Title of Song: One of the Boys
Sung by: Katy Perry
Summary Hotaru is a tomboy...and hates it. When she goes to look for help to become 'girly', who does she come to? Songfic. Warning: has a bit of OOC and AU. Oneshot
Man! It's been too long since I wrote last. I promised myself that during spring break, which wasn't that long ago, that I'd get work done. But then suddenly I get sick. Freaking lovely. Anyway, this is going to be my first ever songfic AND oneshot! Hooray~ Anyway, I promise that I would get a LOT work done by this week (Since we have testing, and fortunetly get half days) So expect more Gakuen Alice chapters coming up!
Next thing that has to relate with Gakuen Alice... My friends and I are going to roleplay as the characters of good ol' GA! We don't really have all the characters yet, but I can tell you that I'm going to be the bubbly Mikan Sakura. :D
Anyway, enjoy!

One of The Boys
Hotaru's P.O.V.
I saw a spider
And I didn't scream
Another boring day in class, I thought. I placed my right hand on my cheek and rested my head a bit. Narumi was going on and on about an event that wasn't going to be happening for another month or so. I looked behind me to see Mikan Sakura, my one and only best friend, looking totally interested.
Tch, I envy her so much.
All the guys like her, pretty much. She's pretty and girly, yet she's not smart at all. I wonder why she's even best friends with me, tomboyish Hotaru Imai.
I felt my eyes drooping down, as if I was going to fall asleep.
Dang, I shouldn't have pulled another all-nighter again. But then again, those guys were just begging to get an virtual butt kicking in that game.
My desk suddenly invited me to fall asleep on it. It was so tempting. Right before I laid my head peacefully on the desk, I heard a blood curdling scream. I quickly turned around to Mikan, recognizing that the voice was hers.
"There's a spider!" She screamed out, and all of the population of girls in the class screamed alongside her. Except me, of course.
"Tch." I groaned, getting up and picking up the frightened spider. I opened up a window and gently set it down.
"Wow, Hotaru! You're so brave!" Mikan came up behind me, cheerfully smiling. I looked downward onto the floor.
"Yeah…"
Why the hell was I just envying her…
Cause I can belch the alphabet
Just Double Dog Dare Me
"Hotaru, I bet you can't burp the alphabet!" Mochiage, one of my guy classmates came up to me. I clicked my tongue loud enough for him to hear.
"Double dog dare me." I hissed.
"I double dog dare you to burp the alphabet." He dared me, handing me a soda. I drank the whole entire can in one gulp and burped the alphabet A-Z. When I was finished, everyone became astonished and cheered. I looked over to see Ruka Nogi and Mikan happily chatting with one another. My envious feeling came back.
And I chose guitar
Over Ballet
"I'm off to ballet!" Mikan cheered, waving her farewell to the class. I got up and left right after her.
"Where are you going Hotaru?"
"Guitar Class." I answered, being replied with 'oohs'.
And I take (tape) these suckers down
Because they
Get in my way!
"Get out of my way." I growled.
"You get out of ours." A bunch of older guys suddenly approached me. I just brushed past them and kept walking. I heard them mutter some insult to me.
"What did you say?"I growled even louder, beating them all up. After I was done teaching them a lesson, I walked away coolly.
The way you look at me,
Is kind of like a little sister
Rubbed by your goodbyes
And it leaves me
Nothing but blisters
"Ruka-Pyon." The next day I saw my blonde haired crush with his bunny in his hands. He smiled.
"What's up Hotaru?" He laughed. His eyes were soft… but not the romantic kind of soft. Its almost as if I was a little sister to him. Suddenly a sweet voice called for Ruka. Mikan called for Ruka. "Sorry, I have to go." He smiled once more, walking towards the sweet voice.
My heart never felt hurt before. It wasn't Mikan's fault. It was mine. It was my own fault for hurting my whole self like this. I have to do something. My heart is hurting from these self-made blisters.
So I don't want to be
One of the Boys
One of your guys
Just give me a chance
To prove to you tonight
That I just want to be
One of the Girls
Pretty in Pearls
Not one of the Boys
"Mikan!" I called out to my brunette best friend. She turned around and gave me her usual goofy smile.
"Yes Hotaru?" She answered.
"Turn me into a girl. Help me become 'girly'." I begged her. She was silent for a long time.
"Okay!" She smiled, taking off her necklace. She put her pearl necklace around my neck.
"Huh?" I mumbled.
"Wow, you're so pretty in pearls! Come by my house tonight, I'll help you." She smiled, waving me goodbye.
So over the summer
Something changed
I started reading 17
And shaving my legs
And I study Lolita religiously
That night, which was the last day of school. I walked to Mikan's house. She greeted me by grabbing my arm and pulling me up to her room.
She showed me this sort of magazine called '17'. I actually became interested and started to read it a lot. Eventually, she showed me how to shave my legs. (She Demonstrated it without actually doing it.) The first time I did it by myself, my legs were terribly cut up and bled. My mom became really worried about me once she saw my wounds. But after she saw the shaving cream and razor in my hand she muttered,
"My little girl is growing up."
And I walked right into school
And caught you staring at me
Finally, school began, and I couldn't wait to show Ruka how much I changed over the summer. I walked courageously into class. My hair grew longer, it was actually down to my shoulders. My legs were sparkling clean from hair, so there was no need to wear high socks anymore. My nails were colorfully decorated with nail polish. My lips had a color that screamed 'Kiss Me'. My eyes had a light pinkish color towards it. Everyone was staring at me, and Mikan smiled softly to me.
I caught everyone's attention, including Ruka's. I smiled, and sat down in my seat.
Cause I know
What you know
But now you're
Gonna have
To take a number
It's OK maybe one day,
But not until you give me
My
Diamond Ring
So I don't want to be
One of the Boys
One of your guys
Just give me a chance
To prove to you tonight
That I just want to be
Your homecoming queen
Pinup poster dream
Not one of the boys
Ruka stopped me in the hallway one day.
"You changed a lot during the summer." He smiled.
"Yeah." I softly whispered.
"Why?" He asked.
"What?"
"Why did you change so drastically?"
"I want to be a flower, not a dirty weed." I answered him, walking away.
And I want to smell like roses
Not a baseball team
And I swear
Maybe one day
Your gonna
Want to make out,
Make out,
Make out with me
Ruka chased after me and planted a kiss on my lips. I blushed madly. His face, too, had many different shades of red plastered on it.
"A-Ah… Sorry!" He yelled out and ran away in the opposite direction. I softly touched my lips and smiled.
Don't want to be
Don't want to be
Don't want to be
Don't want to be
Don't want to be
So I don't want to be
One of the Boys
One of your guys
Just give me a chance
To prove to you tonight
That I just want to be
One of the Girls
Pretty in pearls
Not one of the boys
"I'm returning this." I softly murmured to Mikan. I handed her a beautiful pearl necklace.
"Huh?" She asked a bit, looking curiously at the necklace.
"I look pretty in pearls, I know. But, I don't need it anymore. So, here." I smiled the softest smile I ever gave in my life.
"Thanks Hotaru…" She became a lost at words.
"Hey, Polka! We're going." A husky voice called out Mikan. I assumed it was Natsume Hyuuga's. And right on cue, he came out of the classroom.
"Oh right!" She exclaimed, taking one of Natsume's arms. Right before she was about to leave, "Bye Hotaru! I love you!" She smiled a graceful smile that I can't even pull off.
"Bye, idiot." My cold attitude came back, yet I smiled. Mikan walked off, arm and arm with the Hyuuga kid.
Even after all of this, I still envy her. I thought to myself, smiling faintly. I walked outside to find Ruka sitting against a tree. I walked over and sat myself right next to him, my stupid smile still plastered onto my face.
Phew! It's done! I did this about an hour or so, and I just recently heard the song. Anyway, for my first songfic, I think I did pretty good! Anyway, I think you saw the two obvious couples in the end. Mikan and Natsume, Ruka and Hotaru. Juuust pointing it out... Anyway, I'm so motivated to write now! Woo!
Oh, I have to mention about the lyrics. I got them off of videos from Youtube. And some people debated whether she said 'Take' or 'Tape' in the line 'And I take/tape these suckers down'. Well, since I only heard the song a while ago, I'm not really sure what the lyric actually is. Sooo I put both 'Take' and 'Tape' in it, just to be safe. At some points, I put 'Want to' instead of 'Wanna', because my computer is stupid, and I don't feel like correcting myself everytime I put 'Wanna'. So instead, I just put 'Want to'. Just clearing all that up.
