My eyes widened and I pushed myself up. I sprawled away from him and touched my lips as I watched him get up and do the same. "You!" I shouted and pointed a finger at him. He smirked and I knew exactly what he was thinking. "That didn't count! That was accidental!" I denied even though he wasn't saying anything. I am not letting my self be convinced that Natsume, of all the guys in the world, is my first kiss! I can not accept that!

I stood up and gathered my things and scurried away from him. Surprising he didn't follow me, but I knew he was smiling his evil smirk as perverted thoughts ran his mind.

I winced at the thought. Why him? Of all the people why him? But why did my heart beat so fast? It was like I was in a race, but I already won first place. Wait. Isn't that a song? I paused and wondered…wait. Why am I wasting my time thinking about a song? I'm late for Pete's sake, even later because that pervert showed up.

"Sorry I'm late!" I said as I burst through the door of my class. The teacher stopped talking and the students all turned their stares at me.

I walked to my seat quietly and tried so hard to listen, but I can't since the kiss keeps on rewinding in my head like an annoying videotape stuck on replay.

"Mikan. You're not touching your food."

I looked up and saw my mom across the table, staring at me with worried eyes. Have I been playing with my food? I don't remember. I was too busy thinking of the kiss.

I let go of the fork and touched my lips one more time and thought about the accidental kiss.

"Mikan! Are you okay!?"

I got startled and stared at my mom. "I'm not hungry." I said as I got up from the table and left the dining room.

As I lay in my bed staring at the ceiling, I wondered. What did he feel when my lips touched his? Did he feel the zing of electricity that rang up to my spine? Did he think it was gross that he actually kissed me? I really want to know…

I rolled to my side and clutched my pillow. I really am in love with him. I didn't notice this until now. I thought it was just plain admiration when we were kids, but now I know its love. He's my first love. The saying first love never dies is true.

I closed my eyes and wondered. Am I his first love too?

As I was thinking things over, someone knocked on my door.

I opened my eyes and gathered my self.

I got off my bed and headed over to the door. When the door opened, he was standing there staring at me with those piercing red eyes. I flushed when I saw the guy that was on my mind a second ago was here in front of me.

He opened his mouth and took a deep breath to speak, but I placed my index finger in his mouth to stop him from uttering the first word.

"If you came here to kill me because of what happened, do it tomorrow. I'm not in the mood to argue with you." I let go of his mouth and turned my back at him.

He grabbed my arm and yanked me back to him. I hit his chest with a loud thud and he tightened his grip on my arm. "You just never listen don't you?" He said then crashed his lips on mine.

It was so sudden, and I was so surprised that I never even had the time to close my eyes, even when he broke the kiss.

I just stared at him with wide eyes as he let my arm go. "I love you." He said. "Ever since we were kids. That's why I never had a girlfriend when we left Hokkaido. I only wanted you to be my girlfriend, that's why I left a promise."

Nobody could explain of what I'm feeling right now. It was happiness, anxiety and wonder all mixed together. "Natsume…" I muttered then clasped my hands over my mouth. "Natsume. Natsume." I shook my head a few times as I said his name over and over again.

I jumped and hugged him and muttered, "I love you too."

There was a sting behind my eyelids and I felt warmth stroll down my face. That was then I realized that I was crying. Crying because of happiness.

Natsume hugged me back and knew that he finally has his claim on me. "Can I stay for the night?" he muttered in my ears. My face shattered and I pushed myself away from him. Way to ruin the moment idiot!

"No!"

"But it's late!"

"No!"

"I'll ask your mom."

"Go ahead." I dared.

He left my room and headed downstairs. To the kitchen probably, were my mom was.

I rolled my eyes as I watched him turn left at the hallway. I can't believe his mine.

***

"Mikan! I can't believe you went to sleep after last night! You didn't even tell me that you and Natsume-kun are finally dating!"

How does my mom know that Natsume and I just hooked up? That Natsume. He probably told her last night.

Great the first thing I encounter when I come in the kitchen is this.

"Oi Polka, get dressed. We're going out today." I turned around and saw Natsume, gorgeous as ever, descending down the stairs. He really did stay here for the night.

"Where exactly are we going?" I asked in a matter-of-fact tone.

"First Date." He replied nonchalantly.

"What! .! Stop right there Natsume!" I pulled him and he came to a halt.

'What!?" He asked impatiently.

"Don't go and over do things!" I shouted.

"A date and letting everyone know you're mine isn't overdoing things!"

"Yes it is!"

"No it doesn't!"

"First day in our relationship and we're already fighting!"

"What do you want woman!?" He finally demanded. I calmed myself down and rubbed my temples.

"Let's not let everyone know we're dating okay?"

"How will the boys know you're mine then?" He cocked his eyebrow and glared at me.

"Natsume, who told you I was gonna entertain them? Just don't tell anyone except Ruka and Hotaru."

"Tch. Whatever." He let go of my arm and started walking away. I stared at hi back for a moment, and then sighed. I really want everyone to know that Natsume and I are dating, but what would the fan girls do to me?

I shivered at the thought.
