I was woken up by a text from Anna.
"Mikan, come at my house. Let's have fun and test our karaoke"
I replied back with my eyes half opened.
"Sure just wait for me in some minutes."
So I hurriedly stood up from my bed and I did what normal people would do in the morning.
I was patiently waiting outside Anna's house waiting for her to open the door.
"Come inside Mikan"
When I entered their house I was shocked to see Natsume's friends there.
"Hey Mikan!" they greeted me.
"Hey guys" then I sat on a vacant space besides Anna.
"Why didn't you tell me they were here?" I whispered to her ear.
"I'm sorry Mikan, I was also shocked when they went here. Ask Nonoko maybe she asked them out"
"I won't matter anyway. They're already here" I sighed. At least Natsume's not here.
"Hey Mikan, sorry Natsume couldn't come. His mother asked him to accompany her to the mall" Koko said.
"It's okay." I smiled at them. Why bring up the topic? I wasn't really expecting him. Right?
"He said he'd try to come here" Yuu continued.
Then we sand for some hours. Sang a lot of songs. And mostly I got perfect scores while the guys really had a very poor score. Haha!
Hey Mikan, can you accompany me home? I told my dad you're with me." Nonoko said.
"Sure. What time would be leaving anyway?"
"Uhm. Now?"
"Sure no problem." Then we stood up.
"Where are you going?" Koko asked.
"We're going home. I'll just accompany Nonoko to their house" I said.
"What about Natsume?" he asked again.
"What am I going to do with him?"
"He said. He's gonna follow and that he's somewhere nearby already" Yuu said.
"I'm sorry. But we're already going home. Just tell him that" I said then we left.
As I was walking to our home, I just received a text message.
"I wished you told me earlier that you would already go home"
A message from Natsume? I replied back.
"I'm sorry. Nonoko was in such a rush. And she asked me to accompany her home. I didn't even know you would come."
"Yeah. I'm with Koko right now. I'm going at his house."
"Okay. You guys take care"
"K" So that was his reply. No take cares? I expected too much.
That night as I was lying in my bed, I thought about him and every few seconds I glanced at my phone to check if he texted me. But to no avail I didn't receive any at all.
Was he mad at me because of that we didn't see each other? Why would he?
Before I knew it the sun had already greeted me and that I was off to school again.
When I arrived school I discovered Natsume wasn't there. He was not in any of my classes.
I got frustrated and asked Anna about it.
"Hey. Have you seen Natsume?"
"So you haven't heard the news that he changed his entire class schedule?"
"He did?" Really? I didn't know about that.
"So I thought you were his best friend." She sighed and I was left there dumbfounded.
That line kept ringing on my head. So I guess that's what I just thought. I guess he never really treated me as his best friend after all. I felt a tear trickled down my cheeks then more and more. I can't help it. I expected too much from him.
Months passed by and we hardly have any talks with each other. I hardly see him anymore. I heard no news from him.
He was not the same or rather we were not the same anymore.
"Hey Mikan! What's up?" Ruka asked me as he saw starring blankly into the blue sky on the park.
"Hey Ruka. I'm fine. You?"
"I'm perfectly fine." He smiled. He looked angelic when he smile I might say.
He sat beside me on the vacant swing and starred at me.
"Is Natsume still texting you or do you two still have contact?" I looked at him and his eyes were filled with curiosity and enthusiasm.
"No" I just plainly said and starred on the dry ground I was stepping on.
"So it was true" he said.
"What?" I asked. When I looked at him, he was not starring, he was looking into the tree with falling leaves.
"So the rumours about him were true"
"What rumours?" I was really curious. So that's how long we haven't talk. I already don't know anything about him at all.
"He was getting serious with this girl" he said and starred at me. That time I just don't want to look back. I just want to go home and went directly into my bed.
"Ow. See Ruka, I better get going. Catch you up on school" Then I stood up.
"Okay. See you around Mikan" then I left.
Everything was a blur to me as I was starring into the starless sky.
Everything was just like a vivid memory of the past we both shared happily.
Everything was just like a dream.
And right now I'm in the reality I wasn't hoping to experience.
Months and months and more months had passed by.
There were days when I completely forget about him.
Then I realized when I asked myself. Who is Natsume? I guess myself would just reply.
"The man that I once loved"
I found myself falling out of love for him as days passed by.
And as I continue to ask myself that same question, more and more answers add up to the one sentence I started.
"The man that I once loved. The man whom I thought was my best friend. The man I thought I truly new. And lastly the man I had learned to forget."
And the month of February came, the month of our school's festival.
I might say that everything has just started. :) Wait up for more chapters to come!. Stay tuned!. Reviews, comments, grammatical errors and constructive criticism are highly accepted and appreciated. Thanks!
