First Story :D Please be nice, with criticism.

Mikan's POV

"You're moving?" One of my best friends, Sumire, repeated in my face. I, Mikan Sakura, was moving to go live with my 19 year old cousin, Ruka. It doesn't seem appropriate for a 17 year old to do so, but he is the only other family I have. The reason why is, my parents disappeared. Like, not dying, but disappeared. They just didn't come home for a few months after a business trip. So, Sumire's mom said it would be best for me to go live with someone who can take care of me.

I would've went and lived with Sumire, but her family lives in a two bedroom apartment. While my other friends Anna and Nonoko, they're twins, have family problems.

"It won't be a problem." I gave her my winning smile. She looked at me like I just said I was Abe Lincoln.

"You're going to be all the way across the country!" She wailed, shaking me. Oops, forgot to mention that.

"Maybe telling you on the day I was moving, wasn't such a great idea..." I trailed off. Surmire gave me her famous frustrated look. The one she gives all the guys in our glass when they are being idiots.

"You think!?" She screeched. Sometimes I wonder how we became friends.

That's when a car pulled up and a blond haired man with beautiful azure eyes came out. He was wearing a white polo, light blue jeans, and white tennis shoes. I instantly recognized him. I haven't seen him in person since the Christmas party a few years back. I'm surprised with how much he has grown!

"Hi Ruka-pyon!" I waved at him, and smiled. Sumire looked dumb-struck, and then hearts filled her eyes.

"He is so dreamy!" Whoa, I didn't see that coming, well, Ruka is pretty popular with the ladies. I shouldn't have been surprised with Sumire.

"That's my cousin your talking about." I glared at her. She shrugged, and went back into dream mode. I sighed, already knowing I'm going to lose this argument.

"Mikan! How is my favorite cousin!" He grinned, once he got over to us.

"I'm doing fine!" I sang, and Sumire gestured me to introduce her. I rolled my eyes at her.

"This is my friend Sumire." I pointed to her, and she waved a little. Ruka held out his hand.

"I'm Ruka, Mikan's cousin! It's a pleasure to meet you." Sumire took his hand, and shook it. By the looks of it, she almost fainted.

"Well, I'm sorry for taking Mikan away from you, I'm sure you'll be able to see each other again, but you know the circumstances." Ruka apologized to Sumire. Sumire shook her head.

"No problem, I'll live." I glared at her. Here she was, moments ago, practically saying she would die without me, now shes kicking me to the curb? What kind of friend is she? She rose a eyebrow at my expression.

"Well Mikan, pile your stuff in the trunk, and hop in the backseat." Ruka said, and started to walk back towards his car. This is my time to say my final goodbye to my friend.

"Call me everyday!" Sumire demanded, and I gave her a smile. Then we hugged, and I couldn't help but tear up.

"I don't wanna leave!" I cried out, while she just patted my back. A few moments later, a car horn beeped, and I let go of Sumire.

"I guess this is goodbye." I said, she just gestured for me to go. Her eyes glistened, and I knew she was holding her emotions inside, not wanting to worry me. Waving one last time, I picked up my bags, and ran towards Ruka's car. Throwing my bags in the trunk, I ran around and hopped in. Then buckled up. I turned as far as I could around, and looked back out at Sumire. She was smiling lightly, and gave me another wave.

"Mikan, I hope you're going to like your new home." Ruka said, and started to drive. I gave Sumire a thumbs up, and turned back around.

"Don't worry Ruka-pyon! I'm sure I will~" I chirped. That's when I took notice to the red-eyed guy glaring at me in the passenger seat. He had red cat like eyes, and raven black hair. His clothes were exactly like Ruka's but he was wearing black jeans instead of light blue.

"What's your problem?" I asked him. The guy just kept glaring at me.

"Oh, sorry Mikan, I forgot to mention, this is my roommate and best friend, Natsume!"

So this is the other guy I'm living with.

"He seems nice." I muttered. This guys gaze is starting to creep me out.

"He is only cranky because when I honked the horn, I woke him up." Ruka laughed nervously.

"Yeah, if you weren't crying about leaving like a little baby, we could have been on our way by now." Natsume bluntly replied.

I glared back at him. Now I'm sure we are not going to get along.

"Well, if you could stay awake while driving here, you wouldn't have been woken up." I was getting irritated.

"Well polka dots, you should be more nice to me, since we are going to be living together."

Polka dots...?

…

…

…

OH HELL NO.

"Why you!-"

"Mikan, Natsume, can you guys please stop fighting, I'm trying to drive." He smiled nervously at us from the front. Same old Ruka, staying calm in any situation.

"Fine." I leaned back in my seat.

"Whatever." Natsume turned back around and started to read the manga that was on top of the dashboard.

"So Mikan, you want McDonald's?" Ruka asked, breaking the moments silent. I nodded happily.

"Yes!"

"Oh great, shes going to turn into a whale." Natsume rolled his eyes. I glared at him. Doesn't he know you should never call a girl fat? That is like the worst thing you can do to a girl! How rude! I will not stand for this!

"You damn nasty fox! I will not!"

"If you keep eating this junk, you're going to have a heart attack."

"You know!-" I stopped when I saw Ruka grip the steering wheel tighter. Maybe I shouldn't fight with his friend. To keep Ruka happy, I'll just ignore Natsume. For now.

I leaned back again, and crossed my arms. Natsume just smirked at his victory.

It's on.

I think I did pretty good! Hope you all like it~
