Chapter 2

Read and enjoy.

Strangely after bumping into the handsome stranger my day got better. Five minutes after the accident I passed by my friends Anna's family bakery where they were giving free cupcakes samples. Since her family adored me they gave me three free samples and six to take home.

I couldn't contain my excitement as I put down my pizza box and stuffed my face with a chocolate cupcake.

"Mikan, darling calm down, The poor cupcakes are not going anywhere." Anna's mom, stated as she stared at me chugging down the cupcake like water.

I grinned at her as she let out a low chuckle. She was only 48 years old but looked like she could be in her late 20's. She has short dark brown hair and eyes, she is also very tall and curvy. To me she is the best mother you can ever have, she is sweet, understanding and caring everything my mother never was.

While in my trail of thoughts I didn't not notice Anna coming from the back room. But what had really caught my attention was that she had a tray of freshly baked cupcakes with her. Just looking at the incoming cupcakes made my heart flutter in excitement.

" ohh, Mikan your here. You should had told me you were coming I would've made sure we had enough cupcakes for you." Anna yelled happily

"Its okay, im on a diet anyways" I said still looking at the tray in her hands and licking my lips in the process.

"From the look of the pizza box with you and the box of cupcakes I wouldn't really say your in a diet" she said matter ofacttly.

"No, i'm still on my diet"

"I say your not"

"You better know what your getting yourself into Anna 'Darling'." I stated finally breaking eye contact with the tray just as she put it down in front of me. We stared each other down for a good two minutes before Anna decided to retaliate.

"Usually I wouldn't follow your childish arguments but today I feel spontaneous. So you're wrong".

"Am not"

"Are too"

"Am not"

"Are too"

"Girls!. Cut it out you two are no longer five year olds you are grown women so act like it" Mrs. umenomiya pointed out as she retreated into the backroom.

Both Anna and I looked at each other and laughed. Her mother hated us bickering and always makes sure we acted our age.

"That didn't last long" Anna commented.

"Is she having a bad day?"

"I don't believe she is. She is just a bit cranky because Mochu broke the vase she bought from Paris when we went there last year. Remember, me, you, mom, and Nonoko went crazy shopping but the only thing we bought was the dang vase because everything was too expensive."

"Ahh I remember and mochu invited koko and they went missing for two days." I giggled and Anna soon followed after.

"Memories" we both chirped.

Mochu was Annas and Nonoko's oldest brother although he doesn't act like it, and Koko is his best friend. Mochu is only older by two years, he just turned 27 two months ago. Apart from the goofy personality Mochu is just like Mrs.umenomiya. He is tall,kind and extremely good looking. His brown hair went all the way to the bottom of his earlobe and his brown eyes sparkled in the sunlight.

When we were in high school I had an extreme crush on him but after really getting to know him he just got extremely annoying and irritating. Instead of dreaming about kissing and being with him I dreamed about kicking and punching him.

During that time people use to also confuse Anna,Nonoko,Mochu and Mrs.umenomiya for siblings because of they all look alike. But everything changed when we graduated high school and went our separate ways.

Anna who used to be a short girl with long brown hair decided to dye her hair pink because she no longer wanted to be confused as her mother's sister.

"Ugh, it's so annoying.I hate it. Everyone is always asking how my sisters are doing. Sisters? What sisters?ughh. Your so lucky Mi-chan. You were able to go to college outside this forsaken town while me and Nonoko got stuck here." Anna would complain every time I called her to ask how everything was going.

Although we had been living in the same town since we were five the new residents and even the old ones would ask her silly questions. That's why ten days after my call she went and dyed her hair. But she was not the only one. Nonoko, Annas actual twin sister went with her and dyed her hair black just because she didn't want to be the only one getting confused as her mother's sister.

Despite the fact that Anna and Nonoko are twins they don't like doing the exact same things all the time. Nonoko enjoys chemistry and even did her major on it. She now is working in a chemistry lab that looks and researches new types of chemical reactions.

Anna in the other hand went to baking school and is planning to take over their families baking shop. Yet in the meantime she decided to work as a model and earn some money.

Mr.umenomiya and were so proud of them that they paid off half of both Annas and Nonokos school debt. They however are very disappointed n Machu because after getting his PHD refuses to work.

After me and Anna finally calmed down from our fit of laughter Nonoko and Mochu walked into the shop.

"Ohh Mi-chan you're here!" Mocu yelled across the caused me to look away in embarrassment. All eyes in the shop were on me.

"Mochu your too loud idiot" Nonoko yell and soon after a slap was heard.

"Aww, that hurt."

"It was meant to."

"Meanie"

"Shut it"

Anna and me once again erupted in laughter as the arguing siblings approached us.

"Nee, Mi-chan you should had called. I would had brought my chemistry set and showd you this awesome bubble explosion I could do" Nonoko chirped.

"Nonoko,Mi=chan doesn't have time to waste on your useless chemistry experiments. She would rather prefer something more fun and wild" Mochu commented. This made Nonoko fume with anger.

"Mochu you don't have to be so mean. And Nono I would love to see your explosion. Especially the exploting part" I giggled.

It seemed my giggle was contagious since Nonoko,Anna and Mochu followed my lead.

We looked like a bunch of witches doing witchcraft. Everyone around us chuckled.

"Ahh so this is where all the noise is coming from?" Mr.umenomiya who just walked out the back room questioned.

Mr.umenomiya is a 50 year old man who has black hair and light brown eyes. He was also really strict. Every time me and the girls would want to go somewhere when we were younger he would always ask how we were getting there, who we were going with, and at what time we were coming back. But I still consider him a cool dad since he doesn't really asks us anymore. We are old enough.

" Mikan your here! I haven't seen you in awhile. How are you doing? Hows your mom?"

"Nice to see you again too ." I greeted. "Im great. I'm actually finally walking on the runway in next week's fashion show. Ohh and my moms fine, she most likely still at work." I said all this with a big smile in my face making sure he couldn't see thru the lie I spat.

My mom or Yuka sakura is the same age as Mrs.umenomiya but not really a great mother like her. When I lost my father at the young age of 5 my mom became unstable. She became an alcohol and drug addict, this caused me to fend for myself. I would do anything a mother would do. I did laundry, washed dishes, and made meals. All this was going on in my life but I made sure none outside knew what was going on. I kept my personal life separate from my social life.

By the time I was 16 me and my mom had moved in and out of many of her boyfriends houses. Of course they were either addicts like her or sellers. The fact that I lived with addicts affected me in more than one way. I myself got influenced and became one of them.
