Chapter One: String

Mikan's POV

I glance on my watch and it says 7:30am and I guess I'm still early for class. I turned to the left and head to my locker. It's the 2nd week of my Junior year and still same old me.I was busy getting my books, preoccupied with the thoughts of how I should keep my grade up. Didn't know that somebody was behind me and slowly whispered in my ear;

"I know you like me."

My eyes widened. I know that voice anywhere! I turned to my right and saw him leaning on the lockers.

"Natsume, early in the morning your arrogance and conceitedness are going high way up."

He smirked at me and said,"Are you still playing hard to get?" and crosses his arms to his chest.

I chuckled, "Playing hard to get eh? Sorry to burst your bubble Mister but I'm not interested in you."

I slammed my locker close and walked away from him. I heard his footsteps behind me and rolled my eyes.

'I walked faster and so did he.'

'I stopped, he stopped.'

'I walked, he walked.'

'I turned around, he stopped.'

I glared at him and said "Stop following me, Hyuuga."

He smirked "Sorry to burst your bubble Miss but we have the same class, no I mean the same classes."

I almost pulled out my hair with frustration and I just continue to where I'm heading to. As I got inside the classroom, my classmates greeted my good morning and I responded with a nod and a greeting. I sat on my seat which is by the window and totally forgot the fact that he is my seatmate. I swear, why does he do this? He even switch classes. I just want to bang my head on the wall. Does he have any shame? Blurting out those words as if he is assured by it.

"Morning seatmate." He greeted me with a smile. Ugh speaking of the devil.

I clenched my fist "Why? Why must all of people I have to seat with you?" I turned to him "Did you bribe the teacher or something?"

"Maybe or maybe not." he said and continue "and maybe it's fate."

"Again Hyuuga you and your fate talk again." I face away from him.

"Why don't you just go out with me?" he poked my shoulder and shrugged it off.

"No, Hyuuga."

"Just admit it, you like me."

"In your dreams Hyuuga."

"Fine be that way Mikan, You know I'm not gonna give up on you." he said.

"I know" I muttered.

"Did you say something?" he asked

"Nothing." I respond.

Then Hyuuga put his head down to sleep again.

The door opened and revealed our homeroom teacher "Ah good morning my lovely students! How was your weekend? Well should we start an activity again? It's the first day of the second week!"

I swear Mr. Narumi's antics could be a good thing or a bad thing. I looked around and saw students groan. The first activity that we had was just getting a paper from his magic box and that will determine who will be our seatmate. At that time Hyuuga isn't in my class yet, he belongs into another class and I was relieved by that. But on the third day of the week, the boy who was supposed to be my seatmate for the quarter was seated in front row seat and me? Stuck with Hyuuga sitting next to me.

"Here with me is a box"

by then Hyuuga stirred and woke up. Narumi continued-

"each student will pull out a string and on the other end would be your partner for the year. But first let's separate boys will be on the left side of the classroom and girls on the right."

We started to separate ourselves and each of us waited for our turn to get the string.

I was hoping that I don't get Hyuuga this time.

Then, when everybody has their own string. Mr. Narumi said to pull the string and find the other end.

And oh guess who it was on the other end?

I consider myself as the unluckiest girl today.

I looked down to the string and glared at it.

Realized it was useless-

As if anything is going to change.

I sigh, Stuck with the Hyuuga again huh?
