Bring me back to life
Chapter 2
Normal POV
"Attention young first graders please quiet down!" says a man as walks into the classroom filled with 20 six-year old's all talking in excitement to one another. He's a thin man who looks really tall, around 6'3, with short brown hair and green eyes, he looks about 30 years old.
"I am excited to see all of your young smiling faces this morning! I am Mr. Fukutan Fujii" he smiles down at the children, "but you are all welcome to calling me Mr. Fuu."
"Before class begins, I would like everyone to take turns standing up and saying their name, their age and something they love to do," the teacher begins to take a seat on his desk.
Soon each child is taking turns standing up and doing what their teacher asked of them.
"I'm Akiko Tanaka, six years old and I enjoy reading" a little redhead girl with glasses says.
"I'm Yuuto Sugawara, six years old and I love to play kick ball!" grins a brown headed boy whose hair sticks out everywhere.
"I'm Sasaki Mori, six years old and I really love to draw!" smiles an orange haired little girl.
"I'm Rico Goto, six years old and I like to play video games!" beams a blue haired boy.
Soon it was a cute little brunettes' turn to stand up.
"My name is Mikan Yukihira, I am six years old and I love to paint with my mommy!"
As soon as all the children have taken turns introducing themselves, the teacher stands up to begin discussing what lessons they will be learning for the school year.
Three hours of lessons later, it was time for recess.
Mikans' POV
I've already made four new friends, I can't believe it, I smile.
"Would you like to play kickball with me," Yuuto asks us four while we are all taking turns using the swings. I can see Akiko debating the idea in her head because she has her finger on her nose making a thinking face, it's cute I smile.
Soon we all agree and begin running around the field trying to take the ball from Yuuto and Rico since it's girls against boys.
Before we know it, Mr. Fuu is blowing a whistle saying it's lunch time, and as soon as I hear that I hear my tummy grumble in response…pretty loudly too.
"Mikan-chan was that your tummy!"
"My stomach sounds just like that when I hear my mom say dinner is ready!"
We all begin to laugh at my loud tummy and run back towards the teacher.
It's 3pm already and the school day has come to an end. I watch as many kids come running out the school towards their parents and some walking home.
"See you tomorrow Mikan-chan" calls out Sasaki as she runs towards her mom.
"I'll bring my favorite book to show you tomorrow Rico!" Akiko waving to him as she walks home.
I'm sitting on the school bench, kicking my feet freely thinking how amazing school is, looking up to the sky I find myself staring at the clouds, that one looks like a horse…oh that's a cat... I feel someone sit next to me and I look down to see Yuuto smiling at me.
"Hey Mikan-chan, me and Rico are going to his house to play some of his video games, do you want to join us?" He asks while tilting his head to the side.
"Rico! Did you ask her yet?" Yuuto yells while running up to us, he has his hands on his knees as he huffs from running over here. I smile at my new friends, "no thank you, I'm just going to wait for my mommy and daddy, they can't wait to hear about my first day" I beam at them.
I find it cute when they both turn a little pink. "That's okay! Another day right!" Yuuto smiles nodding, "we'll see you tomorrow at school!" I smile back at both of them as they run off together past the school.
Mommy and daddy sure are a little late, I begin to look around the front of the school and notice that everyone has left. Oh well, they wouldn't forget me I smile as I continue to play the guessing game with the clouds.
Yuka's POV
"Izumi!" I scream at my husband, it's already 3pm! I forgot that school ends at that time!
I jump onto my sleeping husband who is on the couch and stare at his confused face when he wakes up, I yell "we are late to get Mikan!"
He still has a confused look on as if registering what I just told him and…two seconds later…I'm knocked off him onto the floor as he jumps up running to get the car keys. "Yuka stop hugging the floor, we got to get Mikan."
Baka
Getting into the car and driving towards the school, I look at Izumi who has a face full of regret, I decide to make him feel worse since I'm that amazing of a wife, I grin thinking of something to say to begin his torture.
"Poor Mikan…she is probably waiting outside the school all alone…" I look at Izumi and his face falls, "Mikan is probably thinking 'did my daddy forget about me'..."
I lower the window down, and pretend to shiver, "it's starting to get cold and she doesn't have a jacket…she must be freezing, having to wait outside..." I lied of course, it's not even cold but the look of panic on his face as I say that makes me want to die of laughter.
I let out a cough to cover up my snicker, my husband is too easy to trick.
Mikans' POV
Maybe I should have gone with my two friends to play games. I decide to get up from the bench and walk around the playground and play on the swings. I love when I go higher, I feel like I'm so close to touching the sky, and when I swing back down, I close my eyes, and feel as if I'm falling from the sky, my heart begins to rush, but it's an exciting feeling and when I open my eyes again, I'm back in the sky and so forth. I really love this swing.
A few minutes pass and I hear a car screech sound in front of the school, I run towards the front and see my daddy running full speed at me, tears in his eyes and boogies all over…ewh. I debate if I should hide until he cleans his face but I'm too late.
"MIKANN!" My daddy screams as he sees me, he finally reaches me and engulfs me into a tight hug, "daddy… you're hugging me… too tight" I wheeze in between breaths. My daddy finally realizing he was squeezing the life out of me stops and kisses my forehead.
"Daddy what's wrong?" I ask but look towards my mommy who is shaking her head at my boogie daddy as she walks towards us.
My mommy kneels down in front of me, kisses my head, "We forgot you got out of school at 3 sweetie, mommy and daddy are sorry" mommy says as she rubs my head. I giggle at my parents and it makes me happy that they got worried about me.
"It's okay I didn't mind I was playing on the swing!" I grin at them.
We begin walking towards the car and I begin to tell them all about my first day.
2 months later
Normal POV
"Good morning class! I have a special surprise for all of you!" Mr. Fuu announces to his whole class who all move forward in their seats interested in the surprise.
"We have a new student joining us, and I want all of you to treat them kindly okay, remember how nervous all of you were on your first day, please welcome her to our class" the teacher says smiling down at the students who all nod with understanding since their first day of school was not so long ago.
"He said 'her', so we are getting a girl!"
"I wonder if she is cute…"
"I hope she likes to play kick ball we need more players!"
The whole class begins commenting at the teachers slip up of saying the new student is a girl, Mr. Fuu releases a breath "class please welcome Ms. Hotaru Imai."
A young girl walks in.
Mikans' POV
I stare as the new girl walks in, she has short black hair that cups her face beautifully, when she picks her head up, I'm caught in a trance at her remarkable violet eyes.
She is really pretty…
"Please tell the class something about yourself " our teacher says nudging the new girl to stand in front of the class.
Tilting my head to the side, waiting for her to speak, I happen to catch her eyes as she glances over us. I can't help but smile at her, oof she didn't smile back.
"Hello, I'm Hotaru Imai," she sounds very mature for being six years old…"and I'm invested in developing robotics and such designs." Wow
The class is probably also in shock at the big words Hotaru just said, and cause she acts so adult-like.
"Teacher! What does robotics mean?" one student calls out.
"Ne sensei, what is she talking about?" more students ask finally.
I find myself blocking out the classes remarks and just stare at Hotaru, until I hear someone say something that makes me upset causing my head to jerk towards that person.
"She sure doesn't smile huh, maybe she has ugly teeth, eh new student?" one girl whispers who has a smug look on her face.
The class has gone silent as we turn to stare back at Hotaru expecting her to say something, but instead she says, "Mr. Fukutan Fujii, which seat will I be assigned to?"
The teacher not knowing how to approach the situation just points to a seat next to me, and Hotaru just walks down the aisle until she has reached the seat beside me.
Why hasn't sensei told that mean girl to apologize, I huff in annoyance.
"Gomen children but I forgot my lecture book in the teachers' office, please behave until I get back," Mr. Fuu walks out and as soon as the door closes, everyone begins talking to each other excitedly.
"Hello, I'm Mikan Yukihira" I smile at Hotaru who just turns her head, her expression is emotionless, she then turns around and grabs something from her backpack.
Is that a screwdriver and a strange box? I'm fascinated watching her work on that weird shiny box, she is really amazing ne…
"Oi new girl, what are you doing, that looks dangerous, you better stop" that mean girl says as she tries to grab the screwdriver forcefully from Hotarus' hand. Before I know it, the mean girl is on the floor and Hotaru is untouched not bothered with that happened…wow so cool!
"You shouldn't have done that!" the mean girl screeches as she raises her hand, she is going to hit her! By now the whole class has stopped what they were doing and staring at the commotion the mean girl is causing.
It all happened so fast really…I saw the mean girls hand fly down towards Hotaru…and next thing I knew I was standing up and pushing the mean girl onto the floor.
"Mikan-chan…"
"Wow Mikan-chan saved the new girl!"
"Was that girl really about to hit the new student!"
I look down at my hands that shoved the girl and turn to stare at Hotaru who is looking back at me with widen eyes.
"Hello class! Sorry for taking so—Mari why are you on the floor?" (oh, so the mean girls name was Mari…)
"Sensei…" Mari says crying while running to Mr. Fuu, "Mikan pushed me on the floor!"
WHAT SHE WAS THE ONE BULLYING THE NEW STUDENT, SHE CAUSED IT.
I see my teachers' eyes fall on me and he looks upset…"Mikan" is all he says and points to me, indicating me to follow him outside…I sigh and get up from my chair.
"Mr. Fukutan Fujii," its Hotaru!
"Mikan Yukihira was only standing up for me, that student-" she points towards Mari, "was about to cause physical harm onto me and so Mikan only stopped that girl from accomplishing that."
Hotaru's eyes are gleaming while she stands up beside me and pats my head, "She didn't do anything wrong."
Smiling brightly at Hotaru for standing up for me, I give her a hug, but she just pushes me away, phooey…
"Ms. Yukihira, is this true? You were only protecting Ms. Imai?" I nod my head as my teacher smiles down at me and thanks me for helping the new student.
His eyes turn down to Mari who was once holding onto the teachers' leg crying and now backing away slowly with wide eyes, ha ha.
"Ms. Mari, please accompany me to the teachers' office while we talk and make a phone call to your parents," says Mr. Fuu leading a scared Mari away.
As the door closes, everyone gathers around me and Hotaru in awe of both of us.
"Wow Hotaru-chan you stood up for Mikan-chan!"
"Mikan-chan that was so cool how you stopped Mari from hitting the new girl!"
I feel very happy and tell everyone it was no worries and laugh with them about what had happened.
I look at Hotaru and smile towards her.
Hotarus' POV
Baka…she helped me, and she doesn't even know me.
I look over at Mikan who is smiling back at me, her smile is very bright…her eyes shine too…hmm, Mikan Yukihira huh…
6 months later-MAY
Mikans POV
School ends in one month, wow time flew by pretty quick. Me and Hotaru became best friends ever since her first day when I defended her, and she defended me back.
Mommy and daddy let me have Hotaru come home with us on some days and on other days I get to spend the night with her family. Even when it was my 7th birthday back in January, Hotaru stayed the night with me while we popped fireworks to celebrate the new year and my birthday.
Hotaru didn't make it easy in the beginning to be her friend, she would usually ignore my hugs or not talk to me, but I soon discovered that she does care, she shows it way differently than other people, I can't help but smile at how I've made a friend like this.
"Ne Hotaru, since tomorrow is Saturday, can I come over to your house for a sleepover" I ask her at recess. When we are at recess, she doesn't like to run around like all the other kids do, she would usually sit inside the class, so I made a deal with her that if she came outside during recess, I would push her on the swing, and she agreed as long as I did all the work, I don't mind though, I can't help but chuckle about it.
"No."
"Awe Hotaru pretty please, I promise not to go in your invention room again" I plead while I'm pushing her.
"Baka I already told you no."
I stop pushing and pout, "why not."
"Get back to pushing, remember our deal, unless you want me to go back inside and leave you."
"Phooey" I go back to her pushing her, "Hotaru, how come I can't?"
"Noisy girl, I said no because my parents are taking me out of town for a surprise that they won't tell me about" I can tell it bothers her that she doesn't know what the surprise is cause she sounded annoyed.
"Okay Hotaru, maybe another time!" I giggle and continue to push my best friend on the swing.
Hmm I wonder where Hotaru will be going this weekend... :3
Thank you for reading my lovelies! 3
