For the first three or two chapters, the POV is gonna be Mikan! I'm really excited to start working on this and don't want this to be just a 5 chapter long book, I want there to be a story and whatnot.
Also, this is a non-despair AU, think of it as like a, cheesy reality tv show type au :)
Anyways, I hope you enjoy the book!
Mikan (third person POV)
Mikan suddenly jumped awake from the lounge couch after hearing a loud voice call out, "Mikan, get over here! I've been calling you for like, forever already!" She sighed, she knew that voice all to well. Junko Enoshima, her boss, her superior, and some may say her worst nightmare.
"C-coming!" Mikan called back, standing up from the couch and quickly making her way over to Junko's room. She opened the door and saw Junko sitting in her chair in front of her vanity. Junko looked over at Mikan and scoffed, "Finally you showed up, I need you to do my eyeliner for me."
Mikan nodded, entering her room and closing the door behind her. Mikan walked over to her and grabbed the eyeliner, "I-I'm gonna need you t-to sta-stay still for th-this." She stuttered out. Junko rolled her eyes but did as she was told.
After Mikan finished doing her eyeliner, a knock could be heard, she looked up to see who it was and saw Junko's sister, Mukuro. "Junko, you're on in five." Junko stood up and pulled her hair into her signature ponytails. Mikan backed out of the way as Junko sprayed a strong smelling perfume over her body.
Junko was a famous model who had been on thousands of newspapers and many talk shows, this happened to be one of those shows. Mikan was sort of her assistant, she worked part time as a nurse at the hospital however.
Junko left the room and Mikan followed after, "We're on in two!" Called out a camera guy, Junko made her way over to the stage. Waiting for her queue to walk onto the stage and into camera view. Mikan stayed back a bit, as to not be seen by the crowd behind the curtain. She yawned as she started to relax a little.
She jumped a little as she felt a tap on her shoulder, "A-AaHh!" She turned to see whoever tapped her and sighed in relief as she realized who it was.
"M-Mahiru! Y-y-you sc-scared m-me." Mikan stuttered out nervously, Mahiru gave her an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry, I just noticed how tired you like..maybe you should go rest."
Mikan smiled at the offer but shook her head, "I-I w-would love t-to but J-Junko will yell at m-me if I s-slept on th-the job again." Mahiru's face grew concerned.
"It's not fair how she treats you, ya know. You should stick up to her, no one should have to be treated like that." Mahiru suggested, Mikan shrugged a little looking at the ground.
"I-it's f-fine really..I-I'm us-used to it. B-besides, she ca-cares for me, deep do-down she has to." She looked back up at Mahiru with a nervous smile, Mahiru didn't seem convinced but didn't press on.
"A-anyways..wh-what are you doing here M-Mahiru?" Mikan asked the photographer, Mahiru answered, "I'm here to take photos of the interview, for the newspaper and for articles online. The usual."
"I have a scheduled photoshoot to do for Enoshima later on today, Hiyoko and Maizono should be there as well." Mahiru added, Mikan nodded, "I-I'm off a-after the photoshoot f-for Junko. I-I could st-stay behind so m-me, you, a-and Hiyoko co-could hang out a-after."
Mahiru smiled warmly, "Just like old times! Hiyoko has been wanting to catch up for a while now." "H-how's Hi-Hiyoko d-doing?" Mikan asked, Mahiru shrugged.
"It's been a while since I've seen her, I saw her in the newspaper a while ago and it looks like she grew a bit." Mahiru recalled, "She's been talked about though, people really like her shows!"
Mikan smiled, "I-I'm gl-glad! I-it must b-be fun!" Mahiru nodded, "It must be pretty tiring as well, a good break will definitely make her feel better!"
Mikan opened her mouth to ask Mahiru a question but was interrupted by Mukuro, "Ahem, sorry to interrupt but Mahiru is needed." Mahiru looked at Mukuro then at Mikan, "Sorry Mikan, I'll see you later on today!"
Mikan waved bye at her friend, "B-bye Mahiru!" She turned around to look at Junko, who was sitting in a chair across from the interviewer. Mikan couldn't help but feel a little excited for later today.
{Time skip cause I can only write so much}
Junko had just finished her photoshoot and had already left the studio, Mikan was sitting down at a table waiting for Mahiru to finish up with the photoshoot.
Mikan looked around and saw a newspaper on the table, she grabbed it and looked at the cover. The title read, "A new rock legend in the making!" 'Hmm, their style is definitely unique.'
Mikan flipped through the newspaper to get to where the person on the cover was talked about, Mikan read, "I-Ibuki Mi-Mioda..?" She noticed the girl's hairstyle and clothing immediately.
Mikan continued to read about the girl, learning that she was a renowned musician known for her unique music and colorful personality. She's done concerts all over the world and has gained many fans in under just a few weeks. "W-wow."
Mikan was so mesmerized she didn't even hear Hiyoko calling her name, "Mikan!" Mikan jumped and looked up at the blonde haired girl. "A-aah! S-sorry!" Mikan immediately noticed the height difference between now and when she last saw her.
Hiyoko crossed her arms, "Have you gone deaf, I was calling your name for a while." Mikan nervously closed the newspaper and stood up, "I-I'm s-sorry! I g-guess I just got l-lost in l thought.."
Hiyoko shrugged, "Mahiru has one more photoshoot to do then we can go." Mikan nodded, Hiyoko looked at the newspaper in Mikan's hand and pointed at it. "Who's that?"
"H-huh?" Mikan looked down at the newspaper that was in her hand, "O-oh! Th-this?" She handed it to Hiyoko. Hiyoko looked through it and started to read, "Huh, she seems familiar?"
Mikan tilted her head, "W-what do y-you mean?" Hiyoko shrugged, "Nothing, just thought I've seen her before. Whatever, it's not important anyways." She tossed the newspaper back onto the table.
"Anyways, I heard you got a job under that Junko girl, I guess that really does make you a bottom." Hiyoko laughed, Mikan blushed nervously and shook her head, "I-it's n-not li-like that!"
Hiyoko put her hands on her hip, "So how'd you even get a job under someone as big as her, I'm sure she doesn't own a farm." Mikan whimpered, "I-I don't even kno-know. I saw that a studio ne-needed a nurse for a mo-movie set and I a-applied."
A confused look grew on Hiyoko's face, "Eh? You were in a movie?" Mikan shook her head, "N-no, so-some of the st-stunts were dangerous and n-needed to be lo-looked at."
"Of course they wouldn't let you star in a movie! They'd have to put Porky the Pig in the end credits!" Hiyoko lightly punched Mikans shoulder. Mikan whined then looked behind Hiyoko, "Lo-look, Mahiru's c-coming over."
Mahiru waved over at the two, "Sorry it took a while girls, I needed to get a new camera for the last shoot." Hiyoko smiled, "Mahiru!" She ran over and hugged her, Mikan walked over and smiled slightly at Mahiru.
"Are you girls ready?" Mahiru asked, Mikan nodded and Hiyoko let go of Mahiru, "Yea let's go! We should go get ice cream!" Hiyoko suggested, Mahiru giggled and looked at Mikan.
"What do you think, up for ice cream?" Mikan nodded, "Y-yea!"
The three girls made their way out of the studio and over towards Mahirus car, Mahiru and Hiyoko sat up front and Mikan sat in the back. Mikan couldn't help but feel as if something was missing, she couldn't put a finger on it.
She brushed it off and looked out the window, Mahiru and Hiyoko were talking up front about all the stuff that has happened since their time at school.
Mikan overheard that Hiyoko had gone to a concert in which she got a VIP pass backstage to, she met the performer and had made friends with them. She said the performer happily gave Hiyoko more tickets to see her concert.
Mahiru spoke which snapped Mikan out of her thoughts, "Hey Mikan, you're free this weekend right? Maybe we should go, it would be fun!" Mikan smiled, "S-sure, I've n-never g-gone to a-a concert be-before."
Hiyoko looked back at Mikan, "Wear something nice too, it'd be embarrassing to get seen with a gross pig." Mahiru lightly slapped Hiyoko's shoulder, "Oh be nice, it's a concert. People aren't going to pay much attention to what we're wearing."
And with that, Mikan had plans with Hiyoko and Mahiru to go to a concert this weekend. She just had to get through one more day, luckily all she had to do was work at the hospital tomorrow. At least Junko wouldn't be a problem.
