Chapter 10

6 – My Tutor

Westfield Academy, classroom

.

"Mmm, Amane that cake was so yummy". Mikan mumbled in her sleep. "I want more".

The class dissolved into giggles. The teacher with midnight blue hair and glasses stopped

writing on the board.

"Sakura-san, if you don't wake up this instant, I will personally hurl you out the window." Their English teacher, Laurence Jacques said.

"Where are the cookies?" Mikan unknowingly asked..

An angry vein appeared on Laurence's head.

Devon sweat dropped. A glutton, even in her dreams. He thought.

He gripped her arm and ice crept up, due to him using his alice. She woke up instantly.

"Ah! So cold" exclaimed, shaking her hand. "Where am I?" She asked.

Last she remembered, she was in a picnic with Amane.

"The classroom, you idiot." Laurence and Devon said simultaneously.

Devon smirked. "Welcome back to reality"

"Yes, glad you could join us, Sakura-san." Laurence said, eyes gleaming with murderous intent.

Mikan sweat dropped. "Sorry sensei!" She stood and bowed.

Westfield Academy, Cafeteria

.

Later at lunch, Mikan sat together with Yuki.

"I can't believe I did that in class, Yuki-Chan!" She said.

Yuki pat her back. "Its okay, Mikan-chan"

"Waaah!" Mikan cried. Unbeknownst to her, Devon, getting annoyed by her screaming, sat next to her, scooped some chocolate ice cream and spoon fed Mikan. As a jerk reaction, Mikan immediately shut her mouth and took the spoon out.

She coughed. "What the hell was that for?"

"You're too noisy; you're denying everyone a peaceful lunch". He said.

"Shut up, Devon." She growled, insulted by his statement.

She pouted cutely, making Devon blush...

He prayed to God in Heaven that she didn't see it. What's wrong with me? He thought.

Yuki being very observant raised a brow. This is new. She thought smiling. The famous ice king would actually let someone call him by his name and leave it be, plus, something's up with his slightly red cheeks. She chuckled at the thought.

Westfield Academy, Dorm building

.

Yuki and Mikan returned to their rooms together.

"Devon is such a meanie." She complained whilst pouting.

Yuki giggled. "But this is a first for Koshiba-kun."

"What do you mean, Yuki-Chan?" She asked.

"It's because he doesn't let anybody call him by his given name. Seems to me, you're an exception to this rule." Yuki stated. "It's much more surprising that he doesn't get angry.

Mikan pondered the thought. "hmm…it's because he said I could call him that".

Yuki was shocked. "He did?" she asked.

Mikan nodded. Yuki smirked.

"Is there something wrong?" Mikan asked. She shook her head.

Yuki gushed, "Really Mikan-chan you're so cute!"

"Oh, this is my stop." Yuki said. "Bye, Mikan-chan"

"Bye". Mikan waved.

Before Yuki closed her dorm room door, she said,"Oh, I just remembered to tell you, Nikkaido-sensei announced that we have a test tomorrow and that we might fail if we don't study!"

"Crap. I can't do algebra". Mikan cursed. Math was definitely not her favourite subject.

"Why? It's not that hard." A gruff voice from behind said.

She turned around and saw Devon.

She said dejectedly. "Easy for you to say, you're smart."

Devon pondered on a thought for a moment. "I'll help you."

"Really?" she brightened up. "Thank you! But why would you do that?" she had to make sure this wasn't some prank.

Devon thought for an excuse." Why did I even offer?" he thought...

Because you want to spend time with her. A voice in his head replied.

That's not true. He denied.

It is. It's so obvious. But you're lucky, she's dense. The voice retorted.

What are you anyway? He asked.

Your inner self. It said.

"I have nothing better to do anyway". He told her after a long debate with his inner self.

Mikan cheered "Thank you so much".

He shrugged. "Come on let's go to the study hall, its easier to study there".

Westfield Academy, study hall

.

"Where the hell did you get that answer from?" Devon grabbed a patch of his hair, frustrated.

Mikan cowered a bit from Devon's explosion. "I don't know"

They stayed there for three hours. And Mikan was dead tired.

I'm gonna fail tomorrow! Devon is such a merciless sadist! She thought dejectedly.

"I know you can do it." He said as if reading her thoughts.

She turned to look at him.

He patted her head and smiled a little. "Just do your best" she said.

She blushed. He looked much more handsome when he smiled.

"That's it for tonight. Go to sleep, and have a good rest" he said. "Bye"

He left. And Mikan's heart was beating quickly.

.

The next day, to everyone's surprise, Mikan got a ninety on her test.

"How'd you do?" he asked.

She smiled. "I did great!"

"Good work."

"Yeah!" she said. "Thanks." Devon" she murmured quietly.

"You're welcome." He said.
