Here's another fiction I wrote during my spare time.
Redemption
You just don't get it do you? You're selfish, arrogant, conceited! I don't know what part of you that actually is attractive!
You stood me up for the last time! And here I found you messing around with girls! Just what am I to you? I'm still your personal slave aren't I? It's over!

"Ugh…that same dream again," I whined and rubbed my eyes as I got up from bed. I saw Ruka still sleeping in his bed. "Oi, wake up. Classes are starting soon," I shook Ruka lightly and he got up.
"Oh, sorry Natsume. I got back into the dorm late last night," Ruka sighed and ruffled his hair.
"Out with Hotaru Imai again?" I asked and smirked when I saw him blush.
"No…it wasn't her last night. An old friend invited me for dinner and we went karaoke and lost track of time. She sent me back to the dorm with her car," Ruka said.
"Ah, a she," I chuckled when Ruka's face turned redder. "Relax! Teasing you is common every morning remember, come on. First class is Narumi," I said and took a shower while I heard Ruka calling someone on his phone.
I got out from the shower and saw him still talking on the phone. "It wasn't that my voice is horrible! I just had a sore throat last night! Hahaha, alright, I'll talk to you later Mi-chan," Ruka hung up.
Mi-chan…The name rang a bell, a name that I tried so hard to forget. "Ah, I left some hot water for you," I said.
"Thanks Natsume," Ruka thanked and rushed into the shower. I was curious so I got to his phone and checked the last number he called. Mikan S. I read. So I guess it really is her.
I wore my uniform and placed the ruby earring on my left ear. You see this earring, Natsume? One is for me and this other one is for you! I'm not sure if you like couple bracelets or rings so I thought an earring would be appropriate instead. Her smiling face when she gives me presents and when she receives them, that expression is not something you can actually imagine on her.
"Oh, you're done, Natsume. I'll be done in a few minutes," Ruka said while drying his hair with a towel. I nodded and walked outside of the room. I saw other boys coming out to get to class. Kitsuneme and Koko got out with bags placed over their shoulders.
Koko looked back and saw me standing outside alone. "Oh, Natsume. Aren't you coming to class?" Koko asked stopping his pace along with Kitsuneme next to him.
"You guys go on ahead, Ruka's changing," I said.
"What are you? A girl? What's the problem with guys changing clothes in front of each other? We already know how we look like," Kitsuneme said and Koko chuckled.
"Tell that to Ruka then," I smirked and they waved and left.
"Who was that?" Ruka asked as he got out from the room.
"Oh, just Kitsuneme and Koko," I said. "Are we going?" I asked.
"Yeah," Ruka replied and we walked to the main building.

"Alright class, as all of you may know, the class trip this year would be to Hokkaido," Narumi said in a sing-song voice which disgusted most of the students. "Since the School Board thought it might be boring for the most of you, we've decided to make a joint-trip along with our sister-school Alice Girls High."
"Eyh!" All the boys screamed in enthusiasm. Some high fived and some hugged each other.
"Even as we all know it that the rules clearly states that you boys aren't allowed to have any relationship but in the future you need to at least have the skill to have a partner in your life. Take this chance as a test to use your opportunity among those girls," Narumi continued.
"Finally! It's a two weeks trip! We can finally have a girlfriend!" Mochu shouted and Koko agreed.
"Wahoo!" All the boys started jumping with glee.
"Wow, great, I can now hang out with Mi-chan and Hotaru for two weeks," I saw Ruka daydream by the window when the school Narumi mentioned was Ruka's girlfriend's school.

"As you see girls, we are now having a joint-trip with our sister-school Alice Boys High. We must not be rash on finding our soul mates," Mikan shouted out as the Student Council President.
"Hey, President! Do you know any skills on seducing boys?" A girl's hand shot up asking.
"Well girls…" Mikan started with raised eyebrows. "Do you really want to know?" Mikan asked.
"YES!" All the girls screamed.

"So Natsume, we're beggin' you! Please don't hog all the girls to yourself!" The boys pled and kneel before me. I find it hard to believe that they are boys.
"Now, now, what makes you think I'm giving up my any of prizes to you people? Do you think you deserve them?" I smirked.
"That's what he says but actually he got dumped by the woman of his dreams just last year," I saw Reo talking to his bunch.
"What? The Natsume Hyuuga got dumped by a girl? She must be a weird girl," A boy said. I rushed up to him and clutched his shoulders.
"What did you say? How dare you call her weird!?" I shouted straight to his face.
"Look, look I'm sorry! I didn't mean that," The boy stuttered and I dropped him and left the classroom. I shut the door and sat down in front of it.
Great! As hard as I try to forget her, every incident that pops up, she has to be included. I cried in my head and buried my head in between my legs.
"Hey! Don't push it, guys. As tough as Natsume may look, he's really not all that strong," I heard Ruka talking behind the door.
"So you know the girl, Ruka?" I heard Mochu's voice asked.
"Yeah, she's the best friend of my girl," Ruka said. "That's beside the point. Natsume really liked that girl, so it'd be nice if you don't push him to the limit," Ruka said.
"I'll take that challenge," Reo's voice said all high and mighty. "I mean, she's got taste when she dumped Hyuuga," Reo said and some guys high fived him.
"Reo! You don't want to challenge Natsume," Ruka said defensively.
"Now why not, Nogi? Think if I get Natsume's girl, I'll steal yours too?" Reo chuckled. Then the other door slammed open and I only manage to catch a glimpse of a skirt.
"Mi-chan?!" Ruka shouted out and my eyes widen.
"Woah! Who's the babe?!"
"She's gorgeous!"
"Hey sweetie," Koko joked.
"Ruka, where's your Student Council room?" Mikan asked. I stood up and entered the room to actually see her face. A face I haven't seen for almost a year.
"Mikan," I said slowly and her glance fixed on my eyes.
"Natsume," She said.
"You know Natsume?" Reo asked and Mikan just turned around and stomped out of the class.
My eyes widen again. She's walked out on me once! I can't let her do that again! "Wait! Mikan!" I jumped over tables and chairs and rushed out of the door to catch her.
"No," Ruka shouted and rushed behind me. "Natsume! I suggest you stop chasing her!" Ruka shouted as he continued to grab me.
"I'm not letting my second chance go that easily!" I shouted and saw her run out to the roadside. She knows I can't be caught outside of the school gates. I thought while I saw her just a few meters away from me. All I had to do was run and catch her! All I needed to do was apologize. The wind blew across from us and saw her hair danced with it.
"You're the president," Mikan suddenly shouted at me and I stopped my pace. I saw her took baby steps towards me. "We need to talk," She said.
"You're right! We do, look-,"
"Not that talk, Hyuuga," She said and called my name formally. "I want us to talk about the school trip," She said and now she's standing just opposite to me.
"Oh, but!" I started.
"Don't say anything, Hyuuga!" She shouted and suddenly shut her mouth with her hands. Her bangs covered her eyes and she fell her hands to her sides. "Our relationship has been over for a year, I've moved on," She continued.
"Who?!" I demanded.
"You don't need to step into my life, Hyuuga. We are mere humans now," Mikan said.
"You can't deny the fact that we made memories before," I started.
"I'd rather forget about it," She said with her head held up high. "Now, I'd like for us to arrange a time for my council and yours to have a meeting regarding the trip," She said and gave me a file.
"We're free tomorrow afternoon at three. I guess we can discuss by then," I said following her formality.
"Good, we'll meet you tomorrow at three at your Council Room," Mikan said and left. There she goes, my second and final chance to redeem myself. She walks out just like that.
"So what happened, Hyuuga?" Reo mocked. "You got dumped the twice now?" Reo laughed horribly along with his bunch.
"Yeah," I said slowly and he stopped laughing and stared at me.
"He's got it bad," Koko said.
"Why wouldn't he? That's the same girl that dumped him last year," Ruka said.
"Oh," Everyone said and I feel their sympathy in that word. I don't need sympathy! I thought and just lie down on my table.
How's that first chapter? Hope you'll like it.
