Chapter 3: Perfect shot

"Sakura-san." Someone called Mikan from her desk. "Hmm." Mikan mumbled to herself as if she didn't want to be disturbed. That 'someone' became really impatient and decided to shout. "MIKAN SAKURA! WAKE UP!" Mikan suddenly jumped from her seat and blink several times trying to figure out what had happened. "Something's wrong?" She asked while rubbing her eyes. A vein popped out on that someone's head and said "SAKURA! DETENTION!" "Eh?! What did I do?" Mikan whined at her teacher which was, Jinno-sensei.

It was already dismissal time, and Mikan needs to go again to Detention Room. "Mou, What did I do?" Mikan asked her two best friends. "It's because you're sleeping in Math class awhile ago, Baka." Hotaru said. "Is that so?" Mikan replied. "Yes Mikan and I thought you want to beat your brother in Math?" Koko said while smiling. "Yes, I want to beat him but I can't help it! I'm always sleepy when it comes to Math class and Jinno-sensei is such a boring teacher!" Mikan whined. "Now, shut up and go to Detention Room." Hotaru said. "Mean!" Mikan replied and continued "Bye Koko! See you!" The two just looked at Mikan's disappearing figure.
Hotaru stood up from the bench and started to walk. "Hey Hotaru! Shouldn't we wait for Mikan? It's getting cloudy, it seems that it's going to rain and I have the umbrella of Mikan here." Koko said. Hotaru didn't reply at first, she saw one of Campus` most popular male students, Ruka Nogi with her best friend Natsume Hyuuga , the Campus` heartthrob. "I have an idea." Hotaru said as Koko blinked.

"Natsume! Let's go to pet shop today!" Ruka said happily. "I don't want to." Natsume replied. "Oh come on! You're such a kill joy! Don't be like that." Ruka said as he pout. "Don't do that pouting of yours, it looks disgusting." Natsume said as he rolled his eyes. "You're such a mean best friend." Ruka cried. Natsume just ignored it and thought 'I can't believe you're my best friend.'
"Hyuuga." Someone called behind them. Natsume looked who was it and found out that it was one of Campus' most popular female students, Hotaru Imai together with one of the Campus` most popular male students, Kokoro Yome. "Oh! Hello Imai-san and Yome-kun!" Ruka greeted happily. Hotaru ignored it while Koko greeted back. "What do you want Imai?" Natsume asked. "I want you to wait for Mikan from the detention room, me and Koko is too busy to wait for her. We need to go somewhere." Hotaru said and continued "Oh, here's the umbrella. The weather is bad. You need it, it's Mikan's umbrella anyway." She handed it to Natsume. Before he can complain, Hotaru dragged Ruka and Koko away from him already. 'Damn.' Natsume thought.

"Now where are my two best friends?" Mikan asked to herself. She proceeded to the bench where they were seated awhile ago and was surprised to see that there's a boy sitting there. Mikan decided to ask that boy. "Excuse me? Can I ask if you see Hotaru Imai and Kokoro Yome?" The boy lifted up his head and made eye to eye contact to Mikan. "Oh? It's you Natsume! Have you seen them?" She asked. "Yes." Natsume replied. "Where are they?" Mikan asked once again. "They went home already." He replied again. "They didn't wait for me! How rude!" She whined. "Shut up. Your freak bestfriend asked me to wait for you here and to give this stupid umbrella of yours." He said. "Really?! Thank you Natsume!" Mikan said as she smiled.
The rain started to pour; Mikan opened her umbrella and covered herself from it. She also noticed that Natsume doesn't have jacket or umbrella with him. "Hey Natsume! We can share with my umbrella first until we reach the parking area. You'll get soak; the parking is too far from here in the Middle School division building." Mikan said. "No need." Natsume hesitated. "Don't be shy!" Mikan said as she grabbed Natsume's arm to her side. "There! Much better." She said and they started to walk together going to the Parking area of the campus. Natsume couldn't help but blush at this moment, he was too close and almost touching the skin of Mikan's arm. He wasn't used of this closeness.

"Perfect shot." Hotaru said. "Eh? What are you doing Imai-san?" Ruka asked as he blinked. "What else? Taking pictures of Mikan and Hyuuga." Koko answered for her. "What will Imai-san do to it?" Ruka asked again. "She's going to sell it to their fans." Koko answered. "Oh." Ruka replied.
-x-
"Thank you Natsume." Mikan said as she smiled. Natsume blushed once again and thought 'It was supposed to be my line.' The two of them entered their own cars and drove off to their respective homes.

Mikan reached their home and proceeded to her room quickly ignoring the tease of his brother, Youichi. She picked the telephone and dialed Hotaru's number.
"Hello." Hotaru answered.
"Hotaru! You and Koko didn't wait for me! You're so mean!"
"We're busy that's why."
"Humph!"
"Why did you call anyway?"
"I just want to thanks for sending Natsume." Mikan giggled.
"Oh. I see."
"Hey! Hotaru! Let's go shopping tomorrow."
"Okay."
"I was wondering if you could invite Ruka-kun and Natsume."
"No prob."
"Thanks. Oh! Don't forget Koko."
"Okay."
"Bye bye!"
"Bye."
Mikan hung up the phone and changed her clothes. Her brother had called her already for it's dinner time already. They were now in the table and their dinner is a western food, not Japanese one. "Mom, Dad, Me and my friends will go shopping tomorrow." Mikan said while munching her food. "Oh, it's great then Mikan, I'll just give you money tomorrow." Her mom said while smiling. "Shopping? Or you have a date Mikan?" Her dad asked suspiciously. "No dad! It's not a date; I'm with Koko, Hotaru, Ruka-kun and Natsume." Mikan said. "Who's this Ruka-kun and Natsume, Mikan?" Her mom asked. "Ruka Nogi, one of Campus` most popular male students." Youichi said. "Like Koko-kun eh?" Her dad said while nodding. "And Natsume Hyuuga, the Campus` heartthrob." Youichi finished. "Oh! Then he's your partner then Mikan?" Her mom asked. "Yes mom." Mikan replied.

"This day was so tiring." Mikan said to herself as closed her eyes. 'I'm excited for tomorrow.' She thought before going to dreamland.
