CHAPTER TWELVE: THE ROYAL CLASSES: PART ONE
The next day when the three of them walked in their classroom, the bulletin board was mobbed by their classmates at the back of the room. There was a sign posted and it said:
"Lords, Ladies, Princes and Princesses of the class 2-B of the Elementary School Division will be having the Royal Classes this semester. The Royal Class was composed of these following subjects:
-Archery
-Horse-back riding
-Etiquette and Manners
-Proper Posture
-Dancing
Your parents informed us that this would help your future as soon-to-be rulers of your respected countries. We hope that you will all enjoy your classes together.
Sincerely,
The Faculty."
After reading it the front door opened and came in Narumi-sensei wearing his cowboy outfit.
"Class, please take your seats." he said
"Narumi-sensei, what is with that get-up?" Koko said while pointing at Narumi's clothes
"I will be your teacher in horse-back riding...and archery." he explained
"But cowboys don't do archery." Kitsuneme retorted
"Oh, the clothes doesn't matter. It's the skills." Mikan said
"For the first time, you said something that made sense, good job." Hotaru said while patting Mikan's head.
"And not idiotic." added Sumire
"Alright, let's go to the school fields." Narumi said and immediately the whole class lined up. (Maybe they are afraid that Narumi might use his Alice on them. And of course, that would be the last thing they would want to receive. It's more of like a death sentence already.)
After some time walking, they were in a secluded area near Northern Woods. It is the perfect spot since there are a lot of trees in the surroundings. Everyone was staring around in awe but Narumi disturbed the silence.
"Okay class, may I know who are experienced archers?" Narumi asked
Three hands shot up in the air. And those hands were the hands of Sumire, Mikan and Hotaru.
"What about a demonstration Miss Sakura?" Narumi asked her
Mikan nodded and stood up. "Uhm, where's my target, sensei?" she asked
"Oh your partner will be your target." he said
Mikan turned pale and turned to look at Natsume who isn't even showing any emotions. She gulped.
"No, I don't mean it that way. What I mean is Natsume will put an apple on his head and stand a meter away from you." he explained, trying to calm the panicking Mikan
"Alright then, let's get it started." Mikan said
She grabbed a bow and an arrow and walked past Natsume.
For Natsume when Mikan brushed past him everything was in slow motion, and was surprised when Mikan whispered the words: "Trust me on this one."
And so their class had begun. She positioned,he stood still. She was focusing hard, he was thinking if he would still be alive or if his head wouldn't be destroyed by an arrow. And then that's it, Mikan let go, the arrow fast approaching its target. Natsume shut his eyes close, and he heard everyone gasp. Thoughts flooded his mind.
" Am I dead?"
"Did I make the right decision to trust her?" he thought but someone answered it all for him.
"Open your eyes and see for yourself, Natsume." right the voice of the ever annoying, Kokoro Yome
And so he did. He's still alive alright, but still he can't help but to look at the arrow above him. The arrow that's stuck to the tree trunk, the arrow that pierced an apple. He was feeling numb all over, he couldn't even move a muscle. He turned pale and Mikan noticed this. So she ran towards him, when she reached him she hugged him tight and surprisingly he hugged her back and buried his face to her neck. WAIT! Wait. Natsume? Hugging back? He hugged back a girl? There is something wrong with the mixed up gods. THE Natsume Hyuuga let a GIRL HUG him! This thing is just plain different, because if it was just an ordinary girl hugging him, he would've burned her hair. But this girl was an exception. And the girl's name was Mikan Sakura. But there they were hugging each other like there's no tomorrow. Was Hotaru right that Natsume really like Mikan from the very beginning? Well whatever the answer is, Hotaru knows better.
But then he stood up, resulting Mikan sitting on the ground, shocked. But he reached out a hand. Again something is wrong with Natsume, he never ever, ever did that before. But Mikan just looked at his hand, obviously dumbfounded.
"Just take it." he said, then he smirked "Polkadots"
