Prologue:

"Do you take Mai Taniyama as your lawfully wedded wife?" The priest says as the bride looked up at the very person she never thought she'd marry today. Maybe not today, maybe even ever.

"I do." He says. His eyes looking lovingly at the girl who he always dreamed of marrying.

How'd their story start? Well…

It starts in their last year of high school.

No… It starts with one stolen kiss.


"I absolutely hate you Naru-chan!" yelled brown haired girl with furious cinnamon eyes. Her hands on her hips and her face getting red from anger on the obviously unaffected Raven haired boy in front of her.

"You know, Mai, if you shout like that people will think you have no brain at all." The raven haired boy replied in a monotonous voice. A smirk playing on his face. It was obvious that he loved to tease the brown haired girl.

"Now. Now. Noll, you should stop teasing Mai before she explodes." Another raven haired boy appeared. He was identical to the other one and was wearing an amused expression.

"Gene!" The girl; Mai gave a smile to the smiling raven haired boy; Gene. While the smirking raven haired boy; Naru slowly slips his stoic mask on.

"So Mai… gotten into any trouble lately?" Gene asked smiling and patting the top of Mai's head. Mai fumed a bit and let it go. "I haven't been in any trouble these past weeks." She pouted. Gene Laughed and continued to walk along with them.

Mai was a troublesome 3rd year student. Always finding herself in a sticky situation, but her personality can get her through it. These situations though were all for the benefit of others. She always greeted their problems with a warm smile and that's how she usually gets into situations.

One time she fell of a tree just because she was saving her neighbor's cat. She had a cast on her left arm for 2 weeks. The other time, she got scathed for trying to find her classmate's ring. She also got poison ivy at that time. Recently, she earned a scar from tripping but she got it through her clumsiness.

With those accidents her parents might be worried sick, the problem is they've already moved on to the afterlife. Mai's dad died because of car accident on his way back on an out of town business trip when she was 3. In middle school, her mom died of an illness that was left uncured since her mom worked her butt off on their living expenses and her school tuition. Mai was then in the care of her Aunt Ayako, her mom's closest friend, and her on and off boyfriend Takigawa.

Though a lot of things had happen, she was still smiling. If anybody asked her , she would always reply 'My parents wouldn't have wanted me to sulk on them forever.' with a warm smile. Her best friend, Gene, would usually wonder how that girl possesses the ability to bounce back from two great losses, but of course he knew she would answer the same thing.

"Gene, I like you."

"That was your seventh confession this week." Gene laughed.

"I won't give up, Gene!" She made a fighting sign with her fist.

His twin brother looked at him and then at Mai before going back to his book.

Gene sighed at his brother's reaction and went back on small talks and jokes with Mai. Noll just walked at their side, not minding their chatter.


"You got a C-?" Naomi asked.

Mai shyly nodded then looked up to see her friend's expression. To her surprise, Naomi was laughing.

"Same here!" She gave Mai a surprise hi-five. "I thought I was the only one." She hugged Mai lovingly.

Naomi was pretty much an airhead like Mai, but she was a good friend. Naomi also was very affectionate with her friends and treasured them as they helped her get through her studies when she was rock bottom. If trouble ever came, she'd defend Mai in a heartbeat even in dire situations. She was also a Davis twins' fangirl which is how she met Mai.

Mai fondly remembers when she met Naomi who was asking for a sample of Oliver's strand of hair. She also occasionally uses her connection with the twins for her to get what she wanted from Naomi.

"What's the occasion?" Louise asked.

Naomi stopped hugging and turned to the girl who had just arrived.

"Ruwi-cchi!" Naomi began to hug the girl. "What did you get on the test?"

"I got a B+ because I actually bothered to study and not spend my time stalking the Davis' twins." Louise smirked trying to pry off Naomi.

Louise was half-Japanese, half-American explaining her English name. Her parents never bothered to give her a Japanese name. She looked more Japanese than American but her blonde hair and blue eyes had another say in otherwise. Louise's personality at a glance would be shy but when she gets comfortable around someone she was pretty devious.

"As If you weren't stroking that precious baby photo Eugene gave you the other day." Naomi said causing Louise to blush. "Don't say that out loud!" Louise covered the other girl's lips.

Louise has a not-so-obvious crush on Eugene Davis, but since Mai had declared her "love" for Eugene, she never spoke about her feelings for the boy yet Naomi never ceases to tease Louise after finding out.

"And it's Louise, not Ruwi, Naomi." Louise straightened her clothes from wrinkles.

Mai remembered when Louise was just a transfer student and couldn't speak Japanese properly.

"But Ruwi is cute!" Mai could only laugh at Naomi's childish behaviour. "Anyway, who are you going to give those chocolates to Mai?" She asked pointing to the three Plastic bags on her desk.

"Bou-san, Eugene and Yasu." She smiled.

"What about Naru-san?" Louise asked.

"I would never give anything to that jerk!" Mai scoffed and two other girls laughed.

The teacher had entered the room and the three girls had quiet down.

"Kiritsu."

Little did Louise or Naomi know….

There was one more bag of chocolates inside her bag.


"Davis-san, please go out with me." The girl had bowed her head and held out a box of chocolate in his hands.

"I'm not interested in anyone. Go away." Oliver said tonelessly leaving another girl in heartbreak. The girl ran off to seek comfort from her friends who were waiting for her from behind.

"That was harsh." Eugene commented, hands full of chocolates and what not girls had given him.

"I had grown impatient. I wanted to go home quick." Oliver shrugged. "And what do you plan to do with all of these?" He raised an eyebrow at what his brother was bringing along.

"Eat them, of course. Valentine's is all about chocolates and eating them." Eugene said opening one and popping a small piece in his mouth. "Want one?" He offered.

"No thanks. It'd give me Cavities." Oliver said, looking around.

"Still expecting someone?" Eugene asked.

"No…" Oliver shook his head. His eyes then travelled to a certain plastic bag with heart shaped cookies. Eugene caught him staring at it and explained. "Oh those were from Mai, she gave them to me during break."

Oliver looked slightly disappointed for a fraction of a second before sticking his nose in a book once again.

Eugene knew that his brother had feelings for the brunette but the incident exactly a year ago wouldn't help the situation. He remembered that day when Mai had run in his arms bawling her eyes out…

When she got rejected by Oliver Davis.
