The Dare

Chapter 7:

The Last Day In The Academy (SO NOT THE LAST CHAPTER)

Everyone whistled as they saw Mikan slap Natsume, but although a teardrop fell from Natsume's eyes, no one saw it, the crowd started to get small and after some minutes, the only ones left were Sumire, the gang and Natsume.

"Whoa Natsume! That was solid!" Shouted a member of Natsume's gang while patting Natsume on the back, he doesn't know that Natsume was already crying a little… not until he sobbed.

Everyone stared at him, this wasn't something that would happen everyday, even the fangirls got surprised about this, "Natsume-kun? Why are you crying?" Asked Sumire, approaching him.

Natsume gritted his teeth and clenched his fist, he punched Sumire as soon as she got closer to him, "You- YOU SLUT!"

Sumire's butt landed flat on the floor, her eyes twitched, "Na- Natsume! Don't hurt me please! I beg you don't!"

Ruka went infront of Natsume, "She's a girl Natsume, she's a girl… don't punch her…"

"I don't care if she's a boy or a girl.. she's a bitch, she's a slut, she's nothing to me…" Still grinding his teeth.

The gang pushed Natsume back to his room with all their might, and thankfully, they succeeded.

Natsume fell to his bed, covering his face and pulling his hair, "I'm so stupid…. I'm useless.. I'm a bastard…"

The gang's eyes got wide, "Na- Natsume.. don't say that, you're not useless, you're no stupid.. and definitely you're not a bastard… what are you saying? Why are you saying these things? We must rejoice, you must rejoice but- but why are you acting like this?"

Natsume just shook his head and gestured them to leave the room, "Please… leave me alone … I need some time alone for now… please.." He said, still pointing on his big door.

The gang had no choice, they followed his instruction, the only one left was Ruka but same like others, Natsume asked him to leave him first.

Natsume wiped his tears with his shirt, "Why am I so hurt when she said those words..?"

Flashback

"OUCH!" Natsume shouted.

Mikan slapped him, "How dare you! HOW DARE YOU! Did you have fun Natsume huh? Was it fun? Well maybe for you it was, afterall, it was all a dare! Oh how I wish you had! You must be very satisfied by now because if not, curse you, don't repeat this again Natsume! Not just to me! To all of the girls!"

"Mikan, I'm-"

"No Natsume, don't say you're sorry, why? Did you feel sorry for me when you were playing with me for the past few days huh? Did you huh!"

"It was a –"

"Yes,I know it was a dare! I know it is but still! Why did you accept it if you know that you'll hurt someone huh? Why? Well yes, I may be easy to be played with, I may be an idiot, I may be a stupid girl that thinks like a 5 year old child but still, at least I'm innocent! At least I have a heart which you and your gang doesn't have! I know how to be hurt, I know how it feels! But you? Have you ever felt that feeling huh?"

She slapped him again..

And with that she run away, her hands covering her whole face.

End of Flashback

"My heart, it stopped when she said those, it seemed like my whole world just stopped spinning and everything turned dark, it was the most painfiul thing everyone has said to me… " Natsume whispered to himself, still sobbing and sniffing.

He stood up and punched the mirror, it broke into pieces, a single piece landed beneath his right foot, he stared at it, he saw his face, it was stained with tears, and that's when he realized..

"Am- am I falling inlove with her…?" He asked himself.

In Mikan's room..

Mikan hugged her knees and sank her head deep in the middle of her thighs, Why..? Why did I have to fall for his joke? Why must I be so stupid to believe in him…? Wh-

"Because you love him so much.." a voice said from the door.

Mikan raised her head and gasped when she saw Hotaru, "Hotaru-chan..?

"Invention 324, mind reading machine" She said while tapping the machine she was holding.

Mikan giggled a little but her face immediately turned into a frown again, she continued crying again.

Hotaru sighed and sat beside her, "You know, its the last day of school tomorrow…."

"So what?" Asked Mikan, sadness can be noticed from her voice.

"So… it's the last day you'll see Natsume… aren't you sad..? Aren't you worried..? Don't you want him to apologize to you?"

Mikan shook her head, "He's a jerk… he just played with me… he's nothing but a useless pervert… how can he play with me with just that? Just because of a dare? He's so low…"

Hotaru looked at Mikan, she understood how Mikan feels, but also, she can understand Natsume, "Mikan-chan.. don't you think there's a reason why he did that? And also… this didn't happen because the Lord want to ruin your life… this is happening for a reason.. everything happens for a reason Mikan-chan, we may don't know what it is but.. "

"But we must try to understand it and accept it..?" Mikan smiled a little.

Hotaru just nodded and rubbed her eyes, this made Mikan look at her, she saw Hotaru having red eyes, "Hotaru-chan? You're crying?"

Hotaru sniffed and shook her head, "N- no!"

Mikan laughed, "Oh come on, it's obvious, why?"

Hotaru stood up and walked away, "Nevermind idiot… non of you're business.."

Even though she's stupid… even though she's an idiot… she has the biggest heart of all girls that I met… that's why she's precious… and if I'll think deep, by now, I think Natsume is being guilty and slowly, he's falling inlove with her already… Thought Hotaru.

That morning…

Everyone wore their graduation uniform, today was the last day of school, after this day, everyone in the last year will live normal lives already. Some were deciding to work in other countries while some were left undecided, two of them are our heroes, Mikan and Natsume.

After the graduation program, some girls started to cry already, Nonoko, a friend and classmate of Mikan, hugged her best friend Ana and promised her that they'll see each other again someday.

The fangirls of Natsume and Ruka cried hardly while embracing each other, telling each other how much fun they had being together.

Mikan and Hotaru decided to live together in Tokyo, but still, they don't know what job to take.

Ruka and Natsume also decided to live together, they'll also be living in Tokyo, not knowing that Mikan and Hotaru'll be living.

Mikan was walking around the academy when she bumped someone, "Ou- ouch…" She whispered while opening her eyes.

"So- Mi- Mikan.." Said a voice.

Mikan's eyes widened, she knew that voice, it belonged to her true love, Natsume Hyuuga, she looked up and gulped when she saw him.

"I'm really- "

Mikan turned around, though it was hard for her to say this, she must, because for her, it's the right thing to do… "Na- Natsume-kun, I had fun having you as my classmate, having you as my friend and having you as- as my .. my- my- fake boyfriend… but even though you hurt me so much…. I'll still treat you as my friend, no matter what you'll do, nothing can change that. But it's time for us to separate ways already, forget about the past and start living the present without remembering each other… it's been nice knowing you Natsume Hyuuga, sa- sayonara.. " and there, she started walking away.

Natsume couldn't believe his eyes, why now? Now that he realized he loves her, now is the time that they'll be separating, not only separating, they're separating with Mikan's heart holding anger. He quickly grabbed her arm but she pulled it back, "Natsume-kun, SAYONARA" She ran away.

He felt his knees get weak, he broke down, his vision started to get blurry again, tears started forming in his eyelids, several drops of liquid fell to the ground, it was indeed his tears…
