Chapter 2
My name is Shin Yuna, 28 years old. This morning I went to church to attend the wedding of my ex-boyfriend. I just went outside the church because I still, can't stand watching him getting married. Just when I have given up and just wanted to move on, I got transported to the past and became a high schooler again.
"Please don't forget to do your assignments."
The teacher said prior to leaving our class.
The class stood up and said goodbye to the teacher.
My face still looks dumbfounded...
Ahhh I'm still lost...I still don't understand everything that is happening?
.

"Yuna are you ok?"
Mikan asked anxiously as she approached me at my table.
"Ehhh...Mikan, what is the date and year now?"
I stand up and insistently asked.
"It's April 4,****. Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"
"April...I see."
It was this month...I went back to thinking.
Mikan and I walk towards the door.
"Waaaaah!"
I was blown away and shocked by the screams coming from outside of our door...
Wah! I think it breaks my eardrums
There are girls squealing in the hallway...
(sigh...)Hai! I am already having a headache analyzing things and here they are adding pain to my head...
"Ah, he is so handsome...kya! kya! kya!"
Oh! please I really need to think!!!
Are high school girls are really this noisy...they are squealing as if there is a fire in this building...
Please, quiet down a bit...
"Yuna..."
I am still in deep thought when I heard a familiar voice calling me...
I raised my head to see who is that person calling me...
"Yo!"
He is Akira Ryuu. My ex-boyfriend. We were childhood best friends. He used to live next to my house. His family and mine were close to each other. Even though there is a big gap between our family status, he doesn't care about it. He was my first love and the only person that I loved.
I thought our relationship will last...
"How are you? I actually want to discuss to you our plan later... Uhm... actually...Uhm I wanna ask if you like to..."
As I look at him.
Is this real...?
Is he really talking to me again...?
This voice...I thought I will no longer hear again.
My mind went blank...
I don't understand what I feel now...
"Ehhh! Yuna are you ok?" Mikan asked as he shakes my body.
I felt my tears dripping down from my eyes while looking at him.
...and before I even think, my feet start moving and run away from him.
"Yuna wait!" Mikan and Akira shouted while chasing me.
I run as fast as I could.....
"Hey, no running at the hallway" a student shouted.
I just keep on running until...
Blag!...(bump)
"Uh..."
"Aaaaah what happen? that really hurts..."
I was shaking my head and when I open my eyes, I realize I am on top of someone...
...My jaw just dropped. I was again in shock.
"Aaaah it's you!!!" I shouted while crawling away from her.
In all people...
I put my hands on my chest.
After seeing Akira now it's her...
My heart is aching again...
The pain... are they all coming back again?
She is Shiroi Lure. The person who stole my boyfriend.
I exhaled...
"Uhm...?"
I was appalled by this situation but I need to calm down.
Ok...what should I do? I just meet her again here in highschool.
Ah!? I can only stare at her with disbelief, I noticed she struggles to stand up so instinctively I offered my hand...
"Uhm!"
After I stretch my arm towards her...She just ignores it and stood up on her own.
I feel displeased by her reaction but it's better...I should hate her by the way...
All I want is to never see her again, so why?
Every time I see her I feel bad not only just by seeing her but I also feel bad for myself...
If you will look at her in all ways, anyone could immediately tell her beauty is incomparable. From her soft long dark hair, white skin, dark brown eyes with long thick eyelashes and perfectly shaped face. I have to admit I won't really stand a chance against her beauty but aside from her beauty, she is also the top student in our school. She even came from a renowned and extremely rich family. Compare to me who is plain and simple and only came from a family who only earns just enough to survive each day and only able to enter this school because of the scholarship I got but it's not even because I am smart it's only because of the sport I was doing way back then...
Now in High school, I have short brown bob hair just above my shoulder and I am also a bit boyish because of how I move and the clothes I wear but after I graduated I grow my hair long and started taking care of myself more in an attempt to reach her level but looking at her... I knew...I still don't stand any chance.
(Sigh...)My head falls down.
I look at her once more.
I move my eyes towards her looking at her from head to toe.
She stood up straight and she immediately fixes her uniform. She is truly a refined woman. I can't stop being amazed by her beauty. Is she really a human being. Why she has to exist in my world?
"Aren't you supposed to say sorry here?"
I snap back to reality as she asked in a quite rude tone...
Something tick on my head after hearing those words. I feel so bad that my eyebrows raise up.
"What?"
I asked a bit surprise and just trying to compose myself.
-Yuna....calm yourself...She's just a high schooler right now. Remember, in reality, you are older than her. As an adult I should not let my temper to go over me...
I close my eyes and bow my head towards her.
"Sorry for bumping to you..."
Though I feel bad apologizing to her, I know we are both at fault here. I did not look when I was running...so I just apologize to her.
I heard her footsteps as she walks away...
"Wait that's it?"
This girl has not apologized to me yet...
(Flashback)
after graduation...
"Please I beg you!"
I kneel down in front of Lure with tears flowing in both of my cheeks...
"I don't want to waste my time with you..." Lure said coldly then she turns her back at me and started to walk away.
"I love Akira, he is the most important person to me so please...I beg you don't take him away from me. I beg you to give up on him..."
She stopped walking and stood up straight.
"Love...?"
She whispered and turn around to look at me.
She stares at me with those eyes full of hatred...
Why? I don't understand why she looks at me this way? What did I do to her? It's me who is hurt here...
"He already chooses me. I did not force him. Do you think if I give up on him he will return to you?"
She let out a wry smile then she turn around and walk away.
-end of the flashback.
I just remember how much this person hurt me.
She has never apologized to me even once...
"Wait!"
I shouted as I chased her and grab her arm.
"shouldn't you apologize to me as well?"
She looks intensely into my eyes...
"It's obviously your fault so why would I."
She said again with that cold, emotionless fixed expression on her face.
She grabs my hand and removes it from her arm.
My mind just went blank...
"Don't you dare touch me again..."
Lure said with a sharp look but I notice sadness as she turns her head away from me...
What was that?
I just asked on my mind as I look at her walking away.
I don't understand her...
"There you are!"
Someone grab me and dragged me from behind.
Eh!!!
what now!!!?
***a moment later
I open my eyes and here I am wearing a white karate gi or karate uniform. I am surrounded by Karate club members and in front of me is a man which I think will be my opponent.
I just stand there looking at them with a blank face.
It's been a long time since I did this.
Wahhh! what should I do?
This man standing in front of me is so big that you won't believe he really is in high school...He even looks like a goon...waah!
I feel my body is shaking now and I began sweating coldly. I just swallowed...
I stopped karate even before I graduated from high school...
What should I do about this!!!?
-and where is she?
The person who dragged me here?
I look around...and it makes me more nervous looking at their very fierce faces...
There she is... she is sitting on her legs behind this man. She is drinking tea calmly like nothing is happening, while the other members are cheering...
She is Ayaka Aoi, I remember now...she is the club president or captain and I am part of this club.
I tried to forget everything about my high school life in order for me to move on but they are all returning now as I try to relieve this moment...
My head turns down...What should I do? If this keeps going...
Everyone quiet down. I raised my head to see what is happening.
Aoi raised her hands and all bow down to pay respect to her.
After that, the man in front of me bow down as well at me then he changes to his fighting stance.
"wait!"
I screamed waiving both of my hands in front of him.
"I'm sorry but I can't do this,"
All of them look flabbergasted at what I said.
Then the calm face of Aoi has changed to confusion and disbelief...
"What the hell you are saying? You never back down to any fight!"
"Ah...Sorry but I can no longer fight"
I bow down to all of them then leave them in disbelief...
*******
"Shin Residence"
After taking a bath I lay down on my bed...trying to analyze things.
I still can't believe this is all happening. Am I really in highschool again? Am I given another chance...but for what?
Earlier I saw Akira. Do I still have feelings for him? Should I do my best to keep him this time...should I take revenge on that heartless woman...somehow I just wanna run away again so that I can move on...but it's hard to go back to who I am before...
Haaaa!- I took a deep breath and exhale loudly.
I stare at the light in my ceiling then I slowly close my eyes. Probably everything will go back to normal tomorrow...
Tok!
Tok!
Tok!
Huh?
"What is that?"
I open my eyes.
There are noises from my window.
I stood up and walk towards my window. I open it...
(Thud!)
I felt that something just hit my head, I fell down as everything turns all black...
.
.

**********a moment later*********
"Ahhhh sorry, Yuna! Please forgive me!" Akira pleads, putting both of his palms together.
I still feel dizzy and there is still this tingling pain in my head.
"Don't you know it's dangerous to throw stones in other people's houses? Have you not heard of knocking on doors?"
We stare at each other for a few seconds...
then we let out a loud laugh. A very loud laugh.
"I really thought you are mad at me. You just ran away earlier. What happen there? You cried and ran away all of a sudden."
"Ah..."
I don't know what to say
I just look at him with my mouth open and he looks intently at me waiting for my answer
"Ah! Actually...my stomach really hurt...yeah right! It hurts so much that time, that's why I cried and I was in a hurry to go to the toilet....hehe"
Oh god, I suck in lying...What am I saying?
What is wrong with me? Why am even I lying to him?
He remains looking at me intently...
I think he will not believe me if I tell him I am from the future and the reason I ran away earlier because he dumped me in the future.
He exhaled
"Ahhh! I was so worried you know?" He said looking at me with relief.
"Sorry for making you worried...!" I replied to him.
Now that I am looking at him and seeing how worried he is about me now. Who would have thought he will cheat on me and left me for that girl...
Is this really a second chance for me and him. Should I try to get him back? Should I do everything to keep him before Akira went crazy for that girl?
(Flashback)
"Let's break up..."
"What are you saying Akira? Why are you breaking up with me all of a sudden?"
"Sorry because there is no easy way to say this... I am in love with someone else now. There is no one else in my mind and heart now aside from her. If you really love me just please let me go..."
-end of flashback
We've been together for so many years so...Why? Why did you hurt me? You just throw away all those years because you met her...
I struggled for so many years after you broke my heart...I don't think I can trust you again...
My face turns emotionless...
"Please go home now...we still have classes tomorrow."
I said goodbye and turn my back on him.
"Yuna wait! we are ok, right?
Sorry for suddenly asking but you seem strange..."
I stopped there.
-Should I just break up to you now before you break my heart...
I turn my head again to look at him.
"Huh? why we would be not, right?". I said with a fake smile.
"Your thinking too much. You really have to get a sleep....bye Akira!"
I said then I walk quickly to get inside my house.
"Phew....!"
Has he left?
I hold on to my chest...
"You did good Yuna in controlling yourself. I should not make any abrupt decision...I have to think first how will I live with this new chance given to me."
I don't want to get hurt again but I have to think thoroughly about what to do with this chance... I need a plan hmmm?
"Huwahhh!" (Yawn)
But I think I have to go to sleep first.
