Yeah. I know. I said that I won't be writing anymore. But what can I do? I found a new inspiration. ;)
You know 'Full House"? The Koreanovela about a girl writer and an actor wherein the actor has a big problem, so he asks the girl writer to fake a marriage? Then they agreed to stay married for a year and eventually, they fall in love?
I watched it again and it inspired me. It was so funny and all. *grins*
So here. I wrote something. After months of not writing.
But this is not like Full House. ;))
This is a story about falling in love, all over again.
And oh, yeah. I decided to make the setting of this story as PHILIPPINES.
Sorry if you'll find the characters a little OOC.
And I dedicate this chapter to octobertwentyfirst for being such an awesome person. Good luck on your studies. ;)
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Gakuen Alice and Heaven's Gate. ;P
THE END
I.
NATSUME HYUUGA
Okay. I give up. I'm lost. Is it my fault that I don't have this talent for finding the right direction? Come one. Nobody's perfect. I can't have everything.
I was just driving earlier, listening to the music from the radio of my car. But my car decided to be such an ass and stop in the middle of nowhere.
I tried to start the car again, but none happened.
It started raining outside, and I don't have any umbrella with me.
I was starting to become frustrated. This is my first time going home here in the Philippines, and this is what happened. My cellphone's not her either. I think I left it in the States.
"If you don't stop being an ass right at this moment, I swear, I'll take you to the junk shop," I threatened my car. I think I'm becoming a psycho. I'm talking to my car. I'm becoming crazy.
I tried again, but noooo. It's still not starting.
Better get out of this car before I become a mentally retarded person.
I sighed and decided to grab my jacket and went out of the car.
The rain is not that hard. I put on my jacket and started looking around. There's this white wall stretched in the side of the street. I decided to look for its entrance, maybe there's someone inside who can help me or something.
I saw the gate and read the big sign above.
"Heaven's Gate".
I entered the gate and saw tombstones. So this is a cemetery. What am I gonna do here? Ask the graves for directions? HAHAHA. Very good idea you got there. But I'm not that stupid.
I walked further inside, then I saw her - a girl whose back is facing me. She has long brown hair that flows perfectly till her waist. She was wearing a white dress and was sitting in front of a certain grave under a tree. I can see that the mud was starting to stain her dress, for the rain was starting to pour harder.
Maybe someone she knows died and was buried here. I started to walk away, I don't wanna disturb her. But my conscience started bugging me. Being the good soul that I am, I stopped and looked at her again. She'll get sick if she'll stay there for a long time.
I decided to walk towards her. She's still sitting there, staring at the tombstone in front of her. I think she's unaware of my presence. Like she's in her own world.
"Miss, you'll get sick if you stay under the rain," I said, looking at her. I can't see her face clearly, for her hair was covering her face. She didn't move. She's still lost in her own world.
I tried again. 'Hey, Miss?"
No movement.
I put my hand on her right shoulder. "Miss?"
And that's when she seems to wake up from her reverie. I put my hand down.
She stood up and faced me.
Her eyes. They seem lifeless. Empty.
I'm speechless. This is the first time I saw eyes like that. Maybe the one buried here is a very important person for her.
Then she turned to leave.
I didn't have the chance to say anything.
I was just staring at her back as she leaves.
The first time I became speechless.
"Sir?"
I turned to look at the person behind me. He looks like a security guard. Looks like he works in this cemetery.
"Sir, is there a problem?"
I shook my head and looked at the direction where I saw the girl go earlier. She's not there anymore.
"Uh. Is there a phone here?" I asked the guard. He nodded.
3 Years Later…
MIKAN SAKURA
RING! RING! RING!
Ugh. Stupid phone. I sat down in my bed and answered the phone as I fix my necktie. I'm still not done dressing up for school, and I'll be late soon. I pressed the loudspeaker and put it in my bedside table. "Hello?"
"Mikan! Baby, how are you?"
My Mom. She likes to call me baby. She's currently in the States, working. I rolled my eyes and started to put on my shoes.
"Morning, Mom. I'm fine. Just busy rushing. I'm gonna be late in…" I paused and looked at the wall clock just as I finished putting my shoes on. "Ten minutes."
"What? Hurry up! Don't you have a long quiz or something? Can you make it on time?"
I sighed. "Yes, Mom. I gotta go. I have to catch a cab to get there fast, and my phone being snatched by some snatcher on the street while waiting for a cab is not my ideal Monday morning."
"Okay. You take care, okay?"
"Yes Mom. Love you."
"Love you too, baby."
And that ended the call. I grabbed my things and ran. I locked the door. And being the very lucky girl that I am, all the cabs passing by has passengers. So lucky. Note the sarcasm, people. I looked at my wristwatch and sighed. Five minutes already passed.
I made up my mind. I'll just run. Right. Run.
I started running, not minding the people I passed by. I have to reach school in time. I have to take that exam. I reviewed well for that. That's the reason I woke up late. I reviewed until 2AM. It's 8:55AM now. My class starts at 9AM. Just imagine what I'm feeling right now as I run.
It's good that I'm good at running. So good that-BEEP!
What? What?
What happened?
I turned around and saw that I was almost hit by a car. I was just standing there, dumbfounded, shocked. I almost died!
The car's door opened and out came a handsome creature. VERY handsome creature.
"Hey, are you okay?" the handsome creature asked. He walked towards me and looked at me, head to foot, checking if I have injuries.
I looked at my wristwatch. My eyes widened. What the eeef? I'm gonna be late! I don't have time to be stand here!
"I almost hit you! Are you stupid or something?" the handsome creature asked.
"Hey, Mister. I have to go, I'm gonna be late for my exam. I'm fine. Gotta go!"
Then I started running again. I can almost see the gate of our school from here.
I stopped and looked back.
He was still there, looking at me.
I waved my hand at him and smiled. "And Mister? I'm not stupid!"
Then I ran again.
That concludes Chapter I.
And yeah, I got the name of the cemetery from the cemetery not far from us. XDD
