Chapter 6: Starry Night
The canteen sounds so lively unlike other days, as students are all excited about tomorrow's Hanabi Festival.
"Argh! I am going, Ruka" said an annoyed Natsume
"Where are you going Natsume?"
"To get some fresh air. It's too hot and stuffy here." Grumbled Natsume.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
-At the North Forest-
"Let go of me!!" (Flashback)
"Mikan…" thought Natsume now lying under the tree in the North forest.
"Ah, found you" said Ruka walking toward the tree and sat before Natsume.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Just then someone started to speak through the school radio system
"Konbawa! I am Narumi sensei who is in-charge of today's radio dedications (Heart).Before I continue, I hope Natsume-kun will listening to it too… if not it will be kind of anyone to inform him what I had said ne! I had chosen you to take part in tomorrow's singing contest so… all the best to you! (Heart) OK, now let's go on with our dedications. These songs will be played and the last song will be "Wishes" Enjoy! (Heart) "
-While the songs are playing-
"Nee, Narumi-sensei why didn't you tell Natsume this when you are in the classroom in the morning?" asked the club members currently in the room.
"Because I don't want to die so early, you know. I still have a lot of things I want to do in my life" replied Narumi.
"???"
Just then a loud explosion can be heard from the north forest and triggered the school fire alarm.
"Iya… see this is what I mean. (Heart)"
Everyone sweatdrop.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Damn that Narumi!" shouted Natsume angrily after releasing his alice in the forest.
"Calm down, Natsume" said a panic Ruka who is still hiding behind the burnt tree, "still, he has become pretty clever to announce it through the school system instead of telling you face to face..."
"Argh, I'm not in the mood to care about it…" Natsume groaned before moving to another tree that is not burned and sat down.
"Natsume…" said Ruka looking worried at his best friend before followed him and sat beside him.
Neither of them says anything, just sat there quietly listening to the songs played by the Radio Club while looking at the evening sky…
I looked in the sky and there I saw a star shining so bright above
I closed my eyes and wished upon the star that I would fine true love
Someone who needed me
Someone to share my life
For a love that would be true
I would wait forever
So...no...matter how long it may be
I will be waiting
One star-brighter than the others
Two Hearts-beating for each other
I believe wishes really come true
Love at first sight I knew it from the moment when you said hello
I hoped you felt it too, but we both so shy-how was I to know
when you reached for my hand
I knew you were the one
You just have to dream
Nothing's as bad as it seems
to be...believe me
Someone's waiting for you to try
There in the sky
One star-brighter than the others
Two Hearts-beating for each other
You will see wishes really come true
You can't stop believing-wishes do come true
You gotta believe me (wish on a star) wishes do come true...
The song ended and silent is back again between the two guys.
"Hey Natsume, do you believe that wishes will come true?" asked Ruka looking at the sky.
"hum… I don't know"
"Want to give it a try? Wish upon a star" smiled Ruka.
"That is girl's stuff, Ruka…" Natsume replied in a dull voice
"Ah, you don't to try it! I dare you Scary-cat."
'Fine! I will do it and YOU'LL do it as well." Natsume snapped.
"Ha-Ha, no problem as long as YOU dares to do it" giggled Ruka before adding on "so what are you going to wish for?"
"…Secret."
"Come on tell me, Natsume. If you tell me yours, I will tell you mine"
"Hell no, let's goes back now" Natsume replied
Ruka laughed before following Natsume back to the dormitory.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Knock knock
"Hotaru, can I come in?" asked Mikan
Door opened
Mikan entered and saw Hotaru using her computer to work on her new invention so she decided to sit quietly on Hotaru's bed and went deep into her thoughts. As Mikan return back to reality, she found herself flying and the next thing she knows, she slammed onto the wall.
"OUCH!"
"Finally your soul is back into your body…" said Hotaru while she cleans her Baka gun.
"Hotaru-! Can't you just call me like normal people does" cried Mikan rubbing her face.
"I tried… I had been calling you for the past 10 minutes and you sat there like a statue" replied Hotaru looking annoyed and added on "what's bothering you spacing out like this."
Mikan paused for a while before telling Hotaru everything that is bothering her.
Mikan ended her talk and asked Hotaru "What should I do?"
"So you are unsure of his confession whether if it is true or not" said Hotaru packing up her tools in her room.
"Yes…" replied Mikan who started to mess up Hotaru's bed by rolling on it back and forth
"Stop it if you still value your life". Hotaru pointed her new model of baka gun at Mikan dangerously.
"Don't- Don't do it, Hotaru!" whimpered Mikan, tidying up the bed quicky before deciding that she should sit on the floor instead.
"Back to topic" said Hotaru and added on "You want to know if he really like you, doesn't you?"
"Yea…"
"Easy, just confess to him. You will know his answer" stated Hotaru plainly.
"WHAT!?" shouted Mikan who was horrified.
"This is the fastest way, you know"
"But…"
"Mikan… it's not like you to be so hesitating"
"…"
"Well, you decide for yourself. It's getting late already. You can stay here for tonight but not on my bed" said Hotaru as she lay down onto her bed.
"Ok…" Mikan said as she went back to her own thoughts.
"Hotaru is right. It is the fastest way to know instead of just sitting here and dwell on it. Maybe tomorrow is a good time to tell him…"
"I may get rejected but… it doesn't matter anymore. I just want to tell him how I feel for him."
And for that, Mikan finally makes up her mind to tell Natsume.
"Guess it's time to sleep, Hotaru said that I can sleep here tonight…but not on her bed" smiled Mikan standing up before stopped smiling.
"Wait a minute, then where am I going to sleep? Hotaru?" asked Mikan who turned around to look at Hotaru, who had already fell asleep.
"OH NO!!!!!!!!!" thought Mikan.
"I guess… I have to sleep on the carpet" cried Mikan to herself.
"I wonder if I can get a good sleep" said Mikan as she lay down on the carpet.
And… in the dark, Hotaru rolled over to face the wall and smirked.
