Trapped
Time flies by so fast. The day started with Mikan introducing herself, catching the attention of a several guys, lowering Gutnie's self-esteem, knowing all about the GOTHS and…
"Argggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhh!"
…being showered with love-letters.
Ruka laughed in the background. Mikan sure was popular. It was dismissal time already and as she opened her locker pink and red envelopes cascaded down on the floor, thus causing the catastrophe above.
She never got out of this dilemma, ever since teenage hormones started showing, tons of mushy letters have been piling up. The reason why Mikan was usually best friends with boys is that those were the only ones who weren't attracted to her. Girls were just too jealous or were to bimbo-like for her liking.
Taking all of the letters, she dumped them in a nearby trashcan, feeling sorry for the janitor who would incinerate all of this disgusting mush.
"Well, let's eat!"
There she goes again, acting as if nothing happened. I guess she never really makes a big deal out of anything.
As Mikan walked by, people started whispering, stuff like 'There he is! She's the one who…'
Ruka, being the shy boy that he was, shifted closer to Mikan. He could hear all of what they were saying. He was sure Mikan could as well but, nothing seems to really get through her thick skull.
One particular gossip got Ruka's full attention, though.
"They look so cute together!..."
Ruka blushed crimson.
"What's wrong Ruka?"
Mikan finally noticed how uncomfortable her friend was when she reached the cafeteria. He was rigid stiff and had specks of pink on his cheeks.
She tilted her head to one side, argh. Can you seriously believe how dense she is? I mean come on! Einstien's brain is supposed to be in there!
They sat on an empty table, suddenly, Mikan thought of something,
"Hey, Ruka, why do they do this? You know, why do they cause trouble around the school, it couldn't be because they were bored."
That was her reason. Mikan was a trouble-maker simply because she was bored. She gets anything she wants, she doesn't have to work hard for anything, and basically, everything was just smooth for her.
"Who said anything about that?! They do this because… they want to get out."
Mikan didn't get it. Get out? Huh?
"What do you mean?"
Ruka looked at her straight in the eye, an act Mikan wasn't exactly used to. She shivered involuntarily.
His eyes looked blank; there was no sparkle in them, or that same uncertainness…
It.Was.Plain.Hollow.
"The school won't let them go out… Natsume Hyuuga, he's been trying to go out ever since he learned that his girlfriend died. But they won't let him."
Mikan looked at him, puzzled.
"Why?"
The blank look on Ruka's face quickly changed to that of surprise.
"You don't know? Once you enter this school, you won't be able to go out till college."
Mikan's eyes widened considerably. The principal didn't tell her that! She's still 16… 4 more years until she graduates.
"What is this, prison?"
"It is, yes."
Mikan was enraged. How dare they deprive her of freedom!
"What the bloody heck!?"
- - - - -
"What the bloody heck!?"
Mikan Sakura's voice echoed throughout the room. A big screen showed her movements, making it obvious that she was being monitored.
A man was sitting on a plush red chair, drinking a cocktail; he smirked once he saw the outraged expression on Mikan before taking a sip.
He was facing the screen, thinking about his plans, musing out every possible thing that could go wrong… but he was certain. In no time at all, that 10-meter thick wall of the academy would be blown apart by none other than the person he was intently observing.
He planned it all from the beginning; he paid the principal of Vincent Brian's Academy to expel her the second she would make trouble.
It was part of his plan for her to go to school in the academy. It was pure luck that her friend found the website, thus making it her perfect choice to enroll in the school.
Next, he made sure their useless member; Sumire Shouda, would get kicked out… the notorious group would find a new member… and Mikan was the perfect choice.
Everything was fit into place. All he had to do was wait for the first move.
Once Mikan gets accepted in the group, he would commence the plan.
He would control the GOTHS… along with their ingenious minds.
The world will be at his grasp…

"I WANT TO SEE THE PRINCIPAL!"
Mikan yelled at the cowering secretary. After she heard the news, she ran straight here, followed by a distressed Ruka. Mikan thrust her arms, kicked relentlessly at the air, trying in vain to get out of Ruka's iron grasp.
"I WANT TO GET OUT!"
She doesn't want to be trapped in this school, having to wait for years until graduating. No…
As the secretary gained her composure, she pressed a red button and spoke into the intercom,
"Guards…"
In less than 5 seconds, 4 bulky guards in tuxes bolted through the doors. The secretary pointed to Mikan, who was still wailing about and gave a silent order to restrain them.
The guards complied.
"Let go of me you over-sized men in black!"
They grabbed her by the waist and (literally) threw her outside the door. Closing it, Mikan was left outside the Administration building, thinking in despair.
This is no school… this is a prison…
For the first time in years, she felt a sense of alarm, before it changed to that of despair.
Mikan cried and hugged her knees… it didn't matter if she would be soiling her designer jeans.
No… this was the first time she wouldn't be able to get what she wanted, and it sucked.
Ruka could only watch sadly at the brunette. He knew what it felt like; only for him it was much worse, for Ruka heard of the said news when his father died.
He was sent a letter, one fateful day, that his father passed away during an avalanche in Mt. Everest. His dad always had a knack for adventure, contradicting Ruka's timid personality. He even packed his bags that night. He didn't know that they weren't allowed to go out. None of his friends told him.
When he reached the huge gate, bags in tow, the guards laughed at him. It was humiliating. But unlike Mikan here, he didn't fight back. He only ran back to his room and cried there.
The next morning, he sent a letter to his mom explaining everything, he even wrote to her every single day.
But months after that; he received another letter from his mom saying that she…
Committed suicide…
The letter stated that Ruka didn't console her. The letter accused Ruka of not even writing to her.
Cruel, how very cruel.
Mikan thought in despair…
No more Minouru… Mom… Dad…
Help me.
I'm Trapped.

I hope you didn't get disappointed with this chapter.
I promise the next chapter will be more exciting… more fun.
That 10 meter thick wall is going down!
Still burning,
