Chapter 4: I bet you like her.
mysupermariomaurer is inspired right now. So I'm gonna update really soon.
Natsume was standing on the balcony of the senior building staring at a certain door of a classroom of the junior building when suddenly he noticed a beautiful brunette chasing after Sumire. Suddenly Sumire turned and pointed at him causing the brunette to turn. He stared at that face for a while until she entered that room. Maybe she's a new student. Natsume thought. But she knows Sumire.
Meanwhile in that classroom, the teacher entered.
"Sakura, they need you at the gym." Mikan stood up and ran to the gym. When she arrived she saw the cheerleaders practicing. The coach saw her and approached her with a smile.
"Oh, Sakura-san. Imai-san sent this video of you, and listed you in my squad. From what I saw here. I would like you to become the captain for this year, since we still haven't chosen one." The coach said.
Mikan was speechless. This was what she always dreamed of. She was going to be the cheer captain. It was unbelievable.
"S-sorry, coach. You want me to be what?" Mikan asked again.
"I want you to be the cheer captain of our school." She repeated smiling. Mikan suddenly jumped from joy, she was so happy that after thanking the coach she ran to her classroom shouting that she was the new cheer captain. Her classmates laughed at her reaction when suddenly her teacher coughed.
"Ehm, Miss Sakura. I'm really happy for you, but I'm teaching." Mikan suddenly became quiet and bowed at her teacher before going back to her seat.
"Mikan, you did it." Sumire whispered.
"I know." Mikan cheerfully replied.
"Now, you'll be at the top Mikan!" She said.
Mikan smiled and hugged her friend.
"Thanks for helping me." She said smiling.
Finally the bell rang. Suddenly the speaker started to speak.
"Late morning to all my beloved students. To all the Snow White cast, please proceed to the theatre now. Your attendance is a must. Have a nice recess!" The said students sighed and lazily went to the theatre. Hotaru and Mikan were already there seated at the edge of the stage with Narumi-sensei, they were talking about how she changed and how her role fits her now. Finally the others arrived.
Natsume entered the theatre and the first thing he saw was that girl. Why is she with Imai? And where's Mikan? He thought. He walked towards Hotaru, still staring at the brunette sitting next to her.
"Oi, Imai." He greeted.
"Stop staring at her, baka. She might melt." Hotaru teased causing Mikan to blush. Natsume suddenly turned to her with a glare.
"Where's she?" Natsume asked.
"You mean Mikan?" Hotaru asked.
"Hn." Natsume replied. Mikan's eyes widened. Thought he was my best friend! He didn't even recognize me! Is he that stupid? Mikan thought.
"She's here, baka." Hotaru replied.
"Here? Where?" Natsume asked raising his eyebrow.
"Here." She finally replied pointing at the girl he was staring at earlier.
"B-b-aka?" Natsume said in disbelief. Mikan nodded which caused Natsume to laugh.
"This is Mikan Sakura? Yeah, sure. Like I would believe. I know her very…" Suddenly he noticed Mikan's necklace.
"This is Mikan!" He repeated. Mikan hit him with the microphone on his head. She stood and walked near him. When she was next to him she lowered her head and whispered.
"Moron." Natsume looked at her. She looked sad but before he could say anything, she immediately walked to the backstage.
"Common, guys stop chatting. Let's practice now. Go and change. Go! Go!" Narumi ordered.
Tsubasa was behind the stage practicing his lines, when suddenly Mikan came out wearing her princess dress. Tsubasa suddenly stopped and stared at the brunette. Mikan noticed it and raised her head and when she saw Tsubasa she smiled at him causing him to blush.
"M-mikan?" Tsubasa said.
"Finally someone recognized me immediately." Mikan sarcastically said.
"Wow. You're beautiful." Tsubasa complimented her. Mikan chuckled and punched him playfully.
"And you call yourself a princess?" Tsubasa said laughing. Mikan smiled and stole from his hands the script.
"Hey, Mikan give it back. I'm still memorizing my part!" Natsume suddenly noticed the two playing with each other. He walked towards them and glared at Tsubasa.
"Ehm, we're here to practice, right?" Natsume said. The two stopped and suddenly looked at him with a weird look.
"What's your problem, little dwarf?" Tsubasa said laughing. Natsume then remembered what he was wearing. He covered his face with his hand and glared at Tsubasa again.
"Don't you find him cute, Mikan?" Natsume suddenly looked at her, he was waiting for her to answer. But instead of answering Mikan just raised her eyebrow and turned her back and walked to Hotaru.
"Woe, that was cold…" Tsubasa commented. "From her look, she must be really mad at you. What did you do this time, little dwarf?" he added.
Natsume got pissed off and just left him. "Oi, man. What's your problem? You can tell me you know? You're my best friend." Tsubasa said.
"Just leave me alone for now." Natsume replied coldly.
Finally everyone started practicing. They laughed at their mistakes and kept practicing different scenes. Narumi kept ordering and shouting at the boys, but everything was okay. Finally it was the last scene, where the prince has to kiss Snow White. Mikan was laying on a floral bed positioned at the center of the stage with all the dwarfs and animals around.
"When I say action, be ready to kiss her." Narumi said. Mikan was already blushing and Natsume noticed it.
"Action!" Narumi suddenly said.
Tsubasa walked to her and looked at her angelic sleeping face. Natsume, on the other hand was watching the two with an annoyed look.
"Oh, you're so beautiful. I have to kiss you." Tsubasa said. Before leaning down to kiss her Tsubasa glanced at Natsume who was really annoyed. Tsubasa smirked and finally leaned down to kiss her. When they were already close to each other the bell suddenly rang, which caused Mikan to stand from the bed. Tsubasa sighed, while Natsume smirked as he immediately walked out from the theatre. Mikan was still blushing and immediately ran to the dressing room.
"Okay, my dear students time to go. Just wait for my announcements. Bye." Tsubasa finally stood and also went out.
Damn, that bell. Tsubasa thought smirking before running to look for Natsume.
Natsume jumped and lied on a branch of a sakura tree, still thinking about what happened.
"That was Mikan." He thought aloud.
"Yes, that was Mikan." Tsubasa suddenky said as he jumped on the branch.
Natsume suddenly sat and looked away.
"So, what do you think of Mikan?" Tsubasa asked.
"What are you talking about?" Natsume said still looking somewhere else.
"You know what I'm talking about." Tsubasa replied laughing.
"She's ugly as always." Natsume lied.
"So, she's beautiful. I know you very well Natsume you always mean the opposite." Tsubasa teased.
"Not, this time." Natsume denied.
"So, I know you like her Natsume. As much as I like her. But if you admit it now, I could help you get her." Tsubasa said smilinmg evilly.
"Stupid." Natsume replied coldly, this time glaring at him.
"So, it wouldn't bother you if I go and court her now, right?" Tsubasa asked.
Natsume remained quiet he was thinking about what he really felt for Mikan, if it was love or a just a friendship relationship.
"I'll take your silence as an agreement." Suddenly it hit him. Natsume stood up and kicked Tsubasa down the tree.
"Aww… I got it." Tsubasa said laughing nervously. "Maybe I should've used another way to make you admit it."
"Hn." Natsume just replied and walked away.
"Oi, wait." Tsubasa called running behind him.
"Mikan, are you okay? You've been quiet since we finished practicing." Hotaru asked.
"No, it's nothing Hotaru." Mikan replied faking a smile.
"I know it's about Hyuuga again." Hotaru said in a very cold voice.
"No, really it's nothing. Maybe I need some rest. I'll see you Hotaru." Mikan said running to her room.
"Ah, okay. Oh, hey Mikan! Before I forget, your cheerleading practices will start tomorrow. Sleep well, Mikan!" She shouted and Mikan nodded.
Hope you liked it. Later Chapter 5. ;DD
