I.
"Ne, Hotaru, why are we sitting here?" Mikan questioned.
"What? We can't?" Hotaru shot her a glare.
"N-no, but if you haven't realized something, Natsume and Ruka sits here." Mikan mumbled.
It was a typical day at their after-school program for students until Hotrau made Mikan move to the NATSUME and RUKA table.
Natsume and Ruka sat at this table daily, it wouldn't be surprising if their names were carved on it. It's not like other students can't approach the table, it's just that people do, but it's not Mikan's style to be in the "popular" crowd.
"... So?" Hotrau looked up from her accounting book.
"... Sigh, I don't even bother complaining to you..." Mikan shook her head and buried herself in her homework.
Only a moment later, Natsume and Ruka strolled into the room.
"Silence! Natsume and Ruka are here!" some fangirls hissed at their gossiping friends.
Natsume and Ruka causally sat down at their usual table, acknowledging the existence of the other two students who were sitting there.
NATSUME'S POV:
"Damn. I wanted to be left in peace today! Why does some kind of fangirl has to butt in with the blackmailer?" My thoughts were filled with curses and swears.
"Whoa. Someone's feeling bad..." Koko chuckled, although he was speaking in a low voice and was all the way across the room- I heard him...
"NATSUME! MY HEAD! MY HAIR!" Koko exclaimed, jumping up from his chair and ran around the room with his hair on fire.
Masterpiece of Your's Truly. I sat back in satisfaction with a smirk playing on my lips.
Across from me, the girl with chocolate brown orbs and light brown hair sighed, placed her notebook down elegantly, stood, and walked over to Koko and touched him.
The fire died within seconds.
She looked at me, glaring as she graced over like a sly cat and took her seat.
NORMAL POV:
"What do you want?" Natsume mustered a glare of his own at Mikan.
"Nothing." Mikan replied, facing down on her notebook.
"Class dismissal." the teacher called out from the door way as students started stuffing their work into their bags, grabbed their bags and hurried out the classroom door.
As usual, Hotaru and Mikan were among one of the last people to leave- including Ruka and Natsume.
"Can't walk you home today, I have to get new supplies for my new project." Hotaru paced ahead.
"Bye, Natsume." Ruka raced away.
Everyone else just seemed to have left soon after that.
Soon, Mikan and Natsume were the last ones leaving the classroom.
Both of their hands extended at the same time to close the classroom door and just before they reached it, their hands touched- Mikan's small hand under Natsume's.
I'll close it." Natsume's lips curved into a small smile and ingored a tingling feeling from the palm of his hand that was touching Mikan's.
"Okay." Mikan pulled her hand away, headed towards the open front door and began to walk away from the building while reading a book.
As soon as Natsume closed the door and left the school building, he caught up with Mikan.
"You're from Mr. Narumi's class, aren't you?" Natsume asked.
"Yeah, so?" Mikan was more into the book in her hands than Natsume.
"I'm Natsume... Nice to meet you." Natsume smiled the little smile again.
"I'm Mikan." Mikan looked at Natsume and beamed warm smile at him, making him blush a tiny bit, but not enough to let Mikan see.
All the way to the end of the block, they were silent.
A weird pair they were, Mikan holding a book, reading while walking and Natsume's eyes wandering from place to place, sneaking glances at Mikan.
The next day, in school (Not afterschool, regular day school), Mikan was about to head into the library, when a BAKA rang out.
"Ouch, HOTARU!" Mikan exclaimed.
"You went home alone yesterday?" Hotaru asked emotionlessly with her trademark poker face on as she lowered her Baka gun.
"No. A certain boy by the name of Natsume Hyuuga walked me home. Not really walked me home, but we just went home together." Mikan replied.
"Oh." Hotaru headed down the hall, from where she was coming from just a few moments ago.
Natsume was randomly walking around the library when the tiny library door bell tingled.
And in stepped Mikan. She walked with grace to the librarian's desk, pulling out her library book from her tote bag- a thick volume with a wide frame.
"What the hell? Is she a nerd or what? Why doesn't she even wear glasses?" Natsume wondered, his mind lost in thoughts.
"BOO!" Mikan whispered into Natsume's ears.
Natsume jumped.
Mikan chuckled lightly, her voice like the sound of a soft, smooth melody.
"Not funny!" Natsume groaned. He hated surprises.
"Sorry..." Mikan apologizied.
"Anyways... What are you doing here?" Natsume looked at her.
"Studying world history" Mikan replied, gesturing to the thick volumes of books on a shelf behind to the left of Natsume.
"You study that kind of stuff?" Natsume asked surprised.
"Yeah..." Mikan replied, trailing off while giving a quick look-over of the thick volumes and finding not one she has not read...
"Well... Bye! My friends want to meet me for lunch." Mikan smiled and waved before hurrying out the library.
"Mikan! Is it true that the Prince (Natsume) walked you home yesterday?"Anna, Mikan's friend squealed as Mikan neared their usual table.
"We just walked together, that's all." Mikan shrugged.
"No fair! I wanna walk with him too, under the sun set..." Nokoko went off in her fantasy world.
"You're too over the fantasy border..." Hotaru stated, coldly.
"I wonder why he's all kinda friendly like..." Anna noted.
"I think he's kinda scary..." Elaine, the new transfer student from America walked over and sat down with them.
"Yep. But that's what makes him cool and over the top of the cute Ruka." Nonoko snapped out of her dreamy state.
"Welcome back to the real world..." Hotaru muttered.
