Mikan's a very normal highschool girl. Not popular, not genius, not too pretty or too ugly. She's someone behind the curtains and doesn't stand out much. Enemy : the popular, rich, smart, snobby and selfish Luna with huge façade in school. The guy : the oh-so-great Natsume Hyuuga, almost perfect he is, but not really interested in anything with the word 'school'. This story's trying to prove that friendship and love are the most beautiful colors in life, and how impossible fairytales can happen.

`The Next Day. Tuesday. Mikan's house. Normal POV`

It's early in the morning and Mikan's still inside her comfy bed, refusing to shove her blanket and wake up, even though her alarm already rang non stop.

Suddenly her mother, Yuka Azumi, opened her bedroom with a loud noise, turned off the noisy alarm and forcefully shoved her blanket.

"MIKAN ! Hurry up and wake up ! Your alarm is so noisy, I can even hear it from the kitchen downstairs !" Yuka yelled and shook Mikan, trying to wake her up.

Suddenly, Mikan shot up from her slumber and sat up. "What? I'm late !" she screamed, and added, "And you don't have to be so cruel, mom, there's a lot of ways to wake me up gently." she grumbled. Her mother is actually nice, but often being a loud mouth and has a short-temper.

"You're lucky I woke you up, Mikan, how can you be such a child, you're in high school already, and a prestigious one too, and you can't even wake up on time? Grow up, will you?" said Yuka angrily as she got out of Mikan's bedroom and went downstairs.

Yeah, and her mother just loves to demand things and expect her to be more like this and more like that and it won't stop.

"Great, I just woke up and already got lectured, " Mikan sighed loudly, she's feeling dizzy for getting up so suddenly.

"Wait, today I will meet that guy from yesterday…" she whispered really softly. Her mind's suddenly traveled to yesterday's events, and she just sat there on her bed, remembering her encounter with the guy with raven hair and mesmerizing crimson eyes.

"I wonder if the other girls are excited to see those guys again...hmm...Wait. I'm late ! Shit !" Mikan quickly ran to her bathroom and took a 3-minutes shower, put on her uniform and glasses, comb her hair neatly, and went downstairs.

"Alright, I'll leave !" she bid goodbye to her mom and also her dad, Izumi Yukihara.

"Wait, you're not eating breakfast?" her dad asked. "I'm late, gotta run !" Mikan put on her shoes and ready to dash out when her dad called again, "Hey, you should eat your breakfast, Mikan. I'll drive you to school so you won't be late. How's that?" Izumi asked with a smile on his face, knowing that Mikan will 100% accept his offer.

"Really? Of course I will ! Thanks dad !" exclaimed Mikan happily.

"You're too kind Izumi," said Yuka flatly. "She should be left hungry, so we could see how much will Hotaru sell the food for our daughter." her mother winked with a smirk on her face.

"Heyy, no fair ! You're on Team Hotaru !" complained Mikan while she's eating some toast and a glass of milk.

After she's done with the breakfast, her father started the car engine, while she bid her mother goodbye. Then, she's off to school.

`Alice Academy High. Mikan's POV`

Yeah ! Dad rocks ! I'm definitely not late today. Glad he didn't have to go to the office early today. Both of my parents are working, but in the different places. Usually dad will leave to work together with mom, and dropped her off at her office. But sometimes, they will leave by themselves if dad has to go early.

I continued to walk to my class, 3A, and reached the door. This is it. I can probably see him.

I nervously open the door and walk inside. A lot of people have came, I can see that all of my girls have arrived and chat. I scanned the room and only found Inchou, the dirty sandy colored hair-guy, and the fox-eyes guy. *sigh*.

No signs of him.

I walked to my seat, which is in the same row with Permy, Anna, and Nonoko who sit together, while I share the same seat with Hotaru.

"Hey girls," I greeted them. "Hi Mikan, glad you finally come. These three have been ogling those guys that we met yesterday for ever, and that's stupid." replied Hotaru flatly, with mocking tone.

Really? I turned my head towards Permy, and yes, she's stealing glances to that dirty sandy colored hair guy. And so as Nonoko to Inchou and Anna to the fox-eyes guy.

"Hello? Earth to Permy, Anna, and Nonoko !" I raised my voice so they can hear me.

"Huh? Mikan ! You're here !" Anna and Nonoko chorused.

'When did you came?" asked Permy. Wow, all of them really love-sick huh? Haha, maybe they're just like me anyway.

"Just now, soo, since you've been locking your eyes on those guys, have you find out their names? Except Inchou of course, because I'm tired of saying what-hair-colored-guy. " I finally said.

"Unfortunately no ! We're too far from them and we can't hear what they're talking about," pouted Anna.

"Woahh, all of you really hooked to those guys !" I'm surprised, they're even more…eager than me.

"Well duhh, it's rare to find good looking guys that don't act snobbish and picky, these days." replied Permy.

"See what I mean? They're totally sickly love-struck." said Hotaru coldly again.

"Haha, they really are. Because of that Naru sensei skipped the students' introduction, we have a hard time finding out their names, huh?" I asked, I'm really tired to describe the guys' hair everytime we mention them, well… And part of me also want to know the raven haired guy's name.

"You bet." said Nonoko. Suddenly the door's opened. And I can't believe what I'm seeing. Oh God.

The next thing I know, our eyes widen at the same time, and we can't utter a single word.

`Normal POV`

"What ? Are they going out together ?"

"Oh my gosh, I'm really jealous with those guys."

"Luna-sama, why did you leave meee?"

"Hey, who's that other girl? Is she Luna-sama's friend?"

"Woah, those guys are hot!"

Just like that, when the door's opened, the 3A class suddenly hit by chaos. All of the students talk at the same time, with the very same topic.

Guess what just happened? Luna, the Alice Student Body President, just walked in together with a certain guy with raven hair and deep crimson eyes, and her best friend, Wakako, walked in with a certain blond guy with piercing topaz eyes.

But it seems they ignored the crowd and walk to their separated seats.

When a group of students are starting to surround their tables, suddenly the door bursted out open again, but this time, Narumi sensei waltzed in with frilly clothes and his wavy blond hair is neatly combed.

The students, being freshmans of course, immediately quite down and seat on their own seats.

"Good morning everyone ! How's it like for surviving two weeks here in Alice Academy High?" Narumi sensei cheerfully asked, seems like he didn't realize that the class was in a chaos just before he arrived.

Mumbles of 'fine' and 'good' replies come out as a reply, and it seems that he's satisfied.

"Great ! So, is there anything you want to ask before we start the English Literature lesson?" Narumi asked once again.

Then, Koko shot his hand up in the air, and said plainly, "Sensei, we missed the students' introduction."

xx

`Natsume's POV`

It had only been two weeks in this stupid school and I already attracted lots of attention. Damn.

Why did that strawberry blondie girl suddenly talked to me anyway? I didn't even know her, and we've never met.

But she suddenly talked to me, real close, and a few times, I can see her trying to impress me. Well, she doesn't seem to have problems at impressing people. It feels like she's used to impress a lot of people already.

She's slim, has the perfect curve, and beautiful, just like a model. And she seems popular too, because a lot of people greet her on the way to the class as 'Luna-sama'. What the heck with the '-sama'? Maybe she's rich?

She's the type that guys would die for, but of course I won't go with any girl I just met.

From what I see, she seems trying to attract my attention, well, this is not my first, but luckily she doesn't drool over me. She doesn't look bitchy, because she doesn't wear revealing clothes, but still, why does something feels weird, but I don't know whether if it's good or bad.

On the other side, her friend seems to be trying to impress Ruka who can handle it perfectly well. We sure are not childhood best friends for nothing.

When the class' door is opened, suddenly all of them look at us, and start to talk and making gossips about me with the 'Luna' girl, and Ruka with the other girl. But we immediately separate to our own tables. I can see Koko, Kitsuneme, and Inchou, who sit in the same table, grinning at me and Ruka from the back rows already.

Just after me and Ruka sat in our seat, a bunch of our classmates suddenly surround us, but again, the door's opened and our so-called teacher, that really looks gay, waltzed in.

This is going to be boring, so I ignore that gay teacher and look at my surroundings. Then it hit me. I saw that brunette girl, sitting in the middle row with one of her friends. Well, this might not be a boring day after all.

Suddenly, I saw Koko put his hand up. What is he up to?

"Sensei, we missed the students' introduction." he said while took a quick glance at the green permed hair girl from yesterday. Oh, I see, seems like he wants to know that girl's name. Not bad Koko, since I silently curious with the brunette girl too.

After a few 'of course, I forgot' chat from the gay teacher, we started the introduction.

xx

`Normal POV`

"Who wants to introduce yourself first? Or do anyone has any idea who should introduce themselves first?" asked Narumi sensei.

"How about our Alice Student Body President, sensei?" asked a few boys who are attracted to Luna.

Narumi sensei twitched his eyebrows a bit and slightly shrugged, only a few students aka Mikan, Hotaru, Permy, Anna, Nonoko, Natsume, Ruka, Koko, Inchou, Kitsuneme, Luna, and Wakako, who realized this.

"Well, alright then. Luna-chan please come forward." said Narumi sensei with hesitation in his voice.

Luna came forward, and flick her waist long strawberry blonde hair before saying, "Hey all ! My name's Luna Koizumi, and I'm your Alice Student Body President. Please don't be hard on me." Then she winked and lift her skirt a bit to take the boys' attention. Unfortunately, only the boys in the front rows can see this, and their eyes are starting to widen.

"Is it true that you're the daughter of Lucy Koizumi, the top Japan model and owner of 'Koizumi Fashion Line Company', the biggest world wide fashion company in Japan? And that you're the winner of the Science International Competition for 3 years in a row?" asked a guy with hearts on his eyes.

"Well, yes. I'm flattered that you know that much about me," Luna giggled a bit.

The whole class seems really surprised by this fact, and started to stare in awe at her.

"Ehrm, so, let's continue, shall we? From the back of the row, introduce yourself one by one, and anyone can ask any questions.

The introduction keep on going, and the only girls that got asked some questions are only Luna and Wakako.

"Hello everyone ! My name's Wakako Usami, and I'm the Alice Student Body Vice President. Nice to meet you guys." she shot a sweet seducing smile.

"No way, you're the daughter of the prime minister in Japan ! The great Hiroki Usami himself !"

"Glad you know my daddy," replied Wakako with a giggle.

And again the whole class awed once again. But the introduction still continues.

"Hey everybody ! I'm Kokoro Yome, just call me Koko, and I like anything funny !" exclaimed Koko, the dirty sandy colored hair guy.

"Hi, my name is Yuu Tobita, and as you already know, I'm your class' representative." said Inchou with a small smile.

"Hi everybody ! I'm Kitsuneme. Just Kitsuneme, and I've always wanted to try to fly !" said Kitsuneme, the fox-eyes guy while laughing.

"Hi everyone, my name's Ruka Nogi." said Ruka, the blond guy with topaz eyes, with a smile.

"Natsume Hyuuga." stated Natsume, the raven haired guy with crimson eyes, plainly.

Well, of course Ruka and Natsume got a lot of attention, but they immediately went back to their chair, as if saying they won't answer anything. Now, it's the girls' turn.

"Hello everyone, my name is Anna Umenomiya, and I love to cook." Said Anna, the pinkette with a smile.

"Hello everyone, my name is Nonoko Ogasawara, even though we have different last names, me and Anna are actually a twin. And I love chemistry." explained Nonoko, with an identical smile with Anna.

"Hello, my name's Sumire Shouda, and I love shopping." said Permy, the green permed hair girl proudly.

"I'm Hotaru Imai. Don't mess with me." said Hotaru, the short haired girl, with stoic face.

"Hello everybody ! My name's Mikan Sakura, pleased to meet you all." said Mikan, the brunette haired girl with a huge smile plastered on her face.

After everyone got their turn at introducing themselves, Narumi continued the studying session until the lunch break.

One thing for sure, those five girls and five guys are no longer curious about each other's names.

xx

`Lunch break. Mikan's POV`

This day can't get any worse, just plain awesome. The guy that I'm interested in, is the guy that I just met yesterday. Imagine, yesterday, and I don't even know him.

And that guy looked like he's going out, or probably interested, in my number one enemy.

Also guess what? My enemy is the oh-so-called-perfect girl, popular, slim, beautiful, rich, and smart Student Body President.

And who am i? A normal girl, that being called a nobody or freak by my enemy.

Welcome to reality, Mikan. Blame that Natsume Hyuuga and Luna Koizumi.

I unconsciously put my hands on the canteen table, put my head on top of them and let out a sigh.

"Hey Mikan, don't be depressed," said Nonoko, trying to cheer me up.

"Yeah, come on, you haven't even meet him properly, don't give up now," said Anna.

"Well, that's my point. I only know his name and his face. And I like him. I feel like I'm insane, how can I got interested in someone that I don't even know." I let out a sigh again, maybe I'm just dreaming too much, since I've never had a boyfriend before.

I feel like a stupid fan girl, and I hate fan girls because they're too exaggerating everything.

"Hey, this is not an ending. It's a beginning. So, we can't decide the outcome now because we're still at the beginning." stated Permy. "And don't forget, Hotaru won't let her...business plan, got ruined because of a few bitches."

I laughed at her statement, and looked at Hotaru who's eating some crab brain and quietly nod, agreeing at Permy's statement.

"Hahaha, alright then, we won't know till we try, right?" I smiled at them and my mood's turning up again. "I'm grabbing some food now, you girls want to take some too?" I asked.

"No thanks, Mikan, we actually took it already when you're banging your head to the table, haha." laughed Anna.

"Hey, I didn't bang my head," I protested while sitting up and turning my body around towards the food corner, "I wasn't that depr-" My words suddenly stopped because I saw him. Right there, at the back of the line at food corner. "-essed.." I continued, still keeping my gaze on him.

"Uhh..for the second thought, I'm not hungry," I finally decided. No way I'm getting near him again. No. I will do something stupid for sure.

"What? Since when does Mikan Sakura skipped lunch?" asked Anna confusedly.

Permy who noticed my gaze, smirked and said, "Oohh, I see.. You're waay, too shy, girl."

"I'm going to do something stupid if I'm near him. No way." I replied, and no way I'm going to be embarrassed right now, and my heart's not ready to get near that guy again. Arrghh, what's wrong with me? Why can't I just gather my confidence at times like this?

"Get there, or you'll forever having debt with me." said Hotaru suddenly, with a small smirk. Dang it. She knew I won't get there no matter what, and she wants me to have debt with her. Oh great, what should I choose?

"I'll go there." I finally said, gathering my confidence and pray that I made the right decision to not having debts with the Ice Queen for the rest of my life, and walked towards the food corner.

"Yeah! Don't be too shy, Mikan, your shy level is sooo high." said Nonoko softly.

She's right, but the problem is, I've never been mesmerized like this before, because...

Wait, the food corner's queue is suddenly only 1 meter ahead, did I walk that much? Nooo, I walked too fast !

I saw the Hyuuga guy, still at the back of the queue. Great, now I have to queue behind him, and it's stressing me out, just because I'm at close distance with him. I'm soo having troubles with guys.

Then I queue behind him, and thank God he wasn't looking.

Well, it's a bit of a lie.

I actually half hoped that he would recognize me or anything, but he didn't. He just stare blankly at his half full food tray.

Suddenly I felt soo hungry, so I immediately took the food I wanted and unconsciously forgot about the smokin' hot guy in front of me. After a few minutes, it's the end of the line, and he suddenly looked back and his eyes widen a bit.

O-oh, did he caught me looking?

xx

`Natsume's POV`

It's lunch break. Me and my buds went to the school canteen and grab a table. And they started talking about the girls' names that they just figured out.

Koko's keep mentioning the word 'Sumire Shouda', while Inchou and Kitsuneme keep mentioning about 'twins'. While Ruka? He just smiled, and said nothing.

"Ruka, so, did any girl caught your attention? Is it the Wakako Usami girl?" teased Kitsuneme with a silly grin on his face.

"N-no, well, I don't know, I-I mean, I don't care." replied Ruka, he's stammering, bad move, Ruka.

"Really? Or is it the Hotaru Imai?" asked Inchou this time with curiousity.

Ruka suddenly blushed a bit. He didn't answer, but I guess he's interested in both girls.

"What about you, Nat? You're awesome man ! To make the Luna Koizumi attracted to you," Koko said while whistling.

I just shrugged. "Hey, come on, she's hot, popular, smart, rich, what else can you ask?" asked Koko again while smirking. Shit. I know where he's up to. "Or maybe you're also interested in that Mikan Sakura, eh?" he continued.

"Shut up, Koko." I said and shot him a glare. He's a mind reader, he is, he must be.

"Haha, you're in the same stake with Ruka, no wonder you're childhood best friends." stated Inchou.

"Don't know." I said while standing up. "I'm grabbing some food."

Then I walked to the food corner after taking a glance at the specific bunch of girls that we met yesterday. There's the brunette, and she's…burying her head on the table? What the hell is with her? Damn, why am i interested anyway?

I started to queue and just focused on my food tray. But Koko's words keep ringing in my ear. Who am I interested more, Luna, or Mikan? Well, I don't know both of them much,so I guess I'll just see.

It's the end of the queue, but I got a feeling someone's staring at me. So without thinking much, I shot my head to the person behind me, and my eyes widen in surprise.

It's that brunette girl. Looking at me with unsure look on her face. Her hair doesn't look as messy as when she's at the mall, but there are no changes in her features, still the natural girl I'm interested with.

"You're Mikan, right?" I plainly asked, trying to make her unsure look disappear.

She's surprised. "Y-yeah, and you're...Natsume?" she asked, nervously. What ? Did I do anything wrong? So why the hell is she nervous?

"Yup. We've met, at Starbucks, yesterday?" I continued asking. Now she looked...relieved? And happy too. Good.

"That's right ! Nice seeing you again." she replied with a smile on her face. Damn, it feels weird. She's not the most beautiful girl I've ever met, but I felt…stunned by her.

"Umm, Natsume? Anything wrong?" she called me. Wait, did I space out? Shit.

"It's nothing." I replied, trying to look usual.

"Ehm, alright then, see you later !" she flashed another smile and left to her table.

Damn, she's stunning alright, but how?

Mikan Sakura, you better watch out, cause I'm damn interested in you.

xx

`Mikan's POV`

".God. Did you girls see that ?" I jumped a little when i finally reached our table.

"We did ! And it was smooth Mikan, really great ! I don't know you can talk normally to guys like that, after seeing you shy and all." Permy winked at me.

"See, I told you." said Nonoko with the 'told-you' look.

"Hahaha, thanks girls ! I can't believe I actually talked to him !" I squealed in low voice.

"What did he say?" asked Hotaru with curious in her eyes.

"Well, he called me,and said that we've met at Starbucks." I said, "Oh right, then he spaced out?" I added.

"Haha, not bad Mikan," continued Anna, with a hint of laughter in her voice.

Well, maybe I've changed from the old me, that's good.

And now I feel like I want to talk with him again, it feels…great. Dang it, I hope I'll get to know him better. Maybe my life can be filled with more colors, just like I've always dreamed of after all, even though everytime we met was kind of a mere coincidence.

xx

`Normal POV`

The canteen's of course crowded at times like lunch breaks, and everyone's enjoying their time.

Unfortunately, not everyone, because a certain strawberry blonde girl is glaring daggers at a brunette girl and a raven haired boy that just talked together.

xx

It is a beginning, but beginnings don't always start with good things.
