Chapter 3: At the Central Town
Mikan woke up and it's already 8:30 in the morning. "Aaa, I'm going to be late!" she shouts loudly inside her room. She immediately stands up and when she step her foot, it hurts. It didn't hurt that much but still it hurts when she walks. She doesn't mind it at all. She took a bath and got dress. She wore white spaghetti strap (her cleavage has shown by it) with a jacket, a blue faded mini skirt and a snickers. Her curves are shown by her clothes and her hair is down, she looked at the mirror and adores herself. When she exits Natsume at her room she saw Natsume at her side.
"Good Morning Natsume!" she greeted him cheerfully. "What do I look?"
He feels his blood coming up on his face "really beautiful" he thought
"Wow, you look gorgeous!"
Natsume and Mikan glanced to who the voice is. Natsume's hand clenched. Mikan blushed lightly.
"Good Morning Ryoma and thanks" she said to him smiling.
"Good morning to you too! You're welcome" He replies. "So may we go now, they might be waiting for us there" he said showing his hands to her.
"Flirting along the corridor huh, as if I was not here"Natsume thought angrily
"Oh, alright then" accepting Ryoma's hand "Wait" she approaches Natsume "Natsume want to come with us at the central town? Ruka is going to be with us for sure". "Whatever" he says emotionless "That's great then!" she took Natsume'shand. Mikan realize it, Natsume pull out his hands. They both blushed. Ryoma saw it and he interfere.
"So let's go then". They walked through the gate. Mikan is at the center and the two boys are beside her. The two boy's eyes met. Ryoma smiled at Natsume but he just smirk at him.
When they reach the academy gate. Hotaru is already with Ruka (they are boyfriend and girlfriend now)
"Good Morning" she greeted all her friends. "Good morning" they greeted back.
"HOOOTTTTTAAAAARRRRRUUUUUUUU" attempting hugging her. Someone grabbed her wrist "Don't try you just going to hurt yourself" its Natsume. They look at him, shock "What are you staring at?" "Nothing" Ruka said.
"Something's changed in him" Hotaru told Ruka
"Yeah" Ruka replies
"Mommy!" it's Youichi running towards them. He hugged his so called mommy.
Youichi grabbed Natsume's hand. "Daddy Natsume!" He exclaimed. Natsume blushed but he looks away so no one could see.
"Youichi do you want to go at the central town with us" Mikan asked him. "Sure mom"
The bus arrived…
"Here's the bus" Mikan said excitedly.
Hotaru and Ruka are with each other at the front see. While, Natsume, Mikan, Ryoma and Youichi is at the back seats. Youichi sits at mikan's lap.
"They are not couples yet so I still have a chance" Ryoma thought smiling.
"Youichi you should sit here at my lap you're heavy for your mom now" Natsume told him. "Oh alright. Sorry mom" "that's alright" she smiles at him. He sits on Natsume's lap.
"Looks liked a happy family huh" Ryoma thought
The bus stop…
They all get down.
"Let's just meet here at 4" Hotaru told them
Hotaru and Ruka…..
They are walking store by store holding each others hand. Girls around them are jealous and some boys too.
"Do you think Natsume will confess to her" Hotaru asked.
"Maybe. Since Ryoma is with them he will be force to confess.
"Yeah maybe"
Mikan, Natsume, Ryoma and Youichi….
They walked store by store and it's already 3:00 (ha-ha, I just want the time to be faster, hehehe) Mikan spotted the fluff puffs.
"Youichi do you want some fluff puffs?" Mikan asked him with a gentle smile.
"Sure" she gave him a box of it "Thanks mom" he gave her a small smile.
"Wow, it's really delicious" she says childishly. "Here. Ryoma have some"
"Thanks, wow, it taste great. He gave her a warm smile"
"Natsume want to have some?" When she turned around to give Natsume some fluff puffs her foot suddenly hurts. "Ouch" when Mikan going to fall down Natsume caught her in her waist.
"Thanks for that" she gave him a painful smile (it's because of her foot)
"Watched your moves little girl" when she's going to argue back her foot hurts again.
"Mikan are you alright?" Ryoma asked her with concern
"Yeah just fine" she answered him.
Youichi looked worried. "Don't worry about me" she tapped him on the head.
Natsume laid her on the bench. Ryoma is sitting beside her.
"We're just going to buy something. Wait there with Ryoma"
When they were out of sight…
"Mikan is your foot really hurt?" Ryoma asked her
"Not much. I guess some rest will do"
Natsume and Youichi arrived "mommy!" Youichi running towards her. "Daddy bought you some medicine and a gi-"Natsume cut him out.
"Here. Drink this it's a pain reliever" Natsume told her.
"Oh thanks. But don't you buy my water" she asked him.
"I forgot"
"I'm going to buy some drinks for you" Ryoma stood up and leaving them
"Thank you"
"Yeah, you should go away you just disturbed us" Natsume thought evilly
Natsume is pulling out her shoes. "What are you doing?" Mikan asked him "putting bandage on your foot. Don't you put bandage on your foot before you leave?". "I forgot about it". Youichi are just staring at them smiling.
Silence….
"Natsume, thank you"
"What for?"
"For last night…"
"Is that for the kiss?" Natsume asked her emotionless. She got hurt because she thought Natsume liked her even a little bit.
"No" she was hiding her feelings. She doesn't want to cry in front of him again. "Not for that. For putting bandage on my foot and helping me change my clothes" she was blushing really red. Even Natsume she just didn't noticed it.
"You already pay me" he said coldly. He smiles only to himself.
Ryoma saw this. He interfere them, he gave Mikan the bottle of water. "Guys, I think we should go it's already 4. Ryoma told them.
"Right" Mikan said cheerfully.
