Keep Your Heart Broken

Chapter 6: A wilting beginning?

"So you're wearing strawberries now…polka dots."

Days pass by like the wind

And this life is too short…

She looked up from the floor and saw the one teen she dreaded to see. The boy stared back at her, his eyes somewhat softening just for a few seconds. Silence overtook the classroom once more until one girl dared to destroy their moment.

"Natsume!" Sumire screamed as she once more tried to hug him. Natsume on the other hand just casually moved out of her way just like before.

All eyes were glued to the walking teen. He just silently walked to an available chair and just stared at the window.

Mikan just continued to linger on the floor dumbfounded of the boy before her, it was only after a deep cough was heard and interrupted her thoughts, and she instantly stood up.

She looked for the coughing figure and saw it was none other than the devil itself: Jinno. He glared at her through his small spectacles as she cringed under his vision. She quickly went to her seat beside Ruka.

"Class, sad to say I will be your math teacher for the rest of your high school year." He announced with a straight face. With that said groans of disappointment heard. "But for this day I will have to go somewhere and leave you to whatever you want." Cheers and noises were heard next.

Chatters and noises spread throughout the classroom while few students kept quiet, eyeing one boy who was still staring out the window.

Ruka stood up from his seat and slowly walked towards the said boy.

"Natsume?" He said and successfully getting the attention of the teen.

"How's it been?" He asked feeling a bit uneasy.

"Fine…" He answered standing up and motioned Ruka to come with him. Ruka just silently followed him like a lost puppy.

They were about to open the door when the knob suddenly turned and the door opened, revealing an older teen-ager. Tsubasa Andou.

"Mikan-chan where are you?" He shouted through the noisy classroom and caught not only her attention but one other's too.

"Tsubasa-kun." Mikan said running to her boy friend not noticing the staring boys beside the door.

"Free?" Tsubasa asked with his goofy smile and received a curt nod from the girl.

"Where are-" She was cut off by Natsume who roughly pushed Tsubasa out of the way, and was followed by Ruka with an apologetic smile.

Enfolding your love in my heart

By the dawn I'll be gone

Ruka stared at his best friend who quietly sat on the tree branch. He noticed his tightened fist and got worried as to how he was doing that.

"Natsume…what has happened to you?" He asked.

"What happened to you Ruka?" He asked back coldly.

"What? he asked back confused.

"I told you to keep Mikan what the hell happened!" He answered back furiously and now glaring at the blonde below him.

"It's not my fault…It wasn't my choice to make…and the fact that you didn't tell her the truth helped Tsubasa get her first." He retorted back.

He just replied with a scoff and focused her vision on something else, And there just a feet away the said girl was walking with her boyfriend. He continued to stare at her, her hand intertwined with his, her smile directed only to him and her eyes which now held a deep mystery.

"Look at what you did Natsume." Ruka whispered to him also staring at the happy couple. "She's changed ever since that day, and something worse…she's not Mikan anymore. She's not your Mikan anymore." He stated and just watched as he continued to watch her every move.

"What are you gonna do?" He asked.

"Nothing." With that said Natsume quickly jumped down the branch and with a last grip he let loose of his hand and let go of the wilting cherry blossom.

The road keeps us apart

For some time I'll be gone.

"You ok Mikan?" He asked the young girl.

"I'm alright sempai." she answered back and giving him a smile when she felt someone was looking at her. She turned around and two shadows lingered under the tree and there just beside her feet was a wilting cherry blossom.

Her wilting cherry blossom.
