CHAPTER 7th: HERE COMES THE STORM
"Hey Natsume" called out Ruka from his seat while enjoying a box of cheddar cheese flavoured popcorn.
"Hn" Natsume simply answers not bothering to look up to his best friend's face as he's too focused hitting some buttons on his X-Box console, he's competing against Mochu in some unrealistic karate fight game
"What happened between you and Sakura?It seems like you two have been avoiding each other" Ruka asked with a sly tone, causing Natsume to lose control of his warrior in the game for a while and dropped the X-Box console
"Shit" Natsume snapped back into reality and hurriedly picks up his console before Mochu's character starts to beat the crap out of his.
"I know there's something wrong. You know Natsume, Mikan-chan is a good girl, you shouldn't be playing with her like you did with other girls" Yuu suggested
Natsume's eyebrow twitched and suddenly he stands up from his seat, switching off the TV and throws away his xbox console on the sofa. He's furious, how could his bestfriends think that he's messing with Mikan?
"I'm not playing with her" He said firmly with a hurt look on his face. His bestfriends change glances and then grin towards each other
"So, you really like her?" Ruka said with a smirk, he dispose a bag of empty popcorn bag from his lap and then take a sit closer to Natsume to hear more of his story
"I can't believe it! Natsume would eventually fell for a girl, finally!" Koko said with his goofy grin and leaned towards Natsume
"Whoa, dude! You like her? It means that you've lost the bet! I can't wait to see THE Natsume Hyuuga in a maid uniform and serves me tea" Mochu laugh out loud followed by his bestfriends. Natsume, being a short tempered hottie, burst out of anger, he clenched his fists and bangs the coffee table in front of him, causing the whole room to vibrate and shut his bestfriends into silence
"Shut the hell up, I do NOT like her" Natsume shouted, emphasizing on the 'not'.
His bestfriends shivers and stay quite for a while, Ruka approaches him and then pat him on the shoulder, trying his best to calm him down.
"Chill dude, we're joking" Mochu said nervously, Ruka and the others nodded and walks closer towards Natsume to apologize before he kicks them in the balls, Natsume is like a lion when he's mad, really, his shouts are like roars.
" Tch, whatever" Natsume said, avoiding the apologetic looks from his bestfriends. No one can utter a word, causing them to stay quite until Yuu broke the silence with quite a brave line
" But Natsume, you should really go for it if you like her" Yuu said, he instantly got the you-are-a-dead-meat from his best friends
" Yeah, we would be dreaming to make you our slaves because you'd kill us first, dude" Mochu said, chuckling a bit
"I'm not chickening out" Natsume simply answered
"We know. You're a real man who won't swallow his own words but only jerks who won't chase their dreams and love" Koko said firmly with a rare serious look on his face, causing his friends to gape at him. Mochu, Yuu and Ruka burst out laughing and Natsume only smirk slightly
"Well-said! You heard what he said, Natsume. Just take your time and think what's the best for you" Ruka said smiling at Natsume
"Yeah Natsume, but remember Natsume, you can't think forever" Yuu said
Natsume processed his friends' advices on his head and then only smirk lightly at them "Quit being so sappy guys, I'm hungry, let's ordered a pizza" He then said to melt down the cold and tense situation. His friends then laugh and ruffle his messy raven hair, you can tell that he's not quite pleased but let his friends to ruffle his hair anyway just this time thanks to their inspiring suggestions.
Remind me how friendship could be so wonderful
Mikan buttoned up her shirt up to the collar, braid her brunette locks with a boring black hair tie and slip her feet into a pair of dull black leather shoes. She then puts on her eyeglass and then grabs her bag, ready for school.
It's a murky Monday morning and Mikan's feeling as gloomy as the weather, the idea of Natsume has been avoiding her after that incident for a week really confused and made her sad, even when she tried to greet him every morning he'd just ignore her. Mikan walks out of her apartment and then locks her door. She makes her way to the bus and hop into it, she plugged in her earphone and shuffle a song from her iPod touch, letting herself drown in the music, wishing to forget her problems even just for a 3 goddamn minutes.
A few minutes later, the bus arrived in Gakuen Alice school ground, Mikan stepped out of the bus and then run towards her classroom, not forgetting to put on her big grin before entering the class. As she walks into the class, Mikan sees Hotaru and the gang sitting on their chair, Mikan walks towards them and take her seat
"Morning everyone!" Mikan greets her bestfriends cheerfully
"Morning Mikan" Replied the others
"Still having the cold war with Hyuuga?" Anna asked while muching her cookies she baked this morning
"What did he do to you exactly? Last week he completely into teasing you and make fun of you but now he's completely different!" Nonoko said while copying some maths homework from Hotaru's book
"That's Natsume-kun to you, he treats girls like trash. After he's bored he'll just dump you somewhere like a shit. If only he knew that you are.." Sumire said in annoyed tone but Mikan cut her sentence off
"Ssshh, don't talk about it here. Natsume must have a good reason for doing that and don't talk trash about him, permy!" Mikan said, offended
Hotaru eyed her bestfriend and caught a glimpse of sadness in her eyes
"You really like him, don't you?" Hotaru asked. Mikan only stares at Hotaru's purple orbs, she's about to answer her statement honestly but she's interrupted by a creaking sound of the classroom door, 5 guys walk into the class. Ruka, Koko,Mochu and Yuu greets their girlfriends while Natsume only stared at Mikan for a while, Mikan realized that he has been staring at her so Mikan gives him a warm smile and mouthed a 'good morning' for a greeting. Natsume only smirk at her and then took his seat at the back. Mikan blushes hard, even though it's just a smirk, at least Natsume isn't ignoring her anymore.
When the school bell rings, twirls into the class with his favorite Tutu. He looks so content and in high spirits. He twirls until he reaches the middle of the class "Good morning my beloved students! I'm glad to inform you that we have a new student today!" He said joyfully
The whole class started to chatter, the girls hoped that it would be a handsome guy, the boys hoped that it would be a hot girl but of course, both girls and boys hoped that it wouldn't be someone like Mikan. Narumi is happy to see the excitement among his students "Okay, let's call him in. Come here, dear!" He said sickeningly in a loving way.
A few moments later, a gorgeous dirty blonde haired guy with a tall and well-built figure entered the class. The whole female population started to squeal in delight. His emerald orbs enchanted most of the girls but not a group of girls (Mikan and the gang) who are busy gossiping at the corner of the class, but not until he introduced himself.
"Good morning, my name is Akira Shoji. I'm transferred from the United States. Nice to meet you all" the guy said with a calm yet cheerful tone. Hearing this 5 syllable name, Mikan gasped in shock and quickly stands up from her seat in an unbelievable look on her face
"Did you just say Akira? Akira Shoji?" Mikan gasped in bewilderment. Her friends and Natsume and his gang looked at her in curiosity.
Akira eyed the hideous looking brunette that's standing on her seat. He observes her figure really closely until he founds out who's exactly the brunette is.
"M-Mikan-sama?" Akira said in shock. The awfully dressed girl who's standing there is THE girl he transferred here for, THE girl who rejected him before, THE girl whose heart he's struggling to win, THE Mikan Sakura.
Akira's shocked face suddenly turn into a happy expression, he walks towards Mikan's direction
"W-what are you doing here, Akira? Don't tell me that you.." Mikan stuttering. Akira only smiled and hushed Mikan by putting his index finger on her lips
"I come here to win your heart, Mikan-sama. I won't give up" He said, then he hold Mikan's hands and kiss it lovingly. Mikan gasped and so does the whole class. Hotaru and the girls gape at both of the figures trying to figure out what in the world is happening, Ruka and the boys could only sweatdropped and Natsume? He's clenching his fists right now, the urge to kill a certain someone is really obvious, he showered the poor new guy with a sea of killing aura.
Whoever this guy might be, he's going to regret for kissing MY polka's hands like that Natsume thought with a cold expression plastered on his face.
Uh-oh, here comes the storm..
