(Prologue) 

I think about 99% of people that read this book probably love anime, right? Anime might  e one of my most favorite of things!! All my life I've watched anime, I was there where my favorite characters were. I lived though all the stories and was there inside the tv. I saw every death every celebration, every hard moment and every happy moment. At least in my imagination... of course things like dragons and Pokémon and magic don't exist... I remember the night that started it all. I was sitting alone on my bed, my parents were almost never home so I was used to them not tucking me in at night. I was gazing at the stars waiting for the sound of mom and dads car or the door to my room open telling me my parents were home. Sadly I spent most nights never hearing anything of that sort. Or quite frankly anything at all. I always looked up at the stars and reminded my self my anime characters were always there for me. I smiled knowing they were there. Well in my head, I looked up again into the abyss of the black sky. White dots were spread out like little flicks of paint. A shooting star hurled across the untouched black midnight. I closed my eyes and clasped my hands together silently making a wish. I wished my anime was real. I knew it was a long shot but if your gonna dream you gotta dream big. I shut off my light and crawled under my covers hearing the sounds of the peaceful city. If I'd known the damage my wish had done I would have never wished on that shooting star.

(Side bit, to start the story) 

The loud sounds of a truck could be heard from outside my window, I shook myself awake and crawled out of bed. I walked over to my bathroom and splashed my face with cold water. That got me up! I hurried downstairs to the small kitchen in our house. I grabbed some cereal and sat down to eat. A small vibration could be heated from the living room. After finishing I got up and ran over to where my phone was charging and turned it on. 

Hey! Don't forget we have school late today. I quickly unlocked my phone. That was a hour ago!! I started to replie to his text.

I slept in again!!😭😰😰 what time does school start again!!!! I waited for his reply my fingers gripped the edge of my new phone case, it was a cute Pokémon and it happened to be my favorite!!

My phone buzzed, really, you need an alarm clock!!😆Lol school starts at 11:30... the teachers had a really important meeting, or something like that..

I looked at the time on my phone, gahh it was 10:50! I had a less than 40 minutes to get ready and catch the bus which I had apaolutly no idea what time it would come by. I rushed around the house getting all my homework and projects from yesterday. 

It was 11:10 by the time I was done and I rushed outside only to removed I forgot my lunch, I ran back inside and grabbed it from where it sat on the table. When I got back outside and closed the door, and locking it, the school bus was just pulling away from my stop.

 Noooooo! I silently pleaded the bus to turn around and get me but my pleas where not answered. The bus started speeding up and I couldn't run all the way to school. I suddenly got a idea and raced myself to the house across the street and 3 doors down. 

I knocked on the old wood door hearing ashuffled noises from inside, as the door opened relief washed over me as my friend Taylor opened it giving me a strange look.

"What are you doing here! Your gonna miss the bus---" he stopped midsentance" ohh.." he gave me that face that told me I needed to get up earlier😑😑😑😑

"I'm so sorry, plz let me go to school with you!!! I'm begging you" 😭😭😭

"Whoa no need to beg, come inside Lindsey." He opened the door wider enough to let me though before closing it." We can go up to my room while we wait for my mom." 

He led me upstairs, i was getting so familiar with this place I practically lived here. When I was little and all alone at home everything scared me, a shadow a creaking stair and I always had the feeling I was being watched. I would get so scared I'd coming running over here fast as my little legs could carry me and bang on the door until either Taylor or his mom came out and comforted me. 

This was my life, alone in my world but with friends in this.  The place you love is your world, the memories you make the people you meet, they change your life, sometimes for the worst but mostly for the better. Good friendships last, make time in your world so you can be a part of someone else's. This was my world, it's not anymore.
