Chapter One: Middle School
"Grandpa I'm off to school!" Mikan called as she slipped on her shoes and was ready to head out.
"Be careful! And make sure to make lots and lots of friends and have fun." Her grandfather told her from the hallway.
"Hai~!" Mikan said and she was off to her first day of middle school.
She hurried to school trying her hardest not to be late to her first day of school. The bell for the five minute bell rang as she raced into her new school. "Ah! I'm going to be late! I can't even find the classroom!" Mikan screamed.
She gasped seeing the room and slammed the door open by accident. She was startled to see a girl with beautiful amethyst eyes staring back at her. Her hair cut short in a cute bob jet black something similar to a raven's feathers. "You must be Sakura Mikan." The teacher said her hands on her waist and a stern look on her face, "Late on your first day, wait outside until I call you in."
Mikan sighed, "Hai, sensei."
Mikan couldn't help but take one last glance at the mysterious girl with amethyst eyes.
Break Time
Mikan grabbed her snack and went to one of the benches and she had already made several friends. She turned to see the girl with amethyst eyes sitting by herself eating something out of a jar. "Why is she sitting by herself?" Mikan asked the girls sitting around her.
The girls looked at each other. "She's really creepy, she won't talk to anyone and all she does it work on these weird stuff." One of the girls says.
"I think she's a witch and she's trying to cast a spell on us." Another one chimed in.
"I don't think you should try to be her friend Mik-…an."
But as the other girl tried to finish her sentence, Mikan had already made her way to the girl with amethyst eyes. The girl looked up at Mikan. "Hello, my name is Sakura Mikan, what is your name?"
"Imai Hotaru." She stated and continued to eat whatever was in the jar.
"It's a pleasure to meet you Hotaru-Chan."
"Just call me Hotaru."
Mikan couldn't help but smile. "Hai, Hotaru!" Mikan proceeded with sitting beside her, "What are you eating?"
"Crab brains." Hotaru stated.
Mikan could only blink her eyes, "I've never had crab brains before…does it taste good?"
Hotaru scooped a spoon full and handed it Mikan. Mikan took a bite and her face immediately turned green. "Thanks…but it's not my kind of food." Mikan said.
Hotaru shrugged and continued eating it. "Neh, do you want to try my snack? My grandpa made it for me." Mikan said.
Hotaru looked at Mikan. "What is it?"
"Chocolate Mousse." Mikan said, "It's really good!"
Hotaru grunted and proceeded with eating her crab brains. Mikan pouted and scooped and spoon full and put it to Hotaru's face. Hotaru ate it and gave her a small smile which Mikan couldn't help but fine cute. "It's good."
Mikan couldn't help but smile, "Maybe you could come over sometime and my grandpa can teach us how to make it."
Hotaru nodded her head. "That would be cool."
Mikan smiled…little did the two girls now that was how they beginning of their wonderful friendship began…but little did they know that as the years passed something would cause them to split apart.
