It was her first day of her high school years at Gakuen Alice when Imai Hotaru was working on 'The Guy Crusher: prototype number one'. A customer had ordered it for her cheating husband and expected it fully functional by the end of the school year.
'I still have loads of time to get it perfect' the wide-awake seventeen-years-old girl thought as she looked at the fingernail watch she'd created last week '6:52'. She sighed and then left the room, ready to brace another predictable day in her repetitive class.
"Hotaru-chan" her best friend exclaimed as she ran towards her in hopes of a hug.
'Baka, baka, baka'
"Ouch. Hotaru, you meanie. Why'd you do that?" Sakura Mikan (and just in case you have the same IQ has her, she is the previously mentioned best friend) cried out after being hit by the latest in Baka Gun technology.
Hotaru hid her smirk with a scowl, ". . . because as I've told you a million times, dummy, I don't want your idiot germs to contaminate me".
Mikan never realised that this was the only way she knew how to express her love . . . well maybe she did when it came to Hotaru's boyfriend; Nogi Ruka. "Go bother your boyfriend".
Mikan was dating the notorious Hyuuga Natsume (of no relation to Hyuuga Hinata and Hyuuga Neji from 'Naruto'), resident special star and dangerous ability student. "But Hotaru . . . ."
"Just do it Mikan" hearing her best friend saying her name was a rarity for her so after screaming in delight and getting bruised from one of Hotaru's inventions, she left to bug Natsume.
