CHAPTER 3: LONELY EYES
Mikan's P.O.V.
Whenever I look into Natsume's eyes I can always see the loneliness in them. They always look lonely like he doesn't want people to get close to him. And he acts like a bad person, but I think deep down, he just wants the attention.
He told me on MSN that he had two older brothers, and older sister and a younger sister. How could he be lonely? But I suspect that his parents don't live with him, but I didn't ask him because I was afraid he would get emotional.
And besides, everything's worse, now that Ruka has just moved to another school; Natsume is bound to be even sadder.
I stayed back that day because of remedial lessons. I was already waiting for the bus. Then it came, I boarded it and saw two other students from my school.
They were both guys and I was standing in between them. The one on my left was nerdy; therefore, I strike him out.
But on my right… I couldn't really see his face but he had a piercing on his left ear and his hair was jet black, and it was all spiky. His uniform was tucked out and he was sucking a lollipop when there was a sign that clearly states no eating and drinking.
After a few stops, he was getting off the bus, but before he did, he looked at me. At the same time I tried to catch a glimpse of his face, our eyes met. And I blushed.
Did I like him? But then he had the same lonely eyes that Natsume had.
I got home and found out that no one was there. Then suddenly, the phone rang.
I picked it up, "Hello?" I said.
"Mikan, you have to come here quickly!!" Rey Onii-chan said, he sounded panicky, and scared.
I giggled. "Calm down Onii-chan, you sound so weird like that. But anyway, what do you want again?"
He murmured something through the phone.
I gasped, my eyes widened in shock and tears started pouring out. I couldn't stop them. My hands grew numb and I dropped the phone on the floor, and I ran out of the house as fast as I could.
The house was deadly silent, the only thing you could hear was the soft beeps from the phone laying on the floor.
