Summary: For a girl who despises physical attraction, how will she cope with the feelings which tell her otherwise.
Chapter 1: Settling in
She shut the book with a loud "thump" as she cursed under her breath. Love stories do suck enormously, she was only willing to try it because Anna and Nonoko were pestering her so much, but this was the last straw.
"Love at first sight, my ass, why can't people simply say, lust as first sight." mumbled Mikan.
She never really was a romantic at heart, and apparently, life didn't want her to either. However, that was another story. The prime topic at the moment was that their entire friends group, including Mikan, Hotaru, Nonoko, Anna and Sumire were all moving to Chicago to attend their respective colleges. Mikan and Hotaru were admitted after a lot of back – breaking hardwork to the University of Chicago, Anna and Nonoko had earned themselves a place each at the Illinois Institute of Technology and Sumire was going to the Chicago state university. They have managed to lacate an awesome apartment at the centre of the city where they were going to live together. After a gruesome 5 hours of settling in, all of them collapsed, exhausted and aching. As all of them glanced at eachother together from their respective positions, they fell down laughing hysterically, water spurting from their eyes, as they rolled on the paper covered floor.
3 days from now,
"uggghhhh" Mikan cried out as the alarm clock screamed persistently at her ear. She had only managed to tur it down and pull the blanket over her head when Sumire snached the covers from over her head and glared at her with her blazing forest green eyes. "PERMY!" shouted Mikan. " You have 45 minuted before your first day at Uchicago begins and your are Permying me?" She said with an eerie calm voice. Mikan eyes popped open as she sat up and ran to the shower at lightning speed. Nonoko snickered behind her and gave a thumbs up to Sumire who sat on Mikan's bed looking extremely pleased with herself, blowing on her recently manicured nails.
As soon as Mikan pulled on a light blue tank top and a dark washed out jeans, they were out the door, sprinting towards the nearest Metro station. From there the group dispersed, Mikan and Hotaru arriving at Uchicago twenty minutes later with only ten minutes to spare. They ran to the information centre to collect their routine and only managed to find their room before the teacher entered.
"Settle down people." Said Professor Beetee.
The two friends slumped on the nearest table that they could find. After breathing heavily for a few minutes, Mikan opened her eyes and scanned the room to find herself locked in gaze with a crimson pair.
