I HOPE YOU ENJOY THIS CHAPTER. READ AND REVIEW.
Xx DAY BEFORE CONTEST xX
Mikan and Natsume had not spoken to each other for two weeks and five days. Mikan was loosing her mind. First, Luna was constantly clinging to her boyfriend (I think I explained they are still going out but giving each other space) and kept flirting with him in front of her and he as not doing anything. Second, she was so nervous about the contest, she started loosing sleep after the first two weeks. She has been jittery for a while but now as she lay in her bed trying not have a panic attack she thought,'Tomorrow is the day. Nastume will have to choose, and once he does, I have to respect what happens,' tears now dripping down her face,' even if he ends up with that tramp Luna.' Mikan fell asleep thinking of Natsume and her heart swelled each time his name or face came up.
Xx The Next Day xX
BAKA BAKA BAKA
TUMP"Ouch,Hotaru. What is your problem?"
"Get up, baka. We have to get to the twins' dorm (Anna and Nonoko) to get your make up and hair done. Then get to in wardrobe. So get up NOW!"
Xx Anna And Nonoko's Dorm xX ( TELL ME IF I'M MOVING TO FAST)
Mikan was currently sitting in a chair with Sumire and Nonoko doing her make up while eating a big breakfast Anna made just for her. Nonoko worked on her hair and nails while Permy- I mean Sumire- worked on her make up.
"Come on. Come on. COME ON!" Hotaru barked tapping her foot impatiently. "Hurry up, people. We still have to get her dressed."
On the outside she was calm but on the inside she was a mess. She wanted Mikan to go through with it but not to get hurt by it. This is her best friend we are talking about, of course she worries about her but she doesn't show it. Natsume is going to have to shape up if Mikan and his relationship is going to work.
"We are going the fastest we can, Hotaru. Why don't you help us but getting the dress that someone forgot." Sumire said accusingly to Mikan.
"Sorry," Mikan said.
"We'll be done by the time you get back. Now go on. Shoo." Anna continued.
Hotaru glared at the girls while she left. When she came back, she was shocked that her best friend looked amazing.
Her hair was pulled into a tight high bun with a few strands framing her face. She barely needed make up but the others- Anna, Nonoko, and Sumire- insisted on doing a little touch up.
Mikan's eyes had eye liner and mascara making her look more mature. Her cheeks had faint but visible blush and her nails were painted bubble gum pink. Simply put she looked marvelous.
"You guys did a good job. The baka looks like a lady." Hotaru commented.
"Mou. Can't you complement me without including an insult." Mikan complained.
"Shut up and take your dress." Hotaru retorted as she threw the brunette her dress.
Mikan went into the bathroom and came out in a beautiful midnight blue dress. It was sleeveless, not strapless, and form fitting. It went down to her knees and had a small slit on the left.
"Wow," everyone said in unison.
Anna said to Sumire," We did a good job," and they high-fived.
"Yeah we did. let's go or we will be late." Sumire said.
Xx At The Contest (Girls Dressing room) xX
"Alright. I can do this. I can do this," Mikan chanted pacing around the room.
"I can't do this she said then slummed to the ground.
Her friends , who were also competing, watched from the other side of the room.
"We can't let her do this to herself. She has been doing that since we got here an hour ago," Anna said worriedly.
"I know but what can we do," Nonoko said in the same tone.
" I got this," Hotaru announced calmly. She walked up to Mikan and
SLAP
The inventor slapped her best friend across the face. HARD.
~SILENCE~
Tears started forming in Mikan's eyes every plugged their ears, thinking she was going to cry. Instead she said ," Thanks, Hotaru. I needed that."
"Cheer up and remember if you lose him you still have us." she replied.
"You're right" Mikan said wiping her tears away.
"GROUP HUG!" Sumire shouted. Hotaru unwillingly joined.
"Look at this sweet and tender moment." A slutty voice said.( You know who. Voldemort... Just kidding.)
"What do you want, bitch." Hotaru growled.
"I just wanted to tell Mikan that after tonight Natsume is mine." She turned to leave but stopped. "And a word of advice, You shouldn't bother preforming because I'm going to win, so back off. Ta-Ta ladies."
Mikan was glaring at the door Luna left through (for those who did not know).
"Don't worry about her. Do what you need to to get Natsume straight. The truth is, Natsume's becoming unbearable and only you can change him... except Ruka but he doesn't want to hurt his best friend." Hotaru admitted.
"Now let's all go out there and win this thing." Mikan said all cheered up and determined.
