• I am Ryo Matsushida. A second born and a smart mouth. I am sixteen and in grade eleven. My girlfriend's name is...Zada. Weird name for a girl, but I don't care. She's cute for someone so young. I heard from other folks that she was the same age as me. This is where my journey begins. I will attempt to find out how old this girl really is and with any luck, make her my girlfriend.

    It all started when I was thirteen. This girl always went into the woods and would come back late at night, I know because I stayed up that night, listening to my friend Danny whine and complain about him and Brittany not getting together at all. Like I even cared what happened it that guy's life. I was staring out my window that night, watching the stars twinkle in the sky as much as they possibly could. I noticed the girl walking alone, going into the woods. Danny left after two hours, obviously knowing that I wasn't listening. At exactly twelve in the morning, the girl with such long, black and beautiful hair, came out of the woods, like she knew her way around through the woods. Her face dazzled me that I thought she was a kid at first.

    Never did she once look up at all to the sky but just kept going in a straight line. Her skin was a peach colour, almost like sand. And her eyes were a shade of golden yellow. Her clothes looked so neat and clean and they never seemed to get worn out.

    I made a promise that day, to myself that I would find this girl's house or hideout, where ever she may live and ask her only one question. Would she be mine?

    So now, here I was...preparing for my ultimate adventure. I was just getting my outdoor shoes on, when I heard my brother call for me from the kitchen. I sighed loudly, hoping he would hear me and get the hint that I was a little busy with something. He did. With out any more delay, I put on my blue, two-in-one sweater, a coat that could be turned into a sweater, and headed out the white, windowed door. The only things I were bringing with me on this little trip was a few cereal bars and two bottles of spring water.

    Little did I know, that the stuff I had with me, were not enough for the challenges that lied ahead for me. Not only was I lost, but I was a bit hungry and the cereal bars had done nothing but satisfy my teeth. I thought I was a goner when I accidentally got my foot caught in a bear trap that was tied to a tree, pulling me and my leg up to the branch of it. I could feel my head rushing with blood that was beginning to drain from my body.

    When I thought I was done for, I mean a bear could have come around right? But no. Instead of a bear...it was that girl who I was looking for all this time. She just smiled at me and cut the rope with a small pocket knife. I tried to brace myself for the small drop but it hit my head with a sharp pain that caused me to groan.

    "What are you doing?" The girl had such a soft voice.

    "I was...trying to look for a river around here, do you know where I can find one?" Lieing wasn't in my category, but it was all I could come up with at the time.

    "You're weird but a little funny, you should have brought a map with you, the lake I go to has...a pecial power" She led me onward, to a cave that I never knew exsisted and led me to a clear lake that was shining as bright as a diamond.

    The cave that we had entered had now just been a memory, as I looked around to see all the green vines, the girl who was apparently my age, stood before the fairly large lake. She did not hesitate and began to take her clothes off, underneath was a one-piece swimsuit. I was frozen to the ground while she stood in front of me.

    "You can come in if you want, but don't drink any of it...you do and you'll be immortal" I immediatley began taking off my pile of clothing, leaving only my boxers on and jumped in beside her, not thinking of what she just said.

    I noticed she was in her own little world had been pulled off along with the rest of her outfit and I took this chance to get close to her. Her body was smaller built than mine and it looked as though her body was as fragile as a glass cup. She looked at me with such innocent eyes and I felt like I was in a whole different dimension when I was with her.

    "You're admireably cute when you're wet" I swirled her around with both my hands and gazed at her blushing face.

    "What did you come into the woods for...this lake is the only thing out here" All I could answer with was a smirk.

    "You" She blinked in confusion as we slowly put our heads together.

    I didn't know what was happening with my heart. We both got out of the water and lied on the cave floor that was covered with vines from head to toe. We were both comfortable with each other. She sat up with her hand on the side of her face, leaning over me. Her index finger poked around my stomach.

    "Zada...do you like me?"

    "Maybe"


    I grabbed her hand and sat up. I looked into her eyes once more before kissing her on the lips with full force. She didn't seem to mind it but she was getting shy. I pushed her down and devoured her neck with my lips.

    The only thing she said had came out as a whisper.

    "Let us live forever..."
