I'll be there

Chapter One: My Past Life

It was a fine morning in the city. A 23 year old woman was on her way to her hundredth job; a secretary. When she graduated, she became a computer encoder≈but guess what? She just resigned! And why? 'Coz she's bored! Argh.
she's a girl who has difficulties in deciding what she wants...

Then her next job was a fast food cashier. But she got stressed with too much order slips so she quits. The next job was a singer in a club, she had a nice singing voice, but unfortunately, the government closed it down for some damn reason; for widening the road etc. Her next jobs varied from a construction worker to a taxi driver. Finally, she decided to be in a stable job. Her name≈is Mikan Sakura.

"Damn! I'm late for work in my first day!" she said while she honked her car horn repeatedly. The traffic isn't working with her either. And after 10 minutes, it started to rain. What an unlucky girl. "What? It's raining? Oh no!" she said. "Okay okay, calm down...you can catch there in time. Just like the old days..." with that statement, her mind went back to the past.

FLASHBACK.
"Grandpa, I gotta go. I'm almost late for school!" the 11-year old Mikan said and hurriedly went out of their house. "Take care, granddaughter..." her grandfather replied and waved goodbye. "Buh-bye!" she said before riding in a public bus. Her grandparents never had much money to let her into a private school, so she took the only choice; to commute. While she was in a bus, she glanced at her watch...6:45...Gosh, my teacher's gonna kill me! She thought as she tapped her foot impatiently.

Suddenly, a voice she knew came to her ears and said, "Late for school?" She was a bit shocked by hearing his voice from the back seat but somehow she felt better. "And how about you? You're late, too...Natsume" she sarcastically replied and raised an eyebrow. He just smirked and looked away. Just when the two entered their campus gate, the bell rang.
END OF FLASHBACK

"Yeah, that was long ago. And now I wonder...what happened to Natsume-kun?" she said to herself. Natsume Hyuuga was his whole name, are you wondering why she can still remember? Because, HE was her first love. She started crushing on him since 5th grade when she was crying for some reason (she can't remember) and he comforted her. Though in an insulting way, but at least he tried to cheer him up.

I know it's such a small reason to like him...but that time, she needed a friend≈a true friend. And so he came. But because of her innocence, she never thought it could be anymore than a crush. When she went to 6th grade, she accidentally told him that he was her crush on 5th grade.

Since then, he suddenly always sticks with her. He always teased her to get her attention, and he always scare off the boys who wanted to be close with Mikan. Of course she didn't noticed that until one day, she just found herself always thinking of him, always stealing glances at him, and worst≈she felt her heart jumping whenever he's around. I mean, he everyone dislike him for being so cold, so at first she denied her feelings until it leaked out from her. And she finally admitted to herself that she loves him≈but no one ever knew. However,a promise was made┘she still remembers that time┘

FLASHBACK

It was a time when someone just asked some piece of paper to Mikan and Natsume was extremely jealous. He approached the boy. AndSLAP!

"Iinchou, are you okay?" Mikan asked the boy. "Yes, I am all right," he said and covered his cheek where the furious raven-haired boy just slapped. The brunette, who was very angry by now, turned to Natsume. "Natsume-kun, why are you doing this? WHY?!" she said, almost in tears. But the raven-haired boy smirked and went towards the door. When he passed by Mikan he whispered, "Meet me at the Sakura tree after classes and I will tell you"

For the rest of the day, Mikan couldn't help but wonder why Natsume was doing cruel things to her all this time. After classes, she headed to the place where the ruby-eyed boy had said they will meet. And he was there. He stood up.

"Mikan...forgive me, I'm such a fool" he said. The brunette was bewildered. "Huh? Why is that?" she asked. "I always try to get your attention by teasing you. I always become jealous whenever there are boys who come near you" he hesitated momentarily which gave her the chance to speak. "Why are doing those things?" she asked, still as dense as ever.

"It's because...I love you" he asked with a hint of sadness in his tone of voice.

What happened? How did Mikan react that led to a promise? What was the promise? All the answers are on the next chap hopefully. I haven't edited it yet but at least I already encoded it.
