Mikan's a very normal highschool girl. Not popular, not genius, not too pretty or too ugly. She's someone behind the curtains and doesn't stand out much. Enemy : the popular, rich, smart, snobby and selfish Luna with huge façade in school. The guy : the oh-so-great Natsume Hyuuga, almost perfect he is, but not really interested in anything with the word 'school'. This story's trying to prove that friendship and love are the most beautiful colors in life, and how impossible fairytales can happen.

"Control your fate or somebody else will"
- Heinrich Von Pierer -
...
`Mikan's flashback`
Destiny, fate, I've always tried to believe them. Always dream that the small me can be a successful person and have a good soul mate.
Well, in the comics, novels, fairytales, anything, the story usually ended with the popular girl being together with the popular guy, or the geek girls will end up with the lady killer, vice versa. But I'm not both.
I hope my life's like a fairytale too, I can end up with someone that likes me just the way I am, just like what Bruno Mars sings. But these days, guys here in my city probably always look at me from the outside, do I have beautiful face, nice body, rich, smart, and it keeps going on and on and on.
Maybe I should give up being a nice girl from the inside and just being great from the outside?
Or should I control my fate to have that happy ending?

`At the mall. Normal POV`
"Alright everyone, where will we go first?" Nonoko asked the moment all five of the girls stepped inside the Central Town, one of the best malls in Tokyo, where the shops are trying to lure more customers with discounts and sales, and all good looking products.
"Definitely shopping. Can't you see all these sales and, oh my gosh ! Let's go inside that store !" Permy just got all excited about shopping and pointed at Zara with 50% discount sign on the window.
"Alright alright, whatever you say Permy." said Anna flatly.
"Hmm..guys? I think I don't wanna come in…" Mikan sweat dropped, remembering the deal her friends forced her to make.
"Well, you can give us the money beforehand, then you are free to go." replied Hotaru, with demanding tone.
"Uhm, then I'll….i'll go to the toilet now, bye !" Within seconds, Mikan already left, or should I say running, tried to keep herself out of the 'broke zone'.
"Mikan ! We had a deal !" Permy shouted out loud, hoping Mikan will come back and generously pay for her . "Great, there goes our deal, see what I'm going to do to her for leaving us behind."
"Come on Permy, it's just a stupid deal." said Anna, trying to chill her down.
"It is, but the problem is, she just ran off and leave us behind, i'm gonna make her pay triple." Hotaru flatly said, while quietly put on her baka gun.
"Ahahaha….anything you say, Hotaru." Anna and Nonoko chorused while Permy shot a 'good-job' look to Hotaru.

`Mikan's POV`
"Woah, what's that chilly feeling I just felt?" Mikan confusedly talk to herself, and suddenly remembered. "Shit, whenever I felt that chill, it means Hotaru's up to something really bad, what the hell, I shouldn't ran off, she's mad, and with the Ice Queen mad, even hell will freeze, oh dear."
Mikan kept talking to herself and aimlessly walk around the huge mall, and ended up standing in front of Starbucks.
"Hey, it's Starbucks ! Great, I'm going inside!" she flashed a huge grin on her face and started to queue and ordered for a glass of Frappucino. After getting her order, she sat on an empty table and sipping her coffee, enjoying the taste of sweet chocolate and caffeine in her mouth.
She suddenly realized that a few people were looking at her. She wondered maybe because she's wearing her school uniform and looked pretty messy while other people were trying to look their best all the time. She let out a sigh, kind of regretted why she left her friends because her confident was turning down.

`Somewhere inside the mall. Normal POV`
While one of the five teenage girls were sepperated from her friends, five teenage boys were wandering around the mall, still on their uniforms too.
"Koko, what are you doing?" Ruka, the blond guy with piercing topaz eyes, asked his friend, Koko, with dirty sandy coloured hair and matching eyes, who was staring at a Porsche display, with both of his eyes bulging out, and his jaw dropped.
"He really had to stop doing that," said Yuu aka Inchou, the owner of sandy hair and a pair of glasses was set on his brown eyes.
"Hahaha, he's just being stupid, like always." replied Kitsuneme, the Koko look-a-like, but has fox-like eyes.
"Always." stated Natsume, who has dark raven hair and deep crimson eyes.
"Come on, that car was cool !" Koko protested and tried to convince his friends that he didn't look that stupid.
"Remind me again why did we go here in the first place?" Natsume asked. A few girls were starting to stare and drool at them, especially at him, and it was kind of annoying to see them drooling.
"We just wanna have some fun Natsume, come on man, cheer up a little. Let's go to Starbucks alright? We can drink some coffee and stay out of the crowd." Ruka tried to make his childhood friend lighten up the mood a bit.
"Yeah, I could use some coffee right now, I'm getting bored here," replied Natsume.
"Then Starbucks it is !" Koko proclaiamed and they started heading towards the coffee shop.

`Mikan's POV`
This is bad. My phone is off because I forgot to charge the battery, and I'm separated from the girls. I look like a mess and a few people are starting to look. Really hate when people started to look at me like I'm a weirdo. Reminds me when I'm in the junior high school, ughh. That stupid past..
Alright, back to reality, I took my time drinking my coffee because I just love Starbucks', don't know why, but I'm kind of addicted to it, and I don't regret it, well, only regret when I remember my wallet's getting thinner and thinner each day.
"Excuse me, do you use this chair?" a deep masculine voice said. What? I shot my face up and see….a really handsome guy about my age, with raven locks and deep crimson eyes looking at me with a stoic face. Woah, he's so handsome and tall too, and wait a second, he said something about chair?
"Huh? Wha.." I suddenly said, damn, this is why I hate myself. Always got tongue tied whenever I tried to speak with good looking guys. Oh right, the chair ! "Uhm, sure." Shit shit shit, why can't I come up with better answer? Oh God….just talking like this even make me so nervous, shoot me.
"Thanks," he muttered under his breath. And there he goes, taking the chair away from my table and he walked towards his friends who were looking at me now, i immediately shot my gaze towards my Frappucino and tried to focus.
Wait..he and his friends are wearing the Alice Academy High uniform. I slowly crept my gaze up and tried to look at him and his friends without getting caught.
One of them is Inchou! Or should I say, Yuu, the one Nonoko got a crush on. That means I should be in the same class as them, right? Since each year, the school only has one class for each grade.
I really want to call Hotaru and the others now, but my stupid phone just won't work, oh great.
"Mikan." I shot my gaze up again, and I see Hotaru, right in front of me, sitting, and pointing her baka gun to me. Crap. This is so creepy.
"Woahh ! How did you get-" before I could finish my sentence, she already looked at me with a poker face. "H-h-hi, Hotaru?" I squirmed a bit, she looks so stoic, just like that guy from before, wait, did I do something wrong to that guy that he looked that stoic just like Hotaru?
"You left us." Suddenly Permy showed up besides her, and Anna and Nonoko too. Oh God, please save me.
"I'm sorry okay? I didn't mean to left you guys, ermm, i…" Tongue tied again, but this time, it's because of I can't think of any reason at all.
"It's alright Mikan, don't worry, it's nothing, come on, relax," Nonoko said, trying to convince me that Hotaru won't shoot her baka gun to me.
"Alright, alright, sorry again girls." I answered, knowing that they also don't take the deal seriously.
"So Mikan..we saw that raven haired guy walking towards you.." Anna suddenly and drastically changed the topic with glitter on her eyes. This is bad.
"Ohh, yeahh,, about that.." I really don't wanna talk about it, please change the topic, pleas-
"Tell us about it and I won't shoot you." Hotaru demanded, and I can just nod my head down and tell them what happened.
How I was mesmerized by his looks, and I was so nervous, and how I think I made him mad?
"You go girl ! He's hot !" Permy said and whistle towards me.
"H-hey, stop teasing, you know I've never had a boyfriend and hoping to have a boyfriend like him is just too impossible, just look at how..bad-looking I am." I let out a deep sigh. Who doesn't want to have a good-looking boyfriend? But that handsome is way too impossible for me.
"And he seemed to kinda hate me." I added, just great.
"We'll never know, and who said anything about you having him as boyfriend?" teased Anna, and I'm pretty sure my face is as red as tomato now.
"Ohooho, she's blushing ! She is ! " Nonoko stated that oh-so-obvious fact.
"Hmm, I think I might forget about your debt for a while, since you seem to be in a deep shame right now." Hotaru said evilly with a devilish smirk plastered on her face.
"N-n-no, I didn't mean that, i-i mean, i-i…." damn, I don't know what to say, so I just keep my mouth shut and keep looking at my Frappucino that seems so interesting right now.
"Hahaha, revenge is sure sweet, girl. And you're not bad-looking, you're very beautiful, but you hide it behind that glasses and braces," stated Permy. Hah, revenge is sweet, but not for the victim, and the victim here is me ! And about the bad-looking thing.. "Come on, don't let your past haunt you forever." Yeah, I've told them about my terrible horrible past, and they actually help me to get over it, oh I really am lucky to have them as my best friends.
"Alright alright, you got me there, and thanks for finding me here ! My confidence was just rolling down the hill." I cheerfully thanked them for literally saving me from lack of self-confidence.
"It's alright Mikan, and is it just me or that guy's friends are starting to look over here?" Anna asked us, and the bad thing is, all of us suddenly looked at those five guys' table at the same time.

`Natsume's POV`
When we reached Starbucks, it was hell of a crowd, and there was only a table left with four chairs after we got our orders.
And yes, Ruka, Koko, Kitsuneme, and even Yuu quickly took those seats and left me standing. Just great.
"Haha, sorry Nat, you're lack of luck today." stated Koko, and I really want to pour my Cappuccino on top of him.
"You can just borrow another chair from the other table, they sure won't mind if they don't use it." suggest Kitsuneme. Right, but I'm not in the mood to politely ask for a freaking chair from another table right now.
"Just great." I sarcasticly said.
"Hey, why don't you ask that girl with the brunette hair ? She's wearing our school uniform." said Ruka.
"If I'm not wrong, she's in the same class as us." added Inchou.
With that, I turned my head towards the girl they're talking about and started to walk towards her. She has a waist long brunette hair, and she's wearing a pair of glasses and braces. Nothing too special, but maybe a little strange because she doesn't seem to be trying to look her best, like those girls that like to drool around guys. Just hope she's not that type of girl.
Suddenly, she took a sip of her coffee and had a huge grin on her face after she drank it. To be honest, the first time I saw her smile, I think she doesn't look bad, not bad at all, although that glasses and braces add minus points.
When I finally reached her table, I tried to be a little polite and plainly asked, "Excuse me, do you use this chair?" Her face shot up, and my guess was right. She's not ugly at all, quite pretty I guess. I can see her surprised, and even had that surprised, mesmerized, and nervous look at the same time.
Wait, mesmerized? Please don't let her be the drooling type of girl. My day's been bad already.
She quickly opened her mouth and mumbling something about 'huh' and 'what', but she suddenly realized that she's not answering my question. In return, she finally said, "Uhm, sure."
Great, she is not that drooling type of girl. Hmm, she doesn't try to look good, she doesn't drool on guys, and she's not the bitchy or the geeks type, well, anyone can see that she doesn't seem nerdy at all, even though she's wearing glasses and braces. And she doesn't wear anything revealing like bitches do. Interesting.
Then I grabbed the chair and muttered 'Thanks' to her and go away. She's interesting alright, but I won't say it out loud or show it, because I can see my friends' gaze from the corner of my eyes, and for them to find that out, is going to be the last thing to happen inside this Starbucks.
I put the chair in the empty spot besides the table and sat down.
"Hey Nat, that girl's not bad, eh?" asked Kitsuneme. "I can see the way you see her when you walked towards her table, hah, but that poker face suddenly showed up when you talk to her."
"What? Really? " Koko exclaimed and immediately stare at that girl, just like what the rest of us did.
I can see that girls shrugs, and lifted her face a little to take a glance at us and immediately shot her gaze to her coffee again.
"Shy type, I guess, she doesn't look slutty or freaky, not bad for a keeper, eh Nat?" asked Ruka with a smirk on his face.
"Whatever." I said, trying to look like I don't care. But actually, I do care, but of course, my pride won't come down right now.
After a few moments, a few girls, exactly four girls, started to come inside the coffee shop and surround that girl.
All of us of course noticed this and started to watch. That girl seems surprised, but also glad to see her friends again, because she had that stupid grin plastered on her face. Suddenly, the pinkette whispered something to the rest of them.
O-oh, I got a bad feeling. And it was damn right. All of the girls turned their heads towards us, at the same time. Can you imagine? At the very same time. Damn it was like getting caught off guard. Without any delay, all of us suddenly being interested in our coffee orders and started to look casual.
The bad thing is, I'm still curious about that girl, and fighting the urge to look at her, damn it.
The good thing is, I saw Koko couldn't take his eyes off off the girl with green permed hair.
"Hey Koko, it seems you like that green haired over there a lot," I said with a smirk on my face. Hell, revenge is sweet.
"Wh-what? N-n-no, of-of course n-not !" Koko bursted out and stammered really bad. Hah! Take that! My smirk just got wider, and a blush was slowly creeping out on his face.
After that, the rest of us just continued to tease him all day long, but admit it, I want to see that girl again.

`Mikan's POV`
That was unexpected, those guys were really looking, no, staring at us. Oh God, and they were all good-looking too. But I think I'm still attached to that crimson eyed guy, and it really bothers me a lot, because I keep on stealing glances at him.
"Wow Mikan, you have a great taste in boys. He and his friends are hot!" Permy exclaimed excitedly.
"Haha, you should see you face when you stare at that sandy-coloured-hair guy, Permy! You were like, gagging at him, haha," said Nonoko with laughter in her words.
"Well, I can see you're looking at Inchou too!" teased Permy back.
"Hey, I was not!" Nonoko seemed so embarrassed right now.
"You were, Nonoko! Hahaha!" I added, and laughed together with Permy.
Anna just smiled and Hotaru looked like she won a lottery. "Eh, Hotaru? What are you happy about?" I asked her curiously.
"Did you see the blond guy? He's gonna be a great fortune for my business." Said Hotaru with dollar signs on her eyes.
"Haha, al-alright then," that's the only thing I can said, I feel pity on the blond guy, and what will Hotaru do to him.
Then we started to tease Anna paired up with the fox-eyes guy and then it was my turn to get teased with the raven haired guy. And of course i kept on blushing again and again.
After that, our day was over, it feels so quick, time flies away when you're having fun, right?
By the way, will I see that raven haired guy again? Wait, of course I will, he's in the same school with me. Hmm, what will happen when I saw him? Will he recognized me?
Well, I can figure that out tomorrow, and I'm pretty nervous too. *sigh*. I hope I won't get tongue tied or stare at him al the time. This is really bad, i don't really believe love at first sight. But, maybe, is this what people call love at first sight? Maybe there is a hint of fairytale in my life, eh? Wonder what will happen tomorrow...

Tomorrow will always come, and the lady luck is still playing on their lives.
