Sie-sama- well there are times when the title of the chapter has something to do with the story…
Chapter 4: Strawberry Parfait
Scrumptious… very pleasing especially to the taste
"Hey wait!" she said as she was trying to keep her balance and trying her best not to tripped "Where are we going?" she asked him
But then he ignored what she said instead…
"I'm hungry" was his reply
Finally after a short moment of fast walks and dragging they finally arrive at a certain cafeteria… Mikan stared at the placed for a moment… and wondered why he needed to brig her along… but then she didn't dared to ask as she followed him… they outside where under the shade of an umbrella…
The sun was nearing to set, the clouds that surrounded it gave a very amazing color as the street lamps where lit to create a light on the pathway…
"What are you going to eat?" was the voice that took her attention away from the beautiful scenery...
Slowly she turned her gaze towards the person who was sitting across her… his raven hair swayed by the autumn's breeze that gently passed by that moment… the sun's rays touched his face… she stared at him for a moment… slowly he turned his gaze towards her… her amber orbs met his crimson ones…
"Hey..." he said as he closed the menu
"Huh?" was all that she said as she was dumbfound by his tantalizing crimson orbs
"Do I have to repeat what I have just said?" he asked her
"Ahh… no… umm…" she said as she continuously flipped the pages of the menu
Natsume being impatient gave out their order as he decided what she will have…
"You are a weird one you know that" he said to her as he gazed at the orange painted sky
A vein popped out of her forehead as she was annoyed to what he said
"Well I'm sorry fro being a weird one" she said then pulled her tongue out
"Hn" was just his simple response…
She rolled her eyes at him but all of a sudden something came up to her…
"Hey… hey… what's your name?" she asked him again
"None of your business" he said to her
Not minding what he said… she took her phone out and set it's camera on… she then went closer to him and…
"Let's take a picture… look the background is beautiful!!" she said acting like they have known each other for so long…
"Give me a break" he said to her in his usual blank tone
But unluckily for him she ignored him… instead…
"Smile" she said as it was followed by a snap shot sound…
Mikan quickly returned to her seat to its normal position…
"You should've smiled" she said to him as she stared at the photo that was taken…
She was standing close next to him and smiling beautifully while he, on the other side was not even looking at the camera… some leaves of autumn served as their background design along with the sun setting's glow…
"Whatever" Natsume said to her in his usual voice…
"Anyway at least the picture turned out fine" she said
After a short moment of wait the food arrived…
"Ehhh!!! Looks delicious… "She said then began eating the food that was served in front of her… while he, on the other hand wasn't eating anything…
She then stopped for a moment and gazed at him with wonder lingering in her head…
"Aren't you going to eat?" she asked him as she nibbled her food
"I'm not hungry" he replied to her as he was looking the other
"Calling me a weird one… now looks who is weird" she muttered
All of a sudden she heard a very sweet and beautiful voice of a girl…
"E-excuse me…" she said shyly
slowly Mikan turned her gaze towards that person… her eyes shot wide open as she saw a very pretty girl of her age… her hair was long and golden of color as her eyes were a pair of colored amethyst… the young girl was standing next to the boy who was sitting across her… it was evident… she was nervous…
"C-could I talk to you in private?" she said towards the young raven haired boy, not noticing he is with someone…
"Are you blind, can't you see I'm with someone here? Tell me what you want with me here..." Natsume said coldly towards her… his glare was frigid…
Mikan was surprise… how could someone be cold to a pretty girl like her? She thought of this but then decided not to poke her nose to their business…
"Umm… Ano can I talk to him for just a bit" the golden haired girl said to Mikan…
"No problem…" Mikan replied as she smiled at the girl…
Natsume who is obviously pissed stood up from his seat and began to distance from them… Mikan watched them in full curiosity what was going on… the girl was telling Natsume something but then there was no trace of any reaction on his face…
"Another confession…" was a voice of the waiter that took Mikan's attention
"Confession?" she asked him as she turned her gaze towards him
"Yup… I guess he is going to turn her down… but who knows… maybe someone else got his attention" the waiter replied then drifts off
"Huh? Who would turn such a beautiful girl down?" she thought as she glanced back to Natsume and the other girl…
The girl handed Natsume something but then Natsume only stared at it for a moment… he then told her something short after that the girl ran away like she was crying… meanwhile Natusme on the other hand nonchalantly walked towards his seat…
"What did you said to her?" Mikan asked him as she finished eating her food
"I'm not interested on her" he replied as if it was something that occurs naturally…
"Ehhh!!! You turned her down!! But she was so pretty…" Mikan complained
"Don't give me advices you don't even know my name" he replied coldly "Lets go" Natsume said as he noticed that she had finished her food
He then stood up from his seat and hanged his on his left shoulder… Mikan quickly grabbed her bag… when she remembered something all of a sudden…
"Hey… who is going to pay this?" she asked him
"The one who ate the food" he said to her blankly as he turned his back from her and began walking towards their dorm ahead of her
"Mao… and I thought it was a treat hmp" she said as she paid the food she ate…
Quickly after paying she tried catching up with her so called neighbor, but then he was out of sight so she was left walking alone…. Upon arrival to her room she quickly did her routines… as she finished dressing up; she decided to take her rest…
"I wonder… why he turned her down" she asked her self this question as she reached for her phone and stared at the photo that was taken before…
"They look perfect together… she was pretty and he is obviously not bad looking" she thought stilling starring at the photo when all of a sudden a rush of memories came down on her head… the happening last night….
A conclusion came inside her head…
"He must really be a gay!" she said out loud as memories of seeing him with a boy and all the moaning sounds that bothered her that night…. with gasp she thought "what a waste… tsk... tsk… who would've thought he is a homo…." she said this
She then tossed her phone under her pillows as she slowly fell into her deep slumber…
Time passed by quickly as the golden sand of time, was turned upside down again allowing the sun to be visible on the blue sky…
"Good morning!!" Mikan greeted her classmates as she arrived early for classes
Time passed by swiftly as morning classes ended hastily… The bell that signaled it was already lunch break rang… students came out of their room and hurriedly proceeds to the school's cafeteria…
"Jinno-sensei, is really scary" Mikan complained as she was walking along side with her friend Yuu
"Ahe… anyway Mikan… are you having a hard time?" Yuu asked his friend as they were walking towards the school's cafeteria…
Students passed by them as sounds of chatting ad laughing were heard across the halls….
"No… though math is really difficult" she replied to him as they entered the cafeteria…
Students from different level where eating… chatting and some where playing with their food…
"Look… Mikan they are going to serve roasted beef for lunch" Yuu said happily
It was obvious it was his favorite, but then she isn't interested even just a little… her attention where somewhere else…
"… And for dessert?" Mikan asked Yuu eagerly as her eyes where glittering
"Um… let's see…." Yuu said as he gazed towards the end part of the line, trying to have a view to the dessert that's going to be served for dessert… "Ah… strawberry parfait"
"Ehhh!! Parfait!" Mikan said as she squealed in enthusiasm "let's hurry! I want to have a taste of that Parfait!!" Mikan said as she quickly drag Yuu towards the line
It took them quite a short moment to be able to get their food… Mikan quickly searched for an empty seat for them; luckily she was able to find one…
"It looks delicious" Mikan said as she stared at the dessert in front of her
The fresh strawberry was dazzling like it was covered by honey dew as the white sweet mousse was most edible for it's perfect appearance that resemble the starry milky way as the vanilla ice cream glistens like sun touching the snow's surface as strawberry syrup was flowing down from it… mouth watering is a way to describe it…
"Ahe… Mikan… your drooling" Yuu said to his companion…
"Huh?" was just her simple reaction as he eyes where glittering in excitement to taste that dessert…
"Anyway… you should eat the main course first" Yuu as and nibbled his food
But then Mikan pouted like a little girl who is on the verge of crying…
"But I can't it will be wasted and the ice cream might melt…" Mikan said as she took the spoon and began eating her so called dessert
"Mikan you should eat the main dish first" Yuu said to her again but it was a futile attempt…
"Desserts are more impo-." she said but stopped all of a sudden when she felt her phone vibrating… "Wait… someone sent a message to me…" she said as she took out her phone…
Flipping her phone open she began silently reading the message….
"Who was it from?" Yuu asked her in full curiosity
"Hmmm… just an old friend" Mikan said
"Really?" Yuu asked again
"Yeah… here read it" she said as she handed him her phone…
But as she was passing the phone to him, her finger accidentally pressed the end call button making the message disappear… Yuu's eyes shot wide upon seeing Mikan's wallpaper… cold beads of sweat began running down his spine…
With a gulp he asked her…
"Hey... Mikan do you know who this perso-." Yuu said but before he was able to ask her that question…
"Ru-chan!!!" Mikan shouted as she quickly stood up from her seat and approached someone who was walking…
"Eh? Ru-chan?" Yuu said as he wiped the cold sweat that was running down from his head…
Her loud cheerful voice took the attention of everyone in the cafeteria, everyone has a shocked and surprised expression on their especially when they realized to whom this girl went towards to…
From a far, a young blonde haired boy was standing; his eyebrows were arched as he stared at the person who shouted a very unfamiliar name…
"Have you finished eating?" the young auburn haired girl asked him…
"Ru-chan?" was his reply wondering where that name came from
"Yeah… I'm going to call you that" she said happily
"Ru-chan sounds like a name for girls" he said to her "Don't tell me you haven't forgotten what happened?" he continued
"It doesn't matter… anyway where that snobbish friend of yours is?" she asked him
Still at the moment she has no idea who that boy is…
"Huh? Snobbish? Ahhh you mean him?" Ruka replied as he pointed towards a young raven haired boy who was standing next to him…
Slowly she turned her gaze towards him… with a cheerful smile towards him…
"Hn…" was just the raven haired boy said
Whispers began to start as soon as she made a very friendly conversation towards them…
"Who does she think she is approaching them like that?" a girl said in an envious tone
"Yeah, the nerve" another one added
But then Mikan ignored what they have said or appropriately she doesn't know she was the one they are talking about….
"God… try being friendly once will you?" she said to him
"Hey Natsume…"Ruka suddenly said as he called the attention of the raven haired boy
Mikan's eyes shot wide open as surprise attacked her… she stepped her left foot a little backward…
"Ehhh!!!" Mikan shouted as she pointed her finger towards Natsume "That Natsume Bastard is actually him!" she said in full surprise as she gaped at him
"Hey, little girl" Natsume said coolly "Be careful where you are pointing your finger, its rude you know" he continued as he placed his hands inside his pocket
Slowly Mikan turned her gazed towards Natsume, her eyebrows were arched… Her arms were folded across her chest as she muttered…
"don't tell what being rude is, when you purposely poured chocolate on someone else's head" Mikan muttered as she looked at him from head to toe, she then rolled her eyes and tilted her body a little to turn away from Natsume and Ruka's view "and besides who would've thought he is a GAY" she said quite loud this time
The minute everyone heard what she said, sounds of synchronized gasps where heard across the room as they began to whisper something in each other's ears…
"Making out with someone of the same sex…" she said as her words began to create a small fire
"Huh? What the heck…she still hasn't forgotten about that…" Ruka said to himself as he partially heard what she said
Upon hearing what she said Natsume quickly turned his gaze towards her… his glare was cold as an ice and as one of his eyebrows raised… Coolly walking towards her, he began to ask her a question but in a statement manner….
"What did you think I am" he said to her in his monotonous voice as he stopped right in front of her…
Not knowing how close he is to her she replied…
"I said I thought you were a G-." she said but she stopped all of a sudden as she felt something warm touched her lips
The whispers disappeared as the sound of gasping sounds vanished… it was a complete silence… not a single sound escaped the surprised face of the people inside the cafeteria…
her eyes shot wide upon as a tint of pink passed by her face… her heart began to race with the every second that passes by… as Natsume's lips touched hers… time seemed to pour down slow… she gazed at his eyes, only to find out he was staring directly to her orbs as a hidden smirk was seen through his eyes… With a hold on her waist and a little push towards him… he released her from his kiss…
Natsume then licked his lower lip then placed his left thumb on it…
"Hmmm… strawberry" Natsume said in his usual blank tone as he gazed at her…
At that moment Mikan open her mouth, she wanted to make a reaction upon what he just did but no words escaped it… she was left dumbfounded upon a stolen kiss… she stared at him still oblivious why he did that…
"Now tell me, what you thought of me… little girl" Natsume said to her all of a sudden as he nonchalantly placed his hands inside his pocket…
Still she wasn't able to reply… her mouth lost its capability to utter any word…
With a satisfied smirk on his face he turned his back from her and began walking the opposite direction toward exit… she followed him with her eyes still in a complete surprise… he then stopped halfway towards the exit and then tilted his head a little towards her…
"Yeah right I almost forgot" he said in his usual voice "thanks for the dessert… see yah" Natsume said as he nonchalantly gestured his hand good bye and with that he began walking towards the exit…
The next thing they heard was the closing sound of the glass door created…
Mikan's eyebrow twitched continuously as she clenched her fist tightly… hurriedly Yuu approached her… with a concerned expression...
"Mikan are you all right?" Yuu asked her
But then, she wasn't able to hear what he said, she was still lost in a haze…
"That guy" Mikan said as she was still gazing towards the exit where Natsume vanished "he stole my kiss… my first kiss" she said in a voice one can merely hear
"Ehhh… are you alright?" Yuu asked again
But still there was no reply
"My vow…" she said to herself
"Hey… snap out of it" Yuu said…
But then all of a sudden…
"Kami-sama, why are you so cruel! Why of all people him!!" she shouted
