First of all, I wanted to give a HUGE thank you to all of you who reviewed and supported me! I love you all! Sooo… Here's what you've all been waiting for!
Chapter 8 – Flashback
Natsume
She told me everything. She? Who the hell is this "She"? And why hadn't I noticed earlier? Could it have been Hotaru? Nah, she's always somewhat hated me, but she'd never do anything serious. ARRGH! I've got half a mind to barge into her room right now. But that would get me nowhere. I'll make sure I corner her alone tomorrow to explain exactly what is going on. An image flashed in my head. It was of her crying earlier, obviously hurt. Jeez, what did I do this time?
Normal
Mikan sat lying on her bed, still awake. That idiot. She thought, Did he actually think that I would be another girl who would believe his lies? But, when he confessed to her, it felt real. And part of her wanted it to be real. But at least she's finally got the truth. She thought
*Flashback*
Mikan was wondering around, waiting for an opening to go sneak inside the sakura tree to think, when Cora Kinochi (we know her as one of Luna's lackeys) came up to Mikan, "Hey, you're with Natsume Hyuuga right?" Mikan didn't know how to answer this question. "Um, we're friends, but we're… not, um, dating." That was all Mikan could answer, because it was true. The girl looked at her with worried eyes. "Please Mikan, you're a sweet girl, don't fall for any of Natsume's tricks" "Tricks?" Mikan asked, "Yes, he will tell a girl how much he cares for her, loves her, and whisper sweet nothings, but… He will use you, then throw you away." Cora looked at Mikan, who thought it was some kind of joke set up by Luna. But… Luna was nowhere to be seen. ""And how, if you're so keen on the subject, would you know? Aren't you a new kid?" Mikan chuckled slightly. This stumped the newbie. But she quickly recovered, remembering what Luna told her to say, "W-well, I used to be here! Yeah… But I left once Natsume broke my heart." Her eyes turned sad. But Mikan, being sympathetic and gullible, just listened and believed. Everything this girl was saying broke her heart into tiny shattered pieces. As much as she didn't want to believe it, it stayed in her mind. She'll ask him about that later… When they were done talking, Mikan headed over to the sakura tree, not seeing Luna come out of the shadows to congratulate her lackey.
*Time skip*
"I love you, Ms. Mikan Sakura." That was what made her snap, the thing that made her believe everything that was said. What made her snap, slap him, cry, and leave.
*End flashback*
Mikan
That idiot doesn't deserve another chance. My gosh, how could I have let him, for all this time, pull one on me so easily? That won't happen again. I heard a knock at my door.
Normal
Mikan opened the door, and there was Dimitri. Handing her flowers, sakura blossoms, her favorite, and handing her chocolate. "Saw you crying earlier, thought you could use some cheering up." Mikan smiled and told him all about the events that occurred. Dimitri, growing angry at Natsume, did not show his feelings. Only nodding when needed. They both ended up falling asleep in Mikan's room, awaiting the scene that would occur tomorrow.
