Mikan didn't stop running until she made it home. Tears were streaming down her cheeks. 'That jerk kissed me!' she repeated to herself over and over.
'That was my first kiss too! It was supposed to be for the guy of my dreams. Not a walking nightmare like Natsume!'
"Why does Natsume Hyuuga hate me so much?" she asked herself out loud. "What did I ever do to him?"
Mikan touched the back of her head. Her hair really is gone.
Five more years later….
During this time changes both happen for Mikan and Natsume.
Mikan became more distant towards everyone. Everybody assumed it was because of her hair. She was no longer the sociable, bubbly girlie but now she became a silent aggressive jock. She traded in her baby tees, hair bows, skirts, and platforms for sweatshirts, baseball caps, tennis shoes, and baggy jeans. She would hang out with the nerds and jocks and just about anybody except for the popular girls (who are all stuck up). No one dared to mess with Mikan though. She developed a reputation for herself as a fighter when she managed to beat up the biggest girl bully in school. Mikan is a really small and skinny person but no one could really tell underneath all of her clothes (so she seems bulky).
Hotaru and Mochou stopped teasing Mikan as time passed too. They've gotten more mature and dated around too. Mikan still talks to Tsubasa but she had stopped calling him senpai.
Ever since that incident, Natsume knew that Mikan had changed. He had toned down on picking on her but he didn't stop. He knew it was the only way and excuse he had if he wanted to talk to her. When he entered high school, he brought along his popularity and good looks with him. Natsume became every girl's dream guy. Well-built body, styling hair, seductive eyes, and a killer smile. He dated every girl that every guy in his school wants to date.
But sadly no matter how many girls he dated, they all mean nothing to him. He was never able to tell Mikan how he really felt about her so he planned on keeping it silent forever.
