Hope For The Hopeless
Prologue
My heart was broken for the countless time again.
As I was crying tears of self-pity, I remembered a certain scene 4 years ago with my best friend …
"Come on Mikan! You can do so much better than falling head over heels in love with that douchebag!" said an angry, not to mention a younger version of Hotaru.
"But how could he like another girl just like that?! It's so UNFAIR. I've been his best friend when he was still in love with that Jenny girl! And now he just because he had a new friendly GIRL neighbor, he decided to ask her to be his girlfriend! THAT'S SO UNFAIR! Tell me Hotaru, am I really that ugly as a person?!" I screamed hysterically as the tears stream down my cheek.
"If you keep on blubbering like a baby, it's no wonder why he chose another girl to be his girlfriend." Muttered Hotaru.
"Hotaru, you're so mean!" I shouted in the midst of my hysterics.
"Hey, you're the one who asked! And if you asked me, I think that HE made a big mistake choosing some random girl to be his girlfriend just because she's pretty! So Mikan, why don't you smile and show him that he made a HUGE, FATAL MISTAKE?" said Hotaru calmly.
I shoved my tears away with the palms of my hand and plastered a huge smile on my face. "How do I look now Hotaru?" I asked innocently.
"You still look like a mess..but I gotta admit, you look better. You know what Mikan? You should laugh! Laugh your guts out! That would definitely help you!" shouted Hotaru excitedly
And I laughed hard, and was joined by Hotaru who found my strange laughter hilarious.
That was four years ago. I'm 16 now. Hotaru has left to a prestigious academy in Tokyo for specially gifted students; Alice Academy. I might be 16, but I'm still an idiot. I fall in love for the simplest reasons which are so idiotic; you'd probably think I was joking. I am the type of girl who falls for guys that are just being 'nice' to me. When I was 13, I fell in love with a guy called Sora just for a whole year just because he TALKED to me for 3 minutes because he HAD to discuss the project with me! How idotic…
Hey, I can laugh about it now, but I was madly and deeply in love with him until he rejected me and asked another girl out. Right now, I just got my heart broken, for the 15th time. But after crying my heart out, I decided to do what I always did every single time a stupid jerk broke my heart. I laughed. I laughed hard and loud until my insides ache. I REFUSE to let the pain get to me! And besides, I am finally moving to Alice Academy after all! I get to be with Hotaru, just because some guy came up to me and asked me if I wanted a full-paid scholarship to that Academy… Who knows? I might meet my prince Charming there!
"And I know someday that will all turn out. You make me work so we can work it out. And I promise you kid that I give so much more than I get. I just haven't met YOU yet!" Michael Buble – Haven't Met You Yet
