New chapter is released.
Disclaimer: I've had enough using disclaimers...But I do not own Gakuen. The plot, SECRET! LOL!:))
Summary: I'm Mikan Sakura, 24 years old. Wanna know what's my outlook in life? Oh, I just hate it. Why'd you ask? Well, I lost everything that I had in just ONE FREAKING DAY. Unfortunately, when I woke up one morning, I wasn't at home. But on a king-sized bed and a fascinating room. Then, I saw a raven-haired guy walked out of the bathroom, HALF-NAKED! What the? Oh God, please help me…
Chapter 5: "Getting Started!"
RECAP:
"Miss?" a feminine voice snapped me out from my train of thoughts. I looked up to see who it was, and I was shocked to see his fiancée, also described as 'The Tramp' by the girls back at the CR.
"A-Are you talking to me?" I asked. Shit! What kind of question was that huh? I shooked my head but when I looked at her, she was smiling.
"I heard from Natsume that you're his new secretary." she gently said to me and I just stared back with no idea on how to reply to her.
"By the way, I'm-"
"By the way, I'm Luna Koizumi." she introduced herself as she extended her hand for a hand shake. I looked at her hand for some unknown reason before accepting it.
"I'm Mikan. Mikan Sakura." I told her as we did a hand shake.
"Nice to meet you Koizumi-sama." She smiled and I smiled back at her.
"Please, just call me Luna." she said as we both let go.
"But, I don't think it's too appropriate if I address you that way." I told her shyly, and I mean it.
"I'm telling you, it's fine. And I would pull off my tantrums if you call me by my last name." she joked.
"Uhm, okay then, Luna-san."
"You know, I've heard a lot about you from Natsume. You two seem to be close huh?" she added. She seems to be nice, so why would those girls back there call a tramp?
"Uh, y-yeah. We…We used to be close." I told her with complete sarcasm, hoping she wont notice it.
Just then, I heard giggles from behind me so I looked back. Speaking of the devils and the devils will appear, I can't believe that they could stay inside the CR for about, half an hour now? Talking about vanity fairs and stuff, I wouldn't be surprised if they won the most vain awardees of the month. Oh jeez, it's just my first day and here I am, insulting others. I mean, could I even stop it? They did the same thing too, didn't they? When I looked back at Luna, I saw her looking at them, or specifically, glaring at them. They stopped giggling and looked at us like we're some pile of dirt, well it's too obvious that disgust was written all over their faces. They scoffed at us before walking away.
"What's up with them?" I voiced out. Obviously oblivious to the fact why were they acting all bitchy.
"Uhm…Sakura-san, please don't get this wrong impression." Luna started, maybe because she recognized that I saw her glaring at the two bit-I mean, girls.
"Uh, it would be more comfortable if you'd call me Mikan. Just Mikan please." I told her just like what she did a while ago. I mean, seriously, calling you by your last feels a bit weird, and I'm not exactly used to it. Maybe she felt the same way when I addressed her as "Koizumi-san".
"Alright then, Mikan. Like what was I saying, don't get me wrong. It's just that...I don't like the attitude of those girls. You wouldn't want to hang out with them if I were you. And I guess you've seen what they did, haven't you?" she explained, and I didn't know why but I, somehow, wanted to believe what she's saying. I mean, from the start, those girls really didn't like me. And if they did, they would eventually welcome me, approach me and introduce their selves to me, right? But they didn't, so why give a damn on them? I wouldn't go hanging out with them just like what Luna said. And what's with Natsume hiring those kind of girls? Ugh, such a playboy.
"Yeah, I guess you're right." I smiled at her and she returned back the gesture.
"Hey, I guess I better get going. I still need to prepare for the party tonight. See you Mikan-chan. Ja."
"Take care then. Bye." I sighed as I looked at the cold marble floor, just when she walked away. Suddenly, I felt as if my heart flinched a little. Was it because of what I knew just now? That he was actually engaged and be married in God-knows-when? I tried shrugging off what I was thinking but it seemed to be harder than I thought.
"He's your boss, your archenemy back in elementary till now! You have no business with him so stop thinking of his affairs!" I told and slapped myself like crazy. Yeah, I know its weird to talk and slap your own self, but what can I do?
"Get a grip!" I said, which was almost a scream mind you.
"Did you just slap your self? And don't tell me that you were talking to yourself too?" a voice interrupted my thoughts, startling me to the fullest. I looked back to see whoever it was, and it was none other than, my wonderful boss, yet my worst enemy in class, who was actually a pervert since then, till now.
"What are you doing here? Since when did you get here?" I asked him quickly, nervous that he might have heard what I said earlier and that he might get the wrong idea. My heart can't stop from pounding so quickly, especially when I saw him.
"Do I have no rights to be here? I own this place if you've forgotten. Anyway, what were you blabbering about just now?" he asked and I saw him crossing his arms, I sighed.
"I guess that would be none of your business, sir." I told him irritatingly. Who would have thought that I'll be able to see this good-for-nothing-hell-of-a-freak again and ending up being his PA? Ugh! What a great coincidence!
"None of my business? Aren't you forgetting what's your position and why are you here?" he asked me, obviously pissed with what I said earlier.
"Honestly sir, I am not forgetting anything."
"To my office, NOW!" he ordered grumpily as he marched his way back to his office. Oh great! What now? I sighed exasperatedly before following him to his office room.
I walked in and closed the door gently. I let out another quiet, exasperated sigh yet again.
"Seriously, polka, whatever your business is, is my business as well." he said which made me startled for a bit. Weird, I know, but why can't I say something? It's like I liked what he just said now, but I can't do that. I opened my mouth, hoping that I may have something to say, but I end up closing it. In fact, I can't fight back now!
"Oi. Tonight at 8 o'clock sharp, you'll be attending the party. Wear something decent and formal, and don't be late." he ordered. How typical of him.
"Uhm, sir, I uh…" I uttered. How could I even say to him that I don't have something to wear?
"What?" he asked plainly, his face emotionless. Well, what would you expect from a Hyuuga Natsume?
"I, uh…I…" I really can't say. Oh c'mon!
"Spit it out, polka." he said as he kept on looking at me and I had no choice but to look down.
"I…don't have anything to wear." I said, which was almost in a whisper.
"Tch." I heard him scoffed, but I just kept my gaze on the floor.
"Come with me." I heard him say and the next thing I knew, he was actually holding my hand, dragging me out of the building. The next thing he did, he opened the front door of his blue Aston Martin car and pushed me inside. The hell? How rude of him!
"Buckle up, polka. And what's with the angry expression?"
"You really wanna know why? It's because you're so rude and full of yourself!" I screamed, not caring now if he's my boss or what so ever. And guess what? He was staring at me like I'm a culprit or something, making me feel uneasy.
"W-What's with the stare?" I asked bravely, curious as to how he will retort and why was he looking at me that way.
"Maybe you've forgotten, I'm your boss and this is just your first day. And you know what, my family owns the casino and the academy you're studying in. I could sue you and your mom for not paying that 3 million yen. Try remembering your place, Mikan, if you do not want to be in debt forever." he said menacingly, making me gulp and leaving my mouth dry. He sure can be scary at times. And when he said my name, I knew he was serious. Just then, the car started moving, leaving a quiet yet awkward atmosphere between us.
