Mikan Sakura was the most amazing girl he had ever met. Her brown eyes and cherry red lips made his hormones go insane. The words pure and innocence were written in her eyes. She was his best friend's girlfriend.

It was a pain to see them together. Every day someone asks him how it feels to be their best friend. How the fuck could it feel to see your attention object getting ravished by your best friend every day? Okay, he didn't rape her every day. He doesn't know if they have already had "it". He doesn't have the guts to ask it. You can call him as the Coward Nogi. Yes, please call him Coward because he's nothing more than that.

oOo

"OMG, isn't it Mikan Sakura?"

"Where is she going?"

"Her skirt looks so good on her slim body. I'm jealous,"

Mikan Sakura closed her eyes and listened to the whispers made by her admirers. She liked them. They always greeted her every morning; in every lunch break and even outside school. Her Facebook friend list was full of them. She even had a fan group—the thought of it made her giggle.

"She looks so lovely in pink,"

Hotaru had insisted that Mikan should wear something pink today. After all, it was Friday—the day when Natsume Hyuuga would come back to school after his trip to France.

Mikan slightly wondered if he bought her anything, like earrings or a ring. She smiled and looked down at her hand. She already had three rings from him and they had been dating only for a half year.

She smiled and looked up to look into a pair of ocean blue eyes. They belonged to Ruka Nogi, Natsume's best friend. She smiled and waved at him as smiled back and looked at the ground.

'The lonely boy looked weird today,' thought Mikan as she approached him.

"Hey, Ruka," she smiled and looked down at the ground where he was staring, "What have you found there?"

"What?" the lonely boy looked up and stared at her. He was dumbfounded and Mikan smiled at his failure to understand her.

He never did understand her.

"Is it something interesting?" She smiled, loving the way he tried to understand her.

"Mikan, what you're talking about?"

The bell rang and she pouted. The question got unanswered. She winked at him as walked past him to the Art classroom. She loved to draw and she hated to be late for any subject, except math.

oOo

Her slim legs made him stare at the ground. Ruka Nogi was just too nervous to answer her. Her fragrance lingered on his skin and he took in a huge whiff of air mixed with her smell even when she was gone. He wanted to have her as his girlfriend. He wanted it so much that it even hurt.

But he knew that she was unavailable. She belonged to Natsume Hyuuga. He could read it in her eyes. It hurt him.

oOo

"Don't you just love art? It makes you feel closer to Pablo Ruiz Picasso," Sumire Shouda murmured, painting her best work ever. That's what she always called her works before they were finished. After finishing them, she would look at them, sigh and tear them apart.

Mikan giggled at Sumire when Hotaru Imai only snickered. It was always like this. Mikan was the sunny girl when Hotaru was the mysterious one. It was hard to believe that they were best friends.

"When will the bell ring? I want to see Natsume right now," Sumire pouted and looked at her best friend, Mikan Sakura.

"He said that we will meet in the lunch break," She smiled back at Sumire and continued to draw her art work.

"I texted him and he didn't answer me. Sorry, Mikan, but he's a scum bag."

"Sorry, Sumire, but he's taken," This time Hotaru answered, making Mikan giggle again.

"Stop giggling. It sounds so sweet that it will make my ears bleed," Sumire murmured again, not turning to look at her best friends. She was angry. And her little crush on Natsume didn't make things easier.

"I will tell him to apologize to you," Mikan promised and stopped giggling.

"Fine," Sumire tried to hide her satisfaction. It always worked on Mikan. Always. She already pictured the sweet few seconds, when Natsume Hyuuga will come closer and whisper his apologies. His husky voice will make her heart jump and this time, she will grab him by his hand and bring him closer to her. Then she will inhale his paralyzing sexy scent and only then she will let him go.

She smiled and drew the finishing line in her art work. This time, she will not tear it apart.

oOo

Alice Academy's parking lot was quiet. Natsume Hyuuga smirked as he spotted his best mates waiting for him. He stepped out his car, locked it and walked toward them. They were hiding in the spot where the cameras couldn't see them.

"Dude, you're here!" Koko Yome shouted, grabbing Natsume's hand to shake it.

Natsume looked around his friends and noticed that Ruka was looking somewhere else. He walked closer to him and put his hand on the top of his best mate's head.

"Yo, Ruka," Natsume smiled a little when Ruka turned his head in his way. Ruka nodded and looked at the ground.

"Dude is in bad mood, we have a theory that some chick turned down his dating offer," Koko murmured as he lit his cigarette. "Want some?"

"No," Natsume turned down his offer.

"No, the agony, you hurt me," Koko laughed out loud and yelled, "Party today at my house."

"Dude, I will not be there," Natsume said, looking away from Koko.

"Why not, did the little sexy sugar chick get you under her spell of being clean for two weeks?"

"No, I just want to take a break from it."

"Dude, I don't get you," Koko rolled his eyes and turned toward Ruka. "Want to have a cigarette?"

"Fuck it, give me one," Ruka murmured and reached out for one of Koko's cigarette.

"Good job, mate," Koko laughed and took another drag from his cigarette.

Almost after ten minutes the bell rang and Natsume left his friends. Of course, he needed to listen first in Koko's obscure driveling and only then could he leave.

When he walked down the hallway to the dining room, he heard a lot of whispers which were coming from the opposite gender.

"Is it just me or he has gotten hotter?"

"It's not possible, Mendy, he's too hot already."

"I wonder where Mikan Sakura is."

The name of his lovely girlfriend made his inside go in strange feeling. No, he didn't dare to say that he had butterflies inside his stomach. That phrase was for girls. He wanted to see Mikan Sakura. Fuck, he couldn't even describe how much he had missed her.

Before walking in the dinning room, someone stopped him. It was Sumire Shouda. He wanted to slap himself, seeing the green haired girl in front of him.

"Hello, sexy," Sumire smiled at him and put her finger on her lips. "Did you miss me?"

"Sumire, back off," Natsume closed his eyes in annoyance.

"Did you forget about our little phone talk?" She smiled at him and licked her lips.

Natsume quietly growled. How he could forget it? He was in need for satisfaction and his sweet girlfriend was outside with Hotaru, leaving her phone at Sumire's house. Sumire Shouda had volunteered to help him. It was kind of disgusting to admit that he had phone sex with Sumire instead of Mikan.

"No, but I hope that you will keep it as a secret."

"I will if you will come to my house today," Sumire smirked at him. Finally, she had got him after all those years of waiting.

"What will you do if I won't come?"

"You can say goodbye to Mikan tomorrow."

He closed his eyes to think. Then again, what could she do to him in her house? He agreed and Sumire winked at him and stepped away from his way.

When he walked into the dining room, silence filled the room. It was like someone muted the sound. He searched for his girlfriend and when he found her, he saw how she stood up and ran toward him with her sunny smile. Her brown curls bounced after every step she took. One look lower her body will make Natsume go insane. He feared to risk.

She stopped in front of him and looked into his eyes for millisecond. Her brown eyes were sparkling and she let out small giggles. He smiled and closed the distance with one step toward her. She put her arms around his neck and he leaned down to kiss her. She tasted like vanilla and strawberries.

Then someone unmuted the whole place and everyone turned away from them.

Mikan smiled against Natsume's lips and opened her eyes to stare into his crimson eyes. He was looking at her with admiration that made Mikan's legs tremble. No one had looked at her like that. Natsume Hyuuga was Mikan's first boyfriend and she liked the feeling to have kept herself only for Natsume. We can't say the same about the trouble maker, Natsume Hyuuga.

oOo

Ruka Nogi looked as his interest object wrapped her hands around Natsume's neck and kissed him fiercely. He saw how much passion they showed with only one kiss.

"I'm afraid for her," said Hotaru, Ruka's second female friend, "I have a feeling that Natsume will break her heart."

"I think that she already knows the fact that he's demanded," Anna Umenomiya said, looking at the making out couple, "They are perfect together."

"I don't trust Natsume."

Ruka stared at the table. He didn't like to hear how harsh Hotaru talked about his best friend.

"Please, stop it, Hotaru."

Ruka looked up and saw how Sumire sat beside Hotaru. She was the one who had spoken up. Ruka smiled at her and she returned the smile.

"Still, I feel that something bad will happen very soon."

oOo

Mikan Sakura stepped back from Natsume and grinned at him. He had a mischievous glint in his eyes.

"Oh, Natsume Hyuuga, what's on your mind?" she asked and raised her left eyebrow. It turned out to be sexy and it slightly turned on Natsume.

"Let's skip the school today," Natsume offered, leaning down to kiss Mikan's cheek.

"Okay, I'm the deal." Mikan giggled when Natsume nuzzled her neck. She was in love and she liked the feeling of being loved.

He took her hand and they both ran away from the dining room.

oOo

"And off they go," muttered Hotaru as she shook her head, "She will have to pay me for picking up her stuff."

Ruka only smiled and Sumire stared at the door. She bit her lip and hoped that Natsume will come to visit her after school. He had to or else Mikan would know about their little dirty secret. But what made Sumire angrier was the idea of crashing her best friend's dreams, she couldn't tell Mikan about herself and Natsume. And she was afraid that Natsume knew it.

"Look, there's Koko."

She looked up and saw that wasted guy. He was a mystery. Sumire wasn't afraid to admit that she had a crush on him in ninth grade but that is in history. Now, he's a druggie and she's the girl who's aiming for the Queen B's title. He was the reminder of Sumire's cloudy days when she used to cut herself.

"Hey, Sumire," Koko grinned at her and she smiled back. They were acquaintances. They only greeted each other every day. That was all.

"Look, Hotaru, I will go outside. I'm feeling ill," Sumire said and stood up. She had to go out. Before leaving the table, she casted a quick glance at Koko. He was watching her with a lazy smirk on his lips.

She smiled at him and walked away.
