Chapter 5: Hanabi Festival
Narumi: Good Morning Everyone! As you know, this is the first time we are going to have Hanabi Festival which will be organized by the teachers.
Everyone: Hanabi Festival?
Narumi: Yeah! This is the first time the school is going to hold this event. There will be food and games AND not forgetting fireworks!
The noise level in the class raised as everyone started to get excited about Hanabi Festival.
Narumi: So prepare and enjoy yourselves tomorrow! Before I forget, yukata for Hanabi Festive will be send to everyone by today. (wink) so find yourself a date for the firework! Got to go, Jaa.
As usual Mikan is excited for tomorrow's Hanabi Festival.
"Hotaru! Did you hear that?" said Mikan
"I'm not deaf…" replied Hotaru
"Let's enjoy ourselves tomorrow!!" said Mikan who rushed over to hug Hotaru
"BAKA! BAKA! BAKA!"
Mikan shrieked
"Act like a 16 years old kid you idiot, don't come near me"
"HOTARU! Heartless" cried Mikan
"Oh my goodness! Please don't fight anymore Mikan, Hotaru!" said Yuu
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" screamed Mikan
Yuu ran over to stop Hotaru from trying her new exterminator invention on Mikan.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Natsume and Ruka POV)
"Find a date hm….maybe I should" thought Natsume who took a peek at Mikan whom is getting exterminated by Hotaru.
"Should I ask Hotaru to be my date…" wondered Ruka looking at Hotaru whom is testing out her new invention again.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Erm…N…Natsume" stammered Mikan (who survived Hotaru's inventions)
"Hum…" replied Natsume calmly, though inside he is surprised by Mikan since he is busy thinking about whether he should ask Mikan out for tomorrow's date.
"I…"
"Spill it out" said Natsume who is getting impatient.
The nervous Mikan tried again to ask Natsume out for the date but failed.
Natsume who is pretty irritated, set fire on Mikan's uniform.
"Y-YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!! WHY DID YOU DO THAT NATUSME! HOTARU, HELP ME!!" cried Mikan.
Natsume smirked.
"Use your Alice, Baka" said Hotaru coldly.
"Oh, I forgot! Thanks Hotaru" cried Mikan who went to hug Hotaru tightly.
The whole class was surprised when Hotaru did not shoot Mikan.
"Don't you have something to say, polka dots?" called out Natsume.
Mikan, who finally let go of Hotaru, turned around and stared at Natsume angrily and said "I have NOTHING to say to you anymore" before going back to her seat as Jinno sensei entered the class.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(Mikan and Natsume POV)
"What is it that she wants to tell me? I will ask her again later…" thought Natsume who is not listening to Jinno's teaching.
"Why did I fall for a guy like him!? His confession… was it just a joke?" thought Mikan angrily.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
After school at the corridor
"Hey Polka-dots, what did you want to tell me just now?"
"……."
"Oi, I am talking to you idiot"
"I told you I have nothing to tell you"
"Spill it out before I burn your hair this time round"
"Go ahead, I will nullify your fire"
Natsume pulled Mikan.
"I wanted to ask you-"
"Let go of me!" Mikan shouted angrily at Natsume and struggled out of Natsume's grip before running off, crying.
"…" Natsume, who is stunned by Mikan's outburst, watched her figure becoming smaller and smaller until it disappeared.
"I am such an idiot…" said Natsume angrily to himself and punched the wall.
"…I didn't mean to make you cry"
"Not like this… Mikan" whispered Natsume bitterly, closing his eyes.
