Chapter 3

Beep beep beep

I gently move across my bed when I heard my annoying alarm clock ringing my head off trying to wake me up. I got enough of it so I lazily reached for it and turned it off hard and didn't realize it nearly broke.

'5 more minutes' I murmured and groaned back to sleep.

Alarm clock doesn't work for me even if it was on snooze. Even if it would rang a hundred times I probably wouldn't be able to wake up.

I'm sleeping comfortably on my warm bed and thought how long was my 5 minutes.

After half an hour, I didn't realize that 5 minutes was that long to wake up but then an old man came dashing inside my small room.

"Mikan! Mikan! MIKAN SAKURA! WAKE UP!" said the old man in his 60's while banging a pan and a spatula together creating an ear splitting loud noise inches away from my face.

Anyone would have been awake by such a loud noise like that of a World War 3 is about to start but then I just groaned and move slightly, turning my back from the old man and went back to sleep.

"Didn't you tell me last night that you wanted me to wake you up early if you can't?!"

The old man became impatient and he banged it even more loudly and closer beside my ear.

"Aaaaaaaah! Grandpa! I'm awake. I'm awake!" I screamed, covering my right ear with a pillow feeling that my eardrum had just exploded.

I'm not an early riser, really. Everyone in the orphanage who tried to wake me up would just get kick or scratched by me. I feel sorry for them. I'm trying to stop that habit of me but I couldn't. I can't just give up leaving my bed.

But Grandpa is the only person who does something harsh to me just to get me out of the bed.

"Look at the time you idiot! You're going to be late! You said you have something to do," Grandpa looked so mad and pulled my blanket away from me. It gave me a chill but that made me open my eyes wide.

"Oh crap." 'Work!'

Quickly, I went to the bathroom and brushed my teeth wash myself and changed into my usual get-up. A cap, sunglasses, overlarge t-shirt and baggy pants and a boyish trainers.

"Bye Grandpa. See you later," I said running from the stairs and I stumbled across a toy and fell two steps down. "OOOWWW," Stabbing pain on my foot and worse ever stepped on a lego brick. Sugar! Fvck that toy! I would burn you later.

"Careful, you clumsy idiot!" shouted Grandpa.

First thing in the morning, I'm supposed to deliver newspapers but I guess I wouldn't be able to catch up to it. Stupid me!

Actually Grandpa doesn't even know about my part-time jobs. I'm secretly working because if Grandpa would know, surely he wouldn't let me and stopped me half-way when I'm nearly be able to earn the money for the debt.

As an excuse every evening after school, I'm always saying that I'm at a friend's house even though I don't have one. As much as I don't want to lie, I have to.

I was walking when a suspicious man in black suit suddenly greeted me. I jumped in surprise because the man just appeared out of nowhere.

"Good morning."

"W-Who are you?!" I'm aware of what might happen and became alerted. I started to hit him with my backpack and moved backwards when I think I hit him enough.

I just noticed the black and shiny limousine at the back of him then he went to open the door.

"What are you doing? Come on." A voice said coldly.

I leaned down to see who was in the car. I'm surprised to remember who it was, Imai Hotaru the girl who hired me for a job. To be specific her, the job is to seduce her boyfriend and I don't quite want to accept it but for earning money's sake, I decided to do it.

I looked at the man I just hit. I looked at him with an apologising look.

Since that day I met Hotaru, I've been wondering why I have to seduce her boyfriend. Maybe she's suspecting that he's cheating on her. I'll just wait for her to share it herself.

"Where are we going? It's early in the morning and I still have to go to work." I asked still leaning down.

"Nevermind about that. You need to get ready for tonight," said Hotaru with her impassive face. "Get on. I'll pay your day."

I got on anyway. She said she's going to pay it so I didn't hesitate. I'll just talk to my boss later. Plus you can't see this type of car every day and much more ride in it. I feel amazed. It's such an honour, my lady. Haha. Posh. Prrr, goosebumps. Once I've dreamed about having a princess-like life but I can't even imagine myself living like Hotaru's life. It's impossible.

"Okay. What are we gonna do?" I smiled cheerfully. How stupid I must look being ignorant riding on a limo. It's the first time and I got overexcited.

"You'll see," said Hotaru, no questions asked.

It took 3 hours until we reach our destination from Nojiro (hometown) to Tokyo. I didn't know we had to get on a plane.

By the time we were travelling, I found out a lot about her. She is the first daughter of Imai Electronics, the third leading company in the world. A lady in upper class society and an unreachable girl with an effortless fame. She's a genius in terms of everything especially in inventing.

I saw what Tokyo is like and much different from the town I came from. More tall buildings and fewer trees. No sea but a lot of cars. Not a fresh air but polluted.

It's totally a new feeling and I can't seem to take my eyes off around while we drove off. I can only concentrate on the billboards which show a lot of models and celebrities I've never known. I'm just amaze to see the capital city of Japan.

We went into a house. But not just any house, a mansion with huge gate painted in silver. But I think they are real silver. It must have cost a lot of money and the house. It's like the White House but a bit smaller, I saw on TV news.

"Wow, is this your house Hotaru-chan?" I asked while I looked so amaze by the unfamiliar atmosphere.

The mansion is so massive and they were pine trees and with different varieties of plants. The green scenery surrounding it is so refreshing. The space is so wide as much as our eyes can see. A beautiful landscape. You can't even feel that you're in Tokyo.

"Yes," she said and the driver went to open the car's door. "Come."

I asked myself what are we suppose to be doing here? I have no idea what's Hotaru's thinking because I couldn't read her poker face.

Hotaru lead me to what suppose to be a room with mirrors and hair drying stuffs and make-ups. Two women in uniform were standing by the chair in front of the mirror, smiling at me.

"Uhm..Hotaru? Why exactly did you take me here?" I asked looking around curiously.

"You need a makeover," said Hotaru expressionless and went to sit at the couch which is just at the side.

"Huh?" I looked at her puzzled.

"Well, I can't expect you to seduce my boyfriend looking like that, are you?" Hotaru said referring to my tomboyish or weird outfit.

"Why do I need to seduce your boyfriend anyway? Will you tell me?" I said. I thought she would tell me first without asking but my curiosity didn't last.

"I just want to know if he's loyal to me." She said with a sigh.

"Well, why? Don't you trust him? Is he cheating on you? Isn't he faithful to you?" Still, my talkative side has opened. I can't stop my mouth to say all those questions. I'm too curious but I'm no expert into issues of this kind of thing, I just watch those TV series like Gossip Girl for example.

"I don't think he's cheating on me. I trust him but I just want to make sure." Hotaru turned to the 2 women who were standing there. "Attend to her."

She took out her laptop acted as if she's out of the world and typing so fast.

I think it's a bit stupid but you know even genius can be an idiot about love.

"Yes Miss." The women said at the same time.

They pulled me to a seat not in front of a mirror but facing backwards. They started to take my hat and sunglasses off. I felt four hands on my head doing whatever I don't know. They kept pulling and brushing my hair. I know it's all tangled because I didn't have the time to comb them this morning.

One woman was curling the ends of my hair and the other is painting my face with icky wet stuffs. There were some kinds of different brushes.

After what felt like hours, my face felt a lot heavier than usual and they gave loads of dresses for me to try on.

I saw the two women were mesmerized when I walked out of the dressing room and had fitted the last dress: it's a Mesh Wrap Dress in silver grey uniquely styled bandeau dress, features an asymmetrical mesh wrap which meets at the waist and lays over the top of the shiny satin dress underneath completed with a silver box clutch. And a crystal pendant around the neck added a more glamour look. At least that's what one of the woman said. I don't even know that the dresses have names. I just call them dress if I see one.

I slowly walked while I'm getting use to wearing heels, a Gina Shoes Campari with hand woven Swarovski 'Crystal' diamantes in silver.

After that hundred dresses I tried on and out of balance walking, I couldn't feel anything but exhaustion, if only I'm not worried about the payment that Hotaru will give to me after this.

This is a whole new feeling for me with my hair curled down, a tight short dress and high heeled shoes, so uncomfortable. I saw my face on the mirror. It's a different me. I almost didn't recognise myself.

It doesn't look like the weird boyish Mikan Sakura anymore.

"I guess I made the right choice." Hotaru close her laptop and stood up.

The two women who did my makeover nodded in tears. I heard them said to Hotaru that they couldn't believe that the girl who they first thought was ugly but turned out didn't. It's the first time they felt satisfied with their work.

I just ignored the way they said 'ugly' because I'm quite thankful I have found a different me. I guess I had to do this makeover to get this job accounted into perfection. As well as more convincing.

"Hotaru, is this really necessary?" I looked at her.

"I'm sure you'll do alright." She reassured me.

I sighed.

What have I gotten into? Now I'm feeling more and more anxious as time goes by. I'm curious how Hotaru's boyfriend look like. Why she's doing this to him? It might ruin their relationship.
