ONE HELLUVA CRUSH
By: Esa MaRie
Chapter 4 Natsume's True Feelings
On top of one of the branches of the Sakura Tree, a young boy was leaning his back on the trunk and appeared to be reading a manga. But the manga was not on is mind at the moment. An image of a pretty brunette suddenly came to his mind, and a small smile appeared on his face.
That idiot… he thought. Does she really have a crush on me? She doesn't look like it… but I hope… she does…
Natsume Hyuuga, 15 years old and also a first year high school student of Alice Academy. Tall, handsome, with black hair and ruby eyes, he is considered as one of the most popular students in the Academy. On top of that, he is a genius and possesses one of the most powerful alices – the Fire Alice.
During the last 2 years, he had been dubbed as a major playboy due to the number of girls he had been dating since he was 13 years old. Actually, he never considered them as his girlfriends. They were the ones who declared themselves as his girlfriend after he accepted their invitations to go out.
He doesn't count his dates, only that the last girl he dated declared herself to be his 17th girlfriend. He was just bored and never really cared what others say of him.
Besides, there is only one girl that he wanted to be his real girlfriend.
Yup, the idiot Mikan Sakura. He had long acknowledged that he liked her, even loved her. Maybe when he was still 10 years old.
But back then, he tried to fight it. They had gotten a little close before, but he couldn't accept that he was changing because of her. The more she smiles at him, the harder it is for him to contain his feelings. He was confused with his feelings. He then resulted to severe teasing, making her angry; until the time came that she completely hated him.
"Mikan…" he whispered.
Yeah, he loved her but no one else knew. Not even Ruka. Only Kokoroyomi knew because he likes to read his mind, but a threat of being roasted alive was enough to keep his big mouth shut.
It's been years but he continues to tease her and makes her mad at him. Why not? It's better than being totally ignored. At least, she's still speaking to him, acknowledging his presence, even if not in a favorable way.
He returned his gaze on the manga, but another image came to his mind.
Wear a thong and I might consider…
He shook his head, remembering his stupid words.
But what if she does…?
He let out a silly grin as he pictured a sexy Mikan in a… (wink ;-)
