"We were both young when I first saw you..."

Nene and Amane have been childhood best friends ever since the amber eyed boy moved in the neighborhood from across the street eight years ago. She was 10 years old, and he was one year older than her. 
The poor girl had been teased by her new friend because of her daikon legs. But from there, they had gotten a long well since then.

"I close my eyes and the flashback starts, I'm standing there, on the balcony in summer air."

Nene had seen him from her bedroom balcony. And it was also in summer when they had moved in, coincidental, no?

"See the lights, see the party, the ball gowns, see you make your way through the cloud, you say hello... Little did I know..."

At that time, her relatives and neighbors were invited to their house for a big celebration of sorts, since their house was a two-story building, they had no problem with the visits.

Nene loved to see her mother and father wear formal clothing, as well as her relatives and close friends, like Aoi. For Nene, she was wearing a white dress with a not-quite low collar, with sleeves that reached her elbows, and the skirt had reached to her knees, not covering her legs, sadly. And a white fan accompanied with her oufit. But she was happy either way.

She wasn't expecting her new neighbor to be invited along with his parents and brother.

He dressed up rather nicely, a black tux, along with a matching necktie and shoes, but his choppy black hair was messy as always.

His brother Tsukasa had been invited as well, although he was more... "wild." His tux jacket was a bit disheveled and his tie was crooked, but was soon fixed by their mother.

The party had gone by smoothly. Drinks given out, and dinner prepared. Laughter echoed throughout the house, with the clanking of glass and utensils.

The adults had asked their children to do some bonding time, and escorted them to the living room.

Tsukasa had met a green-eyed girl named Sakura, Aoi already knew Akane, since they were introduced to each other since they were babies.

Nene met a blond haired boy with blue eyes named Kou, in which he introduced her to Mitsuba and his older brother Teru, who was quite handsome and for Mitsuba... he was quite... er, loud, as she might say. And very... smug, claiming he was the
... cutest. But she payed it no mind.

Nene smiled at the quiet banter between the blond and the "cute, loud" boy, before she felt a small tap on her shoulder, she looked over her shoulder, to see... Amane.

Nene had always been a dreamer, the romantic, always dreaming of a "blond haired prince to sweep her off her feet and carry her away to his palace and live happily ever after", but no.

"That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles and my daddy said 'Stay away from Juliet.'"

Her father had liked Amane, thought of him like his own son. But he told Nene he would never allow anyone to date her, unless she was of age.
