School Grounds
"HOTARU!! WAIT UP HOTARU!!" mikan kept on shouting but Hotaru wouldn't stop.
"WHAT'S YOUR PROBLEM!? YOU'RE ACTING LIKE AN IDIOT NOW!!" mikan shouted.
hotaru looked at Mikan.
"hotaru?" mikan's voice went softer.
"you wouldn't understand... cuz... YOU'RE AN IDIOT!!" hotaru shouted.
"SHUT UP HOTARU!! JUST TELL ME WHAT IT IS!!" Mikan shouted.
Hotaru stayed silent.
"i can talk to him at home about it... i bet he knows more details than you do..." mikan said and walked away.
Classroom
"you alright mikan? you and hotaru aren't talking to each other." nonoko said.
"what do you think? do i look alright?" mikan answered.
"god... she's really upset..." Anna said.
"it's cuz... hotaru started it..."koko said.
"THE HOTARU IMAI STARTED IT?! OH MY GOD!!" Anna and Nonoko shouted out loud.
"yep..." Koko said proudly.
"How... why?!" nonoko asked.
"dunno..." koko said.
"you know what... i don't know whether i should thank you or hit you, koko..." anna said with her eyes twitching out of annoyance.
"before we started fighting... hotaru told natsume 'she'll definitely hate you...' and i don't know what she meant..." mikan said.
"ex-girlfriend of natsume..." nonoko, anna, and koko said in unison.
"ex-girlfriend..." mikan asked.
"SHUT UP!! hyuuga can just tell it to Mikan at home..." hotaru suddenly shouted.
All kept silent.
Dismissal (Hyuuga Residence)
"I'm home Grandpa..." mikan entered.
"He went out..."mikan saw natsume sitting on the couch.
"y-you're early..." mikan said in a shocking tone.
"why are you so surprised?"
"you're early!"
"so?"
"it's so... WEIRD!!"
"who cares...anyway... i guess we should talk about something... about Hotaru..."
"You can't call her by her first name..."
"yes i can."
"how... you guys aren't even close..."
"how do you know..."
"you guys don't even communicate to each other..."
"how are you sure?"
Mikan stayed silent...
"right... it goes like this...It happened 3 years ago.. i was... madly in love with hotaru's sister... i could still remember her sweet smile and soft skin. For short... she was heaven for me. We've been together for 2 years... so... we broke up just last year. Why? because... i cheated her.. that's it... well... she cheated me too..." natsume explained.
"YOU GUYS ARE BOTH IDIOTS!!" mikan shouted.
"Well.. yeah...i'm an idiot in love..."
Mikan stayed silent.
"Why?"
"uhmmm that's a very low reason for Hotaru to get mad for..."
"hotaru?"
"yeah... we kinda fought over that..."
"hmmm... guess it's the other one..."
"WHAT OTHER ONE?!"

Mikan breathes in deeply and...
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!"mikan shouted.
Natsume covered his ears.
"YOU'REAMURDERERYOU'REAMURDERERYOU'REAMURDERERYOU'REAMURDERERYOU'REAMURDERERYOU'REAMURDERER"
mikan shouted. (a/n: you're a murderer X-X)
"SHUT UP!!"
"YOU ALMOST KILLED HOTARU'S SISTER!?"
"WE WERE IN THE KITCHEN THAT TIME BECAUSE WE WERE ARGUING OVER THAT CHEATING-OVER-EACH-OTHER THING!! AND SHE WAS HOLDING A KNIFE!! IT WAS LIKE THAT B.-.- WAS GONNA KILL ME!! I STRUGGLED TO GET IT FROM HER AND WHEN HOTARU SUDDENLY CAME IN THE KITCHEN, WHICH WAS REALLY A BAD TIMING, SHE SAW AND THOUGHT THAT I WAS HOLDING THE KNIFE!!"
Mikan stayed silent.
"then she literally kicked me out."
she kicked natsume out... hmm... i wonder how that would look like... Mikan thought.
"WHY ARE YOU SILENT?! DON'T THINK ABOUT THAT SCENE!!" natsume shouted.
"chill dude!!" mikan shouted and backed away slowly.
natsume suddenly calmed down.
"god... i'm never getting a boyfriend if he's like you... i'd rather pick an attitude similar to ruka's!!" mikan confessed.
for some reason Natsume felt his heart ache.
"FINE!!" natsume walked his way to the kitchen.
Mikan just stared at him.
"what is up with him?" mikan asked herself.
Before Dinner
Natsume and Ruka were alone in their room.
"What's up?" Ruka asked.
"it's weird dude..."
"what is?"
"this feeling..."
"YOU'RE THE ONE WHO'S WEIRD!!"
"shut up and listen to me!!"
Ruka kept quiet.
"thank you... it's about... our... uhm... 'pet'"
'''pet'? you mean mikan? what about her?"
"when she told me she wanted a boyfriend with an attitude like yours for some unknown, strange, and weird reason i felt my heart ache or something like that..."
"this is not showbizz dude and i am not Oprah Winfrey from the US or Boy Abunda from the Philippines..."
"THIS IS NOT FUNNY RUKA!!"
" four words bro... YOU ARE IN L-O-V-E!!"ruka shouted.
"DUDE!! CAN'T YOU THINK OF A BETTER ANSWER TO MY PROBLEM!?"
"nope..."
