I couldn't believe it! How could my peaceful, pleasant, day go to a sad, shocking one?
Flashback
"Sakura Mikan, Class 1B please report to my office." announced my Uncle a.k.a the high school principal a.k.a Sakura Kazu.
I wondered what he wanted me for, so I excused myself from my homeroom teacher, Narumi-sensei a.k.a my un-biological father, and gave a nod to Hotaru, my black-mailing best friend, whilst passing her signalling I was leaving the classroom and made my way to Kazu Uncle's office.
I knocked twice before I heard him say, "Enter".
I opened the heavy oak door and glanced around the room. Shock was the first emotion to hit me, not because of how messy his office was, because it had always been like that; papers scattered everywhere, coffee stains on the table, rubbish on the floor. I had insisted that he hire a secretary but no, he was too adamant on being independent; which he clearly was not. He always asked me to clean his office once in a while, at lunchtime, as if I'm his maid. But what shocked me was my father, Sakura Izumi, stood there next to my uncle with this mysterious glint in his eyes, a big grin on his childish face. But what told me that he was up to no good was him playing with his hair, he had this habit of playing with his hair whenever he did something wrong, but of course in his opinion it was always right.
I took a big gulp before proceeding towards them both, after closing the door and sat on the chair in front of Kazu Uncle's desk. I swayed my legs to keep me occupied and not think too much of the situation and raised one of my eyebrows, silently asking what was the reason of them calling me here.
"Mikan, my brothers here to talk to you, sorry for calling you out of class." said Kazu Uncle. It was nothing new, me being called to the principal's office but never had my dad been here before. Normally he would wait till I come home to deliver the news, but I guess it was important, seeing as he came to school, and probably cancelled lots of meetings. He always had meetings booked, after all he was one of the most richest and successful businessman in Japan.
I moved my gaze towards my father, whose grin had stretched further than before, which freaked me out.
"Now Mikan, don't look at me like I'm a freak. It makes oyaji sad." he cried, fake waterfalls dripping out of his eyes. I stared at him, telling him he was a freak, I mean who refers to themselves in a third-person. Obviously he does! And he changed from one mood to another in a matter of 5 seconds! Could he be anymore bi-polar!
"Mikaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan," he wailed, I ignored it and turned to my uncle," Can you tell him to cut it out and tell me what he wants to," I asked my uncle who was looking at my dad with a same expression as me. Kazu Uncle was one of the few people who could tame my fathers behaviour. Unfortunately I wasn't one of them.
" Onii-san cut it out," commanded Kazu Uncle. Yes, believe it or not my dad was the older brother, sometimes I wonder if it is true but after looking at their birth certificates I sigh withed a defeated look in my face and wondered if I would ever find proof that my dad was not the older one. But no such luck so far, though my mum, Sakura Yuka, a famous fashion designer, found it hilarious at my attempts of finding evidence.
"Hai," saluted my dad. Could he get any more retarded?
"Mikan I have important news. Now this decision was made with a lot of thinking and myself, your mum, Kazu and a few other people made this decision. I want you to accept this, though you might find it a bit hard at start….." I tuned his voice out and tried to think of the worst decision he has made and thought if this would life-changing or would this be a good decision.
There was one time, 5 years ago when I was 11, he told me that I would be staying with my grandma for 4 weeks. I didn't talk to him for a week because I detested my grandma, not my dad's mum but my mum's mum. She was such a b***h! She always complained how long my hair was, that I had split ends, my dressing sense is bad, my nails are too short and not in shape, my eyes are weird, my nose is too long! Seriously that woman is so mad I wouldn't care if she died, man I'm praying for that day to come! I'm not a mean, cold person but when it comes to her I could be a lot things, even I myself haven't imagined of.
There was another time, when I was 13 , he told my neighbour I had a crush on him. I mean I did but what kind of father would tell that to your crush! And no he wasn't happy that I had one, he lectured him on how to stay away from me or he'll break his legs so that he could never walk. The humiliation! I still don't know how he knew I had a crush on my neighbour! I guess I'll have to be more alert next time.
There were more embarrassing times but I prefer not to reveal them. I tuned back in only to hear him say, "….and I made this decision because I want the best for you…." God! He still hadn't finished his speech.
I cut him off saying with an irritated tone, "Dad, get on with it",
"Oh right, sorry" he flashed me another cheesy grin before he gave me the worst news of all, "Mikan, you're engaged!"
"Phewwwww, finally its said, feels like a load has been lifted off my chest." he exclaimed to his brother happily.
"WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTT???????????" I yelled after a silence of 5 seconds. I saw my dad looking scared as the floor shacked,
"Did her yell just make the floor shake?"
"No, you stupid man, it's an earthquake!" I sat down on the floor, we had been taught that in cases of earthquakes, one should sit down on the floor. M dad looked at me like he didn't believe me, this ticked me off resulting in me saying with gritted teeth, "I don't have ultra sonic powers in my voice yano' to make the floor shake,"
He laughed nervously seeing me angry and sat on the floor followed by Kazu Uncle.
After the earthquake settled ,I stomped out of the room. He told me that we have to go meet the family tonight. Talk about delayed message.
End of Flashback
I trudged down the corridors, it was lunchtime, everyone stared at me, some with questioning looks in their eyes, some with fear in their eyes because of the dark aura emitted by me.
I glared at everyone in my way, I was in no mood to talk to anyone at all. Just when I thought my luck couldn't get any worse, there stood Hotaru blocking my path and in her hand, the infamous baka gun, an invention she made which she shoots at anyone and everyone. I knew this meant only one thing, she wanted answers, and I had them!
I knew it would be a futile attempt for me to ignore Hotaru, so I just walked up to her and said, "I'll tell you tomorrow," and walked off.
