Chapter 15|| I have a Million dollars

"Come on Mikan, tell me."

"I already told, Sumire. A million times."

"Yes, but you are lying. Tell me the truth."

Here I am on a Friday afternoon with a pestering Sumire to tell her the truth about the other night. It has been a week and she still won't let it go, and I am great full that Hotaru is not acting like this or else it would have been awful especially with her upgraded Baka gun. I told Sumire and Hotaru what they needed to now but Sumire won't let it go. I told her what she needed to know about that night; I just left two small details out, one; Natsume secret hideout and something else. She did tell her that they were friends now just left a couple of details out. But since she knew me since childhood she is able to tell when I am lying, telling half-truth or leaving something out. Like right now, she knows that I am leaving something out of the conversation right now.

"I did."

"No. You didn't."

"Yes. I did."

"No"

"Yes"

"No"

"Yes-"

BAKA! BAKA! BAKA! BAKA! BAKA! BAKA!

Both girls had gotten a serious pain on their foreheads. Mikan rubbed her forehead while Sumire held her head in pain. Both looked at Hotaru with angry and frustrated eyes. Hotaru gave a blank face in return and walked over to them. Sumire looked at Hotaru ready to giver her apiece of her mind.

"WHAT WAS THAT FOR!?" Sumire yelled out.

"You two are being to loud. It's way too early in the morning." Hotaru says, emotionless.

"It's past twelve, so it is afternoon and not early morning." Mikan replies. We were walking in the hallway when we see Koko walking. He looks up from his phone and squeals. "Mikan!" he puts his phone away and I see at corner of my eye Sumire cheeks were red.

"Hi Koko." I greet Natsumes energetic friend as he approaches us randomly and gives Sumire and I a big hug. He was going to give Hotaru but backed off when she pointed her gun towards him.

"I've been good babe. I have missed you so much." He coos, tearing away from me and looking at me, "I swear if he tries to tear us apart again, I'll—" he is cut short when Koko senses someone behind him. His smile drops. "He is right behind me isn't he?"

I nod my head.

"You'll what?" Natsume challenges Koko with Ruka tanging along behind him. I giggle along with Sumire. I see Koko give Sumire a secret smirk. I couldn't help but melt at the facial expression he gave her. Any girl would to be honest. Koko gulps out of fear and turns around and I stare at the two eye wide.

"So Mikan, have you told your parents about us yet?" Koko asks, striking up a casual conversation. I haven't talked to my parents in days, and it is the end of November. Hotaru told me that she did not inform my parents about that night when Natsume and I had serious arguments and confrontations and I was glad she didn't. although she did tell that she would've but knew that approve of it. The relationship with my family I had was always distant.

"Not yet but soon, my love." I sigh wistfully. Koko seems to be satisfied with my answer but Natsume on the other hand is not.

"Don't encourage him." Natsume rolls his eyes.

I can't help but laugh at his comment and the corner of Natsumes lips turns up into a faint smile at my response before he turns to Koko and his expressions darkens.

"Koko, stop fucking around, the boys are waiting upfront for us after school so before there. You better not tell my parents that I am out tonight. He growls leaning towards me.

Aaand the cruel Natsume is back. His tone of voice harsh and his facial expression guarded.

Without another word Natsume storms out of the hallway and Koko sends us a quick wave and wink at Sumire. She blushes and looks away. Ruka follows Koko out but sends Hotaru a wave of goodbye.

"Young Lady, what is going on?" I question Sumire with a grin on my face. She looks at me with a pink blush on her cheeks.

"I-I don't know w-what you are t-talking about?" Sumire stutters.

"You like Koko don't you?" I say and she looks away. I take that as a yes. Before she could say anything else, the bell rings. We head off to our classes.

Finally the day is over. My last class has ended and everyone was rushing out the classroom door. I took my time heading out the door and to the lockers. I had gathered my things and placed them in my bag and closed the locker when a voice was heard.

"Hello Mikan." A masculine was heard behind me that startled me. Immediately I turn and see Reo. The good for nothing bastard who pretended to be my friend all this time. I glare at him while he smirks in return.

"What do you want?"

"Whoa. Feisty now are we?" he says. I walk off down the hallway. I can hear him behind so I start walking such faster. Suddenly he grips my arm, and I try to free my arm but he just tightens it.

"Let me go Reo" I say angrily.

"I need to tell you something."

"Well I don't wanna hear anything you say so let go!"

"Listen I—" I cut him off.

"No I don't want to listen. I heard enough from you. You made it clear last week what your intentions were with me. You don't need to explain yourself." I struggle to free from his grip. By now the entire school was watching us, everyone's focus trained on Reo and I with interest and curiosity.

I will admit that I do forgive people easily, and part of me did want to forgive Reo. I am not the person who holds grudge against people but at the same time I don't want people to push me around. Also, I feel as if I shouldn't trust him because everything he said about me was a bet to get on me. I don't want to give him a second chance or any chances for that matter.

"Mikan listen. I know what I said but—"

"She told you to fuck off." Now that was not my voice or Reos. Surprisingly it was Natsumes. The audience collectively gasps at Natsumes to the show and rolls his eyes as he stands out of the group. "Well not in those words exactly, but you get the idea."

"You fuck off Natsume. This is between Mikan and I." Reo sneers at him.

"Just leave her alone. She has no desperate intentions towards you."

"Shut the fuck up."

Natsume steps closer to Reo so the two are only inches away from each other, before he speaks in a low voice. "Make me."

Then Natsume gets a knuckle across his face…

Followed by another one…

And another one…

A small teacher comes by and attempts to break up the fight between the boys "stop it right now boys! Enough!." She cries in a small voice, going towards them nervously. Natsume and Reo pay no attention to her.

Natsume straightens up himself and whips the blood off his lip. He looks at the blood and then over to Reo with anger clouded in his eyes and throws an arm forward hitting Reos jaw.

My eyes widen at the ferocity of his punch, and I look at my side to see Sumire and Hotaru. When they get here? " This is getting out of control" I hear Sumire say.

"No shit!" Hotaru exclaims at her as she pulls out her camera and starts recording, while Sumire takes out her phone to take pictures of the scene in front of us.

The small teacher gasps in horror before running out of the drama, to grab another teacher, I think. Or maybe just running away from the drama, well I wouldn't blame her. I am tempted to do that myself to.

The two boys are tangled in a fight; punches, fists and kicks were been thrown at each other. I run towards them and grab Natsumes shoulder, "Natsume, stop. Please." I plead desperately at him.

He nudges me away from him roughly and swings another punch at Reo. "Stay back Mikan." He orders.

"This is ridiculous!" I exclaim at the both of them. How can they both fight so furiously at something so little? Immature I say. If anything I should be mad—not at Natsume though.

I try to nudge Reo away from Natsume and tear the two apart from each other, but no avail. "Damn it! Guys! Stop it! Stop fighting you both are acting like-!"

The next thing that happens so quickly and unexpectedly, that when it does happen everyone falls completely silent. Reo tries to throw another punch at Natsume, but as he does so, the punch connects with my stomach. A sharp pain erupts from my stomach and I fall backwards and my head hits the ground with a loud smack, and then, silence.

"MIKAN!" I hear Sumire and Hotaru, faintly.

"Bastard!" I hear Natsume shout at Reo. I see that he made it towards me with my blurry vision. "oh fucking hell Mikan." I hear him curse. I can see he is kneeling down at me, and lifts my head and puts it on his knee. Another way of cradling I think. "Jesus look what happened. You are such an idiot. Everyone knows you don't intervene in a fight stupid."

"Don't be so mean." I say as my vision gets blurrier by the second. I slowly blink and look around, in attempt to stay conscious.

"Hn." He says. he leans down and whisphers something in my ear.

"I'm sorry." He says. "Are you okay?"

I decided to make the light of the situation with a small amount of conscious left, "I left a million dollars in the-"

Then I fade into darkness.

"Hn. So dramatic." I hear his distant voice chuckle, before I hear a nasually voice scream.

"What on earth is going on in here!?"

Oh no.

Crap, it's the principle.
