Prologue
"Look at her, so nerdy," said a girl behind the shelf. They were in the library.
"Yeah, I bet no one will fall for her," said another girl beside her friend.
Mikan Sakura, a 15 year old brunette with large, black, glasses in her eyes, heard all these insults. She was studying at Japan Gakuen High. Every day, she heard conversations about her. Her only friend and best friend, Hotaru, often said to her that people were just envious of her because she's an intelligent girl. But, she's still hurt. She was not like she used to be. She used to be cheerful and not wearing glasses, but not anymore. Every time she heard conversations about her, she remembered her past. She was dumped by the only boy she loved when she was still in her middle school. She still remembered the exact words he said . . .
Flashback . . .
It was a cold afternoon. The bell suddenly rung and their teacher said "Class dismissed". Mikan decided to tell Ruka her true feelings about him. Many girls were so in love with Ruka because of his lovely blue eyes and charming blonde hair. Mikan was quite close to Ruka because they were in the same group in their class. Ruka was often amazed by Mikan because of her good suggestions in group activities. Mikan thought that Ruka likes her too because he always smiles at her; she didn't notice that Ruka was the same with the others. So that afternoon, she told Ruka about her feelings, but . . .
"Gomenasai Sakura-san," said Ruka sadly. "I already liked someone. Actually, s- she's your bestfriend..."
At first, Mikan was quite shock but retain her calmness.
"It's alright Ruka-pyon," Mikan with a bit of disappointment. "I'm still happy that you told me the truth and I'm not expecting that you like me too. I just want to tell you about my feelings." *She's lying*
"Honto gomenasai," Ruka said again, bowing his head. "Please don't tell her about this Sakura-san..."
