ONE HELLUVA CRUSH
By: Esa MaRie
Chapter 8 Three Star meets the Special Star
"Weber-kun?"
Weber turned and smiled at the three girls. They giggled and each handed to him a letter and a gift.
"For you!", they all said at the same time.
"Thank you ladies.", Weber said flashing them a big smile.
"Aaaiiiieeeee!", the girls screamed with delight.
Hah! I'm the most popular boy in Alice Academy!
He strutted as he walked along the corridor when… BAMM!
He landed on his butt.
"Damn! Watch where you're going, idiot!", he shouted at the person who bumped him.
He prepared another set of curses but stopped when his gaze met the cold stare of a pair of crimson eyes.
Tall and dark-haired, this guy looks like someone who should not be messed around. But of course, this guy is no match for me. I'm a 3-star alice, future special star, with the power to control the wind!
He stood up and met the guy's cold gaze.
"Natsume! Come on. We're gonna be late.", a blond boy holding a puppy called.
The dark-haired guy gave him one last cold look, as if issuing him a warning, then followed his friend.
Natsume? Where did I hear that name?
Weber entered the classroom and his eyes scanned through the room searching for… Ah, there she is!
"Mikan-chan!"
Mikan looked up and gave him a small smile.
Hehe… He approached her, then placed his hand on her desk and leaned forward. "Ohayo… my sweet angel…", he whispered softly to her.
"O-ohayo.", Mikan smiled tentatively while leaning back. What now, she irritably thought.
He smiled brilliantly at her at was about to leave when his eyes caught the murderous gaze of a pair of crimson eyes.
That guy!
"You!", he pointed to Natsume. "You're the idiot who bumped into me!"
Weber didn't remember this guy since his face was always covered by a manga.
The whole class ceased to move. The atmosphere in the room spells out only one thing - danger!
Then the girls freaked out.
"Weber-kun, no!"
"Anyone but Natsume-kun!"
"I'll kill you if you touch him!", Sumire shouted. (loyal fan of Natsume!)
"Hah! Don't worry ladies. I can handle this guy. I, Weber Kenta, the most promising student of Alice Academy, the most handsome, the most… AAAHHHH!", Weber shouted as his sleeve began to burn. He began to run back and forth trying to stop the fire.
"Use your alice Weber-kun!", the girls tried the help him. One girl took even took the vase from the teacher's table and splashed the water to Weber but the fire did not die down. Instead, it even got bigger.
Weber was in panic. He's already using his alice but he could not stop the fire. What the hell's going on?
"Natsume Hyuuga, that's enough!"
They all turned at Mikan's shout.
Mikan rushed to Weber's side and helped him put out the fire using her nullification alice. "Come, I'll take you to the clinic.", then she turned to Natsume.
"You're despicable!"
Natsume's eyes darkened. "So, you're on his side, little girl?", he asked savagely.
Mikan just gave him a cold look, then left accompanying the injured Weber.
"Natsume, why…?", Ruka tried to ask but stopped knowing that there's no way he could reach out to Natsume considering his dark mood.
Natsume kicked his desk then stormed out of the classroom.
"Are you okay, Weber-kun?"
Heaven! But Weber kept that silent. "Ouch! The burn stings.", he said instead.
Mikan added more ointment on his arm. Actually, it seems that his arm was not injured. There was only a slight pinkish mark but she doubted that it was serious.
"Your arm is going to be okay now.", she smiled at him.
Such a beautiful smile…, he thought. Then his thoughts went back to that Natsume guy.
"Damn that guy! I would have clobbered him to pieces if this accident didn't happen!", he ranted.
Mikan looked at him incredulously.
"It wasn't an accident.", she said.
"Huh?"
"You tried to pick on the wrong guy, Weber-kun."
"Huh?"
"Natsume caused that fire on your sleeve. He has the fire alice. And he's the only special star rank student in the whole high school department.", she explained.
"WHHATTT!"
Well, that's for chapter 8...
Thanks everyone for your reviews... :-)
