Mikan plonked herself down onto the moist green grass, the shade of their sakura tree covering her completely. She sighed a little happily.
The sun felt nice in the afternoon, she let it warm her face and let out an involuntarily smile.
Then soft thudding footsteps interrupted her blissful moment, her smile vanished and she opened up one eye to spot the intruder.
"Oi, what are you doing idiot?" a familiar husky voice questioned.
Silence...
"What do you want Hyuuga?" She sat up and crossed her arms. 'Hyuuga? Since when did she call me that?' Natsume asked himself confusedly.
Mikan blinked and when she opened her eyes a pair of crimson orbs met her hazel ones. "What's wrong with you Mikan?" Natsume asked in what was his soft tone.
"Erh ... One: Get off me! Two: Don't act so familiar with me, ugly."
Natsume had to fight the shocked emotion's he was feeling from surfacing on his perfect face.
Then he decided to play along, he wasn't too sure what the game was but he wasn't letting her get away with that comment.
"Ugly? Pfft, you're one to talk."
"Whatever Hyuuga, get lost already."
She closed her eyes and waited to hear the sound of his feet moving away, but no noise came. She had had enough; she sat up and glared at him. "What do you want?"
She screamed at him furiously.
"Tell me why you're acting like this." He responded calmly.
"Because i feel like it!"
"Okay then. Tell me something ..." He paused mid-sentence.
"What?"
"Is it because of what i said?"
She smirked widely, "Don't flatter yourself. I felt like change and the start of middle school seemed like a pretty good time."
They were both quiet for what seemed like a long time, Natsume studied her expression. After a moment he knew she was lying, he would have said so, but he thought of a better plan.
He was secretly enjoying this change of character from her and planned to see how long it would last.
"Alright then." said Natsume as he stood up, "It's decided."
"What's decided?" said Mikan sounding bored.
"The plans for Saturday night." He replied smoothly.
"Stop speaking in riddles!" Mikan snapped at him.
He smirked down at her but decided to answer her, "The graduation dance is on Saturday, and i've decided that i'll cut you some slack and take you with me. I mean let's be honest here Polka, no ones gonna want to go with you."
Mikan raised an eyebrow at him but before she could reply he turned and walked off towards the school.
She was angry at first, but then decided she didn't really care. She shrugged to herself and walked back towards the class.
Eyes followed her every movement but she just glared back at the ogling boys.
When she entered the class the teacher took one look at her then announced, "Um... Erh... Free study time!" She then hurried past Mikan and out the door.
Mikan snickered to herself and proceeded to her seat. Her path was suddenly blocked by a very annoyed looking Sumire.
"Outta my way Permy." Mikan Glared at her.
"N-no." stammered a terrified looking Sumire.
She was frozen in place, and Mikan knew it. A dangerous looking grin appeared on Mikan's face.
"Move it ... Or i'll take your alice." Sneered a very scary looking Mikan.
Sumire's eyes widened and so did everyone else's. "Who are you?!" Sumire pointed at Mikan accusingly.
Mikan rolled her eyes at her, "Who do i look like Permy? Aren't you supposed to have heightened senses or what? I mean shesh ..."
Hotaru smirked at Mikan as she sat down, "That was a little harsh."
"Shut up, and we're going to central town later."
"We are?" Hotaru's right eyebrow arched.
"Yes ... I need a new dress."
Natsume, who had been listening to their conversation, smiled lightly to himself. His face was covered with his usual manga so it went unnoticed.
Hotaru asked no more questions, she looked away from Mikan to notice everyone staring at them.
She looked back a little surprised and Mikan noticed their gaze as well, "Got a problem?!"
They all jumped from her sudden harshness and looked away. Hotaru gave Mikan a small smile and Mikan totally forgot about her "new" character and grinned back.
Only two pairs of eyes saw this, Natsume and Ruka. Ruka suddenly got up from his seat without thinking.
He walked towards Mikan and stopped in front of her table. "S-Sakura...?" He blushed and stammered.
Noticing how uncomfortable he was, she took pity on her good friend and let a small smile spread across her cute face. She spoke gently compared to before, "Yeah?"
"I was wondering if you didn't already have plans ... If you'd like to go to the graduation dance with me?" Ruka's blush deepened as he finished.
Everyone turned their heads slightly to listen in to her answer, she couldn't help but smile at the bashful boy, she tried to hide it but it was no use.
This confused everyone completely.
There was a very long silence. Mikan smiled a little wider before she said, "Sorry Ruka, someone already ... Well what i mean is, i already made plans for it."
Ruka looked up from his shoes when he heard her gentle tone, she was still smiling at him softly; it warmed his heart to the core.
"Don't worry about it, maybe next time?" He grinned at her, she nodded back.
"Definitely." Ruka smiled once more and then turned and returned to his seat, an amused Natsume was smirking.
Mikan noticed it was directed at her and so she scowled back at him she then turned her attention to the window.
Hotaru leaned closer to her and whispered quietly, "You are explaining everything later." Mikan didn't look at her but she nodded.
Classes were over quickly and Hotaru and Mikan now sat on the central town bus, Mikan was telling her entire story to Hotaru.
She went through everything from the day Natsume insulted her to the day that he told her that she was going to the dance with him.
When she was finished she let out a huge sigh so glad to get it all off her chest, she was glad to drop her act and feel relaxed.
Hotaru on the other hand, was completely and utterly amused. "So basically you did all of this to prove a point to Hyuuga?"
Mikan blushed at her conclusion but couldn't deny that what she had stated was indeed her main goal.
Hotaru shook her head a little and muttered, "Idiot."
They then climbed off the bus and entered the bustling town centre. They soon spotted a fancy looking dress shop, Hotaru dragged Mikan to it.
The shop was called Central Image; the dresses in the window were beautiful shades of amber gold and brilliant lilacs.
A friendly shop assistant greeted them warmly, "Hello and welcome to Central Image, how may i help you?"
Mikan was about to start describing her dream dress but Hotaru towed her away and began looking through shelves of dresses.
"Hotaru that was mean!" Mikan pouted cutely, Hotaru rolled her eyes.
"I know exactly what i'm looking for; i don't need some hippo's help. Plus, you need to keep your "character" in check at all times."
Mikan sighed but said no more.
Hotaru searched around the store for a while, Mikan just wandered around playing with the accessories and things.
After a while Hotaru walked to Mikan with two dresses in her arms, "We're buying these, you have no choice i know what looks good."
Mikan didn't argue fearing the baka gun that was in Hotaru's pocket, they bought the dresses and left the store with their belongings.
They went to a restaurant for some food and bought a few accessories to match the dresses, after a while they were back on the bus returning to the academy.
They walked to their dorms in silence until Hotaru interrupted it, "You never did tell me who you were going to the dance with."
Mikan immediately blushed and managed to stammer out, "N-Natsume." Hotaru nodded but didn't comment.
She had known all along that he would be the one, but just wanted it verified; she smiled gently into the dark.
The week trailed on pretty much the same, Mikan continued with her "act". Around twelve boys a day asked Mikan to the dance ,she ignored them all.
Though it was becoming such a regularity that a few of the boys' hair suddenly burst into flames ... Suspicious?
By the end of the week almost every boy was drooling over Mikan and almost every girl was terrified of the dazzling brunette.
It made Mikan a bit sad to scare them, but she wasn't going to give up just yet! She was proving her point.
Saturday finally rolled around and a very excited Mikan happily jumped up and down in her bedroom, what would the night bring?
Hope that was okay for you all, do you prefer this layout?
