Misunderstood

By: manimefrances

A/n: This would be short, maybe 5 or 6 chapters only. Plus, the chapters are short. I planned to do it as a 1shot but I haven't finished the whole of it yet. I want to have it posted already and so, I've decided to cut the whole fic. But I do hope you'll enjoy it. Please review, then. But before you read, pardon for the way I've written this. Even me, I'm irritated. It's like a script or something. But I just thought it would be better to have things written in individual dialogues.

Part 1. New friend or deceiver?

Ayu: Oh, Mikan-chan, can you give me a tour around the campus?

Mikan: Oh, sure! You're new here and I won't want you getting lost. Tomodachi?

Ayu: Sure.

Mikan: …

Ayu: The Academy sure is big.

Mikan: Yeah, and you know it's really fun here. I was lucky to being able to enroll here. And… (Mikan continued her very long narration without noticing that Yuki was not anymore listening and the worst…)

Mikan: Nooo, Yuki-cha-aaaaaaan!

Ayu: Huh?

5…

4…

3…

2…

1…

Mikan: Ahhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!

Ayu: Mikan-chan!!!

Kick to the left, kick to the right, punch to the left, punch to the right, uppercut, punch on face…. rocket kick!!!!!!!!!

Ayu: 'A living stuffed bear?'

Mikan: Ahh… (birds around head)

Ayu: Mikan-chan, daijoubo? Gomen…

Mikan: It was not your fault. I was just so busy talking about anything that I didn't realize we reached the Northern Forest already.

Ayu: 'So, this is the Northern Forest. So many interes…'

Mikan: Ahh…

Ayu: Mikan-chan, hold on!

Mikan; No need. (sudden energy blow)

Mikan: Ya! Ya! Ya! (Mikan suddenly stood up acting like a karate master blowing punches and kicks to the air)

Ayu (with a sweat drop): 'Weird. Hehe…'

Mikan: Where's Bear? I'm ready. Ya! Ya-aa! (mikan's eyes twinkled like Mr. when its ready to attack)

Ayu: Hehe, Mikan-chan, back to your foot so quickly….

Mikan: Ya! Ya! Ya!

Ayu: but could we go now?

Mikan (smiling): Oh, gomen. You should be scared.

Ayu: 'What the?'

The next day…

Time: 8:15 AM (classes start at 8)

Door: BANG!

Mikan: I'm really very sorry again for being late. I promise not to be tardy anymore.

Teacher: As usual… I'm sorry but I think I've gotta follow Mr. Jinno's disciplinary mode.

Mikan: 'Noooo, Misaki-sensei…..!'

Teacher: Detention after class. Meet me at the greenhouse. Garden work on stack.

Mikan: Oh, ok. 'Yay! Love plants!'

Teacher (looking intently at her): And,…

Mikan: Huh?

Teacher: Nice new look.

Mikan: Huh?

Teacher: You look better with your hair down.

With that the Mikan's fellow classmates that weren't bothered by the sudden commotion as what they expected that it was again Mikan, turned and looked. They were getting their time answering their Biology test but after they heard sensei's comments then…

Boys' eyes turned into heart shapes.

Mikan: 'Huh! What about the sudden action?'

All 52 of her classmates looked…

A new Mikan?

A Mikan at age 13? A teen-aged… a mature Mikan? (Since Mikan wore her hair in pigtails, she always looked like a child… as what they say levels with her thinking.)

'She's…er… beautiful.' A pair of crimson eyes was glued to her face.

Mikan: Hehe… Didn't have time fixing my hair. Late.

Teacher: 15 minutes more.

With that, the students immediately recovered from the shock and focused hardly on the test.

Lunch time…

Ayu: 'That girl… She's…. I hate her!'

Mikan with the usual troupe… Hotaru, Iinchou, Ruka, Natsume, Youichi

Ayu: 'Oh my gosh! It's Natsume-kun! Yuki, calm down. Act normal… can't afford to get bad impressions from him. First impressions are always meant to be nice

Mikan: Oh, it's Yuki!

Mikan ran towards her… the others just followed but they walked instead

Mikan: I'm really sorry…. It was your first tour around and you deserved a nice one, but then I ruined it by scaring you off…. Though, we must be thankful Bear wasn't able to touch you.

Yuki: 'Why does she push things? Who said I'm scared?' (Ayu must be thankful that Koko isn't with the troupe now)

Hotaru: Typical idiot Mikan but I guess you need to give her a thank you.

Ayu: 'No way! Not gonna thank her… just after saying I was scared and getting the attention of our classmates just a while ago from Biology class from my beautiful face… but I need to do this, or else they might…. especially Natsume-kun will… Mikan, you'll pay for this for drowning me into shame.'

Ayu: Arigatou

Before Mikan could talk back, Natsume interfered.

Natsume: Tsk… Only idiots flock around with idiots. Be careful, you might be a better idiot than her. Baka-ne…. Let's go Ruka, Youichi

Youichi: Hags…

Mikan: Don't mind him… he's a sadistic cold arrogant bastard and might as well add, pervert…

With Ayu now alone, she's burning (not literally, of course)….

Seems that the heavens just crushed her between the earth

'Natsume-kun's first impressions for me? Very…. very cruel, he's so frank but hey, I'm not an idiot, that girl is. And all of this because of that Sakura? She'll pay.'

And one more thing, that girl just gave negative comments on her beloved. She doesn't care if they're true or not. That girl just commented Natsume in a bad way. Now, pay's double.

…

Ayu: Mikan-chan, why are you crying?

Mikan looked up. Her face really worn out.

Ayu: 'Yuck. Is she even female? Human? More like a monster…. uglier now that she's crying.'

Mikan: I've had all of it! Haaaaaaaaaaaaa

Ayu: 'I don't get it…. rumors say that she's only the girl who got too close to my Natsume-kun…. many girls are better than her. I'm better than her. And even Ruka. I really can't forgive her… stealing the 2 cuties in school.

Mikan: You see, you must be lucky you're a 2 star even you're new here… me? Been a no star since last year… such hard life. it's really unfair! And worst is, no one gets to put me in a special training cause our class adviser goes time traveling now and then.

Ayu: 'Hey! My Alice isn't weak and like yours that can only protect yourself from the effect of others Alices.. what a useless ability to focus for… and who'd wanna help you train garbage? But this might be the best time for payback, hahahaha my revenge!'

Ayu: Of course, I'll be glad to help.

Ayu was now smiling evilly herself (inwardly, of course)

Ayu: Anyway, not like I pity you just that you saved my fragile body from the attacks of that homicidal stuffed animal back there.

Mikan: When and where?

It was Friday. By afternoon after classes, the 2, Mikan and Ayu went on their (more likely, Mikan's) training trip onto the Northern forest. Weekends, have planned to stay there and go back home on Monday for the classes

On Ayu's room…

"Now, this body should be fine. Just use this next time, no time to make the plan full, she's waiting. Don't wanna get myself caught.

Ayu went out to a waiting Mikan with a pack. She with the girl she accounts as her rival are gonna be together for 2 whole days. Atonement should be fun. Things would be perfect.
