Chapter one: The Results, and The Hyuuga's.

Mikan sat in the hospital room, waiting for the doctor to bring in the results. I sighed and decided to call Hotaru.

"Hello? Mikan, is something wrong?" Hotaru asks. i heard Ruka-Pyon in the background asking who she was talking to.

"Nah, I got bored waiting on the doctor. What are you doing?" i ask.

"Hanging out with Ruka-Pyon. Your still waiting?" she says/asks.

"Yeah... i think the doctor is coming. I'll talk to you later. bye-bye!" i say hanging up just as the doctor walks in.

"Mikan... I'm very sorry. We cannot treat that kind of cancer... At the very least, you should go spend the rest of your time with family and friends. you can leave the hospital now." she says.

i stared at the paper and nodded. "Thank you, for all your help." I say, getting up and leaving the hospital.

"How the hell... am I... supposed to tell Hotaru... and everyone else?" I ask, to no one in particular.

((THE NEXT DAY!))

I got up out of bed, with every intention of skipping school. I couldn't face all of my friends... I got a shower, put on my uniform, ate some cereal, grabbed my purse and book bag, locked the door, and left. I stopped at the cafe and got a coffee to take with me.

"Hey Hotaru! Anna! Nonoko! Permy! Koko! Ruka-pyon!" I yell waving. "MIKAN! HURRY!" Permy yells.

"What happened?" I ask. "We found your result envelope, in the cemetery. Why was it there? How long do you have left?" Hotaru and all them bombarded me with questions on the way to class.

"I went to the cemetery so I wouldn't be bothered, must have dropped it on my way out. not very long... Doctor said I have a year at best. I think a year is long enough for me.
