The next morning, Narumi said an important announcement, "Good morning. I just receive good news. There will be an exchange student coming from America. If he chooses to stay here in the Academy then he will become an official student in this class and will be your classmate until you graduate. Until then, we will be waiting for his arrival which will be in a few days."

After that announcement, they proceeded to their lesson. That day it seem like forever for all of them because time was very slow. "Man, that was a long day. I mean sitting all day. Good thing I did not sleep," Ruka said as he stretched his arms.

"I wonder who will be that new student. I mean Mr. Narumi said his, meaning he is a guy. I wonder if he's good looking," Anna said.

Koko coughed after drinking in the drinking fountain and said, "No fair. Why exchange me for someone you don't know?"

Then they all laugh, having a good time just practically doing nothing. Mikan and Natsume were getting closer by the day which their friends liked. Atleast, if they like each other, I know Mikan won't get hurt. Hotaru thought.

Days passed, and Mikan was always talking to Natsume, getting a little cozy with each other, "You know what, you remind me of someone, when I was young, he used to play with me, but then he left," Mikan said.

Natsume then remembered his childhood and became silent. Is she that girl? No, it can't be her.

Mikan snapped her fingers, "hey, Natsume, are you okay? Hello, earth to Natsume"

Then he came back from his reverie, "I'm sorry. I just remembered something"

"What's that?"

"Nothing. It's not important" Natsume said.

"What is it? tell me please," she looked at him with pleading eyes.

"I told you it's not important, I tell important things to the people I love, like my friends. And you are one of them," they looked into each other's eyes, silence befall on between them. They were silent for quite sometime. The silence ended only when the other's entered the scene.

"What's wrong? Why are you both quiet?" Anna asked.

"Nothing," they replied at unison.

That day, both of them thought about what happed. Mikan couldn't sleep as she was tossing and turning, finding a position so she could sleep. However, she only slept for three hours. "Damn, my head is killing me," she told herself as she walked her way to her classroom after fixing herself.

Inside the classroom, her friends was sitting altogether and chatting, "Hey Mikan, you are almost late" Anna said.

"Did you over slept again?" Ruka, Koko and Yuu said in unison.

"I guess so," Hotaru and Nonoko added.

"No. the other way, I only slept for three ours or so, and my head is really aching right now," Mikan replied.

Natsume looked at her confusingly, and when she looked at him, his eyes were focus outside of the window. I wonder why she did not get enough rest.

Before he could even start a conversation, Narumi entered the classroom.

"Good morning class, our visitor arrived last night. Let us all welcome him. Get in now," Narumi said.

As the guy entered, Mikan's eyes grew as big as a size of a plate, "Hiro?"

"You know this guy?" Hotaru asked.

Just then, the guy looked for the voice that said his name and saw her, "Mikan," he said to himself.

"Class, this is Hiro Kusanagi, he is our exchange student from America. One of our highschool students was sent to America to do the same thing. Mr. Kusanagi please introduce yourself," Narumi said.

"Hi, I'm Hiro Kusanagi, you can call me Hiro, its my pleasure to be infront of you. I hope we could all be friends and get close," as soon as he finished his statement, he looked at Mikan.

"Alright then, Hiro, please take your seat at the space there with Mikan.. Now class be nice and befriend him okay?"

HIro walked to the seat Narumi said, it was exactly beside Mikan. Natsume gave a sharp look at him.

"How are you?" Hiro started the conversation.

"I- I'm fine," Mikan stuttered.

"I miss you," was his fast reply and Mikan's face started to have red hues.

"I really miss you, Mikan," he said it as they both looked into each other's eyes while a silent raven-head looked at them silently.
