Chapter 4: At the Northern Forest

Its mikan's class breaks time so she decided to go for a walk. Ryoma follow her.

"Hi there Mikan"

"Hello Ryoma" she said cheerfully

"Where are you going?"

"Going to take a walk"

"Can I come?"

"Sure thing she said widely smiling"

Natsume is under the tree reading his manga. When he heard a familiar voice, he follows that voice. He saw Mikan and Ryoma holding each others hand (the thing is they not really holding each others hand) he felt angry and jealous, he follow them.

Mikan's showing her ring to Ryoma (that's why he is holding her hand)

"It's beautiful" Ryoma said admiring hr ring.

"Yeah, someone give it to me. A gift actually for my birthday" Mikan told him. It's a ruby heart shaped ring. She really liked it because it's a color of someone's eye, Natsume. Even though she didn't know who gave it to her she feel that it's someone special to her.

"Who's that someone huh" he asked teasingly

"Well, I really don't know" she thinks about it

Natsume is at the top of a tree, he didn't hear what they are talking about because he is far away from them. What he sees and knows that Ryoma is holding mikan's hand and she is smiling sweetly at him. He gets really jealous. A fire appears in his palm when Ryoma stop holding her hand the fir disappear.

"Mikan I heard that there is a certain northern forest here" he asked her interestingly.

"Yeah and it's really creepy out there" she told him a bit frightened.

"Can you go there with me?" Ryoma asked her hoping that she would agree.

"Oh no! Its scary" she really is frightened now.

"Ill be with you and the sun is still up" he says convincingly

"Well, since you're just new here, alright just don't leave me out there"

"Why should I do that of course I'm not going to leave you"

She holds on to his arms. He blushed but he didn't notice it. They're walking towards the northern forest now. "Why is she holding in his arms? Are they couples now? Why are they going at the northern forest? For a date? Nah, that wouldn't be. There are too many questions in Natsume's head and jealousy is coming in his nerves. He decided to follow them.

At the northern forest…

"Hey Mikan"

"Yeah" she faced Ryoma

Natsume jump at the nearest tree towards them, so he can hear them.

"Mikan… I… I li... I like you Mikan! Can you be my girlfriend?"

Natsume was pissed off hearing this. Too many questions are in is mind "is she going to answer him back? What are they going to do now? I don't wan to see this" Natsume closed his eyes.

"Well I…I like you too but…" but before she could continue what she is saying Ryoma kissed her. He holds on to her waist. She was so slim, she was sexy. Natsume is walking away from them. What he saw and hears is enough. Hearing that Mikan liked Ryoma is breaking his heart into pieces and he don't want to hear that she loves him.

What Natsume didn't saw or hear is that after he ran away Ryoma stop kissing Mikan. Mikan continues what she was saying "you see I liked you as a friend. I loved somebody else"

"I know that already. You loved Natsume don't you?" he asked her teasingly.

"Well yeah, but I don't think that he liked me too. Much worst I really think he hates me" she said in a very low voice.

"That's what you think. Why don't you try to tell him?" Ryoma advised her

"I guess I'll try tomorrow" she says smiling sweetly at him.

"That's my girl"

She hugged him as a thank you.

While in Natsume…

He really felt liked crying. He felt betrayed "what was that kissed for? I really thought that she likes me. Is she just playing on me?" he felt so weak, he feels dumb. Anger flow on to his nerves unto his heart.
