Authoress' Notes (1/2)

Sooo… I know I haven't really uploaded in a REALLY long time and for that, I deeply apologize my dear readers. Actually, this fic was supposed to be updated a long time ago (last month) but I hesitated since I don't really know what's happening in . All these BETA readers… I don't know what I should do (and what they do). I guess it's my fault because I don't actually read the news here. Yup, I'm guilty your honor. Although now, I don't care anymore since I'm so touched that people actually put this fic in their alert list. I am truly touched. :(( So if someone out there can explain me what I should do then please give me your words of guidance.

Chapter 2 – Mr. Bear…?!

"Ok class! Please sit down. We're about to start the lesson for today." Mr. Narumi said while he entered the classroom. He looked at his class and noticed that a certain somebody wasn't there.

"Mikan."

"Yes?"

"Where's Hotaru?"

"O-oh! Hotaru-chan just left… through that window… over there." Mikan pointed the window that Hotaru used as an exit.

"I see… Why?"

"Ummm… I'm not really sure. Ehehehe…" Mikan laughed nervously and scratched the back of her head.

"Huh? That's weird." Mr. Narumi let it go and sighed. He noticed a piece of paper lying on the floor.

It was Hotaru Imai's picture.


Northern Forest – Where Hotaru is.

(Hotaru's POV)

Sigh.

What a bad day. First, my precious lab and second, that stupid picture. What can be worse than this? I stopped my scooter and took out the picture.

Wait.

There's no picture.

I checked my pocket, my bag, my secret compartment but it wasn't there.

Sigh.

I started the engine of my scooter but it won't start. Is it out of gas?

Sigh.

I stand corrected. This is the worse. How am I going to get back? Damn this is the worse day in the history of my whole life.

RUSTLE.

What was that?

I looked at my left and then my right. I looked behind me and saw something moving behind the bushes. What is it this time? A bunny perhaps?

RUSTLE.

Sigh.

I'll just walk. I'll leave the scooter here and get it tomorrow. I bet my feet are going to kill me once I get back.

RUSTLE.

(Third Person's POV)

Hotaru turned around again and saw…

Mr. Bear.

"H-how? Mr. Bear's house is…"

"!!"

She didn't have time to finish her sentence as Mr. Bear started chasing her.


Back at the Classroom –

Mr. Narumi picked up what he thought as a piece of paper and turned it over.

Then he started screaming like a love-struck girl with sparkles in his eyes.

"KYAAAA! Who is this charming little girl?" He asked nobody in particular. Sumire raised her hand; obviously she knows who it is. "I believe that would be Imai, sir." She said like she knows everything.

"Hotaru Imai? The Hotaru Imai?!" He said like he's seen a guy who has two heads. "I-I can't believe it. Hotaru used to be this cute? It such a shame that she turned into an emotionless and blackmailing girl." After saying all that without thinking of the consequences he sighed.

The class nodded and sighed as well.

Mikan stood up and said, "U-ummm… Mr. Narumi can you give me the picture please? I think that Hotaru will be really mad at me if I don't give her picture back. So if you don't mind…"

"I'm sorry Mikan." Narumi bowed his head. His eyes hidden by his bangs. His expression is unreadable.

"Eh?"

"I'm going to borrow this picture for a while!" With that, he dashed out of the room leaving a trail of dust behind.

"W-wait! Mr. Narumi! Where are you going? Come back!" Mikan screamed at the top of her lungs. Her voice echoing through out the academy.


Authoress' Notes (2/2)

I know it's short. Forgive me. I feel like I'm harassing Hotaru. Please don't forget to review. Also thank you for reviewing in the previous chapter, MikAnnAtsumel0ver, Mariessa29, -happy-neko- and Sherly. See you next time! Here's a little preview so you'll look forward to the next chapter.

Preview of the next chapter:

"C-can you repeat that Koko?" He asked with a really worried look on his face.

"Thousands. A Thousand copies." Koko said and deadpanned.

"WHAAATT??"
