Author's Note: I have nothing to warn you except grammar errors.


Innocent Acts


Act 03 – The Girl Called Mikan


The classroom door slide open revealing a happy-go-lucky teacher, Narumi didn't have any second thoughts as soon are he open it, she twirl and waltz in like an idiot, smiling so widely.

"Children! I have good news! We have some new students joining us today!" Narumi blurted happily

"Does he always do that?" Ruka whispered to Mikan who was about to enter the classroom.

"Yup, you can get use to it soon enough." Mikan replied and walked in without saying another word, as soon as Mikan settled down.

"Boys! You can come in now!" Narumi called out. After short moments the room became a jungle.

"Oh My God! It's the real thing!" some girls exclaimed

"No way!" some girls squealed

"Good bye youth!" some boys cried.

"Hilarious." Mikan sarcastically muttered under her breath.

"Silence people! Now, let them introduce themselves." Narumi interrupted, "Go on." He gesture a hand.

"Nogi Ruka, 18, and as you see I'm currently working as an actor." Ruka said with a small smiled plastered on his angelic face.

"Hn. Hyuuga Natsume." That was all Natsume said.

"Alright then. Now, Ruka-kun and Natsume-kun you'll be sitting beside sakura-san." Narumi pointed at the vacant seat beside Mikan and unfortunately everyone's gazes turn to her, but not only gaze but also glares. Mikan sighs and thought only one thing.

"Great. Another reason to Bully me." She thought.

"Tell me we aren't punished…" Natsume hissed.

"Hey! Nerd!" a certain strawberry blonde girl shouted that caught everyone's attention.

"…" Mikan didn't say anything.

"I know you heard me! Why are you still here! Aren't you supposed to be kicked out in this school! My dad took care all of it and said that you're good as gone!" Luna had a furious expression shown on her face.

"Certainly, but sorry to tell you, that your good for nothing plan didn't work on me." Mikan replied calmly, and which made the whole class dumbfounded and thought the same thing.

"Who is this girl called 'Mikan?' but one thing's for sure; this girl ain't just any ordinary girl." And they were very sure of it.

"…" Luna was left speechless.

"Tell me the truth. Who the hell are you? I'm very sure enough that we've meet before." Natsume started to smell something fishy was going on.

"The truth? Well to make the long story short. I'm just your average nerd." Mikan plainly said.

"I see. So you're now playing the innocent type huh?" Natsume smirked trying to provoke Mikan.

"Ha. Ha. Ha. Funny one Hyuuga." Mikan retorted with sarcasm.

"Interesting." Natsume grin. "I know I've heard that statement somewhere before. Coincidence?" he's sharp aright.

"Damn him." Mikan thought, freaking out. "…." She tried to ignore him but he was pushing her on the edge, but thanks to our ice queen, Mikan who was in a pinch made a comeback.

"Hyuuga, Nogi. Stop messing around." Hotaru plainly said.

"…" Natsume didn't replied, "So the great Imai is here, then that means Kana is also studying in this school?" he thought and a small smile suddenly appeared on his face which Hotaru saw and she find it very intriguing.


-At the Roof Top-

"Damn! Why did that stupid father of mine didn't told me anything about them entering this school!" Mikan snapped, as Hotaru watched her best friend going wild, while eating her crab brains.

"You know. This isn't the thing you should focus on. You should better focus on not to be found out that you are actually the 'kana' they idolize so much." Hotaru said, as she scoops a spoonful of crab brains inside her mouth.

"Argh! Yeah, yeah, yeah. Whatever!" Mikan gave-up. Since talking to Hotaru was useless, she knew that she'll always losses in their conversation or argument.

"By the way, Mikan I think Hyuuga got a crush on you, no I mean got a crush on 'kana'." Hotaru said smirk.

"Ha. Ha. Ha. What a very funny joke you have." Mikan said full of sarcasm, she grimace as she look away at Hotaru.

"Anyway, don't let your guards down. Hyuuga's moves are suspicious. Let's go back to the classroom. Jin-Jin might scold us if were late." Hotaru said, as she walked away, Mikan on the other hand nods and followed her.

Few steps away to the classroom, Hotaru gave a Mikan a look, and Mikan understood what she meant and she just nods in agreement. Both of them went different ways, so no one will suspect that them. Hotaru was the first to enter at the first door, as Mikan followed entering the second door.

"Well, well. If it isn't the nerd freak." Luna snickered but Mikan just ignore her, as she proceeded to her seat, but there was still trouble waiting for her.

"Hmm? Peach blossoms shampoo." A raven boy muttered, as he stares at her. Mikan noticed this; she raised a brow and asks.

"What?" Mikan gave him a stoic look.

"Peach Blossoms Shampoo. You're wearing a Peach Blossoms Shampoo." He replied still staring at her.

"What about it?" she replied with curiosity written allover her face.

"Who are you?" Natsume glared in suspension.

"Huh?" Mikan retorted in confusion. "Is this guy out if his mind?" she thought.

"That shampoo you're wearing right now isn't available in the stores yet. Why are you wearing it now!" Natsume's suspicions even raised in a higher level. "I knew it! This girl isn't just an ordinary nerd. And that's not all, the only people who had the sample are Imai, Ruka, Me, and Kana. Isn't that product supposed to be out for next month? Then why? " He thought

"Shit. Why did father give him a sample! Damn! Now I'm toast!" Mikan was freaking out inside her head but she didn't show it to him.

"It's none of you're business. Someone gave it to me as a gift." Mikan fired back.

"Ehh? And who is that someone?" Natsume interrogated her more.

"Uhmm… the person gave it was -" Mikan was cut off by Hotaru.

"I was the one who gave it to her. Since I don't like the smell of that shampoo. And since Sakura-san helped me by my last report it's just normal to gave it to her as a gift. Thou I told her not to tell anyone about that." Hotaru plainly said.

"Tch." Natsume scowled. As he took his manga and used it cover his face, to take a nap. "I'm not giving up. I know that their hiding something." He thought as a broad grin was shown on his face.
