: Have u ever gotten stuck in an elevator? It Might sound like a normal situation. But, not until you find yourself stuck with a specific person. Specifically a raven hair crimson eyed boy. Who you soon notice seems to be everywhere in your life. Stalker? Or Coincidence?
X. Chapter 1: It can get way worse than you think.
Sakura Mikan. A regular 18 year old girl, who just wants to enjoy her life. But, for some reason bad things just keep happening to her. Today, she had just lost her job, lost 20 dollars and broken her favourite heels; which may I add be Gucci? Coincidence? I don't think so.
"Can it get anymore worse?" she groaned as she kept her head low and dragged her feet as she walked. Those who walked passed her could see a rain cloud just above her head.
She entered her apartment building, which she had just recently moved into. The apartment was decent; but, it wasn't those apartments that people could also call a hotel. The place wasn't too big, but it was enough for her and her roommate. She groaned again as she continued to walk with a broken heel. She wouldn't be surprised if she entered her apartment and it was infested with rats because today was just not her day. Well technically, everyday wasn't her day. Her room was on the 6th floor. It had 10 floors in total. She was very grateful she ended up not having the top floor. She stood in front of the elevator and pressed the arrow that meant up. As she waited, a boy with crimson eyes and raven hair stood beside her. Mikan had seen him around a lot recently. She was guessing he had just moved in. They both stood beside each other as they waited for the elevator to reach ground floor. But they hardly paid attention to each other. Sure, from time to time Mikan would curiously wonder what he was thinking and sneak a few glances. But who wouldn't? This boy was pretty cute, but one thing's for sure, you cannot see what the heck he's thinking. His emotionless face sure seemed scary but not to an extent you would be frightened to approach him. This boy was pretty clever and was able to sense the staring Mikan was giving him. Finally, he couldn't handle it anymore and glared at her.
"Look" He said calmly at first and turned to her. Mikan turned to face him, surprised that he was starting a conversation first.
"If you have something to say, say it, because you're pissing me off!" He said, his voice suddenly rising like a crescendo.
From his tone, Mikan quickly understood that he was annoyed. But, she was still slightly taken back by his rude attitude. The atmosphere soon became tense until the point Mikan could handle no more.
Before Mikan could speak to him, the elevator doors opened. They both entered. 'Yes I'm saved!' Mikan thought, but then she saw him press the same floor; number 6. 'No!' she cried in her head. While they waited, yet again. The atmosphere was still tense as before. Mikan this time made sure she wouldn't look at him, she was scared to get him mad again. 'How rude...oh well it could have been worse right?' she thought to herself. Right as she said it, the elevator suddenly stopped. Making, both the boy and Mikan fall.
"Ouch..."she groaned while rubbing her bottom. It was completely dark. The elevator lights had turned off and the elevator stopped. One more level until she reached her floor. 'Why!!' she cried in her head. She then remembered the boy who was also stuck in there with her. She tried to push herself way back into the corner and covered herself. 'You'll never know what a guy could do to an innocent little girl like me' she thought. Then she suddenly saw light. He had a flashlight? 'Who keeps flash lights?' she said in her head. She was trying her hardest not to laugh. But a little giggle escaped her lips.
"What?!" she heard him say.
"So-sorry" she said.
"It's...it's just I never knew a person who kept flashlights before, no offense" She explained. She didn't hear him reply until a few minutes later.
"Do you have a phone?" He asked breaking the silence.
"Oh! Yea I do!" She said reaching into her purse. Since there were no lights, she needed to move her hand around, feeling the objects kept inside her purse.
"Why didn't you call earlier stupid!" he shouted.
"I'm sorry!" She shouted back.
"Here" he said lending the flashlight so she could see inside her purse. She took it and began to search for her cell phone. While she was looking she began to think. 'Yes I'm saved!' but, I guess she celebrated too soon because it ended up her phone was low battery.
"Ah...I'm sorry" She said slightly embarrassed. She was pretty sure he was glaring even though she couldn't see. The elevator was sort of small, and could probably only fit the maximum of 5 people. The elevator had the scent of cologne. She guessed it was from him. She had to admit, the smell was pretty nice, it wasn't too tough nor to weak. But it did start feeling a little stuffy. Therefore, it started to become rather hot, she tried to fan herself with her hand but that wasn't enough; she was boiling. A few minutes later she started to hear something unzipping. Mikan froze to the sound.
"What are you doing?" she robotically.
"Taking off my sweater, its freaking hot in here" he said
"Oh ok" she replied back a little relieved.
"Why? What did you think I was going to do?" he said smirking, but of course wasn't seen.
Good thing it was dark because Mikan was blushing big time.
"No-nothing" she stuttered
"Whatever" he replied, dropping the topic.
x.x.x.x.
They were stuck in the elevators for about an hour. None was speaking to each other or taking notice that the other was there. She absolutely had no idea what he was doing right now. Mikan was dying of thirst and was tired. It was hot and stuffy. She began to doubt that somebody was going to come and save her. She began to get fantasies of prince charming coming to save her, the damsel in distress. But, of course she knew that would never happen. She continued to fan herself; her eyes began to fall until she noticed the lights flicker back on. Mikan quickly stood up waiting for what was about to happen next.
"Is the elevator working again?" she said
"It's about time!" the boy said.
Then the elevator doors opened.
"Yes! Finally!"She shouted. She picked up her purse and zoomed out of the elevator.
She began walking towards her apartment room. But then noticed somebody was following behind her. She suddenly remembered that the boy lived on the same floor. She quickly turned around and saw him. He stopped walking when he saw her face him.
"What?" he said in a bored-tone.
"Are you following me?" She jumped to conclusions.
"Heh" he snorted.
"Why would I follow you? I'm going to my apartment if you were wondering" he began to walk pass her until he stopped and turned his head.
"Polka-dots? How old are you?" he said with a smirk
Mikan eyes widen and her mouth dropped.
"H-how?" she said. Mikan started to twitch.
He smirked again. That smirk that Mikan was beginning to hate.
"Earlier in the elevator when you were pushing yourself into the corner. You know you shouldn't wear such short skirts. Pol-ka-dots"
"But it was dark!"
"My flashlight was on the entire time you should get your eyes checked" he said before walking away and entering his apartment which was right beside her apartment.
'He lives right beside me!' she shouted in her head. Her mouth was still opened big enough for a fly to enter any minute. She was ready to cry. Once she left her parents house, she believed she would be luckier. But luck let her down ...again. Lady luck was never on her side...
x.x.x.x.
When she entered her apartment she looked around and noticed her roommate wasn't home.
'She's probably working' Mikan thought.
"Ah...at least Hotaru is lucky she still has her job" She said to herself. She went into her room and changed into something more comfortable. After, she walked into her kitchen and opened her fridge.
"No food..." Mikan said. The only thing left was some drinks: Arizona, orange juice, milk and water. Mikan took out the Arizona, walked into the living room and picked up the phone along the way. She dropped herself onto the couch and began to dial a number.
'I guess I have no choice but to order take out' she thought.
She ordered some pizza, which was coming in a few minutes. She then picked up the newspaper that was on the floor and flipped to the list of jobs. She looked through the newspaper, circling the ones she thought she could check out. She ended up circling only 3: helper at a pet shop, worker at a clothing store and babysitter at a daycare. But then something caught her eye in the bottom right corner.
Cafe Alice
Looking for a Waitress
No special skill needed.
'Hmm...' Mikan began to think.
"This place sounds pretty good" she said to herself. She then heard a knock; she peeked through the small hole in the door to check who it was. Once she saw it was the delivery man, she quickly opened the door.
She paid him before taking her pizza inside and eating most of it. She saved a few slices for her roommate. She then went into her room to take a shower and sleep. Absolutely forgetting about the events that occurred earlier.
