A Choice and a Decision

Chapter 4 Italicized words are thoughts…

"Class dismissed." Mr. Narumi ended the class. The students started to run.

"Mikan!" Kurumi called Mikan.

"Why?" Mikan answered with a question.

"Wanna hang-out with me?"

Mikan looked at Natsume for a second and she saw him looking at her with an angry face.

"Thanks but no thanks."

"Why? Is it because of Natsume?"

"What? Of course not."

"Then let's go."

Kurumi held Mikan's hand and went out of the room. While inside the room…

"Natsume, didn't you notice?" Ruka asked.

"Notice what?"

"Your ex-girlfriend became friends with your girlfriend?"

"What are you saying?! Shut up or someone will hear you."

"I'm sorry but…"

"What do you want me to do? Stop them?"

"That's not what I meant but don't you think Mikan will…"

"Mikan has a mind of her own. Trust her."

"But Natsume… Oh well, ok."

Now let's see what Mikan and Kurumi are doing…

"Mikan, let's go buy ice cream." Kurumi said while pulling Mikan to the ice cream cart.

"Ice cream?"

"Yeah."

"Well, I guess it's ok."

"C'mon."

"1 strawberry ice cream please." Mikan ordered.

"Your favorite?" Kurumi asked.

"Yeah. How about you?"

"I really like mango but 2 chocolate ice cream please." Kurumi ordered.

"Two?" Mikan asked.

"Yeah. Natsume's favorite is chocolate. Since then, chocolate also became my favorite."

"You really know many things about him."

"Of course. We're childhood friends. I should know everything about him."

"Umm.. Yeah, you're right."

You'll see Mikan. Natsume will be mine!

"C'mon Mikan. Let's go to Natsume before this ice cream melts."

The two went to Natsume's room.

"Natsume!" Kurumi shouted. "Here's an ice cream for you. It's chocolate. Your favorite."

"I don't like chocolate stupid. I hate it." Natsume said.

"But you like it when we're young."

"Yeah, but now (looking at Mikan's ice cream), I already like strawberry. Right Mikan?"

"Umm yeah." Mikan answered.

"Look!"

Mikan, you'll pay for this!

"Umm, guys, I have to go."

"Why?" Natsume asked. "You can stay here if you like.

"I just.. Umm, I just wanna go see Hotaru."

"Hotaru?" Kurumi asked. "Oh, that invention girl."

"Yeah, that's her. Ok, I'll go."

Mikan left them then oh! Kurumi slapped Natsume!

"What do you think you're doing Natsume?"

"Why? What do you think I'm doing?"

"I know it Natsume! I know it! Mikan is your girlfriend."

"That idiot told you?"

"No! I heard you! I can't believe, she's the one that you love considering the fact that we're childhood friends."

"We are but as you say, it's when we're still children! Can't you see? I don't love you anymore!"

Kurumi cries. "Natsume, I can't believe you're doing this to me."

"Stop crying. Even if you cry a flood, I will still not love you. You know whom I love so don't ever expect that I will still love you."

Kurumi stops crying. "Ok, if I can't have you, NOBODY CAN HAVE YOU!" Kurumi went out of the room. Especially that Mikan!
