"An Odd Love Story"

by: My Lovely Valentina

Summary: I didn't ask for it to be over, but then again, I didn't ask for it to begin. For that's the way it is with life, as some of the most beautiful days come completely by chance. But even the most beautiful days eventually have their own sunsets.


Prologue: A very disastrous Sakura?

"Ohmigosh! He's here!" I heard Sumire shout her lungs out. She was head-over-heels for that guy.

She even told us that she'll do whatever it takes just to be with him even jumping off a cliff! Then, if she jumps, she'll die, right? Then how can she be with him?

I don't know why girls are so in love with that awful person. Well, it's true that Natsume's my friend but there is also a part of him that I hate. He's rude, mean and selfish. He's also arrogant, nasty and on top of that, he's a BIG MEAN PERVERT!

"If you have that many reasons to hate him, then what part of him do you like?"

Well, he's considerate sometimes. He's sweet and he values those which are important to him.

"I see. So you do like him?"

Of course I like him! I like him as a friend!

"Not more than that?"

Well, if you mea--, wait. Why is someone answering my thoughts?!

"HOTARU! KOKO! STOP READING MY MIND!" They're really mean! They don't respect others' privacy!

"This thing is really worth the bucks." Hotaru said, showing off her malefic smile on her face.

The group are already 16-year olds with hormones ramping its rights and puberty taking its toll. Well, not for Little Miss Mikan. She has to endure those mocking and teasing about her childish attitude and body especially by the one who loves taunting her, Hyuuga Natsume.

Natsume and Mikan have been enemies since they're 11 and at the same time, friends. But their friendly relationship don't seem to exist except for one fact that keeps it living: They don't hurt each other.

Many doubt that there is friendship growing between them since they keep arguing. Fan girls hate Mikan for being so close and clingy to Natsume which lessens the percent of their chances of him falling in love with them. In their dreams, alright.

But there are a few people who were witnesses of their unusual friendship. They also began to doubt that the growing seed between them is friendship. And they begin to think that it was something else, something much more unexpected. But that thought began to diminish as another thought passed by. A person who doesn't know how to love, and a person who don't know anything about love, as lovers? Is absolutely impossible.

"You're so mean Hotaru, you're buying those stuff just to make fun of me!" Mikan said as she wailed.

"Shut up, stupid. I didn't pay a thousand dollars just to amuse that stupid little brain of yours. I bought this thing for money. This thing is good for business and business is starting now." As usual, Hotaru has this stoic expression which disables everyone to guess what she feels.

"HOTARU! YOU'RE SUCH A BIG MEANIE! I THOUGHT YOU'RE MY BESTFRIEND! WHAT ABOUT FOREVER?!" Mikan cried out.

"There's no forever, idiot. All of us are going to die." Hotaru said as she rolled her eyes.

"That's where you're wrong, Hotaru. I'm sure that we have a second life waiting for us and let's die together so that we'll not be apart!" Mikan grinned.

"What an idiot."

Hotaru walked out leaving Mikan and her pudden-head daydreams.

"What a disgusting move, Mikan-chan. Hahahaha. That was funny, though. See you later!" Koko was laughing out loud as he left.

'I wasn't even trying to make everyone laugh. Oh well!' Mikan thought as she shrugged.

Mikan was walking in the halls grumbling about her idiocy. She regrets being stupid and all but that's her best aspect so far.

'God might have placed the wrong recipe on me.' She thought.

One thing she didn't know, she was one of the best. She has still yet to discover what's best inside of her and a person who knows how precious she is.


"Shouldn't you be in class, Miss Sakura?"

Uh-oh. Terrible Jinno caught her again. She wasn't paying attention to the bell, that's why she's still not on class.

"The bell didn't ring yet. Jin-jin, I think you're getting old." Mikan said as she pitied Jinno. That was exactly the very last move she should make. Poor Mikan, when will you ever learn?

"SAKURA! THE BELL DID RING 15 minutes AGO! DETENTION AFTER CLASS!"

"What?! Aw, Jin-jin! Please spare me on this one! I'm so sorry!" Mikan was wailing and begging at him but her efforts just came to a loss. For Jinno is the most stone-hearted teacher she ever met.

Detention came and as usual, she worsened her situation. In detention, they were given a task to shut up and just sit on their chairs. Mikan, on the other hand, won't stop on talking until it gave the teacher a headache.

Mikan was quite relieved that she wasn't given another trip to detention but a trip on the cleaners. The detention proctor can't handle her in class that's why she was given another punishment. She was supposed to clean off the leaves on the grass but instead, she made a house for the animals which are made of leaves!

What a very troublesome lass.

The teachers can't deal with her anymore that's why the they've decided the very least choice they should have made.

"Let's leave it to Hyuuga." Misaki-sensei offered.

"Oh, yeah, he's her partner, isn't he? Let's let him deal with her. And I also heard that there's something going on between them." another teacher said.

"One thing I know is going on is that air filling Sakura's brain. She's a nut-head!"

"Calm down, Kira-chan. I know that you can't handle her talkative side but she's just a child! You don't have to talk to my student that way." Narumi said.

"What child?! For goodness sake! She's sixteen!" Kira was a new teacher at school and it was her first to encounter a student like Mikan.

"She's just innocent. You'll like her if you'll know her." Narumi defensed.

"I hope this plan will work. So what will we make Natsume do?" Kira asked.

"I know a very great plan." Narumi said as he laughed evilly.


Well, this is my very first fic. This is just the prologue and I might release the next at the end of the week. Hopefully, there's no many things to do in school except for the MIDTERMS. I know, I've exaggerated Mikan that much but there's a very good explanation. ^__^ Thanks for reading and please review!
