CHAPTER I: Announcements? Surprisingly Shocking!
It was early in the morning, Class B of the middle school branch was having their English period when two Special Star students, namely, Mikan and Natsume, got called to the visiting rooms. The two of them went to their separate visiting rooms.
…Mikan's visiting room…
"Hello Mikan, how are you?" greeted a husky voice.
"Father, may I know the reason why you're here?" asked Mikan.
"Well then, let's get to the point. The reason why I came here is to tell you that you are going to have a marriage interview on Friday."
"What? Why? Dad, I'm only 16…why do I have to marry at such a young age? I still want to do a lot of things before I get to marry someone and besides, I want to attend college!" exclaimed Mikan frantically.
"In 2 years time, you'll be old enough to marry someone. The purpose of the marriage interview is for the two soon-to-be couples to get to know each other."
"No! I don't want this." Mikan shouted while she covered her face with her hands.
…Natsume's visiting room…
"Natsume, how are you?" greeted Natsume's father, Shinsuke Hyuuga.
"I've never been better. Since the day you transferred me here, it was HELL!"
"Now, now, don't over exaggerate. This simple visit is to tell you that you're going to have a marriage interview on Friday."
"What's with the sudden announcement? Is that part of your plan to ruin more my already wrecked future?" stated Natsume raging in anger.
"Hmm? That's a pretty good idea."
"What the hell? What do you want to happen to me?"
"Natsume, don't overreact, what I'm doing is for your future. It's for the best."
"What on earth are you talking about? If I get married to whoever that girl is, my life would really be a living hell!" Natsume banged his fist on the wall and he started to head for the door.
…Mikan's visiting room…
The two heard a loud thud from the other room.
"Hmm…I see, so 'that' guys is doing the same thing." stated Mikan's father, Kanazawa Sakura.
'What? Don't tell me that Natsume is…'Mikan's eyes widened, she never had the thought that someday, Natsume would get married to some other girl.
"Father, I'm sorry but I have to go." said Mikan leaving the room.
When Mikan and Natsume left their own rooms, they crossed paths and bumped into each other. Mikan was the one who fell on her butt because Natsume kept his balance.
"O-ouch…" Mikan groaned as she eased her sore butt. Suddenly, she saw a hand reaching up to her. When she looked up to see who it was, she saw that it was Natsume. She happily held his hand, while Natsume helped her get up.
"You're in an awfully good mood. What did you eat this morning?" teased Mikan.
"Hmpf…you're not just a doofus, you're even a klutz." said Natsume turning his back.
" Why do you bother helping me if you'd just tease me?" complained Mikan.
"Tch, I have no time for this so, see ya later RIBBONS!"
"Wh-what the—you perverted freak!" Mikan exclaimed while she reached for Natsume's hand. When she finally got a hold of his hand, she punched him on the shoulder. "That's for insulting me." said Mikan sticking out her tongue.
Natsume thought of a way to tease Mikan again so he grabbed Mikan by the wrist and pinned her to the wall and he neared his lips to hers. 'H-he's not gonna…'thought Mikan paralyzed. "N-Natsume, stop joking around…I-I know you're j-joking…" muttered Mikan looking at Natsume. Natsume just smirked and went nearer to Mikan's face. When Natsume was already nose to nose with Mikan, Mikan closed her eyes knowing and thinking that Natsume would really kiss her. Natsume looked at Mikan whose eyes were closed. He snickered and at the same time, got away from Mikan. When Mikan heard Natsume's snickers, she opened her eyes and saw the jerk looking at her with laughing eyes. Natsume gave Mikan a teasing smile which made Mikan angrier.
"Natsume you jerk! Pervert! Molester!" Mikan shrieked then she started to chase Natsume. Natsume ran away from Mikan and then he went to his dorm room. Mikan stopped in her tracks when she saw the beautiful Sakura trees in full bloom; she was so amazed by this that she forgot about Natsume. "I see, so it's almost Summer…" muttered Mikan looking up the sky.
Inside the faculty room…
A certain blonde-haired teacher and a brown-haired teacher were talking about a transfer student coming in. "Narumi, make sure you take care of him properly. He's the son of one of the endorsers of this school and he was once one of your students." stated Jinno, the assistant director of the school.
"Hai hai! What about the star rank? Is it the same as before?" asked Narumi.
"No. The star rank he'll get is the current one. Make sure that he will be taken care of properly."
"Okay, I'll be going then."
In Class B…
Students were happily making noise while they waited for their homeroom teacher, Narumi, to enter the classroom. After a few minutes, Narumi came in. "Good morning students, I just came to announce something. We will be having a new student so please treat him well. That's all, I'm gonna leave you to your self-study class." announced Narumi then he exited the room.
When Narumi was out of sight, the students started murmuring. Others were saying, "I hope the new student is a girl." Some were wishing, "I wish he's a boy." And some were hoping, "I hope that the newbie isn't a snob."
Mikan and Natsume were talking about it too, mostly Mikan.
"Natsume, what do you think the new student will be? A boy or a girl?" asked Mikan while looking at her partner.
"Who cares." Natsume answered rudely.
"C'mon don't be like that. For once, can't you show that you're interested in our class?"
"Tch. He'd probably not be a blabber head like you."
Mikan was getting pissed by the minute. Natsume just kept on reading his manga. "Geez…Natsume, how big of a jerk are you?" muttered Mikan then she leaned her back on her chair.
"When will you stop acting so childish?" muttered Natsume to himself while he was taking side glances at Mikan.
It was almost the end of the day but the new student still hadn't come in. Everyone in the classroom was getting impatient. When they were at the tip of losing their patience, a blonde-haired teacher came in twirling around like a ballerina. He was also wearing a ballerina costume. Narumi clapped his hands and got the attention of the class, "Okay everyone, please settle down. I know that it's almost the end of the day but please respect and welcome him." After that, Narumi motioned to someone outside the door to come in.
A blonde-haired boy with sparkling azure eyes entered the room. He was already wearing the school uniform. Everyone in the room was shocked. They all had different reactions. The girls were mostly saying, "Kawaii! " "OMG! He's so handsome." "He's so dreamy…" "Another bishounen…We're really lucky." Seeing the girls' reactions almost all of the boys, except for Natsume and some, were all down in the dumps and they began sulking in one corner. They were mostly saying things like, "Oh no! Another pretty boy." "We're really losers…" "All the girls really like him…" "Another one? This is just too much. First there's Natsume and the other guys there and now, this guy? We're doomed!" But the guys all agreed on one thing and that's what they last said, "We're DOOMED!" Even Mikan and Natsume had their own reactions.
"Natsume, isn't he cute?" Mikan said dreamily, she was kinda hypnotized like most of the girl population in the classroom.
"Tch. Whatever." Natsume said in a cool voice but his thoughts were, 'What's wrong with you Mikan? Can't you remember him?'
When Mikan heard the way Natsume snapped at her, she snapped out of her trance state and went back to her normal self.
"Natsume, what the hell is your problem?"
"Do I still have to answer that?"
"Yeah. I'm asking you a question. What people do when they're being questioned is to answer directly!"
"Hn."
"Don't Hn me! Answer my question you jerk!"
"You don't really know what my problem is?"
"Just answer the question!"
"If I tell you the answer, will that shut that loud mouth of yours?"
Mikan didn't say anything; she just gave Natsume a stern look. While the two were fighting, Narumi asked the new student to introduce himself to the class.
"It's you!" exclaimed Natsume angrily.
