Word Meanings
Word no.4: Promise: Assure someone that one will definitely do.
"Thanks for the ice cream Natsume-kun!"
Natsume rolled his eyes for the hundredth time. "Don't flatter yourself. You owe me money." He hissed. Natsume was exhausted. He had spent the whole day with a blabbering idiot. Was it fun, you ask. OF COURSE IT WASN'T FUN.
"Be more of a gentleman, like..."
Natsume looked at her. "Like who?"
"Like Ruka-pyon!" Mikan said with sparkles in her eyes.
"Oh, you mean the gentleman that forced you to kiss him." He said with a smirk. Mikan turned beat red. "He's my boyfiend! He has every right to kiss me!" She retorted back. "What kind of boy would want a geeky girl, such as yourself, as a girlfriend?"
Mikan felt a slight pang in her heart.
Mikan got up from her seat. "You're a jerk, you know that?"
"Yeah, I get that a lot." He stood up as well.
He walked towards Mikan and looked her in the eye. Mikan felt herself blush. "Don't be so sensitive, baka." She stared blankly back at him. She never knew that the Natsume Hyuuga could be so...gentle.
"WAIT A MINUTE! WAIT A MINUTE!" Mikan shouted, waving her arms around.
"What?"
Mikan crossed her arms and pouted. "Why the hell do you keep calling me 'baka' when you're the one being tutored?!"
Natsume placed his hand on her head and smirked. "You're a dense idiot, that's why." Mikan fumed. "I HATE YOU HYUUGA!!"
"I'm going to look for a place to sit. Being with an idiot like you is stressful." Natsume said, walking away.
Mikan angrily followed.
Mikan's POV
HMPH. Stress?! He wouldn't know the meaning of it! HE'S the one making me stressed! Oh that conceited arse!
I would kill him, but then, my grades would be affected.
DARN.
Hmm... Wait... I'll kill Naru instead! That gay teacher of mine will pay!
End of POV
"Hyuuga!"
Mikan shouted as she stomped over to the bench Natsume was sitting on.
"Your glasses are fake." He suddenly said. Mikan blushed furiously. "What are you talking about!?" Natsume smirked. "Give 'em to me." Mikan's eyes widened. "No!" Natsume smirk grew wider. "Why not?"
Pause. "Think of something Mikan! You got caught!!"
"You might rape them!" Ok. not the best answer, but it'll do.
Natsume gave her "The look". Mikan sighed in defeat. "Fine. They're not graded. Please don't tell anyone." She said with pleading eyes. "Why do you wear them when you don't have to?" Mikan sighed. "It keeps me unnoticed. And I like it that way." Natsume looked at her for a while.
"You're weird." He finally said.
"As if you're not."
Natsume smiled a little but then quickly hid it. "I'm not weird. I'm just misunderstood." Mikan looked at him with a raised eyebrow."You're very strange."
Mikan sat down beside him and looked down at her feet.
"Natsume-kun, you're so lucky."
Natsume eye's widened. "Why?"
"You're a natural genius. You don't need to exert extra effort in what you do. You were born smart." Mikan clasped her hands together. "I wish..." She continued. "I wish I was like you. The only reason I have straight A's is because I study everyday. It's almost the only thing I ever do. I really wish I was born a genius like you, Natsume."
Mikan stopped for air, than continued.
"A slow stupid person such as myself, needs to exert extra extra effort. It's hard for me to catch up to other people's level, but I do my very best."
Mikan looked happily at Natsume.
"Promise me you won't waste your being genius. So many people would love to be like you."
Natsume simply kept quiet and looked away.
Silence fell between the two.
And a lovely silence it was.
"You're one of a kind, Sakura."
Author's Note: I'm so freakin' pissed. I couldn't think of ANYTHING for this chapter so sorry if it seems short, boring and random. I promise the next one is when the real hearts start to spin. Trust me ;) Thanks for the nice reviews from the past chapters. :)
