RINGING BELLS

Disclaimer : I don't own anything. And I will probably NEVER own it, ever~

This will be written in Mikan's POV.

I was walking into my classroom. Still sitting on the same spot, beside me was an empty seat. The seat belongs to..to him. I held back her tears. On her right, I heard some discussion for the gossip girls.

"Did you hear? He's coming back."a girl said.

"Who's he?" another girl asked.

"Natsume Hyuu-" then the girl turned towards me and quickly start another topic.

So he's coming back? After 2 years? I..I can't face him. What should I do? At the same time, Mr Narumi came into the class.

"Good morning students. There'll be a new student and an old student coming to this class!" everyone clapped their hands except me.

"Come in, guys." He talked towards the door and through the door...was..him.. and another girl. She was really beautiful. That's probably his fiancée.

"Natsume Hyuuga, everyone should know him. And Yui Hizawaki. They are together and sweetly happy. Treat them nicely. And now for your seats. Natsume, you can have back your old seat and Yui, you can sit at-" I stood up and cut off Mr Narumi.

"Narumi sensei, let them sit together. I can sit beside Nobara" I walked towards her new seat. The entire time, I was there, he never turned to look into my eyes. Not that I want that to happen. But I really hope that he remembers about our relationship before this. But it's better if it remains a secret.

Natsume and Yui both sat at my previous seat. Mr Narumi went out of the classroom and the whole class was in chaos again. I got up my seat and went out. Hotaru caught up with me, "You're sad." It was a statement. I just nodded.

"I can't do anything to change the past." Mikan said. "I want to go somewhere. Please don't follow me, Hotaru" I motioned her to go back to the classroom.

I sat under the cherry blossom tree. Smelling the cool air. When she heard footsteps, I opened her eyes to find that he was standing in front of me.

"You're still angry? After....2 years?" Natsume asked me. His voice..had then acid tone in it. The voice of when, I first met him. The arrogant tone. Not the sweet tone he had for me..when we got together.

"..." I couldn't reply him. I didn't want to say yes and didn't want to lie either.

"He squat down and stared into my eyes. He took my hands which I tried to pull away but failed. "I'm sorry if I really hurt you. I'm hurt myself. I love you yet I-" a slap was given by me. I couldn't stand it when he said that he loves me but he's with another woman.

"How can you say that, when you're with Yui? Aren't you afraid that she would tell your father?" I spat.

"I.."he was dumbfounded.

"You don't have to say anything. Just leave me alone. Please. That's all I want. You even promised me that." I told him sternly.

"We can always..be in love..secretly." Natsume said. I was shocked to hear that. But I know that's an insane request. I couldn't.

"Are you insane?" She faked a laugh. "That's the last thing I would do. Since you're not leaving, I'll leave then." Mikan said and quickly got up and ran. Her hand got caught my Natsume and he dragged her down to him and hugged her back.

"Don't leave me. I'm lonely." Natsume told her.

I couldn't stand it anymore. My tears spilled and I turned to face him. Holding his face between both my palms and pulled him closer to me. Our lips met and they kissed each other tenderly. How much I missed his kiss? A lot. That's the answer. I really love him.

Someone at the back of us gasp. We stopped kissing and turned to my back and saw Yui standing there with her hands over her mouth.
