Chapter 2::: Day 2: Tuesday.

-The bell rang- Mikan had managed to make it on time for probably once in about a month, "Ohayo Mr. Narumi-Sensei." Mikan sat down, Mr. Narumi smiled, "Good morning Mikan-Chan" she looked around the classroom to find that Natsume didn't look mad, though he wasn't looking at her, he was reading again, 'I wonder if he's mad.' she thought, a sudden flash back of Natsume walking away popped into her head. Mikan sighed erasing the memory as she saw Hatoru, "Hatoru!" Mikan was about to hug her when said person stepped fluidly to the side, Mikan without any way of stopping went forward hitting her face into the wall, "Ow, Hatoru why'd you do that?" Mikan asked rubbing her sore face Hotaru turned and sat down, "You should learn by now that you can only hug me once you've paid off your debt , idiot." she said monotonously, pulling out her book. Mikan sighed and sat down as Mr. Narumi snuck out of the classroom leaving the scared substitute all by himself.

-Towards the end of homeroom-

Natsume got up and headed for the door, Mikan had turned around along with the rest of the class not saying or doing anything to stop him. Mikan got up mad, pointing at Natsume accusingly, "Why do you continually leave the classroom?" Natsume turned around, pointing at the clock silently; the clock had stopped and read 8: 23 A.M. Yuu, the class rep. looked at his watch, " We only have one minute to get to our next class before we're late, it's 8:40." Everyone panicked except a select few, including Hatoru, Yuu, Natsume and Ruka. Though Natsume wasn't panicking because he'd already left the classroom but not before facing Mikan, "Baka." then left. Mikan stuck her tongue out before realizing that she was still standing in the middle of the classroom becoming more late every second., "OH NO, I'm doomed for sure, I have Mr. Jinno-sensai next." Mikan quickly gathered her things only tripping once in her haste and entered her next classroom.

She could already hear the frog on Jinno-sensei's shoulder croaking loudly in the quiet room, "uh oh." Mikan muttered as she looked up to meet the eyes of her executioner. (A/N:: Not really though I bet it would seem like that, ne?) The whole classroom was silent some covering their ears knowing what was coming next, and they were right at least that was what it seemed like as the teacher's turned red. The teacher's wand began to emit sparks, "Miss Sakura, why are you late?" he asked calmly, Mikan thought of how to explain it with out triggering his angry, "um…the clock in homeroom stopped and so I didn't make it on time." Mikan looked around the classroom to find that everyone from homeroom had made it on time, 'not fair, why me?' she thought silently Mr. Jinno-sensai took that as ignoring him and was furious, "MISS SAKURA YOU WILL BE ASSIGNED JOBS THAT OF A NO STAR!" Mikan's face turned pale for a second before she nodded and went to her seat.

Mikan had managed to become a double star since her first year there, she was now in Alice Academy for her second year, in a week she'd be 13, though only Hatoru knew that. The class ended pretty quickly and they were given no homework, though they did have a test the next day, Jinno-sensai said he felt, "generous" today. Soon it was already lunch time, Mikan, happy for the break quickly took her lunch outside to sit under the sakura tree, though someone was already there (A/N::: Guess who? Btts; back to the story) Mikan could see it was Ruka and sitting beside him was Natsume. Mikan hid behind the tree and watched for a second before jumping out and saying, "Hi Ruka, Natsume." Ruka smiled, "Hey Mikan." greeting back, while Natsume just continued reading his manga, ignoring her. Mikan stuck her tongue out mad, Natsume just held one hand up and snapped his finger as a flame appeared on the ends of Mikan's pigtails. Mikan noticed her hair on fire immediately and screamed as her alice of nullification kicked in and extinguished the fire, "Why'd you do that Natsume, you jerk?" Mikan shouted forgetting about him ignoring her, Natsume just closed his book looking up annoyed, "Oi Polka dots I can't read with you shouting every few minutes." Mikan was mad though a little hurt, "All I said to you was, hi and instead of saying hi back you ignored me, jerk." Mikan looked surprisingly calm which scared both Ruka and Natsume a little. Mikan watched as Natsume's expression turned to apologetic before it changed back to expressionless, Mikan smiled and laughed a little, "I can't believe you looked sorry, so I'll forgive you Natsume," Ruka looked shocked and quickly looked at Natsume, who just opened his manga again and began reading it saying, "Baka why should I be 'Sorry' for something I say to an idiot?" he shot back, Mikan turned away saying over her shoulder, "I'm not a idiot, you pervert." -The bell rung signaling the end of their lunch break as everyone quickly went to their classrooms-

-AFTER SCHOOL-

Mikan logged on to her messenger, Hatoru wasn't on yet., "Probably working on another invention." she muttered, Ruka was online so Mikan started to chat with him instead.

Apreciousflower: Hey Ruka-pyon.

Animal-tamer13: Hey Mikan. (A/N: couldn't think of a better name, if any of you can think of a better one then tell me but for now it's going to stay the same. Btts.)

Apreciousflower: How are you?

Animal-tamer13: I'm fine, sorry about what Natsume did today.

Apreciousflower: That's okay, it's not your fault it's Natsume-jerks fault.

Animal-tamer13: Don't be too mean to Natsume, he's just not used to being close to others.

Apreciousflower: He started it though, you saw I was just saying hi to you two when he ignored me and lit my hair on fire!

Animal-tamer13: You probably just startled him, that's all.

Apreciousflower: oh, that makes sense, thanks Ruka, I need to go now. I might be on later. Bye.

Apreciousflower has logged off.

Animal-tamer13: Mikan, I really like you.

Animal-tamer13: Bye.

Animal-tamer13 logged off.

Ruka's house-

Ruka stared at his message after Mikan had logged off, he knew she'd never see it though he just felt that he should just write it to see how it felt. Ruka stared at the message for another minute before closing it with a sigh, "Why am I such a coward?" half-heartedly he awaited for a reply to his question though he also knew that he was all alone and know one would answer, so instead he did his homework.

Natsume's house-

Ruka had given him the usernames of Imai and Polka dots without him so much as asking for them, Ruka had thought that he'd want them…in which he secretly did, at least one of the usernames. Natsume logged on after Ruka had logged off. Only a couple of people knew Natsume's username which included, Ruka, Permy (Sumire) who got it out by force using Ruka, and his most hated person, Persona. Persona was only added by force so that he could tell him his new missions if he was ever sick, since the phone lines might have been tampered with by their enemies. Natsume looked at the piece of paper Ruka had given him with Imai's and Polka dot's usernames and added them to his list. What Natsume didn't realize was that Mikan had logged on again.

Apreciousflower: Na-Natsume?

A/N: I'll leave you at this cliff hanger…gomen about taking this long to update I've been SOOOO busy with school…though now that everything is going to be back to normal in my school I'll be able to update really soon and I'll be able to write longer chapters too, so please forgive me and keep reading and commenting, and I'll keep updating ASAP, k?
