"You have no chance over me, geek." Mikan gave Luna a death glare and Luna was happy that Mikan got pissed off. Mikan saw this and smirked, "Neither do you, slut." Luna's jaw dropped and her hands turned into fists. Mikan smirked and winked at her. "Let's just get this over with so I can start ordering you around."

"Good. You serve then. First person to get ten points win. " Mikan threw Luna the ball to let her serve. Luna got into position and served the ball with an upper hand. Mikan hit the ball with an Off-speed hit; confusing Luna and making her miss the ball. Luna stared blankly as the ball landed a foot from her.

"She missed it." A girl sitting in the bleachers said. "She never misses."

"You just got lucky geek. Next time I wouldn't go easy." Mikan went near the net and took the ball in front of Luna. "Next Time? Go easy? Right." Mikan got into position and placed the ball in front of her. She tossed the ball in the air, which surprised everyone, and gave it a Jump Float serve. Everyone was shocked. Only trained professionals can do that. The ball swiftly passed Luna and hit the ground hard. She stood there frozen; her jaws dropping shocked at what just happened. "Keep your eyes on the ball dear and close your mouth, because a fly might fly into it." Mikan laughed as she took her position and served the ball again. This time with less effort, so that she can give Luna a chance of scoring.

The game was not long and the score was tied. Mikan went easy on Luna to tie up the game and make it more interesting. But it was finally down to one last score so Mikan knew what to do and make the final shot.

Luna went into position and held the ball tight in her hands. She clenched her fists tighter and she smirked at Mikan. "You can start with carrying my shopping bags after I go shopping in the newest mall." Mikan quirked an eyebrow and smirked. "You know it's better if you stop bothering me now." Luna gave the ball a strong Line and Cross-Court served, she thought Mikan wouldn't make it trough that. She was danm wrong. Mikan ran to the net, jumped up and spiked the ball hard. The ball bounced on Luna's head and she fell on the ground hard. "I guess I win the bet." Mikan smirked at Luna, who sat there, covering her bleeding nose, not moving. Mikan chuckled and headed over to the bleachers.

"Mikan-chan, that was great! Were did you learn to play like that!" Nonoko asked excitedly. "Yeah! And you even gave Luna a nosebleed!" Anna chimed in, pushing Nonoko aside. "She was taught by-" Hotaru stopped dead and kept quiet. Mikan gave her a death glare and Hotaru didn't even react that she almost slipped Mikan's secret.

"She was taught by what, Hotaru-chan?" Ruka asked walking over to them with Natsume beside him. "My mom taught me how to play volleyball. She was a good player in her high school days and taught me some moves." Then Mikan turned to Natsume and gave him a huge smile. "What do you think about me now Natsume?"

"Whatever." Was all Natsume said. 'Finally a girl who doesn't gawk over me aside from Hotaru, Anna and Nonoko. Well she is kinda cute…what!? Shut up…you are not falling for her…' Mikan's smile grew bigger at Natsume, and then she laughed. Natsume was puzzled. "What are you laughing about?" He demanded.

"Danm! You should have seen your face!" Mikan's laugh grew louder and Natsume stared at her fuming a bit. Mikan started to get teary because of laughing so much. Natsume thought of an idea. He smirked and Mikan saw this. "What's wrong? Crying because you can't be ordered around by the slut, polka dots?" Mikan stopped laughing and gave Natsume a death glare. "Pervert!" Natsume smirked, and Mikan turned red a little. 'I feel kinda hot. Wait am I blushing!? But why!? Don't tell me it's because of that freakin' pervert! Stop! Mikan, you can't fall for him. Well he does look kinda hot. Wait! What!? No!' Natsume noticed Mikan was red.

"Blushing now are we? Could it be you're having a crush?" Mikan's jaw drop and she got even redder. "What!? I'm red because I'm mad and angry at you! Not because I'm falling for you! You stupid freakin' pervert."

"Wow. I think I've never really seen that part of you before Mikan." Mikan turned around and saw Hotaru standing there with Ruka beside her. "What happened to the goody two shoes Mikan I know back at the old neighborhood (A/N: School in Bev. Hills is what Hotaru means)."

"What do you mean?" Mikan pointed a finger at Hotaru, confused. "Last time I remember you never open that large mouth of yours. And when you do, you usually need a microphone for everyone to hear you."

Flashback…

"Mikan we love you!"

"So, Mikan, What's the new trend!? Will it be out next season!?"

"Go out with me Mikan!"

"What's the new line your mom's designing!?"

"Do you have a boy friend!?" Mikan twitched at the people surrounding her. To think, she would get used to all the screaming fan boys and fashion freaks girls by now, but no…she has to suffer them every single day. And for years she never got used to it and it only got more annoying each day.

"Please everyone give me some space." Mikan's voice was so small it can be a whisper. She backed up a little, but no use the people just came closer to her. "Please go back." Mikan was hallucinating. She was claustrophobic and no one knew except her best friend. No one ever knows, because every time she tells someone, her small voice would get cancelled out by the screaming boys and girls.

"If everyone of won't leave Mikan alone, I swear you'll end up unconscious and wake up in the middle of nowhere." Everyone backed up. They knew who the voice belongs to. Imai Hotaru. They knew she wouldn't joke about anything, and everyone of them was scared of her. "Thank You, Hotaru" Mikan sighed as Hotaru gave her a v-sign for victory.

End of flashback…

"I guess when you left I didn't have someone to tell the-" Mikan stopped dead. Hotaru stared at her confused.

Another flashback (When Hotaru finally left)…

"Everyone please I'm claustrophobic. Back up a little." Mikan's voice was so small, and since Hotaru finally left there was no one to shout at her classmates to back-up.

Mikan held her head. She felt dizzy and can't breathe. Every time she'd tell someone to back up, they wouldn't hear her. Mikan didn't know what to do. Until it snapped her. "Danm it! Would all of you please shut up!? For the last time! I'm claustrophobic and I can't breathe with all of you shouting and crowding around me like that!" Mikan was panting. She didn't know she just shouted so loud. She was startled and saw that most of the faces surrounding her were shocked. She smiled a sweet and said, "Who wants to know the next line of my mom?" Mikan acted as if nothing happened.

From that day on Mikan gained some courage on speaking up for herself and never had the crowding-people-around-her problem anymore. Though occasionally people would still crowd around her, but they still gave her some space.

End of flashback…

"Something just hit me." Mikan smiled. "I'm hungry. Can we eat?" Mikan twisted the subject hoping it would work and turned her head to the exits of the gym. "Your treat? I mean you do have a lot of money." Hotaru teased with her blank face. Mikan's jaw drop and Anna and Nonoko stared at her. "You do?" They both chorused.

"Hotaru's just joking. I'm not rich anyways." Mikan lied hoping it was believable enough, while sneaking death glares at Hotaru the same time. "Of course I'm joking." Hotaru rolled her eyes and Mikan flashed Hotaru a sarcastic smile.

"I bet polka dots can't even afford buying her own food." Mikan turned around and saw Natsume smirking with his arms crossed. "I have a name you know!" Mikan pointed an angry finger at Natsume. Natsume stared at it for a while before moving it with his own finger. "Really? Is it polka dots?" Mikan turned red because of anger and started throwing light punches at Natsume. "I hate you!"

"Do you really?" Natsume said while dodging Mikan's punches.

"You are so arrogant!" Mikan shot.

"And you are a little girl." Natsume shot back.

"Pervert!"

"Pig!"

"What!? I have you know-"

Sometimes love comes around
(Love comes around)
And it knocks you down
Just get back up
When it knocks you down
(Knocks you down)
Sometimes love comes around
(Love comes around)
And it knocks you down
Just get back up
When it knocks you down
(Knocks you down)

Mikan was cut off by a song. It was her phone. Mikan ran to the side of the gym to see who it was. 'Her Mom' She pressed the ignore button and texted her mom after that.

I'll call u l8ter. I'm in scho0l. Luv yah…:)

She walked over to her friends and had a big smile on her face. "Come on my stomachs really growling. Hotaru will you treat me I'm a little short." Hotaru stared at Mikan and rolled her eyes. "Fine."

"Yay! Now let's go!" Mikan and Hotaru left the gym with Ruka, Natsume, Anna and Nonoko following behind. 'You owe me. With a wallet full of credit cards like yours you can like, I dunno, treat the whole school.' Hotaru whispered trying to keep her voice low, so that no one could hear them. 'Just play along. I'll buy you crab brains on Saturday.' Mikan smiled and Hotaru flashed an idea. 'You will pay me 50bucks each day, to make me play along.' Mikan's jaw dropped. "What!" Her voice was so loud that everyone around them turned to Mikan. Mikan flashed them a huge smile and asked for apology. "Gommenasai. Nothing to see here."

"What's wrong Mikan-chan?" Nonoko asked, curious. "Nothing." Mikan smiled at Nonoko and pulled Hotaru closer to her. 'Paying me 50 bucks a day won't be too hard. Besides your wallet is packed with 500's' Hotaru smiled a sly grin and Mikan twitched at how greedy her best friend was. 'Fine.' Mikan took out her wallet and hid it from the others but Hotaru. She took out a 50 and shoved it to her greedy best friend. 'Here.'

'Thanks. I'll use this to treat you.' Hotaru smiled a sly smile. "Some treat." Mikan muttered under her breath.
