Feb 10

"Everyone… looks… scary…" Mikan said to herself while walking in the hallway to her classroom.

"Hey, it's that girl! The girl that held hands with Natsume in going to school yesterday." People around whispering to each other while glaring at Mikan.

After walking halfway through her classroom, Mikan can't take it anymore and started running thinking, "AHHH!! What's with all the people I was just going to school with Natsume and Natsume was the one holding my hands, it's not my fault!!"

"SAKURA MIKAN!" a voice from behind shouted.

"Uh-oh" Mikan said and quickly turned around with a big foolish smile.

"Ohayo, Jinno-sensei!"

"No running in the hallway! You should know that, young lady! This will be your warning! If I caught you again, I'll see you in detention." Jinno-sensei said holding a stick a waving it back and forth.

"H-Hai" Mikan said bowing down.

Jinno-sensei, the strictest teacher in the academy walked off and Mikan now able to sigh in relief.

Mikan went in her classroom and when Narumi sensei came the class started. During break time Mikan contacted all the members of the Rose Club to have a meeting later this afternoon at the club room. There's a little more time before breaks over so Mikan went to the garden and sit at the bench there. The air at the garden refreshes Mikan's mind so she usually stays there. Mikan liked how the wind blew her hair and brushes her face so when she's sitting at the garden she always close her eyes and take a quick nap.

"Hey." A voice coming from the left side of the bench where Mikan is sitting said.

Mikan quickly opened her eyes since the voice is very familiar. Looking at her left side she saw Natsume.

"You should not sleep when breaks almost over"

"Oh…o-ok." Mikan said wondering what Natsume is doing at the garden. "U-um…"

"What?"

"What are you doing at the garden? It seems like wherever I am you're always there like when I was fixing the club room you also suddenly pop out of nowhere. Are you stalking me?"

Natsume didn't answer but just glared at her.

"Maybe not." Mikan said looking away. "You know, because of you my day started really bad. Because of you holding my hands yesterday a lot of girls are glaring at me!"

"Really?"

"Yes! And worse I got a warning from Jin-sensei because of me running in the hallway and it's the fault of those people glaring at me!" Mikan stood up while saying this.

"Oh. How stupid of you to run in the hallway because of that. Can't you just pretend that it's nothing?"

"No! I'm not that numb. And don't call me stupid! You're the one that's stupid getting so agitated yesterday not even knowing the reason why I'm leaving (said in murmur)."

"Huh? What did you say?"

"Oh nothing, don't mind me."

BELL RANG (Breaks over)

"Whatever, let's go."

"Maybe Natsume doesn't want to know the reason why I'm leaving after all it is just a reason… an excuse…" Mikan thought.

Classes over

Club room…

"Everyone, I am running this meeting right now to announce a personal matter about me." Mikan said standing in front of the people (Tsubasa, Hotaru, Ruka, Natsume, Yuuki) gathered.

"Mikan…" Hotaru said in her mind looking at Mikan and Mikan looking back at her.

"Hotaru… I'm sorry for hiding it to you. I'm sorry for hiding it to everyone. I'm sorry for making you all worry about me. Today, what I'm going to say is that… I'm leaving."

Everyone was shocked at what Mikan said.

"Oi, Mikan… don't make a joke like that, it's not funny…" Tsubasa said not believing what Mikan said. Mikan stayed quiet looking down… crying.

"Sakura-san…" Ruka worried and sad about the news after all he had always admired Mikan.

"I'm leaving… to California where my mother is… My mother wants me and grandpa to live with her in California and my mother is going to re-marry."

Everybody sad and surprised at what Mikan said and got worried. "Will Mikan be alright if she has a new father? It will be hard for to adjust to a new lifestyle." Those were what they are thinking. Ntasume kept quiet the whole time just watching and observing like what he always do.

The question why he didn't asked Mikan the reason she's leaving because he doesn't care about the reason, for sure it has something to do with Mikan's mother, that's what he's thinking. The fact that Mikan will soon leave his side just hurts him…

"You know, my mother is going to marry a very nice guy. I had talked to him on the phone. He's kind, polite and he also has a daughter, about two years older than me." Mikan said now smiling but tears just keep flowing from her eyes.

"Mikan, when are you leaving?" Yuuki-senpai asked.

"On the last week of the month."

"That fast. Aren't you going to finish your sophomore year?"

After that question that Hotaru asked there was an awkward silence, But then Ruka break the silence.

"Then, for the remaining days that Mikan is with us, let's enjoy it to the fullest."

"Yeah, that's right. Mikan, you'll enjoy Japan for the remaining two and a half weeks you're here." Tsubasa-senpai said, now able to accept the truth.

"Mikan, you'll be my bestfriend forever. Distance doesn't matter. We still could send e-mails to each other." Hotaru said holding Mikan's hands.

"Hotaru… Hotaru!!" Mikan said crying really hard.

"Everyone, Thank you! Thank you very much!"

Everyone smiled at Mikan, well; Natsume just stared with no emotions painted on his face. In everyone's mind: "Even though there's no communication at all between us and even though we are distant to each other, the moments that we shared shall not be erased in my memory and shall live forever…"
