Synopsis
Prologue She ran hard like a deer chased by a forest beast, laughing and making sounds like a cricket and he also ran as fast as he could to catch up with her. She cursed underneath her breathe, breathing heavily after having a rough race with him. She lowered head, wrapping her hair with a bow at the same time She thought those enchanting flowers and lilies could hid her but....... . While he was muttering with anger, he could not find her, he wanted to tell her his mind but She was just being playful. She merely listen to what he was saying, he got mad and she sprang up thinking he was joking. She just thinking about fun. She doesn’t know that she had gotten in his goddamnit nerve He sighted her and he started tiptoeing behind her. After long time of playing hid and seek he got the chance and gripped her neck. ''How dare you make fun of me?'' He growled angrily adding more force on her neck. She struggling to be free from his grip ''Common.... I.. I... was only joking... am sorry'' she stammered holding on to his hand that is not giving up on her neck. ''Go to hell...!'' He shouted before releasing hher but he didn't watch the next move as she fell and clashed her head on the sharp edged stone on the earth's surface ''Uhhggg... Ahhh...'' His screaming went out like a roar. He killed his love..... Little Anne smiled at the garden just behind their new apartment. It looked old though but deep in her heart, she is really planning for a change on it. She is ready and willing to make it her small heaven filled with different species of flowers. She ran back inside to her brothers and her parents who were busying packing inside. ''Brady! come see what i found behind our house!'' she grinned pulling his T-shirt. ''Hey! Little fruit! you see am really busy over here ... Hop over to Pete! huh!....'' Brad replied with a helpless shrug. ''Geez...'' she mumbled and ran to the car to her father. ''Dad! come see something...''she said with happiness. Her eye dilating like a puppy eye. ''Anne.... am busy right now! I need to pack these boxes inside as soon as possible you know I need to heed to your uncle Zack and inform him we’re here! maybe later'' Her dad answered ''Noo dad! dad common... please!! just a minute.. no i mean few seconds please!!’ She grimaced ''No..... Anne go meet your mum..'' her dad said firmly before walking inside the dreamy duplex. She sighted her mum pulling a big carton out of their car. ''Mummy.....'' she mimicked softly trying to lure her mum. ''Not now Anne'' Her mum shunned her immediately without even looking up at her. ''Okay...'' she said lowly walking away. Too bad her charm failed on every one. From the apartment to their fence she heeded and climbed to seat on the lowered fence. She felt lonely and sad. She smiled as she remembered the garden again. Hearing low and weak melodious sounds behind her, she looked behind the fence and to her greatest surprise It'a boy just like her age mate, singing out loud, pouring out his soul in the air. With his closed eyes and his little fingers playing the guitar, He looked like musician playing on live stage. Anne smiled feeling carried away with his voice, she rested her head on her wrist and closed her eyes. All of sudden, music stopped and she opened her eyes to see the golden haired boy facing her ''Oh my God!'' “He is a little angel!!!” What's next? kindly comment below! Thanks.

6 years later

Anne

I hit my little alarm which is always on my bed side shelf, hearing the shouts of my brothers.

"Not this morning...."

I groaned before yawning.

''Oh my God!..... Lucas!'' I shouted as I remembered.

I spunked up my bed and I ran as fast I could to my bathroom window, that is where i could see him clearly cause his room is right in front of my bathroom's window

And damned... his window is widely opened

Thank goodness!!

I stood on my bath tube to have a clear view. "what is he doing?"

"Where is he??"

"He is not in his room yet?"

Those were the questions running in my mind at this moment.

I know he goes to school early everyday but at least he should have wait a little bit for me.

"Oh my!! I pray he's not gone yet even though he doesn't care but I do!!"

Don't ask me why

Because he is

My first crush...

Yes!!

Lucas is my first crush even though he doesn't know nor he care about my feelings for him but my brothers are aware and they fight me for crushing a introvert who doesn't care and appreciate my feelings.

But I don't care as long I get to see him everyday is okay for me.

Still checking and searching his room with microscopic eye but I can't see him

He's gone.....

''Anne....!'' that's my mum but am not ready to go to school if i don't see my Prince Charming..... Lucas!

''Am not ready mum!'' i shouted back and sighted the golden haired.

And there he is...

He's already in his uniform

Awww...

''Lucas!'' I called nearly screaming my lungs out, though the shutters are kind of interrupting, but i don't care.

He turned to the window upon hearing his name but he couldn't see me

''Lucas!'' I grinned childishly and that was when he stared deeply at my window and I waved at him when he noticed that it's me and he hissed in return. As usual!

''No....!''

I didn't noticed when i fell off the tube and landed on the floor.

My back is really paining me.

It hurts...

Weakly I crawled and sat on my water closet in my toilet, nudging my head up in hope to see him again.

''Lucas..'' I called weakly as a tear dripped down my face.

I heard the door of my room open and Pete called my name

''Anne...!! Anne...!! " he called

He opened the curtain blinding my bathroom.

''Anne... what's wrong with you?

Lucas

I thought it was Pete at firs not knowing it was that dummy.

She is having a problem

She wouldn't stop pestering and stalking me for once since I met!

"Gosh.." I groaned in disappointment.

Being the boy next door is hell with this troublesome girl, ever since they got here, I just don't know why i dislike her.

I can't put myself to like her or stoop low to her level.

I carried my backpack and walk out of my room to my mum who is waiting to drop me off to school.

''What kept you so long a ghost or something? My mum teased before she opened the passenger's seat down.

''It would have better if it was a ghost'' I replied nonchalantly.

''Hmmmn....''

My mum stressed and smiled

''Anne right?''

she asked and winked at me.!

''Yeah...'' I nodded as she ignited the car.

''Have you ever liked her??"

''Not now mum! We're not starting with her this morning!" I snapped before looking away.

''Okay... Fine!" she agreed and started driving.

The air in car at ease. I feel much better.

Anne'

Heading to my class for my morning lesson with no smile on my face.

Liz saw me first and she ran to me on the sideways to our homeroom

''Hey!'' she said but i ignored

''What happened to you Anne?'' she asked

" It's Lucas??"

" Common!! Say something!!" She shouted pulling my arm but that doesn't prick me.

She stopped walking

"Anna!!" She shouted and ran to me when she saw that am planning to stop.

"What's wrong with you??" She asked a again resting her head on my shoulder.

" Am not in the mood to talk Liz!" I said quietly.

I may be a meek and dumb girl to Lucas but to my friends and family am a lioness trapped in the next of a sweet little girl.

"Anna!!"

I turned my head to the voice that called my name.

It's Hugo!!
