It had been two long years since the red headed beauty had seen the lover she tried so hard to forget. It was a daily struggle for her to forget all the memories she had. She could never understand how if their love was so strong, then why was she so easily forgotten? Every reason as to why her ex-lover would just suddenly stop acknowledging her existence made no sense in her mind. She had the right to have a reason explained to her, and yet she never got one.
"Shizuma…" the red headed beauty whispered.
She had done well to put her ex-lover out of her mind for the past couple of months. But now that she would be going to college in America, in the same state, the same city as her ex-lover, the thoughts of Shizuma had almost been nonstop. Of course, when she had made up her mind to UCLA, she had no idea that Shizuma would be anywhere near.
After being forced to act in "Carmen" in her fourth year, the red headed beauty had grown a silent love for acting. She tried so hard not to admit it to herself, but her passion for acting overtook her. She performed in every play possible during her high school years, always having a main role, if not the leading part. She was naturally a talented actress and everyone around her applauded her skill.
When she made the decision to go to UCLA, her parents were thrilled. They had caught one of the plays she had done in high school and swore she would become famous. Not only did her parents believe in her, but they were ecstatic to know that their baby girl would finally be living so close to them.
Upon the red headed beauty's graduation, and old friend appeared; Miyuki. She was excited and disappointed all at once. Miyuki came to see her graduate, but the love of her life didn't even send a congratulation text.
She and Miyuki talked for hours; constantly avoiding the topic of Shizuma. It was very clear that Miyuki and Shizuma were still the best of friends, and that Miyuki knew Shizuma had been ignoring the girl for the past two years. When the red headed beauty mentioned her excitement about getting accepted to UCLA for acting, Miyuki's face expressed shock.
"Fate would have it that way," Miyuki said lowly, smiling and shaking her head.
"What?" The red headed beauty said puzzled, her eyes dancing with curiosity.
"Nagisa..." Miyuki trailed, "You do know who goes to UCLA, don't you?"
As soon as the sentence left Miyuki's mouth, Nagisa knew who she went. Horror and excitement flooded the red head. Nagisa was puzzled as to how she couldn't remember something like that. Then she remembered that Shizuma had never said a word about her future. And she now knew that it was because her ex-lover obviously wanted nothing to do with her.
"Well, what are the chances that I'll actually see her?" Nagisa said nervously. "I mean, it's a huge school, with thousands of students, and I'm sure she's not in the same department."
"What if you do run into her?" Miyuki asked, plainly intrigued.
"Then…" Nagisa trailed off, lost in thought.
"What would I do?" Nagisa thought to herself. "I honestly don't know if I could even handle seeing her."
"Nagisa?" Miyuki questioned, eagerly awaiting a response.
"I have no idea what I would do," Nagisa said with no emotion in her voice. "I guess we'll both know if I do see her."
