Chapter 2.
That's Mikan?

You can do this Mikan... You'll prove him wrong.

It was eight o'clock in the morning when Mikan entered their classroom.

"Ohayou Everyone!" She greeted, her voice cheerful, yet surprisingly calm.

"Hey Mikan!" Yuu said turning to her. At the moment he saw her, his already-wide-for someone-who's-a-boy eyes became much, much wider.

Everybody else turned to look at her.

Mikan smiled, a little more serenely than usual. "Ohayou Hotaru-chan!"

"'Guess I'm not going use this for a while." Hotaru muttered under her breath as she kept her ready-for-action baka-gun under her table. "Oh well. Good Morning Mikan."

Mikan did not, I repeat- did not, hug Hotaru. She only smiled at her in return.

"Mikan-chan, what did you do to yourself?" Yuu gasped. Worry was all over his voice.

Mikan giggled. Giggled. "Remember yesterday?"

"I'll show Natsume! I can act my age if I wanted to! But jeez, acting calm and lady like is hard. It's surely not me! But I can show that Natsu- hey Koko-chan! Your reading my mind again! Please stop!" Kokoroyomi said imitating what was supposedly Mikan's voice in her head.

"I see!" Nonoko and Anna said in unison.

"Well Mikan-chan, the new you is great! Your much pretty letting your hair down," Anna said as Nonoko nodded in agreement.

"Oh! And you're using make-up too!"

Mikan nodded."Misaki-sempai gave me a make-up kit last Christmas."

"Mikan, don't you think your overdoing it?" Yuu asked. Was this the right thing to do?

"I'm not overdoing it!"

"Act fifteen but be yourself Mikan" Hotaru said softly.

"Okay!" Mikan said as she smiled more cheerfully.

"Our other classmates are coming!" Kokoroyomi said

"Natsume's coming Mikan, prepare yourself!" Everyone cheered.

"I will! I am prepared!"

The door slammed open revealing the Ruka, Usagi, and the boy who's going to be proven wrong.

"Ohayou Ruka-pyon!" she greeted

"O-Ohayou Mikan-chan! You l-look v-very p-pretty!" Ruka said blushing madly. She's beautiful.

"Arigatou Ruka!" she replied shyly. She glanced at Natsume.

"Ohayou."

Mikan went to her chair, not bothering to hear a reply. Natsume ignored her greeting but when he noticed the change of tone in her voice, He looked up from his manga and boy, was his crimson eyes wide!

That's Mikan?!
