Chapter Twenty:

Mikan's POV

I woke up the next morning with a little guilt inside of me.

Was I too harsh on him?

No, he's a jerk, he deserved it.

I yawned happily and took a glance at my clock.

Wow, I woke up a little early today.

I did my daily routine and got out of my room. Since I still have a lot of time before our classes, I decided to take a walk outside.

When I got out of our dormitory building, there was a large crowd near the forest. A very large crowd. I walked over there.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you."

I looked at my left and saw Natsume, leaning on a tree.

"And what do you know?" I asked him coldly.

He looked at me and went inside the forest. I ignored him and went towards the crowd and pushed myself in. At last, a familiar face. Hotaru.

"It's her!" Someone shouted from my right.

"You slapped Natsume!" Another girl shouted.

Omigod! Hotaru taped us!

"I will get you for this, Hotaru!" I shouted as I ran out of the crowd.

They must be Natsume's fan girls.

"How could you do that to my Natsume?"

"Who do you think you are?"

Those girls started to chase me. This is all hotaru's fault.

The girls are starting to catch up on me. I think they even use their alice on me. Thank God for my alice.

"You so have no right to do that!"

I didn't bother to look at their faces nor even look if they're all girls. Then someone took my hand and pulled me into the forest.

It was Ntausme.

"Let go of me!" I demanded.

Honestly, I know I should be thankful, but still...

He let go of my hand and walked away, I followed.

"Why are you following me?" He asked.

"Well, you did save me. Thanks." I said.

Natsumewent tohis tree and sat down, I sat down on the other side of the tree to separate us.

"And now you're nice?" Natsume said.

"I've always been nice to you!" I said. "But look, I'm sorry."

"For what?"

"For backing out on you and slapping you."

He didn't say anything.

"I guess everyone knows that I slapped you now." I told him. "I'm really sorry about that, it's just that I was so frustrated and ou burned my skirt."

"It was your fault." He said.

I crawled over to his side.

"Can you stop that?" I asked him.

"No"

I'm starting to hate him all over again.

I leaned against the tree.

Why does he have to be so mean to me? Yuu and Ruka are so nice to me, but Natsume...

"I hate you." I said. I stood up, ready to leave but then again, those girls still might be looking for me, so I sat down again.

"If you hate me, why are you here?" Natsume asked with his eyes closed.

I asked myself the same question.

Why?

Oh yeah, the fan girls.

"Hehehe... I think you fan girls bought the tape already. So, if I go out, they'll kill me." I said while I scratched my head. "I haven't even eaten yet."

I rubbed my stomach.

I am quite hungry. Why do they have to hate me for slapping Natsume? After all, he's a jerk.

I heard Natsume sigh, he stood up.

"Don't leave me here!" I said as I stood up also. "I'm going with you!"

He didn't say anything. We went out of the forest together.

"It seems like we both spend so much time in the forest, don't you think?" I said as I smiled at him.

Still, he didn't say anything.

"Now, every girl hates me because I slapped you. I'm really sorry, did it hurt?"

"There she is!"

Natsume and I, both looked at our right. It's the fan girls (Natsume was on my left). The girls glared at me as they walked towards me.

Although I have the nullifying alice, I haven't fully mastered it yet. So in defense, I went behind Natsume, as if to hide. And it worked. The girls stopped.

"Natsume!" A blonde haired girl said.

Some of they sighed in love. I saw Natsume roll his eyes and muttered "Idiots", then walked away, revealing the scared me.
