EPISODE ONE: WELCOME TO MY LIFE
Hi! My name is Mikan Sakura. I am just your ordinary sixteen-year-old schoolgirl, who everyone likes to insult. You got that right! People, in my school, call me idiot, clumsy, stupid, dense, too naive to know everything and especially, nerdy. That's what people at my school call me. Everyone sees me as an ugly person because of my outside. Is it because I'm wearing those big glasses? I'm wearing those pigtails? And so what if I'm not as intelligent and witty as them? At least I have good qualities. But no person sees me as me. The truth is that no one, for now, really cares what is inside of ones person.
Let's take the "great" Natsume Hyuuga as an example.
He's my classmate and the most popular guy in school and even popular in the whole world because he is the heir of his richest father in Japan's company and the vocalist of the "Crimson Flames", which is the most popular band in Japan and to think maybe even the whole world.
I don't know why people especially his fan girls were over him. I don't see him as a special guy. Well, yeah, he has shiny and beautiful raven hair, gorgeous tantalizing crimson orbs, great nose, amazing mouth and amazing voice! But, I can't seem to see anything special about him. He's just a rude person. He doesn't really care if you're hurt. He'll just say, "Whatever."
Anyway, I think I have introduced myself to you. So, I'll just tell you the whole story of my life. Welcome to my life!
RRRRRRRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The brunette groaned while clumsily grabbed the alarm clock and shut the alarm off. She covered her whole body, even her face, on the blanket and said, "Just one more minute."
Then, she went off to sleep.
Minutes have passed by, she was still asleep.
KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!
"Mikan-chan! C'mon! Wake up! It's already 6:45 in the morning! You're going to be late! And your class is going to start at 7:00! Get yourself ready!" Mikan's mother called her.
Mikan lazily got up in a sitting position while her eyes were still droopy. "Just one more minute."
She suddenly flapped again lazily on her bed.
BAKA! BAKA! BAKA! BAKA! BAKA!
"Baka, get up! You're lucky I decided to go in here and wait for you." The raven-haired girl said, nonchalantly.
Mikan, who was on the ground because of the Baka Gun Hotaru shot to her, got up on the ground while rubbing the back of her head. "Okay, okay, Hotaru! I'll get up!"
"Prepare yourself in five minutes. Or else, I'll leave you here." Hotaru said, sat on Mikan's bed and started to open a jar of crab brains.
"H-hai!!!" Mikan bowed and started dashing towards the bathroom.
She got out from the bathroom and was already wearing her uniform which is a white blouse with a red ribbon tied around the collar and a red skirt. (A/N: It's just like the attire of their uniform in GA Elementary School Branch) She dashed towards the kitchen and took one slice of bread and sucked it in her mouth.
Hotaru, after eating her crab brains, looked at the watch. It was already 6: 51am. She got up and tidied her skirt and walked towards the outside of the Sakura's House. Before she closed the door, she shouted, "I'm outta here. You're making me late for class."
And there, the door was shut.
Meanwhile, Mikan was dashing towards the door, opened it and searched for Hotaru. She sighed and whispered, "She left me... again."
"HOTARU!!!" Mikan shouted, dashing and crying towards Hotaru. "Wait for me!!! Can't I ride with you?"
Hotaru was riding her scooter. She was enjoying the fact that Mikan was struggling. "No, this ride is for one person only. That is me. Thanks to you I'm going to be late."
And there she goes, pressing the red button on her scooter and the speed made it into maximum and in a blink of an eye, she's nowhere to be seen.
Panting, Mikan stopped and touched her knees. "Hotaru!!! Why? You're so mean!!!"
"I'm late! I'm late! I'M LATE!!!" Mikan shouted throughout the hallway. She was running to catch up for the first class. Actually, she was already late in about ten minutes. It was already 7:10 in the morning.
Meanwhile, on the class...
"I bet that's Mikan Sakura." One of the girls, Sumire Shouda, said in a high tone.
"Who else would it be? Of course, that would be the most clumsy, idiotic and stupid girl in the class, I mean in school. Oh, did I mention? The nerd!" Sumire's best friend, Luna Koizumi, replied. Both of them laughed and followed by the other girls.
KABOOM!
The door swung open and the brunette appeared. She bowed and bowed and bowed to the teacher who was Narumi-sensei.
"Gomene, gomene, gomene!!!" Mikan apologized. "I won't do it again. I promise I won't be..."
"What? Clumsy and idiot anymore?" Sumire stood up and laughed. "That wouldn't happen anymore, nerdy. You look disgusting with your glasses and those weird pigtails. You're the only girl here who looks ugly."
Mikan lowered her head and thought to herself, I'm sorry if I'm not as pretty as all of you. But, I know that God has the reason why he made me this way. And I should be proud of it.
"Wait a minute! That's supposed to be my line, Sumire!" Luna protested.
Sumire laughed in an evil tone. "Like I care!!!"
While the two were arguing, Narumi-sensei whispered to Mikan while sweat dropping, "Maybe you should go to your seat. Don't worry about the two. They don't know anything about you. All they care is their looks."
Mikan felt better by Narumi-sensei's words. She began to smile brightly and thanked him. She walked slowly towards her chair. She was trying not to embarrass herself again because all the time, she was tripping on someone else's foot and falling to the ground exposing her underwear. She didn't want that. So, she wanted to be more careful next time. Starting now.
"KYAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Mikan shouted.
The people in class started to laugh while Narumi-sensei covered his face in disappointment. He never wanted this to happen to Mikan. He pitied her. He wished he would help her but he would be fired anyway because of Natsume. One word from Natsume, Narumi's fired.
Just as what Mikan have told you, Natsume is the richest teenage boy and the most popular in the whole world.
Now, everything that Mikan didn't want to happen actually happened. Mikan was flustered.
"Polka-dots now, huh?" A male voice asked.
Everyone turned to the person who spoke. Everyone grew silent.
"Natsume-kun, my love! You saw it?" Sumire said while giggling and in a flirting tone.
"Hn," Natsume irritatingly replied. In the corner of his eyes, he can see Mikan was sobbing. But, he didn't care, did he?
Mikan's sobbing grew louder. She cried and cried. But then again, she heard Hotaru's Baka Gun.
BAKA! BAKA! BAKA! BAKA! BAKA! BAKA! BAKA! BAKA! BAKA! BAKA!
Mikan saw Sumire and Luna lying on the ground. She then turned towards Hotaru. Hotaru was beside her. "No one should be hurting her. No one is allowed to make her cry. Only I can do that. Or else, you'll be dealing with me."
"Ho-Hotaru!!!" Mikan stood up and quickly hugged her best friend.
Somehow, their other classmates watched them in awe.
No one really cares about others. Their own businesses are all they care. Maybe they don't even care if someone dies. Is this the first time they saw an idiotic girl and an ice queen had been together despite our attitudes? Well, they all thought wrong. Deep down inside of Hotaru's heart, there is the same feeling I feel for her. And I'm happy about that. I'm happy I met Hotaru. I'm grateful for that. I hope we will always be friends forever and no one will tear us apart. Hotaru, despite her attitudes, I love her. Mikan thought while hugging her best friend, Hotaru.
"Hn," Natsume commented irritatingly because of the scene. "Whatever. Hey polka-dots, never make a scene in front of everyone."
After that, Natsume stood up and went out from the room. His band mates or his friends followed him. "He's so mean. I don't get him. I don't even really know him and he acts as if he knew me already." Mikan murmured in an angry tone.
It's already 9:00 in the evening. Mikan lazily slouched on her bed. She grabbed the remote control beside her and pressed the ON button. The television flashed. It revealed a woman in mid-twenties on a chair and the "Crimson Flames" on the couch.
"So, I can't believe the Crimson Flames are actually here. And I'm actually going to interview them." The woman said in front of the camera.
Mikan, who's eyes were closed, opened her eyes and sat. Her eyes were focused on the screen. The woman continued but she was looking at the Crimson Flames, asking, "So, now that you're here. What do you want guys to talk about?"
"Are you kidding me? You're the host!" Mikan shouted.
The screen focused on Koko, "Anything will do." Then, he smiled.
Then, the screen focused on the woman, "Isn't it cute? You have a cute smile, Yome-kun."
Mikan rolled her eyes. What's the big deal about his smile? Sheesh!!! You better know them first before flirting around.
"Anyway, so, what about your latest song? Were you planning it already?" The woman asked.
The screen focused on Ruka, "Well, we already planned it. And we're ready to perform it."
Mikan smiled. At least there's one guy who are all unlike to them especially to Natsume. Ruka is totally different from Natsume.
The screen focused on the woman, "Before you start the special performance, who wrote the song? Is it beautiful? Well, I know it's beautiful because you made the song!!!"
Mikan rolled her eyes. Such flirtatious.
The screen focused on Ruka, revealing his warm smile. "Well, actually, Natsume's always the one writing our songs. Some were made by us. But, this song was made by Natsume. Hope you'll like it."
The audience squealed and chanting out their names. Mikan, again, rolled her eyes. It's obvious that the audience were the fan girls of the band, Crimson Flames.
The screen focused on to the woman, "So, Natsume-kun, you're the one who made the song. Are you dedicating it for someone? Someone special?"
Great! Flirting with the rude guy! Mikan thought. And why am I even watching this crap interview? Anyway, guess I should listen to their latest song.
The screen focused on to Natsume. The girls started screaming 'I love you!', 'Natsume' and many more. "Hn, whatever."
"I knew it!" Mikan stood up from the bed and walked to and fro in her room. "I knew it that Natsume would say 'whatever'." Mikan suddenly stopped when she heard Ruka's voice.
The screen began to focus on to Ruka. "I'm not sure. But I think he is actually dedicating this song for someone. He told me he pity the person very much. He felt sorry for that person. But, he can't think of anything to do. That's all I know."
Pity? Mikan asked to herself. "Who's he feeling sorry for?"
"Who's the person?" The woman flirtingly asked.
"It's our class – "
" – None of your business." Natsume began to speak. He managed not to let his friends say the person's name.
Class? Mikan's eyes widened. Could it be that he's pitying me?
The woman continued, quite afraid by Natsume's sudden reaction. "Okay, so now, can we hear the song?!"
The audience, who were murmuring, began to squeal out loud again.
Mikan was still standing with wide eyes. She sat on her bed and listened to the song that Natsume wrote for the person that he was pitying for.
Yuu went towards the disk area to make beautiful sound effects. Tsubasa went towards the drums. Koko grabbed the electric guitar. Ruka grabbed the acoustic guitar and Natsume grabbed the microphone and started the tune.
"This song is entitled, 'Welcome To My Life'." Natsume spoke.
Do you ever feel like breaking down?
Do you ever feel out of place?
Like somehow you just don't belong
And no one understands you
Do you ever wanna runaway?
Do you lock yourself in your room?
With the radio on turned up so loud
That no one hears you screaming
No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be like me
To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life
Do you wanna be somebody else?
Are you sick of feeling so left out?
Are you desperate to find something more?
Before your life is over
Are you stuck inside a world you hate?
Are you sick of everyone around?
With their big fake smiles and stupid lies
While deep inside you're bleeding
No you don't know what it's like
When nothing feels all right
You don't know what it's like
To be like me
To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life
No one ever lied straight to your face
No one ever stabbed you in the back
You might think I'm happy but I'm not gonna be okay
Everybody always gave you what you wanted
Never had to work it was always there
You don't know what it's like, what it's like
To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like (what it's like)
To be hurt
To feel lost
To be left out in the dark
To be kicked when you're down
To feel like you've been pushed around
To be on the edge of breaking down
And no one's there to save you
No you don't know what it's like
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life
Welcome to my life
Suddenly, a pillow hit the television. The television went off. Mikan lied on her bed while crying. "Arigato, Natsume. Arigato. I thought Hotaru, my mom and my dad are the only person who can understand me. Arigato, Natsume. You do understand what I feel. Now I know what's so special about you, more special than your looks. Arigato, Natsume."
Mikan went off to sleep with tear stains and her eyes were puffy.
A/N: So? How was it? Do you like it? I hope you'll like it. Anyway, I'm sorry for the Natsume's Jealousy if it took so long to update the chapter twenty-two. I'm thinking now about the final chapter. You know, how to end it. Again, I'm really sorry for my wrong grammars. Stay tune for the next episode!!!
Let's take a great SNEAK PEEK for our next episode.
EPISODE TWO: ANYTHING BUT ORDINARY
"Natsume is not so bad after all."
"I never care. And I never will."
"I'm sorry I won't do it again."
"Remember the words that I'm going to say to you, nerdy. You will never be able to be like us, to be a beautiful girl. You will remain as an ugly girl as what you look like now."
"Shut up! Everything that you're saying are all stupid lies! You don't know anything! You never really care about the inside of a person's heart! God created me this way! I believe in God! I have faith in him! And I know God has a reason behind it all!!!"
"I want to change. I want to be like anybody. I love myself but I'm still lacking something. I want to be anything but ordinary."
