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. Wednesday. Alice Academy High`

"Mikan! Are you here yet?" asked Anna on her cell phone, and she's standing in the front of the school gate.

"In a minute, just wait. Why the hell do you want to see me now ? I mean, we can talk at class," said Mikan, stating the oh-so-obviously.

"I have a big news. Big one, because I know you'll like it, so hurry up, see you !" Anna hanged up and stared at the school gate, waiting for Mikan.

A minute later, Mikan really arrived, and immediately spotted Anna.

"Oh my gosh Mikan, you won't believe this ! You know about that stupid useless group project where we have to collect signatures and all," Anna paused, "The teachers canceled it. Can you imagine? Canceled it ! Isn't it great?" exclaimed Anna as soon as Mikan approached her.

"What ? Really ? Oh my God ! I don't have to search for that hypocrite girl every single day again ! Yes ! Yes !" jumped Mikan excitedly.

"Told ya' ! Haha," said Anna with a laugh. "I know you'd like-" *THUD* She abruptly stop and realized that she hit a guy by her arm, for being too carried away with Mikan.

"Sorry," Anna said, and met a pair of crimson eyes looking at her, or she should say, mostly looking at her friend next to her.

"Hn, it's fine." replied the guy, still looking at both girls.

"Eh? Natume right? Hi !" greeted Mikan cheerfully.

Instead finding Natsume to reply, his friend, Kitsuneme, suddenly appeared out of nowhere and jumped in the conversation.

"Hey Nat, made new friends?" asked Kitsuneme, and interestedly looking at both girls.

"Erm..hi ! My name's Mikan, and this is Anna," replied Mikan, plus introducing her friend who looked shocked, to see the guy she's been staring at for days, suddenly appeared.

"Nice to meet cha' ! I'm Kitsuneme, call me Kitsu, we're in the same class right? So, you girls came from Alice Academy Junior High?" asked Kitsu.

"Nope, all five of us are newbies from other schools, how about you?" asked Anna, joining the conversation as well.

"Me and Nat are also newbies, so as our other three buds. Maybe five of you can meet our friends up later as well," Kitsu replied, "Right, Nat?"

"Sure." Said Natsume shortly, compared to what his friend just said, he looked like he doesn't talk much.

"Well, that's great ! See you guys later then," said Mikan, then waved with Anna, to continue their walk to the class.

Little do the two boys know that the other two girls were smiling a lot after that conversation.

"Woah dude,I know you don't talk much with girls, but in front of that brunette, you seemed more opened up, am I not right?" teased Kitsu. "It's rare to see you make the first introduction like yesterday at canteen, haha."

"And you talk too much in front of that pinkette, being attention seeker much?" replied Natsume with a smirk.

"Hah, then we're kind of in the same boat, right?" replied Kitsu with a grin.

"Whatever," replied Natsume, then they continue to walk to their class as well.

`Class 3A . Hotaru's POV`

I finally reach this 3rd floor class, after climbing those long stairs. This school's so not efficient. Why don't they build any elevators? And they call it prestigious.

Maybe I should sell my company's technologies here..hmm..it would make a lot of money, and surely mom and dad will give me some fortune of this great sell, not bad…

"Hotaruu ! You won't believe this !" I heard Mikan called me. That one of a kind childish girl will never stop yelling in the morning, will she?

"Right." I said with monotone voice, and point my baka gun. Guess what? I invented it, cool huh? That's for being a daughter of genius parents, don't call us Imai if we're not high-tech.

"Eeeeeggh ! Hotaru ! Come on, this is a breaking news !" she said jumpily.

"Haha, it's true, Hotaru." added Anna with a small smile.

"Alright, seems you're normal, Anna. Mind to explain?" I asked Anna instead of that baka who's grinning around like crazy.

"So cruel.." I heard Mikan mumbled under her breath.

"What did you say?" I asked her and shot some glares.

"Ehe..hehe..nothing.." she replied, and I said, "Good."

"Come on, I'm dying with curiousity here..what's the news?" asked Permy, well, she's the gossip girl after all.

"Me and Mikan just met Natsume and Kitsuneme on the way to class ! Oh my gosh…can you imagine?" sequeled Anna with delight.

"Awww, both of you are soo lucky !" said Nonoko.

"And guess what? They said they'll introduce their other buds with all of us, haha," added Mikan.

"Really? Woah, holy mama ! Meeting five hot guys are never bad idea, good job girls!" said Permy, seems to get excited too.

Wait…I'll get to see that Ruka-blond guy, hmm, if I blackmail him, money will be coming soon, nice…

"Yeah, good job." I said to Mikan and Anna, with a smirk.

"O-oh..Hotaru's up to something bad.." said Nonoko. And my smirk just get wider.

I guess the lady luck's on my side today.

The bell rang, and we went to our own seats, starting the lessons of the day with Jin-Jin.

Call me a genius, but who likes Jin-Jin? That one hell of a math teacher always give homework everyday.

"We're having a test next week, and I expect good scores. Those who have low scores for this first test will go to detention for a whole week, so study, or else." Jinno sensei said while sending stares at those who have possibilities at having bad scores, including Mikan.

I can see her gulping from here, and so are the other students.

This is the advantage of being a genius, no worries at all.

"Also, since the collecting-signature project has been canceled, we, teachers, will give all of you more projects, both personal and group. So be prepared for a lot of projects to make." Said Jin-Jin again, and I swear I can see a glint on his eyes. Tch.

`Lunch break. Canteen. Ruka's POV`

"Finally ! Lunch ! God, I'm so hating Jin-Jin now, what the hell is with him and the test and the homework, and everything !" scowl Koko with a frown.

We're sitting on an empty table and starting to see the lunch menu.

"Well, who doesn't hate him?" I added.

"Inchou doesn't." said Kitsu. "And Natsume too. They're geniuses !"

"Not true !" replied Inchou while seeing the queue at the food corner.

"Say that again, you're dead." said Natsume boredly.

"Wait, it reminds me ! Me and Nat met the Mikan girl ! You know, the girl that Nat really- alright alright don't look at me like that Nat." paused Kitsu with a scared look since Natsume is starting to send some death galres to him . "Shortly, we met her and her friend, Anna, and we, actually I, told them that I'll meet you guys up to their friends !" continued Kitsu again.

"Really ? Nicee, let's go now !" replied Koko, he seems excited to meet that Sumire girl after all.

Me and Inchou just nod our head, then we went to those girls' table.

"Hi again Mikan, Anna !" said Kitsu cheerfully when we reached their table.

All of those five girls shot their heads up to our direction with surprise.

"Oh hi Kitsu ! And Natsume too," said Mikan and Anna.

Natsume just nod his head, while watching the conversation.

"So let's just start over. This is Ruka, Koko, and as you already know, Inchou." Said Kitsu again, while pointing at the three of us.

Me and Inchou flashed a smile while Koko is grinning like crazy, for God's sake.

"Alright, our turn, so this is Nonoko, my twin, Hotaru, and Permy," said Anna.

Then suddenly the green permed girl twitched and said, "Stop calling me that ! It's so not cool."

The girls just laughed, then Koko said while laughing, "Permy? Haha, that's funny !"

"It's not, so don't call me that !" Permy snapped and she's sending galres to Koko while he just stuck his tongue out.

Haha, they're funny to watch and I unconsciously grin.

Suddenly I saw a camera blitz, and I see that the Hotaru girl holding a camera and took a picture of me? What the hell?

"What was that?" I asked her.

"I just took a few pictures of you, I'm going to sell them and make a lot of money." She said plainly, like it's a normal thing to do.

"What ?" I shockedly asked again.

Then the guys laughed, and even Natsume is laughing a bit at her statement.

"Erm, sorry Ruka-pyon, Hotaru's kind of obsessed with money, so blackmailing is one of her hobbies," said Mikan with a grin.

"P-pyon ?" I asked again, oh God, what could be more embarrassing.

Now all of them are laughing, while I felt like sinking deeper to the ground, and Hotaru just took the chance to shot more pictures of me.

"Come on, stop it, Hotaru," I said while grumbling.

"Try to stop me," said Hotaru with a winning smirk on her face.

Before I get to answer, suddenly someone fell down towards Natsume, and even if he's the type that doesn't care much, he caught that person right on time.

`Mikan's POV`

This is so funny, I feel like calling Ruka with pyon, and he seems so embarrassed about it.

Hotaru's got a new target, and she seems like she's having a great time, haha. These guys are nice and funny too, I can see that the girls like them too.

Suddenly, I heard a few gasp, and there, I see someone, or should I say, a girl, inside Natsume's grip.

Luna Koizumi.

Hell.

"Oh my goodness, thankyou very much Natsume ! I was just accompanying her to the infirmary, but she suddenly collapsed, thank God you caught her in time," said Wakako with a worried face, but I can see her smiling in a flash. Shit with their act.

"Hn." replied Natsume, while looking at that pretending Luna in his arms.

The shit is, she looked damn pretty and fragile right now. And Natsume's looking at her with concern. Damn. Obviously her act is way better than Wakako's.

"Uhm, could you help me taking her to the infirmary?" Wakako asked Natsume with a sweet sickening voice in my ears.

"Maybe Ruka will help too?" she asked Ruka now.

Is one guy not enough to bring a girl to the infirmary? What the hell is with her ?

I just looked at her with a weird look and I turned my gaze to my girls.

They are staring at Wakako and Luna, while Hotaru twitched at Wakako's doing.

"Please guys ?" asked Wakako again. "Luna really doesn't feel good today."

And the crowd's starting to surround us, waiting for Natsume and Ruka's reply.

Ruka looked at the guys, as if saying 'we'll go for a while'.While Natsume stared at me for a moment, then sighed, "Alright then. See you guys later." He said to his guys and us girls, while signaling Ruka to help him.

Wakako flashed a huge wicked smile and said, "Thanks guys !"

Then they're off to the infirmary.

Me? I kept on staring at that biatch who's in Natsume's arms. Well, maybe I'm just a friend of him, but still, it makes me jealous. Real jealous. Especially to know the fact that her façade is so perfect. Anyone would've been fooled if only they haven't seen the real Luna, and how she acts towards me and my girls. And the fact is, no one has seen the real Luna except me and my girls. Kill me.

`Koko's POV`

That was unexpected.

Suddenly the most popular girl in school fainted in front of Natsume.

And at the end, Natsume and Ruka left to take her to the infirmary.

I can see that Wakako looked like she's..over reacting?

"That was unexpected, but Nat sure's lucky to have the most popular girl in his arms," I said what's on my mind, and grinned at what I said, trying to melt the tension I saw on the girls' eyes, as soon as the crowd was gone.

"Really unexpected indeed," hissed Permy. Wait, she looks really serious. She knew I was joking right?

"Chill down, Permy." said Nonoko, trying to prevent Permy from talking.

Now I'm curious. What's with these girls and the Student Body Pres and Vice Pres?

"Do you girls have problem with that Luna?" asked Inchou curiously.

Woah, and I thought I am the mind reader.

"Nothing, hehe," replied Anna with a small nervous smile.

"Well, since lunch break won't go forever, why don't we grab some food now? My stomach growled thousands of times already." suggested Kitsu. Seems that he also realized the girls don't like this topic much.

"Alright." said Hotaru. Then I looked at the brunette again, and she's still spacing out after seeing Natsume took Luna to the infirmary.

"Mikan ? Did you hear us?" I asked with concern.

"Eh? Wha-? O-of course, yeah ! Let's take some food," replied her with a small smile.

And then, the rest of the lunch break continued with us talking about anything on our minds, but unfortunately, Natsume and Ruka just showed up after we're back in class and seat in our own seats.

"Hey, what took you guys so long?" asked Kitsu with a hint of curiousity. "Wait..You guys didn't do anything to our school's Student Body Pres and Vice Pres right?" he continued while grinning widely.

"What the hell, seriously Kitsu?" asked Ruka, with a shocked face.

"Hahaha, anything can happen right?" I added.

"So, what took you so long?" asked Inchou this time.

"We just accompany them for a while." Natsume shrugged.

"Did Luna wake up already?" I asked this time.

"Nope." Natsume replied.

Then Reo sensei came in, he's like the school counselor, and it was the end of our conversation.

`Mikan's POV`

Ughh, my mind's keep thinking of Natsume holding Luna in his arms.

Shit, I can't concentrate this way.

How he looked at her with concern, how she looked damn pretty in his arms, how there's a new gossip about they're really going out together as in together...

"Hello again class !" greeted Reo sensei. "So, do any of you have any questions? Since it's the counselor's job to help you answer it." He added with a smile.

"Sensei, I have a question." said a boy, if I'm not wrong, he's called Hiro or something like that, and he holds a lot of information and newest school issues.

"Is it true that the 'collecting-signature' project that you gave to us has been canceled because the principal considered it as pointless?" asked Hiro innocently.

I laughed and so are the rest of the class members.

Reo sensei's face as pale as paper sheet, "It's off of the topic." He answered coldly.

Woah, this means the answer is yes, haha, I guess the principal rocks.

"Ahem. As you can see, there will be more projects from now on. And I already think of a new group project for you." He said with a satisfied smile.

"I'm going to choose your partners of course, and both of you will discuss about your dream or your dream job, and tell me about it tomorrow, since the school have responsibilities to help all of you to be successful people in the future." he explained.

Shit. I've never have a serious dream job. A ballerina, vet, and actress are so not included in dream jobs, since those are my childhood fantasies. Every kids would think of impossible jobs, duh.

"I already chose your partners, so hurry up and find them." continued Reo sensei.

"...Luna and Wakako….Hotaru and Nonoko…Yuu and Ruka…Koko and Sumire…Kitsu and Anna…Natsume and Mikan…"

Triple damn it. Why of all people, it has to be him? I wasn't completely ready after that jealousy moment. Damn you Reo sensei, all of the partners you chose for me are bad.

First I'm with Luna. And now, I'm with him, the one I'm being jealous for. How can my day got worse?

"So now, students, go ahead and find your partner !" said Reo sensei with a grin, God, he's grinning ! He really loves to torture me in group projects.

"Hey baka." I heard Natsume called me. Wait..baka? What the heck.

I shot my gaze towards him, and found him smirking for the God's sake !

"Did you just call me.." I trailed off, still shocked.

"Stupid. Yup. You look like you're going to kill that teacher, and it's stupid." He replied, still with a smirk.

"Urghh, none of your business. Hmph. Just shoo now! I'm soo in a bad mood," I said while burying my head on the table.

"You're stupid alright. I'm your partner, ba-ka." He replied then sat besides me, at the chair where Hotaru already left. Wait again…besides me…oh no…now I'm blushing like tomato and luckily my face's buried on the table. Great. He won't see me blushing like idiot now, will he?

"Come on, let's start already with this stupid discussion." He said again, and I can't answer. My mind's in the 'hiding-my-blush' mission. Great.

"Hey, everything alright, Mikan?" he asked again, now with concern in his voice.

I took a peek at him, and I found his crimson eyes looking at me with curiousity and concern.

Oh not again, now he looked at me like that and he called me by my name, oh no no no, my mission will be failed for sure. Damn, if I don't lift my head up, he'll feel that something's wrong.

"Erm..yeah, nothing's wrong." I said while slowly getting my head up again, tried to hold my blush away.

"Right," he said sarcasticly.

"It's true ! So, let's start this discussion. What's your dream job?" I asked, avoiding whatever question he might ask about the 'blushing' thing.

"Don't have one." He said plainly. Now he looked really serious and stoic.

"Well, me too. I've always envy those people who has dreams, or having special ability to do something for their future. While me? I've always believe that dreams could come true if we keep on believing and try to make it happen. But I never interested in particular jobs, and I'm totally plain. I do everything too normally." then I sighed. It's the truth, "People need passion in life, but I don't feel like I have one."

Did I just say those things? Great, why did I even said that to him? Blame my stupid mouth that always blabbering about things like this.

A few seconds pass, he didn't say anything. Guess I said too much, this is bad.

I glanced towards him, but he just looked at me a bit, then looked straight, avoiding my gaze.

"Uhm..sorry, guess I talked too much….erm, just forgot what I said, it was nothing." I averted my gaze to my desk.

But I feel..disappointed. I don't talk about things like this much even with my best friends or family, since this topic doesn't come up much. Unfortunately my mouth suddenly spilled everything in front of this guy, and he didn't respond anything.

What I said, was not 'nothing'. It was very important, since it's what I feel for my whole life, but what can you say in this situation?

Say 'Please say something?', I don't want him to say something just because I asked for it.

"S-so, how abou-" I abruptly stopped because he suddenly shot his head to my direction.

"What you said, it was wrong." He simply said.

"W-what?" I'm surprised, that's for sure. I thought he would say that it is true.

"Everyone's special, you just haven't noticed it yet. And for passion, do what you want to do, and there you'll have your passion and your dream." He said again, looking deeply at me.

I feel his words are sinking through my head, it feels...right.

To find someone who actually said to me that I'm just like everybody else, that I'm special, and I can do what I always believe.

I feel really content at his words, "Thanks a lot, Natsume, it means a lot to me," I said while flashing a smile to him.

This is probably the first time i got a great advice from a guy-friend.

"Hn." He shortly replied and continued, "So, what do you like to do?"

I grinned and said plainly, "Eat."

`Natsume's POV`

When I took Luna to the infirmary, I can feel this baka is looking at me, when i'm holding Luna in my arms, with unreadable expression.

I don't know what she's thinking, but after I got back to class, I can see her in a bad mood.

She keeps spacing out, was she...jealous?

As if on cue, I'm her partner and I started to tease her, and yes, she's so great to be teased, and I feel like smirking a lot.

But then it happens. She talks about the dream thing, and I don't know what to say. The whole thing that she said was not right, but I don't know how to say it.

So I just stared at her, then avoid her gaze.

She said to forget what she said, and when I looked at her again, she's looking at the desk, with a sad and disappointed face, and she looks like she's spacing out.

This is no good, I don't know what to say, so I finally shot my gaze to her and said the words that crossed my mind.

Finally she smiled and thanked, and it makes me really happy. Don't know why, but it makes me really glad that I can make her smile like that.

Then I asked, "So, what do you like to do?"

And she answered the most impossible thing I could think of right now, "Eat." with a grin on her face.

I suddenly bursted out laughing a bit, and keep on smirking at her like crazy, while she's looking at me with disbelieve.

"Hey, I'm telling the truth here ! Don't you dare laugh !" Mikan pouted at me.

"Pfft...Right, so you're going to eat for the rest of your life? Pig." I said with a smirk on my face, again.

"O-of course not ! And don't call me pig ! I'm just saying what's on my mind, that's it, hmph." She said again with a frown, and looking at me, pissed off.

"Eating's always on your mind, right?" I asked her, trying to hold my laughter.

"Well, not always...wh-wh-what? N-n-no-no-no, that's-that's-" she shuttered, her face as red as tomato, and she couldn't utter a single word.

That's it, I laughed, and ruffled her hair, then whispered in her ear while smirking, "Relax, I won't tell anyone."

"Damn you Natsume !" she blushed even more, then yelled but not loudly at me, and started to hit me like crazy.

"Now you hit me? I promised to not tell anyone, right?" I asked her again, and she stopped hitting.

She's still blushing, and let out a sigh, "This is so embarrassing…" Then she covered her face with her hands, and I just let out a chuckle, and said, "Great to know you realized. So, let's continue this discussion."

`Luna's POV`

Mikan Sakura. She's so dead.

My plan was going really smooth and perfect, well, who can deny my acting after all ? The only people who know about my façade are those bunch of freak show girls.

Everybody saw how Natsume looked at me when I 'fainted', and it was perfect. Wakako said that Mikan was totally shocked and depressed . Great.

But now, from how I see it, Mikan doesn't look depressed at all. At all.

She's freaking laughing with Natsume ! With my Natsume !

No, no, bad move Mikan. Because I always get what I want, I never ever failed, and I won't fail this time. Don't call me Luna Koizumi if I ever failed.

Just you see. Tomorrow's going to be your biggest nightmare, because you're facing a Koizumi.

It seems that Luna will bring her Koizumi power to get what she wants, will she succeed?
