Chapter 2 Feelings
"Mikan!" A harsh whisper woke me from my daze.
I blinked. "What?"
"Do you know our new teacher? Your face was so pale when he came. I thought you were going to faint." Nonoko frowned at me with concerned looks in her eyes.
Oops. Looks like my secrets are out before I could protect it.
"I…. ah, it's nothing. He.. just reminds me of someone I know from my family.. ummm.. who passed away." I quickly came out with a super lame excuse.
Hotaru lifted one of her delicate eyebrows at me, and I just shrugged. I couldn't came up with another reason in such a short time.
Anna's mouth shaped into a perfect 'O' as soon as she heard my reasoning.
"Maybe he is your relative's reincarnation!" She exclaimed, nearly jumped from her seat in excitement.
I rolled my eyes at Anna's statement. Hotaru said I'm idiotic, but I think there is someone who is more idiotic than I am.
"Anna, that is the most illogical statement you have ever sprout out." Nonoko commented sarcastically while crossing her arms in front of her chest.
Anna pouted cutely. "Nonoko, don't be so mean to your own sister."
"Well, I just point out the obvious thing. You guys agree with me right?" Nonoko look at me and Hotaru.
I just smiled, not answering Nonoko's question although I am totally agree with her, while Hotaru just mumbled out, "Idiot" before turning her eyes back to the front.
"See, what…"
Nonoko's words were cut off short, when the husky voice which I knew so well boomed throughout the classroom once again.
"Alright class, I am your new calculus teacher. My name is Natsume Hyuuga, please call me Hyuuga-sensei. I hope that this class will be able to cooperate well, like the class from before. Any question before we start the lesson?"
Almost every girl's hand in the class was raised up with eager looks or obviously blushing faces.
"I only answer questions related to class, not outside of it." Our teacher said again, and quickly, the girls' hands disappeared, their faces showing disappointed looks.
"No questions? Let's start our lesson then."
Hyuuga-sensei is a good teacher.
Well, I have known it since high school days anyway. He teaches through and clear, and in average pace that even slow thinking students like me could understand the lesson with minimum difficulty. There has never been a student that couldn't understand the lesson if he was the one who taught it. But, the problem now is that I couldn't concentrate for goodness sake!
It's all because his eyes, his voice, his presence, everything! Everything about him is disturbing me. I tried to concentrate on the lesson, but every five seconds, my mind would fly away to our past happy memories.
"Ms. Mikan Sakura."
I jolted on my seat as his voice called my name. I looked up and willed myself not to stutter, but I failed miserably anyway. "Y-yes, s-sensei?"
"Could you please answer the question on the whiteboard?" His ruby eyes boring into mine.
I looked at the white board which was now full of his elegant writing.
"Which one, sensei?" I asked slowly, trying to cover my nervousness.
"This one." He pointed at an equation on the right side of the board.
I stared at it for a while, before finally remembering that he has taught me about this before. I took out my calculator and pressed some buttons.
"It's 3,753." I answered.
"Good answer. But next time if you want to day dream, you better stay in your room, not in my class."
I glared at him as menacingly as I could, but he just rolled his eyes and started teaching again.
"Pst. Mikan." A whisper came from my right side.
I looked at Nonoko with questioning eyes.
"Are you sure you don't know him?"
I nodded. "Yes. I'm sure."
"But.. how come he knows your name although he hasn't taken our absence yet?"
"I don't know." I shrugged as if I didn't care, but deep down I'm afraid that the secret will leak.
"It's impossible." Nonoko mumbled, eyeing me with calculating look of hers.
"What's impossible, Ms. Nonoko Ogasawara?"
Nonoko literally jumped on her seat and gave a wide eyed look towards our lovely teacher. "I-It's n-nothing, Hyuuga-sensei." She stuttered, trying to get away from his piercing red eyes.
"You didn't answer my question." He countered, still placing a hard stare on my best friend cowering figure.
"I-It's impossible that Mikan could answer the question, Sir." She blurted out.
What! How dare she use that kind of excuse to get away!
Hyuuga-sensei smirked. "Well, I bet that she has grown some brain during her last year in high school."
Aghh. I'm so going to kill this guy! He is soo dead! How dare he say that!
"Insulting a student will do you no good, Hyuuga-sensei." Came a cold and monotone voice from my side.
My teacher shifted his gaze to stare at my purple eyed best friend.
"Nice to see you again, Miss Imai. Try not to disrespect a teacher, alright?" He retorted back, deadpanned.
I could feel the tension in the air between the two supposed emotionless people.
:Then you should learn how to treat a girl properly before becoming a grown up man." Hotaru shot back with venom in her voice.
I know that Hotaru's argument is kinda off, but I'm happy nonetheless that she stood up for me.
A frown etched on the handsome face of my teacher, he glared at Hotaru and said, "What's done is done. The past is in the past."
Stupid guy.
"But now is determined by the past, sensei."
My heart was throbbing with pain when I heard what he said. So, what's done is done huh? So much for me loving him all this time. Hotaru is right, Natsume Hyuuga is nothing but a cold hearted bastard.
"Let's go back to the topic." Hyuuga-sensei said, dismissing what Hotaru has said.
"Thank you , Hotaru." I whispered to her. "I nearly exploded just now."
"Baka." Hotaru muttered. "Don't you dare to shed another tear for a jerk like him."
"I won't. He is a total bastard."
"By the way, pay up."
I looked at her, shocked. "What?"
"I have defended you and gave you an advice. It cost my energy you know."
"I thought you were finally going to be kind to me for once!" I cried. Really, I often wonder why I chose a best friend like her, a money oriented queen.
"1.500 rabbits, and 200 rabbits for hearing your whining."
I pouted. "That's not nice, Hotaru. I'm your best friend!"
"Plus 50 rabbits for seeing your ugly pout. And who said that you are my best friend? You are just a friend with benefit." She said coolly.
"You are so mean." I nearly shouted if only I didn't feel the teacher's glare for talking in his class.
"Stop whining, baka, or I will shoot you." Hotaru glared at me while holding up her baka gun.
I sighed and gave her 1.600 rabbits from my purse. Looks like I will be starving for another 3 days. Why did I befriend this blackmailing queen? Oh, right. Because I don't like to see her alone. Tsk.
"Glad having business with you, Mikan." She smirked and put away her money.
I rolled my eyes and concentrate back to the white board which already full again by many new equations.
I think I'm going to skip this class for next week or.. maybe I could change class! What a tempting idea. I am so going to administration office after this.
After what feels like ages – to me – the time finally up. Hooray!
"Okay, that's the last part for today. You may go. Good morning." Hyuuga-sensei said in his husky voice, making several girls fainted with hearts in their eyes.
I quickly stood up, took my bag and literally run out of the suffocating class, making my way to the administration office. Faintly, I could feel Nonoko and Anna running behind me while shouting my name.
"Oh my gosh. You ran so fast Mikan-chan." Anna huffed, wiping her glistening forehead, as soon as she caught me up.
"Where are you going, Mikan?" asked Nonoko after calming her ragged breath.
"Administration office." I answered shortly, grabbing the door handle and open it.
"Why? Are you going to pay college fees?" Anna looked curiously.
"Nah. Just want to change my class."
Anna frowned. "Which class?"
"You'll see." I replied as I stepped into the administration office.
"Good morning, Ms. Sakura. Can I help you?" A nice looking lady asked with smile on her face.
"I want to change my calculus class. Is there any available space with other teacher?"
"Are you with Hyuuga-sensei?"
I nodded. "Yes, I am."
"Thank goodness you choose to move. Many girls threatened me for not giving place in his class because it already full." She smiled gratefully at me.
Stupid girls. Don't they see that he is a playboy jerk?
"So, there is still available space?"
"Yes, of course. I have moved you to Misaki-sensei's class on Friday at 10 o'clock."
"Thank you." I smiled and bowed at her. After that, I strode outside the office with happy smile plastered on my face.
As soon as the office's door close, Anna grab my hand and ask, "Why did you move, Mikan?" She sounded serious and concern latched on her voice.
I sighed and close my eyes. "Let's just say that I hate Hyuuga-sensei to his guts."
