Chapter 3: nice and NOT-nice to meet you
(I'll call them Riiko and Haiite sometimes, okay?)
Riiko and Haiite have been chatting for quite some time now. They're really comfortable with each other and they get along so well… so far. In the process, they somehow developed some kind of weird feeling inside them… especially Haiite.
But Riiko being as dense as she was didn't notice it… not even her own feelings.
Although there are still times when she CAN notice it, and when she does, she doesn't know why but she really ignores it… I mean INTENTIONALLY… it's like she's avoiding it…
Maybe she thought that there was nothing between her and Haiite that's MORE than FRIENDSHIP and she wanted it to stay as it is.
It was Monday morning and Mikan was on her bicycle, on her way to the academy.
She wasn't riding her limo or any kind of luxurious car because she doesn't want to be noticed when she arrives at school.
The last time she went to school in her silver Mercedes-Benz, the whole school swarmed around her like bees.
She is really popular in school for her good looks, high… wrong term… let's just say… SATISFYING grades, good attitude and her priceless smile.
Unfortunately, while she was biking, she didn't notice this not so little rock that she was about to run into since she was paying more attention to her surroundings rather than to where she was going.
Then… BANG!!
She crashed and all her books which was in the front basket of the bike scattered along the sidewalk.
"oh man!" she exclaimed and hit her head.
While she was picking up her books, she suddenly bumped into somebody and fell on her butt.
"ow! Strike two for the day…" she said quietly but loud enough for someone near her to hear.
She heard someone chuckling. Then suddenly a hand came in front of her.
"need a hand?" a male voice said. It was obviously the same person who chuckled earlier, but his voice was still so kind.
Mikan looked at his face and saw that he was smiling. He was handsome; he had that brown hair, tantalizing hazel eyes and a well proportioned body… Mikan was amazed but mind you… she isn't drooling… well just a bit.
"um… miss?" the guy called while waving a hand in front of her, trying to get her out of her trance.
"oh… yeah…" Mikan said and grabbed his hand.
"um… I believe this is yours…" he said handing a book to Mikan
"yes… thank you…" the brunette answered and took the book
"so you're the famous Mikan Sakura, huh? He asked
Mikan wasn't answering so he quickly added,
"I'm Kaito Hikari…nice to meet you"
"nice to—how did you know my name?" she asked getting a bit… REALLY confused.
"your book says it all…" he answered while pointing at the book. Mind you, he was still smiling.
"oh… hehe…" was all she could say.
I forgot… I have my name on my book… stupid me… she thought
Then Hotaru's head suddenly popped in her mind and commented,
"so you know you're stupid… impressive…"
HOOOTTAARRUUU!! She thought angrily and turning a bit red.
"Mikan?" he called
"uh… nice meeting you too… Kairo…"
"it's Kaito… not Kairo…" he corrected
"of course… I said Kaito…" she answered
Kaito sweat dropped and thought she didn't say Kaito… she said Kairo… weird…
"sorry for what happened earlier…" she apologized
"that was nothing…" he said sweetly
"so… nice meeting you again Kaito Hikari…" she said and shook hands with him.
When Mikan was about to let go, she noticed that Kaito wasn't moving, he was just looking at her.
"hello? Kaito?" she called
Then Kaito kind of woke up from a very beautiful dream.
"what?" he asked
"my hand…" she said while looking at her hand which was still held by Kaito.
"s-sorry…" he said and let go of Mikan's hand while hiding his face.
"it's okay… I have to go now… till next time Kaito-kun" then she rode on her bicycle and started her way to the school.
Mikan was still looking at her then suddenly, "MIKAN!" he yelled
Mikan looked back at him with a -what- expression on her face.
"watch out for that—" he was cut by a loud crash.
You're right, Mikan crashed AGAIN and at the same street.
Kaito was about to run to Mikan, when she cried,
"I'm okay… don't worry… thanks for the warning…"she said …Though it was a bit too late…she continued in her mind.
Then she proceeded on her tracks after waving goodbye to Kaito.
Kaito just stared at her back and thought with a big smile across his face,
Mikan Sakura… one of a kind… my type of girl…
Then a man who was about in his 40's came to Kaito.
"sir, we need to go now… you'll be late…" the man said.
"okay, Ishida…" he answered and got in the black BMW but never got that big smile off his face.
"you seem happy, sir." Ishida commented from the driver's seat.
"you think so?" he asked
"very much, sir" Ishida answered
How long has it been since I last saw a real smile on his face… Ishida thought
"sir… can I ask you something?" Ishida asked politely
"sure… well… you already are" he answered
"yeah… um… who was that girl you talked to?" he asked
"um…a friend…" he answered with a tint of pink on his face
"I see you're quite fond of her… well… she made you smile" he said
"for god's sake… no one has been able to do that in years… I mean, make you smile…" he added
"I know…" Kaito answered
"so… we stopped the car for her?" Ishida asked maliciously
"no… uh… I just wanted to take a walk and I saw her…" he answered and he is now turning into a red-head.
"oh… I see… you like her don't you?" the friendly driver asked
"of course not! I can't… I mean… yes…" he admitted.
"I thought so…" his driver answered.
" you know me that well…" Kaito exclaimed
"I do… I've been with you since the day you first wore your diapers" he said
"okay… you don't have to tell me about my diapers…" Kaito told him
"fine… but… were you able to get her name?" Ishida asked
"yeah… if I'm not mistaken… her name is Mikan Sakura…" he answered
Ishida was so shocked that he suddenly stepped on the breaks and kissed the glass while Kaito launched to the floor.
"what happened?" Kaito asked while trying to get back to his seat.
"nothing… sorry about that sir… but are you sure she's Mikan Sakura?" he asked eagerly
"yeah… I know she's famous… but don't get too shocked to see her in the streets…" he stated
"it's not that… coz if she really is Mikan Sakura then she's already engaged…" Ishida explained
"she's what?!" Kaito asked getting furious
"she's engaged sir… to that Hyuuga…" Ishida explained further
"how do you know all about this?" he asked
"I've been reading the newspapers…" Ishida answered plainly
"and who is this Hyuuga?" he asked and he's still red but it's now because of anger.
"Natsume Hyuuga, the heir to the Hyuuga Corporation… one of the biggest companies in the world and the biggest in Japan…" he answered
"Hyuuga Corp. is owned by Persona right? And as far as I know he's dad's rival…" he informed
"and besides, our company is the biggest in Japan… Hikari Group of Companies" he added
"since you left for America, they've been number one in collaboration with Sakura Enterprise" Ishida informed him
"it's the company owned by the Sakuras right? Mikan is the heir to it right?"
"yes sir… it is owned by Reo…he is a close friend of your father…" he elaborated
"I'm the heir to Hikari Group of Companies… why didn't he engage Mikan to me?" he asked getting really mad.
"that's what I don't know, sir… sorry" Ishida answered.
"it's okay… not your fault" he said and looked out of the window
I'm talking to dad about this… I'm kicking that Hyuuga out of this planet… he thought bitterly
Then the car came to a stop the Ishida said, "we're here sir…"
"kay… thanks.." he said and got out of the car.
The gate says ALICE ACADEMY. The moment he entered the gate, everyone looked at him and the girls immediately had hearts in their eyes.
"okay…" he said while feeling a bit awkward.
Then she saw the girls uniform and thought, it's the same as Mikan's… does this mean she studies here? I hope she does…
Then a teacher with blond hair and gay-ish attitude approached him.
"may I help you?" he asked
"I'm Mr. Narumi, by the way… and you are our new student, aren't you?"
"yes, I am… will you be my teacher?"
"oh yes…and you'll be in class 3B…" Narumi told him.
"okay…" Kaito answered and they walked towards the classroom.
When they arrived at the door of the room, Narumi told him to wait for him to signal that he may enter already.
In the classroom, the students were in chaos. Some were standing on the desk, throwing paper at each other, chatting, sleeping, arguing, and running around the room, shouting at the top of their lungs and many other things.
But there was this brunette who was chatting with her seatmate and then was suddenly hit by a gun and fell on the floor.
Then the teacher went to the front and cleared his throat… there was a moment of silence… just a moment… then they started making noise again.
Narumi didn't have a choice but to announce that there was a new student even though the class wasn't paying attention.
"we have a NEW STUDENT…" the teacher said.
That was the magic word… the moment he said that, all the students went back to there seats and paid attention to whatever the teacher was gonna say… well not ALL of them.
Then a million questions were threw at him… like "is the new student a he or a she?"… "Where's he/she from?" and stuff like that.
After telling the class to settle down, he signaled someone at the door to come in.
Then Kaito came in… the boys had bored expressions while the girls were in love again.
"please introduce yourself to the class, Kaito." Narumi said
"I'm Kaito Hikari… 17 years old and I came from America…" he said.
All of the girls squealed except for one, she was still chatting with her friend who was obviously not paying attention to her.
Then a student raised her hand. "why isn't he wearing the school uniform?"
A girl with short hair asked.
"oh yeah… I wasn't able to explain that… Kaito kindly--" he was supposed to ask Kaito to tell the class why he wasn't in his school uniform but he was cut because he saw that Kaito wasn't paying attention to him anymore.
"well… he didn't get his uniform yet…" he explained
Kaito wasn't paying attention because he was staring at this certain brunette who kept on chatting with her friend.
"so let's pick your partner…" Narumi said
Then he heard a whisper from Kaito, "I want her…" he said
Narumi didn't know what he was talking about when he suddenly noticed that he was staring intently at somebody.
"so you want Mikan, huh?" he asked then Kaito was out of his daydreaming and blushed at what he heard from the teacher, but still managed to nod.
"then Mikan-chan it is…" he said and told him to sit beside Mikan.
You're right the brunette who wasn't paying attention earlier, was none other than our very own Mikan Sakura.
When they saw Kaito walking towards Mikan the boys and the girls were both jealous. But Mikan didn't even notice Kaito walking towards her.
Then her seatmate suddenly told her to look in front.
When she did she saw Kaito looking at her with a smile.
"hi Mikan…" he greeted
"Kaito-kun!! You're my classmate? How wonderful!!" she cried and hugged Kaito.
Kaito blushed at her sudden actions.
"okay Mikan-chan… Kaito-kun will be your partner and he will sit right beside you" he said
"no problem, Mr. Narumi…" she said and pulled Kaito to the seat beside her.
My lucky day… Kaito thought every time he remembers Mikan hugging him.
"okay…since it's all settled… I'll be leaving already…" he said and walked to the door.
But before he exited…" by the way, it's free time since we have a new student..." he said and left.
Then his whole day was spent knowing other people, touring around the campus with Mikan and other stuff.
He met their class president, Yuu, and others like Anna, Nonoko, and Hotaru.
Then he went home with all the joy in the world.
Mikan also went home happily but all that happiness vanished when she heard a horrible news from her parents…well… it was horrible for her…
When Mikan reached home the first thing she saw were her parents and it was obvious that she wasn't very glad about that coz every time they're around, something bad happens.
"hello, darling… how was your day?" Yuka asked when she saw Mikan.
"well….it was supposed to be fine… till now…" she answered sarcastically
Then Reo entered the scene with a guy probably the same age as Mikan and was obviously pissed.
"oh Mikan, your home…" Reo said
"obviously…" she answered
So she's the one who ditched me, huh?... the guy thought
"so who's that?" she asked while pointing at the guy.
"let me guess… my fiancé… ha-ha…" she added even before Reo had the chance to answer her previous question.
"well… you're right… he IS your fiancé" he said emphasizing is.
"what?!" she screamed
"keep it down…" Yuka ordered
"big-mouthed idiot…" Natsume murmured.
"what did you say?!" she asked angrily
Oh no… her parents thought
"hey! You were the PERVERT who peeked at my undies!!" she added
"so it's you… polka… say we're meant to be…" he said and smirked.
"shut up! Pervert!" she cried
"so you know each other?" her parents butted in.
Both Mikan and Natsume rolled their eyes.
"I can't believe you're making me marry a pervert…" she said to her parents
"I'm not a pervert… you showed it to me…" he said
"wait… this isn't how it should be…" Reo said
"so it's supposed to be worse?" Mikan said
"no! Listen first…"
"oh… that's what I did and look what I got into…" Mikan replied
"listen… he's staying here from now on…" he said
"what did you just say? And do you know what you just did?!" she asked
"we thought that it would help you get closer…" they both said
I can't believe it really is worse… she thought
"oh yeah? well thanks… coz you just helped me hate him even more…" she exclaimed and crossed her arms on her chest
"and in case you didn't notice you just made another step in ruining my life…"
"but it's better coz you'll still have to marry him in the end anyway…" Reo stated as if saying that her objection would lead to nothing.
"whatever!! I'm so not marrying that jerk!" she said and ran off
Weird… she hates me… not like other girls… he thought
"and by the way… it so NOT nice to meet you!" she added and ran again.
"Mikan! Come on… don't do this…" Reo called
So she really thinks she has the guts to just ditch me? I'll show her… he thought and walked off
"where are you going?" Yuka asked
"none of your business…" he said coldly
This kid should be taught how to respect others!! She thought getting really furious.
"let's call off the engagement… I don't think we're doing the right thing…" Yuka said
Reo patted her shoulder and said "don't worry… he's persona's son… he'll be good… this is just a phase…"
"fine…but are you sure? Mikan is still our daughter you know…"
"I'm sure… I used to be like that too right?" Reo reminded her
"yeah… but you're different… you were better…" Yuka said
"yeah, yeah… let's just take a walk okay? So you'll calm down…" Reo suggested
"okay…c'mon" she said and grabbed Reo arm like a child.
