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.
