Seventh Leap: Trouble is a Friend

"What is the meaning of this?"

All heads were turned to the tall man that suddenly barged in the cafeteria, Jinno-sensei.

He was heading our direction, knowing full well that we were the cause of this ruckus. His nose was snarled and he had his stick on his hands, almost in a way that suggests beating.

And the next thing I knew, we were dragged to the Principal's office, uhh, I mean my Uncle's office.

Boy, am I in big trouble now.

"…and from what I have heard from the other irresponsible students, these two are the main cause of it." Jinno ended his long speech with a slam on Uncle's desk but Uncle seemed unaffected, in fact he had his hands below his chin – perfectly looking bored.

"And I suppose you want me to do something?" I could've scoffed at my Uncle and I could see that Luna was trying to hold up her smirk. It was pretty obvious that both of us were entertained by Uncle's carefree attitude.

"Principal Yukihara-san, they just violated school regulations! They started a… a…"

"Food fight." I interjected and Jinno-glared at me but agreed on my term anyway. "Yes, that barbaric activity. They started the mess that Matsukira-san the janitor would clean for the whole week! You should at least put them to detention if not sentence them to community service!" I winced at the sound community service. Luna seemed to not like the idea of cleaning either because she had her eyes wide open in disgust when Jinno-sensei said those two despicable words.

Besides, she wouldn't want to break a nail now, would she?

I looked at Uncle for any sign of hope… or betrayal and what I saw made me scowl. He was actually considering it! I waited for a few more seconds, trying to give him the signals to give us detention instead but he didn't get it, or maybe he did but he just wanted me to suffer. "Alright then, I made up my mind. I'm sorry girls but you are sentenced to two weeks of community service." Sentenced to community service, that's like telling us we're sentenced to death! Okay, so maybe I'm exaggerating a little too much. It's just cleaning right? What could go wrong?

[o]

"Darn it Koizumi! We're here to clean, not make this place dirtier. Will you just get your big butt in here and clean?" she ignored me, as expected. She kept on chewing her gum and showing off her cleavage to the guys in the track by bending over. Damn slut and she kept on throwing her gum wrappers on the floor which we were supposed to clean!

When she threw her 3rd wrapper, my rage was on the highest level, I approached her and grab her hand harshly and dragged her to the spot I was cleaning awhile ago. I shoved the broom at her and snarled. "You better clean up your mess or else I'm going to cut that pretty blond hair of yours with the lawn scissors!" it was either I was able to threaten her or Misaki-sensei just passed by. I figured it was the latter since she didn't look that intimidated by what I said - although, I really was serious.

We spent half of the day cleaning, not even uttering a single word. The school grounds were quiet since classes were going on and it could've been a perfect day for taking a nap.

"Oh, crud." Although Luna tried to hide her curiosity, she still looked at my direction and tried to stifle her giggles but it was futile and it sounded disgusting too, almost as disgusting as the poo I stepped on. "Shut up. I'll go wash this up. Just continue cleaning."

I ran to the faucets, crossing the grassy soccer field to lose some of the crap in my shoe. This is seriously not my lucky day.

I reached the faucets in about half a minute and when I got there, I quickly took off my shoe and poured out a lot of water to it.

Guess, I would be changing uniforms.

From out of nowhere, somebody whispered "Boo." In my ear. I looked around, only to see crimson eyes and messy raven hair.

Natsume.

Well, who else would it be?

"What do you want now, Hyuuga? Aren't your feet hurting from all the strutting in heels?" he just tsk-ed at me and maintained his stance. "I was just walking by when I smelled crap." His lips tugged and formed his infamous smirk, "Should've known it was you, Sakura."

Without even thinking, I covered his mouth with my hands. Both hands for my hands were too small.

"Don't you say that in public!" I hissed. "Someone might hear, you dimwit!" while glaring at me, he removed my hands from his mouth and hissed back, "Idiot, everyone's in class. No one can hear and besides, it's not like I care if anybody found out that you were a lying bitch." He walked off, leaving me completely dumbstruck.

What he said got me thinking. He already knew that it was me. Why was he not telling the other students?

My train of thought were disturbed by Luna's screeching voice. I ran off to her direction with one foot unclothed.

[o]

"Mikan, what's up with you today?" I snapped out of my reverie at the sound of Nonoko's voice. "Yeah Mikan. What's up with you? You've been quiet ever since we got home." This time, Anna was the one staring at me with worried eyes. I smiled at them to assure them that I was alright. They didn't seem to buy it but they just kept quiet.

"Idiot. Just tell us what's bothering you already. Being quiet doesn't suit you." I smiled at Hotaru, too. Although she had her eyes on the screen of her iMac, I was pretty sure that she was concerned too.

Having guilt eating me up, I decided to tell them what's been bothering me.

"Well, you see… it's about-" I couldn't finish what I was saying because the doorbell suddenly rang.

We all had questionable looks. Who would visit us? nobody knew our address.

I ran down the stairs to get the door, beating one of the maids to do it and when I opened it up I saw a mass of blue hair and cat eyes.

It was Hayate.

Oh yeah, I forgot that I have him our address.

"Hayate? What are you doing here?" he instatntly had a big grin on his face as he invited himself in.

Talk about rude.

"Hi Anika! I just wanted to say hi to dear cool blue sky! Is she here?" I nodded, not really sure if I should tell him the truth.

"Wow! This house is amazing! I didn't know you and Cool blue sky lived in one place!" he kept on praising the interior design of our place and I couldn't help but giggle at his behavior.

He looked like a kid in Disneyland.

Loud footsteps were heard from the stairs on the left and the both of us turned our heads to that direction, almost the same time.

Down came Anna, Nonoko and certainly not the least, Hotaru.

I could only imagine what Hayate was seeing right now.

Hotaru was going down the stairs with grace, the sound of an orchestra would be played from the background. She would smile at Hayate, flip her hair and wave at him. Then she would slowly approach him and hug him.

Yep, that was obviously what Hayate was fantasizing about but too bad, it was not what happened.

When Hotaru got down from the stairs, she was grumpy and had that scowl on her face. She was probably forced by the twins to go down with them. She didn't flip her hair or wave at Hayate, in fact, she messed it up to show her annoyance and raised her middle finger on the poor boy and when she approached him, she didn't hug him. Oh, no, no, no, in fact she got her mini baka-gun from her pocket and shot him but Hayate, being lost in his own little world thought that Hotaru tackled him down by the hug.

Tsk, tsk, what a love struck boy.

"Hotaru! Why did you do that?"

I was trying to stop the laughter that was threatening to come out. Hayate was still oblivious to it all, he was still in his dream land… drooling.

Anna and Nonoko, being the darling angels they were, helped him up and that's when he snapped out of it.

"He disturbed my money time and acted like an idiot. The baka gun did it, not me." She was staring at Hayate blankly but had that cold look. Her tone remained emotionless though.

"Cool blue sky! It is such an honor to be shot by you! Please, shoot me again!" I could almost see through Hotaru's façade and see the wicked grin on her face, but before she could grab her big baka gun, I pushed Hayate to the doorway and bid him goodbye.

"Well, that was an unexpected visit. Let's just… forget that ever happened, agreed?"

"Agreed."

We went back to my room and presumed whatever we were doing before Hayate ever came.

"Mikan, you were saying something, right?" I looked back at Anna. That's right, I was saying something.

I tried to rack my brain on what it was all about, and finally I remembered.

"I remember now! It's about Natsume." they all stopped what they were doing and looked at me. Now that I had all of their attentions, I continued what I was saying. "He knows it's me right?" they all nodded their heads. "Then, why isn't he telling the other students?"

The room was quiet. That certainly got them thinking.

After a short while, Anna came up with an answer. "Maybe… he doesn't care?" I considered it for a moment but then turned it down. "Maybe but I think a better explanation would be he wants me to suffer when everybody finds out." They contemplated that fact and I could see that the twins were already buying it but Hotaru was still thinking deeply.

"He has his reasons. Just be happy that he's not telling on you." I stared at Hotaru but she didn't say anything after that. She turned her attention back to her iMac.

Reasons… what could be his reasons?

I guess I'm just going to find out sooner or later.
