CHAPTER ELEVEN- I LOVE NATSUME

It's another wonderful day! But to me…I think it'll be like any other day. I slowly went to the kitchen to eat my breakfast.

"Honey dear you're not feeling well these past days, is something wrong with you?" mom asked.

"No…I'm fine mom…don't worry about it." I muttered. I don't want to tell her that I'm feeling hurt because of Natsume.

After eating my breakfast I went to get my guitar. Today I will sing my new song to them. I know that it's not that wonderful since it's not really a wonderful song.

When I arrive at the school, Natsume was there already probably waiting for Hikari to come. But instead he went towards me.

"Hey Polka or maybe…tangerine." He said smirking.

"What do you want?" I asked sternly. I just don't want to talk to him.

"You don't miss me?" he asked. "And why would I miss you pervert?" I asked raising an eyebrow at him. He looks taken aback.

"So…tangerine is already very strict. Why's that so?" he asked I think to himself rather than me.

"Stay away from me jerk! What do you want anyway? Shouldn't you be waiting for your Hikari to come?" I said.

"No…I'm not waiting for her." He said firmly.

"And why's that so?" I asked.

"It's because…argh…you won't even understand. See you tangerine." He said walking away looking a bit sullen. What's really happening? What does he mean by I won't understand? Grr…I can't understand at all!

I then went to the classroom looking a bit sad. What the heck did I do that to Natsume? What's wrong with me? And why is it that he's not waiting for Hikari? I can't get it…I'm so confused already! I want to know anything that's happening.

"Hey guys! I have a new song today." I muttered.

"Yes! It'll be wonderful again!" The others cried. I look at Ruka; he seems worried and sad…

"Okay…this song is entitled 'Teardrops on my Guitar'…hope you'll like it everyone." I muttered. Hmm…I then look at the classroom…everyone is in their place already, Hotaru already preparing the video camera and the others were waiting in bathed breath…

But wait…there's someone missing. Someone who is the one who made me make this song…I began to cry but I tried to control it…right…Natsume isn't here…I began to strum the guitar. I have to present it right?

Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see
That I want and I'm needing everything that we should be
I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks about
And she's got everything that I have to live without

Drew talks to me, I laugh cause it's so damn funny
That I can't even see anyone when he's with me
He says he's so in love, he's finally got it right,
I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at night

When I sing this song, it always reminded me of Natsume. Natsume who is my friend, Natsume who is such a pervert, Natsume who is such a bastard, Natsume who breaks my heart because I…love him.

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do

Tears started to leak already and I can't control it anymore. The others saw me crying gasp but I just ignore them. Others were also crying…feeling the music…

Drew walks by me, can he tell that I can't breathe?
And there he goes, so perfectly,
The kind of flawless I wish I could be
She'd better hold him tight, give him all her love
Look in those beautiful eyes and know she's lucky cause

With this I think of Hikari. Hikari is so very lucky. For ten years Natsume have loved her and the feelings can't be easily broken. I cried so hard but still I sing so that it won't really ruin my presentation.

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do

With this I think almost all girls were crying. Of course Hotaru isn't but I think she's even grinning. What? Why is she grinning? But when I saw her grinning it's like my burdens were lifted. I don't know…

So I drive home alone, as I turn out the light
I'll put his picture down and maybe
Get some sleep tonight

He's the reason for the teardrops on my guitar
The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart
He's the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
He's the time taken up, but there's never enough
And he's all that I need to fall into..

Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't see.

After I finish singing they didn't clap or anything but instead went towards me to hug. I think that they could feel the pain that I feel when I'm writing the song and singing it. They always know that my songs are my mirror to what I am feeling right now.

While they were giving some hugs and some words of concern and wisdom or whatsoever it is I look over at the seat of Natsume…if only my feelings could reach to you…I then saw Hotaru, Ruka, Yuu, Anna, Nonoko and Koko went away. Huh? What are they planning?

After classes, I went to the sakura tree immediately!

Finally! Some peace and quiet! Now that I know that I love Natsume I just don't seem to know what to do next.

Mr. Narumi just announces that we will have the Last Dance the day after tomorrow. It could be fun…if you could spend it with the one you love…

But the boys earlier were really bugging me to be their dancing partner. Like I'd wanted to. I don't even know who they are. They kept saying that they want to dance with me. But I don't want to.

Oh about the Last Dance? Well it's just a custom of the school wherein who your partner is in the Last Dance then the two of you will be together or whatsoever they said. Last year I dance with Hotaru. Still some guys ask for me but I refused them all.

Natsume even didn't attend the Last dance last year. I know that Natsume was in the forest hiding together with Ruka. Oh yeah I forgot. Ruka also has his fan clubs. The two guys are the hottest in our school…no doubt that they were into hiding because of the fan girls.

"Hey Mikan-chan!" somebody called. Oh! It's Ruka!

"Hi Ruka!" I said. "What do you want?" I asked.

"It's about the Last Dance." Ruka said.

"Oh…about that…well…what is it?" I asked.

"It's just…there are many boys who asked you out for the Last Dance. Did you made up your mind on who will you go?" he asked. Oh! It's just about the Last Dance partner.

"I don't like to go actually…" I muttered.

"You don't want to? But Mikan-chan it'll be a wonderful event." He said astonish.

"Yeah…it'll be wonderful if you could spend it with the one you love." I said smiling weakly. "So…did you ask Hotaru to be your partner?" I asked.

"Uh…not yet…" he said turning scarlet.

"Hehehe…you should at least ask her. You know there are so many guys who are into Hotaru too." I said smiling.

"I…I haven't think of it." He said shyly.

"Don't worry; I'll help you on it." I said standing up.

"No! It's fine!" Ruka said.

"Are you sure? You won't need my help?" I asked. "Will you go this time to the Last Dance? I mean last time you didn't attend because of the fan girls." I said smiling.

"Yeah…and besides…the fan girls are the least of my worries." Ruka said.

"So…let's go back to the class already?" I asked.

"Yeah…" he said. We then went to the classroom together.

--------x0x0x0x0x0x--------

It's the day of the Last Dance. Many people are so excited. I really wish that I can be that excited as them. Earlier, the girls were busy putting make-up and doing the best they can do to look beautiful.

They even wear such elaborate gowns especially the fan girls of Natsume and Ruka. Probably hoping that the two of them will catch their attention. But what's the point of it? Ruka has someone he likes and Natsume…well…Natsume already has a girlfriend…

Today, I'm wearing a tube pink dress that was up to my knees and a pair of strappy white heels. I don't really bother putting some make-up. My mom says that I look beautiful even without the make-up.

When I went to the venue of the Last Dance, everyone is so very happy already. Well, I guess, it'll be also fun. I went to sit in one of the nearest table that I could find hoping to see Hotaru and the others. I doubt that Natsume will come tonight.

"Mikan-chan! Can you sing for us one of your songs?" one of my classmates cried calling at me.

"Sure. Any song?" I asked.

"Any song. Although I like it if you sing your song entitled 'Catch me I'm Falling'. She said.

"Okay." I said. I began to go to the stage and the crowds were beginning to be silent. As the music played I began to sing…

I don't know why but when I look in your eyes

I feel something that seems so bright…

You've got yours I've got mine

I think I'm losing my mind

Cause I shouldn't feel this way…

When I'm singing the song, I remember suddenly of Natsume. The moments that we shared…and the times that I realize that I love Natsume.

Catch me I'm falling for you

And I don't know what to do

How can something so wrong

Feel so right all along

Catch me I'm falling for you

How can time be so wrong?

For love to come along

Catch me I'm falling for you

How can love let it go?

When it has no place to go

And I can't go along

Pretending…that love isn't here to stay

Catch me I'm falling for you

I look at the crowds and they seem to be happy. I wish I could really be happy like them right now.

When I finish singing I then went back to my sit but this time, Hotaru, Ruka, Yuu, Koko, Anna and Nonoko were already there. I guess Natsume don't want to come at all.

"Hey guys! You look wonderful!" I cried at them. They all were beaming.

"Mikan-chan! You look absolutely smashing!" Anna cried and Nonoko giggled. "Thanks." I said.

"KYAA!!!! NATSUME-SAMA!!!" suddenly some girls were screaming again.

"NATSUME!!! DANCE WITH ME!"

"NO ME!"

"ME!"

"NATSUME-SAMA! I LOVE YOU!"

Geez…fan girls again! They're really so loud.

"I didn't know that Natsume could come today." I said. I mean, usually in this type of parties, he doesn't want to go or just hide. Natsume then went towards us. I then noticed that Natsume is so handsome today! I began to feel nostalgic when he went to us.

"Hi Natsume! Did you have trouble in getting out of those fan girls?" Ruka said grinning.

"And you?" Natsume asked raising an eyebrow.

"Oh…I manage alright. I'm with these guys. Not really that of trouble." Ruka said smiling.

"Hey Polka-dots! You have such a terrible voice earlier." Natsume said. Grr…does he want me to get angry at him tonight?

"I hate you Natsume! My voice is not terrible!" I said arguing. Even if I do like him he still bugs me to which I don't really like it.

"Really? I was having such a wonderful night when suddenly I heard your voice and it makes me sick." Natsume said. He's obviously teasing me.

BAKA! BAKA! BAKA!

"Ouch what the heck! Ice Queen what do you want?" Natsume said suddenly. Hotaru didn't answer but gave him a death glare. Gee…what's wrong with Hotaru today?

"Whatever. Polka I have to talk with you." Natsume said walking towards the bushes.

"Me? But why?" I asked.

"Just go Mikan-chan." Anna cried encouragingly. The others also nodded. What the? What the heck is going on?

Whew! Almost this story is almost finish guys! Kyaa…I wonder what the ending will be. Is it a nice one or a sad one…hehehe…actually I like the two of them both…haha…but what ending will I take? Hmm…anyway…please read and review guys!
