Chapter 2 - The Fan Girl


Monday.

Today is the second day of February.

Like any other Mondays, every student who has classes in the morning is required to attend the Monday Morning Assembly held in front of the school's Admin building.

The usual Monday mornings usually consists of either a prayer or a doxology, followed by the national anthem and then the city's hymn and creed. At the end of it are some announcements recognizing the students who brought to the school, both internal and external, for the past week or month.

Today's morning assembly, however, did not end there since today also includes announcements from the Student Council of the month's event considering that today is also the first Monday of the month. This will be the council's last project for this academic year before the election and oath taking of the new set of officers for the next academic year.

Due to these additional announcements, today's assembly took longer than the usual Monday assemblies did. So right after dismissing the students, you will see students rushing towards their designated classrooms. Looks like they are afraid of getting in trouble by getting there late for their next subject, or maybe cramming for whatever their next subject had prepared for them. Who knows what is on their mind.

Despite the rushing of students here and there, a certain student is taking her time walking towards her classroom, enjoying every minute of her very gorgeous and lovely Monday morning. If you are wondering, that is because her class schedule for the day will start by 12:45 in the afternoon, just right after the lunch break. So there she is, enjoying the view, as she called it,while walking with her trusted camera at hand.

"MIKAN NICOLE SAKURA, You're late!" was what greeted the mentioned student when she reached the front door of their classroom. There in front of her is her best friend and classmate, left hand on her waist with matching right foot tapping on the floor. Obviously, she has been waiting for her arrival for quite some time now.

"Good morning to you too, Sumi," she replied cheerfully with raised eyebrow. "You're early," she pointed out, "as far as we're both concerned, our class will start in, hmm, let's see," she stopped to check for the time, "uh, more or less five hours."

"Can't you just grab your keys and open the door?" her friend moaned.

She, in return, just stared at her with her eyebrows raised.

"Please?"

"Okay, okay. So, why in a hurry?" she asked.

"I still have to finish my homework, and you know that I don't bring my homework at home during weekends", Sumi mumbled while pouting her lips.

"Oh! Is that so? I thought you already finished that last Friday before going home," Mikan answered while finding the right key for their classroom.

"Yeah, that was the plan, but you see, almost all of our teachers left us either an assignment or a project to be submitted this week."

"And..."She prompted her to continue. She already found the right key and she's inserting it by now.

"I did finish all the assignments except for one which is due today, I mean later, after first period, and I also need your help for that, and the art project due tomorrow morning. I ran out of art materials so I wasn't able to finish it last week."

They had already entered the room and are making their way towards their seats. "If that is the case, you should have texted me last night or earlier this morning so I could hand you the keys, or better yet, attend the morning ceremony."

"No way, sis!" she argued, "I am not going to start my week by standing there under the sun, I am so not going to ruin my week for that, and besides, we're not even required so why bother."

"No need to shout you know"

"Oops, sorry. Didn't intend to. " She apologised. "Hey, I need your notebook."

"I thought you need my help?"

She smiled sheepishly back at her and said, "Yeah, I need your help means you lending me your notebook, so where is it? Where is your math notebook?

"Should have known" Mikan muttered to herself while rummaging her bag, looking for the said notebook.

"You were saying?"

"Nothing! Here," while handing her notebook.

"No need to frown. You'll get older earlier than expected." She joked. "Don't worry, I'm still your best friend and you're still more important to me, Sumire Shouda, than this notebook" referring to her math notebook.

"Really? Then give that back to me," she stated while trying to steal her notebook from Sumire.

"Oh shut up. You should not be jealous. So what took you so long? You're suppose to arrive here thirty minutes ago. What happened during the assembly?" she questioned, and then, "Ah! No need to answer that! Of course, you were busy ogling and taking pictures of your 'handsome prince Natsume' from afar. I'm sure of it." While saying these, her eyebrows were dancing, and her eyes were grinning.

"Not really-"

"Well, that's new"

"because I don't have to admire him from afar, since he's just right there beside me the whole time during assembly."

"Well, another well. Congratulations, bestie. So, how did that happen?"

"I was just passing by when their student teacher saw me and asked me to join their line instead. That's how I ended up there. And I was not busy ogling him, you know," she protested, "I was listening to the speakers too, while glancing at him discreetly." She smiled when her companion reacted.

"That's the same thing, idiot!" Sumire threw a crumpled paper while she laughed towards her.

"I know," she, instead, directed a smile her friend, then continued, "I was just trying to humour you, because you're turning to an undesirable monster and by the looks of it, my lovely notebook is your first target."

"Ugh! Your notebook surely is lovely, but the contents are hideous as a monster. Why are there a lot of x, y, and z's?"

"And again, those are called variables, sis."

"Whatever." Trying to cover-up the hideousness of the contents, she continued to interrogate her friend.

"Since you claimed to be listening during the morning assembly while glancing at him, as you stated, discreetly, would mind sharing them to me?"

"Oh! About that," She paused a little then tried to remember the details. "It's the Student Council President regarding the activities they prepared for the month. They will be posting the schedules in each building's bulletin board within the campus. He said that we could also read it in Chanticleer's February issue. Want to check it out later after grabbing some snack." She suggested.

"Oh, it slipped my mind. Today's already February. Two more months 'til summer. Sure, later, after this."

~Natsume Hyuuga Fan Girl~

Mikan and Sumire were already at their building's gate when the bell rang, signalling that it is already break time. Good thing that the two were able to buy some snack at the cafeteria before the bell rang so they would not have to deal with long queues.

Just like what the two agreed upon earlier, they made their way towards the bulletin board in their building. They had decided to read the contents on their way back after they bought their foods. The hallway was now filled with students and it's getting more and more crowded by the minute.

They were busy reading the contents; well in Mikan's case, she was busy taking pictures of the said ad, when they felt some students standing behind them. Based from the shadows formed by the creatures behind them, they concluded that the students behind them are all boys. They both decided to ignore them and continued reading until one of them spoke.

"So these are the events that our Student Council prepared for their last project this school year? Tch."

At the sound of his voice, Mikan instantly knew who it was. She was pointing at some event when he suddenly spoke. Her body froze upon the recognition of his voice. She tried to relax but her slightly shaking forefinger still glued on that same event. She was nervous. Who wouldn't when your super duper crush is just standing behind you and you could actually smell his scent. The scent that made you want to grab his collar and smell him over and over again. She is in her daydreaming mode that she didn't realize that more students were crowding behind them.

"MIKAN!"

Somebody shouted her name, calling for her attention. That brought her back to reality.

She turned to the direction of the voice, and there she saw and another classmate and close friend Anna waving at her. She waved back and smiled. Halting in front of her, she said, "I saw Mrs. Yamada while I am photocopying some notes. She told me to tell you to meet her in the faculty room by 9:30. If you can't find her there, just proceed to her table and wait for her."

After hearing the message, she glanced at her wristwatch then gasped. It's almost 9 and she still has to prepare her things. She glanced at Anna and said "Thanks, Anna" in which she replied with "No prob! Good luck and see you later at lunch!" and then she left. She turned to Sumire and told the latter "Hey, Sumi, are you done? Can we head back now? I still have to fix some of my things."

Sumire understood what she meant so she nodded in response and they started to walk.

"So you have other reason why you're early today. You have another one-on-one review session with Mrs. Yamada huh? Good luck" Sumire stated.

"I'm not the only one. We are three, but the other two will join me an hour later. Thanks by the way."

That little conversation caught one of the juniors' attentions and thought aloud.

"So she is the Sophomore Math Whiz mom was talking about huh? She's cute! She's not as geeky as I thought she was."

"Huh? What are you talking about Koko?"

"Nothing!" Koko grinned, and then started walking towards the stairs. The same path Mikan and Sumire took a while ago. "Let's go! Break time is almost up. Don't want mom find out that I'm late"

"Hn. Mama's boy!"
