Sitting on the bed, right beside the window, she held the guitar on her lap, one hand clutching the strings slightly, the other casually draped over the body of the guitar.
Nobody was home at the moment, so she had the small house to herself for at least a little while. There would be no yelling to clean the dishes, or to pick up the clothes and trash littered around the living room. It was silent, and she liked the silence.
Here she was, sitting in her room, sitting on the bed, staring up at the dark sky. Right now, the bedroom was dark due to the lack of electricity. No lights were on at all in the house.
she liked to sit there in the silent and dark room, just staring up at the sky.
Up in the sky, the moon was visible and shining brightly through the open window. Stars surrounded the moon and twinkled brightly. It was calm and peaceful. A slight breeze blew through the open window, brushing her long blonde bangs out of her face slightly.
she smiled slightly towards the moon and stars. she didn't seem like the type who would play the guitar. she seemed, to people who knew her, a person who enjoyed duelling and kept her promises that she made.
But, to be truthful, she learned to play the guitar on her own, and actually found it to be quite peaceful. she enjoyed hearing it and liked to play it even more. To her, it was a way to release all the pain and anger she had stored inside of her through song.
Turning towards the guitar and looking at it, she picked it up and thought for a few minutes before saying, "Dreaming of You."
Smiling slightly, she plucked a few strings before deciding it needed tuning. she spent a few moments tuning the guitar while saying, "That's the perfect name for my song. Dreaming of you. Hmmm,"
Plucking the strings of the guitar, she began to play for a few seconds before quietly singing to herself while playing.
"Late at night,
when all the world is sleeping,
I stay up and think of you.
And I wish on a star,
that somewhere you are thinking of me too."
atenra's thoughts drifted to the boy she had fallen in love with. she had thought it would be impossible to fall in love with someone like her. Someone who was so famous and popular. Of course, the guy was one of her best friends, and they had made a pact of being there for each other.
"'Cause I'm dreaming of you tonight.
'Till tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight.
And there's no where in the world I'd rather be,
than here in my room,
dreaming about you and me."
Every night, she had dreams of him. she dreamt of her best friend who she had fallen in love with time and time again. Every time she saw him, she fell in love with him all over again. But she had to wonder if the guy even knew if she cared about him that way or even knew if she was there for him.
"Wonder if you ever see me,
and I wonder if you know I'm there.
Am I there? If you looked in my eyes,
would you see what's inside?
Would you even care?"
Would he care whether his best friend had feelings for him?
Thinking about that for a second, the girl shook her head. Nah, he wouldn't be like that. she knows that you can't control what you feel.
"I just wanna hold you close.
But so far,
all I have are dreams of you."
All I have are dreams of taking you into my arms and kissing away all the pain and anger and hurt you have ever taken in by anyone, she thought as she sang.
"So I wait for the day,
and the courage to say,
how much I love you."
Every time she was going to tell her best friend about how she was like and how much she cared for the kid, she chickened out and lost the courage.
Taking a quick look at the clock, she noticed it was late. Almost time to get to bed. she had school tomorrow.
After this chorus, she promised himself.
"I'll be dreaming of you tonight.
'Till tomorrow,
I'll be holding you tight.
And there's no where in the world,
I'd rather be, than here in my room,
dreaming about you and me."
she stopped playing and put the guitar away. It was time to get rest. Sighing, she climbed into bed and closed her eyes. she was looking forward to her dreams tonight.

The next day at school, the the girl walked into her classroom, and stopped at the sight of her best friend, smiling.
"atenra! Hey there!" a kid who was small in height but huge in heart, called, waving over.
ryou smiled and waved back. atenra was walking over to the kid.
"Hey there ryou'." she replied back, dumping her bag onto the desk, and straddling the chair, never taking her eyes off the child who had helped her time and time again.
ryou watched atenra and studied every part of her body – her hair which was quite unusual with mostly black hair, red highlights and blonde bang and her crimson eyes that held so much innocence.
"ryou, wanna come over to my house after school today? I wanna talk to you in private there."
ryou blinked. "Uh sure. Today it is."
____________________________________________________________________
As the day slowly drew on, ryou became restless. He wanted to know what atenra wanted to tell him and practically jumped out of his chair when the bell finally rang.
she smiled at her friend and the two walked to the house, talking about random things: upcoming tournaments, friends, and duels, whatever was going on.
After walking for about ten minutes, atenra and ryou reached the house and atenra led ryou up to her bedroom, closing the door and locking it behind ryou.
"Uh atenra?" ryou asked, blinking. "What's going on?"
"We need to talk." atenra said, smiling. "I don't want anyone to hear me right now, other than you."
"Uh sure." ryou replied, sitting on the bed, watching atenra sit beside him, looking quite nervous. ryou put a hand on atenra's shoulder, in an attempt to make her feel relaxed. "You know you can tell me whatever you want right?"
atenra nodded and turned to ryou. "I'm going to get straight to the point. I have these strong feelings for you and I know I'm in love with you."
ryou blinked and thought. Wow, she returns the feelings.
"Please don't hate me because of what I am." atenra pleaded. "You needed to know."
ryou nodded, and smiled. "To tell you the truth atenra, I'm like you. I'm in love with someone who I dream about every night."
atenra blinked innocently. "Who?"
ryou turned to look at atenra, still smiling. "You."
the girl's face broke out into a big smile, the innocence in her eyes shining. Launching herself at ryou, atenra wrapped her arms around ryou's neck, hugging her best friend.
ryou hugged atenra back. Now he knows the truth. We both care about each other a whole lot and both admitted we love each other.
He smiled, still hugging the small girl.
Pulling back, atenra looked at ryou for a minute before leaning in and slowly allowed their lips to meet. both teens eyes closed as they kissed lightly before ryou was lowering himself backwards onto the bed, atenra staying on top of him.
They broke apart slowly, panting but smiling.
"Wow." Both teens muttered.
atenra smiled down at her friend. "I love you."
ryou smiled too and replied, "I love you too."
atenra leaned his head down on ryou's chest and soon drifted off into a peaceful sleep. ryou wrapped his arms around atenra's small body protectively, and closed his eyes. He thought about the song he had been writing the night before and smiled. He had the perfect way to finish off the song.
He smiled and thought about the tune in his head and began to sing once again. "Ahh-Ahh. I can't stop dreaming of you. I can't stop dreaming; I can't stop dreaming of you."
As night slowly drew upon them, both teens rested wrapped up in each others arms, resting.
With his eyes still closed, atenra asked, "ryou, I heard you singing earlier. Will you sing for me?"
ryou smiled. "Sure, anything for you."
Taking a deep breath, and thinking of the tune inside of his head, he started to sing.
"Late at night when all the world is sleeping,
I stay up and think of you and I wish on a star,
That somewhere you are thinking of me too.
'Cause I'm dreaming of you tonight.
'Till tomorrow, I'll be holding you tight.
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be,
Than here in my room dreaming about you and me.
Wonder if you ever see me,
And I wonder if you know I'm there.
If you looked in my eyes, would you see what's inside?
Would you even care?
I just wanna hold you close,
But so far,
All I have are dreams of you.
So I wait for the day and the courage to say,
How much I love you, Yes I do.
I'll be dreaming of you tonight,
'Till tomorrow I'll be holding you tight.
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be,
Than here in my room dreaming about you and me.
Ahh-Ahh.
I can't stop dreaming of you.
I can't stop dreaming,
I can't stop dreaming of you.
Late at night,
When all the world is sleeping,
I stay up and think of you.
And I still can't believe,
That you came up to me and said,
"I love you,"
I love you too.
Now I'm dreaming with you tonight,
'Till tomorrow and for all of my life,
And there's nowhere in the world I'd rather be,
Than here in my room,
Dreaming with you endlessly."
As the song came to an end, atenra smiled and nuzzled her head under ryou's chin.
"That's so pretty. What did you call it?"
ryou smiled. "Dreaming of You."
"Wow," atenra answered with a smile. "Then I'll live by that song. And dream about you every night. I love you ryou."
"I love you atenra . And, tonight, I'll be dreaming of you."
