I DO NOT OWN GAKUEN ALICE!

Sunday, October 31

This is the worst Halloween ever. I'm not even going anywhere. I'm going to stay and home and hand out candy, if that. I'll probably just let my dad do it. I don't want to anything but lie down, watch TV, and eat last years Halloween candy. Natsume won't stop trying to contact me. Doesn't he get that I don't want to talk to him? If I did, I would have done it by now! I want to just turn off my phone forever and throw it off a cliff, but Hotaru, Anna, and Nonoko need to reach me at all times, so they say. And to top it all off, I think I bombed my try-out. I already think that I usually do bad, and with this on my mind I think I have no chance of getting the part I want, let alone any part in the whole play! God take me now…

Hotaru, Anna, and Nonoko came over to hang out. They knew I needed my friends now more than ever. We watched a ton of movies like Enchanted and Twilight. During the movies I was trying to build up enough strength to say my realization out loud. During the third movie, I did.

"Guys…I have a problem. I think I'm in lo-love with Natsume…"

Well they sure weren't expecting that. They all froze and looked at me like I was an alien. Hotaru was the first to regain her posture and say something.

"So? What can we do about it?" Typical Hotaru.

"I know! Let's get…" Anna paused for dramatic effect. "Revenge! You know, for being such an asshole."

"Oh that's a great idea! One problem, how the heck are we supposed to do that? We don't know anything about except that he's a bastard!" Nonoko said in her trademark sarcastic tone.

"No. I'm not the type to fight fire with fire." I murmured, now in deep thought.

"Idea. Talk to him." Hotaru said.

"Oh yeah, I haven't thought of that. I was just ignoring his calls and texts to build up the suspense!" I'll admit it, I was annoyed. I've been a lot more irritable since Friday. I figured it would blow over soon enough.

"Fine. Don't listen to your best friend. In that case, I'm leaving. This is your problem, not mine." Hotaru said as she walked out of my house.

After another movie, Anna and Nonoko had had to leave. So here I was, stuck at home, lost in my thoughts. I then remembered that I'm going to have a tutoring session with Natsume tomorrow. Along with math class, that is. Man, this is not going to fun…

MONDAY…

I arrived at school early to go to guidance. I was hoping I could switch my math class to a different time. Well, no such luck. Stupid people. They said no straight out and told me to leave or I get detention! God…So now I'm stuck in English, dying. Narumi is going on and on about some grammar thing I don't care about. And worst of all, we have to take notes. And they're going to be COLLECTED! Geez Narumi, have some faith in your students! Ok, I understand that he doesn't trust me personally, for failing and all that, but the other students are doing just fine in the class and don't have to be punished. But what do I care? I jus don't want to take notes…

I had my phone out before I even got to my desk. I didn't care, its not like I was going to get caught…Man was I in an uncaring mood today or what? I think it's because I was so worried this weekend that all the small(er) things don't seem to be a big deal, or a deal at all.

Oh no. It was time for…math, the worst period of the day. I hesitated at the door, wondering if it would be better if I just skipped class altoghter, but then the teacher saw me. Damn you Mr. Jinno…He can see all I tell you! Well, all except when people pass notes. He only picks up on talking. I walked, well, sulked, into class. I sunk into my seat. Natsume was already there, but the lesson had already started, so I was safe from talking. Yay! But that didn't stop him from passing me notes. Boo…

Stripes. Talk. Now.

Oh that just makes the conversation all the more tempting, telling me my underwear pattern. Let me thin…no.

Please Mikan. Let me talk. You don't have to. Just listen.

It's on paper baka.

Hn. That's true. Well I'll write and you read. Deal?

No.

Too bad. She kissed me! I didn't even want ot be near her. Ok?

Oh yeah, you looked like you dispised it. Now do us both a favor and go to hell you bastard!

God, cut me some slack! It's not my fault. Just forget it happened.

I am fed up with him. I never responded to the note. I shoved it into my notebook and paid attention for the rest of class, which was very hard considering Natsume kept nudging me and the lesson was boring, but I did none the less.

The rest of the school day was a snorefest. I got in my car and started to drive home, but then I saw it. Natsume's Ferrari was right behing me. Oh shit! I forgot he was going to be tutoring me after school today. Shit. Shit. Shit!

I pulled up in my driveway with him right behind me. This was going to be a long hour… I grabbed my backpack and sulked to the door, with Natsume trailing behind me, I might add. I sat down on the sofa and threw my stuff next to me. Ha! Try to sit next to me now Natsume!

Well, he did. That bastard… He simply picked up my backpack, put it on the ground, and sat next to me. I got up and walked over to the oversized chair. He sighed.

"Mikan, please. Understand."

"We're here so you can help me in English, not to play games. Let's get to work."

He sighed again while pulling out his notebook. We sat on the floor across from each other so we could spread out our stuff. He kept trying to talk to me, but I made sure me stayed on topic. After about 45 minutes he was fed up. I could easily see it in his eyes, even though his face wore no emotion. He threw all his work to the side and pinned me to the ground. I did not like that, not one bit. Ok, maybe I did like it a little, but my anger was much stronger than my lust.

"Get off me. Now." I said, trying to remain calm.

"No. Not until you let me tell my side of the story." He said, emotionless as ever.

"Fuck you."

"I already told you, she kissed me. You just saw it when she did that. It was one of my fan girls. I don't even know her. You have to believe me!" He sounded sincere enough…

"And why should I?" I countered.

"Because…I…" He stammered. I knew it. He couldn't come up with a reason. I felt tears threaten to fall from my eyes. I wouldn't let him see me cry, I can't give him the satisfaction of hurting me. He's just playing with my heart. I swiftly brought my leg up so it hit him where the sun don't shine and pushed him off of me. He was kneeled over in pain, so he didn't notice that my eyes had tears in them.

"Well, the hours up. Thanks so much for the lesson." I said in a sarcastic tone.

He got up and just stared at me. I quickly turned away and went up to my room. Did he see my eyes? Did he hear the sadness in my voice? I collapsed on my bed in tears. Damn him. Unfortuatley, he didn't leave. No, he followed me up to my room. I was just to caught up in my thoughts to notice. I get lost in my thoughts a lot, don't I? He came over to my bed and just sat there, silently. It was like he was comforting me, almost. It was more like pity to me, and I didn't want him pity. Not one bit. And having him here just hurt me even more.

"CAN YOU JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!?!" I yelled through my tears. He looked extremely shocked at first, but regained his emotionless expression quickly. He got up, hands in his pockets, and left. Well, at least he can take orders, sometimes. My dad came home about an hour later, around 5 o' clock. He saw me crying. Dear God, here comes the lecture…

"Mikan! Oh, I knew we should have enrolled you on more therapy than just once a week. This is horrible…"

'Dad…Just shut up. I'm not in the mood."

"Mikan! Don't talk that way to me! I won't ground you this time, considering you're in an emotional turbine…" He walked away. I was so tempted to punch him and yell at him right now, but I resisted. I tried to contain my tears that night, but somehow they kept falling.

TUESDAY…

During homeroom, it was announced that there was going to be a field trip. To the beach! It was a present from the teachers for being the grade with the highest test grades in the country. I could easily say that I wasn't one of the students who helped reach that…but I still go to the school! That counts for something, right? Since we are only about an hour away from the beach, they thought it would be a reasonable trip. Thank God it's always warm up here, otherwise the trip would be a bust. Praise the sunny days!

Tuesday, November 2

Eep! I'm so happy! And guess what? My dad said yes to the trip! He told me it would be a good thing to get away fro the troubles of the whole "mom thing." For once, I am glad for his behavior about mom's death. But the only problem, Natsume's going to be there. Why couldn't his parents tell him no? I'll tell you why, he's a spoiled brat who gets everything he wants. That's why.

Yes! Yet another chapter done! I'm on a roll in my sick days! You know those reviews made me soooo happy that I'm starting to work on the 5th chapter right away!
I'm also writing another story so stay on the lookout for it!(my laptop isn't letting me use the internet so I can't put it up yet. T.T But when I do please read!)
