***********************Ch.2 Meetings

She barely had time to grab her towel as the bathroom door knob started to turn. Mikan was trying to dry herself as fast as possible. But she realized it was impossible so she was wrapped the towel around her and stood there, waiting for the door to open.

When the door finally opened. A girl with deep violet eyes poked her head in. She had short black hair. She had an air of superiority. Mikan thought she was the most intimidating girl she have ever seen. The two girls stared at each other for a tense second, as if they were trying to figure out what the other person is thinking. The air was thick with tension until Mikan decided to break the awkward silence.

"Hi, I'm Sakura Mikan. You can call me Mikan if you want to. I'm your new roommate." Mikan stated. The other girl said nothing. Finally, she said "Let's talk after you put on some clothes. I hope you weren't planning on wearing that towel when you're in the dorm." She closed the door and left Mikan there.

Well, that isn't weirdest way to meet someone, right? Mikan pondered over this. You know what, whatevers, I'm sure that girl is very nice. Mikan finished dry her hair and went to blow her hair dry. Then she put on some thin sweatshirt and some shorts. When she walked out of the bathroom. She was surprised by the sound of the TV. I didn't see a TV earlier. As Mikan got closer to the sound of the TV. The girl spoke.

"Just come over here and sit." She commanded. Mikan obeyed like a gentle lamb. Something in her roommate's tone told her to do what she's told. Mikan sat down carefully, trying not to disturb the girl.

"Since you have already told me who you are. I guess it's time to introduce myself." the girl stated, "I am Imai Hotaru. Call me whatever you what. I saw that you already claimed the top bed so I'll be taking the bottom bed. Cause it's first year here at Alice Academy. I'll show you around and tell you some things that you need to know. If you decide to be my friend and hang out with me. Then I'll help you with your homework only if I felt like it. Otherwise, you can just be my roommate." Hotaru finished calmly.

"O-okay, thank you Hotaru." Mikan replied. Hotaru seem really nice. I should be friends with her so when school starts. I'll at least have one friend. "I'm happy that we can be friends. I never really had friends, I mean, a friend before. You seem really nice so you are now, my first friend."

"First friend. That's ff. That sounds weird. Let's be bf." Hotaru said.

"What is a bf? I have never heard of that. Waaait… That's not boyfriend right?"

"Of course… not. Baka, it means best friends. Okay? Let's be best friends."

"Great!" Mikan beamed. It was a great day for her. She went to the city. Meet a friend. Things were perfect. But then, a thought occurred to her. She tried to ditch the nagging feeling of it. It wasn't going anywhere until Mikan satisfy its needs. "Ummm, Hotaru? Do… do you know where we can eat. I'm starving right now."

Hotaru was happy to see her roommate wasn't Sumire. That girl and her clique. It was annoying when Hotaru was made into an outcast. But, at least she had a few friends. Over the summer, Hotaru made the goal to have more friends. When they told her, she had a roommate, she was excited and nervous. She thought that one more friend would have her achieve her goal. And now,Hotaru was surprised when someone was in her bathroom. I mean, if you went house and found someone in your shower. You have to be pretty surprised. But when she went into the bathroom. Hotaru thought that she had won the lottery. Inside, she found a beautiful young girl with luscious, light brown hair and big orange eyes. She is pretty, Hotaru admitted, pretty like me, or even more. Hotaru was also a beauty. With her startling violet eyes and her short pixie-like hair. She had pale skin that match her hair and eyes. Because of her beauty, many jealous, popular girls had made her into an outcast. Her thought kept on going until Mikan waved her hand in front of her face.

"Ummmm, Hotaru. I'm dying of starvation over here. Let's go eat already." Mikan complained. Her stomach had started to growl loudly while Hotaru spaced out.

Hotaru stopped her thoughts on their tracks. "Fine, Mikan. Let's go eat. Do you have your Food Card. You probably don't. Let's go to the office and get your things first. Then, we'll go eat."

As the two of them walked to the office, they chatted about their interest and how they got into Alice Academy. When Mikan told Hotaru how she was invited to the academy. Hotaru was fairly surprised.

"So Mikan, you are saying they invited you to come to this school?"

"Yeah."

"Do you have any special gifts or do you have the I.Q. of 200? Don't look at me with that confused face. The academy doesn't gives out random invitation. They usually invite someone unique."

"Huh?"

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN HUH? YOU MEAN YOU JUST RECEIVED A RANDOM LETTER ABOUT INVITING YOU TO GO THERE AND YOU DID. WITHOUT DOING ANY RESEARCH WHATSOEVER ON THE SCHOOL?"

"Yeah… Pretty much yeah."

They two continued their bickering. What was unknown that a third person was listening to their conversation.

When the two finally reach the office. Get Mikan's map, uniform, handbook, textbooks, Food Card, and schedule. They went back to their room to drop the things down. By the time, they reach the cafeteria, Mikan was ready to eat any that looked vague edible. As they walked into the cafeteria. Mikan felt like she was in heaven. The food was set up like a buffet. There was all the food Mikan could possibly imagine and more. She immediately got a plate and went to grab all those delicious-looking food. Hotaru had no choice but to follow the brunette as they approached the cashier.

"Mikan, did you have enough money in your card?" Hotaru asked.

"What money?" Mikan replied "I don't have any money. Wait… WE WERE SUPPOSE TO HAVE MONEY. I DIDN'T KNOW THAT! I BARELY HAVE ENOUGH MONEY TO GET A BUS RIDE!"

"Calm down, Mikan. Maybe there was some money that was in the card already."

"Yeah, you're right Hotaru." Mikan went up and scanned her card. "Meal approved." the automatic cashier machine beeped. "Would you like to check your balance?" Mikan replied yes to the machine. The balance on her card surprised her.

"Ummm, Hotaru? I know you said there might be some money but my balance actually had 50000 Yen. Is it normal?"

"Somebody probably paid for you. Maybe your grandfather?" Hotaru was absent-minded so Mikan didn't ask her any more question.

As they finished eating and started to put the dish away. Suddenly a crowd of fangirls started screaming. Mikan turned to see what was happening. A wave of people included her inside. When she finally got out of that crowd of people, she was unaware that a certain boy was heading her way. When Mikan backed away from the crowd, she accidentally bumped into someone and made them drop their food.

"Sorry. I'm so sorry. I was trying to get out of that crowd so I couldn't see you. Sorry I made you drop your food." Mikan muttered under her breathe. So much for a perfect first day. She immediately stooped down and started to clean that mess. But then Hotaru told her to leave it there so the custodian could clean. Mikan looked up and made the mistake of looking into the eyes of the person that she bumped into. As she stood up, her eyes never broke contact with the boy's dark, red eyes.
