Foolishness

"Nat-su-me…" she called out ever so sweetly.

Must. Not. Look. Back. Must. Not. Look. Back. I thought over and over again and tried to concentrate on the image of a volcano in my textbook.

I was helplessly fighting the urge to look at the more interesting image but was close to failing to no avail.

Besides, it was so hard when you have a half-naked girl in your bed calling out to you in the most sugary voice you've heard in your life that's just begging to-

I shook my head as another bead of sweat hit my notes.

Focus Natsume. Focus. You must not let her defeat you. I told myself as I tried to read the textbook that I should've been finished studying ages ago. Fire is one of the four basic elements. Controlling fire can be very dangerous and can be very hard but not as hard as ignoring a half-naked girl in your b-

I gripped the book tightly in my hands.

I must CONCENTRATE.

"Nat-su-me… can't we talk now?" I heard her speak again.

I must not let my hormones get the best of me. I said to myself fiercely as I filled my mind with information about fire controlling.

But all was lost when I suddenly felt a hand on my shoulder.

I stiffened.

Suddenly, fire controlling was the last thing in my mind.

"Oh…Nat-su-me…" I called out in a sing song voice.

I saw a bead of sweat hit Natsume's notes.

I grinned evilly.

I finally caught his attention.

Bwahahahahaha…

It had taken a lot of concentrating to be able to think about what my next tactic was and since all others failed; I knew this was the only one that could work. Natsume was a guy and cannot and will not resist a half-naked girl on his bed because that's just like breaking the rules of masculinity.

"Nat-su-me…" I called out again in the sweetest voice I could muster.

Another bead of sweat hit Natsume's notes.

I resisted cackling evilly.

I wasn't really half-naked because I always wear two tops since it gets very cold at night in the Alice Academy but of course, he didn't know that so I took advantage.

"Nat-su-me… can't we talk now?" I asked still in sweet voice mode.

There was no way he could resist me now. I concluded happily.

But after a few minutes, there was still no answer.

A few more minutes passed by but no responses were heard or even seen.

Oh my god! I thought as my eyes widened.

There can only be one reason why he's not responding to me in anyway.

My head dropped as the realization hit me full force.

Natsume's gay!

I smacked myself in the head.

No, he can't be gay, it's just not him. I told myself as I fiercely shook my head. And besides, he acted jealous! That must count for something, right?

So now that I have some proof he's not gay, what am I supposed to do?I've tried everything to make him notice me but he's just hell bent on ignoring me. I thought grimly.

But then when all hope was lost, another great idea dawned on me.

I smiled gleefully.

--

I couldn't move.

Time seemed to stop between us and I seem to have lost the use of mobility.

I feel her going nearer till I felt her breath near my ear.

I gulped.

This cannot be happening…

"Why do you keep on ignoring me?" She asked in a feigned hurt voice.

I couldn't speak.

And my ability to talk seems to vanish as well.

"Answer me, Natsume… Or am I supposed to force it out of you?" She whispered seductively.

I was sweating nonstop now.

She's half-naked…half-naked…half-naked…

And that seems to be the only thing in my mind at the moment

"Why can't you say anything? Cat got your tongue?" she asked arrogantly as I felt her move away from me, thankfully.

It took me a few moments but I finally managed to say something.

"I-I don't know…" I stammered and quickly wished I haven't said anything anyway.

"What? I didn't quite catch that." Mikan said but I knew she heard that by the tone of her voice. "Could you look at me when I'm talking to you? I hate talking to your back."

Wh-what? I thought, not really registering what she said.

I felt her hand again on the chair and with one quick motion turned me around.

And I saw…her, still dressed in black spaghetti and smirking at me.

My jaw dropped.

She was still dressed… still dressed… I thought to myself as I realized she have been fooling me all along.

My sudden shock turned into anger.

The one thing I hate most…

I stood up and glared at her viciously.

"Get out." I said coldly.

Is making me look like a fool…

Her face turned into confusion.

She still doesn't seem to register that I didn't share her sense of humor.

"Get the hell out of here, you whore." I said angrily.

Her eyes widened in surprise as unshed tears started flowing.

And then she slapped me.

"I hate you! You fucking bastard!" And with that said, she hurriedly run out of the door.
