Natsume was undera Sakura Tree, his manga covering his face. He was lying down on the grass.
"Natsume-kun!"
"Mikan?" He quickly turned around.
"No, it's Sumire." She said with a smile on her face. Natsume didn't say anything, he went back to lying down on the ground, covered his face with the manga again.
"Anyway, I was wondering, would you accompany me in Central Town?" Sumire asked.
'She really reminds me of Mikan.' he thought.
Natsume stood up and said "Better hurry up." Sumire gave Natsume a big smile. They went together in Central Town. Natsume wasn't talking, neither was Sumire. She was glad that she had this chance to spend time with Natsume alone.
"Thanks, Natsume." Sumire said.
Natsume just accompanied Sumire to buy food.
'Sumire seems really different.' Natsume thought.
Sumire suddenly held Natsume's hnd. Surprisingly, Natsume didn't do anything. He gave Sumire the chance to hold his hand, and thatw as the same thing Ruka did.
"I love you, Mikan." Ruka said.
"I love you, Natsume." Sumire said.
Mikan and natsume was surprised. Mikan didn't know this while Natsume knew Sumire liked him, not loved him.
"Ruka, I'm sorry but I haven't figured out my feelings for you yet. It's too soon." Mikan said as she bowed her head.
"Not now." was all that Natsume can say. "I'm sorry but not now."
Sumire was okay with this since, she knew Natsume was falling for the Mikan-like Sumire.
The next night, Mikan kept thinking of what Ruka told her.
'Maybe I feel the same way.' She thought. She smile d and left the room to tell Ruka how she feels but she bumped into someone.
Natsume.
"What the---?" Natsume said.
"Oh! I'm sorry... Natsume." Mikan said then she quickly ran through the hallway, but then she stopped, she looked behind her. She saw Natsume walking with his hands in his pockets.
'What about Natsume?' She thought. 'We broke up! Why am I still thinking about him?' She continued to walk but stopped again to look at Natsume but Natsume wasn't there anymore. Mikan shook her head and went for Ruka's room.
When she got to Ruka's room, she was about to knock but hesitated.
'But Natsume... Ruka isn't Natsume.' She thought. 'I love Natsume but I can't have him anymore.' A few tears fell from her eyes.
Natsume strolled outside, thinking about Mikan, still Mikan. But then, the Sakura tree gives him the most comfort after Mikan.
As he walked through the trees, he heard someone crying. A shadow of a girl was all that you can see.
It was Mikan.
