Chapter Three:

As we watched the sunset, no words came out of our mouths. I looked at Natsume. I like him this way. He seems so nice and quiet.

"Stop staring, you idiot." Natsume said without looking at me. "Why do you keep staring at me?"

"Nothing." I answered. "You just seem different today, that's all."

Silence.

"Natsume?"

"Hn…"

"You're so popular, why don't you have a date today?" I asked. "I'm sure a lot of girls asked you."

"Because I don't want to go out." He answered, still not looking.

"Go out? But you did, you bought---"I stopped as I realized what I was saying. Natsume didn't want to go out, but he went to Central Town to buy me Fluff Puffs. I blushed.

"Don't you like any of them?" I asked.

"No" was his only answer.

I fell silent. But then again, a question came into mind.

"Do you like anyone?"

He looked at me.

"Would you stop throwing me idiotic questions?" he said with a glare.

I smiled at him. Maybe he does. He smirked.

"What about you, little girl?" he asked.

I looked up at the almost night sky. I really don't know, do I? I asked myself. I crossed my arms and looked at Natsume.

"No." I lied. I'm all confused.

Natsume didn't say anything. He looked away and continued looking at the lake. I still continued to look at him. Even though he's such a jerk, somehow, he makes me happy.

"Again, idiot, stop staring or I'll burn your hair." He suddenly said. I stopped staring. He stood up.

"C'mon, polka-dots, It's dinner time."

"Stop calling me polka-dots!"

"Only if you stop wearing them, but then again, there's still strawberries."

I blushed in embarrassment. I stood up.

"You're such a pervert!" I shouted, he laughed and walked first. I followed him.

He walked first with his hands inside his pocket.

When we got into the cafeteria, there were just a few people. A few couples who chose not to spend the day in Central Town, some people who didn't have dates and us… together. Natsume and I shared the same table. As we passed by, people whispered, I know what they're saying, why is Natsume with this girl on Valentines Day. Natsume didn't seem to care. We sat down with our food. My food got better since I'm a 3-stars already while as always, Natsume was as rich as ever. After finishing our meals, Natsume stood up.

"Where are you going?" I asked.

"What do you care?" he said.

I put the ends of my two index fingers together.

"Well, I'm alone." I confessed.

"So what?"

He's beginning to irritate me with his remarks. I just looked at him. He sighed and walked on. I followed. He led me to his room. It was big, with a four-poster bed near the wall, a couch on the left, an armchair near the fireplace and a soft cushion near the windows. He opened the windows and went out; I still followed although I was scared. He walked calmly, like he's never going to die, I walked as safe as possible, actually it was more of a crawl. Then he lied down with his hands behind his head. He closed his eyes. I sat beside him.

"You're gonna sleep here?" I asked. That's a weird way to sleep.

"You really are an idiot." He said without answering my question.

I sighed and imitated his position, but it got a little uncomfortable. I involuntarily moved closer to him as my eyes began to droop. I can already hear his heartbeat. He didn't seem to mind that my head was resting on his chest.
