ONE HELLUVA CRUSH
By: Esa MaRie
Chapter 3 Operation: Revenge on Natsume!
"Really? Natsume's partner has a crush on him? The former no-star? But I always see them arguing…"
"Nah, maybe it's only her way to catch his attention."
"Besides, it's really possible."
"Yeah, Natsume sure is hot!"
"And gorgeous!"
"I love his eyes! I wish he could spare me a glance with those crimson eyes!"
"I wish he'll notice me too, then make me his girlfriend!" (sighs)
"You wish!"
The four girls giggled and continued their gossiping. Mikan heard their talk while she was hiding at the back of the school building, trying to avoid the teasing of her classmates.
Damn Natsume! She wanted to cry but she knew it won't solve her problems. I have to prove that I don't have a crush on Natsume. But how? How did this even happen? I have to do something… something…
"Imai! Give me those pictures!" she saw Ruka running after Hotaru who is riding her flying swan.
"You do my chores tomorrow and I'll give it to you.", Hotaru answered back then flew away.
"That's blackmail…", complained Ruka. He let out a defeated sigh, then left.
A smile came to Mikan's face. Blackmail, huh? Now, I know what to do…
Plan A…
Mikan was sitting on a branch of a huge tree near Natsume's room, holding a camera she borrowed from Hotaru. Hehe. I'll spy on Natsume and take a picture of him while he's in a compromising situation. Hmmm… what kind of situation would that be? Natsume in his underwear or… nude? Mikan blushed at the thought. Maybe I'll be able to discover a secret of his. Maybe he's wearing a polkadot brief. Or maybe he's gay… Hehe…
Using the camera's high tech zooming feature, she saw Natsume walking out of the bathroom. He was wearing loose shorts and was toweling his hair. Nice body… she thought. No wonder girls go gaga over him. To think of it, he's really good looking… What the hell are you thinking, Mikan! She slapped her face to compose herself but it also caused her to lose her balance.
"AAAAHHHHHHHH!" BAMMM!
Some of the students heard the scream and went to investigate. They found the unconscious Mikan with her eyes in swirls and a broken camera in her hand.
"Heh? It's Mikan Sakura. She fell from the tree?"
Just then, Natsume looked down from his window, curious at what was happening below.
"Hey, isn't that Natsume Hyuuga?" a student asked when he noticed Natsume on the window.
Another student looked from Mikan, then to Natsume, then from Natsume to Mikan. Then he looked at the tree and noticed that its branches are really near Natsume's window. Then he looked at the camera and a smile crept on his face.
"Hehe. Looks like we have a stalker here…"
And the news spread that Mikan Sakura was spying on Natsume Hyuuga…
Plan B…
Nonoko is in panic. Anna is already waiting for her outside but she's not yet finished with the chemicals she's mixing. Last, the hydrochloride…
POOF!
The chemical turned from blue to violet.
Success! Now, I'm ready to go. She stretched her arms but she managed to knock down some bottles of chemicals from the shelf.
Oh no! She picked the bottles then arranged them on the shelf when she noticed that 2 of the bottles do not have labels. Oh my. I forgot to stick the labels on the bottles.
She took the labels and tried to stick it on the bottles but then realized she could not determine which is which, since the chemicals are both of the same color. Hah! I'll just stick it temporarily then check it again later. Then she left.
Mikan smiled as she saw Nonoko hurriedly left her laboratory. She went inside, then checked on the bottles on the shelves. Stomachache… stomachache… I've already seen it here somewhere… Ah, here it is. The label was quite crooked but she didn't mind at all. Now Natsume, you'll pay!
"Hi Natsume!"
Natsume looked up from his lunch to the smiling face of the idiot in front of him. "Want something, Polkadots?" he asked.
"Just want to give you this. I baked it myself.", Mikan said sweetly.
Natsume was surprised but he accepted the cake.
"Enjoy it!" Then she left and sat with Imai and the others. Murmurs from the other students can be heard from inside the dining area.
What's gone into her? he wondered. He took a piece when he suddenly noticed a puppy beside him sniffing the cake.
"Ruka?"
Ruka sheepishly smiled. "Sorry, Natsume. I just couldn't resist bringing Gohan here…"
Natsume looked at the puppy and could see that it was drooling over the cake. He sighed then handed the piece to the puppy who greedily ate it.
Then something weird happened. The puppy's eyes swirled as if he was dizzy. Then, when its eyes cleared, it fell on a brunette who had a horrified look at her face. Then its eyes changed into… hearts! Gohan jumped from the table and ran to Mikan.
Arf! Arf! Arf!
Before Mikan could react, the puppy had jumped on her and was happily licking her face, its eyes still in hearts. The puppy had fallen in love with her! What the hell!
"SAKURAAAAAAAAAAAA!"
Sumire angrily approached her, then lifted her by the collar, with the puppy still clinging on her feet.
"You dared to put a love potion on my Natsume!"
"NO! It was not a love potion! It was supposed to cause him stomachache!", Mikan tried to defend herself.
"YOU LIAR!", claws began to form on Sumire's fingers but before she could hurt Mikan…
BAKA! BAKA! BAKA!
"Stop it, you two.", Hotaru said holding her Baka Gun.
Mikan removed Sumire's hands from her collar, then ran as fast as she could away from there.
And the news spread that Mikan Sakura desperately tried to use love potion on Natsume Hyuuga…
Plan C… failed.
up to...
Plan J… failed.
"AAARRRRGGGGGHHHHH! I HATE YOU NATSUMEEEEEE!"
