Chapter 1:

3 years and 7 months have already passed by. Mei was sitting at the bench near her favorite mahogany tree at the university. It reminded her of her high school days where she and her barkada just hang out and do their own stuffs. Gifted in a special field of the arts, each concentrated with her own work, but still, they are together. Sometimes chatting and making fun of each other's work. It was really fun and unforgettable.

"Hey"

Mei looked up to see her Japanese friend, Saori who had dark brown hair which was never really tidy, beautiful brown eyes, rosy cheeks, fair and a bit tall.

"Hey" Mei replied as she closed the book she was reading.

Saori sat beside her. "What's that? She asked pointing at the book Mei was holding.

"This? It's The Miracle Dreams written by my friend. She gave this to me on my 14th birth day" Mei said as she remembered hose happy memories she and her barkada had on that special day.

"You really miss them, don't you?"Saori smiled.

Mei looked at her straight in the eyes which were now gleaming because of the sunlight. She smiled and said "Yeah, I really do.. Especially our mischiefs"

Saori laughed "Why? We also do mischiefs here, don't you agree?" She winked.

"Right"

"So, are you going to the concert?"

" I don't know, Raphael wants to have dinner with me" Mei said softly.

"So he does like you!" Saori said cheerfully.

"He does, I don't" Mei said sternly.

Saori was speechless by her friend's way of reply. But she still manages to recover quickly, "That's why you have to go to the concert! Don't you want to see Mark?"

"Maybe" Mei replied with a teasing look.

She whined. "Oh., come on! It's a once in a lifetime opportunity. If you don't go, you'll regret it for the rest of your life and when you grew old, your children will laugh at you and say that you are so lame because you didn't attend the concert of some famous half Japanese guy of you time. And when you die, you'll die with a heavy heart that you didn't go to that concert!!"

"Saori!! Chill! You're committing a fallacy of slippery slope! Come on, if I wont go to that concert, I sure am not going to die still regretting it because there may be a lot of ways I could watch his concert some other time." Mei grinned.

Saori looked at her. Damn! she's witty, besides the fact that she's good at debates. Saori sighed and smiled "You're right.. but still-" she paused when she saw Mei giving her a mischievous smile. "Well, If you're a good fiend, can you at least accompany me to the concert? Please?! After all you said that you don't like Raphael."

Mei closed her eyes and pointed out "Argumentum ad Populum"

"Mei!!" Saori pushed her.

Mei laughed. Okay, okay. I'll think about it. I've been turning down Raphael's invitation for about eight times already. And I feel really guilty about that even though I don't like him."

Saori was relieved "Okay, but can you at least promise me one thing?"

"What is it?"

"Follow where your heart leads you to"
