20
Every person in this earth has a single soul that stays with you until the day you die. Every soul has a person, who guides the person through their life. What if there is one soul with no one to be with ? What if that soul travels around through 3 people ? People say that it's not possible to have a single soul with different bodies. But what if that's true ?
1985- Amelia Kinders
Everyone says that you can't look into your alternate life. But I can, every night I go to bed and dream about 2 girls around my age. The 2 girls alternate my dreams each night. Ye Rin is one girl that lurks in my head as I dream through the night. I remember everything she does and how her life is like in a Modern day of Korea. The other girl is Meredith Hawkins, a rich teenager in England. Her life seems to take place in a world of the impossible. But these 2 girls who appear in my dream are never alive in my opinion. I don't know how I remember my dreams but not myself. I can't control these people in my head, it seems like their lives are so real.
But it's the year 1985 and today is October 28th. I'm currently sitting on the bus waiting to get to school. My high school isn't the best high school that everyone would imagine it to be like. It's just a typical American high school with the groups of the Jocks, Nerds, Mean girls, and the Gangsters. I'm in none of those groups and I hope I'll never be in any of those groups for the rest of my high school life.
Anyways, as I walk to my locker Dally approaches my locker. Dally Stanton is one of the most popular kids in our school, he's not popular for being the best at school but he's best at being the person who breaks the rules in our school. Dally is someone that has a gang who follows him around all day. He has black shiny hair, a strong build, stone blue eyes, and a dimpled smile. Most popular girls like "Cindy The Blondie" would flirt with Dally and things wouldn't turn out that pretty for her. Cindy is probably the most pretty girl in our grade. She has the curly golden hair and a very perfect body. It's odd that Dally never accepts Cindy's offer and it's even weirder that he approaches me today.
" Hey, Amelia meet me after school in the trailers or else," Dally said. I turned around and stared at him. " Why would I do that ?" I asked. He frowned at me and said, " I need you to help me with my homework. Are you satisfied ?" I thought about going with him and tried to push my worries away. " Fine, I'll meet you there," I sighed. Then Dally turned around to his group and walked away.
I went to the bathroom and stared at the mirror. I don't look that pretty at all, I have medium brown hair and green eyes. I'm not super skinny or fat, I'm just a lean girl with nothing special. Meanwhile everyone else has something special inside them. Like my best friend Marcia Grande, she is a Latino girl (who looks like Selena Gomez, but Selena wasn't around in 1980s). I'll have to admit that a lot of boys ask her for her phone number, but she doesn't accept their number because she's the total opposite from Cindy. Although Marcia is super pretty she's also super kind unlike Cindy who is mean.
After my last class of the day, I took my backpack out of my locker and walked to the back of the building. Dally was there leaning against the wall, "Hey Amelia, I need your help." I suddenly remembered that I had to help Dally with his homework so I sighed and turned around, " What is your homework ?" Dally walked up to me so close that I stepped backwards with my back against the wall. "I need your help with something really special and I think you're the right person for this," he whispered. My eyes were wide and my throat was dry. "Sure, but what is that something you need help with," I asked.
" A map that finds my real home," he said.
2020- Ye Rin Park
A voice in my dreams and a person in my head. I have strange dreams every night. I wake up every morning thinking that I'm an American teenager or sometimes a British Teenager. Luckily my mom comes into my room shouting Korean at me.
Every morning I walk by the Han river on the way to high school. I'm a 10th grader living in Seoul with no worries at all. Just kidding, I have so many worries that I'm pondering about right now. My family is a decent family, but I have to get a job soon so I can pay of my tuition fees and my after school classes. All high schoolers around the world always has that one kid whom they admire. For me it's Taeyoung Lee, he's the cutest guy in our grade and he's super famous on Tik Tok. I don't just admire him for his looks. His personality and kindness always shines. I never had a chance to talk to him though because he's to popular in our school and I'm not those popular kids who can approach him.
But later that day, I approached him. With all my courage from my friends I walked up to Taeyoung. " Hi, is it fine if I can sit here ?" I asked him. Taeyoung was sitting on the bench by the river. He looked up and nodded. I sat down and asked him, "Aren't you from my school because you seem familiar to me ?" It took awhile for him to respond but he said, " Oh you're that quiet girl." I was quite offended because I'm actually not quiet at all. " Um I'm not the quiet girl."
"Then who are you ?"
" I'm Ye Rin."
" Oh really ? Well I don't want to talk to broke kids like you."
I stared at Taeyoung as he picked up his backpack and walked away. Then I realized that he was a rich kid and I'm a poor kid. Tears were in my eyes, I ran straight home. My mom and my older sister was back at home. My older sister, Jenna was going to the US to study English. She was leaving tomorrow and I was going to start to work tomorrow. " Hey Ye Rin, why do you look so sad ?" Jenna asked. " I don't want to talk about it," I said to her. My mom came back into the house with vegetables in her hand. She was picking the vegetables from the garden. " Are you fine ?" she asked me. "Mom, why are we like this ?" I shouted with frustration. "How come others don't have to go to work and I have to go to work at this age ? How come my dad has to stay up until 11pm and come home in the morning just to make money ?"
My mom sighed and shouted back at me, " Don't be lazy, you do realize that you have enough money to stay in this place and stop comparing to Taeyoung. I know is parents and I know that you like him."
I ran out of the front door in a flash. It suddenly was raining, I had no umbrella but just a hood. "Why is my life like this ?" I screamed into the river. Then a boy about my age grabbed my arms and pulled my backwards. " Are you ok ?" he asked with concern. " I'm fine, but why do you have to pull me down ?" I turned around and saw a boy with ocean blue eyes, black wavy hair, and an Ulzzang mysterious face. He was staring at me with concern and I stared back at him. The rain was still pouring and my heart was beating as fast as the rain drops falling.
2028- Meridith Hawkins
My dreams are weird, I wake up every morning thinking that I'm a different race or I'm from a hundred years ago. It's like my previous lives were 2 girls around my age with different stories. England is 2028 probably is the most best place ever in my opinion. I live in an estate near the mountains with all the new technology there is. My mom and dad are the richest people living in England and so I'm the richest kid in England. But there is one secret that I kept for many years, my mom is actually the second wife of my dad and nobody know that except for me and of course my dad.
I have a crush on a boy who lives in a regular English house with a regular family. I have known him for years, his name is Edward Brown. He has golden hair and a nice smile. He does horse riding and running. Before I became into this rich family, I was his neighbor. We had fun together as children until I moved away. I still see him everyday, but whenever he stares back at me he shows sympathy in his eyes. Yesterday I saw him hugging another girl with reddish hair and that's when I realized why he had sympathy in his eyes.
