Strange Encounters and First Day of School
"You perverted boy! How dare you peek at my panties! Ugh I am so angry!" I've been saying stuff like this for about fifteen minutes while the others were looking amused.
" ..a lot Natsume, really thanks. The first time I make a friend that doesn't know who you are and you go and do something like this! Unfreakinbelievable," Aoi was shouting at the perverted panty peeper. It turns out the sweet and caring Aoi has a monster for a brother. Finally I calmed down and closed my eyes and thought of a happier place. A place filled with Holowans. Now that was a very happy place.
"Hey are you alright Brown Eyes?" a boy with sandy spiked hair and brown eyes asked. Now that I calmed down I noticed that there was a group of boys with us too. This guy was cute too. Huh I wonder how perverted boy has friends.
"My name is Mikan Sakura and I think I'm alright," I told him while Natsume smirked at me. Gosh the nerve of him. My anger was starting to come back now at the way he smirked at me and I guess Anna and Nonoko could see me getting ready to argue again so the both put their hands over my mouth as I was mumbling loud voice. Hotaru just muttered about "idiot" while Sumire was lying on the bench with a dazed look one her face from when Natsume nodded at her.
"See you ruin everything nii-san. Ugh!".
"It's not my fault Polka Dots should watch where she's going".
"But you didn't have to comment on her underwear".
"Whatever, its not like she's much to look at", Natsume smirked. Ohoho, I'm not much to look at huh?,
"Sorry Aoi-Chan but I'm going to kill your brother."
"Be my guest," she said with a resigned look on her face. Just as I started walking to him a loud shriek pierced the air and a blonde streak came out of nowhere and clumped Natsume. I saw him raise his hand as if something was going to come out of his hand but Aoi shook her head at looked at me. Natsume sighed and pushed what I now realized was a girl.
"Luna".
"Natsume-kun, where did you go I was looking all around for you but I couldn't find you. But now everything is all right because I Luna Koizumi is-BANG- and Luna went flying into the bushes. I looked towards Hotaru to see that she had her Baka Gun out and pointed in Luna's direction. The girls including Sumire who had apparently woke up looked at the bushes Luna fell into with amusement mixed with disgust especially Sumire who if she was a cat her fur would be all over and making weird noises which was what she was kind of doing.
"Um, who is exactly Luna?" I asked not wanting to be out of the loop.
"That is a disgusting fan girl who started another Natsume fan club after I wouldn't let her join," Sumire said with a furious look on her face.
"You made a fan club for this pervert. Wow you must be really bored," I remarked though when Sumire turned to me with a glare I decided not to comment on that.
"But who exactly is she?" But another person answered in a high-pitched nasally voice.
"I am the leader of this school(this received many scoffs) and Natsume-kuns future wife(and this received glares and rude gestures of the hand) and I am not your worst nightmare for calling him a pervert you skank," she declared while pointing a finger at me. I have had enough it's been a long day and no way was I going to be called a skank.
"Ok first of my name is Mikan Sakura. Second it's rude to point and who are you calling a skank. I mean look at what you're wearing a way too tight and small skirt and the tight shirt that shows everything. Trust me you are so not a small. And lastly my worst nightmare is seeing your face this up closed," I finished with a scathing look. "It was nice meeting some of you(pointed looks at Natsume and Luna) but I think it's time to leave."
The girls all nodded their heads but not before Luna placed her hand on my arm and smiled evilly. Everybody looked worried for a second but then Luna's smile faded and she looked scared. Aoi then grabbed my hand and took off with the others behind. By the time we made it onto the bus we were all out of breath.
"Mikan is there anything, you need to tell us," Sumire asked worriedly. I froze, could they know that I was a princess but there was no way. I mean I didn't do anything to tip them off did I? Even though I was now best friends with them could I really trust them to keep my secret? Ugh, this is why I am so honest and open.
"Um, I know I probably should of told you guys sooner, it's just that I've really had to tell anybody."
"Hey it's all right it's not like we asked. It's just nobody told us what you are," Anna said.
"Well," I started off confused, " How could you know I never told anybody that I'm royalty." This earned gasps and even Hotaru looked shocked. "I mean isn't that what you were talking about?". But then I realized in horror that's not what they were talking about all. The bus pilled to a stop and I started getting ready to run when a hand gripped my wrist.
"What are you talking about and tell us the truth. No more secrets," Hotaru said in a calm voice, I gulped nervously, it was time to tell them the truth.
"…and then I met you guys and well you know the rest," I said not looking at them. We had walked to the dorm in silence. Anna made some tea for all of us as we sat down and listened to my story. There were few interruptions and only at the part where I told them all about my family.
"So um, ya that's it," I told them when they didn't say anything.
"So you're saying you are a runaway princess that wanted to live a normal life," Hotaru blunt said. I nodded my head and took a sip of my tea. "That has got to be the worst cliché ever," she said cracking a tiny smile. I sighed in relief, this was going better than expected.
"Holy Corn Nuts, you're a princes. I'm talking to a princess. I"-SLAP- and Permy goes down for the count as Nonoko covers her mouth with her hand. Aoi and Anna just chuckled. I guess I really could trust them. Then I thought of something. If they weren't talking about me being a princess earlier then what were they talking about?
"Hey guys what did you mean on the bus when you asked what I was?" I asked. The room quieted down instantly. Hoaru exchanged glances with Aoi.
"Sorry Mikan-chan but were not allowed to say," Anna replied apologetically.
"But what about the whole ,No more secrets, huh?" I said my voice getting louder.
"It's not our place to tell," Hotaru said looking me straight in the eye," Now go to sleep Princess you've got wake for school tomorrow."
We all said our goodnights and went to our rooms. As I got ready for bed I thought to myself, What other secrets could there be? I shook my head all this worrying will have to wait. I looked at the view the moonlight was reflected on the lake. Such a beautiful place. How could there possibly be secrets here. I just hoped my parents weren't worrying was my last thought before sleep overcame came me.
Somewhere off into the distance…
"I want my daughter found now. Where on earth could she of gone?" a beautiful older brunette asked not really listening. Her family surrounded her as she paced.
"I told you an arranged marriage wasn't good," a good looking teen with black spiky hair and a tattoo of a star under his eye said. His father glared at him, usually King Izumi had a easy going attitude but then again it's not everyday your only daughter goes missing.
"Izumi, you don't think that *they* found her do you? Because without us protecting her you know what will happen," Queen Yuka said still pacing. Izumi placed a his hand on her shoulder and she stopped turning into his embrace.
"Yuka you knew it was only a matter of time. We knew that we would have to tell her someday. I mean we already told Tsubasa and Yoichi and he's younger than Mikan," he pointed out to her nodding at his sons. Tsubasa, the one with the tattoo and Yoichi with gray hair and teal eyes were the only sons of the King and Queen. While Tsubasa showed how much he cared about Mikan and was loud and friendly, Yoichi usually was quiet and had a dark sense of humor at times. The young prince deeply loved his sister even though he didn't show his emotions very well.
"Mom if you want, me and Yoichi could go and try to find her," Tsubasa offered. "We know all the places she hangs out."
"There is no way I am going to let my only sons out there. *They* already know you exist and I cant have them take you away." And with that Yuka had made up her mind. She knew what she had to do.
Sunlight poured into the room form the window waking up Mikan. She yawned and started getting up when she smelled something delicious. She let her feet drag her off as the kitchen came into view.
"Ohayou Mikan-chan. I hope you like chocolate chip pancakes," Ann chirped to me. All I could do was nod my head and sit down. Then I realized that it was only Anna and me.
"Anna-chan , um where are al the others?" I asked.
"Oh, they went down to get our schedules. They usually garb all of ours. Hotaru got impatient when you wouldn't wake up so Sumire and Nonoko-chan accompanied her down stairs. And Aoi went out for a jog." She replied as she set down the pancakes in front of me. I grabbed the syrup and soaked the pancakes in syrup. The Permy, Hotaru, Sumire and Aoi cam bursting through the door. Sumire's eyes had glazed over as she sat down at the kitchen table and sighed.
"Oh, Sumire saw my brother smile at me and well she's been kind of like this the whole time," Aoi explained when she saw my worried and confused look. Oh, so she saw the panty peeper pervert. Hey three P's. He's the PPP. Hehe.
"So you guys got the schedules," Anna asked as they sat down and started eating. They then passed our schedules around and as I passed Nonoko's schedules to he I saw at the bottom: Technical Class: Chemistry.
"Hey Nonoko what does Technical Class and Chemistry mean?" I asked. As I looked at the other schedules I saw they all had something similar except for me and Aoi.
"Well you see, it's for people who, um excel really well in a certain subject," she said not meeting my eyes as did the others." Oh hey look you have Jinno-sensei for math. That sucks," she said changing the subject. As we all went over the schedules I noticed a difference between them and m. They all had on their day clothes on. We only get to wear our day clothes on certain days and wear the school's uniform ever other day.
I stuffed the pancakes own my mouth and ran to my room. I was so glad I got my outfit ready the night before. I put on my favorite black tank top, my white cropped tee that said in black lettering Adore, skinny jeans, and my black Chuck Taylor's. I put on a dap of lip gloss and some mascara when I finally took a look at my hair. I shrieked in horror and the girls came into my room. When they saw nothing was dangerous was in the room Hotaru shot me with her Baka gun.
"What's wrong idiot?" Hotaru asked.
"I don't mean to sound like a self-centered person but my hair. It's, it's, it's terrifying," I wailed. Sumire and Aoi just shook their heads at me and pushed me on my computer chair I placed at the mirror. My hair was tangled together and sticking up all over the pace. It was defying gravity.
"Just close your eyes and we'll fix this," Aoi said soothingly. I nodded my head and within minutes it was don. I looked up at my reflection and gasped. They had straightened my hair out and had mad it look all shiny and healthy looking. "Oh and here," Aoi grabbed a skinny satin bow headband and placed in my hair. I smiled in excitement and hugged my friends. I looked fine but I knew something was missing.
I went over to my jewelry box and pulled out my birthstone necklace. It was garnet and in he shape of a heart and I wore it everyday. I smiled again in satisfaction and walked out of the dorm with my friends. Luckily I had \ Aoi in my first class which was singing which was taught by Reo Mouri who according to Sumire "was to die for' but she says hat about a lot of guys.
"Mikan maybe I should tell you that though Reo is lazy, he's a really good singer and likes to make us sing a song if you are new. And you only have an hour to make it up. The whole class will be watching, but hey no pressure." I swallowed noisily as the class door cam into view. The teacher still wasn't here even though the bell had rang ten minutes ago. The class was pretty friendly and welcoming except for one thing or should I say person.
Luna Koizumi was in this class. Start the funeral march. As soon as I walked din she gave me such a glare the words" if looks could kill" and if they could I'd be dead. Finally the teacher walked in. he was good looking with purple eyes and brownish red hair. "All right sit down. Mikan Sakura is new and she will have to sing her own song as a standard tradition," he said not really looking at us as he scrolled through his music.
When he did look up his eyes narrowed on me. He seem to mumble something like," looks just like her" but I couldn't hear clearly. "So Mikan Sakura you have until the end of class so hurry up. I don't want to spend my whole day waiting," he said but he muttered that at the end. He put his sunglasses on and his earplugs in his ears.
A loud nasal laugh pierced the room. "As if Sakura can sing. Please it's not like it matters how good you sing. Everybody knows I'm the best singer," Luna said in a smug voice.
"Oh it's you. Weren't you that girl that rejected by Hyuga yesterday," I though out loud acting dumb. She narrowed her eyes at me and began to open her mouth when
"Just shut up already Koizumi. Just because one teacher says you sigh good doesn't make you the best, witch," Aoi said narrowing her eyes at Luna as she looked away. "Don't worry Mikan-chan you'll do fin. Just concentrate and put your headphones on. That's what always calms me down. Keep your head up high, Kay?" Aoi said to me smiling in encouragement.
Then I thought about what she said and I widened my eyes when a song hit me. I started writing down the lyrics before I forgot. I was going to prove that I could belong her.
What is up peoples. I'm Back! I know I haven't updated in what 4 or 5 months? But never fear Underdog is here! Well not exactly, I kind of went kind of emo and I was depressed like the medical kind. It runs in the family. So I just felt like I couldn't do anything.
