CHAPTER 4: The Beginning
Almost all of the people in the internet café knew each other. It all started with internet chatting that they met and later became friends.
Mikan switched on her laptop. She looked at her Facebook account. Then, in her Tumblr account. Next, she posted on Twitter. She visited her YM account. She watched videos in YouTube. She searched on Google. She chatted. And she played online games.
Anna, on the other hand, can't help herself but laugh out loud. She was now chatting with some guy she met at YM.
"Since she started chatting with that guy, she laughs like a crazy old woman in the street," Nonoko commented.
"Yeah! You know, I'm just curious, Anna-chan. Is that guy –you're chatting with- rich?" Hotaru asked while still facing the computer.
"Hm. You're fortunate Hotaru because Ruka's handsome, filthy rich, and loves you dearly. Anyway, that aside, why don't we ask for his picture, Anna-chan?" Mikan suggested.
"He said we could swap our pictures but he changed his mind and suggested that we'll just meet in person someday." Anna said while her eyes are still in the monitor.
"Send him your scanned pictures for swapping. At least, we'll recognize him already when you guys meet someday." Permy, a girl with a green curly hair, said.
Before everyone knew it, it's four o'clock PM already. Mikan realized that she was hungry.
"I'll be out for a while, guys. I'm just going to the bakeshop," Mikan announced and closed the door.
Meanwhile, Nonoko asked, "Hey! By the way, what's the guy's name again, Anna-chan?"
"Koko." Anna replied. "Don't you think he might be the one-" Anna paused, "the one I've been looking for?"
Nonoko gasped, "You mean- your future boyfriend?"
Anna chuckled. Hotaru gave her a questioning glare. "Hmm ... Well, let's see."

Meanwhile, Mikan sat at the corner of the bakeshop where she can see the whole area from where she was. Everyone seems to know each other.
"Indecent display of affection in a public place," said Tono who's paying his orders at the counter. It seems like he's referring to the lovers sitting behind the cash register.
"If the brains of the kids here get polluted because of you, I'll definitely send you, together with Misaki, to the mental hospital, Tsubasa" Tono said.
"That bread costs twenty rabbits, Tono," Tsubasa rolled his eyes, changing the subject.
"Here," Tono said.
"Each."
"What?"
"Are you even paying attention? I said; that's twenty rabbits each."
"No, this one only costs two rabbits each, Tsubasa." Tono indicated.
"Yeah, you're right. The remaining eighteen rabbits is the additional payment for disturbing Misaki and I. Indecent display of affection in a public place your ass. Geez, you should at least be wary of the atmosphere sometimes, Tono."
"That's ridiculous!" Tono exclaimed.
His facial expression was priceless. Misaki chuckled. Mikan couldn't help but smile at the scene. It was hilarious and sweet. She went out of the bakeshop. She walked around and looked for a place where she could take a rest. She sat in the gutter and watched some children playing on the road. She loved the peaceful surroundings of that community. Others were just simply chatting. There were many plants and trees everywhere. And the houses were all fine and well-designed.
"Meow."
She turned around and saw a kitten. The kitten was busy licking its foot. She tried reaching for the kitten but someone stepped beside her.
"Kerochan doesn't like strangers." She turned and gazed at the man standing in front of her. "I'm sorry I thought the kitten-" With wide eyes, Mikan saw that familiar face, his raven hair and his crimson eyes. She noticed that he froze too. That means he also recognized her.
Absolutely silence.
Purgatory.
Hell.
"Ahhh!" Mikan screamed in shock. The person in front of her was also the person she met seven months ago- that same guy –slash- Mr. Leave Me Alone –slash- The Angry God in the Lake. In an instant, she knew that she would have the worst day of her life. Little did she know that her life will never be the same again.
