~Before the derparture~

A brunette woke up from the sound of an alarm clock that her best friend, Hotaru Imai, gave her the night before. The brunette's eyes flickered open, showing her deep brown orbs. She sat up from her bed as she scanned the area, pink walls and a white ceiling. Her room spun around her like a top, wondering why her head hurt, she checked the clock '3:30 am' it stated. She had just remembered why she needed to wake up early.

*The day before*

"Alright class, I have an announcement to make. Tomorrow will be our yearly field trip. Departure time is 7 am, and all the students must be here before then. So class dismissed!" their homeroom teacher, Narumi-sensei, who had long blond hair and purple eyes announced.

"Mikan!" the twins, Anna; a pink haired girl, and Nonoko; a blue haired girl ran towards the excited brunette who sat next to a black short haired with purple eyes; named Hotaru whose expression was somewhat unlike Mikan's, showed no interest at the topic.

"Hotaru! Why are you NOT excited?" Mikan pouted at the stoic face that her best friend was making. "Because, this fieldtrip would need us to pay money, which means wasting money, YOU know my love for those green papers!" Hotaru snapped at her friend. Mikan was now teary-eyed, she felt a hand pat her head, she looked up to find Crimson red eyes stare at her. "Na-natsume!" Mikan turned to him to cry at his chest.

Natsume sighed and hugged her; Mikan and Natsume have been friends for 3 years now, Since the start of High school, Natsume finally opened up to Mikan.

"Imai, what did you do again this time?" natsume asked with a bored tone. "Beats me, oh Mikan, take this so that you wont be late tomorrow" Hotaru handed an alarm clock to her. Mikan stopped crying and took the clock. She turned back to face Natsume "Sorry that I wet your shirt, Natsume" She saw Natsume smirk and knew something was wrong.

"Apology NOT accepted" his smirk growing wider. "Tomorrow, you have to make me a bento for lunch" Natsume left Mikan staring at nothing. Anna, Nonoko, Permy, Aoi and Hotaru were already heading home; Yuu, Kitsuneme, Youichi and Ruka was waiting for Natsume by the door.

*Present*

Mikan was finished getting ready, she wore her Blue checkered mini skirt and a blue polo, her hair was tied up in a pony tail and wore her brown boots. Her stuff was already packed the night before. She ran down stairs to find her Mother, Yuka Yukihara, waiting for Mikan with a bento. "Mom! I need to use the kitchen for a while" Mikan shouted before running into the kitchen. 30 mins later, Mikan finished making Natsume's bento.

"Mikan, whose that for?" yuka sat at the table. "Oh, this is for Natsume, he asked me to make him one" Mikan started eating her toast and when she drank her orange juice her mother suddenly said "Oh, are you and Natsume-kun dating already?" Mikan spit out her juice and was choking at the thought.

The thought of her and Natsume dating made her blush; to hide it she finished her food and took her things. She said good-bye to her mom and left for school. She looked at her watch '5:30 am' "hmm… I'll just walk since I have plenty of time"

It was cold and dark, Mikan wrapped her crimson red and black scarf; which Natsume bought for her, around her neck. She passed a park, as she was nearing the school gate, she heared foot steps coming from behind her. She picked up the pace and started running, the footsteps sounded like they were running as well.

Mikan was about to scream for help when someone grabbed her wrist and pulled her to an ally with her mouth covered. Thinking that she was going to be raped, tears started falling, she bit his hand and kicked his stomach. She heard him grunt, a grunt which she knew all too well.

She looked at the culprit when a sun beam reached him, he was wearing blue checkered pants and polo; And when it reached his face; Black messy hair, crimson red eyes and a pale complexion. Natsume.

She started to tear up. "Mou Natsume! I-i was so scared, I didn't know that y-you would do that!" Mikan stated running away but before she could run too far, Natsume grabbed her wrist and patted her head; he knew that patting her head was the only way to calm her down. "Im sorry Polka, but you shouldn't pass a park wearing a MINI skirt" Mikan pushed his hand away because he was smirking

1... 2... 3...

"NATSUME! YOU PERVERT! YOU SAW IT DIDNT YOU!" Mikan started blushing while hitting him. Natsume started laughing at her. She was the only one who could make him laugh like that.

"C'mon polka, we have to get to school before they leave us behind" Natsume started pulling her. "Well it was your fault" Mikkan giggled and ran ahead of him.

She extended her hand towards him and gave him a BIG smile. The smile that Natsume LOVED so much to see.

Hotaru, Permy, Anna, Nokoko and Aoi together with Ruka, Koko, Yuu, Kitsuneme and Youichi was waiting for Mikan and Natsume near the gate. Mikan and Natsume neared the gate and the first person they saw was Hotaru. 'Oh no...' Both Mikan and Natsume thought. BAKA BAKA BAKA BAKA! After the sound of HOtaru's Baka gun. Ruka and the others went outside and noticed two humps on both Natsume and Mikan's heads. The two rubbed their heads and winched in pain.

"Mou Hotaru! that hurt!" Mikan whined and Natsume glared at her. Natsume noticed that Mikan was about to cry (again) and started patting the bumps on her head. Mikan stopped whining and looked at Natsume, who was looking away.

"Class! time to get in the bus, now please get in the bus when i call your name" Narumi called as he neared the bus while holding a piece of paper.

We all got in the bus, Hotaru and Hoshiro were in the first row, Natsume and Ruka were in second row, Anna and Nokoko were in the third row, Yuu and Kitsuneme were in the forth row, Permy and Aoi were in the fifth row, Mikan and Luna were in the sixth row, Koko and Youichi were in the seventh row and so on...

Mikan hated to be seated next to Luna Koizumi, she is the President of the 'Natsume and Ruka' fanclub.

Mikan got a text. She read it;

To: Mikan S. Yukihira; From: Natsume Hyuuga

Hey Polka, how are you? I heard that you got stuck with the crazy Luna bitch. Anyway... Just text me when youre bored. If I don't reply, that means im asleep. Miss you!

Natsume felt his phone vibrate and read it;

To: Natsume Hyuuga; From: Mikan S. Yukihira

Natsume! Luna is scaring me! XD oh and NO B-WORD! mou natsume... Don't sleep all the time, I might text you every sec. Just kidding! Miss you too!

Natsume smiled while reading the text. He closed his phone when Narumi said "Ok class! were are now about to depart from the school grounds!"
