Just kill me already. He hates me! Come on, what did I do to offend this guy?
I was sitting by the breakfast table, eating my breakfast with an unknown guy. He didn't talk to me, so I didn't know if I should talk to him. He seemed busy. I guessed that he was the guy Tsubasa told me about the night before; their friend that was working last night. I had to admit, he was handsome. He had short raven black hair and his crimson red eyes were really beautiful. His right ear had a gold plate with dragon carvings. Just by looking at him, I knew he worked out. He was wearing a shirt that hugged his muscles and dark brown jeans. When he entered the room and saw me there, he just stared at me for a long time. I stared back. After that he just looked away and went to the refrigerator. I guess he was just tired. I smiled relived when Tsubasa-sempai entered the room.
"Good morning, Tsubasa-sempai!" I grinned.
"Good morning, Mikan-chan. I see you have met Natsume."
I was right.
"So you're Natsume? It's nice to meet you." I smiled at him.
"Hn."
I looked over at Tsubasa-sempai, confused.
"Don't expect more than that."
I looked down at my food and continued to eat.
"Mikan-chan, do you drive?" Tsubasa-sempai asked as he sat down with a cup of coffee.
"I'm still learning" I told him.
"Will you let me teach you?" He grinned.
"Do you want to die?"
I was really surprised when Natsume suddenly spoke.
"W-what?"
"It's the same question. It's not safe to learn how to drive from an idiot."
"What is the matter with you?" I glared at him and stop up. "What gives you the right to insult others like that? What exactly did he do to you? You're arrogant. I've known you for less than 30 minutes and I already know that you are that type that I despite." I walked out of the room and ran up to my room. I saw a uniform on my bed. Who put it there? It was the same as Yuu's uniform, except I had a skirt instead of pants. Ruka offered me a ride to school.
"Ne, Ruka? Why do you all have a car each? Can't you guys share?" I asked when we sat in the car.
"Why do you ask?" He looked confused.
"Just wondering."
"Well, it's easier if something happens. Our schedules aren't always the same. Sometimes classes are moved or cancelled."
"Hmmm..." I nodded.
"Sakura-san?"
"Call me Mikan."
"Mikan-chan?"
I giggled and asked him what he wanted to say.
"Why did you yell at Natsume this morning?"
I was surprised by his question, and it took me a few seconds to be able to answer. "He got on my nerves. He was arrogant and insulted Tsubasa-sempai like he's better than him.
"He's really popular with the students at school, especially the girls. In fact, except his family, you're the first girl I know of that has talked back to him that way."
"How can they like an arrogant jerk?" I blurted out. Ruka laughed and stopped the car. I stared at the school. It was huge! Ruka walked me to the principal's office, where I got my schedule and other information that I needed. My first class was together with Ruka. I sat beside him. In front of us were Koko, Kitsu and Natsume. He glared at me and I glared at him back. I sat down and leaned on the wall as a teacher came in. He stared at me.
"New student?" he asked.
I stood up.
"I'm Mikan Yukihara Sakura." I smiled.
"Welcome to Alice Academy, I'm Misaki-sensei."
I was bored during that class. I looked around. I noticed that Ruka was looking at a girl. She was really pretty, with short black hair and purple eyes. She looked really mature and was working on something I didn't know what was. I tapped his shoulder and smirked when he looked at me. He just looked down to hide his blush. I giggled quietly and looked over at the girl again. Around her were two other girls. One of them had short green hair with several distinctive curly, long strands at the front. Her bangs are cut straight across, reaching the tip of her eyebrows. Her eyes were green. She was sitting and painting her nails. The third girl was really cute. She had long blue hair and blue eyes. My thoughts were interrupted.
"Mikan?" I looked up.
"Yes?"
"Class is over. Want to join us for lunch?"
I smiled at the boys standing in front of me and nodded. We walked to the cafeteria and walked outside to sit at a bench. I soon saw the girls form my class and I smirked. The guys read my mind, but before they could say anything to protest, I got up and ran over to the girls.
"Hi. I'm Mikan."
"It's nice to meet you, Mikan. My name is Anna, and this is Hotaru and Sumire."
"It's nice to meet you, too. Do you want to eat with me and my friends?"
"We'd love to." I smiled and we walked over to the guys. Tsubasa and Natsume had arrived.
"Guys, this is Anna, Hotaru and Sumire." I smiled, with a hint of teasing, at Ruka. To everyone's surprise, he got up and dragged me away. They can still see us, but we're too far away for anyone to hear us.
"What's wrong, Ruka?"
"Why did you invite them?"
"Because I know you like Hotaru and I want to meet some girls here."
"I can understand that you want friends but it's just awkward for me." He looked down and blushed.
"Why will it be awkward? It's your chance to talk to her and to get to know her better."
"What's your plan?" Suddenly, Natsume stood beside us, and he was glaring at me again. I gulped a bit. Somehow, his glare was scarier.
"What"? I asked.
"What's your plan, bringing annoying girls to our table?"
"Why do you care?"
"Because I find girls annoying."
"Come on, Natsume, not every single girl is annoying." Ruka interrupted.
"You say that because you got a crush. I don't even understand how you like someone like her. She's cold and she never shows any emotions. She-"
"And you do?" I snapped at him. He returned his glare at me.
"Do you have a problem with me?" He asked.
"Clearly, you got one with me."
"Should I like you? You suddenly pop out of nowhere and move into my home. You're annoying and you're loud. You have no reason, but you feel free to shout and yell at me as if I wronged you in some way."
"Well, for your information; I didn't "pop" out of nowhere, I was told to live with you and I wouldn't have if I knew you were boys. I'm sorry for being annoying and loud but you're nothing but an arrogant jerk who thinks he's better than anyone else. I'm not yelling or shouting at you, I'm just telling you what I think. I got the freedom to do that."
"Why are you here in the first place? Your parents were so sick of you they sent you away?"
That stung. I could feel tears forming in my eyes and they were soon on their way down my cheeks. I was mad and I was upset. How dare he talk to me like that? I didn't manage to say anything, but I think the slap I gave him was hard enough to make him feel it.
"You don't know anything!" I yelled before running away from them. I ran passed the others. I heard Ruka calling after me, but I didn't bother to stop. I kept running. I stopped when I was far away from the others. I didn't want to stop, but I was out of breath. I sat down next to a tree and leaned on it, hugging my knees. I cried and cried, thinking back at what he said.
Your parents were so sick of you they sent you away?
They didn't send me away. They left me. They didn't want me so they left me. That's it.
Nothing more, nothing less.
Remember to review! :D
