Hey, Guys! It's me again.

I'm writing another MikanxNatsume story.

And, now, it's not a Oneshot! YAY!

Enjoy!

Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Gakuen Alice. I also based some parts of this story in a book called "Five Days in Palawan''. Now, I feel sober for not owning those. T^T. :))

Natsume's POV

Huh. What the heck. I thought something was gonna change.

I could see lots of girls in their bikinis that try to flirt with me. They flaunt their hair towards me, or wink at me. They look at me as if I'm the biggest thing here. Tch. Whatever. They're jsut pesky flirts. They annoy me. With just one wink from my eye, they'd all fall for 're all so ordinary for me. They just want me to have a good time with them in bed, or maybe just use me for my money. They're all users. Damn them. I'm the same, for all I care. I looked around with boring eyes. Girls. Girls. Girls. And jealous boyfriends. They all make me remember of Luna. That pesky ex-girlfriend used me. I hate being honest, but... That was the first girl I ever got serious with. I thought she was serious with me,too, but I thought wrong. She used me for my freaking money.

That's why I'm here in California. It's not to enjoy. It's to get that ex-girlfriend of mine back. I'm such an idiot.

Flashback

I toyed with the shot glass I was holding. The bar was jam-packed tonight. Tch. The hell I care. I was with my bestfriend, Ruka. We were getting wasted for all I care. We had our reasons.

"Natsume," Ruka started to speak, his tone still organized and composed. Liquor doesn't affect him that much. "How about going to California this weekend and get someone to pose as your girlfriend? Luna's coming to Cali on Monday, right? You could make her jealous and get her back."

That was idiotic and stupid. Tch. Like I'd ever try that. "Idiot." I put my shot glass carefully on the counter. "I'm going back."

I walked towards the door with a smile on my face. I was an idiot to follow his suggestion.

End of Flashback

Nothing was entertaining here in California. Tch. New York was so much busier. Sunny, sunny California. I only cared for what I wanted, not your beauty, California.

Mikan's POV.

"Mikan!"

"Oh, I'm coming!" I screeched at the top of my voice. I ushered the guests to a table and took the plates from the tables which are already empty. I'm working part-time here in the Maid Cafe of La Verde Resort. I also work in the hotel as one of the hotel personnel. I help carry the bags. Most of the people there tell me I shouldn't do so, but I'm strong. I can handle that. I need money to support my College studies. Mom and I lived in California ever since I was born, so I had to also end my studies here. Dad stays in New York to work, so he rarely comes home. He also sends money every other month, which fits only for all our bills. We're kind of short on money, so I can't really afford College if I wasn't working.

"Mikan, could you take my place first? I need to serve other guests. We're jam-packed!" Nonoko said, her tone slightly rising. She was in a cheerful mood. The cafe had lots of people today. Actually, She owns this cafe, but she would also like to work as a Maid. Her mom is the main manager of this cafe. I just nodded at her and began taking the orders of other guests.

"You can go now, Mikan. It's the end of your shift." Nonoko smiled at me. She was very kind to anyone, even the guests. So, I wouldn't doubt why a lot of guests are her fans. I gave her a big hug.

"Thanks, Nonoko. I owe you a lot!" I waved at her and ran to the nearest hotel in this resort, La Verde Hotel. It was almost time for my shift in the hotel.

"Room 646, Mikan." The receptionist, Misaki, told me. She winked at me, which she does often to signal me that I was just in time. I shot her a sweet smile. "This way, please." I told the guests. I lead them to the nearest elevator and used a pick-up tray to carry their bags. I was escorting a family. There was a little boy who was looking at me. I lowered my head to see his face and patted his head. I smiled at him. He was so cute.

In return, the little boy pinched me. "Big sis," he said. I smiled at him and got up. The elevator door opened just in time. Phew. Another busy three hours.

Natsume's POV

It was almost eight o'clock in the evening and I still haven't found my poser. No one was worthy. I walked towards the dining area of the hotel. At least, maybe, I'd get a girl here. I ordered a Strawberry filled Chocolate cake. The waiters let me sit at a golden chair and a table. Of course, I sat down. I felt a vibrating thing on my pocket. My phone.

"What?" I told the speaker nonchalantly. I heard a laugh at the other end. Ruka.

"Hey, dude." He greeted with his mostly-cheerful tone. "Fished out a girl yet?"

"Nah. They're all flirts."

"Not all, though." That response made me stop. Since when did Ruka take a liking on girls?

"You're falling in love, aren't you?"

"N-no! That's not it, Natsume. I'm hanging up." Precisely what I predicted. Ruka never hangs up on me whenever he denies something which isn't true. He's too honest.

I tapped my foot impatiently. I was making a lot of noise out of it, but I don't really care. Everyone was staring, even the guys.

A brunette waitress was fast approaching me. She served my cake with graceful hands. When I looked at her, I was surprised. She wasn't even flirting with me. She seemed too cheerful and serious with her work.

"Here you go, Sir." I heard her high-pitched voice delicately reach my ears. Perfect.

"Hey." I called out to her nonchalantly.

She looked back, but looked puzzled.

"Damn. Here, idiot."

She now looked at me.

"Come here." I motioned her using my finger. Somehow, this felt like she was my prey.

"What's your name?"

She seemed hesitant at first. "Mikan, sir."

"Drop the 'sir'. How old are you?"

" Eighteen? " She sounded so unsure. I chuckled.

"Mikan, You'll be my girlfriend."

Hope you enjoyed the first chapter!

I hope I can still update, but it's almost 12am and my eyes are giving up on me. D:. My eyes are still sick.

Reviews, please? Pretty Please? :)
