UNDERSTAND MY GRAMMAR. I SUCK AT ENGLISH, SO SORRY ;p
Chapter 3: Friends and Lovers.
"Wooooo!" Students shouted in the auditorium after hearing Mikan's announcements.
"Please students calm down. I know you're all very excited for the upcoming events this year, so I'm really happy to announce that by next week classes will be cancelled for the school's foundation day festival preparations!" Mikan exclaimed.
Students whistled, shouted and clapped their hands. Who wouldn't be happy? School just started and after few days classes will be cancelled for fun events at school, I mean, where do you find such great school's leader?
Mikan and the other member of the student council bowed and went down the stage. The bell finally rang and the principal allowed the students to go home. It was still early, and it was only 3 o'clock. The gang left without Mikan because she was still busy with the SC. Meanwhile, Natsume was watching Mikan walking away with those guys of the SC around her. He was pissed, but when Luna arrived he snapped the thought out of his mind and focused his attention on his girlfriend.
"So, where do you wanna go today?" Luna asked while gently rapping her arms around his neck. Natsume smirked and held her waist.
"I want you to be friends with my friends. Last night we had a talk and I think that maybe they should meet you and hang with you, babe." Natsume whispered. Luna smiled and kissed him on the lips.
"So, what about having a dinner at your place?" Luna suggested.
"That would be great, babe. I'll pick you up around 7, okay? See you." He quickly kissed her and ran after the gang.
"Guys, I invited Luna for dinner." Natsume announced when they got home.
"Great. Eat by yourselves." Imai and Sumire murmured.
"What?" Natsume asked glaring at the two.
"Never mind." And they just rolled their eyes.
"Look guys. We've been together for almost a year, and you never gave her the chance to be friends with you. She's important and you're important." Natsume said.
"I wanna vomit." Sumire sarcastically said running in the kitchen.
"Me, too." Anna and Nonoko said laughing.
"You're just… ew, Natsume." Koko and Mochu said laughing.
"I'm speechless." Yuu said while patting his back. Then Natsume sent them death glares and finally turned to face Ruka.
Ruka smiled nervously and walked away while whistling.
"Ughh, guys common. If it doesn't work out, I won't force you anymore." He suddenly said.
"Deal!" They all suddenly shouted.
They started to cook and prepare the dinner. The boys were preparing the table while the girls were cooking.
"Do you think we should add poison?" Sumire asked sarcastically but got hit with Hotaru's bakagun.
"Okay, I got it. Only for tonight." Sumire replied while standing from the floor.
The others laughed when suddenly Natsume finally came back in the mansion after picking Luna.
"Good evening, guys." Luna greeted. The gang evilly eyed each other and went out the kitchen.
"Welcome, Luna-chan." They greeted while faking a smile. Natsume noticed it and secretly glared at them.
"Please, come in. Feel like you're home." Sumire said sweetly or evilly to be more specific.
Luna sat on the couch and Natsume went to check in the kitchen. The girls immediately ran and sat around Luna.
"So, Luna-chan are you hungry?" Anna asked.
"Not really." She awkwardly replied. Suddenly she noticed the photo albums on the desk. She stood and walked to browse them. "May I?" She asked. Imai nodded.
"You must know Natsume since you were kids…" Luna commented while looking at the cover of the photo album.
"Yeah, kinda true." Nonoko replied.
Then Luna, started to browse it.
"This must be Natsume. Haha, he's so kawaiii!" She commented as she scanned the pictures. But as she continued to scan the pictures she noticed a little brunette always with Natsume. She was everywhere, always with him in the photos.
"Who's this girl?" She suddenly asked.
Sumire was about to answer her by telling her everything when suddenly Natsume covered her mouth and took the albums.
"Why, you jelous?" He said smirking.
"Hey, I wasn't done yet." Luna protested.
"The table is ready, let's eat." Luna stood and walked to the dining room while the girls kept glaring at Natsume.
"Natsume, help me bring the food in the dining room." Koko shouted. Natsume just rolled his eyes and walked in the kitchen only to bump into Mikan.
"Aww…" Mikan said while massaging her butt as she tried to stand up.
"Koko, how many times do I have…" But he stopped when he realized it wasn't Koko but Mikan.
"I'm sor-ry." She said and walked ignoring him.
"Hey, Mikan. You came home late. Why did you pass from the backdoor, anyway?" Koko asked when he saw Mikan walking out the kitchen.
"I saw a car outside, thought you had guests. So, I didn't want to interrupt." Mikan said still with her head down.
"Mikan, are you okay?" Koko suddenly asked.
"Yeah, nothing to worry about. I just need some rest, I had a very tiring day." She said and faked a smile which Koko, immediately noticed.
Natsume was still standing there. Why does she have this effect on me? I thought I was over her already… He thought.
Mikan ran upstairs, she locked her room and jumped on her bed. Suddenly Koko, knocked on her door. "Come in." She said.
"It's locked, idiot." Koko commented. Mikan sighed and stood up. She unlocked the door and jumped on the bed again.
Koko locked the door behind him and sat on her bed.
"Where's Koko?" Natsume said when they started to eat.
"In Mik…" Yuu was about to answer.
"Never mind." Natsume interrupted him.
Hotaru suddenly hit him with her baka gun.
"Look, Natsume. This is enough. I'm not going to play along anymore for your cheap girl friend." Hotaru said and walked upstairs.
"Sorry. She's just weird. Don't mind her." Natsume explained to Luna.
Sumire heard him and just exploded. She stood up and left the table glaring at Luna.
"Look, Natsume. Maybe it's better if I go…" Luna said innocently.
"No, you're not going anywhere. You stay here until you finish your dinner." He angrily said.
Finally she finished. She told Natsume that she wanted to go home. Natsume drove her home. They were silently standing outside the car.
"Natsume, I'm really sorry about what happened earlier." Luna said.
"Shh, I'm the one who should say sorry." Natsume said and Luna hugged him.
Meanwhile Mikan and Koko were talking.
"I knew you weren't okay." Koko said smiling while watching Mikan crying on her pillow.
"How did you know?" Mikan asked.
"Common Mikan, we know each other since we were kids. I know everything about you." Koko said as he pulled away from her face her pillow.
"Come here, little girl. Cry on my shoulder and tell me what you're feeling." Koko said while helping Mikan to sit beside him.
"I know you know about what happened the other night between me and Natsume. I saw the hidden camera when I entered inside the mansion." She explained.
"Are you mad?" Koko asked.
"Not really." Mikan said smiling still with teary eyes.
"So, what do you feel?" Koko asked again.
"To tell you the truth I don't know it either. There's this part of me which wants to fix everything with Natsume, but I don't know if it's because I still love him or because I don't wanna lose a friend…" Mikan explained as she suddenly hugged Koko.
"Oh, Mikan. This must be hard for you." Mikan nodded sadly.
"Don't worry we're always here for you." Koko said while caressing her head.
A week already passed and finally it was the preparation week for the school's festival.
Still there was a very awkward atmosphere at the mansion, but they just ignored it.
"Okay, you go and bring this. Yes, here! Here, guys! Please put it here. Oh wait, you there! Go paint here!" Mikan kept commanding and shouting to everyone. They were all busy preparing for the festival but they were having fun.
"Mikan! Watch out!" Tsubasa shouted.
But unfortunately the balloon full of colour paint hit her when she turned to face Tsubasa.
"Oops…" Tsubasa said in a very low voice while slowly walking away.
"Eh, no sempai!" Mikan threw him two balloons of colour paint. "Ho! Ho, nice one M-" Misaki was about to tease him when suddenly she felt something wet on her clothes. "Andou!" Misaki screamed and they started to threw paint at each other. They were all laughing and having fun while preparing except for Natsume and Luna who were watching them from the blitchers.
"That Sakura girl is sure is a thing. I'd really like to be one of her friends and her boyfriend sure is lucky to have her." Luna commented. Natsume's eyes widened at her comment. Suddenly memories of them still together flashed his mind. He suddenly pushed Luna from his lap and stood.
"Hey, babe. What's your problem?" Luna shouted while trying to stand.
"Just leave me alone. I'm not in the mood, okay?" He replied and kept walking.
Days passed and still Natsume and Mikan were avoiding each other. They would stop and stare at each other for a second and suddenly look and walk away. Luna and Natsume kept arguing about little things they were becoming distant to one another.
"Tenenen! We're done!" Mikan shouted and screamed. The students jumped from joy and happiness and hugged each other. Mikan jumped and hugged the first person beside her. She didn't know him but when she hugged him he carried her and turn around laughing. Suddenly her eyes met his eyes. She suddenly kept staring into those brown eyes.
"Oh, sorry." He said letting her go.
"No, no. It's okay. I mean, I'm sorry for suddenly hugging you." Mikan said blushing. Sumire noticed them and started to tease them, but they didn't notice her.
"Kaname Sono." He said offering his hand.
"Mikan. Mikan Sakura." She said smiling while shaking hands with him.
"Hey, Kaname! Let's go!" Someone suddenly called.
"Gotta go, then." He suddenly said.
"Okay." Mikan shyly replied.
"Okay." He said smiling.
Mikan just kept smiling like an idiot.
"I'll see you then." And he ran into the crowd.
"Mikan, so who was that stranger you hugged?" Sumire, Anna and Nonoko asked.
"Ka-na-me." She softly replied.
"Ayayai, from the way you said his name, arrrr… Haha. Cupido finally decided to play with you again." Mikan suddenly came back on earth and hit Sumire with her fan.
"Idiot." She said laughing.
Suddenly she saw Natsume continuously kicking the sakura tree out of the auditorium.
Maybe I should try to become friends with him again… Friends is enough for me. She thought and took a deep breath before leaving the auditorium.
"Stupid." Natsume kept shouting as he kept kicking the poor Sakuta tree.
Why am I acting like this? Everything with Luna is just falling apart… And her… And he suddenly kicked hard the tree.
"I hate this damn tree!" He shouted. Suddenly Mikan coughed from behind. Natsume became quiet and stayed staring at the tree.
"What do you want?" He said in a cold voice without turning to look at her.
"I just wanted to check how this tree was doing since I noticed that someone was kicking it." Mikan explained.
"Look, stop it!" He suddenly shouted.
Mikan's eyes widened. "Stop forcing yourself to be close to me again…" He said in a low voice.
"S-so-sorry. I just wanted to check on y-" But Natsume interrupted her.
"On me? Checking on me? And why, Mikan?" Mikan couldn't answer, when she heard him call her by her first name. Tears were about to fall, but she controlled them.
"Mikan, you are the reason why I'm like this. This is all your fault." He shoutedd and finally turned to face her.
When he turned, Mikan's tears suddenly fell. Natsume suddenly felt something when he saw her crying.
Mikan couldn't stop crying. She was staring at Natsume. Natsume could read all her feelings by just looking in her eyes and there was regret among them, but suddenly Mikan ran away. Natsume was fighting with his pride now, when Mikan ran away and when he suddenly ran after her Hotaru suddenly stopped him.
"Enough!" Hotaru shouted. Natsume ignored her and kept running after Mikan. "Oi, Hyuuga. And for your information you are the main reason why she left." Suddenly Natsume stopped on his tracks and turned to look at Hotaru.
"What? You knew something?" He asked in disbelief, but Hotaru just turned and walked away.
"Oi! Imai! Wait! Damn shit. What did she mean?" He asked to himself.
Mikan was running when suddenly she bumped into someone.
"Oh, I'm really sorry. I wasn't looki-" but the person she bumped in interrupted her.
"Mikan?" Kaname said while looking at her. "Mikan, why are you crying?"
"Kanam-e…? No, it's nothing." She replied while trying to walk away, but suddenly Kaname pulled her into a hug.
"I don't want to see you crying." Kaname whispered. Mikan pushed him away, and thanked him and ran away.
I want to cry all my heart out alone. I'm really stupid to think that Natsume and I could really become friends again… She thought while running. Then, she decieded to go on the rooftop. When she arrived she cried staring at the horizon.
