Chapter Twelve:

I stared at Natsume, waiting for his answer, what's taking him so long to say the name?

"It's..." He repeated.

I continued to stare.

"It's none of your business, Polka-dots." He said. "Besides, you can't help me with her."

WHAT! He let me wait that long?

"Why not?" I asked.

"Because I don't like anyone."

"Don't deny it, Natsume. I eavesdropped remember?" I said with a smile. "So, don't lie."

He glared at me.

"So? Did I say I like someone? And even if I do like her, she's too stupid to notice so I'll eventually end up hating her." He said.

"You're so mean, Natsume. Why are you so mean to girls?" I asked.

He ignored my question.

I sighed. I give up. I stood up and walked towards the door.

"Where are you going?" Natsume asked me.

"I'm gonna walk outside, I need some time alone." I asnwered.

"I thought you don't want to be alone, Polka-dots?"

I ignored his tease. As a matter of fact, he's right. But I need to spent some time, without him.

"Well, right now, I want to be." I said as I opened the door and left.

He's so mean. I bet that girl would be happy if she knew Natsume likes her since almost every girl in school likes him or they think he's so cool. Ha! If they only know how mean he could be, but I guess he's nice too.

I held out my hand as I walked through the hallways and started counting Natsume's nice deeds. One, I held out one finger, he comforts me when I'm sad. Two, he accompanies me when I'm alone. Three, he bought me Fluff Puffs. Four, he let me sleep in his room. I stopped. Wow, that's four and I've got more! (Wow, that rhymes!) Maybe Natsume is really nice deep inside. The girl is really lucky to have Natsume like her.

Am I actually envious of that girl? No. No. Absolutely not. Then that would mean I'm falling for Natsume! Ewww... Gross.

"Hey Mikan!" Ruka greeted as he walked towards me with Kokoroyomi.

"Hey guys!" I greeted back.

"Have you seen Natsume?" Ruka asked me.

Before I could answer, Kokoroyomi spoke.

"He's in his room." He said, he read my mind, obviously.

"Oh, okay! Err.. Thanks, Mikan." Ruka said as he walked first. "Koko, you coming?"

"Sure, I'm just going to tell Mikan something." He told Ruka.

I wonder what that is. Kokoroyomi laid a hand on my shoulder.

"It's okay to fall inlove with someone, Mikan." He said.

EEP! I was shocked. He read my thoughts awhile ago!

"You're alice isn't that effective yet although I did have a hard time reading." He continued with a smirk, then he walked towards Ruka. "I sih I could tell you who he likes but Natsume will kill me." He said as he waved goodbye.

He left me speechless and shocked of what he just said. I should've known! I slapped my forehead. I shouldnt've let Koko read my mind. Now he knows and he might tell Natsume!

I ran after Koko.

"Koko!" I called out, Ruka and Kokoroyomi looked behind them.

"Please don't tell him. Please?" I pleaded.

Kokoroyomi nodded and smiled at me. I sighed in relief.

I really wish he would keep his word.


Yeah, I know it's short. Sorry, mehn. But thanks for the reviews.
