The morning wind brushed past her dorm window. Sunlight poured over the sheets of the bed. Brunette hair glistened with a tint of a beautiful blonde. A light groan escaped her lips while she turned over in the bed. Silence began to fill the room back up again at least for a minute. An alarm gradually began to play a tune, which was very familiar to the girl's ears. "I could lift you up. I could show you what you wanna see. And take you where you want to be."

Mikan snapped her eyes open in a slight rush. Gazing at her alarm clock, she realized it was already seven fifty. Those emerald eyes of hers lite up in a panic. Ten minutes. Only ten minutes until her first class started up for the day. Without even turning off her alarm, she dashed around her room frantically grabbing clothes. While tugging on her skinny jeans and pulling on a sweatshirt a line from her alarm caught her attention. "In a tidal wave of mystery, you'll be standing next to me." A cute expression overtook her features when she heard it.

Natsume Hyuuga. She gingerly thought. It had been two weeks since they last talked. Not that she expected him to call her up anytime soon. Of course, she hadn't exactly tried to call him though. Well, she was but then Anna scared her causing a slip of the finger. Whoops, she accidentally deleted his number. Classes had started back up, well happened to start back up on the one night she tried hunting for his number. Now, that was exhausting. If anything, Mikan was so hoping that he could find a break in his schedule to call her. After all, he did say he was super famous.

"I wonder what he's doing right now?" Mikan said out loud to herself while brushing out her hair. A sudden text made her phone vibrate in front of her. Shaking her thoughts away she picked up the pink phone clicked on the message.

Hotaru:

Anna said you're not in class yet. Care to explain?

Mikan huffed and closed the door behind her. Practically sprinting down the dorm hallways, she typed on the phone. First day back and she had no plans of being late. Though, how on Earth was she going to make it to her class in three minutes?

My alarm decided to wake me up an hour later. :(

Between the panting and short breaths she had made it to her class, in record time too. The teacher gave her a funny look only lifting his eyebrow before writing back on the board once again. Anna immediately saw her and waved for her to come over. Once again, her phone vibrated in her pocket.

Hotaru:

Idiot, forgot we had school, didn't you? Whatever, just saw you running across campus. Assuming you made it to class. Text you later.

Mikan gently smiled down at her phone after sliding into the seat next to Anna. Hotaru sure could be funny in her own way. That was another reason she loved her best friend no matter what. Anna smiled, "Did you forget we had class? I thought you were really going to miss our first day back!" A light giggle passed her lips.

The brunette pouted, "Hey! I'm not that irresponsible! My alarm just went off an hour late."

"I bet you were up all night talking to a boy and forgot to set your alarm to the right time!" Anna chimed.

Er, something like that. Mikan thought.

"Yeah, right Anna! My alarm just went off an hour late, that's all." She smiled.

"Okay, okay. I was just messing with you, Mikan." They both looked at each other and laughed. Today, seemed like it was going in a pretty good direction. Their teacher went on about math problems that most of the students could care less about. Even, though Mikan was majoring in Performing Arts, she still had to take an annoying Math class and other classes that she struggled to understand. Performing Arts was the best in the end. It was something she understood and loved with all her heart. The class was obviously amazing, considering she did above and beyond what the teacher expected. From helping out after school hours to tutoring other students, Mikan did it all. Most probably would have never expected her to be the tutoring type, but she gladly was. After all the years of growing up, she was pretty satisfied at what she was accomplishing in her life.

The day rolled on without anything out of the normal routine. Science was absolute boring, same went for Math. Homework- oh the homework was already piling up once again. Three pages of homework for Math and a whole essay for Science due in two days. To make things worse, she didn't have any Performing Arts classes until Thursday! This was exactly why she despised Mondays sometimes.

Using her key card, she pushed the door to the dorm wide open. Mikan threw her small bag on her bed then promptly dumped all the books on her bed. Sighing, she glanced down at her phone. There was a text from Ruka, another from Anna and one from Hotaru. Leaning against her pillows, she quickly typed back to each of them. Ruka was asking about her day, Anna wanted them to work on homework together, and Hotaru asked if she had done anything new lately.

Hm, what's Hotaru up to? She quietly thought to herself. It wasn't like her best friend asked about those kinds of things. Somehow, she felt suspicious and clicked the call button for Hotaru. The phone rang, a voice entered the line, "I thought I told you not to call me unless it was an emergency?"

"It is an emergency. I think your sick." Mikan laughed.

"Ha, ha. Whatever. If you don't have anything important to say, I'm hanging up." The raven haired girl said sternly.

"I was just wondering why you sent me that text. You know the one you sent a while ago?" She rolled over the pillows.

"You've acted strange lately." Hotaru's voice smoothed out of the line.

"Me? What do you mean?"

The girl sighed, "Your daydreaming all the time, not that you don't do that on a daily basis. It's been happening way more often lately. Plus, you've been staring at your phone all throughout the day. Kind of strange if you ask me, Mikan."

"O-oh. Gee, sorry, Hotaru. Didn't realize, I had been, er, acting that way. Guess, I'm just a little home sick."

"Nice try, you were just home less than three days ago." Hotaru smirked while holding the phone to her ear.

"I mean, uh, I'm sick! Yeah, really sick, I think I have the flu now." She faked a cough.

"Fine, be that way." Her voice was icy. "Not like I'm your best who you tell everything. Let me know when your done with your crap."

"Hotaru-" The phone clicked. Mikan felt her eyes start to water. Why couldn't I just tell her? It's not a big deal! Oh, stupid me. Sometimes, I still act like I'm ten, geez! But, if I tell her I'm talking to a complete stranger I met from a prank call. That said he was famous and...oh no. I can't tell her! She'll think I'm crazy. Ugh, why did I have to get myself into this? Then again, I really like talking to him. Maybe Hotaru will understand. I should call her back, shouldn't I?

After twenty minutes of debating, Mikan decided to just deal with everything tomorrow. Hotaru couldn't stay mad at her forever. Heck, they loved each other like sisters. Yeah, just like real sisters. Papers crinkled under her hands with the pencil furiously dancing over the page. The homework wasn't too bad, Mikan managed to get half of her Math done and still had a two more days to finish up her Science essay. Wait, was she actually enjoying doing homework? Ew, maybe Hotaru's intelligence was wearing off on her. Placing herself back down on the bed, Mikan found comfort in hugging the pillow. Feeling sleeping, her eye lids gently closed shut.

That's when she felt her phone vibrating in her jean pocket. Quickly she bounced back up, almost ripping the fabric from her pants after yanking the phone out. Without even looking at the Caller ID she clicked the answer button. Assuming it was Hotaru she bashed out whatever was jumbled in her mind.

"I'm so sorry! I should have just told you, gee, I'm so stupid, huh? Please forgive me! Your my sister, well not exactly, um, technically! But, your like a sister to me. I promise I'll-"

Mikan was suddenly cut off from her speech, "Sounds like you've had a rough day." The husky voice rang out through the line. Goosebumps erupted on her skin from his voice. Yet, she didn't even know what he looked liked and her body was reacting this way. Next thing, she knew a feeling of embarrassment washed over her, realizing she had just gushed out like an idiot. Mikan didn't care though because he had finally called her. She wanted to get up and praise the whole freaking town! He had called her! Mr. Famous had called her! That meant he saved her number or wrote it down at least. Everything- all of her thoughts disappeared out the window at that moment. The happiness consumed her before she was finally able to speak.
