Kyaaah~ three already :))

DISCLAIMER: I do not own Gakuen Alice and it's characters, Higuchi Tachibana does.. But the plot is mine. :))

"That stupid natsume! Why the hell did he told me that hotaru arrived when she's not! That pig!" mikan was really pissed when she found out.

"Mikan! Where have you been?! I've been looking for you."

"i'm not in the mood permy."

"hey! I've been running all around for hours just to look for you! And now you're telling me you're not in the mood you stupid idiot!" sumire exclaimed conspicuously at the corridor catching other student's attention.

Mikan sighed. "alright fine! what is it?!"

"what do you mean what is it?! Don't tell me you forgot!"

"i wouldn't be asking you if i know permy!"

"the ball! It's tomorrow already! How can you forget that?!"

Mikan widened her eyes in realization and paused for moment before she started screaming wildly.

"Gyaaaah-! I completely forgot! I don't have anything to wear yet! I'm such an idiot! It's that pig's fault!"

During Coffee break at the cafeteria.

Natsume, Ruka, Kitsuneme and Koko was having lunch. And at the next table, there was Mikan, Anna, Nonoko, and Sumire chatting about the upcoming ball.

"hey guys, have you found yourself a date for tomorrow?" it was koko.

"i have!" kitsuneme proudly answered. "i already asked nonoko yesterday and she yes!" he continued and gestured his point finger towards nonoko.

"that's great! I'll ask sumire later." koko uttered. "how about ruka, natsume?"

"w-well.." ruka stattered. "i was planning to ask... i-imai."

Natsume's brow curved. He was a hundred percent sure that ruka would want to go with mikan and not imai, definitely not her. He shot a glance at ruka who's face was flushing.

"what?!" kitsuneme exclaimed. "why imai? Is that even possible? And i heard she's not here right?"

"narumi sensei told me that she'll probably be back tomorrow so i'll just ask her when she arrives.." ruka answered.

Natsume turned his head to stare at mikan. He almost forgot that he lied to mikan earlier this morning about hotaru just to get her away from that freak tsubasa. He knows that she figured that out already but she hasn't confronted him yet which makes him wonder if she's mad.

"alright, do whatever you want ruka. If you need our help we're just here." koko uttered. "how about you natsume? "

Natsume was caught off guard. He shot an annoyed glance at koko. He doesn't want to attend that ball 'cause for him, it's just a waste of time and those crazy fangirls of him is torturing him to death just to be his date for the so called party and it irritates him the most.

Natsume was about to say 'i'm not going' but stopped when he heard the other student squealed and whispers. He turned to see what was that about but unfortunately, it was tsubasa walking inside the cafeteria holding a bouquet of flowers heading towards mikan's table.

"Hello ladies." he uttered.

"tsubasa senpai!" mikan was surprised. "why are you here?!"

"isn't it obvious?" tsubasa smiled sweetly. "i'm here to give you this." Then he handed the flowers to mikan.

Mikan's face flushed, she's reluctant to take the flowers 'cause she can feel the gloomy aura emitted by tsubasa's fangirls but still accepted it anyway.

Natsume clenched his fist and threw a deadly glare tsubasa. He can hear the other students murmurs and squeakings.

"Oh my god! is that tsubasa andou? one of the hottest guys in the academy?! He's so handsome!"

"That's mikan sakura right?! Is he dating her?! That's not fair!"

"aww! How sweet! I envy that girl!"

"they look good together!"

"they do look good as couple!"

The last made natsume's vein pop out. He's so exasperated. He can't stand the scene and that cocky bastard tsubasa any longer, he stood conspicuously and that diverted half of the cafeteria's attention to him including mikan and tsubasa.

Mikan was flustered, tsubasa smirked smugly. Another vein popped out of natsume's.

Tsubasa grasped mikan's right hand and placed a kiss that made her blush even more.

Natsume had enough of it already so he lit a fire and burned the bouquet of flowers on mikan's hands, turning it to ashes.

"Gyaaah!" mikan screamed. she stood up and stared at culprit. "why the hell did you do that natsume!" her voice echoed throughout the cafeteria.

Everyone's eyes is on the both of them. Even tsubasa who's stunned with what he did.

"You look annoyingly stupid when you blush." natsume answered in a bored tone.

"w-what?! that's it?!" mikan stammered. "you burned my flowers.. b-because i look s-stupid to you?!" she lowered her head to hold back her tears that is about to fall.

Natsume cursed under his breath. He didn't want to actually hurt her but too late for that 'cause she's about to cry already and it's his fault. He wants to say he's sorry and that he didn't mean what he just said.

The truth is she looks cute when she blush, but she's blushing for other boys not for him and that exasperates him. Too bad nothing came out from his mouth.

"whatever i do.. I'll always look stupid in your eyes right?" she can't hold her tears any longer.

"mi-" she cut natsume off.

"sorry.." mikan lifted her head to meet his crimson eyes, tears flowing through her porcelain cheeks. "i'm just being me natsume, unlike you.." she whimpered. She wiped her tears then walked out of the cafeteria.

"You just made a woman cry natsume! you sick bastard!" tsubasa shook his head and turned to follow mikan. "mikan wait!"

"n-natsume... Are you alright?" ruka asked but he didn't answer then he walked out of the cafeteria.

"Damn it! Damn it!" natsume cursed himself.

After the incident at the cafeteria, he went straight to his room and banged the door.

He allowed his body to fall on his bed then shutted his eyes.

He can't help but to recall what had happened, he can't forget how sad she looks and her crying face.

'i made her cry' he thought.

"whatever i do.. I'll always look stupid in your eyes right?"

those words keeps on echoing in his mind. He sighed heavily.

"i'm totally messed up." he muttered to himself.

~MIKAN'S POV~

I went straight to my room after what happened. I didn't even noticed when tsubasa senpai stopped following me but none of that matters for now i just want to be alone.

What the hell is wrong with him?! He lied to me about hotaru just this morning and i don't even understand why he had to do that! still i let that slip and now, he turned my flowers into ashes and humiliated me in front of everybody!

"You look annoyingly stupid when you blush."

His words are like sharp knives being slowly pierced one by one through my chest. Why does he have to call me stupid all the time and this time in front of the whole cafeteria?! Am i that worthless to him?! Is he making fun of me again?! Why can't he just leave me alone?!

Here i am once again.. Crying myself to sleep like what had happened three years ago.. And it's because of the same reason, because of him again..
