"What a freak" Natsume said as he sits down. It meant for her (well who else.. of coarse Mikan). Ruka turned to him and said, " You shouldn't said that, she might hear you." "And so what?!" he replied.

But too late, she heard everything. "Who are you calling freak? FREAK!" the angry Mikan said, but Natsume ignored her. Mikan was pissed off cause of it. She moved closer to Natsume and started throwing him her words of make-over (thing like.. I'll become this or that)

Natsume stood up and said " dream on little girl". She moves closer to him as if she's gonna kiss him and she said, " We'll see about that!" Natsume blushed but he turned to the other way to hide it, and gave her a 'Hmph'.

After that fight, Mikan started working hard to prove him wrong. Weeks and months passed, she improved a lot in her studies and other courses, including her alice. And she also acquired fame.

While Natsume, he just can't believe, that she's really doing it. He thought he must have hurt his beloved's feeling, so he decided to talk to her, nut he can't find a chance to do it.

One day, for the preparation for the up coming festival, everyone is busy doing his or her stuff. Mikan whose fame increased, was really busy and almost worn out by the occasion. She decided to go to her room that afternoon to rest a bit.

As she passed by the staircase at the second floor, she saw Natsume standing by the wall, and he seems to be waiting for someone.

Mikan thought there's no need for her to greet him cause she knew he'll ignore her. But as she passed through him, he grabs her arm.

"ouch.. hey get off me" she said. Natsume just stared at her, and once again Mikan asked him to release her arms, but Natsume throws her a question she didn't expect from him. "what's wrong with you?"

Mikan was confused and didn't know what to answer, and then she came up with asking him the same question. "You were'nt like this before. You're so different" he answered her. Going back to the past, Mikan said "so what do you care?? You wouldn't like to see a freak, won't you?"

Natume reduces the tight hold to gentle one, and he filled the hallway with silence. And Mikan was really confused by the situation. Shw was about to cut the silence, but Natsume pushed her againt the wall.

"you did manage to change the freak in you, but you also take away the true smile you you used to wear" he said angrily but with concern.

Mikan bowed down a little and said, "It was you who took those smile a way. You never noticed what I feel! You always make me down"

"But even you didn't noticed what I really feel! You never stopped smiling though I tease you before. And I just want to see those smile everyday!" He said as he punched the wall.

Mikan was shocked, and before she knows Natsume kissed her and held her in her arms.

Everything happened so fast. Mika don't wanna believe it was happening. She never imagined the grumpiest, annoying, but special to her is kissing her at the moment.

Natsume move his head a little away from her and started telling his feelings towards the girl. " You see Mikan, like you, and I can't stand seeing you like that. Those smiles you used to have gives me reason to live my life in the way I wanted. You gave my life a direction."

'My beloved Natusme like me all those time?' she thought. Then she said to him " the reason I change the way I used to be is because of you. I want to become someone who deserves for your love. But I didn't really mean to let go of those smiles"

The hugged her tightly as she hugs him back. "I'm sorry he said" Then kisses her again and hoped that it won't last.
