BTW...Please Review this story

For Mikan, love is like a dark mist that will consume you when you ever came close to it, because like it or not she knows too well what will happen if she falls in love.

When she was eight, her mother always say that her father was a kind and loving man, that he will soon come back to bring her presents and stuff for her on her birthday and on any special occasions, so she should just wait for him.

However, days pass by and the only things that arrive are the presents. Later on, when she was in the fifth grade, a tragedy that ruined her entire belief when she found out that her father actually left them for another woman and that the presents all came from her mother.

But the worst part is that her mother still waits for him because she's still hoping that he still loves her. Knowing this, she felt so blind about loving and also waiting for her father, that her entire life was an illusion.

That's why she promised herself that she will never fall in love for a guy, not ever.

Up to this day, she never looked at a guy with care or even kindness. Well, except for her Best friend Rui, who is not the kind of "guy" you would expect, because for some reason, he's much more close to his feminine side. Plus, he is the son of her mother's best friend.

On the other hand, in school, she's one of the top students and she's very talented in painting and drawing, while Rui likes to play different sports.

Then one day, when Mikan and Rui were on their way to school, they heard rumors that a new student will be transferring to their school and for some reason, Mikan felt uneasy about it.

When class started, the teacher suddenly announces that they will be having a new classmate. Then, a boy with black hair and somewhat crimson red eyes entered. "Natsume …" for some reason, Mikan only heard those words. Her heart suddenly pounded so hard, she thought the whole class can hear it.

Suddenly, someone patted her shoulders and asked "Mikan, are you alright?" . When she turned, it was Rui. Then for some reason, she couldn't speak and just nodded.

As she turned to face the board, she suddenly froze. Natsume was standing nearly in front of her, put down his bag and for a moment, she snapped out of it and realized that his seat was in front of hers.

As class started, she couldn't stop shaking, it was like she was about to make a very important speech in front of the president. As she looked at the mirror, she saw her face as red as a rose.

That's it! This can't go on, she thought.

After classes, she got her lunch and pulled Rui and went to the roof top. Then, she told him what she felt and as she looked at him, who was like wearing a shocked face, she asked if something was wrong with her.

And out of the blue, He laughed and told her that she was in love.

"Girl, I can't believe you would fall so hard like that even though you just saw him for the first time" Rui said.

On the other hand, Mikan felt like she was stabbed in the back without even noticing it. The oath she told herself was ruined, destroyed, and even crushed to tiny pieces.

As they went back to class, Mikan, who is still dazed because of what she found out.

When all of a sudden, someone bumped her and as she looked up, it was Natsume, and for some reason, he's also distracted. She rapidly wanted to apologize but when she opened her mouth, nothing. There were no words coming out. She started panicking, when…

"I'm sorry, I got a little distracted by a painting I just saw" said Natsume.

She wanted to say something, to say sorry, but all she could do is just nod once again. Then suddenly, "Mikan. Natsume, class is about to start" the class president shouted.

After school, Mikan went home immediately. Lying in her bed while embracing a pillow, she felt so stupid. She didn't want to be like her mom, she didn't her heart to be broken, she didn't want to be left alone.

The next day, just after class, Rui went ahead to the rooftop and when Mikan was about to go, she saw Natsume standing by the door and staring at her, which made her blush all of a sudden.

Then she remembered what her father did and all of the feelings she had went away, like it was all replaced by anger.

As she walked pass him, without even looking, she thought that she'd done it. That she was finally able to lose her feelings for him.

But then, "Mikan, would you go out with me?" Natsume shouted.

Then all of a sudden, all of the feeling she thought she threw away suddenly came back like fast gust of wind. She couldn't believe her ears. Her heart was pounding and as she turned around.

Looking at him like she was about to say no...

Then suddenly, out of nowhere, as she saw his eyes look at hers, she suddenly froze.

Because for the first time in her life, someone looked at her with such a passionate and caring look, and made her feel safe and loved.

She felt like thats the kind that she's been wanting to see. The kind she's been waiting for a long time.

She couldn't control herself because all of a sudden and said.

"sure"

Why did I say yes? is it because of that one look he gave me? am I really falling in love with him? What about my promise?

All those questions was the only thing clear at the moment, but as she looked at Natsume, who's smile was like a kindergarten that was given a big lollipop, all those doubts and questions suddenly disappeared.

Will this one answer change her for the better, or will it be like the kind of love she thought which will end up destroying her life forever?
