Chapter 1

Alice Academy's Main Hall was packed with students from all over Japan, and the hallway was buzzing with the students' cheerful conversations. Our brunette though, pushed through the students and she felt her head throb. Never in her life had she seen so many students packed under the same roof. She felt beads of sweat running down from her forehead while she struggled to get out of the small space.

Then finally, she was out.

Mikan sighed a sigh of relief then after that, she returned to her happy-go-lucky self. Her mouth curved into a smile as soon as she saw that boy, the boy with messy yet perfect raven hair and stunning crimson eyes.

"Hey, Natsume!" Mikan waved at him and smiled a happy smile.

Crimson eyes rested his gaze at the Brunette and his mouth curved into a barely visible smile as soon as he saw who that girl is. She was the girl whom he loved so much since he laid his eyes on her. Well, he loved her… secretly.

Until stupid Koko, according to Natsume, accidentally read his thoughts.

Poor Koko was threatened by our crimson eyed lad not to tell anyone or else he's gonna end up as barbecued meat.

Back to reality..

"Polka." Natsume said while his eyes sparkled with more excitement as he saw Mikan walking to his direction. His usual stoic face didn't show emotion, though.

Mikan beamed at Natsume.

"What're you beaming at?"

"Oh, well, it's just that I never talked to you in ages!" Mikan threw her hands up in the air for effect.

"Stupid girl, it's only been two days."

"So what? I've missed you Natsume!" Mikan grinned playfully at him. What she didn't know was that her words stung him more than she could imagine.

"Whatever, Polka." I've missed you too.

"You don't have to be so rude." Mikan pouted rather playfully at Natsume and crossed her arms in front of him.

Natsume rolled his eyes and let out a sigh.

"I have to go."

"Where oh where will my friend go to?" Mikan acted dramatically; obviously she's in her playful self.

"Sakura tree."

"Can I come?" Mikan grinned at Natsume to no end.

"Hn."

"Thanks Natsume!" while Mikan said this, Natsume started to walk to the direction of the Sakura tree, it's not really that far from where they stood earlier. Mikan walked beside Natsume's right.

At that time, Natsume's hand was aching to hold her hand. Badly.
