I was now walking again on the pathway of our school together with Hotaru. I was thinking.....Yesterday....wait what exactly happened yesterday. I remember I was crying again, and that guy, Natsume! A drew a shocked expression on my face. I was leaning on him while I cried and later I...SMILED, LAUGH, because of him.

"Are you alright Mikan?"

"I'm fine Hotaru, why?" I asked, I think she noticed my expression.

"Your expression today," as expected from Hotaru.

"Why, what's wrong?" I asked hesitantly hiding the truth.

"Don't hide it, I can see through you."

"Okay you win, it's about Natsume."

"What's wrong with him did he hurt you?" she said. I don't know how to start this with Hotaru and i'm pretty sure she'll gonna laugh. How wouldn't she, the ice queen, in love with this ice breaker. C'mon Mikan, think, think, think.

"Mikan?" Hotaru shocked me.

"Hotaru don't do that."

"Mikan your confused, i'd never seen you like this before." she said. i'm confused? What? Mikan Sakura confused? Wait this is really not me, why is this happening to me??!! "Mikan!" Hotaru snapped.

"What?"

"Your out of your mind, you need some rest."

"Rest? I don't need a rest, i'm fine Hotaru, real fine." really, i'm NOT. I never felt this way before. Am I Mikan? Where is Mikan? What's wrong with me, i'm confused!

"Earth to Mikan, are you listening?"

"Yeah I am."

"Then what did I said."

"Uhmm clinic?"

"Clinic?? You really are out of your mind. I haven't even mentioned about the clinic. I was saying you need to go home."

"Home? No way, I don't want to babysit that bastard, it gives me a headache."

"Okay then just calm down."

"Okay, i'm calming down, i'm calming down, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10...." I counted and yeah I calmed down. I take a seat at the bench next to us.

"Are you okay now?"

"Yeah i'm fine," every student that pass us would stare at us, giving us a weird expression. They thought that we haven't heard a single bit about their whispers. Some would say "What are those ice queens doing?" and some would say "What wrong with that Mikan girl?" what a life, no privacy at all.

"MIKAN!!" a guy shouted, and yet another pain in the neck arrived.

"Natsume," I said.

"Are you alright?"

"Yeah i'm fine." I said and a girl looked at us with a sharp eyes, I know that she was mad at me. She is Luna Koizumi, a senior student in Class-D, the lowest of low, the rebellious of rebels and worst. She was massively in love with Natsume, she even carved Natsume's name as her pendant. How'd I know? Rumors know it all. She's obsess I say. I think she's already mad at me, she's mad of all the girl that Natsume is close with. Well I kinda like this jealous part thingy, I like seeing someone suffer from jealousy, i'm evil.

"Hey Natsume, you biggest fan is looking at us. Think she pre-tty mad, you bet-ter stay away from me. Or else i'm dead meat." I told Natsume. He looked behind, and Luna looked the other way.

"She'll be the dead meat if she lay a finger on you." he said, aahh so sweet, eew.

"I think she would be a tasty pig." Hotaru teased.

"Boy am I going to be full." Natsume added, they are such a meanie. "What yah say, let's go."

"Go where," I asked curiously, thinking that they are serious about the pig thingy.

"To the classroom silly," Natsume said then grabs my hand and as I glanced at Luna I can see her boiling, I know she was so mad. Bwuahahahaha. Now I know the meaning of closeness. Being close to someone somewhat makes you feel protected. Even if Luna looks at me like food, I know that Natsume and Hotaru will protect me.


*SLAP*

"What are you doing with my Natsume dearest?!" Luna slapped me, how dare she. She better not do it on the first place.

"Natsume dearest? Your making me laugh. And who said you have the right to slap me. You BITCH." I said

*SLAP*

"Don't call me that." she said. She's affected, she really is a bitch. Talking to me without manners, just because of one boy.

"Affected? Won't you just shut up Luna Koizume, you, you idiotic minx. I'll report you to the police for this. You ferociously went overboard, do you even know who I am? Do you even know a single bit who you are dealing with? Well think again, you think I can't handle you? I can throw you to prison whenever I wanted too."

"Then why are you flirting with Natsume?"

"FLIRTING??!! How dare you call me a flirt when you yourself is more of a flirt than me. Do you have eyes? Or your sight was just blocked with jealousy. Can't you see that he was the one who neared me, talked to me and grabbed my hand."

"Why'd you accept it?"

"You're giving me stupid questions, of course he's my friend, he has been my friend ever since birth. How can I refuse so. I'm out of here." I tried to go out from this stinky room, but she grabs me back. The place stink like pig, so that's why they call her a pig even I she had a skinny body.

"I'm not done with you yet."

"Yes you are." someone said.

"Natsume!" I shouted. "Thank God you're here."

"Natsume, look what she done to me." Luna sob in a fake way. Natsume pushed her away which makes her drop to the floor. He neared Mikan and saw the red spot on her cheeks which made him so furious.

"How dare you slap her on the face. Don't you know that you where the first person to slap her. Even her mom or dad can't lay a single finger on her face that hurts her. And you yourself, having no rights, slapped her? You are such a looser." Natsume yelled at Luna, this makes Luna subdued, making her cry, good for her, she deserved it. "Get out from our sight, if you dare to touch Mikan again, you'll be dealing with the police on the my next watch."

"Natsume," I stopped him, he was furiously hot.

"I'm sorry," Luna said.

"Get out from here you idiot." he yelled again, Luna ran as fast as she could. Everyone stared at us blankly. "What are you looking? The show is over idiots! Get out from our sight NOW!" everyone hurriedly went to their supposedly classes.

"Are you alright Mikan?" he asked touching the red print on my face that Luna left behind.

"I'm fine, how dare she slap me. My father don't even dare to hurt me, and she dares? What a nerve."

"Calm down Mikan. If she'll hurt you again she'll be a dead pig."

"Speaking of pig, this room sinks like one, how can she live in here. What's in this room anyway?" I said and tried to find the switch to the bigger lights. I was shocked with what I saw. "Are you seeing what I am seeing Natsume?"

"I think I am, I think she brought you to the pig room. Let's get out f here."

"She really is a pig lover, and that's what makes her a pig despite her skinny body, am I right?"

"I think you are," he said -smack- he kissed me on my cheeks.

"NATSUME HYUUGA, what did you do?"

"Nothing, in fact I deserve some coz I save you life."

"Save half of my life, I don't deserve this slap for heaven's sake!"

"That's why I've kissed your painful cheeks so it will heal soon."

"BAKA," I hissed.

"Where is mine? I think I deserve one."

"You're not have one," I laughed, in my entire life this is my first time I laugh this hard again, and it's all because of this boy in front of me. There is something in him that makes me smile, he makes me happy. And I dont know if i'll ever gonna lost him again. I've lost too much, I don't know if I can take it again if i'll lost him.

Both of us was laughing, as I was thinking, I was starring at him. This makes him feel shy. "Why are you starring at me like that?"

"Nothing."

"Oh no, that's something. You stared at me smiling so cute."

"I was not," I denied.

"You like me, ei?"

"Li-like you? No way." I denied again, lol, yes I know, I'm growing to like-love him. He's the only one who dared to open my heart in all those years. I never expected my heart to open up to someone again. He really is somewhat special and I thanked him for everything he had done to make me smile. I go through life thinking someone else will make me happy, but i'm wrong, happiness is my job, I just need someone else to share it with, and I found that someone. And i'm never going to let him go away from me, losing him would be like losing myself. I'd already lost everything, i'm never going to lose another again.

"Denial, you like me ei?" he and kissed me on the cheeks,,

"NATSUMEEEE!!!"

"She's blushing," he teased.

"I am not, you were the one who like me, coz you keep on treating me like this, am I right Mr. Hyuuga?" he didn't reply instead he just smiled.
