CHAPTER THREE- BAD DAY
KRING! KRING!
I woke up with a start. Okay. What just happen? Oh yeah…I didn't get enough sleep because I was thinking overnight what just happen to me yesterday at the wedding reception.
It was not because I was contemplating on my singing. It was beautiful! But…I was thinking all night why Natsume was angry at me…
Ugh…what did I just do?? Hmm…maybe I really have offended Natsume. I mean, Natsume is also a great dancer and when I told him that 'not again' maybe he was offended and got angry at me. Maybe. That's why he said those stuff…
"Mikan…come down to eat your breakfast already honey!" my mom called from the kitchen. Well, I guess I really have to go to school now and apologize about the things that offended him.
"Yes mom." I said then hurriedly went to take a bath then change into my school uniform. I then went to the kitchen where breakfast was served.
"Gee…mom thanks! I like this!" I cried as I saw that the food was sushi and a fried egg. I really like that stuff.
"Yeah. I just think that you should enjoy eating your favorite dish today honey since I think that you haven't got any sleep. What were you thinking?" Mom asked. She really is a nice mother.
"It's nothing mom." I said. I don't want to worry her about my problems.
"It's about Natsume right?" she asked.
"Ack! How'd you know?" I asked confused.
"Mikan, Natsume went to the table very angry and I think that you and Natsume have a fight yesterday. Am I right?" she asked.
"Yeah…like that. I think that I must have offended him while we were dancing. I'm going to apologize to him today…" I said smiling. My mom smiled and I continue to eat my breakfast. I then went to get my usual stuff like my bag and guitar and went to school.
When I arrive at school it was to find one of the most bizarre things that happen. Everyone was reading a newspaper and it seems that when I pass to them they were talking at my back. Weird. What happen?
Some were smirking as I pass by them. What exactly is happening right now? Is there something in me today? Argh…I don't get it! Some girls even gave me deathly glares. Whoa! Did I just do something wrong?
Just then, Natsume's limousine arrives and fan girls were crowding at it already. Okay…this is my chance to tell him I'm sorry about what happen yesterday. When Natsume went out of the limousine, fan girls as usual were screaming.
"NATSUME-SAMAAA!!"
"NATSUME!!"
Uh…fan girls; they are really soo…irritating. I then saw Natsume came towards me. Is he not angry with me? Or is he just pretending that nothing happened yesterday.
"Hey strawberries…or I think…its Polka-dots today." He said with a smirk. Grr…he really wants to ruin my day! But anyway got to apologize…
"Ano…Natsume?" I asked.
"Hm?" he replied.
"Ano…I'm really sorry about what happen yesterday." I said apologetically.
"…"
"It's just that…I didn't know that you might be offended by what I say…" I said.
"…so you realize now that you have offended me by what you say?"
"Yes! I didn't know that you will be offended by the way you dance yesterday!" I said and I then saw a vein propping out of his face.
"Are you really an idiot?" he said.
"What?! What do you mean by idiot? You were offended right because you stomp my feet two times already and you are such a great dancer." I said. What does he mean by I'm an idiot?
"Are you that dense??" he asked getting irritated.
"Dense?! Why would I be dense?! I'm right about you being offended because you stomp my feet two times!" I cried. I still don't get it why he's like that.
"Idiot." He said and with that he left me alone again. What the hell! I'm apologizing right here and you just called me dense and idiot? Jerk! I was really so angry at him…what's wrong with him?
I then went to the classroom looking haughty. When I open the door Anna and Nonoko came to me holding what looks like today's newspaper.
"Is it true?" Anna asked excitedly.
"What?" I asked confused. Why is it that they were so excited?
"You know about today's news! It's in everywhere!!" Nonoko cried.
"What? What news?" I asked utterly confused now.
"Here. Read it!" Anna said handing the newspaper to me and what I saw really make my eyes bulge. There was a picture of me and Natsume that where happily singing in the wedding and another picture of the two of us dancing. Where in the world did they get this stuff??
Natsume Hyuuga, owner of the Flames Music Production was seen singing and dancing with Mikan Sakura, we believe one of the closest friends of Natsume Hyuuga. They were seen singing together at a wedding reception of Mr. Takashi, owner of the Takashi Fashion Company who was recently wed yesterday morning to Ms. Asami Yamada.
After they were singing, they were the first couple to dance instead of the newly-weds. They were seen dancing passionately and happily. Could this be Natsume's lover already? Seeing that no other girls like this were given the privilege to sing and dance with him. This could be the start of a new love story!
After I finish reading it, I feel disgusted. What does the news writer mean by dancing passionately and happily? And what does he mean by this could be the start of a new love story?
"Is it true then?" Anna asked as some classmates surrounded me to hear if the news is true.
"I…yes…it's true that…" but I can't continue anymore for they were already screaming and giggling. No! They might misunderstand!!
"No! Wait!" I cried. I want to really let them know the whole story!
"What is it?" They asked and ready to listen intently. Geez…so that's why when I arrive at school they were holding newspaper and doing those stuff. The girls might be giving death glares at me and the boys were probably just laughing like it was just a joke.
"The truth is…yeah…we were really singing and dancing but we were just forced to. It's not really that 'this could be the start of a new love story' or like 'seeing that no other girls like this were given the privilege to sing and dance with him'. We were just forced!" I said hoping that they'll believe me rather than the one who wrote that news.
"But…look at the picture…the both of you were really happy together!" Nonoko cried and
others were giggling. Oh no! The others were also agreeing.
"Well…" I tried to reason out but Hotaru butt in.
"Don't tell me that this picture was being photo shop Mikan. Cause I think that it really is real." She said. Oh no!
"Hotaru! Whose side are you on?" I asked.
"The money side of course! If this is true then I could earn loads of money in this one!" She said.
Just then Mr. Jinno arrives and told us to go to our seats already. I sit beside Hotaru as usual. As I look at the back row, I saw Natsume reading a manga as usual and Ruka listening to the discussions. I smiled. Just seeing Ruka really lighten up my day.
"Ms. Sakura, I want you to answer the question on the board." Mr. Jinno called out and I went to the board.
Hmm…? What's the scientific notation of 0.0000000089? I wonder. I don't really like Math at all. I really think that it is so difficult. Sometimes I even wonder why they had to invent these stuffs.
But anyway as I was still racking my brain hoping to get an answer somebody slammed in the door and everyone was looking at the person.
"Sakura!! Is it true?" a girl that I recognize cried. She's Sumire Shouda and the president of Natsume and Ruka fan club. Geez…I think that she read the news and want to know the truth.
"I…yes…" I said. I mean, it was true although the writer exaggerated some part of it but the story of me and Natsume singing and dancing was true.
"What the…SAKURA!!" She screamed. Geez…
"Ms. Shouda I do not tolerate such screaming! And aren't you disturbing our class?" Mr. Jinno said sternly.
"I don't care Mr. Jinno as long as I want to know why this Sakura dance with my Natsume without my permission!" she cried. She really is so mad…
"Why? Do I have to ask for your permission to dance with your Natsume?" I asked exasperatedly. I really hate it. "And besides, I already danced with him so why do you have to bother about these things?"
Oops! I think that I hit the line because the next moment, Sumire came charging towards me wanting to have a fight. Good thing that I have an eraser with me and I hit it on her face. My other classmates were really howling when I do that. They must've thought that it's a bit heroic. But…
"Ms. Shouda! Ms. Sakura! I do not tolerate such violence! Now both of you! Go to my office and wait for instructions about your detention!" Mr. Jinno said firmly and we trotted out of the classroom to Mr. Jinno's office in silence.
When we arrive at the office, Sumire rounded me on the corner. Uh-oh I really think that trouble's brewing.
"Hey Sakura, I won't let this pass by." She said. She's really scary when she's very mad especially on these things.
"Well, Permy I don't know. Like what the news said maybe it will really be the start of a new love story." I said. I just want to fight her. I don't want that they will think of me like a princess who is just waiting for her prince to save her.
"That's it Sakura!" She cried. Then she began to call her I think fan club members to help her in torturing me or whatsoever they will do to me. I was just thinking of some sort of an escape plan.
As she was still busy calling up her members. I noticed that Mr. Jinno's office window is open. Okay, I think that I will have to escape right now! And with that I climb out of the window and to the open lawn. I heard Sumire shouting but I don't care. I just want to go back home already.
But, I was still rounded up by the fan girls. I tried to go back but they were everywhere. Geez…I really hate these guys.
"So Sakura…you don't have anywhere to escape from." Sumire said evilly and the others were laughing their head off. Ugh…I really hate these things. This is such a worst day of my life.
"Hey Permy, it's just a dance, why bother it?!" I asked already angry.
"Just a dance! Of course it's just a dance stupid! But entirely, what's with this 'this could be the start of a new love story'?" she said.
"Well I'm not the one who wrote it! Go check who the one who wrote it and beat him instead of me. He's the one who's been spreading such lies!" I cried.
"Okay we'll beat him up after we beat YOU up!" she said. "You've infected Natsume with your filthy germs!!" She cried and everyone was starting to beat me up. Some even kick me.
When I kick them back they will also punch me. And I was curled up on the floor and they were beating me up like mad and they were laughing that evil laugh of theirs.
Ugh…why the heck am I always in trouble?? Just then someone called me…such a gentle warm voice…who could it be…maybe my savior…the other girls were backing away looking scared…what happen? Who is this person…?
"N-Natsume…?"
I can't really see if it's him but if it's him or maybe it's Ruka or someone out there I could really feel safe just being in his arms. I try to say 'thanks' but I fell unconscious and I don't know what happen anymore…
-- oOoOoOoOoOo--
Ugh…voices…couldn't they lower their voices? Couldn't they see that someone is already lying here worn out because of what happen to him?
Wait! What happen to me?? Ugh…I can't really remember…all I could figure out is I was being beaten up and then someone saves me…
I slowly open my eyes to see who owns the voices…oh…it's just mom…must be worried sick about what happen to me…
"M-mom…" I said weakly. My mom heard me and then crying came to hug me.
"Ugh…mom…not too tight…" I cried almost choking.
"Sorry honey! I was –sniff—just worried and all." She said crying happily.
"Oh mom…I can manage at all!" I said as I try to sit up. Ouch, my back is still throbbing.
"No! You can't even manage at all! Look at what happen to you! Luckily it wasn't very serious since Hotaru, Ruka and Natsume came to save you." She said.
"What?! They were the ones who save me?" I asked.
"Yes! It was Natsume who carried you in here and called me up." She said. So, it was Natsume after all who save me. That's why the fan girls were scared. I then try to get out of my bed.
"What are you doing honey? Just lie back! You still have to have a good rest!" Mom said worriedly.
"But mom…I have to say thank you to them…" I said.
"There's no need of it Mikan." I heard someone say then three people went to my room.
"You guys!" I cried as Ruka, Hotaru, and Natsume were there.
"Mikan, how are you?" Ruka asked worriedly. Oh no! Don't tell me I'm turning scarlet again.
"I'm fine! Thanks!" I said happily.
"You sure you're okay idiot?" Hotaru asked.
"Yes Hotaru! And oh thank you!" I said happily.
"Actually, it was Natsume who really save you from those deranged fan girls." Hotaru said. I look at Natsume. He doesn't seem worried at all but in fact angry.
"Thanks Natsume! Mom said that you carried me here and called her up…thank you!" I smiled. I really can't thank the three of them enough.
"Whatever Polka-dots. What the hell were you doing not even asking for help?" he said angrily. I've never seen Natsume this angry…not since the time when I almost have a near-death experience.
"I-I'm sorry! It was my fault!" I said guiltily.
"And you just think that you're a princess who's just waiting for his prince to come and save you?!" he said really angrily…he's really scary…
"I'm really sorry Natsume!!" I said crying already…
"Natsume stop it!" I heard Ruka said as I was still sobbing. I didn't really think that Natsume would this be angry. And with that he left the room.
"Don't worry Mikan…he must be just so really worried about you…" Hotaru said. "I'll go bring you some apples." She said then it was only me and Ruka who were left alone in my room.
"I…I…I really didn't think that Natsume could be this angry when he's worried." I said guiltily.
"Nah…he's really like that but after some time he'll just let his anger pass away." Ruka said and I smiled. He's so nice…
"But he was really worried Mikan…I mean…when he saw some girls crowding…he suddenly got angry and went away out of the classroom. Me and Hotaru where thinking the same and went to help." He said.
"But…anyway…thank you…" I said smiling but Ruka look down on the floor.
"I'm sorry Mikan…I didn't get to protect you from them…" he said then I was really feeling so hot…
"I…it's not your fault Ruka…it's my fault. I didn't ask for help. It's really my fault!" I said. I don't want that Ruka will like feel responsible for what happen to me.
"Mikan…if you want to…like…I want to treat you tomorrow if it's okay?" He said. What?! What is he saying…?
"What? I don't understand…" I asked confused…
"You know to make up for not really saving you…I want to treat you tomorrow…like we'll go to places you'll like…all my treat." He said smiling.
What?! Is he asking for a date?! No! It can't be…but…maybe just a friendly date…maybe…or just between friends…hehe…Mikan…you're thinking too advanced…but anyway…I can't let this chance pass…
"Okay Ruka!" I said smiling.
"Really?! Then meet me tomorrow 10 am at Tokyo Plaza…okay?" he said looking happy.
"Okay…" I said happily… I can't really believe it! I will go on a date with Ruka tomorrow…and it seems that I have forgotten about the incident that just happen to me…all is well…
Hehehe! That was a bit long wasn't it?! Hehehe…is everyone excited for the date that Mikan and Ruka have on the next chapter? Hehehe…I'm a bit excited actually but of course I won't tell you yet who will really win Mikan's heart! Hehehe….bleh! Okay... so if you have any comments, suggestions, or even FLAMES then it'll be okay! Hehehe…I'm fine with it. So hit the REVIEW button now!
