"This is crazy! The party was on Saturday!! And today's Monday! How can the news spread so fast!!" she whispered to Natsume

"And so this is why he insisted on going to school together" Mikan thought

"You're the one who's crazy. Don't you know that gossips travels from one girl's mouth to another so fast?" Natsume whispered back

"Maybe. But mine is definitely not THIS fast" Mikan answered, making Natsume chuckled

By Monday, everybody knew about their 'relationship'. As Mikan said it, The news travels fast. Every female in the school erupted with jealousy (even the ones with boyfriends). They were all wondering how, oh HOW could Mikan ended up with Natsume, since Mikan (in their opinion) is not beautiful, so therefore, they have concluded that Mikan must have used some 'powers' from monks or priests to get Natsume to fall in love with her…

"Ask monks to cast a spell so Natsume fell in LOVE with me? Am I really THAT ugly?" Mikan thought as she heard the news from Hotaru. They were both sitting in Hotaru's class, along with Natsume and Ruka, who's on the other end of the class.

"If I do used monks, than why on Natsume?" Mikan's vein felt like popping because of anger.

Ever since Sumire's birthday, Mikan and Natsume became inspirable. If Natsume is on basketball practice (In my fic he's on the school team, along with Ruka), Mikan waited for him on the benches. If Mikan is busy on the student body/ student council, Natsume came and help, or sometimes waited in front of the room. This made Sumire and her friends really pissed off, since they couldn't get their hands on Mikan for revenge.

But, evil do come to their chances. Suddenly, the student body needed to have a meeting, and Mikan, as the secretary, has to come too. The meeting was on the same time as the basketball practice, so that means Natsume can't watch over Mikan, and Mikan can't wait for Natsume. Which means Sumire and her friends has a chance to 'kill' Mikan. And from the moment Mikan saw Sumire's best friend in the meeting room, while she's not in the student body she knew something will happened …

As soon as the meeting finished, Sumire's best friend approached her

"We wanted to talk to you, Mikan" she said

"Who's we?" Mikan replied, even though she knew already. It is so obvious.

"Don't act like you're stupid!" shouted Sumire's best friend, as she forced Mikan outside. Sumire and the other girls were waiting in there

"DON'T THINK THAT YOU CAN GET AWAY! AND YOU HAVE TO TELL THE TRUTH TO US!" Sumire shouted, as soon as Mikan come out, and with secure security, Mikan was taken to Sumire's best friend's house.

Sumire's best friend's house is not very far away from the school, and on times like these (It was around 2 o'clock) the house is empty, since she was an only child and both of her parents work. That's why Mikan was taken there…

"SIT" Sumire ordered as soon as they were inside

Annoyed, but since she was so tired, Mikan sat down

"Now, tell us the TRUTH. Don't even think about lying" Sumire ordered again

"Why should I lie to you?" Mikan replied flatly

"Good. Now SPILL" she replied

"Why should I tell you anyway? You don't have the right to ordered me around!" Mikan snapped

"Bitch! You know I love Natsume!" Sumire shouted

"SO? What's the connection with me?" Mikan snapped again

It's like Sumire's vein just popped out!

"Listen here! I have spend millions on that party two days ago! Do you think those foods were cheap? Do you think that the decorations are fake? Not to mention my dress!" she shouted again

"So you want me to pay you back?" Mikan replied, still annoyed. Then Sumire laughed.

"HA! Please, like you even had the money? That dress you wore to my party, I used it for sleeping. I wouldn't want to be seen in public wearing that kind of dress. Let alone to a party!"

Mikan bit her lip. Sumire's answer hurt her feelings. A lot!

"And we know that you and Natsume are not really a couple!" Rhietta (I made up the name) butt in

"What do you mean?" Ask mikan, turning her attention to her

"There must have been something behind it"

"Hahahaha!" Mikan laughed to hide her shockness "There's nothing behind it!"

"Of course there is! A boy like Natsume won't fall in love with a girl like YOU" Rhietta replied

"Please, did you see how tall and big Natsume is? If I forced him to be my boyfriend, he could kill me to death!" She laughed.

Rhietta became silent. So… so it's true! Mikan did use a monk! Or a priest!

"LISTEN HERE!" Mikan shouted, since she's so annoyed "IF I DID USED PRIEST OR MONKS, I WOULDN'T USED IT ON NATSUME. I WOULD HAVE USED IT ON BRAD PITT, STEAL HIM AWAY FROM ANGELINA JOLIE OR ON BRANDON ROUTH!"

……… "Did Natsume told you why he's in love with you?" Sumire's best friend suddenly asks

"Of course!" Mikan replied confidently. While truthfully, even she knows that it is not true

"YOU MUST BE LYING!" Sumire pushed and slapped Mikan. Hard, making Mikan crashed to the wall behind her…

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, Natsume could not concentrate in his basketball practice. None of his shoots went through the hoop, and he couldn't concentrate on passing the ball. After practice was over, he changed his clothes and run towards the meeting room of the student body, but Mikan is now where in sight! Natsume searched the whole school. But he still couldn't find Mikan, finally, the guard in the school gate said that he saw Mikan being pulled towards Sumire's best friend's house. Natsume ran there, and barged in, just in time to see Mikan being pushed and crashed towards the wall. He ran and pulled Mikan up, Holding her by the shoulder, and with one cold glare towards the girls, took her outside…

"Hey. You okay?" He asks

Mikan was silent. She was hurt. How dare they pushed her and slapped her like that! She had been blamed using monks and priests to be Natsume's girlfriend! All of them did not know the truth!!!!!!

"I'm sorry" Natsume tighten the grip on her shoulders…

-----------------------------------------------------------------

Natsume now doubled his forces (HA I sounded like he's planning a war or something), he never leaves Mikan's side, and accompany her to everywhere she goes. They ate lunch at the canteen together. Study together. Get to school and goes home from school together. And Mikan, who took her time to create 'stories' of how they became a 'couple' , now tried to finished it as fast as she can. And after five hours laying on her bed, 2 bags of chips, one package of oreo, and two glass of milk she finished some parts of the story, it only needs a little more detail that she should discussed with Natsume. So they both agree to meet on Saturday to finished the story. As planned, Natsume picked Mikan up at 11:30 sharp, since they are going to discussed it while eating lunch. He is wearing a dark blue t-shirt and jeans, while Mikan a yellow summer-dress.

"She looks cute" Natsume thought, as Mikan got inside the car

"So where are we going?" She asks

"You'll see" As he drove off

They went into this indoor-outdoor restaurant. It was Victorian-like, with seats in the garden and a fish-pond, and a little fountain. It was very romantic, with music playing.

"Ugh. Why does the song has to be everlasting love????" Mikan thought as they sat down

"The chicken in here is very delicious" Natsume tells her

"What? Oh… really? Okay" She stammers

"You don't have to be so nervous" Natsume chuckled, seeing the expression on her face.

"Is it THAT readable??????????" Mikan blushed

After the food came, and yes, Natsume is right, the chicken in that restaurant is very yummy, but Mikan is waaay to nervous to notice…

"So let's start" Natsume finally said

"Uh, okay… Uhm, Natsume… if you're ask… that uhm which one of us, uh" Mikan stammered again

"Confessed their love first?" Natsume finished her sentence

"Uhm, yeah" Mikan blushed

"Well, of course it'll be me" Natsume answered

"Oh, yeah! Of course!" Mikan replied, as she breathe in relieved "I thought he said I should confessed first… thank god!" She thought

"Here's what, tell them since I fell in love with you at first sight, I picked to be seat mates with you… ok?" Natsume asks

"Yeah, okay. And uh… We became a couple, around the afternoon on Friday, okay? Like the day before Sumire's birthday. Is that okay with you?" Mikan explained

"Sure" Natsume answered as he busily ate the chicken

"And uhm… when I was taken to Sumire's best friend's house… they asked me, how did you confessed to me?" Mikan blushed again

Natsume stopped eating. He thought about it for a moment…

"Hmmm. How about this, do you like watching sunsets?" he asks

"Yeah, but I haven't seen good ones in Tokyo" She answered

"That's not the point. I like hunting sunsets. The best one I got was at Nagoya last year" Natsume explained

"Okaaaaaay, so then?"

"So, tell them that I gave you a photo of that sunset. On Monday I'll give it to you so if they ask you can show them"

"It's a little…weird" Mikan finally stated

"So what do you want? Chocolates, flowers, all those things aren't unique! What did your old boy friends gave you?" He smirked

"Wha-what? NONE OF YOUR BEESWAX!" she snapped, as Natsume laughed

"Okay, so it's a picture of a sunset. But what if they asked the reason for you to give me that picture?" Mikan asked again

"Tell them that I will take you to that sunset when we got married! Hahahaha! That'll satisfied them" Natsume answered as he laughed

And that made Mikan's heart skipped so fast, and in the end,when they went home, Natsume is full since he ate four pieces of chicken and two plates of rice, while Mikan is full since her stomach is already tighten up in knots because of the nervous-ness.

"I think I need to go to the hospital, I'm going to ask for a new heart. Sooner or later my heart would die, since it's been beating more than it's capacity!" Mikan thought
