XxxxXxxxXxxxXxxxXxxxXxxxXxxxXxxxX

Mikan lay in a bed in the infirmary. She had a pad of paper and a pen in front of her. Since she had lost her voice, she couldn't talk, and so they needed some of communicating.

"Damn it, I told you I was fine!" She wrote, writing the characters extra big.

"No, you're not," Hotaru responded. "The doctor wanted us to look over you."

Mikan rolled her eyes. She was pretty much fine, although her voice wouldn't be returning for a week. She was allowed to attend classes and such, but the doctor wanted Natsume and Hotaru to look after her.

This is such a pain, Mikan thought, getting out of the bed and walking to her first class. Natsume and Hotaru followed her.

"DAMMIT, STOP FOLLOWING ME!!" She wrote, her eyes full of annoyance.

"The doctor said that he wanted us to look over you." Hotaru repeated.

I give up…Mikan thought. Not possible to get rid of them. She opened the door to the classroom.

Everyone stared at them.

"Isn't that Natsume, Imai and Sakura?"

"What are they doing together?"

"Noo, Natsume!!"

Damn it…I knew this would happen…

"What are you doing with Natsume-kun, Sakura?!" Sumire said, glaring at her.

Mikan glared back.

"You're not wanted here!!" She screamed.

Mikan cringed a little bit, and Natsume saw her eyes full of hurt.

Flashback

A family of five was having a Christmas dinner in the dining room. The family was made up of two children and a mother and father. The children were screaming with joy, and the table was filled with many different foods. The joy ended when she walked in.

"I'm back with the bread and milk…" 6-year-old Mikan said, carrying a small basket.

The whole family stared at her in silence as the mother broke it.

"Put it in the kitchen. You're dinner is there, too. Make sure you don't drop it this time."

"Yes…"

She closed the door and made her way to the kitchen, carefully watching were she stepped so she wouldn't drop it so she could have dinner this time.

"Hey, how long do we have to keep her with us?" the father asked, spooning some food into his mouth.

"Yeah, Mamma, how long?" The first child asked.

"She's really weird!! Yesterday, she was by this construction site when this huge metal thing fell on her, and she came out without a scratch or bruise!!!!"

"Plus she's so clumsy…the jar yesterday was the 20th one she broke this week!" The mother added.

"I don't want her here, mamma, papa…"

Mikan sighed. That's right…she wasn't wanted.

And this was how she became cold and rebellious…because no one cared for her…

End of Flashback

Mikan smirked. Yeah. This was how it had always been. People never wanted her around.

She walked over to her seat and sat down, looking outside and waiting for the teacher to come in.

"GOOD MORNING STUDENTS!!!" Narumi shouted cheerfully, walking to the front of the room.

"Oh my, Imai-san and Natsume-kun, please take your seats! Yes, you too, Shoda-san!!!"

What the hell is up with him? Everyone thought, as Hotaru took her seat and Natsume sat down between Mikan and Ruka.

"Okay students! We'll be having a festival in the winter!!" He said, smiling.

"And why the hell are you telling us now? It's SUMMER right now, damn it!" Natsume said, as some people agreed with him.

"Well, we want you to have time to prepare. Oh, and the theme for out class is animals!"

"What?!" Ruka said enthusiastically. He loved animals, thus the white rabbit named Usagi he always carried with him.

"Yup! The theme for the whole festival is Nature, and all the other classes got something like weather, plants and the like."

"Why nature?" Someone asked.

"The headmaster. Since a lot of people's grades are going down in science, he thought this might help." Narumi explained.

Then the headmaster is an idiot, Mikan thought, sighing. And exactly how the hell is this supposed to help us?

"Now I will be assigning groups!" Narumi said.

"Mikan, Natsume, Hotaru and Ruka will be in charge of the musical entertainment!"

N…NANI?!?!?!??! Mikan thought, snapping out of her boredom.

"Kyaa!!" Some girls screamed. "Natsume-kun might sing or something!"

"Ruka-kun, too!"

"I refuse!!" Mikan said, or rather tried to say. Nothing came out as Natsume stared at her and smirked.

"Damn you," Mikan wrote to him.

Narumi started to assign other groups.

Mikan wasn't a bad singer. In fact, she was quite good. But one thing she hated was singing in front of other people. She was embarrassed to do so.

Natsume smirked again.

"What the hell are you smirking at?!" She wrote.

He turned away.

"Okay! And Mikan, Natsume, Ruka and Hotaru, here are the songs you'll be doing for the festival!" He handed her five different songs.

Mikan glared at him, though he continued to smile.

Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it!!!!!!!!! She screamed inside of her head. Her voice didn't work, so she had no way to reject. Wait, her pad!

She looked over to see Natsume holding it and giving her the -I'm-not-giving-it-back-look.

Damn you, she thought. He was going to get it later.

Class was dismissed a little bit after.

This was going to be one hell of a festival. But at least it was in winter…right?

Time flies.

Chapter four, done! Sorry if it was kind of short! If you guys have any song suggestions, please include them when you review! (Please?) Someone actually wanted me to make Mikan in a band, but since I can't fit that in with the original storyline, I'm putting this weird festival thingy in instead…

But yeah! I'm trying to have one song each for Mikan, Natsume, Hotaru and Ruka. And the fifth one…well something that fits all of them. Again, feel free to suggest songs!
