All alone, wishing on stars
Waiting for you to find me

CHAPTER 1 "Star, Star, Grant My wish"

A certain brunette looked out of the window…staring at the pale moon. She stared at it for a while then to the stars shining brightly in the sky as if wishing that this were all a dream. But she knew it wasn't—it was a nightmare.

Of depression, Mikan sighed.

"Time passes by so quickly…" she said to herself. She closed the curtains and headed to bed.

She rolled from left to right and she just couldn't sleep. It started a month ago when her mother died due to a certain disease. And her father…well, he left when Mikan was still a baby. Her mother said he went away and made another family, leaving them alone.

So her mom worked hard for Mikan to go to school. Despite of their poverty, they didn't give up hope—and they still lived happily…until her mom died.

She could remember it…as if it was just like yesterday.

The way her mom looked when Mikan got home from school; the way the doctor said it was too late—they were still fresh in her mind. Though, she was very thankful her father sent her money every-so-often to support her needs.

But there were no letters, pictures and even e-mails that came from her father. She didn't have any clue to what he looked like, where he lived…these kinds of stuff.

Mikan sighed of depression again.

"Mom," Mikan whispered as if her mom was right beside her. "I hope wherever you are now…you're watching over me."

She went out of bed yet again and peeked at the sky.

She saw it again—the star that always made her smile; her favorite star. She stared at the star for a while and said, "Oh, star, at least you're always here when I need you. I wish you were here…I hate being alone."

She smiled again and went to sleep. She wanted to believe that the star where here, watching over her but she doubted it. After what has happened, it was hard to believe in miracles. She closed her eyes again and drifted to sleep.

But unknown to her, her favorite star suddenly lighted so brightly—and disappeared.

At around two in the morning, Mikan woke up. She heard weird noises from the kitchen. She sat up as quietly as she can and looked around.

'A burglar?' she had thought.

She stood up and took the green umbrella beside her study table. She opened the door as it creaked quietly.

She tiptoed to the kitchen and then prepared to see someone in a black ski mask and black suit rummaging around her kitchen.

"KYA!" she yelled, preparing to hit the 'so-called' burglar. Unfortunately, no one was there.

Mikan scratched her head. "I must've been imagining it," she said as she turned around.

Mikan opened her mouth to shout when she saw a figure in front of her but whoever it was quick; he had covered her mouth on time.

Mikan's eyes widened in shock. Could it be? That there really was a burglar in the house?
