Mikan: Oh Hotaru! come on say it. you know that you can tell me anything right Hotaru?
Hotaru: it's just that it's my brother..he..he..he likes you.
Mikan: what?? are you serious?
Hotaru: BAKA!! ( she then hit Mikan with her baka gun.) Is there anytime that i'm not serious?
Mikan: Owww! Hotaru...it hurts. (serious again) does your brother really feel that way about me? But you know that i don't see him in that way right?
Hotaru: but you can just go out with him just for a week right.( she stopped and turned red) sorry. i didn't mean to say 's just that my brother talked to me after a long time. i was very to know that he has..that he has..feelings. i didn't wanted him to be sad again. how selfish of me! sry Mikan. just forget it.
Mikan: (seeing Hotaru sad.) you know what Hotaru? i might just go out with him. he's not that bad looking you know anyway, i don't have anyone else anyway. she stopped talking. (she thought about Natsume... why am i thinking about natsume?)
Hotaru: Oh mikan! really?? thank you mikan. just for that, i'll not sell these pics. (she held out pics of Mikan riding her bycycle but her polkadot undie was showing.)
Mikan: Hotaru!! (but she stopped yelling when she saw Hotaru smiling, seeing her warm smile made Mikan happy...then suddenly she saw Natsume in her mind. She then shook her head thinking "what's wrong with me?")
it had been a week since Mikan and Subaru went out. Subaru was sweet to her. he used to shower her with gifts. he used to hold her hand all the time. mikan liked Subaru but as a brother. mikan used to think about Natsume all the timewhich used to drive her nuts! she had once saw him glare at them( mikan and sabaru) when they were holding hands. he had quickly looked away when mikan's eye had caught his eye. even luca used to look at them but she thought it was normal as they were stared by many people. Subaru was pretty popular.
One day as Mikan and Subaru were walking at the CEntral town, Subaru stopped and looked at Mikan.
Subaru: you are not happy are you?
Mikan: what?? (startled by tyhe sudden question)
Subaru: about us going out..
Mikan: what made you think that? ( a little nervous.)
subaru: look Mikan. i know you. you aren't as jolly as you used to don't look happy.
Mikan: but i'm happy! (she saw him staring at her so she thought it was better to tell the truth.) ok so i don't like you in that way but as a brother...verrry much!.
Subaru: don't worry Mikan. it's okay
mikan: i'm sorry Subaru
Subaru: call me imai senpai. (smiling)
mikan: ok imai senpai.(smiling back)
The news about them breaking up was soon spreaded in the Alice academy. as she was walking to class, she saw luca going red and he was surrounded by Permi,nonoko. anna,koko and the rest. they were muttering " luca go on. it's now or never." Natsume was just sitting on his usual bench reading manga.
