Title: White Lie

Summary: It started when I told them a simple white lie to get out of a situation. But it wasn't exactly planned. It was an indirect white lie! That tiny white lie eventually turned out to be big as the days go by. Why is this happening to me?

"Hey, Mikan! Wait up" Ruka said as he catches up with me. I looked at him and he's still stunning as ever.

"Hey" I managed to say, stopping the giggle smile that's about to be formed on my lips. I really like him ever since. He was always so gentle and caring. He's also handsome!

"Are you headed to our next class? Let's go there together" As Ruka said that, I felt like blushing really hard. "Are you sick? Why are you so red?" he asked and put his hand on my forehead to feel my temperature. I can feel my knees starting to get wobbly.

"I'm—" I was about to say but he quickly removed his hand from my forehead and then blushed. What's his problem? Is it his turn to have a fever?

"Where were you, baka? I've been looking for you" Hotaru said as she comes up to me. She didn't even bother looking at Ruka.

"I knew you missed me, Hotaru!" I tried to hug her but she only shot me with the baka gun. "You're such a meanie, Hotaru!" I cried.

"I've been worried that something bad happened to you," Hotaru said and looked at Ruka. "But here you are with him. Now I know why—" I looked at Hotaru with an extremely warning look.

"I-is something wrong?" Ruka asked after a few minutes because Hotaru kept staring at him.

"Didn't you know that this baka likes—" I placed my hand on her lips to stop her. She can't tell Ruka that I like him! I must look for an escape! I looked around and got a hint. I got an idea! I know what to do!

"Natsume!" I was trying to divert the attention to Natsume but it seems like Ruka misinterpreted it. Hotaru knows everything and she's grinning at me right now.

"You like Natsume, Mikan?" Ruka teased me and I felt as if my world was crushing. Even Natsume heard it and he was smirking at me right now. No, please. Don't go near me.

"So you finally told them, huh?" Natsume said and put his arms over my shoulder. This stupid, egotistic, sick bastard! What's his problem?

"I didn't know you two had a relationship Natsume" Ruka said and laughed.

This isn't happening. This isn't real. This is just a dream. I'll just have to slap myself and I'll wake up from this nightmare. 1, 2, 3—SLAP!

"It's alright honey. This is reality and you don't have to have a hard time telling them about our relationship" Natsume said and removed my hands from my cheeks.

RING!

"We have to talk, Natsume!" I glared at him but he only smirked back and went inside the classroom.

Ugh! I hate him! Why does he have to ruin everything! Ruka won't like me now. He's Natsume's best friend. I don't think he would believe it even if I take it back. I hate you, Natsume! I took my notebook out of my bag and wrote a big "Natsume" on it and was about to tear into pieces but then someone took it from me.

"You haven't been listening to me, Sakura." Jino-sensei took it away from me and read it aloud. I can feel my cheeks starting to heat up. "NATSUME, huh?"

"It's not what you think, sensei!" I said in a little voice. I was about to tear it apart. I can't face my classmates now because they are all laughing at me. I glanced sideways and even Ruka is laughing too. I really want to cry due to embarrassment.

"Since you are thinking about him right now," Jinno-sensei tried to look like he's thinking hard. "Why don't you sit beside Natsume then? Shoda exchange seats with Sakura"

"But—" Before Sumire and I can protest, Jinno-sensei looked at us seriously. If looks could kill, we might've been dead by now. So instead of complaining, we both complied.

I didn't bother looking at Natsume but I could sense that he was smirking at me. I sat as far as possible to him.

"Didn't know you had the hots for me" he whispered and I shivered.

This is my unluckiest day.

(A/N: So this idea came up to me awhile ago before I go to sleep. Tell me what you think about it! Read and review it please :) I will make it longer in the next chapters to come.)
