Chapter 1

.

.

Hotaru Imai was annoyed when she left the class of Narumi.

She couldn't believe what did Narumi assigned to her.

Although unbelievable things were already expected from Narumi, Hotaru never felt this uneasy in everything that Narumi assigned to her. Well, except this one.

"I choose you as the partner of Ruka Nogi." Narumi smiled at her, "for the entire school year."

At first, she couldn't believe what did her Sensei said to her, but when Narumi called Ruka, she felt the urge to shoot Narumi with her baka gun.

At least I could get some decent picture of him for me to sell.

After all, she might thank Narumi for assigning Ruka as her partner throughout the year.

Ruka Nogi.

She smirked evilly at the name.

You will regret of being my partner, bunny boy.

Students went out of her way when they noticed the eerie smile on the Ice Queen's face as she passed by them.

No human will try to get in the way of the Ice Queen.

Well, except for her best friend.

As soon as Hotaru went inside the classroom of Misaki, Mikan Sakura ran towards her with a big smile on her face.

"Is that true?" Mikan paused, glancing around the classroom, "that Ruka Nogi is your partner for the whole year?" she whispered, although it was still quite loud for the others to hear. Hotaru frowned.

Gossips do fly around here so fast. "Yes," Hotaru replied, making her way to her seat at the back of the room.

Mikan looked at her strangely. "We are not sitting there." Mikan said, noticing the glares from the other girls inside the room. "A guy named Nattie," she stifled a laugh when she mentioned the name, "and his friends somehow owned that place. So, we're not sitting there." Mikan scoffed when Hotaru raised an eyebrow at her. "For your information, my dearest Hotaru, the last one who sat there ended up in the hospital." Mikan added, clutching on Hotaru's arm tightly.

A group of blonde girls approached them. "Hey, could you move your butts? The two of you are blocking the way," the girl in the center said, while her posse of fake Barbie dolls laughs behind her.

Hotaru raised an elegant eyebrow at the girl. "FYI, I'm Luna Koizumi, the daughter of the principal. So, move your

ugly faces before I report the two of you." Mikan gaped at what Luna had said. She took a glance at Hotaru, who

was staring at Luna.

Oh. She better not piss off Hotaru.

Mikan thought gravely, although maybe the outcome may be enjoyable for her.

Luna glared at the two of them, "You two will not really move your ugly faces—"

"Bimbo." Hotaru said as Mikan tried not to smile triumphantly. After all, Hotaru could win this fight without making an effort. "What did you say?" Luna asked darkly, making Mikan flinched in the process. "You're not just a bimbo, but a deaf also." With that, Hotaru and Mikan made their way to the seat that Mikan saved for the two of them.

"Hotaru Imai. You cannot walk away from the Queen of this School. I will make you suffer. Remember that."

Mikan looked at Luna, who was smiling evilly at their direction. She looked at Hotaru, who was now minding her own business. "Don't you want to throw back some insults at her?" she asked, hoping that Hotaru will. Hotaru smirked at her. "Someone will." And with that, another student broke the silence inside the classroom. "Just stating the fact, Imai-san already walked away from you." The new comer said, "And you're the one blocking the way, bitch." Now that was something that made Mikan looks back at Hotaru. "Who is she?" Mikan asked, quite amazed by the guts of the new girl. "Sumire Shouda, she was once the 'Queen' of this school," Hotaru said nonchalantly as she took out a book, a notebook and a pen.

Mikan looked back at the girl named Sumire, who was making her way to their seats. At five feet and two inches, Sumire looked like a model. With her weird perm hair, and her taste in fashion, you would really think that she is a model and a Hollywood actress. She gave Mikan her own scrutinizing look. "Not bad for a friend, Imai-san." She said, towering Mikan for a good 2 inches. "I'm Sumire Shouda. Luna hates me. And the feeling is mutual." She added as Mikan stared at her blankly. "It's pretty obvious. I'm Mikan Sakura. Nice meeting you, Shouda-san." Mikan greeted warmly, glancing back at Luna, who was glaring at their direction.

Sumire glance back at Hotaru. "I'll take it that your friend is new here?" It was Mikan who replied back. "Yes. And I was glad that most of the classes matched Hotaru's." Their conversation was cut off when almost all of the students inside and outside the classroom began to yell, shout, and cheer. Mikan watched as 4 guys entered the classroom, with the raven haired lad leading them.

Talk about F4.

She thought as Luna approach the new comers.

"I bet they will gonna kick her ass out," Mikan blurted out before she could even stop herself.

Sumire looked at Mikan, giving her an amused look and said," I like this friend of yours, Hotaru." The three of them watched as Luna gave the raven haired lad a smack on the lips.

"EW!" All of them, even Hotaru and Sumire, turned to look at Mikan, who looked like she wanted to puke right now in front of Luna and the others. "Why would you like to exchange saliva with that ugly witch? That is so disgusting." Mikan made a face, and realized that she just said what she's been thinking.

"Oh my God, Mikan. How stupid can you be?" It was Sumire who whispered this. And like a Knight in shining armor, a one of the new comers, a boy with a sandy blonde hair laughs out Loud. "I really agree with you!" and then another boy joined him.

"You're just jealous, Mikan Sakura." Luna sneered at Mikan, who glared in return.

"Today's the first day of class, and the four of you were already starting a commotion." It was Misaki, their Biology

teacher. "And I guess you already know Miss Sakura the new student." He paused to look at Mikan, "Return to

your seats." The students followed his order all at once.

Mikan leaned closer to Sumire, and then ask, "So, who's Ruka Nogi?"

Sumire glanced at the back and then replied in a hush tone, "The guy with the blonde hair and blue eyes."

Mikan looked back and saw the so called Ruka Nogi smiling at their direction, which made her, looked away immediately. She then leaned closer to Hotaru, "You didn't tell me that Ruka Nogi, your partner, is handsome." Mikan smiled sheepishly at Hotaru.

Hotaru smiled at her in return, that sent shivers down to her spine.

It's been a while since Hotaru smiled like that.

Mikan thought, trying her best to push all the negativity away.

After all, Hotaru gave her a wicked smile.
