The sun is shining brightly over a white house near the beach, while two little kids are making their promises to each other
"Promise me that you'll still remember me when you're back here…"
"hn…"
"Wah!!! Natsume!!! Come on tell me that you'll come back here and… and remember me"
"hn…"
"Natsume answer me!!"
Then she wails, "Give me a sure answer Natsume!!!!"
"I won't let any commitment escape from my lips"
"But—so you mean… you'll just… forget me? How about the years we are together"
"It's nothing for me Mikan! You are really nothing for me"
"You know what Natsume… You are the least person that I know that would say something like that to me, its… its just a joke right?"
"You think I'm joking?"
Then she nods
"Well I'm not… JA…ne… Strawberry" then as he walked away, he kissed Mikan's forehead and leaves, while Mikan on the other hand, didn't move and tears escape from her eyes, it was at that time unstoppable… then she heard his footsteps stopped
"Before I go… promise me you'll stop crying like that"
"No."
"JA…ne… or maybe… SAYONARA! Mikan"
A girl with brown curls is sitting at the bench, she wears a hat with a ribbon in its side, and she wears a white dress. She looked at the children in the park, how she wished she enjoyed her childhood… but she didn't… Will Natsume still know her? Will he still recognize her? Or the worst does he forgot her already since it been ten years?

Mikan's POV
"MIKAN! Good news Natsume will be arriving today exactly 4 in the afternoon" it was Nonoko. Indeed, I am in an endless thought but when I heard that news my spirit is uplifted… within ten years I kept my feelings for him, I never thought that this would be that hard, I am also afraid of this fated day, the day that we will met again… I'm afraid because… maybe… just maybe he wouldn't know me… forget me…
"So Mikan, are you going?"
"No."
"Why is that?"
"Because for sure he forgets about me"
"really… What if he doesn't?"
"THEN TELL WHY HE DOESN'T EVEN MAILED ME, HE DIDN'T MAILED ME EVEN ONCE!" then a single flow of crystalline tears made their way through my blurry eyesight down to my face to my aching heart
Flashback…
"Wah!!! Natsume!!! Come on tell me that you'll come back here and… and remember me"
"hn…"
"Natsume answer me!!"
Then she wails, "Give me a sure answer Natsume!!!!"
"I won't let any commitment escape from my lips"
End of Flashback
"He told me, he won't let any commitment escape from his lips! I'm asking him to promise me… that he'll remember me… but… FORGET IT! I WON'T GO TO THAT STUPID AIRPORT" I heard Nonoko-san sigh and heard her footsteps faint, I know I'll regret this but its okay… I can still hold my feelings though it's so hard.
"SAYONARA! MIKAN" those words that keep on repeating in my mind makes my eyes blur, as hot liquor plunge from my eyes, I am crying once again. I've been alone for ten years, I guess… even though Hotaru, Nonoko and Anna is still at my side when I'm alone I still miss his words, his presence, his touch or his whole self. I really missed him and I want to hug him, but how can I hug a celebrity now?
Next Morning…
As usual, I wake up not that early because I'm sure that I've already missed my first class, I don't hurry since I've grown, some how I have change… I wonder if he also changed, is it a lot?
I looked at my mirror, and I see my eyes red… I guess I have cried when I am asleep, I looked at my hair and I can say that it is indeed messy, I go to my bathroom and take my bubble bath.
After that, I decided to comb my hair and put it in a bun and I walked out of my room and goes straight to my next class, it is music class.
I goes straight to my seat in the piano and played Mozart's Concerto for Oboe and Orchestra in C Major, K. 314, it is the only way I can put out my feelings for him, I really didn't mind if my classmates is their, they usually just stand there in the doorway and listen while I'm playing but today is kind a different, I can hear them whisper and I can feel their glares, I know that those glares are meant for me but I do not know why? Am I that dense?
Then after I have played the piece, I can feel a rush of flowing hot water from my eyes, I didn't think that I have played the piece whole-heartedly, and then I laugh… Nothing really I laugh, for no special reason
"Do you miss somebody?" I heard an unfamiliar voice but my heart seem to be familiar in that sound, I faced the owner of the said voice and found a 15-years-old male looking at me, and I can say that he has a pair of beautiful cherry-like eyes in which I really adored for a while, he also has those silky black hair, and he wears a pair of odd earrings, and I only noticed that OUR FACE IS INCHES AWAY FROM EACH OTHER!!!
"Do you hear me?" he asked
"Hai! How did you know?"
"Nothing, I just remembered somebody from my unknown past…"
"Your unknown past?"
"hn…"
"You forgot somebody don't you?"
"hn…"
"You know I bet she'll be sorry if she knew about those things"
"I hate girls"
"really then why are you talking to me?"
"'coz I guess you're not that hard to be with"
"You're new here, aren't you?"
"Yes"
"Then I must say welcome to our school" then I beamed him my sweetest kind of smile, he just "hn" and he goes to his seat, he's my seatmate! I also forgot to asked his name but I just don't mind, having a new good friend is okay for me… but when my teacher comes in to our class, my world became upside down when I heard that his name is the one in my dreams that keeps on haunting me and keeps on hurting me inside… NATSUME!
