Say My Name: Chapter 3
The Rude Awakening
SOOO SORRY FOR THE LATE UPDATE! Like to Thank SweetKaiariChan for being my beta-reader!
A night passed. And both felt horrible.
The alarm clock rang at 7:30AM, annoying Mikan until she woke up, or until she decided to hit the snooze button. This time, she had gotten up already, curtisy of going to bed early. That was probably the reason why. She walked to the washroom and took a good look at herself. 1 word. 2 syllables. Eyebags. She panicked, wondering why, when she seem to have had enough sleep. Perhaps she it was because she overtired herself yesterday, maybe a bad aura? Whatever the reason may be, she looked horrendous. She had messy bedhead, eyebags and something about her mood appeared different from before. She knew that she couldn't go outside looking like this... A complete mess!
Just when things were already bad enough, she heard a knock on her dorm, when she opened the door she found Natsume. He was dressed in his uniform, in his own way, and looked ready for seven hours of torture. He seemed baffled when seeing Mikan.
"You look ugly. It's 8:00. I came to pick you up, but I assume we're going to be late." Natsume plainly stated.
"Why are you here Natsume? Aren't I annoying?" She remarked.
"Look, Mikan, I'm sorry okay? It just slipped out of my mouth and I wasn't..." He cut himself off...
"You weren't what?" She questioned, quite close to yelling.
"I wasn't thinking." He admitted, having a slightest bit of sorrow in his eyes. "Since you look like a mess, I'll help you out. I'm always late anyway. Your uncle wont care."
Natsume entered himself in and fixed Mikan's hair and washed her eyes with ice cold water to lighten the eyebags, before, His sister always used to have eyebags and behead so Natsume got accustomed to her morning routines. Mikan quickly got ready while Natsume was waiting on the couch, and when they left it was 8:30. They were late. But they didn't care!
When they finally got into class, the whole class gazed at them, wondering why they were late, and why they were late together. They whispered things such as, 'hey are they a couple?', which eventually made both of them blush a little. Natsume almost immediately turned emotionless and grunted, making his way to his seat. Mikan, on the other hand, was blushing a bright red looking very uncomfortable, however, trying to hide her blush. she went to Hotaru and started a quick, "You're a Baka" conversation. It was a free period, like most of the time, so they were allowed to do whatever they wanted, if the teacher didn't find out. During lunch, Mikan sat with the usual group; Anna, Nonoko, Hotaru, and herself, of course. Sitting right behind them were Natsume, Ruka, Mochiage and Yuu on the other table. Unaware, Mikan and Natsume where sitting right across from each other, and when they were conversing with their friends they snuck glances and smirks to each other.
They didn't know it yet, but they grew strong feelings for each other. Not just as friends, but maybe a little step further.
I'm on a writers block guyyyss! So chapters would be really short and end on a cliffy. Sorry 'bout that.
