The days have past. Mikan excelled in their class and became number 1… actually, there is a tie. A tie between Natsume and Mikan for the first place .Unfortunately, no one among them wants to give up the throne.
While having their class, Mikan and Natsume were bickering at each other when Narumi suddenly remembered "Oh! I nearly forgot! Natsume and Mikan, you are badly needed by the principal. Please go there immediately. I think he has some good news… oh it depends on how you see it. By the way, you go there now."
"As expected of the idiot." Natsume commented.
Mikan and Natsume stood up. They went to the principal's office. Mikan's face was so anxious while Natsume 's was blank. The door creaked open and the jovial face of the principal welcomed them.
"Good morning Uncle" Mikan greeted him while Natsume just nodded.
"What do you want?" Natsume asked.
The smile of the principal's face did not falter. Instead, he widened his smile more and a twinkle was visible on his eyes.
"You are going to Hong Kong to represent our school!"
"WHAT?" Mikan said…I mean shouted while Natsume looks so composed though his eyes show nothing but excitement.
"Do you need me to repeat it for you? I said you two would be going to Hong Kong to represent our school in a seminar about Science and Math. Since you two are the best students in our school, I decided that you two should go. I am great right?" her uncle answered.
" He is an idiot too…like Polka." Natsume thought. "Well it is fine by me...I really want a vacation from this school." Natsume said.
" Do I have a say on this?" Mikan asked.
"Unfortunately, no…You really need to represent our school. It is a really prestigious seminar. So we should have a representative. It is such a waste if no one will come. You know opportunity comes only once so we better grab it. By the way, your departure will be in 5 days so you better prepare your things now. It is good to be finished early." The principal replied.
Mikan was so disappointed. She was looking at the ground as if it was the most beautiful thing on earth while Natsume is just standing there with an emotionless façade.
" You can go back to you classes now. Oh well I doubt that Narumi will be in your class room today so you can go wherever you want. I will excuse you for the afternoon so you have time to prepare your things."
Natsume and Mikan left the room. Natsume saw Mikan's gloomy face so he decided to break the ice
" Yo baka… want to go somewhere since we will not attend classes?" He asked.
" No thanks." She replied sadly.
"Oh..Okay..well if someone looks for me, tell them I am at the amusement park eating delicious ice creams and sweet howalons okay?"
"uhmm.." Mikan hesitated… "Can I go to?"
He inwardly smiled. "No."
"Why?"
"Because I don't want to. "
" Please" she said.
"No" Natsume me was trying hard to resist.
While Mikan can already sense that she will win and can go with Natsume.
"Please Natsume…" she said with puppy eyes. She can already sense some victory.
" Okay… fine." Natsume gave in while Mikan put a triumphant smile on her face.
They walked through the silent hallway and proceeded to Natsume's car. They rode his car. The ride was silent because Mikan fell asleep. Her sleeping face was facing Natsume. Natsume was about to wake her up but before he could do it… he was so enthralled by her face…
"She looks so pretty..no beauty—hey Natsume..you are not falling for her..instead, make he fall for you..arggh… why am I talking to my self…"
"Hey Polka..Wake up!" Natsume shook her.
"5 more minutes mom…"
Natsume smirked.
"If you will not wake up now I will kiss you"
Mikan suddenly realized that she was not sleeping in her comfortable bed. Rather, she was with the pervert, Natsume. Her eyes suddenly fluttered open.
"Hey! Don't stare at my face!" Mikan shouted..
"Lets go!"
"Where?" Mikan asked.
"Where do you think? We are going to eat first… I heard your stomach growl a while ago while we were sleeping. "
Mikan suddenly blushed at the statement. The went outside the car and proceeded to an restaurant.
The waiter greeted them and ushered them to their table.
"Here is the menu Sir/Ma'am. I will be going back afterwards to get your order."
"Oh Okay thank you" Mikan replied.
The waiter returned and took their orders.
"One spaghetti alla carbonara, two Funghi Porcini in Umido, one Carciofi in tegame aaannnddd…Sbriciolona"
The waiter sweat-dropped.
"Are you really human? Or your just a pig disguised in that small body?" Natsume asked, shocked.
"What? I am hungry!" Mikan muttered.
"Whatever…my order would be one Milanesa a la napolitana and one red wine" Natsume said to the waiter.
" Is that all Sir?"
"Unless you want this pig(pointing to mikan) to order all of your food here, you better go." He said dramatically to the waiter.
The waiter went off immediately after hearing that.
"Mou Natsume, I am not a glutton."
"After ordering that much you call yourself not a glutton? …what ever…there is no point discussing that matter with that brain of yours."
"Excuse me… we are just at the same level at school so do not talk as if you are smarter than me. "
They bicker at each other. They quarreled about so many things until the food came. Mikan ate like a person who did not eat for how many days while Natsume, ate with manners.
"Correct me if I am wrong but were you the one I saw in the cafeteria a while ago or it was just your clone. Because seriously, you eat as if you had not eaten for days!" Natsume exclaimed. Fascinating
"It is how I eat okay? Well, do you still want to eat your food? If not—"
"If not what? You will get it? Where do your food go? Are you not full yet?" Natsume continued.
Mikan just shook her head sheepishly.
They finished eating the food and they talked about random things while they ate a while ago. They really enjoyed each others company.
"Where is the next stop?" Mikan asked.
"To the amusment park. Where else?" Natsume answered.
