Chapter 1 : "Astro Sawyer". Astro's Point Of View "What's your dream when you grow up?"Ms.Coleign ask, I immediately raised my hand. "I want to sail out the sea!"I cheerfully said, My classmates look at me with a confused look. "You want to become a pirate?"Lucci asked- One of my classmates, I nod my head. "It's great to set sail out the sea and go to adventure!"I said with a spark on my eyes, My classmates start to laugh, except my teacher. I pout. "What's funny?"I irritatedly ask. "Silly Astro! You're born to be a good noble not to become a pirate! Anyway, class dismissed. You can go to your parents now except you, Astro"Ms.Coleign announce, after my classmates left the classroom- I look at Ms.Coleign. "Astro, Come here"She said. "Why? Are you gonna laugh at my dream too?"I ask with a teary eyes, Ms.Coleign gave me a smile. "Of course not! Come here"Ms.Coleign said which made my eyes spark, I immediately ran towards Ms.Coleign. "Listen Astro! You can't tell your parents about your dream, Okay?"Ms.Coleign Said. Confusion was written all over my face. "Why?"I ask out of curiosity. "Just promised me, okay?"Ms.Coleign said. I smile. "Promise!"I said, She smile at me but it immediately fade when we heard the door opened- it was my parents with our bodyguards. I look at my mother, she looks mad. "Guards! Take her!"My mother demand while pointing at Ms.Coleign, our bodyguards start to walk towards Ms.Coleign- They held both of her hands. My mother walk towards me and carry me, i look at mother. "Mother?"I called. Her mad expression immediately fade, she look at me with a calm face. "Yes, dear?"She ask. "Where will they take Ms.Coleign?"I ask, She smile. "Where she truly belongs"She said, after that we walk away. I look at Ms.Coleign, She looks calm. I smiled at her when we made an eye contact, she smile back but my smile immediately fade when one of the guards point a gun at her, My eyes widen. I stretch my arm as tears start to filled my eyes- the gun shot was the only thing i heard before i closed my eyes. My eyes snap open- I felt my body covered in cold sweat. I felt my heart pounding, I look around the room suspicious and paranoid that the horror may have followed me here, i sighed then i get up cautiously, shivering, I rub my head and eyes and tries to fully awake myself. I sighed. "Just another nightmare"I mumbled. I went to the bathroom and took a quick bath, after that i dressed myself and left my room. I smile at my mother when i saw her preparing breakfast. "Good morning, Mother"I approached and kiss her on the left cheek. "Good morning too, dear"She said, i sat at the chair and watch her prepare breakfast, while watching her- I suddenly remember something.. "Mother"I called. "Yes, dear?"She ask. "About Ms.Coleig-"I didn't have the chance to finish my sentence when she slam her hands against the kitchen counter. I cleared my throat. "I told you not to mention that name, didn't i?"She said, i bit my lower lip. "P-Pardon me Mother- however i really want to kno-"But i was cut off again by my Father. "Good morning, Mi amor! Isn't it a beautiful day today?"Me and my mother look at the front door, My mother walk towards my father and gave him a peck on the lips, I secretly sighed. We all start eating. They both talk about personal stuff. When j was done eating- I gently dropped my utensils and stood up, i went to the garden and saw Rebecca- Rebecca is the only friend i have, She's the maid's daughter. "Hey Astro!"She approached. "What's with that face, huh?"She ask and held my chin. "Oh.. It's about Ms.Coleign again, huh? You had a fight with your Mother again?"She ask, i sigh and slowly nod my head. She gave me a bored look. "You've been talking about Ms.Coleign a lot and i don't even know who she is! Come on! Tell me why is she so special? And why do you always dream about her?"She ask, i bit my lower lip. "She was my teacher when i was in elementary"I said, Her eyes widen. "She's your elementary teacher?!"She ask, i nod my head. "Uhm- Yes? Is it really a big deal?"I ask. "Are you crazy?! Of course!"She said and gasped. "Rebecca, Don't you think...you're over reacting a bit?"I ask, she shook her head. "That's your teacher!" "And?" "Come on, Astro! Remember why i befriend you?"She ask, i shook my head making her groan. "Remember the time when you save me from a bandit?"She ask, i nod my head. "That time-! You were really cool! That's why i befriend you! That's why i was so shock when you said that Ms.Coleign is your elementary teacher, because you're really cool and of course-! Your teacher is cool too!"She said, erm. "And i have an idea!"She added making my brows arche. "Spill"I said. "Let's check her information, so we can know more about her!"She suggest. "That's a good idea, but where?"I ask, she shrugged her shoulder and wiggle her eyebrows. "No way-!"I said with my eyes widen. "Yes way!"She said and giggle. . . . . . "I swear to god, Rebecca! If we got caught-"She immediately cut me off. "Yes, We're really going to be caught if you keep scolding me!"She whispered, i rolled my eyes. We both tip toe to my father's office, He's the duke so he's the one who's keeping all the important information of the city. We both stand at the front door of my father's office, Rebecca held the door knob. "It's lock"She whispered, but we both know there's nothing to be worried about because this friend of mine is really awesome, she can unlock everything with just a clip, i gave her my clip. She lend against the door, i nod my head when she gesture me to look around. After a few minutes, she already opened it. I rolled my eyes when she wink at me and gave me back may clip, we both enter the office, good thing my father left early. We start searching, and after a few minutes- Rebecca hand me a brown folder, i open it.
