A/N:Hello! Its me again with another story! Your reviews from my first fanfic(The Things We Do For Love)inspired me to write this one. Enjoy!
The Day Mikan Watched A Horror Movie
Chapter 1:
It was around 4PM and the halls of the Academy were filled with tension. Yes ,the students were in the midst of their Summer examinations;These exams determined their graduation to the higher class so ,naturally,they were vital for every student.
Each section of the Academy(The Elementary,Middle and High School sections) had seperate exam routines. Hence,the gap between each of their papers were also different.
Today,the Middle School students were a little relaxed unlike the Elementary and High school pupils. They had currently begun their three-day gap before their Math exam. Fortunately for them,they had the biggest gap for Math which was so far ,the toughest subject. Mikan was obviously the happiest to see this;Math was her main downfall.
Mikan and her friends were all now 15-year old Middle schoolers. Even with the passage of time,they all still retained their individual characters;Mikan had only become much brighter. She began acing most of her classes(except for Math)and had become what you call 'beauty and brains'.Maybe it was because of the guidance she sometimes received from her intelligent best friend,Hotaru Imai or from the endless tutoring sessions from her genius boyfriend,Natsume Hyuuga. Nevertheless ,she had really become smarter.
Although Mikan had improved in the intellectual field,she still couldn't surpass her boyfriend and best friend or Tobita Yuu. For unlike Mikan,they didn't have to study three weeks in were natural geniuses.
Natsume,Ruka,Koko,Sumire and Yuu all in casuals,were currently in the big dining hall of the Middle School. It was tea time and they were busy snacking on some pastries,scones and sipping iced teas. While the other four were engaged in conversation,Natsume was engrossed in his manga.
Anna and Nonoko along with Mochiage later joined the group and Anna also brought her delicious Baked-Angel Cake for everyone to sample.
"Shit Anna,this looks and tastes amazing! I feel like eating the whole thing just by myself!" Koko delacared,his mouth full of cake,much to the disgust of his girlfriend,Sumire.
"Ugh,Koko! Don't speak with your mouth full dammit! Do I have to teach you your manners again?!" She scolded.
"Sorry Permy! Its just...soooo...good..!"
"Hehe,thanks Koko!"Anna giggled.
"Yeah,Kokos right,this cake is really good Anna!" Ruka said. Everyone(excluding Natsume) then began talking about Anna's cakes,or rather her cooking in general and how her Alice had improved.
Everyone's Alice actually improved over the past three years. This particular group however,were the best Alice weilders in the class. But,even though they had come a long way with their Alice control,they still had alot more to learn.
"So,hows your preperations for Math going guys?" Yuu changed the subject.
Everyone groaned.
"Thanks for the reminder Linchou." Sumire said sarcastically.
"Well I don't know about the rest of you but I'm done for." Mochu said. Natsume was still reading,ignoring everyone's presence.
"Yeah,Jinnos a tough task master! He pities no one!" Wailed Nonoko.
"I wish someone had a Mind Manipulating Alice. That way, they could manipulate Jinnos mind to make him go easy on us"
"True! True!"
While all of them were busy talking about the ways and means to make Jinno's life miserable, Hotaru appeared carrying two bottles of Snapple(Kiwi and Apple flavours)and a DVD container. She occupied the vacant spot between Sumire and Ruka and put the bottles on the table.
"Ah! Hotaru! Here you are!"
"Yeah where were you?"
"Studying I suppose.I wonder why though. She's already smart enough" Koko smirked.
Hotaru helped herself to some of Anna's cake. "Shutup you idiot. I was helping Mikan out. That dummy took two hours to understand Pythogorus' Theorem."
Koko reached out to help himself to some of Hotaru's Snapple,but his hand was smacked by her before he could even grab the bottle. "Oww!" He yelped.
Natsume's eyes peered away from his manga to Hotaru as soon as he heard his girlfriend's name. Truth to be told,he hadn't seen Mikan for the past week now and that was alot for him.
He and Mikan were always together.
But,as soon as exams drew closer,he saw less and less of her and finally,stopped seeing her at all. They were also both in seperate exam halls(The separation was done to avoid cheating)making it even harder for them to even get a glimse of each other. Natsume was obviously missing his girlfirend,with her strawberry smell,her childish ways,her laugh,her...
"Oi Natsume. I thought you used to tutor Mikan?" Koko's question interrupted the flame-caster's thoughts. He had read his mind and went a little red. Natsume noticed this and gave him a murderous look,warning him not to spill out his thoughts.
"He used to,but gets 'distracted' too often." Hotaru pointed out before taking a gulp of her Kiwi Snapple. Natsume scowled at her. This 'fact' made by Hotaru earned alot of awkward looks and smirks from the people in the group.
"Haha!Whoa!What's that supposed to mean?" Koko asked,much to Natsume's annoyance.
"Get your damn information right Imai" He said while glaring at the inventor.
"Yes,I remember Mikan mentioning a month ago about Natsume tutoring her!" Nonoko said.
"Speaking of Sakura,where is she anyway?I haven't seen her all day." Ruka asked her best friend.
"Come to think of it,so have I. I only saw her day before at our English exam" Sumire agreed.
"Me too!"
"Same here.I saw her only yesterday!"
Natsume felt somewhat defeated after knowing that everyone had at seen Mikan more often than he had. She was his girlfriend for crying out loud! If anyone was to see the most of her,it had to be him!
"I haven't seen her for the past 10 days" He blurted out, absent-mindedly, but rather softly and went back to reading his manga..But it was loud enough for the whole group to hear him.
They gasped.
"What the hell!"
"The inserparable couple haven't seen each other for 10 days?!"
"No shit!"
"How's that even possible?"
"Aww,you two must be missing each other"
"Yeah,I know what Natsume misses most... Her.." Announced Koko,almost about to blurt out Natsume's earlier thoughts.
"Shut the hell up you faggot. Unless you want me to burn you up.I won't hesitatate. In fact,all of you shut up. You sound like a pack of sea-gulls" Natsume,adressing Koko and then the rest. Their comments had made him irritated for they made him realize that he had been a bad boyfriend. The reason why he even left Mikan alone was to let her concentrate. Maybe,he should have just visited her last week.
"Well,we better get back ! Lotsa studying to do! "Anna said getting up. Nonoko followed her."Natsume,we're sure Mikan misses you just as much!" And they both left for their rooms. Hotaru was glad to see that she had left her Baked-Angel Cake behind.
"I'm going to hit the books too. Later guys!" Mochu fist bumped Natsume and patted his back(as a sign of reassurance for the whole Mikan thing) before he left.
"Me too! Study hard all!Natsume,all the best with Mikan!" Yuu chimed in and left.
Only Koko,Sumire,Ruka,Hotaru and Natsume remained.
"Mikans been studying to answer your question, " Hotaru said.
"Poor Sakura. She must be quite nervous"
"Oh definitely"
"I'm sure she is. We all know Math is her weak point. Speaking of math,I need to go too.I've gotta brush up my Algebra!" Sumire glanced at Koko before leaving,signalling him to follow.
"Aaah,wait Permy,I'm coming too! Ciao ya'll!Natsume,dude..Hang in there!"He raised his palm for a high-5 from Natsume but it was , the mind reader left the three to catch up with his girlfriend.
Hotaru poured herself some more Snapple and surprisingly offered it to Ruka who gladly accepted. Natsume on the other hand was thinking hard.
"I think I'll go pay Polka a visit." He finally said. Ruka happily nodded.
"Took you long enough. Mikan,I hate to admit, needs you." Hotaru told Natsume."She could use some sort of distraction,even if you come in that form."
Natsume narrowed his crimson eyes at Hotaru. Was she complimenting or insulting him?
"Yeah go for it Natsume! Sakura must be so stressed. Seeing you will make her happy! You could help her with Math too!" Ruka suggested.
"I'm leaving." Natsume got up from their table. Ruka patted his back and he acknowledged it with a nod. He was about to leave the dining hall when Hotaru shouted;
"Hyuuga. Catch".He turned back to her and Ruka and in surprise caught a 'Paranormal Activity' DVD which she had thrown at him. What the..?
"Thank me later."Hotaru told him.
Having understood Hotaru's motive he smirked and made his way to Mikan's special star room.This will be one hell of an evening,he thought.
Back at the dining hall,Ruka was a bit puzzled"Imai,why'd you give Natsume a horror DVD? I know you plan on making him watch that with Mikan and we all know that she hates horrors!"
"You'll see." She smiled while finishing off the last of Anna's cake.
