"Hey minna! Want to go to Central Town?" Mikan exclaimed, excitedly.
In reality, she really didn't want to go at all but knew she had to keep up her bubbly façade, for no one was to know what had happened that night.
Natsume, Ruka-pyon, Koko, Permy, Youchi, Anna, Yuu, Nonoko, and Mikan all skipped happily off to Central Town, with the exception of Natsume and Youchi lagging behind and Ruka being immersed in his animals. Mikan ran directly for the Howalon stand, although she really didn't feel like eating any of it. She hadn't, since that night. You might be wondering why Hotaru wasn't going to Central Town with the rest of them. After all, Hotaru was Mikan's best friend, right?
Flashback –
"Hotaru, Hotaru, Hotaru! Look what I got!" Mikan squealed while jumping up and down, holding some shiny thing.
Hotaru said nothing.
Within the midst of all Mikan's squealing and saying stuff like best friends, Hotaru replied in the iciest voice ever.
"What do you mean, best friends? Did I ever say we were? Don't ever speak to me again. I don't want to hear your annoying voice in my face again, and I don't have the time to baka-gun you all the time. You hear me? You're annoying. Go away. "
Mikan's confidence was fully dropped. She slowly walked away, immediately crashing on her bed when she got to her room.
"Why would she do something like that? I really, really, thought we were best friends. As it turns out, I'm a fool. I'm so naïve and always assume. Look where that got me. Well I'm not going to be fooled any longer. I'll stay away from her. I'm going to become strong, and cold so no one can hurt me anymore."
End Flashback –
"Hey Mikan. Mikannn! Earth to Mikan. Hellooo?"
"I'm okay Anna." She replied quietly.
Everyone wondered why Mikan was so quiet. There was an awkward silence as everyone stared.
Mikan wondered why they were all staring at her, and then remembered.
"Shit, I blew it," she thought.
"Come on, minna! Let's go to this store! It looks really fun in there!" she shouted, reverting back to 'bubbly self'.
That night, after the trip to Central Town-
If anyone saw Mikan in her room after the trip to Central Town, they would be shocked, seriously wondering if someone had kidnapped Mikan and put a quiet clone in her place.
The wind billowed all around making noises on this dark night, making her white bedroom curtains swish and swash. Mikan trembled in the cold, huddling under her blankets. The night was dark with the full moon being its only illumination. Life was cruel; it was evil; it was horrible; yet there were some good things, she knew. But no one cared. No one cared what she thought. No one cared about her troubles. No one really knew her. No one. No one. No one. She had no family left. Ojii-san had died; she had received a letter in the mail yesterday. Her friends-well all they knew was the bubbly and happy Mikan. That was the only kind of Mikan they liked. And due to certain circumstances, she just couldn't be that Mikan anymore.
