Jealousy Hurts

Chapter 10: We'll Meet Again…Right?

It was a bright and sunny morning. Birds were chirping their way….and the flowers were as beautiful as ever.

Mikan woke up just in time.

She did her daily morning routines and went directly to class.

"Good morning everyone! Especially Hotaru!" Mikan greeted with another annoying big and wide grin plastered on her face.

She sat down right away.

"Hiya Mikan! " Greeted Yuu while approaching her desk.

"Mr. Narumi said that he needs to talk to you right now if you don't mind "

"Sure….No prob. "

With that, Mikan stood up right away and headed to the teachers' room with Yuu.

Mikan opened the door to see if Mr. Narumi was there.

"Hi Mikan…I asked you to come here because you haven't used your Alice since you had that horrible…horrible accident." Mr. Narumi called out.

"And….?" Mikan asked with her head tilted to the right.

"We just wanted to test your Alice if you still have it."

"Why? Nothing's wrong with myself…"

"Well….we just wanna know, Mikan.." Mr. Narumi explained.

"So how are we going to test Mikan's Nullifying ability, Mr. Narumi?" Yuu asked out of the blue.

"I'll be using my Pheromone Alice on her and we'll see if she could still nullify it. Are you ready Mikan?" Mr. Narumi said.

"Sure! Ready when you are!"

Mr. Narumi then started to use his Pheromone Alice on her.

After some time, Mikan started to feel dizzy already and she acted like she was drunk!

After showing these signs, Mr. Narumi stopped using his Alice.

"I'm sorry Mikan but I'm afraid you have lost your Alice…." Mr. Narumi said with a face showing half sadness and half disappointment.

"What? But……" Mikan exclaimed

There was a long and terrible pause after that, Mikan lowered her head. Then after a few seconds, she faced up again and asked

"What'll after to me? Mr. Narumi?"

Mr. Narumi just couldn't answer. So Yuu just explained it all for him.

"We're afraid you'll have to leave Academy, Mikan….we're very sorry…"

Mikan was very shocked.

Mikan didn't want to accept it…

But she didn't have a choice.

Mikan's POV

I walked down the long and lonely corridor leading to my dorm room.

I just couldn't accept the fact that I didn't have my Alice anymore….

Before I knew it, I had pictures of my friends appearing in my mind.

What would happen with my friendship with Hotaru….

Yuu…..

Ruka….

Sumirei….

Anna and Nonoko….

Mr. Narumi….

And especially…..

My dearest Natsume…..

I started crying my eyes out as soon as I entered my room. I didn't even bother looking at a piece of rectangular paper placed on my desk.

Before I even knew it, I was asleep…I still had my tears.

I woke up 7:30 am the next day. I went directly to the mirror to see how I was.

'yuck…' I thought…My face was stained with tears…

I turned to my desk topped with books and notebooks. I scanned the stuff. Then my eyes went through a piece of rectangular paper neatly placed on top of a book.

'Maybe I didn't notice this letter last night….since I was crying my eyes out' I thought.

I neatly opened the letter and read it's contents. I had my eyes wide again since the letter said:

Dear Ms. Mikan Sakura,

Word has been sent to us that you have your Alice in your

accident. Because of this, we would like you to leave as soon as possible.

The Academy.

Normal POV

"I…I guess it means now…." Mikan said, crying again.

"I…….I have no choice" Mikan said with a smile.

Mikan packed all of her things right away. It was against her will to do it…but then again…she had no other choice but to follow the Academy's order.

Before she left, she wrote letters to all of her friends and slipped it in the hole under their door.

She knew that if she said "goodbye" to them directly, it would only just let her cry again and it would be harder for her to leave them.

After giving the last letter to be given in the dorm rooms, she went straight to the cherry blossom tree where Natsume would always stay.

She placed the letter on the spot where he would sit and put a rock over it so it wouldn't fly away. She looked at the tree before leaving.

She was crying when she placed it there…Leaving a person you love…just because you lost your Alice….

I heard you're taking the town again

Having a good time.

With all your good time friends.

I don't think that you think of me.

You're on your own now.

And I'm alone and free.

I know that I should get on with my life.

But a life lived without you could never be right.

She then walked away, heading towards the gate. 'I wonder how Hotaru and the others would feel….if I left without saying a thing or a word to them…I feel awful doing this……' Mikan thought.

As she was getting closer and closer to the gate, someone called out

"Hey Mikan…..Where do you think you're goin'…."

It was Natsume.

Mikan stopped crying and smiled

As long as the stars shines down from the heaven.

Long as the rivers run to the sea.

I'll never get over you gettin' over me.

Mikan's POV

I stopped crying and smiled as soon as I looked up.

"Sorry Natsume…..I don't have time to explain it to you…." I said….

Then I ran towards the gate.

I looked back and he was running after me.

The guard on duty opened the gate as soon as he saw me. It looks like the Academy told him I was leaving.

I went passed the gate. Leaving Natsume inside…He couldn't do anything anymore…

"I'm really sorry Natsume…I…I…just have to leave…" I looked back and smiled again.

I tried to smile so the hurt won't show.

Tell everybody

I was glad to see you go.

But the tears just won't go away (won't go away)

Loneliness found me.

Looks like it's here to stay.

I know that I ought to find someone new.

But all I find is myself always thinkin' of you.

"I left a letter under the cherry blossom tree that you always sit under….I hope you'll understand." I said foolishly….of course he wouldn't understand…

"Why are you doing this?" He shouted to me.

"I can't tell you…."I said teasingly…although it was hard. "You'll just have to read the letter…"

"Look Natsume…Before I leave…I just wanna say thanks for everything…. And……" I looked to the other side, facing my back to Natsume.

As long as the stars shines down from the heaven.

Long as the rivers run to the sea.

I'll never get over you gettin' over me.

"I just wanted to say I like you….."

Then there was a long embarrassing pause.

After that, I took 3 steps forward…getting farther and farther from the gate.

"Look Mikan!" He called out…

I didn't look back.

"What is it…."

oh... No matter what I do.

Each night's a lifetime to live through.

I can't go on like this. I need your touch

You're the only one I ever loved...

"I like you too…." He answered.

"Really?" I looked back with a happy face.

"Of course…."He assured me.

And as long as the stars shines down from the heaven.

Long as the rivers run to the sea.

I'll never get over you gettin' over me.

I'll never get over you gettin over.

Never get over you... gettin over.

I walked again… leaving Natsume behind.

"We'll meet again…..right?" Natsume asked.

"Of course…"

This time, I was the one who assured him.

I'll never get over you gettin' over me.
