Prologue: Love and Despair

*ririririririririririiiing~*

The school bell rang signifying the end of class.

We all sighed with the class finally over, some even stretched their backs and arms, yawning as they do so.

"Mii, heading home?" (Lucas)

"Yeah, are you gonna come with me again?" (Mii)

Mii laughed seemingly not rejecting the idea of me coming with her on the way home.

Mii can be considered as one our school's top beauties, ranking 4th on the entire campus. A half Japanese. She had a smooth long black hair, long eyelashes, pinkish watery lips, white pinkish skin, and a nice figure to go with it.

But I don't care about all that, I am confident that even if she's ugly, I would still love her, and she knows it.

The reason is pretty simple, we live close to each other, we met a lot of times, and naturally, had a lot of encounters and walks. Over time, it just all clicked together.

Though, we're still not a formal couple. But none of us drive the other away and are comfortable with the current situation.

Until I grew tired of it.

I wanted more.

I wanted a more open relationship.

To be her boyfriend.

And someday, be her husband who will walk with her until death does us part.

One day, I decided to openly confess my feelings in front of everyone.

I'm already sure she feels the same way, so why should I hesitate?

I thought as I wait for her answer.

But...

I wish I never had...

"Lucas......ha...haha, you actually think I'm in love with you? No way, no way. Other than being kind, you're just average. So you had this intention every time you talk to me? From now on, don't come near me." (Mii)

That day, my entire world shattered.

I stopped caring about anyone else.

Just let myself shut from the rest of the world.

Away from their ridicule.

Away from her.

Away from that traitor.

I didn't even know that the day after she said those words to me, she had already left for Japan.

But it doesn't matter, does it?

Not that it will change anything.

Nothing at all...

A few years after, Lucas had already healed somewhat and was able to go to college.

However, he chose the college which has the least students from Lucas' highschool. If he wanted, he could've choose one where there are none at all, but Lucas isn't stupid enough to let his future be destroyed because of that and still chose a decent college.

But that doesn't matter right now, in fact, in his same college, a certain girl is happily walking about while talking to the phone.

"Jason, I got it already! Geez, you worry too much." (???)
