"I guess you can't sleep because he's still in your mind and heart. You just don't kow," he said to break the silence.
Mikan smirked, "What are you saying? I let go along time ago," she said as she looked at the stars in the sky.
"You did? It doesn't look like you did. Your eyes speaks the truth. And I guess Hotaru might see it," he replied.
"I don't know, maybe," she sighed. "Well I better go then, I have things to do tomorrow and I need a lot of energy. Good night."
"Mikan, just think of what I said. Okay?" he said as he smiled.
"Okay," she said as she walked back.
What the hell did they talked about? Natsume thought from up the tree.
"You can go down now," Tsubasa said as he smirked knowing that Natsume was there eavesdropping.
Natsume smirked, "You caught me." he jumped down and stood up glaring at the person he was talking to.
"I guess Mikan didn't realize you were there," Tsubasa replied.
Then with his right hand, a fire ball came out, "What were you talking about just a moment ago?"
"Why do you care? You don't like her or something right? So stay out our business," Tsubasa said as he walked away from the raven-haired boy. "You're lucky you got away this time," Natsume said.
The next day, MIkan woke up feeling good. I guess today will a be a great day. She prepared for the day and when she reached the bus stop she saw everybody there except for Ruka. "Hey. Why isn't Ruka here yet?" she said. "Oh. Hi Mikan," Anna and Nonoko greeted. "Ruka will be late for a few minutes," Hotaru said. "Okay," MIkan replied.
They all chatted for quite a bit until a blonde approached them," Hi. Sorry were late?" Ruka said as Natsume showed up to his friends.
"Ruka invited me. he kept insisting," Natsume said. "Great, now were all complete. Let's go," Yuu said. Then Natsume's gaze went to Mikan. she's here! He thought and Koko read his mind. When Natsume noticed this he gave him a tell-everyone-and-you're-dead-look.
"Okay. Just calm down Natsume," Koko replied. Then he looked at Mikan, Great he's here. Really great. I thought this day will be fun…
"Don't try to read my mind Koko. I nullified your alice," she said. "You caught me. but be careful, I might catch you off guard," he replied.
They all looked at them and completely understood what their friends were talking about. "Hey, c'mon. when we get there let's have lunch and enjoy the fun," Hotaru said.
When they got there, the girls lead them to the restaurant they will eat, sat down and ordered their food. Anna sat facing Yuu, Nonoko facing Koko, Hotaru opposite of Ruka and Mikan opposite of Natsume.
The food came and they ate happily, "Hey guys, why did you invite us anyway?" Anna asked. "Well, today is our first year anniversary. We just want to celebrate with you guys," Ruka said. "So that's why you kept insisting huh?" Koko said. "Yep," Hotaru said.
All throughout the time that they were eating, Natsume and the others kept talking while Mikan ate quietly and stared outside the window. Natsume and Hotaru noticed this.
"Hey Mikan. Are you alright?" Hotaru said as Natsume glanced at her. "Huh? I mean yes. I'm fine. Something caught my attention that's all," the brunette replied.
She's really not good at lying… Hotaru and Natsume thought.
After finish eating, they all went outside and the girls went to all the rides leaving the boys watching them. the three looked really happy watching their girlfriends but Natsume was in deep thought. What's wrong with her? She bare talked while eating. What's wrong? Wait, I'm not supposed to be worried. I don't love her anymore.
"Hey, Natsume, everything okay? You seemed to be preoccupied with things?" Ruka said. "Yep," Koko and Yuu added.
"I'm alright. Its no big deal. don't mind me. and don't read my mind Koko," Natsume said.
They all laughed and Natsume's thoughts were taken away.
It was almost dusk when they arrived back at the academy. They all bid their goodbyes and thank you's to each other. The three couples went ahead leaving Mikan and Natsume all alone.
Great, they all left me with him. But somehow, I feel good around him but I should get going. She thought as she walked passed by him.
Wait, why is she leaving… he thought as he caught her wrist. "Is something wrong Natsume?" she asked.
"…." Was his answer. "We'll if you have nothing to say, I better go now. Goodnight Natsume," Mikan said coldly.
He let go of her and watched her go away leaving him alone by the dormitory's front door. What has gotten into me?
"That was pretty close. What's wrong with him anyway? Never mind," Mikan told herself. When she entered her room and changed her clothes, she saw a letter on her desk.
Where did this came from? She thought as she opened the letter.
