...Brightening the dark night..."
I continued to follow the sound of the voice. At first, I thought it was just someone playing their mp3 player loudly but this sounded different.
"...Never fading from sight...
...Telling me it's alright..."
Someone was definitely singing that song.
"...I drift away in a daze...
...To where my dreams come true...
...There's that special place...
...Where there's nothing I can't do..."
That wasn't just anyone singing either! It was the actual singer and I'm sure of it! I've heard this song played countless of times!
And I know that voice all too well...
"...Dance across the land of Oz...
...Riding a dragon through the clouds...
...You can dive to the ocean …show more content…
I knew it was her.

Chapter 1 - Ricky
Early mornings are my worst enemy. Monday mornings especially...
As soon as my phone alarm began to ring I wished it was exactly eight hours ago. Why do we kids have to wake up super early to get to school? Right now, I very much wish I had that time-turner thing in Harry Potter so I can go back in time and have some more sleep! I defiantly tried to cover myself with my blankets in an effort to get five more minutes of sleep.
But then Mom had to pop into my room. She's sort of my back-up alarm clock. Not that I ask for it. She pulls open the curtains and lets the morning light into the room. I'm not Dracula but it feels as though I'm burning from it!
"Ricky! It's past six! Get up!"

Did you get to bed early?" Dad asked me.
"I had that assignment to do for Sir Albert."
"Isn't he the mean teacher you always say assigns difficult assignments and demand them the next day?" asks Ken-Ken.
"He never changes. Ever since I was a student of his..." Dad shivered at the memory. "So did you get to finish your assignment?"
"Yeah, I did." I nodded.
Well, I don't want to brag but I am a very good student. I study hard for my exams and get good grades. Even if I'm given a very hard assignment or a project I do it diligently. Whether the due date is tomorrow or next week, I always make sure to get my homework done as soon as possible.
That way I can have more time to do some of my... ahem* other interests...
"But did you go straight to bed right after or did you play around with you tablet again?" Mom asked suspiciously.
"Yeah, I did..." I answered sheepishly trying to avert my gaze.
Mom always has that tendency to read my mind whenever I look at her in the eyes. Or probably that she could see bags under my eyes.
Well, technically I did lie down on my bed...but I didn't exactly sleep. Okay, I admit it: I was up until twelve to read the new online release of Fairy Tail. Can you blame me? It's my favourite Manga. Even if I'm a good student I do have other interests, you
