At the apartment
Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring! Ring!
"Mhm."
Urgh, I thought, rolling over to my side on the bed. What is that awful ringing noise?
I let my eyes drift shut again, ready to sleep further.
Suddenly, something stirred in my memory. Something about my best friend, Hotaru.
Hotaru? Hotaru...oh shit!
I scrambled from the bed in a blind panic, sending sheets flying everywhere.
I was suppose to meet Hotaru at the coffeehouse at least ten minutes ago!
Grabbing a brush, I dragged it hurriedly through my tangled hair and dashed for the bathroom.
Ten minutes later, I was careening through the apartment I shared with my best friends, Hotaru and Anna.
Shit! I thought as I snatched up my car and house keys. I'm doomed.
Five minutes later
I drove as fast as I could through the busy Tokyo streets, trying not to hit anyone.
It was a humid day; hot and way too sunny. People were hiding behind sunglasses or hiding beneath hats and umbrellas.
As I sped through three traffic lights flashing red and was just cursing my luck, I spotted a tall girl sauntering along the pavement across from me.
She was wearing cutoffs with a sleeveless white hoodie and long sleeved green tee and listening to her iPod.
Nothing unusual but I slowed down.
Her hair. I'd seen hair like hers before; black as midnight, glossy and soft. Not very usual here in Tokyo.
That was when she turned and I almost screamed.
She had red eyes. Deep, dark, jump-out-at-you red eyes. She was beautiful with sharp features and pale skin.
But that wasn't what had terrified me.
No. It was Aoi Hyuuga that blinked her beautiful red eyes lazily at me. She smiled then turned to melt into the crowd.
"Aoi!" I screamed it, hoping she would turn around. But she didn't.
Completely forgetting about Hotaru, I attempted to stomp my foot onto the brakes. But I accidentally hit accelerator and zoomed away.
When I glanced back, she was gone.
At the coffeehouse
Hotaru's Coffeehouse For The Awesome, or more commonly known as HCA, was hopping when I arrived.
I knew Hotaru wouldn't be working. She'd gotten her fortune through the coffeehouse and now could kick back and relax.
Sure enough, it was Anna smiling sweetly behind the counter. I waved to her then scanned the crowded coffeehouse for Hotaru.
I spotted her dark hair. She was sitting sprawled in a chair by the window. I dashed over.
"Sorry I'm late, Hotaru," I apologized as I hurried up. "I ... overslept."
"Baka," she snapped. "You kept us waiting."
"Us?" I repeated. I glanced to the empty seat across her in confusion. "Who's us?"
Her thin lips curved into a slow smile. "Oh, me," she said innocently. "And ... someone else."
For no reason at all, I felt chills run up my spine.
Suddenly, a voice like melting butter called my name behind me.
It was a voice that I could recognize from a mile away, a voice that produced butterflies from my stomach.
A voice that up until now, I'd dreaded to hear.
"Its been a while ... Mikan," Natsume Hyuuga whispered from behind me.

There ya go. (:
Natsume is officially back.
I'll write chapter 2 later; am too lazy right now.
Read and review, please.
