The room smelled as popcorn and cheese. I was sitting in the seventh row of chairs and looking at the white screen in front of me. People were coming inside the room as the commercials started. Anna murmured something under her breath as the first seconds of The Runaways started.

"Why the girls are looking so stunning?" Anna moaned and pushed her face in her palms. I laughed out loud and the unknown girl, who sat beside me, turned her head to stare at me. I smiled at her and turned to Anna's side to take the popcorn from her.

"Hey, I paid for my little, precious, sweet popcorn." Anna protested and took the popcorn away from me. She showed me her tongue and smirked at me as I scowled.

We watched The Runaways, the movie was kind of epic. It made me want to start my sweet sixteen all over again. The sweet sixteen and never been kissed. That's who I was. Boys kissed me only in my dreams.

"You're such a loser." Anna laughed as I ate my ice cream. The strawberry ice cream just had to drop on my new pink T-shirt. It was such a Murphy rule.

"Shut up," I murmured under my breath and took a napkin from the napkin's holder on the table. Right now, we were sitting in McDonald's at the lovely Sunday's evening. Anna had called me in Friday and told me that she wanted to meet me ASAP.

As always, I was doing nothing on Sunday. And meeting Anna was only my forte; after all, we haven't seen each other more for one week.

I was in depression. Everything that I saw was only the Andrean High School building and my grandparent's house.

There were only two months to wait till my seventeenth birthday. There were only two months to wait for parents to return from their holidays. I repeated it in my head every day when I went to my school or when I saw Hotaru, Ruka, Koko or Natsume.

Two months and my parents will enroll me from Andrean High School. I really hoped that they will do it.

Anna's invitation for the shopping at our city's multiplex was the sunlight to my dark mood.

"How are your parents? They call you every day from Germany?" Anna asked me as we walked away from the Mcdonald's.

"They are good, relaxing and enjoying the autumn in Germany." I smiled as Anna showed me thumbs up and I continued, "They call me almost two times in every day, at the morning and at the evening."

"They are planning to come back soon?"

"They're planning to come back after two months."

"That's cool. Are you planning to go back to Drebal High School? We miss you a lot, Mikan." Anna looked at me with her sad, puppy eyes. I groaned and closed my eyes. I couldn't resist her cuteness.

"Please, don't use those puppy eyes on me. It doesn't work."

"Liar," she laughed out loud and I smiled at her. Anna was my best friend because only she knew what to say in the right time. I told Anna everything about Andrean High School and the gang.

"Wow," she stared at the street's pavement, "Rich kids sure are evil."

"Don't tell me." I closed my eyes and sighed out loud. "This sucks."

"What are you going to do?" Anna asked, looking up from the ground.

"Nothing. I will live those two months, being invisible, like a shadow." I nodded, as to prove that I will do it.

"Don't be so sure about it, Mikan Sakura."

The next week came fast. I was sitting in the homeroom's class, when a white envelope got on my desk. It was a lunch break and I was taking a nap. I opened my eyes to see the white envelope on my desk. I took it and read from who it was.

For Mikan Sakura,

From Sumire Shoda,

My hands started to tremble as I ripped open the envelope.

Hello, Mikan, how are you feeling? I know, weird question. Anyways, do you remember last Friday? I got some information from you, I hope you don't mind. What are you doing this weekend? Give me an answer ASAP. Find me in Hotaru's class, I heard that you know each other. Chau.

I stared at the letter and put it back in the envelope. What did she want from me? I thought and closed my eyes. I drifted in slumber until someone shook me.

"Wake up," said a soft voice. It trembled and was high pitched.

I opened my eyes and almost jumped out from my seat. Her blond hair was messy and her blue eyes were watching me.

"Hey, Nanoko." I whispered and smiled, trying to hide the fact that her closeness scared me.

"The class will start soon. Shouldn't you wake up? I heard that Narumi doesn't like when the students sleep in their class." She explained and sat down in front of me.

Nanoko was a nice girl. I liked that she was silent and always listened to everything that happened around her. Perhaps, it was the reason why Koko fell for her.

The thoughts of Koko made me feel bad in the stomach so I avoided the next thoughts that came up about him.

"Listen, Nanoko," I spoke up, aching to ask her a question that was buzzing in my head. "Do you know Sumire?"

"Yes, she's one of the Queen B's. She was the one who sang in the opening ceremony, if you remember." Nanoko told me, looking straight in my eyes with her ocean blue ones. They were hypnotizing.

"Thanks." I told her and smiled. She nodded and turned around to stare at the chalkboard. Our conversation ended.

I drifted away from the classroom in my thoughts, again.

I had to find Sumire on my own. And find her when she wasn't around Hotaru or the boys. I wanted a peaceful two months without any drama and tears.

oOo

"Sumire Shoda?" I spoke up as I walked closer to Sumire. I had found her in the school's library. She was using the computer that was placed there for students.

"Yes?" She spoke up before looking away from the screen. When she tore her eyes away from it, she looked at me and stared for a while. Then, a smile spread in her face and she jumped up from her seat. "I guess that you get my letter."

"Yes, I did. I was wondering what you wanted from me."

"This Saturday I'm making a huge house party and I wondered if you would like to come. I invite almost all the high school. I hope you can join us." Sumire's smile was genuine and she looked stunning, as ever.

I knew I should stay away from her and the things she could bring me into. But there was something I couldn't resist about her. The something made you want to be closer to her. I accepted her invite and she hugged me.

I smiled against Sumire's brown hair and closed my eyes to inhale the scent of the library. Who would have known few months ago that I will be hugging the school's most popular girl who was a perfect singer and a dancer. Who would have known that I would switch schools and meet so many people.

I could feel that it was the beginning of my new journey. I couldn't predict what the future held for me but I hopped that it wouldn't turn out to be bad. Maybe I could start to trust people again. Maybe I would make friends with Hotaru, Ruka, Koko and Natsume, again. I didn't know but I sure hoped for it.
