Hi! So I got a little curious on how this would work out since the storyline was originally for an English assiginment, but I just wanna try it out. Hope you like :)
Oh and yes the descriptions are a little ehh.. but hey, I did my best ;p

Ch. 2

I couldn't stop looking, I was completely mesmerized. Ms. Serena cleared her throat and my hypnotism ended, coming back to reality. "Mikan, may I speak with you outside please?" Ms. Serena asked. I nodded, not really sure of what was going on. I trudged outside, once the door closed, she laid it on me thick. "Your English grade first semester isn't very good. Now I understand that you want to go to a university." she said.

"Yes, Toudai to be precise. Was my grade really that bad?" I wondered.

"Mmm, not exactly, but if you want to get into Toudai, you must have outstanding grades and extracurricular activities on your resume."

"Would I be able to get in if I get an A this semester?"

"You can try, but I think you may have to apply to community college with your grades." she bluntly said. 'With my grades?' Wow, you might as well stab my hand with a spoon.

"I..I see. Thank you for the advice. I'll do my best." I felt like my dreams were crushed. My dream was to get into Toudai, then study abroad in Korea. I've always wanted to live in Korea, but..I guess it's gonna take even longer to reach it.

I went back inside class feeling dejected. I couldn't focus on Huck Finn, I kept trying to make a new plan for what to do with the rest of my high school life. I probably have to sacrifice my senior year to get enough credits and brownie points for my application to Toudai. 'Sigh, so much for a stress free senior year'.

The bell rang and it was brunch. After putting things in my locker, I went to the usual spot to meet up with Sumire. "Mikan!" she yelled really yelled it surprised me.

"Woah, what's up?" I asked.

"There's a new kid and he's so cute!" she exclaimed.

"Red Eyes?"

"Yeah, how'd you know?" she gave me that look.

"He's in my second period. Pretty quiet." Not to mention pretty. Sumire gasped and grabbed my arm.

"Did you talk to him?" she started getting excited.

"Nope. I was busy with other stuff." she looked disappointed. She went on about how he looked like those guys from movies we'd liked to watch. We went into the new cafeteria to grab some food, when we saw him again. He was with a group of other people. 'Ahh, that smile again.'

Sumire kept admiring him from afar. "Why don't you go talk to him?" I asked.

She gave me a look like I was crazy. "You're practically drooling over him! This is the first time I've seen you act like this, it's kind of amusing." I snickered.

"No way, that's too nerve wrecking. I don't even know what to say." she sighed.

"A simple 'Hi' would be fine." I suggested. She nodded and got up. She started walking towards him, I started getting nervous myself.

Sumire stopped right in front of him but made it seem like the new dude was in the way of her getting to the bathroom. After she passed him, she practically ran to the bathroom. I felt my mouth open from shock. 'So much for that.' I thought as I got up and headed for the bathroom.

She was pacing when I entered. "What happened out there?" I asked her, trying not to laugh.

"I don't know, my mind went blank when he was right in front of me!" the embarrassment showed on her face. After she calmed down, we left to go to class since the bell rang. My next class, Intermediate Algebra, was gonna be boring. It was fun and easy, but all Mr. Narumi does are lectures. Not exactly the funnest thing to listen to.

In my mental groaning state, someone tapped my shoulder. "Excuse me?" I turned around. I felt my eyes widen.

"Do you know where room 501 is?" the pretty boy asked. He looked better up close. His rouge eyes were sparkling, his jaw line was...wow. He had high cheek bones, that would make a person look like someone injected too much botox . His smile took my breath away.

I didn't realize how long I was staring at him, the embarrassment overwhelmed me, "I-I'm sorry, what'd you say?" 'Great, way to stutter you idiot'.

"Do you know where room 501 is?" he asked again.

"Oh. It's in the 500 wing. I'm actually heading to the 500 wing right now. I'll show you." I said. We walked through all sorts of crowds before reaching the 500 wing. "What room did you say?" I asked.

"501."

"Okay so it's over-wait a minute. 501? That's my class.." I thought aloud. He himself looked surprised as well. "Really? What a coincidence." he chuckled.

"Yeah. Right." I walked ahead of him processing what was going on. I paid no mind to him after walking in the classroom. I headed straight for the couch where Koko sat. "'Sup Mikan?"

Koko is a good friend of mine. He tells some funny stories and likes to crack a lot of jokes. He's funny, but also a bad influence. He smokes weed a lot, but he knows not to do that shit around me. I keep telling him to stop, but he just won't listen. He's a good guy, but just does the wrong things.

"There's a new kid in our class." I said.

"Oh really? Where he at? Gotta give him a big welcome pat." I pointed to where the new kid was. I noticed he was kind of dark. His skin wasn't pale like an average person in Japan, but he wasn't burnt either, it was just a light brown color. He was wearing a flannel underneath a fitted jacket. His jeans weren't super skinny, but they weren't really baggy. He wore converse like me, the original black and white low tops.

"I'm done." Koko said.

I laughed. "Why?"

"Look at him." I did another quick glance.

"And?" Koko scrutinized me.

"He looks like Ruka!" he exasperated.

Ruka was another friend of mine, who I also happened to have had a crush on last year. Sophomore year was seriously a bad year. My crush on Ruka was, I admit, big, but everything is done and over with. Sure, I wanted to punch him in the face for what he put me through, but it's whatever now.

Before I could say anything, Mr. Narumi interrupted the class, "Guys, we have a new student. His name is Natsume. Give him a hand!" Some people clapped, I thought I heard someone give a loud 'whoop'. His seat was all the way on the other side of the class from me. It's a good thing I won't be hypnotized this period.
