CHAPTER 4: I would definitely do anything
It was a bright Tuesday morning as Michi woke up only to see that her sister was not there anymore.
"Oh. Maybe she already left early to get her diary back." She thought as she started doing all of her routines in the morning.
Meanwhile…
Mikan is currently seated inside their room. It was only 7:00 and their class starts at 8:30. She usually comes to class at 7:30 but today, she was early. An hour early to be exact. She sat there in silence as she yawned while she waiting for a certain flame wielder to arrive.
"Oh great. Even if I slept early yesterday, I still feel sleepy. I guess I will never get used to waking up early every single day. I just hope that Natsume will arrive soon. I even came to school early just so that I would be the very person to talk to him and because I wanted to make sure that he didn't tell anyone about what was written on my diary." She thought as she heard some footsteps out the hallways as a Natsume Hyuuga entered the room. "Oh, speaking of the devil."
"Polka Dots?" He asked in disbelief as he saw Mikan sitting already at her desk. "Tch. She even came to school early today. I guess that she already realized that her diary is with me." He thought.
"Ohayo Natsume!" Mikan greeted cheerfully.
"What are you doing here? It's way too early for an idiot to b in class already." Natsume stated as he was cocking his eyebrow at Mikan.
"Uhm… I just wanna talk to you. That's all." Mikan replied sweetly.
"I presume that you wanna talk to me about this?" He said as he held out a pink notebook from his bag.
"Uh-huh!" Mikan said as she was plainly staring at it.
"You know, I have read parts of your diary and I found it very interesting. Who knew that someone like you would be able to write something this much?" Natsume said with a smirk written all over his face.
"You read it?!? You are so invading my privacy already!!! Why'd you even do that?!" Mikan screamed.
"What do you expect me to do? Leave it lying on the hallway and let other people read it for me??? You should be thanking me since I even picked it up." Natsume retorted.
"Whatever, Natsume. Could you just give it back to me?!" Mikan yelled as she reached for the diary. Her chair got a bit wobbly and unfortunately, she fell flat on the floor.
"Awww!" Sh said as she quickly stood up and dusted her skirt. "Oh great. This is so not my lucky day. First, Natsume read every part of my diary, I fell flat on the floor, and he won't even want to give it back." She thought.
"Are you done fixing yourself now, Polka Dots? Have you forgotten that I'm still here?" Natsume stated with his famous smirk still on his face.
"I will do anything! Just give it back to me." Mikan said as Natsume's eyebrow rose up. "Anything?" He asked. "Yup. Anything. Just give it back and don't tell anyone about what you have read."
"Good. Sumire humiliated me in front of the whole class and academy my two timing me with Mochu." Natsume started.
"So?" Mikan asked.
"I can't just let her get away with it just like that. I have to be the one who will be dumping her and not the other way around." Natsume explained.
"So?" Mikan asked again. "What the heck would I even do with this thing? I'm not even included in their little relationship."
"To get that ugly hag back, I need a new girlfriend to make her feel jealous and that to make her regret that she dumped me. That way, she would be running back to me asking for my forgiveness and that if we could be together again."
"So?" Mikan asked for the third time.
"So, I need someone to pretend to be my new girlfriend. And to make things short, that would be you." Natsume explained as if he was talking to a first grade student.
"What?!" Mikan asked in disbelief. "BE Natsume Hyuuga's girlfriend?! Is he insane or what?! Onegai. I would do anything except for that one." She thought. "Why me? Why can't you just choose any other girl? There are loads of girls who are dying to be with you."
"Don't flatter yourself just by thinking that I have chosen you from all of the other girls in this academy." Natsume said coldly as he looked at Mikan from head to toe. "I know very well that there are really a lot of girls who wants to be with me but I don't want an innocent little girl to fall for me and then get hurt in the end. I'm not as cold-hearted as you think I am."
"Gee. You are sooooo nice!" Mikan said sarcastically. "What would I do? I don't wanna lie to people even more. I'm already lying to the two important people in my life and those are Hotaru and Ruka. I've been keeping my feelings from them for so long already. I don't wanna make things worse." Mikan thought. "NO. I will not pretend to b your girlfriend, Natsume. That's way too harsh."
"No???" he repeated while cocking his eyebrow. "You know very well that I can tell what I have read from your little diary to Ruka, or even Imai. I could even show it to them as proof if ever they won't believe me." he continued as his smirk appeared again.
"Waaaahhh! Fine! I agree to be your stupid pretend girlfriend! Just don't you dare say a word about it and don't show anyone my diary!" Mikan said in defeat. "This guy is as good as Hotaru when it comes to blackmailing people. *sigh*"
"Good." Natsume said. "We'll go to El Patio later after class to talk about out little partnership. You better not go home early Polka Dots or else you know the consequences."
"Whatever." Mikan replied.
MIKAN'S POV
Waaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!! This is the worst day of my life!! I can't believe that I actually agreed on what that meanie has said! Why is fate so cruel to me?! I didn't wanna be his pretend girlfriend but my life would be at stake it I wouldn't do it. *sigh*
Now I have entered another big mess in my life. That means that I have to lie gain to peole. Oh great. Keeping my feelings for Ruka is already too much for my conscience to bear and now this one. What is a girl supposed to do this time? Desperate times calls for desperate measures. I can't just let Natsume get away with it while he has my diary. And besides, I pity him for what Sumire has done.
But he said that we will go to El Patio later. That restaurant is the most expensive one in Central Town! I have never been into that place before and I bet I can't even afford anything from that place the food they serve is so high end and not for ordinary people like me. Even if I'm already a special star like Natsume, I still don't wanna spend my rabbits unless it's really necessary. I just hope that pretending to be Natsume's girlfriend will not be that bad.
END OF POV
NATSUME'S POV
Tch. Things I do to be nearer Polka. But it was a good thing that she agreed to be my pretend girl. Huh? What the heck am I thinking?! I only have a SMALL crush on her. It's not like I love her or something. And besides, that ugly hag really humiliated me in class even though some parts of it was just part of my acting. At least, I have a reason to have some revenge on. Who wouldn't want revenge if you're the most popular guy at school and then you would suddenly get dumped by someone all because she was two timing you with someone else. I really have to get back to that ugly hag and Polka is there to make her come back to me.
This will be a piece of cake. Sooner or later, the ugly hag will beg for my forgiveness and ask of we could be together again. And once we're together again, I could dump her and get my revenge. I just hope that Polka is good at acting. Naaaah. She can handle that. She was able to hide her feelings for Ruka that long so I bet she has some experiences on pretending in one way or another.
