Resentment, Ignorance, and Smiles

Twas all a normal day at Alice Academy. The kids were busy tying up and gagging Fukutan the substitute because of Narumi's absence. Hotaru was stalking Ruka to find a perfect blackmail picture. Tsubasa was getting ordered around by Misaki the middle schooler. Narumi was ditching his role as a teacher to steal more bean whips from the teacher Misaki.

All so normal.....ahh.....until suddenly an echoing scream went around campus.

"Kya!!", Mikan Sakura went as she tripped on a rock and landed flat on her face.

"Hnn, so, today a heart print design then?," a raven haired boy with crimson eyes smirked.

"N-Natsume! You hentai!," Mikan went as bared her teeth at him.

Natsume didn't think much of it, he walked away grinning ever so slightly.

Mikan got up and shook off the feeling of resentment. This was a daily process that surprised no one anymore. More than anything she grew to dislike Natsume. Hated almost, but not quite. It was only at the level of dislike. She brushed off her skirt and walked to class.

She entered and sat down next to a cardboard Hotaru. She was so used to this she even said Good Morning to the piece of cardboard now. She noticed that Ruka had not yet arrived and guess Hotaru was still stalking him with her camera, a great camera, buy one today! Only cost 7500 rabbits! CHEAP!

Anyways, I was paid to do that Ad.......Mikan's seat was far away from Natsume's seat. She tried her best to try to not need to interact with him. She decided to read a book, one with fairy tales and whatnot. Meanwhile the rest of Natsume's posse was debating whether to leave Fukutan there to squirm or to ask Permy if she wanted a nice new scratching post for her claws....hehehe...

Mkan had just finished "The Goose Girl" when Hotaru appeared beside her, the cardboard cutout disappeared with a pop and a cloud of dust. Mikan had become more emotionless since the day she entered the academy, begging them to let her in so she could go see Hotaru.

"Good Morning Mikan-chan,"Hotaru said more cheerfully trying to get Mikan to smile. It didn't work. Mikan hardly smiled anymore, it was a rare sighting to see her with her old giant grin of happiness. Ruka appeared next to her saying Good Morning and asking her if she would go to Central Town with him and Hotaru, mainly cause Hotaru would stalk him anyways so might as well ask her to come.

Mikan nodded slightly, not even bothering to look at him in the face and say ok, or even Good Morning.

Natsume watched all this from a distance. Sure he wasn't very used to her attitude now. He missed the old Mikan, not that he would ever admit it but still!

'She almost never smiles anymore, talks, or even looks at us at all. I mean really what is her problem? She won't really even talk to Imai anymore that much, and thats reaching a critical level! I mean honestly! What will it take for her to notice us? To notice me?!?!............Wait, did I just think that?!?! I have GOT to be going crazy then! Urgh, she not pretty or anything, she is just a close friend. Yeah thats it. Although she has been ignoring me lately, bleh, I shouldn't care....' Natsume thought all this silently with a blank emotionless expression he was famous around campus for.

He got out his manga and tried to focus on it. He felt Ruka sit next to him and roll a small ping pong ball around the desk for his usagi-chan to chase. He couldn't get Mikan out of his head. He kept thinking of her until he felt Ruka look at him strangly.

"What?," he said, not looking up from his manga.

"Uhh, Natsume, you realize you have been staring at the same page for the past 10 minutes right?

Natsume looked up and stole a quick glance at Mikan who was now doing one of Jinno-sensei's five-page essays. Natsume looked at Ruka and flat out went straight to the point.

"Whats up with Mikan? She has been acting more like a baka than before," Natsume stated hardly blinking.

Ruka shrugged and watched Usagi-chan trying to go for a new bounce record, its current was 7 feet.

"I dunno, it feels as if she is getting more and more distant from us. Its hard to cope with. Besides she is much prettier when she smiles instead of that grimace sort of thing that she always wears now," Ruka said right before a ping pong ball hit him in the eye. Usagi-chan hopped up to him and inspected his not really injured eye.

Natsume didn't say anything. He knew of Ruka's infatuation with Mikan since forever ago. He closed his manga and walked out of the classroom, his mind still on Mikan.

He found himself at his favorite tree. Shaking his head in why he came here he sat down, and he fell asleep right there......

----Dream sequence----

He opened his eyes to find himself in a small orchard of Cherry Blossoms......Sakura Trees.....with oranges? He inspected the Sakura trees, they all were bearing ripe oranges.

He looked around only to find out he is completely surrounded by the trees. The tree's petals fluttered everywhere. He caught one of the many petals, it turned a blackish sort of color and he quickly released it.

-----wakeyfullness!!!-----

Natsume woke with a start.

All the petals that touched him wither and died.....

He thought for a moment. Because of me, he thought. She hates me.......its all my fault.

------End of the Depressing Chapter 1------

Wahh, so sad. Don't worry! It will get better later, if I can get Ch.2 up!
