ONE HELLUVA CRUSH

Chapter 9 One helluva date

"WHHATTT!"

Weber was absolutely surprised. Why is it that he never knew that? Why is it that no one told him?

Because you always think of yourself and you tend to block out information related to other people., his subconscious answered.

Now, he remembered where he heard that name… (conversations from previous chapters)

"Ha! So, you're still not a match with Natsume!"

"You already have Natsume!"

So he's my rival for Mikan's love, eh?

He noticed that Mikan was looking at him curiously.

"Ah.. hehe.. it's nothing. I was just surprised…", he tried to cover his reaction.

Hey! We're alone!, he realized.

He then remembered something…

----------ooooooo---------

"500 rabbits?", he asked incredulously.

"Yeah. Pay up and I'll make sure that Mikan won't refuse your request for a date.", Hotaru Imai said.

"How can I be sure of that?", he asked.

"I'm her bestfriend. So, be assured that I know how to influence her."

----------ooooooo---------

He glanced at Mikan who was wrapping bandage around his arm.

"Ano… Mikan-chan…"

"Hmmm?"

"W-will you go out with me on a d-date?", he asked.

"Okay.", she answered.

What? Just like that?

"Er, you heard what I asked Mikan-chan?", he asked again.

Mikan looked up to him and smiled, "Yes, I'll go out on a date with you Weber-kun."

YES! Imai-san is really good., he thought. Or maybe Mikan also likes me…

Hotaru is really such a genius. Now, the gossip between me and Natsume will be put into an end., Mikan thought.


That afternoon, Mikan and Weber went to the Central Town and ate in one of the best restaurants there. Weber acted like a true gentleman pulling a seat for her to sit first.

"Mikan-chan…", he started.

"Hmmm?"

"I'm really sorry for stealing your seat on class. I didn't know it was yours.", he said.

So, if it doesn't belong to me, you're not going to be sorry?

"No, it's okay Weber-kun. A new seat is a refreshing change.", Mikan said with a fake laugh. There's nothing refreshing sitting besides Natsume!

"Ano… Mikan-chan?", Weber started again.

"Yes?"

"A-are you and… are you and that guy Natsume… well, you know… an item?", he tentatively asked.

"What!" Mikan felt her blood boiling. "What are you talking about?"

"Are you and Natsume a couple? You know… boyfriend and girlfriend?", he asked.

"No!", Mikan denied forcefully. "I don't want to be associated with that pervert bastard!"

A smile came to Weber's lips. Yes! He stood up and walked then knelt one leg by Mikan's side. He then took Mikan's hand and brought it to his lips.

"Then, no one will mind if start courting you, my sweet angel?", he asked.

Mikan turned red.

"Stop it Weber-kun! Everyone is looking. Get up from there!", she whispered furiously, panicked from embarrassment.

Weber stood up with a big smile on his face then turned to face the other customers who were curiously looking at them.

"Don't mind us, ladies and gentlemen. I was just confessing my love to the lovely girl here."

A loud cheer was heard in the entire restaurant.

Mikan could not believe what was happening. She never thought this would be the outcome of her plan. She only wanted the rumors to spread that she's dating Weber Kenta. But becoming his girlfriend was not part of her plan!

Weber went back to his seat then took hold of her hand.

"Mikan, my darling, you just don't know how lucky you are to have caught my ever-wandering heart. I, Weber Kenta, 15 years of age, 5'9 of height, the most promising student of Gakuen Alice, the best player in all sports in my previous school… blah..blah..blah.."


"Hey, isn't that Mikan Sakura with the new student?"

"Where?"

"There. In the restaurant. Look, the guy is even holding her hand."

"Meaning, she's through with Natsume Hyuuga?"

"Well, looks like it."

"They look so sweet together."

(blah… blah… blah…)

And the news began to spread that Mikan Sakura is dating the new student Weber Kenta…


The next day…

A large tree stood proud still in the middle of the forest. Its branches and leaves swayed as the soft breeze pass through it, playing with its leaves and fruits. Then, suddenly…

It was burned into ashes.

A student looking out into the forest noticed it and commented.

"Hey, something seems to be on fire on the forest."

"Where?"

"Look over there. There's a smoke."

"Nah, maybe Mr. Bear was cooking something inside the forest."

"Yeah, maybe…"

Well, the truth is…

Natsume looked at the pile of ashes wherein the huge tree used to stand proud. He was on fire… actually he was on fire with jealousy.

Damn it! Damn that peacock! Damn them both!

He just heard that Mikan went on a date with Weber yesterday; then he saw red. Before he could create any damage to the people surrounding him, he ran into the forest and burned the poor tree.

I'm not going to hand Mikan to him. Never!

I have to do something!


What do you think Natsume will do?

Chibi Natsume grabbed from Hotaru the Baka Machine Gun, glanced at Chibi Weber and smiled evilly then cracked the Machine Gun… hehehe…

Thanks everyone for your reviews:-)
