DREAMS COME TRUE
*A shiny September day*
Marina was flying to Manchester where she was about to meet her best friend Rose, who had been living there for 2 years. Rose met Marina at the station and they went to Rose's house. They had lunch and then went out. As they were walking down the street, a gorgeous man passed them by. His face looked very familiar to Marina. Ritchie, Ricthie Neville! "I can't miss something I've been waiting for all my life!" said Marina and ran back to him. "Excuse me, do have time for a cup of coffee?" "Yeah, I think so." "And would u mind spending it with me and my friend in a cafe somewhere nearby?" "I'd love to". So they sat in the nearest cafe, offered something to drink and started talking. When it was time to go, Ritchie asked the girls to give him a phone number so that they could meet again.
*2 days after*
The phone at Rose's house rang. It was Ritchie."Would you like me to show you the things it's worth seeing here before I go?" "Go? Where?" "I gotta be in London tonight. My plane leaves at 16:30, so we don't have much time." "OK". They arranged a meeting. The girls dressed up fast and left. After they had viewed all the beautiful places in Manchester, they took a taxi and went to the airport. Ritchie said "I had a great time with you girls. I hope I wont be the last time I see you two!" "So do we coz we both had a great time too!!!" " Well, I gotta go" said Ritchie and gave each of the girls a big hug. When the plane left, Rose saw a few tears in her friend's eyes. "Hey, what's up with you?" "I, I ….I have to be extremely happy that I not only met him, but we also talked like best friends and, we talked a lot, but… I won't see him again! Ever!"
*The next day*
The phone rang again. " Hello girls, how are you doing? " "Ritchie! Hi! We're fine, and you?" "Yeah, it's ok. But it 'd be better if you were here! I just called to hear you." When they finished talking on the phone, it rang once more. But this time it was Marina's mom, saying that she should go back to Bulgaria to prepare for school.
*1 week after*
"Hi Rose, may I speak to Marina?" " She went back to Bulgaria." "Oh, so, she had been here just to visit you?" "Yes" "But I have to talk to her. It's urgent. Please tell me how can I find her." Rose explained Ritchie where she lived and where her school was. He took the 1st plane to Sofia. When he arrived, he bought 5 red roses, went to Marina's school and started waiting in front of it. When he saw her going out through the door, he started singing "Until the time is through". She noticed him. He was looking in her eyes and she understood why he was there. She ran to him. He stopped singing and gave her the roses. Tears filled her eyes. "I am sorry for being late. I should have done this when I met you for the first time." said Ritchie and kissed her.
*1 year later*
Ritchie proposed Marina. His best friends, Abs, J, Sean and Scott came to the wedding. They were very happy, they had already met Marina and they knew she was the girl for Ritchie. They had built a strong relationship, and they felt like it was going to last forever. It did.
