Chapter 14-He knows better than me

It was early morning in the same academy.

But the excitement of the Juniors and Seniors are getting high, because their prom is coming. Sophomores however are in the lowest energy in these times. Why?? Well let's just say that they are assigned to prepare this extravagant occasion.

"Hyuuga, I think you know Hanna already, right?? The lead Senior cheerleader—she's going to be your partner for the number, so I hope you cooperate, okay??" The teacher told the raven. The raven gave a heavy sigh as he lazily nod. His head is still in the scene yesterday and about the MU relationship he's in. Natsume Hyuuga, is one busy dude.

Just then, a girl in a hot pink tank top and denim skinny jeans came. She's a green head. She has also has light blue eyes. Yeah, we're talking about a sea nymph. She maybe is in her 19's too.

"Hey—Natsume." The girl said, seducing. Natsume then smirked.

"Sakura." The teacher, Yumi, called at the geeky brunette. "Yes, sir??"

"Can you bring these scripts to Music Room 4, please?? Some Juniors are using that room; I think they need these scripts for their prom." He said. Mikan have second thoughts but being the good student she already is, she accepted. She was walking along the corridor holding the scripts she's going to deliver.

"Mikan-chan." A guy called ahead of her. Mikan looked at the guy, only seeing Koko and Ruka waving at her. Ruka in his plain white Tee and denim pants, paired with black converse. Koko in his red to black Tee and black pants paired with his red converse.

She smiled at them and smiled. "Hey—guys."

Koko looked at the scripts and offered "That's a lot of paper, mind if we help??"

Mikan shook her head and said "No need for that. Thanks." Then, gathering her guts she asked. "Do you guys know why Natsume keeps on ignoring me the whole morning??"

Koko and Ruka looked at each other, of course they know Natsume, head to toe but the brunette is just too naïve. "Why?? Did you two fight again??" Ruka asked. "Nope, not that I remember."

"Maybe he's still mad about you ditching him yesterday." Koko replied. Mikan just shrug and said "He's such a jerk." Before attempting to leave the guys.

"Mikan." Ruka called. "Yeah??"

"Do you feel something weird for Natsume??" he asked. Mikan's eyes grew—maybe because of the shock. "No. I don't think so."

"Oh—that's all." He said, allowing the brunette to go. "Dude, is she doesn't feel anything about Natsume—the dude might—"

Ruka snickered and said "Hah—he might burst or should we say—"

"Obsessed."

They both laughed before Koko added "Maybe we should suggest to him already that he should move on."

Mikan, still holding the scripts continued walking to her destination—the music Room 4. She was also wondering on the words Ruka and Jiro said to her. If she's in love with Natsume, shouldn't she be gyaa and kyaa over him?? Love is so complicated—if ever she is in love.

She was about to enter the music room when she heard Ne Yo's Because of You song. 'There must be someone inside.' She just shrugs her curiosity off and entered the door.

"Excuse me, Yumi-sensei asked me to deliver this scrip——" Mikan's eyes grew. She felt her self tremble despite the heavy clothing she's in. Her heart was pounding like crazy. Her hazel eyes started to water, seeing him in that situation wasn't new to her, but now?? NOW—that she thinks she likes him.

Natsume Hyuuga stopped kissing the girl when he heard a thug. He looked to the door and for the first time in his life, he felt like he's cheating.

His heart was pounding—wait, more like aching. He's hand started to tremble for unknown reasons. He's not new to the situation where mobs and mobs see him make out with a girl but why now?? WHY NOW?? More likely, why does it have to be her?? With the almost thousand students here, why her??

Mikan calmed herself. She needs to get this thing over with. She needs to know why she's trembling—or why does she even care. "I—I'm sorry for disturbing." She said as she picked up the last paper. He only followed her with guilty eyes. He's like pinned in his position. Hanna was on the table and he was in between her legs. His hands were traveling her thighs while her hands were playing on his hair. "You're such a klutz Sakura. Natsume, shall we??"

"I'm going to go now, I'm sorry again." Mikan said as she left the room. She was lucky that her lenses were there—she might not hide her almost crying eyes. He took Hanna's hands off of him while the girl said "Hey—we haven't even started to practice for the number."

He didn't mind her. His brain seems to be numb—ignoring a girl like her but what important is now is that he could explain everything to Mikan. He saw her walking in corridor. "Polka!! Oi!! He called as he run to her walking figure. She didn't turn back at least not until he grabbed her arm and faced her. "Hey—about what you saw."

Mikan looked like she didn't saw anything. She was good at hiding sometimes. "Don't worry. I won't say a thing." She lied. "No—I don't mean that, idiot. About it—"

"It's none of my business Natsume, so let me go now." She said as she tried to get out from his hold. "Not until you let me explain."

"Don't worry, I don't feel anything for that!! It's your life!! I just hope you do well about it!! And like what I said, what I saw is none of my business!!" She said to him as she stepped on his foot—hard.

"Ow!!" he yelled, ignoring the onlookers. "Oi, idiot!! Wait!! Ugh, shit." Great Natsume, you just did great. Better luck next time, bro.

Mikan can't hold herself now. She needs to hide—she needs a drink. She grabs her cell and called "Jiro??"

"Mikan?? Mikan are you crying?? What happened—"

"Can you pick me up??" She asked, crying already. "I think I need a drink."

"Of course, where are you now?? Boy, I don't like you when you're drunk I'll come over—"

"Call me back when you're already here. Bye."

"Okay, just tell—Mikan, Mikan??"

She quickly hanged. She needs a time out.

Natsume looked at his watch again. It was already 1:57 in the morning and he's still in front of the Sakura mansion. He's leaning in his car, I don't know but maybe, he's enjoying the rain.

He's been waiting for her to go home, but no luck. Especially what Ruka said about earlier.

"Dude, all you need is to say sorry. And maybe, confess."

"Confess?? About what??" The raven asked."About what you feel, idiot and stop being stubborn. Consider this as a brother talk, little bro."

"Don't call me that."

He sighed when a silver Lexus LFC ran pass him and his vehicle. He followed the car until it stopped in front of the gate. The car honked before a maid or two went out with umbrellas. The guy he saw earlier came out of the car, then he went to the other side and opened the door, revealing the girl he's looking for.

Drunk.

Jiro was guiding Mikan while the maids where trying to shield them from the rain. Mikan stumbled or two as Natsume was about to go to her aid, when suddenly, Jiro took her to his arms, bridal style. He didn't like that especially when he looked at him. Their eyes glared at each other for a while before Jiro broke it and carried Mikan to shelter.

Stay tuned.
