Chapter 3: the ring

Then mikan turned the lights off…

"aahhhh!!!! Natsume-kun where are you!" a fan girl shout,

"hey!"

"don't push me!"

"bring the lights back!" one of the fan girls shouted

"somebody!"

The girls where shouting! They cant see anything, when suddenly the lights turned on…

"ahh!!!!!!..." one of the fan girls shouted, they were surprised to see natsume kissing mikan with both of his hand leaning on the wall…

Mikan's eyes widened, she was surprised by what just happened when suddenly Mikan waved her hand and…

SLAP!!

Natsume was shocked by the way mikan acted,

"you stupid pervert! How dare you kiss me! What the hell are you thinking? You stole my first kiss!" Mikan said while blushing

"…" natsume did'nt respond he noticed mikan blushing and grinned

Mikan on the other hand was a bit confused on why natsume grinned at her after slapping his face

"Why are you blushing blueberries? Wanna do it again?" Natsume said in a cold perverted tone, while placing his left hand on the wall and leaning closer to mikan

Mikan blushed harder as she look at natsume's stunning eyes

Why am I feeling this way?

Suddenly Sumire interrupted

"hey sakura! How dare you kiss MY natsume" sumire said emphasizing the word MY

Mikan and natsume looked at sumire…

"Eventhough you are a three star dont think that you can do anything you want on this school… your just a spoiled brat…" sumire said

Mikan was angry by what sumire said so she began expressing her emotions

"Of course… I should really listen to you… you're a two star right? And your name is sumire your father owns a very small company right? And that company seems to be under my father's control… what do think will happened if my father dropped your fathers shares?"

Sumire froze, she forgot that his father was still under Sakura's management…

"Someday our luck will change sakura…" and sumire turned her back from mikan and called the fan girls…then she walked away…

Mikan gave a sigh, and natsume put his hands on his pockets and walked away, mikan didn't bother to ask where he was going she was still a bit shocked of the events…

The next day...

KNOCK! KNOCK! KNOCK!

"Ms. Sakura…Ms. Sakura…" a maid said while knocking on the door

"yes, come in" mikan stated

The maid entered the room holding a tray with piece of bacon, cheese, a chocolate cake, a milk and a piece of bread in it, the maid carefully closed the door and walked to Mikan's bed

"Ms. Sakura here's your meal, and your father wanted to tell you that he wants to meet you at his office today at 1:00, he said its really important." The maid said while placing mikans meal on her bed and arranging her scattered dress..

"ok… please tell him that I will be there… oh and thanks for the breakfast" mikan said with a soft tone

"your welcome ma'am" the maid left the room and shut the door carefully

Hey Dad Look at me, think back and talk to me

Did I grow up according to plan?...

Mikan Cellphone rang and she immediately picked it up…

"hello?" Mikan said

"hey idiot… Are you busy today?"

"Hotaru? No… I don't think so… why?"

"I wanted to go to the mall to shop, I already asked Ruka about it but he said he was busy, so if it's ok do you mind if you would come with me and go to the mall??"

"yeah sure, no problem.. wait for me at the park around 7:00, ok?"

"sure.. so see you there"

The all ended and mikan immediately jump out of her bed and started looking at her huge closet , after 30 minutes she finally settled her dress…

She wore a pink pants, pink boots that is just below the knees, a white long sleeve and a long pink coat… her bag was color white with gold bling-blings around it.

"I think this will be okay" she checks the time and went out of her room… a man wearing a tuxedo followed her..

"Ms. Sakura… what car do you want to use today?" the man with tuxedo asked (the man wearing the tuxedo is her assistant ok?)

"ill go for the pink limousine" mikan said

"alright mam… the limo is already waiting for you at the front door… is there anything you need?"

"nothing… thank you…"mikan said as she smiled to his assistant

"your welcome Ma'am…" and he left..

Mikan proceeded to the car and left…

"Could you bring me to the park please…" mikan said to the driver shin

"Yes… Of course"

"Thank you…"mikan responded

AT THE PARK…..

Mikan went out the car and walked through the park… and spotted his best friend hotaru…

"hotaru!" she waved…

"Hey, idiot! Stop waving and come over here" hotaru said


OK WAIT! Brief explanation about mikan ok? First of all only her friends knew her real attitude… she really is friendly and all… kind… but when she talks to other people… she became all bitchy… you'll know why when the story goes on… and by the way at home she always act quiet, but not so happy, she show rare smiles and most of all she always follows orders from her parents, she wasn't happy at home… she wasn't that close to her parents… even though how many times she tries to talk to them sincerely… business always interrupts it… so she lacks of love from parents, even though her parents give everything to her… she doesn't give a damn… she needs love not some silly materials…


Mikan walked towards hotaru who was waiting for her…

"what took you so long?" hotaru questioned

"Sorry… I need to choose a perfect dress… for this is a special day… its really rare for us to go shopping together hotaru!" Mikan stated cheerfully

Then they went on shopping… Mikan went to a jewelry shop while hotaru stopped at the dress store…

Mikan was looking at the different jewelries when a unique ring caught her eye… it was a gold ring with a heart shape diamond in it… it was really beautiful that mikan stared at it…

"do you want this ring ma'am?" the sales lady asked while taking the ring out from the glass cabinet and placing it in front of mikan…

"uhmm… how much is it?" mikan asked…

"20,000 dollars, and its diamond is real… plus you can put your name on the gold ring for free…" the sales lady said

Mikan didn't hesitate to buy it… she quickly took her credit card off her wallet and hand it to the sales lady

"thank you ma'am… what name should I inscribe in the ring?" the sales lady asked

"uhmm… I want you to write MIKAN in it… thank you…" mikan said kindly..

The sales lady swiped the card and asked another sales lady to inscribe the name mikan in the ring… after 5 minutes the sales lady hand over mikan the ring…

"thank you for your visit ma'am… come back again soon.." the sales lady said as Mikan walked towards the door…

Mikan went to the dress shop to look for hotaru… and as she opened the door she saw hotaru in the left corner looking at the colorful ties..

"hey hotaru… why are you looking at those ties? Who are you going to buy that?" mikan asked with a cute face

"im going to give it to a special friend… and don't mind asking or Im going to leave you here dying…"

Mikan sweatdropped and didn't bother to ask…

Hotaru picked a yellow tie with with stripes and handed it to the cashier… the cashier took the tie and looked for the tag price… and swiped it to the scanner (you know when you buy… the one that has a red light to determine the price of the object?)

"60 dollars ma'am…" the cashier lady said

Hotaru handed the twenty dollars and the cashier lady tooked it… she placed the tie on a plastic and gave it to hotaru.. and they went out of the shop…

"hotaru if it's a special friend, why would you buy something just for 60 dollars?" mikan asked, confused

"because, I know he is not as stupid as you that won't appreciate something as cheap as that…" Hotaru exclaimed

"Gomen… but Hotaru… if it's from you, even it's 1 dollar I would gladly accept it" mikan said smiling at hotaru

"what if I give you a glue so you could shut your mouth… would you accept it?"

"ehehehe…" mikan said,sweat dropping, while they were walking mikan saw a bench at the center of the plaza…

"hotaru, let's seat over there so we could take a rest"

Hotaru didn't respond, she walked towards the chair and sat… Mikan placed all her belongings under the chair… and tried to open a conversation with hotaru…

"hey hotaru, I bought a ring for 20,000 dollars and I want to ask you if its beautiful or not." Mikan said as she carefully took the ring from the bag and showed it to hotaru

"it's beautiful for an idiot like you." Hotaru said in a cold and normal tone

"hotaru!... haay…" mikan said as she closed the small heart shaped box where the ring was placed… when she was about to put the ring in the bag she heard a man shouting…"fluff puffs, now available!"

Her eyes widened… she put the ring on the side of the chair and took her belongings… she pulled hotaru to the fluff puff store and bought 2 boxes of fluff puff without remembering that she left her ring beside the chair…

Mikan ate the candy happily… and walked

"hotaru! It's delicious…." Mikan said smiling… hotaru didn't respond… she doesn't wish to interrupt mikan from eating her most favorite food in the world…

Then suddenly… mikan's cellphone rang

Hey Dad Look at me, think back and talk to me

Did I grow up according to plan?...

Mikan opened her bag and looked for her phone… she flipped it up and answered it…

"hello?"

"your late, Ms. Sakura… it's already 1 o'clock and your father is waiting for you!" her assistant said a bit nervous

"oh no! I forgot…. I have an appointment with my dad!... ok I'll be there in a minute… please tell my father that im sorry…" mikan said and hurriedly closed her phone…

"hotaru… im sorry I have to go… my father is waiting for me… see you tomorrow!" mikan said as she rushed to the nearest exit of the mall… hotaru didn't mind mikan and walked straight ahead…

ON THE OTHER HAND

Natsume was also in the mall looking for his best friend ruka, who was secretly following hotaru… He was already exhausted… so, when he saw a bench at the center of the plaza… he quickly sat on it and rested

Where the hck is Ruka? I thought he'll be here at 7:00 am, it's already 1pm and still no sign of him

Natsume thought while sitting on the bench… then suddenly he felt something on his side, its small and its hard… so he look at his side and took the thing that he felt… he was surprised of what he saw… it was a heart shaped box…. Natsume thought that somebody must have left it in there… so he opened the box… and saw a beautiful ring with a heart shaped diamond in it… Natsume was stunned, he didn't know that he'll find something as beautiful as this… he looked took the ring and examined it, it was real diamond and pure gold… while he was examining it he noticed something inscribed in it… it read MIKAN he was shocked, he was wondering if it belong to the Mikan he knew or somebody else… so he went to the nearest jewelry shop to ask for help…

"excuse me, but have you by any chance saw somebody who bought this ring?" natsume asked

"yes, sir a woman wearing a pink dress with a brunette hair bought it today… is there something the matter sir?" the sales lady asked

"no… nothing… thank you.." natsume left the shop… and he was now sure that the ring belonged to mikan… The mikan he knew and admires
