Previously:

" But a pervert does stuff when they have bad intentions. You showed me Polka." He said in a calm low voice while I was struggling to get out of his grasp.

" Who would want to show it to you!"

"You did." he said with a smirk

Ugh, this bastard. God, why do I feel it's going to be a loooong year..?

It's been 2 weeks since Natsume and the gang have tried to befriend Mikan but she would just ignore them. She dosesn't have time for friends, love, and Socializing.

So she just kept pushing them away they would normally greet her " Ohayo Sakura-san!" she would simply ignore them or sometimes I would wave.

In reality, she envied them. They had everything she could only wish for: A father, a loving family, good marks without trying, money, and most of all ...

They had time for FRIENDS and LOVE.

But she would never admit it. She shouldn't depress herself because right now she had a more important task at hand:

She needed to do a presentation about herself. Who she is, what she likes ( food, animals, colors etc.), friends, personality, activities, loved ones, family.. and so much more. But there's one problem.

She doesn't know Who she is. What she likes, ( she orders take out, doesn't have time for animals and colors well orange cuz of her name.)personality: No time to discover, activities: Study, friends: none, Loved ones: none, Family her mom.

And so for the first time in her life. She dosesn't know what to write for her assignment. Thankfully she has 2 months their teacher only wanted them to think about their assignment in advance.

But she always finished her assignments on the first day. So why? What's so different about this one? Simple.

It's about herself. Her LIFE. But did she have one in the first place?

She looks at the other kids in her class and.. their so different. they know who they are, what they like, their personality, activities, friends, loved ones, and their family.

She sighed as she continued to think about what to write but.. Right now she's only confused. Why is she so different?

She knows why her mom thinks boys are terrible because of her dad because of what he did.

Because when Mikan's mom Yuka was pregnant with her.. He left them. Yuka think's Izumi was just toying with her after all they never got married but one thing is for sure. He didn't leave Yuka because she was pregnant. Why?

Because Izumi never knew Yuka was pregnant with Mikan he left the day Yuka found out she was pregnant. So when she came back home and found the house empty and a note on the counter top saying "I'm sorry but I'm breaking up with you. I don't feel the same for you anymore."

She was devastated because she really thought it was going to work with Izumi.. But turns out he was just like the rest ... Not only that but he didn't even bother to break up face to face only notifying her with a note.

At first, she thought of aborting Mikan but she just couldn't because it's not only Izumi child but Yuka's as well.

But to protect Mikan yuka would never allow her to date anybody. She wanted Mikan to have top marks because she want's her to be happy and wealthy. So Mikan never really had time for friends.

Recently though Izumi married a celebrity Koizumi Rin. And so he became the step-father of Koizumi Luna.

Mikan's mother told her this story a million times.

Coincidently the principal of the high school division ( The division she's in) is none other than her uncle Kazumi Yukihira. But he dosesn't know that and she dosesn't plan on telling him.

She wouldn't show it but she was depressed. She never got the love of a father, she never even met him...

A single tear came out of her eye but she stopped because she couldn't cry not here. Not now.

But that tear didn't go unnoticed by Hotaru Imai after all she was trying to find way's to aproche her by observing her.

As the bell rang for lunch time they all left the classroom.

Mikan didn't want to have to face the popular group so she went to eat by a beautiful sakura tree.

- Natsume and the gang-

" Hey, where's Sakura?" Koko asked.

"Hmm, maybe she left?" Ruka replied.

" Why would she?"

"Fever or something?"

But unlike the rest of the gang Hotaru had a small idea of where she REALLY is.

"I have some projects to finish. I'll see you guys during class." She said.

"See ya Hotaru/ Imai-san!" They chorused

But Natsume knew better he knew she knew Mikan's location so he followed her the gang didn't mind since it's normal for him.

- With Mikan-

Mikan just finished crying in the bathroom and is now eating under the sakura tree. She was looking at a picture of her father. she sighed as she put it back in her pocket.

It's hard for her since her mother works part time Mikan also has a job. On weekdays she works at a cafe called 'Linda's coffee shop's people there are really nice and it gives a good pay so she dosesn't mind.

she sighed as she started to think about their presentation.

"What are you doing here?" Hotaru said coming from behind the tree

As she recovered from the shock that made her spill her lunch she glared at Hotaru.

" What was that for!" I yelled

" Not my fault. You should be more careful."

' Great there goes my money..' I thought

"20$ for a new lunch." Hotaru offered

" No. I-it's alright." I said with a sigh." Why are you here anyways? And how do you know where I am?"

"I asked you first."

" I- I just needed to think about some things.." That's not lying, right? Since after all, I was thinking about my problems.

"You know if something's bothering you.." Hotaru started. " You can come to us for help.. we are your friends after all."

As Imai spoke those words I felt a wave of guilt washing over me. Never have I ever considered these people as my friends. Yet they think of me as one?

" You think of me as a friend..?" I asked still unsure if I heard correctly

" Yeah. Because we think you need some. You're always all alone studying doing work. You never have fun. hang out and do all the things a normal teenager does." She answers.

" Anyways I should get going. Bye." She said.

I could only stare at her back. ' They think of me as friends? I've never had any..'

"Oi. Little girl." A voice above me said.

"Huh?" I said dumbly as I looked up and saw the person I hated the most with a plastic bag?

"Here." he said throwing me the bad.

He got off the tree.

"Eat it. It's replacement for what you dropped." Then he bent down and whispered to me

" Unless you want to swallow something else?" he said with a husky voice

" No way in hell you perverted bastard!"

I looked at the clock on the wall it said ' 10:45' as much as I wished I could sleep I just can't.

I sighed got up careful not to wake up my mom. I grabbed my coat and left the house hoping the fresh air from a walk would help me sleep.

As I normally do during the end of the day I think about the events that happened at school especially the dumb things I did.

For example: not saying bye to Hotaru

I mean I could have replied instead of just looking at her back not knowing what to do because she called me a 'friend'.

I decided to go to the park but when I got there I saw someone rather unexpected.

"Hotaru what are you doing here?" I asked.

" I couldn't sleep." Eh? So even The Hotaru Imai has sleeping issues from time to time.

" You?" She asked

" Same.."

There was an awkward silence before she said:

" Give us a chance." She hesitated before adding " Please."

I'm speechless. Honestly, she wants me to be their friend that bad?

" I like you."

I kinda took that the wrong way though..

" Not like that you idiot!"

" Mikan Sakura you never had a friend before so do you want to be my best friend? " She asked

Wait wait wait.

I remember she asked me being her friend now she want me to be her best friend me? Me Mikan Sakura having a friend.. No, wait. A BEST FRIEND. And my best friend being Hotaru Imai none the less.

She even said please.

I never had friends before but I have to admit these last phew days. with Natsume's gang. I'm feeling less lonely. Maybe just maybe I could have friends..

"Ok." I said with a smile "Let's be best friends Hotaruuuuu!" I said trying to hug her but she hit me with some kind of gun.

Baka Baka Baka

"What is that?"

" It's my latest invention the upgraded Baka Gun #208" Hotaru explained in a business man( err woman) voice.

" You should get home and sleep. " She told me.

I waved " Bye!"

"Wait."

"Nani?"

"Give the others a chance to.. Let them see you're cheerful and happy side." She said as she left.

'That was .. fun. Maybe Hotaru is right. I'm sure if I work twice as hard I can have friends'

A small smile formed on the brunette's lips as she looked at the starry sky on her way home.
