Chapter 1

He was always so calm and composed. No one had every seen him losing control of his emotions, well, maybe except Ruka. But that was the last time, he had swear to himself, he was going to let out his emotions. His other classmates found him cool and mysterious, especially the girls. However, not all girls, there was one who was exceptional- Mikan.

He could not help thinking about her every time. Why did she always laugh? Why did she always smile? He had been pondering over these questions that were engulfing in his head that he did not see where he was going.

" Ouch! Hey! Watch where you are go-- NATSUME!"

A familiar voice brought him back and he realized that he had knocked onto the irritating girl he had been thinking about- Mikan.

" Oh" came his reply and he walked away. He knew that she was not going to let him off like this. He did it purposely just to see her reactions. Her unexpected reactions always amused him, keeping him away from his troubles.

" How can you not apologize to me when you are the one who knocked me!" shouted the irritated Mikan from behind. He smiled to himself and turned back.

" So finally its my turn to knock you huh. It seems that from the past, you had been the one knocking me more often you know?" He teased back.

Mikan's face turned red immediately. "Was it because she is embarrassed about her actions or is it because of something else?" He thought. He could not help noticing how nice her curl of hair was today and how funny it was to see her face blushing.

" I DID knocked onto you before but at least I apologize!" Mikan by now was so angry that she ran up to him and pulled him to demand an apology from Natsume. " SAY SORRY!" she put her face close to his when she said it. For that instance, his face felt hot. It was the first time her face was so close to his.

" Hey pokers dot panties, are you trying to kiss me?"

Mikan immediately pushed him back- with her face red.
