Here's chapter 2.. Thanks to the ones who reviewed my first chapter. I hope I get more this time.
I just wanna say that my story will not be that funny but rather romantic. But I will try my best to not make it boring. I just love romantic stories. Well, let's proceed.
Chapter 2
Mikan's POV
Mikan yawns. "I can't believe that in just two days, so many things would be happening to me. First, I bumped to a very arrogant guy in my first day in school, I got two wonderful friends, my uncle's restaurant was closed and now I'm gonna work in the palace. What else could happen to me?"
End of POV
"Granpa! I'm going to work." Mikan yelled for his grandfather to hear.
"Don't shout! I'm not deaf. Ok go get your fork."
"No granpa. I'm gonna work." Mikan explained.
"Don't call me a dork you child!"
"Bye granpa!"
"That child really is something."

"Who could that person be? Wait, I don't know her. How would we know that we are looking for each other?" Mikan said to herself.
"Excuse me. You're Mikan Sakura right?"
"Yeah. You know me?"
"Your uncle told me all about you."
"Oh. So you are uncle's friend?"
"Yeah. Just call me Sumiko nee-san."
"Ok."
"Then let's go to the palace."
"You know, when I was young, I'm always wishing to be in the palace as the princess. And now, I can't believe I'm gonna work there."
"Must be a dream-come-true." Sumiko giggled.
"Well, not exactly what I want but still fine."
The two chatted and chatted in the taxi while on their way to the palace.
"So we're here." Sumiko paid the taxi driver.
"Wow. It's so big. It's really the palace." Mikan startled.
"Of course it is, and starting now, you're gonna live here."
"What? I thought I'm going to just work here."
"Working here is like living in the palace but not as a royal but as a servant."
"Oh, that seems kinda harsh."
"Ya think."
"So, what will I be doing here? Wash plates, cook food, clean floors? What?"
"No no. You'll be working as the prince's servant."
"The prince? Speaking of which, I still haven't seen him even in television."
"That's because he don't want to get publicized."
"Oh."
"And you know, he also studies in the same school as you are this school year."
"Really? This will be an interesting year for me."
"Let's go to his room now and I'll let you meet him."
The two talked and talked until they reached the prince's room.
Sumiko knocked.
"It's open." The prince said.
Sumiko opened the door. "Prince, your new servant is here."
"How many times did I say that I don't want a servant."
"It's the queen's order, prince."
"I don't care. But never interfere with my business again. I said I don't want a servant so don't give me one. Or you want to have it your own way?" The prince was really pissed of.
"Natsume, the queen is just concerned about you." A guy beside him said.
"He's right prince." Sumiko added.
"Whatever. Then let her enter so that this conversation will end!"
"Mikan, come in." Sumiko walked out.
"Good morning prince. I will be your new…" Mikan looked at the prince and saw that he is…
"Natsume! You are the prince?" Mikan was surprised.
"You baka! You're my new servant?" Natsume was surprised but did not show any emotion.
"Not anymore! I'm not gonna waste one second with you."
"That's right. Go away. But remember… Natsume walked to Mikan and held the wall as if trying to let her go away. "Never tell this to anyone."
"That you're a prince? It would be great in the headlines of our daily newspaper."
Natsume was so angry that he could burst anytime. "Tell this or I'll kill you."
"It's a deal. Tomorrow morning, I'm gonna tell it to the whole school and kill me immediately after."
"You are so!"
"What? I don't care if I'm dead as long as I know that you're secret will be known by the whole school, no the whole country or even the whole world! So if you may excuse me, I'm gonna go PRINCE." Mikan bowed sarcastically.
"I hate him. He's so arrogant. Threatening to kill me. How childish!" Mikan said to herself.
"Mikan!" Ruka followed her.
"Ruka? You're that bastard's servant."
"Yeah, the prince's actually."
"Well if you're gonna scold me because I've said some harsh words to your prince and you're gonna tell me to apologize, no but he'll not get one."
"I'm not asking for you to apologize but please stay here."
"You're really seriously asking me to become that baka's servant? No way."
"But the prince really need a…"
"A servant? You could just shout outside the palace that the prince needs a servant and a number of crowds would be running into you begging to get that job."
"It's not that."
"Then what is it?"
"As you know, the prince will be the next king but he really doesn't like to be a king."
"Pretty obvious. So what's you're point?"
"If you could persuade him to accept the throne when he's 21 then everything will be okay."
"He needs an advisor, not a servant."
"Actually, I'm his advisor."
"Then everything's fine. What do you need me for?"
"I just think that you are a very determined person so you will not give up easily."
"Thanks for the compliment."
"I'm willing to give any amount."
"I'm poor but I never do anything just for money."
Ring Ring Ring
"Wait huh. My phone is ringing."
"Ok."
"Who's there?"
"It's me, your neighbor. You're grandfather is terribly sick so I brought him to the hospital. But I also have a financial problem so I could not answer your bills."
"Thank you very much. I'll go there as fast as I can."
"Ruka, I accept your offer."
"What? Just because of a phone call?"
"Yeah. I'll work here for a month I guess. And remember, I'm working for my grandfather not for you or for that arrogant prince. He's ill."
"Thanks."
"So what am I going to do?"
End of Chapter
Tell me. It's terrible, isn't it? Please read and review. Reviews are my basis if I will continue my story or not.
