CHAPTER 1 - First day of school

It was a scorching hot summer. The sun is blazing outside and the trees are swaying as the warm breeze touched its leaves. The birds are happily chirping while some students are laughing and chatting animatedly, making their way to the school. But there's still one brunette who's still sleeping soundly.

TICK TOCK. TICK TOCK. TICK TOCK. RRRRIIIIIIIIINNNGGGGG!

The clock struck exactly at 7:00 o'clock in the morning. The brunette woke up, stretched her arms and did her daily exercise routine.

"One-two, Three-four, five-six, seven-eight."

She skipped in front of her window and opened it with a cheeky smile on her face. She felt the fresh air that slowly touched her pale skin.

"Good morning, everyone!" She shouted as she started to notice a lot of students passing by.

"Hey! Mi-Chan! You're late! And good morning by the way." A boy with a blonde and spiky hair shouted back with a goofy smile.

She looked at the boy and waved. Late for what? She thought. And a Baka-gun hit the back of her head. BAKA. BAKA. BAKA. She almost fell out of the window. Koko, Anna, Nonoko, Kitsu and Senri were stunned and they ran quickly towards Mikan's window. Their hearts almost fell because of what happened.

"Slow poke, I thought you wouldn't wake up."

Mikan turned her head where Hotaru is standing. Then she gasped. There she saw Hotaru wearing a blue shirt, tied red bow, black knee-high boots, a red plaid skirt, and a white collar. She was holding her first invention, "the Baka-gun", and then suddenly, Mikan remembered that it's the first day of school. She looked at the clock and there's fifteen minutes left. So Hotaru decided to leave the brunette and said, "Math is our first subject." And then she smirked. Mikan tried to catch up with Hotaru, but her best friend was already riding her second invention, "the flying swan".

Mikan ran back to her room and went to the bathroom. She only bathed for only five minutes, currently her fastest record for taking a bath. After walking out of the shower, her hair is still wet, and she didn't even have the time to look at herself in the mirror. She went downstairs, the breakfast is already prepared - a sandwich = bread + egg + lettuce + ketchup + cheese + bread [A/N: Jii-Chan's recipe :))]. She removed the lettuce, and ran outside. She wore her roller skates and bid her farewell to her grandmother's picture. Then, she saw her Jii-Chan watering the plants and waved. "Bye! Jii-Chan!" She smiled sweetly.


While running, Mikan is still eating her so-called breakfast, which Jii-Chan made. When she turned to the right corner of the street, she bumped into someone. She stood up, still not looking at the person's face; she bowed and said "Gomenasai..." repeatedly. She rubbed her butt and looked at the person's face. There she saw the most handsome guy, according to her, and she blushed crimson red. Then she turned her back and fixed herself.

"You okay?" The guy asked.

He was in Middle school, as seen in his uniform. He's wearing a black jacket and white undershirt. He wears his blue ribbon untied round his neck. The uniform also has blue plaid pants and brown shoes. He has dark blue hair and eyes. Under his left eye is a mole that is shaped like a star. Cool huh.

Mikan blushed ten times redder when she remembered that event when she first saw the dark blue haired lad.

-FLASHBACK-

Gakuen Alice held a school festival. Some students performed, including the famous, Mischievous Symphony [A/N: it's a band.], consisting of four members – Tsubasa Andou, the lead vocalist and guitarist; Tonouichi Akira, bassist; Higuchi Tachibana [A/N: she's a guy here. Sorry Higu-sensei. No offense. : P], pianist; Ikue Tsutsumi, drummer.

Tsubasa and his band played their songs, they were so good. . . So good that all of the sudden, Mikan felt butterflies with the lead vocals. She also became interested in music, because of him.

-END OF FLASHBACK-

Mikan was spacing out, so Tsubasa waved his hands in front of her, getting Mikan out of her own world. Tsubasa noticed Mikan's uniform and said,

"I think you're gonna be late, little girl."

"Uhmm. . ." Mikan said while pointing her index fingers together shyly. . .

"I'm sorry again, Tsubasa-sempai."

She ran as fast as she could. Mikan didn't notice that her necklace – its pendant is shaped like an oblique spheroid, which was given by her grandmother, fell off her neck. Mikan treasures it because it reminds her of her grandmother.

Tsubasa saw the necklace and tried to catch up with Mikan but she was too fast.

"Tsk. Roadrunner." He whispered to himself.


AT SCHOOL. . .

Jinno-sensei, their Math teacher, was writing notes on the board. When Mikan saw that, she tiptoed on her way to her seat. She sat at the back, beside the window, with Anna – a girl with a cotton candy hair, in front of her. She thought she's already safe from being caught, but. .

"Sakura-san," Jin-jin said in a strict voice.

"Uh-oh, someone's in trouble." Koko whispered.

"Your punishment will be . . . COMMUNITY SERVICE for 1 week." He said, emphasizing the community service.

Mikan banged her head on the table and said "Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid." Jinno-sensei just continued writing. Baka. Hotaru murmured.

They had a graded recitation and the brunette sweat-dropped. Jinno was asking easy questions that even a five year-old kid can answer, to the other students while Mikan was having a hard time thinking that he will ask a very difficult question to her. He was bias when it comes to Mikan.

"Mikan, what is the curve generated by a point which moves so that the ratio of its distance from a fixed point to its directrix will be constant?" Jinno asked.

"NO FAIR!" she absent-mindedly shouted.

"Why, Sakura-san? Do you want it to be harder?" he said in a cold voice. Yuu noticed the tension between the two, so he raised his hand and asked . .

"Uhmm, sir can I-"

"NO." Jinno cut him off.

While Jinno's attention is on Yuu, Mikan grabbed the opportunity and used her puppy eyes to Hotaru, but her best friend just shrugged.

This is the worst day of my life, she thought. And the bell rang.

KRRRIIINNNGG!

Mikan jumped in delight. She was saved by the bell. She sighed.


-IN THE CANTEEN-

"NOOOOO!" Mikan screamed so loud that all her schoolmates stared at her. She noticed that her necklace was lost.

That scream of hers was so loud that her friends' eardrums almost exploded. Some students even spit out their foods in front of their friends' faces. Eww. The birds flew and her scream was heard all over the elementary division.

Her friends were fuming with anger. "MIKAN/MIKAN-CHAN!" They shouted in unison.

Mikan was panicking and tried searching for her necklace. She was ignoring their complaint; her best friend didn't hesitate to shoot her with her baka-gun. BAKA. BAKA. BAKA. Mikan rubbed her temple.

"What's the matter, Mikan-chan? Anna and Nonoko said with worried voices.

"M-my n-neck-l-lace. .: she stuttered. "It's gone! NOOO!"

Hotaru gasped but she quickly recovered and muttered "Stupid."

Mikan looked at her with her puppy eyes, and Hotaru already knew what that means.

"20 rabbits." Hotaru said without even letting Mikan say a thing. Mikan bowed in agreement, and her eyes are wet because of tears.


-SCHOOL GROUND-

They started searching for the missing necklace. Hotaru even used some of her inventions, but they still can't find it.

"Mikan, it's okay. We'll find it together." Nonoko said, trying to cheer up. Anna joined too and said "Yeah! We'll be here for you! Don't give up easily! Smile!"

Because of that, Mikan's cheerfulness came back.

"You're right" Mikan told them with a small smile on her face.

They said their goodbyes, and Koko turned his head 90 degrees and said "Good luck on your community service!" with a smirk. Then Mikan's gloomy aura came back.
