Chapter 1
First Love Never DiesHey, my name is Lei Ra, but my friends call me Lei. My love story started when I was only eight years old. I had a neighbor named Jun Hong, but I call him Zelo, and he was a year older than me, we were playing with each other when we were only three years old because our parents were great friends. He we was my best friend also my first crush. But he always treated me like a little sister, but that was only a crush anyways. But when we play family at home with my cousins and siblings, I'm always the mother and Zelo, well he's always the father and I really liked playing it, the way we used mud as cakes and pretend we have a car using a carton box. We do strange things but we could never be separated from each other. When we play tag, I was always it, and I couldn't chase him because he's so fast. One time, I tripped and bruised my knee, I cried 'cause it hurts, then he stop running and run towards me, he hugged me tight and kissed my forehead.
Me: Really?
Z: I will always be here for you, when you fall, I will always come running for you. Okay?
M: You promise??
Z: Promise.
Then we pinky promised and I smiled and hugged him back.
Me: Yes Zelo?
Z: I have something to tell you. (His smile suddenly disappeared.)
M: Hmm? What is it?
Z: I like you Lei.
M: What?! (Suddenly, I blushed)
Z: (Smiled) Who wouldn't like you? Anyways, that's not what I was going to tell you.
M: Then what is it?
Z: We're moving out of town Lei. I'm sorry, but I may not see you for a while.
M: What?! (Tears came running down my face then Zelo wipped it off.) But what about your promise back when we were 8??
Z: I will still keep it, I promise I'll be back.
M: But..
Z: Lei, I have you this. (He has a blue string in his hands then tied it on my finger.) I have one just like it.
M: But what does this mean??
Z: The strings will always tie us together, I want you to remember me whenever you look at this string, when I come back, I will be looking for the girl that has this little blue string. I will always remember you Lei.
M: Hey?
Z: Hmm?
M: Come back okay?!
After that little conversation, he walked me home and I cried myself to sleep. The next morning, he left..
