Chapter 2: I'm not happy

I woke up to the lunch bell ringing in my ears. I rubbed my eyes to see that I was practically alone in the room with the exception of Hotaru. We got up and headed towards the lunch room. "Mikan, Hotaru." said a voice behind us. We turned around to see a guy with down, slightly spiky hair and dark brown eyes like me. I smiled a huge smile and ran to hug him. "Persona!" I said while clinging to him like a koala bear. "Why hello to you to Mikan." he said. I got off of him and jumped on his back. I wrapped my legs around his waist to stay on his back. "I'm still sleepy so can you give me a piggy back ride?" I asked laying my head on his shoulder. "Sure." he said while putting his hands under my knees to keep me up.

"You didn't sleep well last night did you?" he asked as we walked down the hall to the cafeteria. I sighed, "No. The nightmares kept me up last night." They both looked at me worriedly when I said that. I giggled, "Don't worry so much guys." They turned back around and continued to walk. We reached the lunch room and got in line with me still on Persona's back. "Mikan don't you want to get down so you can get lunch?" he questioned me. "No, I don't have any money to buy lunch anyway." I shrugged. Hotaru stared at me then said, "When was the last time you ate?" "Monday." I replied. Today is Friday so that makes it five days that I didn't eat. "Get extra Persona." she said as we chose our food. I just tightened my legs around his waist as he let go of my legs to carry the tray. We got 2 slices of supreme pizza and 2 water bottles. Hotaru got a tray full of crab roe which made me sick just looking at it.

The lunch ladies were looking at us strangely as we passed by them. We went to the cash register to pay then headed out to our favorite spot. The Sakura tree.

My head was down on Persona's shoulder in a light sleep as we went to the Sakura tree. I heard the faint squealing of girls in the distance, but I ignored it. As we got closer the noise became louder. I lifted my head when we were 10 feet away. I saw girls surrounding the tree, looking up in it. I don't know what their squealing about up in that tree, but they are not allowed at our tree without asking. I stuck my hand out towards Hotaru. "Give me the Baka gun." I said angrily.

I had no sleep, I haven't eaten in five day, and I got slapped around this morning. I am not happy right now. Hotaru silently handed me the gun and I aimed it at the ground. I shot twice as warning shots. Startled, they looked at the ground where smoke came out of two holes in the ground. They looked up expecting to see Hotaru holding the gun, but were surprised to see me.

"Back. Away. From. The. Tree." I said angrily as I glared at them. They glared right back at me. A brave one spoke up. "Why should we?" I glared harder making them flinch, "Because I'm on the back of a 6'3 man, have a gun, and I'm not in the mood." I answered with venom dripping from my voice, making them frightened. They ran away, afraid of what I'll do to them.

I handed Hotaru back her Baka gun and Persona walked us towards the tree. I got off his back and sat down. The leaves rustled above me and two boys jumped down in front of us. It was Natsume and- "Hey! So your Ruka! You look good as little bow-peep, you know." I giggled as he blushed a deep crimson. "I'm Mikan and this is Persona. I'm guessing you're the cause of the girls at our tree huh?" I said. "I'm sorry. Natsume and I were going to lunch when we got chased by fan-girls." Ruka said sitting down. Persona sat down to my right with the tray in his lap and Hotaru sat down to my left with her crab roe.

"Here now eat." Persona handed me a slice of pizza and a water bottle. I unscrewed the cap and drank the water, then I ate my pizza. "You know, I have to warn you about some of the girls around here if you like the faithful type." I said to Ruka and Natsume. "But knowing Hotaru, you don't have to worry about anything Ruka." I smiled at him as I said that. "You, on the other hand, are a different story." I looked at Natsume. "The one person you do not want to date is Luna Koizumi. She cheats on every guy here and you probably just became her number one target to bed. She wears too much make-up anyway." My face screwed up in disgust just thinking about her and her boy toys.

Natsume lifted his eyebrow at me. "Like your one to talk." he snorted. Hotaru shot him with the Baka gun while I rolled my eyes. Persona gave him his death glare.

Persona got up and kneeled in front of me. "Get on. I'll drop you off at your class. You can get more sleep." I hopped on his back and we took off to the classroom.

I had my head resting on his shoulder as we walked the silent halls. "Mikan are you ok?" he asked. I opened my eyes to see his worried face. "I'm fine, Persona." he nodded his head. "You, me, and Hotaru can go to the mall tomorrow. How does that sound?" he questioned. That sounded wonderful, but I don't know how I was going to get there or the fact of if they will let me go. "It sounds good to me , but I don't know how I'll be able to go."

He stayed silent after that. The rest of the day went by in a blur with me half paying attention. Hotaru drove me to her house and I walked home. No car was in the drive way when I got home so I opened the front door with my keys. I looked at the clock that hung on the wall. 4:00 p.m. it read. One hour till they get home.

I set about making dinner. Steak, mash potatoes with gravy, and mixed vegetables. I put the veggies in the steamer and set it for 45 minutes so it can thaw out and cook. I washed the steaks off, set it on the oven, and I set the timer on for 50 minutes. I pulled out 2 potatoes for later.

I went to the table and started my homework. I was almost done when the timer for the steamer went off. I got up to turn the steamer off then I poked holes in the potatoes. Don't worry I washed them. I put them in the microwave for 8-9 minutes. The oven dinged when I finished the potatoes, signaling that the steak was done. I pulled the plates down and put them on the table, setting down silverware besides the plates. I got the steaks out and put one on each plate. I dished the veggies on the plate next to the steaks. I pulled out the potatoes and cut each one open.

I put butter, salt, and pepper on them and used a fork to mash them. I got the gravy bowl from the fridge and heated that up. As soon as I set the bowl down I heard the front door click open. I ran to greet them at the door. "Welcome home m'am, sir." I bowed my head waiting for the slap. They did not fail me. Kokari slapped me across the cheek, sinking her nails into the skin. Daisuki just walked past me and into the kitchen, silently telling me I was going to get worse from him later.

They ate their dinner silently while I was in the corner with my head down. Then they both got up and Daisuki grabbed my upper arm in a bruising grip. He dragged me over to the living room. He through me on the floor and walked away down the hall. Kokari started kicking me all over my body. I was sore all over this morning so it was going to be horrible when I wake up tomorrow.

I was starting to lose consciousness and I could feel the blood running down my arms from the cuts that her heeled pumps made. She suddenly stopped and I thought today's beating was done, but I was wrong. I saw Daisuki walk in with a steel baseball bat. He hit my leg hard and I heard a sickening crack. My eyes widened at the pain shooting through my leg, but before I could make a noise I blacked out.
