Chapter 7

Jinno couldn't believe what he just saw! He slightly pushed his glasses up so he could rub his eyes. When he put it on again, Mikan was already entering the door and to his surprise, the necklace wasn't there anymore. 'Did I, perhaps, imagine it?', he asked himself.

He shook his head, thinking that he must really just have imagined it. 'Tsk..this is all that bastard Kazumi's fault. He should be grateful that he's the HSP or else I would've electrocuted him by now!'

He then entered the classroom and slammed his things on the desk. "Get your books out and turn to page 34. We'll be discussing a new lesson today", he commanded with the same strict voice he always uses.

Jinno's lesson went on for an hour. Five minutes before class ended, Jinno left. The remaining five minutes served as free time for the students in class B.

During those five minutes, Mikan sat quietly in her seat. Many of the students were tempted to approach her but was too afraid to do so. They wouldn't want to be at the ending line of Mikan's fury. However, not all of them felt scared. Ruka, for one, called Mikan just to ask her how's her day.

"So-so", was Mikan's dull-sounding answer. Ruka couldn't help but smile. 'She's so much like Natsume', he thought.

Not just Ruka, but two other girls approached Mikan, too. They were none other than her new found friends, Anna and Nonoko.

"Hi, Mikan-chan!", the both of them cheerfully greeted.

"Hi", Mikan greeted back, her voice not as dull as before.

"Uhmm..Mikan-chan, did you get your p.e uniform already?", Anna asked.

"Yes..why?", Mikan asked.

"Well..we have p.e next, right? I just asked cuz we don't want you running down the tracks wearing a skirt, would we?". Anna couldn't help but smile at the thought of Mikan running outside wearing a skirt and the wind blowing as hard as it could.

"You're right. I wouldn't want some pervert sneaking a peak at my underwear". She emphasized the word 'pervert' as she glanced at Natsume, who had his book covering his face. She then turned back to her friends. "Well, even if that were to happen, I'd be excited to kill the person who would dare sneak a peek at my or any other girl's underwear", she said with a shrug.

Just then, the sound of a book closing startled the girls. Mikan turned around to see Natsume leaving with his book in his right hand. Before leaving, Natsume glanced at Mikan and the edges of his lips curved into a small smirk. "Says the girl who can't even pull her wrist away from a mere grip", he muttered, loud enough for Mikan and two other girlsto hear. Anna and Nonoko's eyes travelled from Natsume and to Mikan, their expression clouded with confusion. Mikan, on the other hand, glared at him as she mouthed the word 'Jerk'. Natsume smirked even more after seeing Mikan's reaction. He left the room with his best friend following behind him just as the bell rang.

"Oh! It's p.e!", Anna excitedly said, her confused expression replaced with an enthusiastic one. She and Nonoko grabbed Mikan's hand and started pulling her down the steps and towards Hotaru who's waiting for them by the doorway. "Come on, Mikan-chan! We need to get to the locker room!", Anna and Nonoko urged.

"I'm coming. No need to be so loud", Mikan said but she couldn't help but smile at her friends cheerfulness. 'Is this what it feels like to have real friends. I wish I could be like them..so cheerful and...warm'.


Mikan and her three friends walked out the locker room and into the field after getting dressed for five minutes. They were greeted by the strong gush of wind and warm sunlight. 'Good thing I really did have my p.e uniform', Mikan thought. She wasn't completely covered up though since her shorts were quite short and most of her legs were exposed.

The four of them started walking towards where the other students were. Anna and Nonoko were walking with their arms linked. They were also humming a cheerful song which Mikan didn't recognize. Mikan and Hotaru, on the other hand, were walking behind them with their usual emotionless faces and intimidating demeanor.

When the students saw them, their jaws practically dropped except for Natsume, who doesn't care, and Permy, who of course hates Mikan until now. The boys ogled at the four girls, especially Mikan, when they saw the four girls' slim and well toned legs and thighs. The girls, on the other hand, just stared at them in admiration. They gawked for as long as they could until Hotaru finally got out her Baka-gun from who knows where and pointed it at the idiotic students. They gasped before finally turning around and pretending to do something. Anna and Nonoko glanced at Hotaru. "Hotaru-chan, where did you get that gun from?", Nonoko asked curiously. Mikan stifled a giggle after hearing the chan at the end of Hotaru's name.

"Don't call me Hotaru-chan, Nonoko and don't you dare let out that laugh you're restraining, Mikan", Hotaru warned as she glared at Mikan who was still stifling a laugh. She then turned her attention at the two adorable girl once again. "And as for my gun, I bring it everywhere with me. Though the question where I getit from is something you should figure out yourselves", Hotaru replied back.

"I-I see..", Nonoko stuttered. She was shocked to see Hotaru's scary side again. She initially thought that Hotaru would be much more friendlier to them after having their friendly moment at the cafeteria but she thought wrong. Hotaru's still as dull, emotionless, cold, and scary as before. But they still liked her despite her cold personality.

A loud whistle startled all the students. They turned their attention to the field where the sound came from. Standing there was a woman with long, straight, dark olive colored-hair tied in a ponytail and a pair of glasses covering her olive green eyes. She was beautiful and elegant looking despite wearing simple black sweatpants, a white t-shirt topped with a black non-hooded zip up jacket, and a pair of white sneakers. She was holding a soccer ball on her right hand and a whistle in her left hand. She had a stern look in her eyes that made the students shiver.

"Everyone, finish two laps around the tracks within 2 minutes", she commanded.

Everyone, including Mikan, ran without any complaints. It took all of them 1 and half minutes to finish the laps. When they returned to where their teacher stood, the teacher tossed the ball to Mikan. Mikan looked at her in an almost confused way though it was barely noticeable.

"Today all of you will be playing soccer. You will now divide yourselves into two teams and choose your leader. Make sure your leader is someone who's responsible, fast and well...strong", the teacher reminded her students.

Everyone shuffled and started dividing themselves. Mikan and Hotaru just stood at the side as the others started grouping themselves. Anna and Nonoko had already found a group on their own. Mikan and Hotaru had mentally decided that they won't join the game until...

"Mikan-chan! Imai-san! Come join our group!", Anna and Nonoko called out.

Hotaru looked at Mikan for a second, trying to see if she's joining. Mikan sensed this and she sighed, "There's no way I'm gonna join that lousy game, Hotaru".

"Why? Not confident that you can win?", a familiar voice asked in a rather mocking manner.

Mikan spun around to see Natsume standing behind her along with Ruka. He had his hands in his pocket and a smirk was on his face. Mikan's blood boiled at the sight of his mocking smirk. "What did you say?", Mikan asked, the venom evident in her voice.

"You don't want to play because you know you're gonna lose, right…Polka?", Natsume smirked as he leaned his face closer to Mikan's. He enjoys pissing Mikan off and he would probably never get tired of it.

Mikan knew what Natsume was trying to do and she swore that she wouldn't give Natsume the pleasure of seeing her pissed off. She put her hands on her hips and smirked. "And who said I can't play?"

Natsume scoffed as he finally moved his face away from hers. "Prove it then".

Mikan poked his chest with her finger. "Fine..but don't cry when you lose", she mocked.

Natsume smirked. "Same goes to you".


The game occupied their whole class period. It was a very intense game with each team refusing to give the other even a single point. Natsume had just kicked a goal and gained another point for their group. All his team mates cheered for him and Ruka gave him a high five. Natsume glanced at Mikan and gave her a smirk that clearly said 'you're gonna lose'.

"Tch", Mikan clicked her tongue in irritation. "I'm not gonna let him score a goal again", she said as she clenched her fist.

"Mikan, less talk, more action", Hotaru reminded her as she tightened her shoelaces.

Mikan nodded in agreement as she tied her hair in a ponytail. 'Time to take this seriously. I'm not gonna lose to that bastard'. She ran after the person who was currently dribbling the ball. That person kicked the ball to his other teammate but before his team mate could get it, Mikan snatched the ball. She dribbled the ball to the opposite direction where the opposite team's goal would be. She avoided every enemy who tried to take the ball away from her. She scanned the area and saw Hotaru nod at her from the other side. She kicked the ball to Hotaru and Hotaru passed it to their other teammates. While the enemies where chasing after the ball, Mikan dashed to where the goal would be and waved her hand at her teammate who was dribbling the ball. The girl kicked the ball to her and Mikan caught it with one fluid movement from her legs.

The field was fairly big and Mikan was still a bit far away from the goal. She dribbled the ball again and avoided any of the enemies who blocked her way. She saw Natsume and Ruka running slightly ahead of her, trying to find the chance to snatch the ball away from her. She was about to kick the ball but someone suddenly snatched it from her. Her legs swung forward and she lost balance. Natsume ran to her to stop her fall but he was pulled instead. As a result, Mikan was now lying on the ground with her eyes shut closed and with a shocked Natsume on top of her. Each of his arms were on each side of her head and one of his legs were in between her legs.

All the students gasped at their position. Hotaru was already secretly taking pictures and Ruka, on the other hand, stood there frozen as hell.

Mikan slowly opened her eyes and her eyes widened when she was faced with a pair of crimson staring down at her. She saw the position they were in and her instinct kicked in. She shot her knees up, effectively hitting Natsume where it would hurt the most.

Natsume rolled to the side as a series of colorful words escaped his mouth. He was groaning in pain and Mikan couldn't help but smirk. "You deserve it..pervert", she muttered.

Ruka finally snapped from his shock and ran to Natsume's side. He then stared at Mikan, "Ah..Sakura-san, it's not what you think it is. He didn't try to take advantage of you or anything like that. You accidentally pulled him along with you when you fell and it resulted to him being on top of you", he tried explaining.

Mikan was a bit taken aback. She didn't really saw what happened but she doesn't remember pulling Natsume along with her though. 'I suppose I might be wrong but I won't admit that. Heck…seeing him like that is surprisingly satisfying', she thought but she didn't say anything. She just stared at Natsume who was still groaning and Ruka who was trying to help him.

"What happened here?", the familiar stern voice asked.

Everyone turned their heads to their teacher who was tapping her foot on the grass with her arms crossed over her chest. Sumire ran to the teacher's side and explained the situation but of course, she said it in a way that made Mikan look bad. "Sensei, Sakura-san here..", she started as she pointed to Mikan. "intentionally kneed Natsume-sama in the-ahem- crotch", she explained as a small blush crept on her face when she said the last word.

The teacher turned to Mikan. "Is that true, Sakura-san?", she asked.

"Yes, but-", Mikan was about to explain when the teacher suddenly cut her off. "Sakura-san, as punishment for what you did, you will take Hyuuga-kun to the clinic right now", she commanded, her voie much stricter than before. When she saw Mikan was about to open her mouth again, she spoke once again. "And no buts!".

Mikan closed her mouth and stared at Natsume. Natsume had stopped groaning in pain and was smirking at her. Ruka had an apologetic expression on his face. Hotaru was clearly amused and Sumire, well, let's just say she's burning in anger because her plan backfired at her.

'Agghh!i, Mikan mentally screamed as she witnessed the smirk on Natsume's face.'He's not hurt anymore! He's enjoying this! The bastard..!'.
