"Hotaru, where are we going?" I asked Hotaru and she only turned her head to look at me.
"Don't call me Hotaru, its still Imai for you."
I puffed my cheeks as she smiled, "You know that you look immature like that?"
I looked at her with my hazel eyes and muttered, "My mom has told me about it around ten times."
"Then she is so right. At the principal's office, was it your mother and father?"
"No, they are my grandparents; my parents are in Germany for two months."
"Wow, I have been there two years ago with Sumire, Nonoko and Luna. Berlin was really awesome city, I saw around twenty punks and ten Goths in there."
"Um, who are Sumire, Nonoko and Luna?"
She slowly stopped at one of many school's hallways. "They are my best friends, but Nonoko… she fooled Sumire and now she's together with Sumire's crush, so, she's not our friend anymore."
"Oh, my, I didn't know."
Hotaru looked at me. "Of course you didn't know, dummy."
"Hey, don't call me dummy just because you have just seen me for more than -"
"For more than fourteen minutes. Now shut up, we need to search for Nogi."
"Why are you calling him with his last name?" I raised my left eyebrow but Hotaru just looked at me with her will-you-shut-up-soon look. "Okay, I'm shutting up, thanks for your attention."
Hotaru only smirked at me and said, "You're weird."
"A lot of people says that to me." I answered and gave her my hand.
"Oh, no, this time you will run all by yourself. I'm not going to drag you, you're too fat."
My eyes widened up and my mouth made an 'O'.
"Am I fat?" I looked at her with wide eyes. A lot of people had told me that if I continue to eat sweets, I'll be fat, but no one had said it in such a bad way.
Okay, I would accept the fact I was a chocolate freak; I loved everything that was made with chocolate. I loved Snickers or Mars, and Tupla and Milky Way Chocolate. Had you ever tasted 3Bits? There were this three ingredients… chocolate, cookie and caramel…
"Yup, and right now you're drooling, can you stop thinking about chocolate?" Hotaru asked and started to walk closer to stairs. "Look out, idiot, you're going to trip at the steps." She smirked at me. "Oh, at 11:00 A.M in the school's hall our school will give you- well, all newbie, a concert."
"I'm not going to trip over these steps. And okay, I'll try to not miss that concert," I said optimistically and put one leg to the first step, "see, I'm not tripping over it." I smiled and put another leg to second step, not looking up.
"Sakura, look out-" that was all I heard before seeing stars in front of my eyes. They were rolling and rolling and rolling, the last thing I heard was, "Koko Yume, at last I find you."

The clock was clocking non-stop. I wanted to hit or broke it. It disturbed my sweet sleep.
Talking about sleep, why the heck was I sleeping at the school's nursery room's bed?
My eyes opened. I was feeling dizzy, my mood wasn't bad and I was inside some freaking nursery room.
I sat up in the bed, the sun was dancing on my messy brown hairs, and my eyes stared at the blanket. I wanted to sleep more. I turned my eyes to meet the annoying clock. It was clocking again, the one, tiny but in the same time the large arrow was at forty and the fat and small arrow was at close to eleven.
'Wait a minute,' I turned my head and came face to face with the super-duper-annoying clock. It was already 10:40 A.M.
"You're going to meet your class today; it's going to be around 11: 40 A.M, till that time one of our school's students is going to show the school's campus."
"Oh, at 11:00 A.M in school's hall we will give you, well, all newbie a concert."
"Oh-my-God." I gulped down a part of my saliva and started to search for my shoes. After finding them, I slipped my foot into it and started to run to the nursery doors.
After stepping in the hallway, I started to search for a direction to the hall.
'Wait a minute,' I thought, stressed, 'I don't know where school's hall is.'
My heart started to beat faster; my legs took me to some direction. Soon, I started to hear several noises.
'Whoever they are, they're going to help me.' I smiled and ran down the stairs. Then I was in front of 'For all new students' room. Well, that was what the sign said.
I put my fingers at the cold door knob and pushed it down to make active the small mechanism that was at this kind of doors. When I slowly opened the doors, I could feel th cold wind crossing my skin. And in the room I saw thirty people, including some emo's, punks, goths and normal people like me. I slowly found the closest free chair and gracefully sat on it.
"Welcome new students to Andrean High School," said the really-high-volume at the speakers. "I hope you're going to enjoy your time here, but first we are going to show you some singing and dancing performances."
Even thought the room was dark, I could still hear some yells and girls-screams. 'Why are they screaming?' I asked to myself.
"As I can hear, you know really good LSH and The Darkness Warriors."
'What the hell are LSH and Bloody Lovers?'
"And as for now, I'm presenting you the LSH!" My ears started to hurt from everyone's yells and screams.
"Can they shut up?" I asked to girl who was sitting at my right side.
"No, that group is one of the most famous bands at Andrean High School, there are rumors that they are lesbians, no one believes in it, thought."
I looked at the girl; she had black hairs and blue eyes. Her nose was small and cute. Her lips were in a cherry color, probably a lipstick. I could never use a lipstick, my mother wouldn't allow it. She herself never uses lipsticks, mascara and perfumes. She believed in nature beauty when I believe in cosmetic beauty.
Sometimes it was hard to believe that I was Sakura's Yuka's child. She was always optimistic when I was a pessimistic. She's always cheerful when I'm angry. She's happy when I was in a sad mood. We never had the week in the same time. We loved different styles of clothes and music. And the list went on and on.
But let us faced the reality, if my mom was my best friend, wouldn't it be creepy? She would always listen to my music, buy my favorite jeans and skirts, and become emo at the same time when I am.
No, I loved our difference.
"And now," everyone except me and the girl at my right side stated to yell, "Luna, Sumire and…"
"What's your name?" I asked and looked at the black haired girl.
She only smiled. "Sharada Kerman and what's your name?"
"Mikan, Mikan Sakura, its pleasure to meet you." I smiled at her.
"Its pleasure to meet you too but I'm not-" I couldn't hear what she said because speakers started to yell, literally.
"And now, please welcome LSH with warm applauses."
"Shh, I want to see the performance first, you can explain everything after this song."
"Okay, but I warned you." I ignored her last sentence and started to gaze at the stage.
There I saw one blond haired girl, she was wearing black mini-miniskirt, black t-shirt and black high heel shoes. She looked beautiful; her blond hairs were tied in one ponytail.
She waved her left hand at the crowd and smiled. "Welcome to Andrean High School," she yelled at her microphone, "I hope that you're going to enjoy your time here, study well and maybe in the future you can make a band too." There were few yells and screams.
"And now, we hope that you're going to enjoy our newest song," I heard another girl's voice.
"This song is presented for one girl from your crowd," Now I heard some familiar voice, I gazed at the third girl, her hairs were black and her top was violet.
"One, two, one, two, three, and four…" The brown and black haired girls started to play the song and the blonde haired girl stepped one step closer to crowd. She held a microphone at her right hand.
Play at YouTube song "Sharada" by Skye Sweetnam
Once upon a time there was a girl
You really wouldn't call her typical
Had her own definition of cool
She lived in her own world
She had her own style, her own rules
She played along like it was usual
Nobody really even knew her name
Her life was one big game
She got her head in the clouds
Sharada, Sharada
Don't know when she'll come down
Sharada, Sharada
She can't get to bed
Sharada, Sharada
She's got this song stuck in her head
(her head, her head, song stuck in her head)
Dreaming all day
That's all she did
Ever since she was a little kid
All the teacher's thought that she was slow
She was just dreaming about her show
And when they told her she's delirious
She didn't care
She's just oblivious
She likes to make everyone curious
One day she's gonna be famous
She got her head in the clouds
Sharada, Sharada
Don't know when she'll come down
Sharada, Sharada
She can't get to bed
Sharada, Sharada
She's got this song stuck in her head
(her head, her head, she's got this song stuck in her head)
The blond haired girl started to clap her hands and soon everyone, even me, started to clap our hands.
Sharada, Sharada
She got her head in the clouds
Sharada, Sharada
Don't know when she'll come down
Sharada, Sharada
She can't get to bed
Sharada, Sharada
She's got this song stuck in her head
(her head, her head)
She got her head in the clouds
Sharada, Sharada
Don't know when she'll come down
Sharada, Sharada
She can't get to bed
Sharada, Sharada
She's got this song stuck in her head
(her head, her head, her head, her head, her head)
Everyone were applauding them, there were loud yells and screams. It seemed that people liked their newest song.
I turned my head to meet Sharada's blue eyes, she was gazing at me. "This song was decided to me," she said and turned her head to the stage. "Luna Koizumi was my best friend, we were the unbreakable trio, me, Luna and Sumire. Then, they found out that they are having talents at singing and guitar playing. I was only good at computer games and violin. I always wanted to be famous, but I couldn't be because my parents weren't that rich."
I looked at Sharada with respects and painful look. I knew what she meant with the richness, I was having really hard time studying at Drebal High School, they were 'The Mean Girls' group who liked to tease me at younger grades just because I was wearing the same t-shirt at every sport lesson.
"Soon they found out about Andrean High School, school for teens and kids who could study there to grow up as famous rock, pop, metal, R&B, country, rap and hip-hop stars . After three months they leaved Greogan High School. From that day I never met them again, I was all alone at school for that time. I was too lonely and this way I leaved Greogan High School. When I was getting ready for this day, I found out about pop group named LHS. I singed in their official guest book and after two days I got a reply from Luna, she said that she's going to sing a song decided to me at this opening. Right now you must be thinking that I'm a snob because someone writes as song to me." Her lips started to tremble.
"Its okay, Sharada, I understood you." I smiled at her. "You're so lucky to have a song decided to you, I would kiss my worst enemy if someone from the popular bands would decide a song to me, but we all know that it's not going to happen in more then ten billion years."
She smiled at me and chuckled. "Better kiss some room's floor, because your enemy would think that you love him and if it's a girl then she would think that you're a lesbian."
"Oh shit, I forgot about that, um, and then I'm going to be a bisexual." I started to laugh but I was interrupted by the speakers.
"Now, please welcome at the stage our school's most popular guy band, the bad boys or as you call them, Bloody Lovers!" The speakers yelled it.
"Now you're going to enjoy this band, they are totally hot and awesome. They wined the Most Youngest Rock Band's and Metal Band's award."
"Wow, they must be really awesome, are they playing a rock and metal?" I said and started to gaze at the stage with captive look. She only nodded and started to gaze at the stage with me. I wanted to see the group. Maybe I would know someone from them.
Then my whole dream started, in font of the stage come out blond haired boy, he looked really cute and hot. He was smiling at the crowd and said, "Welcome at Andrean High School, we are here to make this deadly boring show into totally-super-duper interesting show." All the girls and guys stated to scream and yell. Sharada just smiled and I couldn't move my eyes away from that hot guy.
"That's not all; the sexier guy will come out soon." Sharada whispered and smiled at my confused face.
"There he comes," I heard Sharada's voice, "The Natsume Hyuuga."
My eyes widened up and my jaw dropped, in front of the stage I saw my neighbor and he wasn't looking like a gay or nerd. He was looking really hot, his hairs were ragged.
"Are you ready to rock this school?" He yelled it at the microphone. Poor microphone, it needs to feel his bacillus.
At the stage come two more guys, both blond haired. They brought guitars and the honey-blond haired guy was in front of his drums. Somehow I had a feeling I knew who it was.
Natsume smirked at the crowd and all the girls were yelling something like: "Natsume, I want you right now!" or "You're bringing Dan's sexy back!"
"Bloody Lovers are the best!" Sharada yelled with peeping voice.
"Stop it, it's embarrassing!" I said in laud voice.
"Well, at last I want to show them that I like them." She gives me a goofy smile.
"You know, you remind somebody to me." I smiled at her. She slowly gazed at me with her ocean blue eyes, yes, they seemed more ocean blue.
"I hope that the person is having a good personality." She smiled and whispered, "We should watch the performance."
"Why?"
"I'm having a big crush on the band's leader." Her cheeks turned into a pink color.
"Wasn't he a gay?" I asked to Sharada and she started to laugh. "They are rumors, silly."
"Oh." My eyes started to gaze at my favorite shoes like it was the coolest thing that you would do. "He's my neighbor."
"No way." Her eyes started to sparkle. "Can you make a sleep-party at your home?"
"I can-" the drums and guitars started to make a noise and I couldn't her Sharada and she couldn't hear me.
Play at YouTube song "Numb" by Linkin Park
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
Feeling so faithless lost under the surface
Don't know what you're expecting of me
Put under the pressure of walking in your shoes
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
Can't you see that you're smothering me
Holding too tightly afraid to lose control
Cause everything that you thought I would be
Has fallen apart right in front of you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
Every step that I take is another mistake to you
(Caught in the undertow just caught in the undertow)
And every second I waste is more than I can take
'Wow, they are great.' I only could stare at the stage and listen to the song. The band's members were banging their heads on the rhythm of the music.
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
And I know
I may end up failing too
But I know
You were just like me with someone disappointed in you
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
Become so tired so much more aware
I'm becoming this all I want to do
Is be more like me and be less like you
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
I've become so numb I can't feel you there
I'm tired of being what you want me to be
My eyes were sparkling with respect. From this day I'm going to respect my gay - guy neighbor.
"Aren't they awesome?" I heard Sharada's voice, I only nodded.
"Now, please give your warm applauses to our dance class juniors." Everyone started to applause and at the stage I saw kids around 11- 13 years.
They were running around the stage, some kids were grabbling and others were standing and weren't moving.
From the left corner teens around 13- 14 years were running to those kids who weren't moving and started to move them like a dolls, some of them were moving them ahead, some were pushing them to sleep at stage's floor. Some were twiddling those kids around circles.
After few minutes they all freeze. No one from them were moving, they looked like a statues.
And then the light at the stage turned out and everything went dark. "Sharada, what's happening?" I asked but there was no reply.
"Sharada," I raise my voice. "Answer me."
"Boo," I almost fell from my chair. I turned my head to the left to come nose to nose with someone.
"Koko, is it you?"
He only smirked at my question. My heart started to beat ten times faster, my cheeks turned into pink color. I was lucky because Koko couldn't see it in the darkness.
But then my worst nightmare started.
The lights turned on and in front of me wasn't honey blond haired boy, his eyes weren't in hazel color. No, no, no. His eyes were into ruby color; his hairs were into raven black color. My eyes were as big as golf white balls.
"Are you Natsume Hyuuga?" I heard Sharada's voice. He only smirked at Sharada's question. "No way, I finally meet the Natsume Hyuuga, Mikan have told me that you're her neighbor." She said and smiled at Natsume with goofy smile.
"Yeah," he said and turned his eyes to glare at my widened eyes, "little girl, your Romeo is at the stage."
"Really?" I asked as it was the smartest and hardest question in my life.
"Yeah, I just wanted to see if you're here, Hotaru was starting to go crazy at the stage just because she couldn't see you at the crowd." He said it and turned his gaze to Sharada. "Bye babe." And then he winked at her. Even I could hear her heart beats, her face was red as tomato and her eyes were dreamy.
"Bye darling." I said and give a goofy smile to my ga-guy neighbor. He only smirked at me and walked to the stage.
"Wasn't he hot?" Sharada smiled dreamy, her eyes were sparkling.
"Right," I scanned her red face and blue eyes, the truth was, she was more beautiful than me.
Some hip-hop song started to come from speakers and everyone was watching the stage. I saw the blonde-haired girl, the brunette and black haired girl. Then I saw blonde haired boy, my neighbor and other girls and guys. They were dancing the same way like I was dancing at Drebal High School.
Natsume and blonde haired boy were standing at their hands. Black and blond haired girls were making handspring. Brunette was making handspring and in the end of handspring she laid her legs into leg-slip. At the end, all of them were at the ground. Breathing in and out, they weren't moving, just relaxing.
The hall was quiet.
Then, one person started to clap his hand.
Then another one started.
After that the third started and soon all halls' people were clapping their hands.
I smiled and saw how Sharada was gazing at the stage, her eyes were sparkling and she mumbled, "I'm going to like this school."
'Yeah," I thought, 'me too.'
