Chapter: The Pineapple.

"MIKAAAN!"

OMG! I mentally groan as my mom practically breaks my door WIDE open. Ok I get it it's the day I'll be going to school but so what? It's not like I'm gonna find my true love runaway and get married...right? oh Mikan what are you thinking? Of course that is not gonna happen. Stick to Reality. Anyway my mom starts to hug me with tears in her eyes, and then she started rambling about how much of a big girl I am. Tch. Typical mothers. Though I suddenly felt her tremble, even if the blankets that kept a barrier between me and my mom she seemed to be distant for a moment. It's funny how even when the person is right next to you, you're still far apart. I slowly peer to see what my mom's facial expression was, but unfortunately for me she quickly composed herself. Sneaky little woman isn't she? I got… no I yank myself away from the bed; I hope it doesn't damage our relationship. I will miss you thy bed. I look at my mom and her glowing face. How can my mom be so damn pretty and yet always smile in half. She thinks I don't see it but I do, and it hurts a lot. I don't ever question her because she puts an effort into putting that smile up front so I got to respect that.
"Mom, it's 5 am, school is at 8. You waking up from my maybe-fanatical-but-sensational-dream better be a good reason because trust me if not I will…" I was cut off by her rolling eyes and her annoying hand that was imitating me as I talked. And here I thought I was the teenager that was annoyed with her mom. "Sweetheart, you slept at 9o'clock last night and if u sleep any longer that that you'll end up having excessive oil coming out of your skin. Now come down and eat so that we may get ready for your first day!" She caresses my cheek with her index finger , kisses my forehead and walked out of my room.

I stretched out my arms and let a yawn slip out of my lips. I jump off my bed and neatly arrange my blanket. It had a butterfly print on it, hey! I like butterflies ok. I make my way to the bathroom and start to strip of my PJ's, I turn the shower on and slip right in. then it hit me… "SO DAMN COLD DANGNAMMIT!" I screech with regret on forgetting to turn on the heater. Ok think positive! My hair becomes a miracle under cold water, so I will embrace this icy cold water. I was done in about 15 minutes. I brushed my teeth and did the rest of my feminine things in the bathroom and had a towel around my body. I walked out and I guess my mom placed out the uniform out on my bed for me. I took a moment to stare at it. The skirt was black about 2 inches above my knee, the blouse was crisp and frail yet the blazer was black too with GA in a lively gold colour. I also noticed my name on a badge with the same font. The uniform was decent enough. So I put then on and surprisingly it looks just fine on me. However, my legs felt naked so I covered them up with a midnight gray pair of socks that went up to alittle above my knee. There I'm ready! And since I don't any books yet I can just take any bag I want. I grab my Juicy Couture bag and strode my way downstairs to my mom in the kitchen. By now it was probably 6:05 or something. I take a chuck of my mom's pancakes, and dip it into the Hersey's chocolate at the side. The taste was divine really, I could live off these.

"Mikan I think it would be better if you go there early. I won't be able to drop you there today, I have to submit my report at work which I didn't make a conclusion too"
"Yeah ok mom, I'm leaving now then? Bye! I love you. Mwah." I kissed her on the cheek and ran out.

I walked out approaching the road outside my house. I took in a deep breathe in. I was sucking up the past for one last time and as I let my breath out, so did all the bullshit get out. I looked up to the sky and wondered why that had to happen to me. I shrugged the thought off and walked on to the right side and played "You don't miss your water- Craig David" on my iPod. After all the honking and crazy drivers yelling at me for crossing, I mean the light was clearly green for me to cross not for him to effin run me over with. Let it go Mikan.

I reached the school, I wonder why my mom said that I would ever miss it since it's enormous. The gates were closed though and I did have a thought that maybe it was not the school but the tiny engraved GA's engraved on the gate proved my suspicion wrong. I looked at my Black hello kitty watch and it read 7:15. Perfect I was early. Oh well. Might as well wait I tell myself optimistically. I slack down at the school entrance by the side walk. Just when I was about to play another song I heard a car approach, hey am not alone! The car park opposite the school in the school's parking lot. Wow this school must be holding quite a lot of snob brats if it requires a parking lot.

A guy walks out of the car with black hair; he had his uniform on… I think. I mean it was crumbled, shirt not tucked in and a loose tie dangling on his neck. He saw me, and did he just look at me as I was a crazy stalker? Ugh. He did not just give me the you-are-so-pathetic-look. If I could and it wasn't illegal I would have plucked his pretty little red eyes out. Wait what? Red eyes..red fucking eyes! Is this the guy that Sumire would not stop blabbering about? Umm… Naleme Hynuma? Damn I forgot. Anyway this N-guy walks up to me, or I think he is. I decided to smile and welcome him, I can't always believe whatever Sumire told me; now if only I could remember what she said about him. He stops right in front of me and looks me up and down. The next thing I know was bloodshot glowy eyes staring into mine. It was like he was about to consume my soul, I felt my body stiff under this guy's gaze. I couldn't bring myself to look away, what more to talk to him.

"You seem new here babe, need me to help you around?" he smirks and winks at me. He takes a step towards me and I take a step back. He looks shock at my reaction but then his smirk grew twice its size. Did I look that easy? I mean the hell was up with this guy? Just cause he has a few good features? Psh. I collect all the emotions swirling in me like a whorl pool and smile. I stood up from the side walk, I didn't expect him to be this tall maybe, 6 flat.

" Excuse me but I don't think that's how you should treat a freshman. I would have liked you help." I looked at him from top to bottom " but I don't want to end up being at the bottom of the food chain but having some lowlife like you as my very first friend like you". I know what I said affected him for at least 10 seconds because he didn't say anything for that long. The gates suddenly opened and I could see more cars and students walking from both directions of the road. I think my talk here is done with Mr N-guy here. I wanted to walk away but Gosh.. not now. I can't believe it had to happen now. Kami-sama! Why?! I look at N-guy " Say…pineapple…now…" I say trying to hold the urge to sneeze. He looked at me with a puzzled look but I think he got the idea that I was gonna sneeze.

"Banana" he said in a monotonous voice.

"ACHUUUUU-IEEE" I practically broadcasted to the people around us that I just sneezed.

I didn't know what took over my but my body took control by itself, and I ended up punching N-guy real hard in the arm. He stumbled a bit but maybe it was because he didn't expect that. Everyone knows you should say "Pineapple" when a person is gonna sneeze, it confuses the brain. That's what he gets for not doing so. Then I realized everyone was looking at me or him I don't know.

" He's the most popular guy at that school so don't pick a fight with him ok?"

Sumire's words were ringing in my head now. Holy shit what did I just do. I didn't think and just thought of one thing… Run Bitch!
