"Isn't me or did it get hot in here a while ago?" Mikan said making the whole class sweat-dropped and fall anime tyle.
"How can this girl be so dense." the class thought.

A week later
Flashback
"Mi-chan, I need to talk to you privately. Can we see each other in central town Tomorrow?" Hiro asked.
"Sure! What for?" Mikan asked.
"It's important." Hiro said leaving.
End of Flashback
"Those cookies look delicious Mikan-sama! Why are you wrapping them?" Sia asked licking her mouth.
"I'm giving them away." Mikan replied wrapping the cookies in red pouch tied in a black ribbon with bells.
"To whom?" Blanca asked.
"Natsume. It's the least I could do for saving Sia." she replied reminising what happen the past week.
"Ne, Hime-sama do you like Hyuuga-sama?" Blanca asked.
Drop.
"Eh?!! Wh-What are you talking about Blanca? O-of course I like him. He's my friend." Mikan said picking up the ouch she dropped.
"Sokka... I thought you love him. Maybe its just my imagination." Blanca shrugged.
Mikan's P.O.V.
"Ne, Hime-sama do you like Hyuuga-sama?" Blanca asked.
Drop.
"Eh?!! Wh-What are you talking about Blanca? O-of course I like him. He's my friend." I said picking up the pouch I just dropped.
"Sokka... I thought you love him. Maybe its just my imagination." Blanca shrugged.
Thump
"What's with the heartbeat? I'm not in-love with him. I can't be right? I'm his friend. That's all." I sighed. I didn't know why but it hurt...when I said I'm just his friend..... Gosh I should be thinking about that now. I should go to Central town already! Hiro is probably waiting for me right now. Yeah! But I should give Natsume the cookies first right? It's polite to do that first.
Normal P.O.V.
Knock Knock.
"Coming!" Mikan said untying her apron.
"Hey." a small greeting came from the visitor when she opened the door.
"N-Natsume?!" Mikan said shocked by the crimson eyed lad presence.
"Hey." Natsume greeted again.
"H-Hi. What are you doing here?" Mikan asked.
"Won't you invite me in?" Natsume asked.
"Ah, sure...Of course, come in." Mikan said letting him in.
Natsume's eyes scan the room. It was not as big as his room but it has pretty much the essentials like a small kitchen, a bed, a bathroom, a three-seater sofa, a small table, study desk, and bookshelf which was filled with spell books of all kinds.
"You read these?" Natsume picking a random book and scanning it.
"Pretty much." Mikan said recovering from the shock.
"Why don't you seat down? I'll get some tea." Mikan went to the kitchen.
Flashback
"You should really confess Natsume." Ruka said sitting next to him in the trunk of the Sakura tree.
"To whom?" Natsume asked oblivious.
"Natsume, you choose the wrong time to be an aho. You know whom I'm talking about! Mikan-chan." Ruka said.
"Oh."
"It's really clear that you're in-love with Mikan-chan and I think she loves you too. You should confess already."
"Ruka, I'm not going to-- Wait! Did you just said she love me too?"
"Natsume, I can't believe, you are being so dense now." Ruka said letting out a light chuckle.
"Urusai." (A/N: Shut up- meaning)
"Okay, Okay I get it sorry. But really Natsume you should believe in yourself." Ruka said brushing off the imaginary dust in his pants before standing up.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm meeting Hotaru. She told me to help her with something."
"You mean "commanded" Natsume grunted.
"Well, whatever. Confess!" Ruka said running off.
"Like Hell I will!" Natsume shouted back.
End of Flashback
"Natsume?" Mikan said ending thought of our raven-haired lad.
"Oh sorry." Natsume said.
"So why did you want to see me today?" Mikan said giving him a cup of tea which he obliged to accept.
"Well you see...."
"Hmmm?"
Natsume held her arm and pulled her into a warm hug. His warm breath nuzzled in her neck.
"N-Natsume what's wrong?" Mikan said blushing still in his grasp.
"Listen closely. I'm going to say this only once so you better not make me repeat it." Natsume whispered "I love you.
Silence.
Thump
Thump
Thump
"N-natsume confessed to me. What I'm going to do?!" Mikan thought. Her head spinning and her face flushed, redder than Natsume's deep crimson eyes.
Futari de aruiteru futari de sagashiteru
Demo hitomi ni utsuru no wa yura
Meiteiru kimi no tattachi
Kimi to bokuto no aide ni aru no wa
Yumeta chiga mazairi au noizu no umi
Tawaranai mono kimi no naka ni dake ikizuiteru
"Konichiwa! Gomene, I'm currently unavailable so please leave a message after the beep- BEEP- Mi-chan?! Where the hell are you? I thought we're supposed to meet today in central town at 10:30. It's already 10:50. You're 20 minutes late! Hurry up and come here!" a voice came from Mikan's pink cellphone.
(A/N: Cellphones are allowed in Gakuen Alice but the coverage only reached up inside the premises. If you want to call someone from the outside using your cell. You have to get permission from the headmaster.)
"Sorry about that Natsume." Mikan said sweat-dropping.
"You're dating Sakura?" Natsume's eyes darkened and his grip tighten around Mikan's wrist.
"N-no of course not. Hiro is my childhood friend. Nothing more. Really." Mikan said.
"I have to go." Natsume said letting go of Mikan and headed for the door.
"Wait! Natsume about your confession!"
"It's okay. Just forget about it." Natsume said opening the door.
"Natsume matte." Mikan pleaded but it was too late. He had already left and closedthe door behind him.
__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Meanwhile....
"That Mi-chan completely forgot about me." Hiro said walking around the shops in central town.
"Isn't that Chii-chan?" Hiro wondered at the short pink haired gal who was in the bookshop.
"Chii-chan! Hey." Hiro came closer and greeted the pink haired.
"Ah Shi-sama. Is something wrong?" Chii asked closing the book she was scanning if it's good to read.
"Ah nothing really. Say Chii-chan..."
"Hmm?"
"Have you considered your answer?"
Chii's eyes widened.

Next Day......
Mikan's P.O.V.
"I didn't even get a wink last night. I was so occupied with Natsume's confession that I didn't get any sleep. I yawned and went inside the classroom.
"Ohayou Mikan-chan!" the twins greeted. By twins I meant Anna and Nonoka. Seriously are they sure they're not blood related cause they don't look far apart from each other.
"Ohayou." I greeted back but less cheerful. I lack the energy today.
"What's wrong Mikan-chan? Your eyes are red." Yuu asked in a worried tone.
"Yeah, you look like an owl and not the good kind like Yuu's owl." Koko and Kitsuneme laughed.
"Hahaha very funny." I said with a hint of sarcasm.
"Ohayou Hotaru." I greeted my best friend.
"What's wrong with your eyes baka?" Hotaru asked. Woah for the rare times she's worried about me.
"Awww are you worried about me Hotaru?" I asked trying to hug her but failed miserably.
"Baka! Why would I be worried about an aho like you? I'm only care about myself and money." Hotaru said before returning to her work.
"Then how about Ruka-pyon? He's your boyfriend. Don't you care for him?" I asked.
End of P.O.V.
"Then how about Ruka-pyon? He's your boyfriend. Don't you care for him?" Mikan asked.
Everyone in the classroom stopped at what they were doing and started to listen to the conversation. Everyone was silent waiting for the ice queen's answer. Clearly, you can see the awkwardness of this situation.
"Of course, I care about him baka." Hotaru said softly but loud enough for most to here.
Everyone was still silent, a few murmurs can be heard but nothing less silent.
SLIDE
Everyone's attention was occupied when someone opened the door. It's none other done the culprit for the awkwardness, Ruka Nogi with his best friend Natsume Hyuuga
"Eh is something wrong?" Ruka asked clearly unaware.
The silence began to ease up and some of his fangirls came to his side with handkerchiefs in their hands, shedding tears.
"We decided to let go of you Ruka-sama." Sumire said crying.
Some of the fangirls were biting their handkerchief.
"What?" Ruka asked sweat-drop.
"Congrats Ruka!" Koko grinned at him.
"Congratulations Ruka-kun!" the twins said giggling.
More of his classmates congratulated him leaving him confuse. They crowded him and sending him their congratulations.
"W-wait Natsume where the hell are you going?! Don't leave me crowded with all these people!" Ruka said trying to escape but no luck.
"Sorry Ruka. It's your problem now." Natsume said with his hands on his pockets, smirking.
Natsume's gaze fell from Ruka to Mikan's chocolate brown eyes which was currently staring at him.
"Ohayou Natsume-kun." Mikan greeted with a small smile, avoiding his gaze.
The crimson-eyed lad didn't even greeted back and proceeded to his seat, took out a manga and slept. This went the whole day with Natsume avoiding Mikan whenever they got a chance to talk alone. It made Mikan depressed but still pretended that everything was okay for her friend. It fooled most of them but not Hotaru and Hiro. Well, they know her more than anyone else in the world. Once they were alone in the classroom, Hotaru tied her to her seat with an anti-magic rope.
"What are you guys doing?" Mikan asked.
Hiro banged Mikan's table with his hands and said "Hell, what are you doing with that fake smile of yours?"
"What fake smile? It's all real. See?" Mikan said trying to make the best smile she could manage but failed miserably.
"Did Hyuuga have anything to do with this?" Hotaru asked.
"N-No of course not..." Mikan murmured but loud enough for both of her best friends to hear.
"Hiro leave for while." Hotaru said not looking at Hiro.
"What? I can't do that. I need to find out what's wrong with Mi-chan." Hiro said disagreeing with Hotaru.
"Are you trying to defy me now? Hiro." Hotaru said glaring at Hiro while pointing her BAKA Cannon 3000.
"N-no of course not. Well gotto go Mi-chan! Ja ne." Hiro said running outside.
"Lock." Hotaru said casting a spell on the door.
"Did he confess to you?" Hotaru asked again.
Mikan look down at her desk and nodded.
Hotaru sighed "Well, I knew he would confess someday."
"You knew?"
"Of course. I'm not stupid and dense like you. Ruka and the others knew about it too. Even Permy knows.
"Then why didn't any of you tell me?"
"When it comes to this things, No one is allowed to interfere." Hotaru said giving her best friend a light squeeze.
"I don't know what to do Hotaru. I might hurt him." Mikan said tears slowly dripping from her eyes.
"Do you love him?"
"Of course I do! He's my friend."
"Not that. You should know if you love him because he's your friend or because he's himself."
"Did you have to decide about that when Ruka-pyon confess to you?"
Hotaru smiled and said "Nope."
"Then how did you know that you love him as himself?"
"I don't know but whenever I see him, my heart gets chained up inside and wants to burst out. It's odd but it makes me feel relief whenever he shows me that kind smile when all things go wrong. I do anything to make him happy."
"You're so lucky Hotaru. You already knew the answer from the start. I, maybe too stupid to know the answer."
"But you already know the answer."
"Huh?"
"You just have to look deep inside here." Hotaru said pointing to the part of her body where the heart is present.
Mikan wiped her tears and smiled. "I'm silly and an idiot neh?"
"Yeah you are a baka."
"Thanks Hotaru." Mikan hugging her best friend for the last time before sprinting off to find Natsume.
Hotaru sighed and thought "It's getting dark. I hope she finds him quicker."
Creak.
"I know you're listening Hiro." Hotaru said before sitting down.
"Oops sorry. I guess you caught me." Hiro said his arms in the back of his head.
"She found her answer right?" Hiro asked.
"Hn." Hotaru said.
"Well I better leave you two love birds alone." Hiro smirk before leaving the classroom and locking the door behind him.
"Love birds?" Hotaru thought.
Bang.
"Ouch!" a voice said under a table far from Hotaru's own.
"Who's there?" Hotaru said in threatening tone.
"Sorry." Ruka said ascending from beneath the table.
"Ruka." Hotaru whispered surprise to see him there.
"Hey." Ruka said rubbing the part where he got hit.
"What are you doing here?" Hotaru asked.
"Well you see...."
Flashback
Ruka was walking towards the classroom because he left his math book. They have a math tomorrow and Jin-jin is giving probably giving a pop quiz. He was getting closer to the classroom when he heard Hiro.
"I can't hear a thing behind this stupid door." Hiro said.
"Sakura-san?" Ruka said.
"Ah, yo Nogi! Hey want to spy on your girlfriend?" Hiro asked.
"What?" Ruka said confused.
"I'll let you join in my spell." Hiro said chanting the spell already.
"Ano, wait." Ruka said but it was too late they were already inside the classroom hiding in different tables.
"Did you have to decide about that when Ruka-pyon confess to you?" Ruka heard Mikan asked.
End of Flashback.
"So you were spying the whole time?" Hotaru said glaring at her boyfriend.
"Well...Sorry." Ruka said guilty.
"Well it's okay. At least you won't get jealous anymore whenever I talk to Hiro or any other guy." Hotaru said standing up.
"J-Jealous?" Ruka said blushing.
"Yeah jealous, especially when I talk to Hiro. Relax he's just my childhood friend nothing to worry about."Hotaru said.
"So what if I'm jealous?" Ruka said his face serious.
"You don't have too. I only love you and only you." Hotaru said coming closer to Ruka's face until their faces were only a centimeter apart.
"Hmm... I like this Hotaru a lot." Ruka whispered.
"Really then maybe I should be more like this." Hotaru said.
"I love you." Ruka said giving her a soft and gentle kiss they both love.

Meanwhile...
"Where are you Natsume?" Mikan questioned in her head, panting from all the running.
"Mikan-sama, are you trying to find Hyuuga-san?" Chii asked who was just passing by.
"Yes! Did you see him?" Mikan asked desperate to find him.
"Hai, I think he went to the Sakura tree." Chii said smiling.
"Thank you Chii-chan!" Mikan said dashing off.
"You "think" you saw him?" Hiro said leaving his hiding spot.
"Hmm..Shi-chan I knew spying on Hyuuga-san was great chose seeing that Mikan-sama really wanted to see him." Chii said.
"Yeah, I guess we did what we can. It's all up to them." Hiro said interwining Chii's hands with his own.
"Hai." Chii said.
