research with her friends on a school project when her friend decided to show Jay Same's blog because the stories he posts up are very interesting. Jay commented on his posts and they soon started chatting through MSN. As they learnt more about each other, Jay learnt that Same is a normal teenager who goes to high school and is a big fan of Japanese comics and cartoons. Jay found this very refreshing because she feels that she can be herself around him and not act like a "proper lady" all the time. They got so close to each other, they knew EVERY secret about each other.

Lorcan. Lorcan is another spoilt brat. His dad owns the biggest electronic company in the country and he is stinking rich. He just moved into the city when his father's business expanded to the biggest city. He is a stubborn and rude person. No matter what, he wants things his way!

***~***~***

Jaydene was in her car on the way to school. As usual, she would be dropped off at the main entrance to Astheral High. "Good morning, Jaydene!" Her classmates greeted her as she entered the classroom. "G'morning" She replied as she walked towards her table. Making sure she smiles at them too. The girls who sat around her table turned to her and asked "Hey, you heard about a new kid?" one of them asked. The other said "Yeah, heard he is sooo hot! What do you think, Jay?". Jay simply replied "Don't know. I guess we'll find out later, won't we?" she smiled politely at them. "You're no fun, Jay. You're always being so poised and proper." another said. "Yeah, Jay. Loosen up a bit!" the first girl said. Just then, the class president, Leanne over heard them and said "You three, give her some space. She is just being who she is. Why can't you respect her decisions?". "Sorry, pres" All three said at once. "Don't apologize to me. Apologize to Jaydene". Jay quickly said "Oh, please no. I'm fine with it" while giving a small laugh. Waving it off.

Then, the teacher walked in. Everybody went to their places and waited for the teacher to began class. "Class, today we have a new student joining us. His name is Lorcan. Lorcan entered the class. His face help a smirk. All the girls went crazy with his good looks and his charming smile. Except for Jaydene. She wasn't moved nor was she bothered. And her reaction pricked Larcon's interest. The teacher broke the silent worship moment by saying "Since Larcon is new here, we shall give him a partner to show him around the school. And usually, this is the class president's job. How about it president Leanne?". "I'm very fine with it, teacher!" Leanne replied. "But I'm not" Larcon said with an annoyed look on his face. This made Jordan, the guy whose got a crush on Leanne, get angry. "Isn't Leanne good enough for you, Mr. Larcon?!" Jordan asked angrily. Larcon only grinned back. "She is very well fine for me, Mister. But I'm afraid I might pressure her on her work too much. Since she is the class president, she must have loads to do. So I thought why not let someone else do it?". Larcon's replied stunned the class. He showed his 'thoughtful side'. It made the girls fall for him even more, it made the guys admire his thoughtfulness and it even moved the old teacher's heart. All of them aside Jaydene. "Teacher, I hpe you don't mind it if I choose my own partner?". "Not at all! Please, go ahead!". "Very well then, I choose you! The one with the white glasses over there" Larcon said as he pointed towards Jaydene. "I refuse your kind offer, Mr. Larcon. But I am busy as well. Find someone else" Jaydene replied coldly. And it only made Larcon more interested in her. "Then I shall have no one else if not only you, mi lady" Larcon said with a Frence accent. Jaydene only replied "Do as you wish, but put me out of it". And class started.

During science class, Larcon was alone. In Science, everyone needs a partner yet he couldn't find anyone to be his partner because everyone already have one. He didn't like being left out. "Miss Dorsy. I would like to have a partner as well. But I can't find any loner." Larcon said with a pouty face to Miss Dorsy, the Science teacher. "Well..." Miss Dorsy started "You can partner up with Jaydene. Her partner just moved to a different school last week.". "Awesome!" Larcon couldn't help keep his little joy from showing. "Have fun then, Larcon" Miss Dorsy said with a warm smile. "Hello, beautiful. And how are you today?" Larcon tried his usual pick up lines. "The sky sure is amazing huh? But not as amazing as Y-O-U!" He ended with a wink. Jaydene barely even looked at him. She was too engrossed in her encyclopedia. "Hey, why won't you talk to me?!" Larcon was angry. "I have no reason to" was her simple reply. "How dare you! I tried to be nice" Larcon was very angry. "You came to me first. I've no interest in you." Jay replied coolly. "Well, guess what, I'm stuck with you for the rest of the bloody term in science! You better start liking me and RESPECTing me!" Larcon claimed loudly. "Sure, my king" Jay replied sarcastically.

"Hey, Jay! Wanna go get the material for arts class today?" Leanne asked Jaydene as the last bell rang. "Sure!" Jaydene replied with a polite smile. "Great! Then we can take the bus together! But, I hope you don't mind, I have to stop by a computer shop for a while" Leanne asked with a guilty look on her face. "No problem at all, pres. As long as we can buy the art materials" Jay said with the same smile. They took the bus to the city's central. Right after buying the art supplies, they stooped by the computer shop Leanne was talking about. "Wow. This is not a computer shop but an electrical shop!" Jaydene said as she was looking at the numerous TV screens on the walls. "Well, yes. Haven't you been in an electrical store before?" Leanne asked quite surprised about Jaydene's reactions. "You see, my dad owns a small electronics store. Its called Entratainment Chain. He usually buys things from his own store and it will be delivered so I've never really been into one." Jaydene said. "Errmm....Jay, this IS Entratainment Chain" Leanne said. "Wow! I see!" Jay said with even more interest in her eyes. "How may I help you, Miss?" The assistant asked. "Erm...well..." Jay didn't know exactly what to ask "maybe you can show me around? Mister...." Jay turned around to look at the assistant and was surprised to find a good looking guy in around his early twenties. His name tag spelt Joel. "Mister Joel." Jaydene ended. "Very well, miss". Leanne went home as Joel started showing Jay around the store. He patiently explained every detail of the electronical items in the store. After a couple of hours, Joel said "Miss, I'm terribly sorry but my shift has ended. I hope you do not mind but please do excuse me." "Not at all, Mister Joel. How about I treat you to some coffee?" Jaydene offered. "How wonderful, but I must reject this wonderful offer, Miss. I've to attend church in half and hours time" Joel gave a warm smile. "You're a Christian?! I am one too!" Jaydene said aloud. "Join me then, Miss" Joel invited. "I-I can't. I'm sorry. I have to leave now." Jaydene went off without another word.

Feeling Down and my Fairytale.

Been feeling kinda down lately. No, actually this started since about 2 months ago. My bestfriend tried to cheer me up with some funny videos on Youtube. Which worked very effectively. But it was only temporary. So here is another way to cheer myself up (I guess...)

My Fairytale Story.

Beckham and Joel are brothers. They were born in the same year but 10 months apart. Joel is older than Beckham. Joe was born in January whereas Bec was born in November. In the family, they are called Joe and Bec for short. They live in a normal double story terrace house and went to a normal high school. However, their lives changed when their parents both got separated and ran away. They both owed money to several people but now that they are gone, their sons have to pay those debts in their place. Hence, Joe and Bec's relationship deterred severely. They have an older sister whom their parents have adopted when she was at age 16. She is a wild child. So when she turned 18 two years ago, she vanished without a word. Now, years after that incident, Joe and Bec are 20 year olds. Bec is currently studying and Joe is working. Life is not that bad.

Jaydene is a spoilt rich daddy's little girl. Her parents are stinking rich and they both own their own businesses. Jaydene has got an older brother called Louise. Louise is your average quiet brother who minds his own business. He will be the heir of the family's business. He doesn't want it though. He wants to do what he loves the most. Accounting. He may not look like the accountant type. He is quite muscular and tan. He has a very good eye-sight and plays various sports. Definitely unlike your typical accountants. Still, Jaydene feels worried about him. He is already 24 years old and has no girlfriend or attempted to date anyone. Sometimes, she even thinks that he might be gay. But whatever it is, she will support her brother. Jaydene is still in high school. She is in the 10th grade and is doing quite well with her studies. The school she is studying in is called Astheral High. It is a very expensive and well known elite school where most rich people send their children to. With her brains and status, she is excepted into the first class. However, she lacks the looks. She is slightly overweight and has no special beauty. She doesn't mind it that much. She believes that the true beauty is from the inside. Now, Jaydene has got a couple of big secrets she hides from her family. She is a Christian and she is addicted to reading mangas, the Japanese comics. Her family are against extreme believers of any religion which is why they rather not believe in any faithfully. And mangas are not they type of books an elite child should read. Hence, she practices these in secrecy.

These people's lives are normal. Until they met each other, things started to change. Slowly evolving into a weird yet wonderful story. Maybe even a love story...

Life is not normal.

The only reason I started this is because my friend said that I need a way to channel my feelings. So this is it. Will post up some things soon. Life ain't normal for me.
