The Dare

Chapter 2: Whata-?

The afternoon passed by and it was already 6 in the evening, Mikan Sakura just stayed under a tree while combing her hair and eating some of her favourite candies, unknown to her, there was somebody who was watching her from behind a certain tree, a Sakura tree.

I don't think it'll be that hard, I mean, its just that Sakura girl, she's stupid, an idiot, what else could be more fun than playing with her? Thought a raven-haired teenage boy who was the one behind the Sakura tree.

An hour passed and Natsume still hadn't moved an inch, the moon was slowly appearing and also, Mikan was still there, she was daydreaming… But then, her eyes widened as she saw a shadow from behind her, that shadow… it was familiar, it belonged to her… crush. She turned around and she was right, she blushed but Natsume didn't notice because it was already dark, "Natsume-kun?"

"Konbanwa Mikan.." Was all that Natsume said, he gulped, This is the most stupid dare I ever taken, but still, If I don't do this, everyone will think I'm a coward, an idiot, and … they'll kick me out of the troop… so I have no choice, be brave Natsume… WAIT! I'M BRAVE!

Mikan shook her hand infront of Natsume's face, "Natsume-kun? Daijoubu?"

Natsume looked at Mikan and shook his head hard, "Daijoubu dayo, gomen!"

Mikan giggled like a 2 year old girl, she already forgot that she was Natsume that time, her crush.

Natsume sat down and also asked her to do the same, of course, Mikan followed what he wanted her to do, he was her crush for your info right?

Natsume bit his lower lip and he stared at the moon, he didn't know what to say, he just sat there, busy thinking what he'll say to ask her out.

"Why are you here Natsume-kun? What do you need from me? Why aren't you with your gang?" Asked Mikan, her face 3 inches away from him.

Natsume looked at her and his mind screamed in fright when he noticed their faces 3 inches away, but then, he remembered the dare, he backed away a few inches and smiled, "Sakura, can… can.." Fuck, this is hard.

"Can I what?"

"Canyougooutwithme?" Asked Natsume in a very fast way, it was almost as fast as the wind which passed by just now.

"Sorry I didn't quit get that, pardon?" Asked Mikan cutely while blinking her eyes.

Oh god she's cute when doing that… SNAP OUT OF IT! CUTE? HER! IN HER DREAMS! "Go- gomenasai… I said, can-you-go-out-w- w- with-… uh- with… uhmm.."

Mikan now was getting impatient, she sighed heavily and asked in a child-like tone, "what?"

I'll be kicking your butt now if it wasn't for the stupid dare, uh! You're so impatient! "Me?"

"What do you mean? A while ago you were asking me if I can go out with somebody unknown and now you're asking 'me?' you're so unpredictable and confusing? What do you mean?"

Darn you idiot, you're soo.. stupid! Just like this dare…! "What I meant was.. can you go out with me?"

Mikan's heart leapt in joy, but then, it sank, she thought for a while, Natsume asking me out? This is ridiculous… what does he mean? Maybe you just heard wrong Mikan… I mean-

"Mikan?"

Mikan looked at Natsume and she got back to her senses, "What were you saying again?"

Natsume's jaw dropped, DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO SAY THOSE THINGS? UH! YOU'RE SOOO ANNOYING! He sighed and repeated, "Will you go out with me Mikan Sakura?"

Mkan's eyes burst wide, without even noticing she just shouted, "HAI!"

Natsume sweat-dropped, he always knew that Mikan has a crush on him, but never thought that she was that obsessed! Sigh "Thanks.."

Mikan blushed, this time, Natsume noticed already since he was looking forward on seeing Mikan's reaction, "Glad you accepted my offer.."
