Chapter Thirteen:
I was looking on the floor, completely contemplating and thinking if I'm really inlove with that pervert.
"Mikan."
I looked up and saw Hotaru. I smiled.
"Where are the rabbits you owe me?" She asked while holding out her hand.
"But Hotaru! I don't have money!" I exclaimed.
"Okay, so you'll have to pay me in a different manner." She said.
"Sure! Anything!" I said with a big smile.
"Let me see... Anything?"
I nodded. It shouldn't be so big.
"Okay, kiss Natsume." She continued.
My mouth fell open, I laughed. She's kidding, right?
"You're kidding, right?" I asked her.
"Kiss Natsume infront of me and Ruka, if you don't, I'll tell everyone how you feel towards Natsume."
"HOTARU! How could you be so mean?"
She just smiled.
"Wait, who told you I like him?" I asked.
Hotaru didn't answer.
"I want that kiss tomorrow. 6pm."
She started to walk.
"HOTARU! NO!"
She ignored me and continued walking. I was left there with my mouth wide open.
Natsume's POV (as requested by my favorite reviewer)
I was walking through the school grounds and saw the idiot running in different directions.
"What the hell are you doing, Polka-dots?" I asked her.
Stupid, she'll get dizzy with what she's doing.
She stopped as soon as she heard my voice.
"Err... Natsume..."
Is she stuttering?
"I asked you a question, idiot." I said calmly with my hands in my pockets.
"Stop calling me names!" She shouted.
So, now she stopped stuttering?
"Only if you stop being an idiot." I retorted.
It's just fun playing with her.
She jumped at me immediately, taking a hold of my neck.
As if she can do anything. Does she actually think she can threaten me?
She was just looking at me with her eyes almost full of hatred. I looked at her. She immediately stood up.
"Eek! Sorry, Natsume!" She apologized, then she ran.
Huh? What was that? One moment she was on top of me, glaring at me then she's running? Is she running away from me? I shrugged off the possibility and minded my own business and followed her. Something's wrong with her.
I walked towards the Sakura Tree, I know she's going to be there. She's so predictable. I pushed the bushes that was preventing me to go inside the forest, now, she got in, in this forest, that fast? My guess was right, she was there. She was sitting under a Sakura Tree, with her head resting on her knees.
"Oi! Polka-dots!" I said, interrupting her stupid reflection.
She looked up at me, slowly. I guess she knows it's me.
"Yes?" She said.
Now, she's weird. Does she ever say "yes?"? In that way?
"Why'd you run?" I asked her as I sat down beside him, my legs were tired already.
"I... I had to do something..." She told me.
Stupid.
"Do what? This?"
She gave me a smile, which seemed really fake. This idiot's bothering me with her problems.
"What's wrong?" I asked her. This idiot always has problems, stupid problems that even birds can think of the solution.
It took her a few seconds before she answered me. She's always like that.
"Well, Hotaru blackmailed me again." She said. "She told me to kiss this boy or she'll tell everyone that I like this... err.. boy."
And who's this boy? If I ask Imai who that is, she might blackmail me... with what? I smiled inside. She's got nothing on me.
"You idiot. Choose between the two, choose where you're more comfortable with." I told her. I know it wouldn't help that much, besides, I'm not even planning to help her.
I've got something to do.
Before I stood up, she got up first.
"Thank you, Natsume!" She told me.
I was surprised. Did that actually help her? Idiot.
I looked away.
"Yeah, whatever." Heck, I didn't know what to say. She wore that smile again. The smile I hated. She always wears that smile when she's happy.
"Thank you again, Natsume, for helping me in my problems." She told me.
I didn't say anything.
What was I supposed to say? Did I really help her?
What do you think? I had some last minute changes in my grammar here.
