CHAPTER 8
"Good Morning class!" Mr. Narumi greeted everybody enthusiastically.
"Please form two lines, CL-2A, go over here while AP-2A on the other side, hurry up! We don't want to miss this lovely weather" he was all cheery looking and very hyper.
About the good weather Mr. Narumi was saying earlier on, it was all fraud. There was actually a storm on its way but because of the schedule and because it cannot be moved anymore, we have no choice but to perish on this bad weather.
"I thought I could already flaunt with my bathing suit" Sumire pouted beside me.
We laughed at her and I comforted her, "That's okay Sumire there's still the hot bath we could go into"
"But that would be separated from the guys, I won't have a chance with either Natsume or Ruka" she continued on pouting and we just laughed at her.
"Hey Natsume"
"Ruka"
"This weather really sucks right?"
"Hn" I looked at the weather above us, it was really dark and I think would be no way to enjoy such a boring trip which in the first place I did not want to go but as per usual that Narumi needed to blackmail me again.
"Okay class! Because I want the utmost participation and communication from both classes, we will partner each one of you to the other class!" I groaned, I need to deal with another mouthful of girl.
Ruka looked at me worriedly, "Don't be grumpy Natsume" he cheered me on.
"Mikan Sakura would be partnered with Natsume Hyuuga! Please take your seat inside the bus" Mr. Narumi was overly excited while announcing the partners he made which seemed already made before hand.
I heard Natsume sighed beside me as he sat at the window, "What should I expect" he mumbled.
"Cheer up Natsume! Give this trip a chance, would you?" I cheered him but he didn't look at me for even a second.
We were already leaving the school's premises and on our way to the mountain side resort, honestly I am overly excited. I looked at the guy sitting beside me and he seemed sleeping, he was very quiet and looked very gentle and I felt myself blush and feel my insides churn, what is this?
I averted my gaze on the road and tried to calm myself down. I then fell asleep myself.
"Please fix your things inside your rooms and go back here to the assembly area. Chop chop!" Mr. Narumi said.
"I saw it" Nonoko teased me.
"Saw what?" I asked her bewildered.
"Natsume and you sleeping" Anna said beside me.
"That was nothing" I reasoned out but I felt myself blush even more.
"You're blushing" Nonoko teased me even more as she said the obvious and I did not reply.
"You were sleeping on his shoulder Mikan, it was a very lovely scene actually, like an actual couple" Anna said dreamily.
"I never expected that this day would come sooner than I expected Mikan" Sumire nudged me.
"It was really nothing!" I tried to explain to them but I couldn't properly because I stuttered and they just laughed at me.
We had out dinner which I might say was very scrumptious.
The weather outside was really pouring and yet the storm hasn't arrive yet.
"The weather outside really sucks. We couldn't even have fun at all" a classmate of mine said and I couldn't agree more.
"Cheer up my dear students!" Mr. Narumi said still very energetically.
"To not make things more boring than it looks like, why won't I ask Mr. Hyuuga to play something for us?" Narumi was looking at me and it pissed me even more.
I grunted and avoided his gaze.
"Come up on stage Natsume, please perform something for us" he said with hopeful eyes.
Koko nudged me, "Do it man, everyone's dying of boredom already"
I sighed, I have no other choice. I stood up and went to where Narumi was standing.
"Very good Natsume, thank you" he said as he was smiling at me and I just looked at him evilly and he just sweat dropped, scared.
As I took my seat and my guitar at the middle, the other students were looking at me, I sighed, the expectations again.
I plucked my guitar and I started to play,
"I am driving up 85 in the
Kind of morning that lasts all afternoon
just stuck inside the gloom ..."
I looked at Natsume and how he seemed at ease with what he was doing.
" ... 4 more exits to my apartment but
I am tempted to keep the car in drive
And leave it all behind ..."
I looked to the others who were also listening to him and I also found them stuck in like a dreamy trance as I was.
Natsume sure got a lovely voice that I did not expect he has. I felt fluttering inside my stomach again and I felt myself blushing, what's wrong with me?
I tried to shake that feeling off and I continued to watch Natsume while no one ever tried to utter a word or sing along with him.
"He sure is very talented" a random student said behind me.
"Yes he sure is! Whoever would be his someone sure is lucky" a random student replied back dreamily.
And I thought about it, I have never seen Natsume with anyone before, I have never dared ask him if he has a special someone in his life.
"Why Georgia, why?"
He ended the song and everyone inside the hall applauded including me.
After a few while I approached him as the others were busy with their own businesses.
"I never knew you had a talent for singing as well, Natsume" I teased him.
He just grunted in reply.
I nudged him, "Seriously Natsume, you are a very talented guy and I cannot see the point of always denying it. Why don't you give it a chance?"
He sighed, "You do not understand" he said dejectedly.
He walked away, maybe on his way back to his room. I followed him and held his arms. "I'm going for a small stroll outside, want to come?" I offered him, smiling.
"It's raining, I don't like the rain. Go by yourself and get lost in the woods or somewhere" he replied with disinterest.
Knowing him for quite a few time, it was just his way of saying take care, I smiled at him, "Suites you well then"
I was having a rest when someone barged inside our room, "Mikan Sakura is missing for hours and the storm is already approaching!" that person cried hysterically.
I stood up abruptly and looked at my watch, it was already 11:00 PM and Sakura is missing, this is not a good sign.
In a brief moment, I changed my clothes and took my jacket and ran outside and to look for her with fear rushing inside me.
"Natsume!" I heard Ruka calling me but I ignored him as I face the terrors of the weather outside and look for Sakura.
"Natsume!"
I'm coming Mikan.
Mikan is missing?! She's clumsy as always. -.- Stay tuned! :) BTW, school will be already starting soon. :( sucks. :))
BTW. The song that Natsume played is entitled "Why Georgia" by John Mayer. It's really stuck on my head since I heard Sungha Jung singing it. :))
Reviews please! Thank you. :)
