Then Mikan got guilty until it reached to the very point that she needs to be a martyr- just to save Luna and Natsume's relationship. She still have a soft heart you know!

What will happen when she decided to give up all her feelings just to make Natsume happy.?

Highschool.

A simple word that makes me happy.

A single word that makes me sad.

On that very part of my life, I felt rejected and left out.

On that very part of my life, I felt happy and the same time doomed.

On that very part of my life, I was heartbroken yet I was happy for him.

My name is Mikan Sakura. I am 13 years old. I have these brown locks of hair that are tied in twin ponytails. I have these hazel eyes that show sadness. Sadness because of love.

Since I was a child, I always think that all stories end up with the words 'And they live happily ever after.' I always believe all romance stories would end up like that. Just like fairytales, there are antagonists and the protagonists always win.

But now, I wonder. I am a heartbroken teenager. We are the main characters of our own stories right? How come mine doesn't end up good? Am I the antagonist in that case?

This is me. A cheerful, optimistic, clumsy, bubbly girl that found true love at the age of 13. I am also an idiotic, dense and stupid person that was heartbroken at the age of 13.

This is Mikan Sakura, and this is my first year of a heartbreaking life.

Chapter 1

Her auburn hair swayed with the wind. The cool breeze of an autumn night tickled her soft and smooth skin. Her white dress was as pure white as ever. Her feet seem to be frozen and couldn't move. There she was, standing in her small balcony, crying. Tears rolled down her rosy cheeks that fell to the cement.

She was waiting for her only love. Her only love that left her almost a year ago. The brunette didn't lose hope. She goes out to her terrace everyday just to wait for him. Just to wait for the raven who promised her that he'll be back.

"Cut!" A sudden loud voice was heard near her. The brunette wiped her crocodile tears and her lips curved into a smile.

"Was it good, Iinchou?" Her cheery and loud voice asked.

"Mikan! That was the best one I have seen so far! You did it perfectly!" He replied with a convincing voice and smile.

Mikan jumped for joy. "That was quite difficult for me to cry especially the only thing I was doing in that scene was standing."

Then Hotaru, Mikan's best friend came near to her. "That was terrible."

Her eyebrows twitched. "Mou! Iinchou just told me it was the best and you tell me it was terrible? Your standards seem to be too high, Hotaru!" Hotaru raised an eyebrow.

She stammered. "And-and, all you were doing for the whole time was standing and making me insecure. Oh God, she'll be mad."

"What I did helped you a lot for your information. I was joking about what I said a while ago. You have improved."

Mikan hugged Hotaru. "I knew it!"

"Oi. Stop chattering there! We need to do the next scene or else we wouldn't finish this by tomorrow!" An icy voice was heard.

The three looked down and saw the raven wearing a prince like cape. They are currently shooting in Natsume Hyuuga's mansion. The film they are making is for their project in Homeroom that will greatly affect their grades. So, they need to do their best.

A few people were found downstairs. Namely Sumire, Anna and Nonoko who were dressed as maids. Koko and Mochu who were costumed as horses. And Ruka who was costumed in a prince's one. Their only cameraman, Kitsumene was also present.

"Okay, next scene!" Yuu shouted.

The brunette continued to cry fake tears. But this was stopped when a tall gorgeous guy appeared on the roads; with him were two horses that ran fast.

She was delighted. She saw him while he was still from a far. Her feet ran down the stairs in a fast manner while there was this heavenly smile plastered on her beautiful face.

She reached the hallways of her mansion and made her pace faster. Until, Mikan met her three loyal maids who opened the big doors for her. She panted and sweat was clearly visible on her temples.

There she is on the front porch, waiting for him to reach there.

He appeared, running towards her. When they met, they immediately hugged each other. It was tight that made the girl feel his body heat. It took half a minute until the guy broke the hug.

His face near the girl's. Mikan turned red, like a tomato but Natsume just neared their faces more. Slowly and unknowingly, she placed her arms around his neck while he snaked his arms around her waist.

Their faces were centimeters apart and their noses touched each others. Natsume felt that she is trembling, due to her nervousness. He neared again until it reached to the point that one critical move, their lips will touch.

They didn't know that a blonde was watching not so far from them. He has these cerulean eyes that show jealousy and disappointment.

"CUT!" that voice again.

"Marvelous!" he screamed. "Okay, a few more scenes and we'll be done. Natsume and Mikan, you did well!"

She kept her head bowed low and her hands clasping. Seeing this, Natsume smirked. "But it would be better if our lips had touched and the best if the kiss was passionate."

Hearing that, Mikan blushed 50 times of red and their eyes widened in horror.

She was almost gonna erupt when Natsume said. "Cool down. I was just joking."

Mikan looked at him fiercely. "Oh yeah! You should be joking! You have a girlfriend, remember? Or maybe you forgot her due to the scene we had earlier. But how I wished it did continue.." She said mockingly.

Natsume gritted his teeth. "Of course I did-n't forget Luna."

"Okay okay, guys. See you tomorrow for the last scene. Remember that tomorrow will be the last so you should give your best to it. Okay? So now, you may go home and same place and time tomorrow!"

They all waved their hands to Yuu. Hotaru, Mikan and Ruka went home together. Sumire and Koko, Anna, Nonoko, Mochu and Kitsumene.

Yuu faced Natsume. "Thanks for the place Natsume. This mansion of yours made our film realistic. Thank you very much."

"No problem. And don't forget to tell Mikan that she shouldn't be trembling when my face nears hers. Once there is a conversation after that, her voice will be crackly I tell you. And, wait. Tell her she shouldn't blush or else it will be too obvious in the camera."

And with those words, Yuu chortled. "Of course I'll do. Good bye and good night!"

The students of Class 1b were going impatient. It is now their second subject yet there are still no signs for their Science teacher. They were seated properly on their individual chairs waiting for him. Until they chose to make noise just to break the boredom.

The group of boys stayed in one corner. They got their guitars and started playing. Some girls were also in a group, chit-chatting.

Our Mikan stayed on her seat. She was as obedient as ever and she chose to answer the assignments given to her earlier.

She hates noise even though she is quite noisy herself. The guitar sounds echoed throughout the room that made her pissed. She sighed and continued to her work.

Then someone neared her. His crimson eyes looking directly to her. Those crimson eyes that sends tingling sensation on her skin. She remained put and avoided the raven who was bringing a guitar.

Natsume stopped in front of her. Now, Mikan started to blush. She just kept her head bowed down so that nobody sees the redness of her cheeks.

Then he started to play.

See girl we used to be a team
Runnin the streets (yeah)
We was living out our dream (ohh)
You used to be my rider
I was your provider
Now we separated in two
Oh we was burning up the block(yeah)
And everybody know when we step in the spot(ohh)
See, we was like the dynamic duo
Id never thought that you'd go, but you did uh, yeah you did

Oh baby you left and sailed away alone (Yeah, alone)
And now you got me trapped up on this island
Where nowhere to get home

He stopped the song and looked at her with lovingly eyes.

"Mikan, will you be--,"

"WAKE UP!" Yuka Azumi, Mikan's mom shouted. She was downstairs preparing for breakfast.

Mikan got startled. "Jeez. It was just a dream."

"Coming mom!" She shouted angrily. Ooops. Hope my mom doesn't get mad at me for shouting.

She ran down the stairs fast. She was met by a middle aged woman who was crossing her arms. "You were shouting a while ago right?"

"I'm sorry. You just made me a bit mad, that's all" Mikan replied nervously.

"Hn. Go eat breakfast, take a shower and go to the mall. You need to buy these things." She commanded as she handed out a list.

She looked at it and said. "Sure mom."

Mikan had now reached the mall through riding a taxi. She was wearing a blue hoodie and black leggings. A beaded bracelet on her right hand a hand bag and watch on her left.

She walked in a fast manner towards the grocery store. Mikan finished her duty in less that half an hour. The brunette then looked at her watch and concluded. "Time check, 10: 26. Oh yeah! I still have an hour to spend here!" And with that, she went to her favorite place, Starbucks.

Mikan saw Starbucks not from a far. She ten walked towards that store and opened the glass doors. She ordered a slice of strawberry cake and a simple cup of coffee.

After ordering, she sighed. Seeing that the tables inside are full, Mikan went out, hoping there are any vacant seats. The brunette spotted one.

There, Mikan sat and started eating. She had eaten half of the cake when someone patted her back. "Excuse me Ms. Can we take the extra chairs and share the table with you?"

Mikan replied without minding looking at the person. "Sure."

The girl and the boy sat down in front of her. Her eyes widened in horror when she found out that the girl whom she shared with is Luna Koizumi, Natsume's girlfriend and with her is Natsume.

"Oi. Polka never thought for all the people in this world you are the person we are sharing a table. Coincidence?"

Mikan rolled her hazel eyes. "I got this table first."

"Uh, Mikan. We know you got this table first but you shouldn't act like you own the table. Okey?"

"Shut up Luna. I'm sorry." The brunette simply replied mockingly.

Luna forced a fake smile. "How plastic."

"Luna, take this." Natsume commanded her. Her lips then curved into a flirty smile. She took a bite of the chocolate cake and left some chocolate near her lips. "Umm. Natsume, would you take this chocolate off of my lips? Hah! Bet you are now jealous Mikan!"

The brunette sneered in disgust. "Eww. What a slut at the age of 13. I admit, I'm quite jealous though. Urgh"

Natsume saw Mikan's reaction and smirked. Oh, how he loves making her piss. How he loves seeing her in a bad moon and sometimes seeing her jealous. He also likes Mikan, like a small crush but he loves Luna.

Luna is the same age as Mikan and Natsume too. She is thirteen years old except that she isn't in the same class as her boyfriend. She is in Class 1a.

"Sure." He replied with that trademark smirk on his gorgeous face. He made his and Luna's face near and his tongue visible. Mikan was so disgusted that she wants to vomit seeing Natsume lick the chocolate in front of her very own hazel eyes. She was quite jealous but more disgusted at the same time too.

Luna was grinning. She thought that Mikan is so jealous, but she is right. What a slut!

Then Natsume was ready to lick that chocolate off her mouth when…
