HAJIMEMASHITE

SUMMARY

Mikan Sakura, a girl who's avoided by everyone due to her deathly glares finds herself comfortable with her laptop, pen and paper. She preferred indulging herself in taking care of her single sunflower rather than of socializing and being worried sick of their nasty comments. But what they didn't know is that, with a penname of Hotaru Imai, she's the author of the number 1 online book throughout Japan. To be able to write a good love story (as what everybody likes), Mikan blackmailed the famous jock at her school and told him to do some certain missions for her. A loner in the morning, a novelist in the afternoon and a blogger and chat mate of two mysterious people in the evening... WTH would be the outcome?

CHAPTER ONE

The twist of my life

In school, if ever you would ask about my name to any student... Well... DON'T or heck you would never see the world again. Whenever you're in my territory, which is everywhere, people intend to neither approach nor make physical contact with me especially eye contact. They said that I have the most irresistible gorgeous eyes ever but some parts of it; there is a tint of deadly cold aura emitting from my inner core out of my pair of hazel eyes. I don't know what the heck was that all about but according to what I've heard from gossips, well, that's their reason they're afraid of me. Even teachers are! And for that reason, I was labelled as the Ice Princess at every school I entered.

Today is the first day of my first year high school. I decided to wake up early today. Hell I am a little bit nervous. I think same thing goes for me... NO FRIENDS! NO CONTACT! I mean, that's my everyday routine. I just finished the previous volume of my series yesterday and neither Black Cat nor White Rabbit is in for some chat last night. I'm completely dull and felt like I lost all my energy! WTF no one even encouraged me yet! Before first day of school, it was always been BOTH the two of my loyal chat mates. Guess I'll just have to bear.

Alice Academy, an ordinary elementary, high school and college institution in Tokyo Japan. Yapp! That's my school! Each of us was introduced in front (as usual during first day of classes) and obviously, no one paid attention during my introduction. I sighed. Actually, this is normal to me. But I think it's better if they don't mind me at all than during my elementary years where they really create made-up stories about me.

Let's fast forward shall we...

Well, a month after I entered this school, partnered up again with a perv, taking care of my only sunflower-slash-friend, doing reckless things like saving a cat and was almost hit by a truck, picking up a fight due to this stupid eyes and cutting classes, I was grounded every now and then. But hey, its way better than sticking my butt into that stupid chair and listening to the teachers blabbering in front. Like who the hell cares? I don't need education. I'm perfectly a genius! I'm a writer for God sake!

Anyway, I was walking silently in the hallways towards the field where my favourite sunflower is planted when girls or should I say fans started running from my back heading towards my direction to where two boys are walking in front of me. WTF! I'm caught in-between! So, I irresponsibly ran to my left and hit my head hard on the wall. I seriously forgot that it was solid concrete at my other side. Looks like I'm so drowned by my thoughts. (LOL). The next thing I knew, I woke up at the infirmary.

I asked the school nurse how I was brought here. She said a guy with blond hair carried me. And before I could ask who it was, the nurse was mysteriously gone. (Sigh). I know this would happen. My question now is who is the guy who transported me here?

Next subject is Algebra. I tried to ditch the subject when a weird blondie blocked my way. By the looks of it, his name's Ruka Nogi. He's one of my classmates since elementary and the second richest and cutest guy at school. He lives with his French mom and Japanese dad. He...etc...Etc... You might be stunned, surprised and wondering. Well, frankly, I know every person in class. What kind of writer would I be if I didn't know everything around me? I may lack social contact but I know how to use my eyes and ears. Anyway,

"Trying to ditch class again Sakura? Do you think I didn't notice?" he emotionlessly said but his voice with a hint of...concern? Hell, he noticed me? In fairness, he was the only person who had the guts to do the eye-to-eye with me thing.

"H-how-"

He gave out a smile "I'm always looking at you since when we were elementary," he avoided my eyes for a while before looking back at me "How's your head?" he uttered

"Don't tell me you're the one who brought me to the clinic?" I asked

"Who do you think?" What!? "Anyway, I have an appointment with the student body officers. Don't wanna be late. Gotta go! Ja! And please don't discard classes. You may be a terrible genius but you need to stay and socialize sometime" with that, he left.

That night, after I did the writing stories stuffs and checked the Best Author chart seeing that I'm still the top 1, I posted everything that happened to me in my profile...

-Sakura_blossom-

There's this cute guy who said that he notice me ever since we were kids (the hell!).

And he's a little bit annoying too! Telling me that I should socialize!

Heck! He doesn't have the right!

All these years, I've been trying but no one still notices me!

Still, I couldn't blame him because I think he's only concerned about me.

What do you think?

I don't know what to do! Insecurity reigns!

-White rabbit ('w')-

Whataya know! The guy might like you after all.

A guy who is that concern about you likes you!

You should talk to him every day!

Plus he's right. If you think you tried, well, try a little harder!

You should smile to everyone and greet them every day to impress them.

-Black cat (='o'=)-

A boy like that is plastic! You should avoid him

It is best if you stay alone to avoid arguments and misunderstandings

You might just hurt yourself in the end

[Yes] No

The next day, I followed black cat's advice instead of white rabbit. I ditched every class in the morning and stayed near my sunflower when another shadow was cast. I turned to have a clear view at the person and found out it was... Ruka! He lectured me on and off again about socializing and that I should not cut classes.

"Why the hell do you care?" I shouted, feeling irritated already

"Ever since you first rescued that stupid cat in the alley the day before class starts, I've been watching you. You only cared about others and not yourself! You cared about living things like this sunflower and the cat!" he hesitated before proceeding, "I cared because I love you" he softly said but enough for me to hear it clearly. I blushed hard. God I was flabbergasted!

We stayed in silence for a while before proceeding in our own separate ways speechless. Though, we're both in 2-B but every afternoon he always has this stupid meeting with the student council. He's the vice president you know! But what we didn't know is that a certain raven saw and heard everything already.

During dismissal, I was so preoccupied with my thoughts that I accidentally bump on someone. It was....... NATSUME HYUUGA! My worst nightmare! My foulest enemy! And my perverted partner shows up again! The hell! I'm about to erupt! (Sigh). Anyway, I'm calm... I should calm down. Luckily, no words were uttered which is completely weird and different. Mostly, he would enjoy himself mocking and teasing me up every time. He, besides Ruka, was the only person who could ever talk to me like that. The thing is Ruka was way gentler than he. They're actually best buds and Natsume was always the superior between the two –erase that! Amongst everyone! He silently walked away but jackpot he dropped a small notebook. But since I was too tired, I decided to read it at home.

That night, same thing goes. But I settled in to chatting first before checking on the readers' reviews.

-Sakura_blossom-

Hey guys! The cute guy totally confessed. You were right WR.

But I can't totally give in myself to him right?

I mean, for God's sake, I have a lot of things to worry about

Anyway, this rude guy (another guy) is just so rude!

He bumped me without even saying sorry. *sigh*. As expected of him.

But he seriously dropped his notebook.

I don't know if I should return it to him or not but it's his notebook, right?

-Black cat (='o'=)-

You're really an idiot, you know! For believing people like that easily.

You should avoid them. They're only there for games.

By the way, what about this notebook?

You should return it to him, you know. It's not yours plus you might be sued for committing stealing.

-White rabbit ('w')-

Why not? I think he's a cute and good guy.

You should make friends to him.

Maybe, he'll be your first step to socialization plus (maybe) he'll be the man of your dreams.

Think about it.

[Yes] No

After chatting with the both of them, I opened my author's profile and found out the results and reviews were all.... NEGATIVE. WTF!

REVIEWS

Pink-heronsGAA: How come both the characters only settled in friendships?

?unknown? : Luna Koizumi-san's works and books makes my heart beat faster! I love her stories! I do also hope you would top her since you're still the best for me...

Anonymous_fan_reader: I wish there were more heart-warming and a few heart-breaking moments too like the usual love story.

Someone: I get your point that Jean is a cold-hearted princess but I do hope that she'll also learn how to love someone... You know, I'm really expecting it to be a little bit romantic than friendships.

Addictedromance: To be able to write a romantic scene, use the moments when you and your boyfriend are together... It works better!

How the hell could I make a beautiful love story and follow Addictedromance suggestion when I don't even have a single boyfriend or tutor? Heck! Guess I need Ruka after all but isn't that swindling? Using him just for my own personal gains? I feel like a cheater. All these times, Ruka's been kind to me and repaying him by doing that is a total...nuh-uh! No!

Without thinking anything, I flip Natsume's notebook and found out it was full of...girls' names? Wait! This is not just girls' names but girls who confessed to him, where and how. Geez! I presumed I don't need Ruka anymore. I'm going to use this guy...ding dong! Blackmailing time! I smirked at the mere thought. I'm not going to regret this since that dude is a total ass to me anyway. Natsume Hyuuga, meet hell tomorrow! Whahaha!

I wonder what will happen the next day... What do you think would Mikan do to Natsume? *gasp*....... Ha-ha!

Anyway, please review.
