ashleefen—She does that when she's not wearing her prefect tie, and she doesn't wear that during recess or after school, and the teachers and principal forgive her because they understand that it's a pain to have so many annoying wolf-whistles. Thanks for the review!

Yemi Hikari—Yep, kinda, because this is not in the Gakuen Alice setting, so I have to change their characters a little, but making Natsume sappy and cheerful is a no-no for me! Haha! Thanks for the review!

Thanks, you all! Well, let's get ahead with the detention!
Chapter 4: It's his fault, I tell you!
Mikan sighed as she sat in her seat. She gazed out of the window. She couldn't believe that fate could be so cruel. Her prefect reputation was ruined, thanks to her best friend. What was worse was that she was trapped in this stuffy room with a guy called Hyuuga Natsume.
Boy, did life suck or what. She hated the way he'd always smirked at her whenever she'd give him one of his secret glares. She glanced over her shoulder again. Sure enough, he was staring right back at her. She gave him the hardest glare she could muster as of the moment, and to her fury, he merely smirked at her. She narrowed her eyes, and tried to calm down the volcano that was more than willing to erupt at the moment. Mikan turned back in her seat and started reading her book. She and the idiotic guy were the only people in the room, and she resented Narumi for that.
Natsume was frankly rather surprised when he found out she wasn't the type to swoon or drool or melt into a puddle upon seeing a hot guy. She's worthy of being the head prefect. He admitted to himself, as he gazed at her slim back while she was reading a book. She's perfect in everything; She doesn't fall in love with guys for fear they might distract her (Though I doubt it.), She has perfect grades, great at sports, helpful and cares for her friends. She's something you hardly see these days. Natsume mused quietly, amazed at her character.
A while later, he was getting bored, so he leaned across the table and whispered in her ear, "Boo!" As expected of the head prefect, she didn't move an inch and didn't seem to be freaked out at all, so he moved back to his seat, bored to death, till he saw her turning her head slowly towards her. He thought she was going to glare at him or call her stupid, but was stunned to see her face completely white and drained of all emotions but one: utter fear.
She swallowed slowly, and attempted to whisper, but only managed to force out some words in a hoarse voice, "You… jerk." To tell the truth, Natsume was totally surprised to see her freaked out to this stage, as he thought she was perfect and everything, but he'd managed to prove one of her weakness: She was scared of sudden noises and whispers.
Mikan closed her eyes and slowly, her body hit the floor in her weakened and freaked-out state. "Damn." Natsume muttered under his breath, as he gazed at Mikan, who had fainted due to fright.
She was going to yell at him when she woke up, and he was certain about it. Talk about phobias. Natsume gazed around the classroom, and realized the teacher in charge of them had locked them in, for fear that they may try to escape. There was no way to bring the brunette to the hospital, so the raven-haired boy merely sat down and read one of his favourite mangas to kill time.
One hour later, Mikan regained consciousness, and recalled what had happened earlier. "HYUUGA YOU IDIOT!!" That did it. The volcano finally erupted, after much anticipation from Natsume. She fumed and sat up right. The idiot was going to get it. After standing up from the floor, she dusted her skirt and walked up to him.
She attempted to punch him, but not surprisingly, he caught it. Thus, the wrestling match ensued. Just when Mikan was about to manage to slash her penknife across his wrist, the classroom door opened, and Narumi skipped in cheerfully, exclaiming that detention was over. Mikan could have killed him; after all, she was just about to kill the person who made her life a living hell, he barged in.
Narumi's jaws dropped upon seeing their position on the floor. Apparently, in Mikan's unconsciousness, she'd rolled over on top of Natsume, and the worse part was that her legs were in between his. What a disaster. She reflected just at the horrible moment, Let's just kill this eye-witness and get it over with. Who knows? I might feel slightly better, knowing that the only eye-witness was gone, and nobody could possibly spread this scene across school. After all, nothing really happened between us. My life would be worse than a living hell if people across the school heard about this, especially if it reached the ears of a girl called Koizumi Luna and Shouda Sumire. Plus, everyone would be happy that this gay was no longer around to mess with our heads with his stupid Alice. So why don't I just charge over to him and plunge my penknife which I'm holding right now in my hand into his heart?
Apparently, not only was the guy a gay, but also a freaking gossiper. By the end of the day, everyone in school knew about Natsume and her private relationship (Like it even existed in the first place), ranging from the principal (who lectured her on her not associating with idiots like Hyuuga Natsume) to the teachers and finally, to the whole student body.
Oh, Kami-sama could be so sadistic. And right now, she was sitting at her lunch table together with all her friends (NOT including Natsume and Ruka), which marked the beginning of all the gossips that were about to fly through the air of the cafeteria. This is it, Kami-sama. Mikan smiled bitterly, munching on her tuna sandwich. All the years I spent learning the school rules just so I could be a prefect, and the reputation I had earned from being a prefect. All of it is going down the drain. And now all the positive views about me is about to change into negative ones. Are you happy now, you sadistic idiot?!
"Mikan, is it true that you are going out with Natsume? I thought you hated him!" Nonoko asked cheerfully. Mikan held up the picture, trying to explain to her friends, and the whole student body pricked up their ears and listen attentively.
"See, this penknife I had in my hand? He annoyed me so much that I wanted to kill him, so I was about to slash his wrist, Narumi came barging and there you go."
"But that doesn't explain the position!" Kimi Saeki protested, and came up with a really lame analogy that Mikan thought she was a fool. "I know! Maybe you wanted to kiss him, but he didn't want to, so you pushed him down, and held out the penknife and threatened to kill him if he didn't agree to kiss you?"
"Hey, that's possible!" A random girl from one of the tables at the back of the cafeteria spoke up, and everyone started to agree. Mikan groaned. Where on earth did her dominance go? She used to be able to control all the students with one snap of finger before HE came, but apparently, he was her jinx. The bane of her life.
"It's his fault, I tell you." Mikan sank down in her seat, as her friends looked at her sympathetically. Rumors that Sakura Mikan, the head prefect of Gakuen Alice had fallen for the campus hottie, Hyuuga Natsume. Oh joy. Another reason for Mikan to scream in everyone's faces. Hadn't she had enough problems already? Having to deal with that stupid jerk, and to keep that lunatic Koizumi's mouth shut. Geez, life was cruel. Oh, yes. Very cruel.
