Daffodil and Journal

A/N; I'm in a bad mood today. I finished Ouran HSHC (the anime version) and the ending totally sucked! I'm gonna read the manga instead. Anyways, Daffodil and Journal has thirty-seven reviews! To you guys that may not be much, but for a new author it is! But come on guys, we can strike fifty or even sixty! *goes chibi mode and cackles as if high on coffee* And guess what? Ruka-pyon made cookies for y'all and is staying till the end of the story! Yay!

Natsume Hyuuga was in a bad mood. The dark haired teen walked through the halls with a deep scowl. He would occasionally bark at students and teachers who annoyed him, and punch walls when someone had simply asked him what was wrong. And we all knew why.

Mikan.

It had been at least three weeks when the fight happened. Natsume had came to school with a bandage on his right cheek the day after and people had to force themselves not to stare. Mikan had ignored him, and everytime he tried to talk to her, she slapped him on his bruised cheek, said she hated him and stormed away. And Mikan was always checking on Tsubasa, who was the hospital for a few days. And poor Natsume got no attention, not even his fangirls would molest him like usual.

Because Natsume was a cruel bastard.

It had been his new nickname apparently, and he would glare and sulk more when he heard people pass by him and whisper that by his ear. The school newspaper was being handed out like candy. And the more people read it, the more people began to hate Natsume.

And he felt sick because of it.

Mikan was depressed as well, she had felt that pang of guilt when she saw Natsume stare at her with sad eyes, and how hard it was when she slapped him and he would wince when she stormed away. After all..

He was hurt too.

She felt the need to run up and hug him, and tell him she was sorry. But after what he did to Tsubasa, she couldn't pull herself to look at him. And after that, she got a visit from the queen of the fangirl club, Luna Koizumi. And she looked down right murderous when she caught her innocently eating her bento.

"Sakura Mikan, I would like to speak you." Luna pointed her finger in her face, Mikan looking confused with her mouth stuffed with rice.

"I want to talk to you about Natsume-sama." She flipped her curly blond hair over her shoulder. Mikan raised an eyebrow as she swallowed her rice. This girl sure was pretty, and she felt a slight twinge of jealousy.

"Natsume? What about him?" Mikan asked idly, and she saw a stress mark appear on her forehead.

"How dare you refer to my Natsume-sama like that! You should have some respect after you humiliating him in public!" She yelled, her golden eyes gleaming in anger, flipping her long waterfall of blond hair. Mikan gave her a bored look. Luna cleared her throat.

"I would like to know what is your relationship with Natsume-sama." Luna stated. She's just like Sumire! Mikan thought.

"I don't have a relationship with him, he barely notices me so you have nothing to worry about." Mikan replied and stuffed her takoyaki in her mouth. Luna growled.

"That's a lie, Sakura. Natsume-sama clearly seeks your attention, when he should actually look at the prize infront of him!" She cried dramatically, a sunset background appearing behind her. Mikan choked on her takoyaki. Luna suddenly gave a serious look.

"As of today, Sakura Mikan, you are offically my rival!" She yelled and some students stared at her. Mikan shrugged. Luna walked away. Mikans' mind wandered back to Natsume, she frowned as the guilt nagged her. Miakn slapped down her chopsticks and ran into school directly to Natsumes' class. It was empty, and she found Natsume by his window seat staring outside. He looked up at her when she slammed her hands on the desk.

"Natsume!" She yelled in his face. He stared back at her.

"Yes?" He replied bluntly, Mikan blushed when she realized she had yelled in his face.

"U-uh I-I... I'm really sorry I've been ignoring you and slapped you on your cheek and calling you a cruel bastard!" She blurted out.

"Are you done?" He said quietly, and Mikan pulled back slightly.

"You so stupid, I can't believe I was doing everything just for you to look at me." Natsume started laughing, and Mikan stared back in confusion.

"N-Natsume..."

"I won't forgive you, because I'm cruel bastard." Natsume said as he stood up, and he paused by Mikans' shoulder. Mikan froze as he said the words that broke her heart.

"Mikan Sakura, I hate you." He whispered and walked away. Mikan started to tremble, and slowly tears started pour out of her eyes. She sank to the floor and sobbed.

She never felt that hurt before in her life.

Hello! Hope you guys are holding up. Kinda depressing, don't worry it'll work in the end. Remember to review, or poor Ruka-pyon will be sad and I'll start crying too. And thanks to all my reviewers, you guys are the best, even one review can encourage me to write *goes emotional*
