The Prince of My Life
"Even though, you are so annoying, I still like you."
-Mikan Sakura
Mikan Sakura likes fairy tales. She always believed that her prince charming was out there whose only quest was to find her and together, they would live in a happily-ever-after story. They would fight all the odds including scary witches or creepy warlocks and even frightening goblins, so that they would achieve their happy ending later. And not only that, they would live every day with a smile on their lips and true love in their midst. They would even have many kids and live in a grand house...It's all part of her dream, a dream that was born from her fantasies as a child...
"Class, I'd like you to meet Natsume Hyuuga," Mr. Narumi smiled enthusiastically to his students. The boy next to him had a bored expression on and kept on yawning. The girls wailed as they thought that he was really gorgeous and the boys were annoyed by it. But the boy paid no heed with this and just remained yawning until the end of the introductions.
"Natsume-kun's partner should be Mikan-chan since she's the only one who doesn't have a partner," Mr. Narumi said. "Mikan-chan, can you please raise your hand?"
The girls moaned, starting to complain with Mr. Narumi's decision. But the chosen girl sat quietly at the corner near the window, without knowing what's happening around her and just stared at the clouds with a carefree expression.
"Ms. Sakura?" Mr. Narumi hollered. "Is she here?"
Hotaru Imai raised her hand, stood up and said, "Mr. Narumi, the idiot was in her own world again. You know best that no one can interrupt her on that state."
Mr. Narumi sighed and turned to the boy on his side, "Natsume-kun, please sit beside Mikan-chan, the girl at the corner who is busy looking outside."
The class laughed. Natsume just snorted and made his way towards Mikan. He sat beside her and she didn't even look at him. She just continued to stare outside, a smile playing on her lips.
"The clouds are so carefree. I wonder if someday I could be like that," Mikan muttered, loud enough for Natsume to hear. He frowned and glanced at her. She was still entranced by the view outside.
"Maybe," Natsume found himself answering her. Mikan broke from her reverie and finally turned her head towards Natsume's direction. Her eyes widened with fear and she stood up.
"M-Mr. N-Narumi! A-a b-boy a-appeared b-beside m-me!" Mikan stammered and backed away from her chair, clutching her chest. Natsume raised his eyebrow and followed Mikan's actions. Just now in his mind, Mikan Sakura's image had been formed, a definitely weird girl who sprouts non-sense out of nowhere.
"Mikan-chan, it's because you're spacing out a while ago that you don't know that he's your new classmate. And he's also your partner. His name is Natsume Hyuuga," Mr. Narumi grinned and gave a wink towards Mikan. She slowly went to her seat and sat down.
"I'm sorry," Mikan said and smiled warmly.
"Weird girl," Natsume murmured and looked away. Mikan looked at him incredulously and asked, "Did you just call me weird?" Natsume rolled his eyes, "Don't make me repeat what I said." Mikan stood up again and shouted, "Mr. Narumi, Natsume-kun is rude. He just called me weird, pathetic, little girl! Isn't that bad?"
"Oi, I didn't go that far," Natsume protested. Mr. Narumi snapped the chalk into two on the blackboard and faced both of them angrily, "Let me begin our lessons first before both of you start complaining, alright?"
The Prince of My Life
Mikan toured Natsume around the school and ended up climbing the Sakura Tree with him afterwards. Mikan smiled with satisfaction as she watched the clouds drifting away from each other on the skies.
"The clouds are beautiful," Mikan murmured. Natsume looked at her weirdly and commented, "You're so carefree. Don't you have any problems at all?" Mikan smiled sadly and glanced at Natsume. "Actually I have a very big problem," she murmured seriously. Natsume nodded and asked, "May I know what is it?" Mikan shook her head and hollered, "You'll tell the whole school about it if you knew!"
"Oh please, as if I had many friends already at the first day of school," Natsume rolled his eyes. Mikan pouted and looked away, "Just promise me, you won't tell anybody!" Natsume shrugged and told Mikan to go on. He promised that he would keep quiet. Then Mikan leaned on Natsume's ears and whispered, "My big problem is I haven't found my prince charming yet. Isn't that pitiful?" And Natsume nearly fall down from the Sakura Tree.
"Are you kidding me?" He muttered dangerously. Mikan shook her head, frowning that Natsume didn't take her seriously and said, "I hate you. You're taking my big problem as a joke." Natsume grunted, "Give me a break. You're utterly impossible." Then he went down from the Sakura tree and looked up at Mikan. He smirked and shouted from the bottom, "You are an idiot, a certified stupid girl who likes to wear childish panties." And he mouthed, "Polka dots."
Mikan's face flushed with embarrassment and cried, "You're a pervert!"
The Prince of My Life
The school bell rang and everybody packed their things. It was time for them to go home. Mikan stood up and rushed outside the classroom. Natsume looked at her retreating form, puzzled. Then he noticed a presence beside him and he turned around to look.
"Don't tell me you're falling in love with her?" A girl with short, violet hair asked him. Natsume snorted and said, "I would never fall in love with an idiot, Imai." The said girl rolled her eyes and commented, "Impressive, you knew my name already Hyuuga." He shrugged and picked up his things. He swung his bag in his shoulders and exited the classroom.
"Hyuuga, don't you know that you're an idiot too. And an idiot attracts another idiot," she murmured.
The Prince of My Life
Natsume saw Mikan across the street. She was looking at the clouds that were painted with red orange because of the sunset. He saw her smiled and cross the streets absentmindedly. A car was approaching her, honking because she was in the way. But she didn't notice it because she was too busy watching the skies.
Natsume's eyes widened and ran towards Mikan. He shouted, "Polka dots look out." That's when she looked up at Natsume and hollered, "Don't call me stupid, polka dotted panty girl." Natsume just rolled his eyes and said, "I didn't go that far and in case you want to know, your life is in danger and I'm saving it." Natsume knocked her out on the side and because of the impact, his lips landed on top of hers and together they fall down on the concrete floor.
Their eyes widened as they saw the position they were in. Natsume immediately got off Mikan and both of them pretended that they were going to vomit. "That was nasty," Mikan commented. Natsume shrugged and said, "Yeah, a very nasty one because it came from a girl with polka dots as the pattern of their panty." Mikan raised an eyebrow and said, "Really, then your kiss sucks because you don't know how to kiss."
It was Natsume's turn to frown and muttered, "You said that I don't know how to kiss." Mikan nodded and looked away. Natsume smirked and said, "Then I show you how I really kiss a girl." He reached for her collar and pulled her towards him. He captured his lips with his and kissed her deeply. He tilted his head so that they could kiss better. After a few seconds he stopped and asked Mikan, "Do I still don't know how to kiss?"
Mikan smiled and said, "I want to test it one more time." She pulled his head towards her and kissed him again. His snaked his arms in her waist and pulled her closer. She, on the other hand, was messing up his raven hair. Then they broke up, panting.
"Well, maybe you've done better this time," Mikan told him. Natsume smirked and let go of Mikan. She gave him a warm smile and turned around to go home. He followed behind her and looked at her back. Their kiss a while ago gave him butterflies in the stomach and his heart was on cloud nine. He didn't know the feeling he had for her, knowing that they only met that morning. Then she turned around to face him, nearly bumping to him.
"Oi watch out," Natsume glared at her. Mikan just grinned and said, "You know Natsume, I think I already found my prince charming just now." Natsume frowned and looked around, "Where the hell is that person? I bet he's ugly and geeky." Mikan laughed and said, "You're cute when you're jealous Natsume." He grimaced at her and hollered, "I'm not jealous. Now tell me, who the hell is prince charming?"
He looked around. He saw a fat boy and snickered. On the right of the fat boy was a geeky boy with a lot of pimples. And he frowned when he saw a handsome blonde boy with rabbit on his hands. The blonde boy was emitting a prince-charming aura and he just grunted. He tapped his foot impatiently and glanced at Mikan, "I'm waiting."
Mikan just laughed and said, "You know Natsume, he was talking with me right now." Natsume rolled his eyes. Then her words finally registered on his mind. His eyes widened and stared at Mikan. "You gotta be kidding me. We just met this morning." Mikan smiled and said, "Well, all fairy tale princesses fell in love with their prince charming on the first sight. Even though, you are so annoying, I still like you."
Then Natsume smirked, "Is that how you talk to the person you like?" He pulled Mikan closer to him and muttered, "I must apologize for Imai because I lied to her a while ago."
