Chapter 1: People change!!!

It is 7:00 am, and of course, so unusual for her to wake up that early. She starts to dress up and prepare her things. As soon as she locked the door, she runs until she goes to her classroom.

Oh! Good heavens I am not late!, Mikan thought.

Everybody was staring at her, especially her bestfriend, Hotaru. Something's wrong with the baka., she thought.

"Oi! Baka, Ohio!" Hotaru greeted, expressionless…

"Ohio! Hotaru!" and Mikan sat in her seat. Everyone noticed her, really, somethings wrong with her.

"Sakura – san, good morning!" Iinchou greets her with an all-out-smile.

"Good morning too!, Iinchou!" She greeted back, and stared at the window.

Something's wrong with the baka. Oh, anyways she is not annoying by now! I hope that this will continue everyday! Natsume thought while his manga covering his face.

"Oi! Mikan-san! Ohio!" Ruka greets her at last, with a smile of course, though he knows he will gonna blush later on if he saw Mikan smile back at her. But Mikan just look at him and nod, then sigh.

The bell rang, and classes started. Narumi – sensei entered the classroom and the children greeted back. He saw something unusual, and of course, it is Mikan. Why does she look expression less? Where is my cheerful student? He thought for a moment.

"Ohio! Class, there will be no classes today because all teacher's will have a meeting. You are now free to do whatever you like. So class behave!" He smiles back at them, but Mikan still looks out in the window. He don't know why she's like that, she usually cheers when there will be no classes, but today is really different. He can't feel a thing from her. I hope nothing's wrong with her.

"Ms. Sakura! Class! I'm going now!" Saying her name intentionally just to catch her attention. He smile at her to see if she will smile back, but she just nod. What's wrong with her?! Narumi thought as he exits the classroom.

Mikan slowly stand up and walk to the door. It is so unusual for her not to say goodbye to her friends, especially Hotaru! And then, someone hits her back, well of course, it's her bestfriend's baka gun.

"Oi! Baka!, where will you go?" Hotaru asked

"Why care? I'm just going to my room!" Mikan says as she leaves the room. It is not snobbish or something, but no expression at all.

"Oh! Yeah! Okay! Bye!" Hotaru worrily says as she looks at her bestfriend. Why does her eyes are like mine and Natsume's? Cold! What's wrong with the baka! She irritably thought.

She walk through the corridor, and to the school grounds. As she was heading to her room, someone bumped her intentionally, and yes, it is from the flame caster, Natsume Hyuuga. As usual, her short uniform skirt waves and her undies are on sight. She didn't fall or trips, she just maintained her balance.

"Baka! So, it is strawberry stripes today, Polka!" Natsume says and smirked.

She just walks past to him, and everything is blank. She seems to be thinking deeply of something, and Natsume hated the fact that he was ignored, so he tripped her again.

"Stop it!" Mikan shouted, no expression with her face nor in her eyes.

"Okay! Baka!" and Natsume run through the corridors and stop by the corner trying to spy on her partner. He saw Mikan entered her room and lock the door. He go to her door and stick his ears into it. He can't even hear of something, not even a snoring one. So she's not sleep. But what's the problem with her. Natsume thought. And then..

"What are you doing, Hyuuga?!" Hotaru asked as she saw him almost lost his balance.

"Nothing much, Imai" Natsume said, with a face almost red

"No wonder Sakura-san is calling you a pervert, because you even follow her to her room." Ruka said as he stared Natsume blankly into the eye.

"What did you say, Ruka? I just go here because… umm… well, she's my partner, right? So I must check her if she's alright or else, everybody will blame me if she's not good.." explained Natsume.

Suddenly, Mikan open her door and saw her friends in front of her. She is still dressed up in her school uniform.

"Oh, Hotaru-san, Ruka-pyon, and you Hyuuga, ha… may I know, what can I do for you?" she said blankly.

"Nothing important." Hotaru replied

"Oh, Sakura-san, I think Natsume tries to peek into your room." Said Ruka as he looks on Natsume.

Mikan look at Natsume who is also getting red because of Ruka.

"Oh, so it is you again, Hyuuga. Anyway, once a pervert, will always be a pervert." Said Mikan and closed her door. Hotaru look at her and yes, she's right something's wrong with her bestfriend.

"Oi! Nogi, Hyuuga! Come on! Let's go, looks like the baka is busy… let's not disturb her for a while." Ordered Hotaru.

"Hai!" Said the two boys.

While walking, the three of them are all quiet, everything got one question in mind – What happened to Mikan?!
