Chapter 3: Cruel and Unfair
Next Day: Sunday Morning 8:00am
"Ruka another bottle please…"
BUGSH…
It was a beautiful morning, The room was filled with a sweet scent of summer the curtains were closed but still sunrays enters to reflect the luxurious room…Mikan had dreamed about their GIG last night with Ruka and she suddenly fell on the floor because she was rolling in her bed thinking she was dancing on the dance floor
"Haaaah…" Mikan yawned and then stretches her arms
BLINK BLINK
"What the? Where the hell am I?...what happened last night?" She said to herself looking around the room.. and because she's stupid and the room was dark she didn't recognized it was Ruka's room.
MIKAN's POV
What am I doing in here? Where's Ruka?...'
I remember last night.'
Someone was arguing. .there were noise'
then I also remember something warm' she touched her lips and she notice's a light behind the door… she listened carefully
"What is that? I…I cant hear water dripping" she said sneaking quietly to the door..
Should I check it out?... what if it's a ghost' Mikan thought moving closer
"This is no time for that.. I have to see what's inside" Mikan said as she grabbed a candle holder in case there's a monster.. then she inched closer and closer..
"Here goes" then she sighed..
BAM (she slammed the door open)
Mikan's eyes widened what she saw was…
A raiven haired boy taking his shower inside the bathroom …speechless…blushing 12 colors of red.. Naked..
"Waaaaahhh….NATSUME!" Mikan screamed, she immediately covered her eyes with her hands…she slammed the door shut and ran towards the bed blushing madly..
A few seconds later Natsume went out of the bathroom, but now he was wearing jeans but still didn't have his shirt on.
"Hey, Little Girl" Natsume said in his emotionless voice. He managed to get over the incident and pretended it was nothing to him..
"…." Mikan speechless
"Pervert, peeking while no one else was here" he teased
"What did you say monster!" Mikan replied , with her angry big eyes..
"Huh…I didn't know you have the hot's for me" he looked away drying his hair with a towel
"In your dreams Hyuuga, Why am I here anyway? What have you done to me last night huh? Mikan asked still angry
"Your such an Idiot, go figure that yourself, you should know to be responsible with your actions" then he threw the towel on her face and put his shirt on…
Oh no really, what happened last nigh? I cant remember anything' Mikan thought, she was moved with what Natsume said to her…she was now nervous thinking that someone may have touched her..(YOU KNOW)
"Going to a Night Club and getting drunk w/o a chaperone with you…careless little girl" Natsume added not looking at Mikan's eyes
"But I a…I was…with" Mikan tried to say she was with Ruka but before she could Natsume opened the door and left her alone..
NATSUME'S POV
Have I done the right thing?' Natsume thought while he was running not knowing where to go.
I really don't have the right to lecture her..still' He slowed down
No, that should be a lesson to her'
Natsume found himself in the Northern forest near a River, He sat beside a big tree and continued thinking…
Oh darn, I cant believe she saw…' he blushed
"So when do I tell her?" asking himself
"I better get a move soon…tonight then…no maybe tomorrow….no next week…Oh darn!"
Natsume suddenly dosed off, he lacked sleep because of last night…
Mikan changed her clothes, and she left the room with a sad face, she was on her way to her room in the next building. She was still curious and confuse with what Natsume was saying.
Oh Natsume. Is he angry because I was with Ruka? But why?'
Ruka's his best friend and maybe he doesn't want him getting close with an idiot like me?'
Or is it the otherway around' Mikan thought hardly
Maybe he likes me and doesn't want'.. she suddenly stops
"No way! Dream On Mikan" she said to herself and then she hit her own head.
"Who are you talking to Mikan?" interrupted a girl with emotionless voice riding in a floating duck
"Ho..Hotaru!" Mika shifted to happy mood and was going to hug Hotaru
BAKA!(10x)
"Oh Hotaru that hurts" Mikan complained, she was crying waterfalls
"Give it up Mikan, your efforts or 6 years isn't successful" she replied
"Oh your so cruel, but I still love you" Mikan said as she stood up.
"Where are you going anyway Hotaru?" Mikan asked.
"I was looking for you, I hadn't seen you last night and I was worried idiot" Hotaru said giving Mikan a hand to ride in the duck.
"Really? I slept in Ruka's room you see, but he wasn't there when I woke up"
"Oh Hotaru I have to tell you what happened last night, Im really confused"
Hotaru sighed
"Ok, Ill listen, I also have something to tell you. But lets go have breakfast first" Hotaru said with a trace of excitement on her voice
Hotaru & Mikan entering the Dining Room
"Good Morning Hotaru, Mikan-chan" Yuu greeted happily.
"Good Morning Iinchou" Mikan replied. Mikan sat beside him and Hotaru sat on the opposite side.
"Mikan, Go ahead and tell me what happened last night in the Night Club" Hotaru demanded.
Mikan explained what she did with the VIP tickets, she told Hotaru and Yuu that she asked Natsume to come but he resist so she asked Ruka instead. She told them that Ruka taught her how to drink alcoholic drinks and how very good they are. She also told them how nice the Club was, full of light, people and good music.. then she passed out and found herself in Ruka's Room weaving Pajamas…Hey, should I tell that I saw Natsume in the shower' Mikan thought…No.. she didn't tell them, but she told them what Natsume said about her actions and how he lectured her..
Mikan sighed..
"You know Natsume's right Mikan" Hotaru starts lecturing her.
"You should know how to act at your age, you're 16"
"be independent…stop relying on others" Hotaru said in a soft concern voice
"Yes, I know, I'll change Hotaru I promise" Mikan said chewing her food.
"Hey, Hotaru have you told Mikan already?" Yuu asked
"Huh what is it?" Mikan said drinking water to clear the food.
"Mikan, Listen"
"You know that Yuu and I are honor students right?"
"Yeah" Mikan answered listening carefully
"Ok, both of us are student representative's and we are going to represent The Alice Academy Japan Branch in the International Alice Meeting" she sighed
"Yeah I know Hotaru you don't have to boast you know, so what if you're a representative?" she said waving her fork then drinking coffee
"So that means Yuu and I will go to NewYork this afternoon"
Mikan splashed the coffee all over Hotaru and Yuu…
"YOU WHAT? WHY NOW? WHY SO SUDDEN? HOW LONG" Mikan shouted and was crying waterfalls
"Calm down Mikan..its not like were gonna be gone forever you know?" Yuu said calming Mikan down.
"Im sorry Mikan they only announced it last night and since you weren't here I didn't have the opportunity to tell you" Hotaru explained.
"But How long are you going to stay there? Cant I come with you?" Mikan asked.
"It will be for 1month and 10days" Yuu said
Mikan's face fell, and she looked down covering her eyes, she wished she was dreaming..
"Hey" Hotaru called.
"You should promise me something Mikan, take care of yourself while were away"
"Don't get yourself into trouble, If you do…"
"I'll make you swallow a thousand needles" Hotaru said to Mikan
Mikan looked up and saw her bestfriend worried about her. She then realized how much she cared.
"I promise Hotaru, I'll be an independent woman!" she said then stood up.
That afternoon Mikan helped Hotaru & Yuu prepare their things. They enjoyed the time left telling stories and playing with Hotaru's inventions. Mikan stayed with her friends until the private airplane came to fetch them. Then she hugged Hotaru and Yuu and bid them goodbye.
"Ill be seeing you in a month Hotaru! TAKECARE!"
"Huh…" Mikan sighed
"Life is just so cruel and unfair" she said to herself
