Chapter 10-Hawaii part 03

Mikan's POV

I rolled on my bed to look at the clock. It reads 7:45 am. My head aches and a flashback of last night came.

Agh, it hurts—what a headache. But I was thankful though, that for the first time in my last two years, I was able to share something about myself—and who would guess that it was Natsume I was sharing with??

I felt my phone vibrate. I lazily opened it and I saw that it was Hotaru who texted me.

__Oi, meet us at the café downstairs; breakfast. And get dress because we will go directly to Bullets

**Bullets?? What's that??

__It's a place where we have a hobby of gun shooting.

**Oh, okay. Meet you all there within 30 minutes.

Noticing that she won't reply, I lazily left my soft bed and went to the bathroom and took a quick bath. I dressed up in a simple blue tank top, black denim short skirt, my gladiator sandals, my black studded scarf and my big blue bag. I left my hair down. I stuffed my bag with my necessary things including my sunglasses, handkerchief, tissue, some make-up, perfume, my wallet, phone, and some mints. Hey you never know.

I left my room in a quick speed. I'm hungry as hell.

I found them sitting near the pool. Ruka is reading a newspaper in his green and black striped shirt, black pants, his aviator shades, his green fat shoes and a beaded bracelet. Ruka was always this good looking.

Hotaru, who was reading a book while drinking tea, is wearing a black tube top with a gothic robot print, cream loose pants, her flip flops, some bangles, her wide shades, her gold hoops and her hair was kept by a cream headband.

Yuu was beside Anna, listening to his iPod. The blonde is wearing an orange shirt with a rocker Mickey print, denim pants, white converse, his arm bands and his shades. He looks innocent but really cute.

Anna is wearing a pink tube dress shirt, white shorts which end above her knees, her white gladiator flats, her sunglasses, her gold necklace/s, gold earrings and her pink hair that was up in a messy ponytail.

This is a table of the gods.

I approach them wearing the goofy smile I used to wear around people—people who at least I consider as friends. "Hey guys." I greeted as I sit down on the seat beside Anna and Hotaru. "Where are the others??" I asked as I sip the orange juice I ordered beforehand.

"Koko and Nonoko went to Bullets first. Natsume—went to fetch his 'date' for the day." Anna told me. Date for the day?? Oh—okay. And I don't feel hurt!! No. I don't.

Moments later, we went to go to a place called Bullets. It was a cool place but a bit noisy. We climbed the stairs and sat near the balcony where we can see the people who was busy shooting the human paper targets. Koko and Nonoko where already there in the table reserved for us. Koko was wearing a sleeveless white hood jacket, cream brown and chocolate brown knee shorts, his white sneakers and his sunglasses were on the table.

Nonoko was wearing her empire cut dress shirt with lollipop prints, her white denim shorts, her wedge flip flops, some silver accessories and her sunglasses pulled up to brush some of her blue hair up.

We sat in the table while Koko talked "Wow, you took your time well. You're all 59 minutes late." "Oh come on. As if you really waited. All you did was reserve a table for us—and who knows what you did after." Ruka said, jokingly—or not. We laughed at his words while my eyes caught something on the shooting alley. Anna saw me looking down and said "So—she's the new Natsume doll wannabe."

"Oh—another b**ch who fell in lust with my cousin" I don't need to say who said it. "Oh Hotaru, you don't need to say such foul language." Ruka said while rubbing the ravens' hands into his bigger ones.

"Oh come on, Ruka. Hotaru's right. The only girl who don't own the b**ch title which Natsume dated is Mikan." Nonoko said while pointing at me. They all looked at me, while I stare back at them.

We were disturbed by a flirty giggle. We looked down and saw Natsume running his arm into a blonde's waist while his other arm was guiding the girls' hands to hold a gun to aim well. I noticed Natsume whisper something into her ear as the blonde' smiled.

Bang. The bullet went as it hit the outer circle.

Bang. The second one hit farther away.

Then another 'Bang', and with her luck it went to hit the bull's eye.

The girl squealed in delight of her success as she hugged Natsume and kissed him full in the mouth.

I looked away and pretended—wait. Erase that. I was thirsty. I have to drink my soft drink—it was natural—like duh?? "When she says 'hi' just say a greeting back. Pretend like it's nothing to you." Anna said to me. I gave her a confused look and said "What??" Koko, who has his hands over his head said "Seriously, Mikan-chan. We're all rooting for you."

I only smiled at them, not even knowing what that meant. Then, the 'couple' went up the stairs and approached the table, locking hands or it was more likely the girl was holding Natsume's hand.

"Hi, I'm Erica." She said. I notice Anna looking at Nonoko as the blue haired girl shrug. "I'm Anna. And this is my best friend Nonoko." Anna introduce while Nonoko waves her hand. "This is my guy, Yuu." "Hi." Yuu said. "That is Koko, Nonoko's guy." Koko gives Erica a nod.

"That is Ruka." Anna said while pointing at the blonde who waves his hand. "Eh—Hotaru, Natsume's cousin and Ruka's girlfriend." Anna explained which I'm sure thrilled the girl. "Oh—nice to meet you." Erica said while extending her hand to Hotaru. Hotaru, who rests her head on the back of her palm said "Don't know where that came from."

Erica gaped for a while before Ruka said "Sorry about that, she's a bit of a sadist."

Now that she looks at me, I noticed that she was wearing a gray off shoulder shirt with a white Chanel symbol that shows her belly button, her low waist skinny denim jeans, her gold bracelet, her black 4-inch stilettos, her gold hoops and her silky blonde hair in soft curls. "Hey—and you are??"

I stopped sipping my drink—which I don't drink anyway and smiled at her. I am about to introduce myself when Hotaru speak out. "She's Sakura Mikan—Natsume's fiancé."

I looked at Hotaru who was pretty serious about it, Ruka and Yuu gaping, Koko, Nonoko and Anna snickering, Natsume, smirking and the blonde frowning. "Uh—No, she's just joking. They usually joke about that. But I and Natsume are just friends—like a brother and a sister." I said to her, smiling. She regained her smile while Natsume said "Yeah—we're like siblings." This time, I was able to describe what attracted the girl.

He was wearing a mossy green shirt underneath a gray office coat which he rolled up to his elbows; his denim pants and his green Nikes.

"Oh—I'm happy about that. Hey, your bag is Gucci, right??" she asked me. "Um—yes. It is." I told her. "Wow, now that I see you close, you're really pretty." She told me. Mind you, she was sitting next to me, then Natsume, then Koko, Nonoko, Anna, Yuu, Ruka and Hotaru—then back to me. "Thank you." I said to her—to be polite of course. "Hey Natsume. Remember my friend??" she asked him.

"Which one??" Natsume asked after he sipped a can of coke. "My guy friend—the Abercrombie model. The brunette with red streaks and violet eyes??" Okay. She has model friends. "Yeah." He replied. He is such a man of many words. "Do you think Mikan and Kyle look good together??" The gang looked at her, then me and Natsume. I accidentally notice Natsume's hand squeezing the can—but his face is still emotionless as ever. "Your single right?? Mikan??" She asked me.

"Yeah—of course. I am." I smiled at her.

"Of course not." Natsume said. "What??" I asked him again. "Of course not. Your friend is a model—he sure got looks. If you date him with that idiot, it would be an insult to him." He said. I'm sure to kill him.

"Of course not—Mikan can pass even to the professional model industry." Erica said. "Whatever." He grunted. "Um—why don't you bring that model friend of yours later to the hotel, Erica-chan?? We will go to the hotels' club later—since Mikan-chan is single, I'm sure she won't mind a date, right??" Nonoko asked. "Right??" Nonoko eyed me. "Ah—I think??" I replied.

"Great." Erica screamed.

I didn't like the idea of dating. So I planned to turn the guy off. I wear my silver cocktail dress that ends just below my butt, abstract print tights, black office coat, and my silver open-toe 4-inch pumps. I have neither necklaces nor wrist bands, but I wore my silver hoops and I pulled my hair up in a formal bun. Ha—here comes the old me.

I heard a knock and she slowly walked to the door to be only greeted by my three friends. "Hey—Wha?? Mikan-chan??" Anna squealed like she was just raped.

I mentally smirked—my plan is going to be successful. By the way, Hotaru was wearing a violet and black dress with a big belt on her waist and it also ends just below her butt. Her violet pumps her amethyst earrings and a silver bangle. Anna was wearing a pink one shoulder dress that also ends approximately like the others, black pumps, her gold jewelries, and her hair in a neat ponytail. Nonoko was wearing a violet balloon dress that also end like the others. Her dress has little silver heart prints scattered all over the dress, she has silver jewelries and her hair in some neat curls.

"Um—I don't feel dressing up tonight." I told them.

Ah—I don't even plan meeting others—specifically guys.

We went down to the lobby where we saw the guys.

Natsume was wearing his red plain t-shirt underneath his black office coat which he again, folded up to his elbows, his black pants, and his white Nikes. Ruka was wearing blue shirt underneath a gray hooded sleeveless shirt, his black pants and his blue fat shoes. Yuu was wearing a mahogany shirt with 'Study hard—party Harder.' print, his denim pants and his red fat shoes. Koko was wearing a black shirt with a brown vest, his denim pants, brown fedora hat, and his black fat shoes.

I tried to guess their expression and I think that they're just surprised like the girls were.

I tried to hide my amusement within my bored looks.

Not soon enough, we were in the club. It was dark—but the disco lights were lighting the room and so was the loud music. They ordered for beer but I persuaded for a juice. I don't like myself when I'm drunk.

One time at my uncles party—I'm not telling.

They partied for sure, while I stayed sulking on our table. Then, the blonde—Erica came with a brunette.

She was wearing a hot pink tube shirt underneath a gray high-waist pencil skirt that ends at least lower than my own dress. She was also wearing her hot pink stilettos, her hand bag and her blonde hair in a messy bun. She has no accessories except for her black jade earrings. "Hey guys, I want you all to meet Kyle."

He was good looking when he smile but it just won't do. Many men get their target by angel looks. I notice Natsume look at me before he went glaring over the guy. Probably jealous when his date has her 'friend' with her. Hm.

"Kyle—this is Natsume, my boyfriend." Wait—I thought date—not boyfriend. Natsume only nod at the guy while Kyle keeps his smile. "Then that is Ruka, Natsume's best friend, together with his girl, Hotaru which is by the way Natsume's cousin. That is Yuu, with his girl, Anna then Nonoko with her boyfriend Koko." Erica said then looking at me "Then, this is Mikan, your date for the night, and Natsume's girl 'best' friend which is close as a sister." Kyle looked at me and for a while his smile faded then came back in a sly motion "H—hi." He told me.

"Hey." I smiled at him.

Yes. Plan worked.

Then the game started. I don't know how I get up to this but now, they're playing 'The one who can drink most' game. I'm getting worried. Did I tell you that I started pole-dancing when I was drunk in my uncles' party last summer?? "Come on Mikan, just one sip??" Erica said to me. "Yeah, Mikan-chan. We are in the hotel you know. Your room is just a few floors away anyway." Anna said to me before she drank her cup empty.

"Scared??" Natsume said to me, while smirking. "No am not." I said at him, when I notice Kyle looking at his watch. Ha—the result of having a date as weird as this girl. "Be my guess then." Hotaru said as she hand my a bottle of beer. I glared at Natsume, before taking the beer and drink it full.

It was a bottle of beer not a cup.

I finished the whole bottle clean when I looked at them. Not even panting. They stared at me, jaw dropped. Then Kyle formed a smirk then started clapping while the others followed.

"Wow." Kyle said to me. I don't care what I will do afterwards. I'm going home drunk tonight.

I don't know how much I drink now. 8-10 bottles?? I notice Natsume looked at me before he started lip-locking with his date—girlfriend. I don't know what I'm feeling but I feel insulted and—hey, what the f**k am I wearing?? I excused myself to go to the wash room.

"Want me to walk you there??" Kyle asked me. I shook my head at him, I can walk myself there of course.

End of POV

Mikan walked to the wash room. Then, she locked the room and an image of Natsume and Erica kissing washed by. For unknown reasons, anger flowed at her. 'Let's see who can make who jealous.' Mikan thought. Then she looked at her self. 'Eww.'

She was crazy. Disgusted by her own image. Then Mikan took off her tights and the pin that holds her hair, leaving her olive locks to the wavy look; then, the finale, her coat which by the way revealed the real look of her dress. It was silver, right. It was very fitting. It was also backless, but each end was held by three silver chains. It was very revealing. Backless, then it ends just below her butt. And did I say that she has great legs??

'Time for the show down' Mikan thought.

Music starts
Listen hot stuff
I'm in love
with this song
so just hush baby shut up
Heard enough

Mikan walked over their table while getting stares from the people she passed by. She was drunk. But she can still handle her shoes of course. When she walked to their table, Yuu was the first to gape, then the others. Kyle gaped then smirked. Natsume looked at Kyle then at her.

Mikan walked over to Kyle then she kissed him. The model was shocked first but he was making out with her. They drink again. More.
