Dreams Are Real (Pt. 1)

3RD PERSON POV

July 11, 2016

12:00 pm

Mei walked took a stroll around town. She wore a dress like yesterday only it was baby blue along with her glasses instead of her contacts. She had the same basket as before and she had a white straw sun hat. She hummed a little tune while she walked

"Mei!" A voice called. It was male and it belonged to someone around Mei's age. 

"Yes?" Mei asked, she turned around and saw a boy named Aidan holding some flowers. She quickly turned around. "Aidan I don't want to talk to you," She said. She started walking again, just a little faster

"What? Come on, I didn't even get to say anything," Aidan Gallagher huffed (Yes the guy from The Umbrella Academy. Don't worry, he won't be a complete asshole in this :) Because this is fiction and in this, he will actually own up to his mistakes)

"Well, I don't have to talk to you to know that you're gonna say some shitty pickup line as a sad excuse of flirting," Mei said. She had a past with Aidan. Aidan was the first friend Mei made in Canada. Aidan was in the same situation as Mei. His family would go to Canada for the summer and other breaks. They got a house there to make their time there more comfortable. They got along, but Aidan started taking a liking to Mei. Mei just liked being friends, but Aidan was extremely pushy. At first, Aidan gave her flowers he picked from his mom's garden in the front yard. When they turned 11, Aidan would try to visit Mei every day she was in Canada and even tried sending her a letter when she was in California. He had since slowed down and tried talking to her every time he sees her. If Mei was having a nice day, she would talk to Aidan because he wasn't that bad, he just was a little obsessive

"I was actually gonna ask if I can buy you a drink? What do you like? Coffee, tea, chocolate milk?" Aidan asks. He took out his wallet. He was fully ready to splurge for Mei

"No thank you. My grandpa made some tea today. I'm gonna drink that when I get home," Mei stopped and said. She gave him a kind smile. "But thank you though," She started walking again. She was just trying to get to the library to get another book

"Well, do you want to hang out later? I got some new games for VR. You can come over and we can play" Aidan said. "Also, these are for you," He said. He handed her a bouquet of white roses and gave her a toothy smile

Mei puts the flowers in her basket. "I'll think about it," Mei said. She let out a sigh. "I like you, I really do. But, I think you need to chill a little. You don't need to spend money for me or get me gifts. I'm a simple girl. And I'm sorry if I seem a little harsh today," She gave him a little peck on the cheek. As a friendly gesture

"Well, instead of VR, maybe we could have a jam session?" Aidan asked. His cheeks were dusted with a light pink blush. "You could sing and I'll play the guitar,"

"That would be nice," Mei said. "I should get going. I really need to return a book. I'll see you around," Mei waved and started walking in the direction of the library

TIME SKIP

7:00 pm

Mei went to a restaurant to get takeout. She put down the bike stand and went it. She told the employee that she got takeout. The employee nodded and walked off to get it for her. Mei stood by the entrance, waiting for the food

"Mei?" A familiar voice said

Mei looked over and saw sitting at a table. "Oh, hi Jack," she said

The others looked over at her

"You just seem to always be bumping into us," Jack said

"Yeah, it seems so," Mei said as she walked towards them
