CHAPTER 2

A gush of wind swept Mikan's brown hair as she walked back to the school building. She spent the whole weekend thinking about how the topic with Narumi-Sensei intrigued her. In fact, because of thinking too much, she dreamed about being laughed at by her classmates because of being the only virgin in their school. Oh, how it made her worry. She could still picture the faces of her classmates laughing hysterically. "What if it's true? What if I'm the only virgin in class? Or worse…The only virgin of the whole Academy! I'd go nuts…" she thought. Just the thought of it made her feel an aching pain in her stomach. But she was suddenly distracted by footsteps running behind her… She looked back wondering what or who it was. Then a cold hand held her arm tightly. She was shocked and looked to see who it was…

"Hotaru you scared me back there!" Mikan nudged her arm.

"Hey…You look a little different." Hotaru scrutinized Mikan's face intently. "You look… pale. Are you okay?"

"Nah. Just didn't get enough sleep."

"Wait don't tell me! You've been thinking about…yesterday weren't you?"

"Shut up."

"So you were!" Hotaru began to laugh in amusement. "Oh come on Sakura! It's not like you'll die if anyone knows you're still not being touched. Wake up and smell the air… In fact your lucky because you're a single untouched virgin." Hotaru tried to suppress a smile. Mikan looked at her still not convinced. "Your just saying that to make me feel happy about myself. But it's not like that in our town Hotaru! This is Japan!"

Hotaru smirked. There was a sense of ruefulness in her eyes. "Your sick Sakura…Your just sick! Don't tell me your just gonna go in there and tell a guy, 'Hey! I want you to touch me.' It's not like someone'll just volunteer to be your machine!"

"What if there will be?" Mikan raised her right brow.

"What are you trying to say?"

"I'm gonna do it." Mikan laughed.

"NANI?...Are you crazy BAKA?" Mikan could only look at Hotaru's widened purple orbs.

Mikan just fell silent. Hotaru just shook her head. Not long until they reached their room where an air of business filled it. "What's all the ruckus?" Hotaru asked irritated. "Oh there she is! The little virgin kid!" a guy with gray hair, laughed hysterically together with the guys and girls huddled together in one table. "If it isn't it virgin kid..." another guy yelled in the classroom. Until almost all of the class yelled along, taunting and teasing Mikan who's soul was burning with rage and despair. She wanted to yell but she couldn't. "Hey! Shut the hell up!" Hotaru bawled, but no one seemed to listen to her. Until Natsume walked in front and everybody began to stare at him as he began to walk beside Mikan. "Welcome back virgin pants…" then he smirked. Mikan was full of anger and couldn't control herself. She knew Natsume was the one behind all this. She began to punch Natsume hardly on the face.

Before Mikan could say anything, the door flew open and came in Narumi-Sensei. Mikan had an urge to cry. But she forced back her tears and walked slowly to her seat. "Agh…" Natsume rubbed the punched cheek in pain and also walked back to his seat. He glared at Mikan who smirked back at him. "Okay class, since your all settled, I have very great news to announce." Narumi cleared his throat. "The rest of the day is free due to the Teacher's seminar service this morning until dismissal time. So I'm gonna have to dismiss you all even though I think this isn't the proper time…and- Narumi was suddenly cut by the screaming students and so they filed out of the room in an instant.

"*sighs*… so much for being the Special class' head teacher." He could only shake his head.

(OUTSIDE THE BUILDING)

"You wont believe what I have discovered!" Hotaru looked very ecstatic to tell Mikan of what she knew. "What? Another rumor of a lost virginity?" Mikan rolled her eyes irritatingly biting the apple she had in her hand.

"No! It's about Hyuuga!"

"What about that ape-baboon?"

"You can finally have your revenge on him…"

"What do you mean?"

"Ugh!" Hotaru squatted beside Mikan and whispered in her ear.

"HE'S WHAT?"
