Chapter 3: The Start Of Pretending

The next day Natsume went to his class with his usual frown. But it was changed when he saw Mikan running to her class, as usual she's late. Natsume smirk at the sight of the girl.

"Hey Natsume, what's with the smirk?" Ruka asked.

"None of your business" Natsume replied coldly, as he sat at his chair.

"Alright" Ruka said. Then a girl with an auburn hair entered the room.

"Umm….. Excuse me is Koko here?" She asked the people in the class.

"Oh! Mikan what's the matter?" Koko asked her worriedly, walking to the direction of Mikan

"I just came here to return the book I borrowed" Mikan said while giving the book to Koko.

"You're done reading this?" Koko asked Mikan.

Mikan nodded and said yes, She was about to bid her goodbye when she suddenly saw someone familiar. "Natsume" she said in surprised.

"What?" Natsume asked.

Mikan shooked her head and said "Nothing".

"Mikan spill it out" Natsume commanded.

"I said nothing. I don't have anything to say" Mikan replied.

"You know each other?" Koko and Ruka said in chorused.

"Yes, she's my girlfriend"Natsume replied emotionless.

"WHAT!" Koko and Ruka exclaimed in surprised.

"Is it true Mikan?" Koko asked

"Ummm... y-yes" Mikan said lowering her head

"I see. So that's your plan, ne Natsume?" Ruka whispered to Natsume.

"What?" he asked.

"I need to go now Koko , Goodbye" Mikan said feeling uncomfortable and went out of the room.

"You get another girlfriend." Ruka stated.

"What's the matter?" Natsume asked

"I'm just wondering if how long will you and that girl will be an item" Ruka said.

"I don't know maybe four months" Natsume stated, ruka looked at him suspicuosly.

Lunch Time

Mikan and Hotaru went to the canteen and get their food but they noticed that there are no any vacant sit for them. Then suddenly—

"Ne, Mikan-chan. Come sit here", Ruka waved at Mikan. Signalling her and her friend to sit at their table. Having no choice Mikan walked slowly to the table.

"Mikan, tell me how did Nogi know you?" Hotaru asked Mikan while they're walking going to the table.

"Umm…. It's a long story Hotaru, maybe I'll tell you some other time". Mikan forced a smile that turns out to be a fake one.

"Mikan you sit beside Natsume",Ruka said then ate his salad. Their sitting arrangement was Koko,Natsume and Mikan on the right side of the table while Ruka and Hotaru on the left side of the table. The students inside of the canteen were looking at them.

"Is she the new girlfriend of Natsume-sama?" One girl asked her friend. The room were filled of whispering until the bell rang signalling that the lunch time is over.

"now we are officially a couple in front of everyone" Natsume whispered while they are walking to the door of the canteen

"Why do your friend need to ask us to sit there?" Mikan asked Natsume also whispering.

"Of course he think that we are an item" Natsume replied.

"Oh." Is the only thing Mikan manage to say.

"Ne, we need to part ways now. Goodbye" Mikan said and bid goodbye to the boys. She and Hotaru walked to their classroom.

"Mikan now tell me how did you and Natsume become an item?" Hotaru asked seriously.

Mikan didn't know what to say. 'I'm sorry Hotaru but I can't tell you the reason now'.Mikan said in her mind.

"Umm…. M-maybe because im beautiful and Natsume gets attracted to me so we become an item. Ha ha ha" Mikan laughed nervously as she said her lie. She looked at the ground while they're walking.

"what a lame statement Mikan" Hotaru said coldy. 'I know theres something she's not telling me. I'll gonna let you pass now, I know you don't want to tell the truth' Hotaru thought looking at Mikan.

When Mikan and Hotaru entered their room many of their classmates approach them.

"Is it true Mikan you're the new girlfriend of Natsume-sama?" a girl with black-short hair asked Mikan.

"Umm….. Y-yyes" Mikan said

"Wow you're so lucky"

"Can you tell us how did you become Natsume's girlfriend?"

"Since when did you become Natsume-sama's girlfriend?",many of her classmates want to know every single detail.

"Enough guys, we all know that Natsume will break her up soon. So stop asking her questions", Luna said, sitting at her chair crossing her arms and legs with her friends at her side.

"Luna, why are you so bitter"Nonoko told

"You know because Mikan is not the type of girl Natsume will like."Luna said as she stand up and walked to the direction where Mikan and the others were standing.

"Well, Luna accept the fact that Mikan is Natsume's girlfriend now. I'm sure your just jealous 'coz Natsume likes Mikan. Hmm…. And he didn't know that you exist" Nonoko sarcastically said and everyone laughed at her statement.

"So what!. One day I'm going to be his girlfriend" Luna yelled .

"Haha.. Luna when will that be?" One of the boys burst out laughing making Luna more annoyed.

"Soon you'll see. Losers"Luan said and went back to her sit.

"Your hopeless, Luna", Hotaru said emotionless.

"Go back to your sit everyone"Gino sensei said at the front of the door. The moment they hear Gino's voice everyone rush to their sit.

"Tomorrow, were going to have a tree planting program tomorrow. And your section will join the section A" Gino said and start his lesson

'That section. ' Mikan thought
