Chapter 14 It was then….
It was a bright sunny morning and Mikan get up early to help his dad prepare a bento for Natsume. She fixed herself first, take a bath, wear her uniform and fixed her long golden brown hair into two pigtails with a strawberry clips on them. She came downstairs and she saw her mom preparing to leave and his dad preparing food.
"Ohayo gozaimasu Mom, Dad." Mikan said happily and kissed them in their cheeks.
"You woke early today Mi-chan." Yuka said smiling at her daughter. "Why is that?"
"Oh.. I've decided to help Dad prepare a bento for Natsume and I would also like to see you before leaving for work." Mikan said flashing a big smile.
"Oh ok. Here take this." Yuka said giving Mikan a cute pink cellphone with a camera. "We forgot to give it to you last night. You've always wanted this from the start ne?" Narumi also looked at Mikan and wait for her reaction.
Mikan stared at it for a moment and take it. She hugged her Mom and said "Wow thank you so much Mom, Dad!"
"Oh it's nothing. My number is already registered there as well as dad." Yuka said smiling at Mikan.
"I will take good care of it." Mikan said putting her fist on her chest.
"Alright. I'm going to take my leave now." Yuka said taking her bag and kissed Narumi.
"Oh and Hon..I might be late for home today since I'm going to take care some things in the restaurant." Narumi said
"Ok then. I'm just going to be the one who will prepare food for tonight." Yuka said smiling.
"Bye Hon. Have a nice day!" Narumi said waving at Yuka who was already in her car.
"See you later mom." Mikan said waving at her Mom.
Mikan and Narumi started preparing their bentos. One for Natsume and One for Mikan. It was a fried tempura, sashimi, sushi and dumplings with fried rice. They also prepare breakfast which is hotdogs and bacon with eggs and lemonade juice.
"Itadakimasu." Mikan and Narumi said already digging up.
"Hey Mikan..what name do you like for our restaurant?" Narumi said smiling at Mikan.
"I think Sakura blossoms will be cute." Mikan said happily.
"Yeah. I think it's cute too. It would go well in our family name." Narumi said smiling at his daughter and patting her head.
Mikan chuckled and they continued eating.
They finished eating and Narumi handed Mikan the bentos for her and Natsume.
"Oh wait I'm just going to take the tiramisu out of the fridge. I also left some for you and mom." Mikan said smiling at Narumi and taking the tiramisu out of the fridge. 'Hmm maybe I should give two slice of tiramisu too for Nobara-chan and Youichi since this is too much for Natsume.' Mikan thought slicing two and one big slice for Natsume. She put it in 3 containers and wrapped them. 'I would just give these two tiramisu to Youichi and Nobara-chan. And I would just leave Natsume's tiramisu in the fridge of the kitchen room of the school.' Mikan thought smiling happily.
"Hey Mi-chan I would just drove you to school with your cousins since I'm going to leave too." Narumi said
"Ok. I'm going to call them now." Mikan said going outside and calling out for her cousins.
"Ohayo gozaimasu Nobara-chan, Youichi!" Mikan said smiling happily at them.
"Ohayo Mikan-nee." Nobara-chan said smiling at Mikan.
"Hnnn.." Youichi said and pich her cheeks.
"wahh stop it.." Mikan said the Youichi let go and smirked at her. "Itaiii.." Mikan said caressing her cheeks.
Mikan quickly change into happy mode and handed Nobara and Youichi a small container.
"What's this.." Youichi said looking at it.
"It's a special tiramisu made by the only me.." Mikan said flashing a big smile.
"Wow this must be good Mikan-nee." Nobara said taking a peek at it and widened her eyes "wow it looks delicious. It was topped with choco crumble and strawberry bits. I'm going to eat this in recess then. Arigatou Mikan-nee."
"You're welcome. You can store in the fridge in school so it wouldn't melt." Mikan said blushing and smiling at them. "You can share it with Aoi-chan if you like."
"Yeah. I can't eat this alone anyway." Nobara said
"Oh my I will take my medicine now then.." Youichi said smirking.
"Grr…You can give it to me if you don't like it.." Mikan said puffing her cheeks.
"Nahh…." Youichi said
Narumi prepared the car outside and said "Let's go already kids." They all hop in the car and 5 minutes later they were already in school.
"Have a nice day kids!" Narumi said and drove off.
Mikan, Youichi and Nobara were side by side when Hotaru, Enma and Nori came and greeted then.
"Ohayooo.." Nori and Enma said.
"Ohayo gozaimasuu Hotaru!!!" Mikan said attempting to hug her but as usual Hotaru shot her with a baka gun and said "Stop it Idiot. I might be infected with your idiotic germs you know." Hotaru said emotionless.
"Wahhh…so mean Hotaru." Mikan said then get up and walk with them.
"So Mikan-chan how's it going?" Enma said having a suspicious look on her face.
"W-What? What's with that face Enma-chan?" Mikan sweating dropped.
"You know what I mean?" Enma said chuckling. "About the two boys. Natsume and Ruka."
"What about them?" Mikan said having an innocent look.
Enma just sighed and said "Just update me when something happens in your love triangle ok?" Enma said patting her shoulder.
"Huh? I don't get it.." Mikan said quite confuse.
"Haha Mikan is still dense." Nori said laughing.
"What an idiot.." Hotaru said putting on a poker face.
"Hmmmph.." Mikan said pouting. Mikan told them about what happened about their new restaurant and her father.
"Wow that's great for Uncle." Enma said smiling.
"Yeah it was a dream come true for your father." Nobara said
"Well you're dad really deserves it." Nori said flahing a big smile.
Hotaru looked at Mikan and said "You must be really happy." She said and smiled.
"Yeah!" Mikan said happily.
Before going to the classroom Mikan go upstairs to store the Tiramisu. "I will just going to get it later." Mikan said smiling.
Mikan and Hotaru entered the classroom.
"Ohayo gozaimasu Minna-san!" Mikan said greeting them happily. Some of them greeted her.
Mikan passed by Yuu and Koko and greeted them.
"Ohayo Iinchou, Koko!" Mikan said smiling at them. Yuu just blushed and said "Ohayo to you too Mikan-chan." Yuu said smilling back.
"Hey Mikan.." Koko said with a smile that is very unreadable.
"You're happy as always Mikan-chan." Yuu said smiling at her. Mikan just chuckled and leave them. She also greeted Sumire and her friends.
"Hmm..O-Ohayo.." Sumire said looking away. Mikan just smiled at her then she also passed by Luna. "O-ohayo Koizumi-san.." Mikan said feeling a little bit awkward.
Luna just looked coldly at her and said "I will get Natsume back."
Mikan already so to her seat and greeted Natsume and Ruka. Ruka smiled at her while patting his rabbit and said "Ohayo to you too Mikan-chan." Ruka said blushing.
"Wow you're rabbit is so cute. Can I hold it?" Mikan said petting the rabbit.
"Of course." Ruka said handing her his rabbit and said "Behave to Mikan-chan Usagi."
"Wah it's so soft and gentle." Mikan said holding the rabbit while the rabbit is caressing itself in her hug.
Ruka smiled and said "Looks like Usagi has taken a liking of you too."
Natsume was just reading his manga and said "That's because Polka looks like one anyway." He smirked and looked at Mikan.
"Wahh..you're such a tease!" Mikan said sticking her tongue out to him.
"Hnnn…whatever." Natsume just look away and said "Don't forget after class ok?"
Mikan just looked at him for a while and said "Yeah. Of course."
It was then that Misaki-sensei arrived and gave them lectures. Classes went on and on till it was already Math time since it's Friday (Their Math is only Friday). Their teacher is Jino-sensei and Mikan still don't know him.
"Is anyone absent..?" Jino-sensei said with a strict voice.
"No sir." Yuu replied with polite.
"Ok. Let's start with our lesson now shall we. Then later on we will be having a class recitation." Jino-sensei said and started his class.
'Woah he looks scary.' Mikan thought and felt nervous.
Jino-sensei scanned his students but someone caught his eye that he's not familiar with. He looked at his seating plan and said "Ms. Sakura."
Mikan was quite shocked at this and stand up. "H-hai sensei?" Mikan said with a stuttering voice.
Natsume looked at her and he felt worried because she seems to be scared.
"Would you explain the theorem 1.5 in geometry?" Jino-sensei said with a cold voice.
"Uhmm…Eto..anou.." Mikan was stuttering and find it hard to speak but she know what the answer was.
Natsume looked straight in the board and whispered "You can do it..Just relax Mikan."
Mikan heard Natsume and take a deep breath and answered the question calmly and explaining it all.
Jino-sensei just nod his head and said "Very well Sakura-san." Their classmates clapped their hands for her and Mikan sit from her seat.
Ruka smiled at Mikan and said "That was very good Mikan-chan."
"Thanks Ruka-pyon.." Mikan said and smiled. She looked at Natsume who was also looking at her. She instantly blushed and said "Thank you Natsume."
Natsume just show a small smile just for her. Mikan saw it and smiled but there's a tinge of pink in their faces.
Classes went on till it was already time for recess.
Mikan came up to Hotaru and said "Uhmm Hotaru I'm going to eat lunch with someone else today so you guys go ahead."
Hotaru just look at her for a while and said "Ok."
Mikan already walked away while Hotaru, Anna and Nonoko were walking for the cafeteria. 'Hmmm…this is interesting. Maybe I should call Mikan later about this after all I set many hidden cameras in this school anyway.' Hotaru thought with a glint in her eyes.
"What's up with you Hotaru? Where is Mikan-chan anyway?" Anna said looking at Hotaru weirdly.
"She said she have something to do." Hotaru said.
"Oh ok." Anna said smiling. She and Nonoko just looked at each other and shrugged.
Mikan go to the Sakura fields with the tiramisu with her and found that no one is still there.
She sat on the shade of the biggest Sakura tree in there and placed the bento and tiramisu in her lap.
"I didn't that this place is so beautiful." Mikan said and inhaled the fresh air with sakura scent in it. She looked around and said "Hmm…Where is Natsume anyway"
Mikan leaned on the tree and said "Hmm feel so sleepy.." little by little she felt her eyes closing and she fell asleep.
As for Natsume, he was just up in one of the tree's branches and he was just studying Mikan. He saw her fell asleep and he glided down.
Natsume sat next to her and looked closer at her face. 'She looks so peaceful and innocent. She's so kawaii.." Natsume started to caress her face and he looked at her lips. 'She has such a fair skin, it's so soft and her cheeks are rosy too. Her eyelashes is long. And her lips..it's rosy pink and look so soft." Natsume was inching his face closer to her but he felt her move a bit and she was starting to open her eyes.
Natsume quickly pulled his face away from her and blushed. 'What am I thinking? Wah stupid Natsume. I don't even like her.' Natsume thought and felt his heart raced.
Mikan opened her eyes and saw Natsume besides her.
"Hey you're here already Natsume." Mikan said and smiled at him. 'I thought I was dreaming just then there was this handsome guy trying to kiss me.' Mikan thought and shrugged it off 'Oh well it won't happen anyway.'
"Y-yeah.." Natsume said blushing.
Mikan handed him the bento and tiramisu. "This is a bento from my dad you can eat it first then the Tiramisu." Mikan said smiling happily.
"Oh..Arigatou." Natsume said and smiled. "But I don't know with that Tiramisu of your so I already gulped my medicine." Natsume said smirking and opening the bento nox.
"Hmph. You don't have to eat it if you don't want too. I didn't work hard in it anyway." Mikan said looking away and crossing her arms.
Natsume looked at the food and said "This looks great. Itadakimasu." Natsume said and digging up with his chopsticks.
Mikan also eat with him and said "It's delicious isn't it?" Mikan said smling at him.
"Yeah. Your dad deserves to run a restaurant." Natsume said and smiled in delight. "You're so lucky."
"Yeah. Arigatou." Mikan said smiling and digging up.
"You sure eat messy." Mikan said laughing at Natsume who has a sauce in his face.
"No I'm not." Natsume said narrowing his eyes but Mikan wiping the dirt on his face with her handkerchief.
"There it's clean now." Mikan said smiling at him while he just stared at her and smirked. "You have some dirt on your face too Polka but I don't have any handkerchief in me so.." Natsume said and bending down to Mikan inching his face to her. He licked the sauce that was in the corner of Mikan's mouth then go back to his seat then smirked.
Mikan just stared at him with a blank expression and blushed so hard.
"Y-yoouu should just wipe it with your hand N-Natsume." Mikan said stuttering.
"It would hurt you so I have no choice." Natsume said and smirked but his face is also blushing.
Mikan just looked down and blushed more. 'That was like an indirect kiss." Mikan thought and felt her heart beating so fast.
"Ok it's time for Polka's tiramisu for now." Natsume said as the two of them finished eating.
"Tell me if it's good ok?" Mikan said smiling excitedly.
Natsume opened the container and grabbed a fork then picked a piece and brought it into his mouth. "Hmmm…not bad for an idiot." Natsume said but he thought 'Wow Polka sure has a trait from her father. This is so good.'
"Yey for me.." Mikan said smiling happily.
Natsume took one and brought it to Mikan's mouth. "It's really good you know.." Natsume said while Mikan just swallowed it and blushed. 'He also used that fork which means…"
"Hahahaha you look like an idiot.." Natsume said laughing.
Mikan just glared at him and was punching and kicking him but he dodged it all.
"You're too slow Polka.." Natsume said and smirked. Mikan was enraged and kicked so hard that she lost her balance. Natsume grab her hand but ended up falling with her while he was on top of her.
Mikan and Natsume stared in each others eyes both of them were blushing. 'Oh no…my face is heating up again and my heart is beating so fast. Getting this close to Natsume, he really is good looking and I love his crimson red eyes which are staring back at me now. Could it be that I'm starting to like him?' Mikan thought.
'This girl. She always makes me feel so different. Having her close to me is very nice. She has huge innocent hazel eyes which always twinkle when she smiled. She's really beautiful. She looks like an angel. Could it be that I'm starting to like her?" Natsume thought
They gained back to her senses when the bell rang. It means that recess is over. They sat up and Mikan said blushing with an awkward voice "We should head back to our classroom now."
"Hnnn.." Natsume said blushing too.
They head back to their classroom and classes started again.
It was already 2:30 PM when class ended and everybody went home.
'I definitely like him/her." Mikan and Natsume thought happily at the same time.
