But it's not just a love triangle! There's something more!
Chapter 2
Mikan couldn't find her. She's nowhere to be found.
Well, the ever-so-wise-and-greedy-when-it-comes-to-money-blue-haired-purple-eyed girl was taking a video of it; of the confrontation. Her bangs hid her face as she held the video camera behind the bushes.
The moment she heard someone walk away, she stood up, got out of the bushes and followed Ruka.
"Nogi," she said, her voice cracked.
He turned around and noticed the camera on her hand, "Ah! That's—"
"Tell her," she broke him off and talked in a serious voice, "If you don't, she won't know. That idiot's really dense."
Droplets of water started to fall from the sky as tears welled up in her eyes. She quickly turned around –shaking her bangs away from her eyes – and ran away.
Ruka's eyes widened, "Are those tears? Or just the rain?"
The next day, at school, Ruka gathered all his courage to tell Mikan her feelings. That morning was a very nice opportunity because Natsume is not around yet. He asked Mikan to go out of the class room and she smiled a sign of agreement. As they walked out of the door, Ruka gulped. And gulped.
And when they were outside, he gulped again, tightening the grip on the bunny he's always held.
"What is it, Ruka-pyon?" she asked, tilting her head.
"I – umm… uhh…" — he sighed heavily – "I lo—"
"Polka."
"Natsume," she said, looking away from Ruka.
He sighed once again and stared at Natsume with cold eyes. He failed.
"We're going," Natsume said, glaring at Ruka.
"Where?" she asked, wondering about the two guys. 'Something is definitely wrong. 'Wonder what it is,' she thought.
"Central Park," he answered, grabbing her hand. He dragged Mikan – again – outside.
"Really?" her eyes were sparkling with happiness. "Ah! What about school?"
Natsume didn't answer her question. They walked past Hotaru who was on her way to class.
She rolled her eyes after seeing the two. She continued going to the class and saw Ruka, looking sad. "Looks like I need to help him. I prefer him rather than that guy for that idiot," she pouted.
In front of the school gates, Natsume suddenly stopped and said, "Never ever talk to that guy again."
"Eh? Ruka-pyon? Why? And what's wrong with you two? You were glaring at him! You're best friends right?"
"Shut up. Stop asking stupid questions. Let's hurry," he continued to walk to the station. "He was my best friend. 'Can't believe it's destroyed 'cause of a girl," he whispered.
"Are you saying something?"
"Get in," was all he said to her, pushing her in the bus.
The bus was crowded. The seats are all occupied. Natsume walked to a person and glared at him saying, "Stand up."
The guy gulped and followed what he said.
Mikan saw the guy sweating a lot and apologized for Natsume. Then, Natsume pulled Mikan telling her to sit and she did while he just stood there in front of her.
"Would you like to sit Natsume? We can switch if you'd like," Mikan said, looking up to see his irritated face. There were too many people and just a little more and he'll lose his shirt.
He didn't answer. It's a good thing that the park wasn't far enough.
Natsume said that he didn't eat yet and is hungry. So their first stop was a fast food. He bought a hamburger and a can of Coke for each of them. Mikan was full but ate the food anyway.
While eating, they were silent.
"So you keep quiet when eating huh?" he teased.
She rolled her eyes and stuck her tongue out.
Natsume took another bite of the hamburger and drank his Coke.
Mikan was surprised by the things that went inside her head while watching him, "Did I really thought of him as handsome?" she whispered making sure he won't hear it.
"Hurry up. Polka," Natsume stood up and Mikan stuffed the whole burger in his mouth – almost choking – and drank her Coke.
She followed him wherever he goes. They went to a dress shop and made Mikan fit every single dress there. He didn't buy everything though. He kept on shaking his head for almost every time she got out of the fitting room.
Then, to a jewelry house. He examined each one that got his attention and then looks at her, shaking his head every time again. Mikan sweat dropped and sighed. In the end, he bought a single pair of earring and a necklace for her.
They also went to an accessory shop and bought a lot of hair accessories. She didn't insist. She just accepts everything he gives because she knows that it's not good if you say No to him. Besides, she won't be able to buy these things herself.
After all those shopping, they sat on a bench, watching the orange sky and the setting sun.
"This is our first date," Natsume said.
"Eh? Date?!" she complained.
"Yeah. Let's go back," he smirked bringing all the things they or he bought.
"Well. You're quite a gentle man sometimes huh?" she chuckled, walking backwards in front of Natsume.
"Shut up."
After reaching the dormitory, Mikan hastily went to Hotaru's room. She showed her all the stuffs Natsume bought. While Hotaru was taking a good look on the necklace, saying that it was expensive and asking it from her so she can sell it to someone but Mikan wasn't listening. She's thinking of the time when he's eating.
"He was gorgeous. Astonishing. Handsome," she said, her eyes looking in the ceiling.
"Who?" Hotaru asked, hitting her with the idiot-gun. "Idiot! Idiot! Idiot!"
"Ouch… You didn't have to do that!"
"Who was gorgeous, astonishing, and handsome??" she asked again.
She stayed silent for a while and remembered that it was… "Natsume!" she shouted and quickly covered her mouth after.
Hotaru's eyes narrowed, aiming for her head with the idiot-gun again.
"Hotaru~!"
She sighed and stood, taking the video camera and put it on the bed with them.
"What's that?" Mikan asked.
"A video cam, you idiot."
"I know that! What I mean is what're we gonna watch?" she insisted.
"Just shut up and watch, idiot," she said clicking one of the buttons.
"Yeah right…" she looked closer waiting for the cam to play.
