Thank you for all those that had been supporting me so far!! Thank you very2 much! I hope I could make a better fanfic in the future!

"Mikan..." Natsume held Mikan closer to him.

"N-Natsume..." Mikan blushed furiously. She put her head against his chest.

"Mikan... please lift your head," (oh, natsume is a bit ooc there... XD)

Mikan did what she was told, and she stared deeply into her boyfriend's lovely crimson eyes. "Natsu...me.. I.. I... this is kinda awkward..." she averted away her gaze.

"Mikan, look at me. Could you tell anything from the look in my eyes?" he said, lifting her chin, forcing her to look at him in the eyes. Her face flushed more redness.

"I... I don't know..." she looked into his eyes.

"Baka, you cannot tell? Now let me tell you..." he neared his face closer to Mikan's.

"Cho..chotto, Natsume!" she blushed more, seeing that he had closed his eyes and waiting for a soft contact on their lips. Mikan had no other choice but closed her eyes as well and waited for that intimate contact when...

RRRRRRRIIIIIIINNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

"Kyyyaaaaaaaahhhh!!!!!" Mikan got up in instantly after her alarm clock ringing. She panted heavily from getting the shock. She glared at the alarm clock angrily and slammed the button to shut it.

"Oh man,,, that was a nice dream... why did that darn clock have to wake me up?!" she mumbled to herself. She gasped as soon as she looked at her clock. "Gah! I'm late!!"

Mikan hurriedly changed into her school uniform and dashed out of her room. She didn't have her breakfast.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Natsume as usual went to high school even though he had a body of a five year old. Everybody in the school knew that his body shrunk into a little kid. So little Natsume had a hard time trying to run away from his fangirls. All the girls were searching for their idol to hug him to death because now he looked very cute.

He knew he would die soon even if he ever met one of them.

Just as he turned around the corner, a young girl cam crashing into him. Both of them fell down hard on the cold floor with the girl on top of him. Natsume groaned in pain. He opened one of his eyes and was quite shocked when he found out who had bumped into him.

The young girl had a hard time raising her body up. "Ow ow ow ow ow..."

"P-polka dots..?" a voice came from beneath her. The young girl, who happened to be Mikan, opened both her eyes. She saw a pair of clear big crimson eyes that stared back into her own.

"Oh wow... what a gorgeous pair of crimson eyes..." she thought. She found herself lost herself into Natsume's eyes as she neared her face to Natsume's. Natsume noticed this and blushed furiously. "Polka dots, snap out of it!"

"H-huh?" Mikan realized that she had been in an awkward position. She blushed crimson and quickly got herself up from Natsume's body. "S-s-s-sorry, N-Natsume!" she stammered in embarrassment.

Natsume, who was still blushing, but hid his blush well, stood up and brushed his white shirt and brown shorts. Although he secretly enjoyed that moment a little while ago, but still that wasn't the time to be thinking about that.

"Next time, see where you're walking you idiot!" he tried making himself looking angry to Mikan.

"Hey, who are you saying idiot?! I said, sorry, didn't I?!" Mikan snapped angrily.

"Well, I hadn't fully accepted your apology," he smirked.

Mikan was about to get angry again when he realized that she was awfully late. "Ah!!! I'm already late, thanks to you!! I've gotta hurry!!" she quickly dashed into class when Natsume suddenly grabbed her skirt.

"Wait, where are you going, Polka dots?"

"Natsume, let go of me!! I'm already late here! I don't want to get detention from Jinno-sensei!!" she whined.

"Then let's just skip class," he said.

"Just let go of me—huh? What did you say? Skip class?" Mikan turned to face him.

"Yes, you don't wanna get detention right? Then just skip his class,"

"What?! No way!! He will punish me!!"

"This is better than do nothing. Let's go to somewhere else," he grabbed Mikan's wrist and bring her along with him.

"Chotto, Natsume!!"

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Sakura Mikan. She's still not here?" Jinno-sensei was taking attendance of the students.

"Imai-kun, where's Sakura Mikan? Is she late again?" he asked Hotaru.

"I don't know, sensei. I haven't seen her this morning either." She answered politely.

"Is Mikan-chan alright? I hope she's okay," Anna said, worriedly.

"Don't worry, Anna-chan, I think she's just fine!" Nonoko assured her friend.

"That girl and Hyuuga-kun, I will make sure they get their punishment," he said angrily.

At the back of the class...

"Natsume, Sakura... where are you guys?" Ruka looked at the empty seat at his left side. He had a worried look on his face. "I think those two are at somewhere else... Sakura is not some kind of girl that likes to skip class.."

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"This place is..." Mikan and Natsume arrived at Natsume's favorite spot—Sakura tree.

"Just relax here, that teacher will not find us here," Natsume sat as he opened his manga to read.

"Are you crazy?! Jinno-sensei will kill us!! We will get punishment more than he ever gave his students!! I have to go! Sorry Natsume!" she spun around to go back to her class when Natsume's voice stopped her.

"Are you an idiot? There's no use for you to come back there. No matter what, you will get detention anyway, like always Polka dots," he said nonchalantly, not looking at her.

"My name is Mikan!! Not some stupid nicknames you gave me!!" she shrieked.

"So? You should get used to it by now. What are you going to do? Go back and get detention, or stay here with me?" she eyed her for her response. Mikan thought for a bit.

"I... I think... I'll stay here..." she laughed nervously.

"Hn," he smirked.

"Don't just smirking there! I agreed to stay with you here!" she shrieked angrily.

"Whatever..." he said, now reading his favorite manga.

"Hmph!" Mikan turned her head away in exasperation. "This bastard Natsume... what was he thinking?! Taking me all the way here to escape Jinno-sensei's class..."

The two were silent for a while and beginning to enjoy each other's company. Mikan leaned her back against the beautiful tree, and enjoying the soft wind that played around with her auburn hair. Without herself realizing, she began to fall asleep. Her head tilted a little, until it landed on Natsume's left shoulder.

Natsume was rather shock. He saw that the brunette has gone to sleep peacefully. He blushed a little, realizing that her head was on his shoulder. He began to wake her up to pull her weight on his shoulder.

"Oi, polka dots, wake up," he whispered softly. His right hand pushing her head a little. Still, Mikan didn't budge a bit. She really had gone to sleep.

"Tch, couldn't help it, I have to let her sleep..." he sighed and resumed back reading his manga.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Where's Mikan-chan?" Narumi-sensei asked as he saw that Mikan wasn't at her seat. The first period of Jinno-sensei's class is already over.

"She didn't come to class, sensei," Hotaru responded.

"Has she caught a fever?"

"No way could that be. That idiot is too energetic that fever can't beat her down,"

"Ahahahaha... that's good to hear..." Narumi-sensei sweat-dropped.

"Okay class! Time to do studies! Take out your Japanese book lessons!"

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Recess time...

"Ruka-kun," a girl's voice called Ruka's name softly. Ruka turned around to see it was only Hotaru.

"What is it Imai?" he asked.

"Do you know where are Mikan and Natsume-kun? They still haven't get back to class until now," she said not-too-seriously.

"Hmm... maybe they went somewhere... I believe they were escaping Jinno-sensei's class from the beginning,"

"Oh..." then Hotaru smirked mischievously. She went to her seat to get an item.

"Imai-san?" then he saw Hotaru got back with a camera in her hands.

"What's with the camera?" he smelled something suspicious.

"You won't know what you're gonna be seeing," she smirked widely. Iinchou who happened to be there had a frightened look on his face.

"No way in what you are thinking, Imai-san." Ruka sighed deeply. Then he heard a click and he saw a big baka gun pointed on his forehead.

"Just shut up and follow me to their usual place!" her eyes narrowed. Ruka gulped and nodded nervously.

000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Aww, they look so sweet and innocent," the violet-eyed girl smirked and started snatching Natsume and Mikan sleeping together, with Mikan's head on top of Natsume's head.

"Imai-san, Natsume will surely kill us, so I think you should stop now," Ruka sighed.

"Don't worry, I've already prepared for that," she paused a minute and resumed back taking pictures of the "lovebirds".

"But..." suddenly Hotaru's face appeared in front of his face. Ruka flinched and blushed coz her face was too near his face. He gulped. "W-what?"

"Are you worried for me?" she smirked with a twinkle in her right eye.

Ruka blushed more. "N-no, of course not. J-just take their pictures as many as you want,"

"Really? Thank you," Hotaru smirked again and clicking a few more pictures.

Meanwhile Ruka was calming his beating heart. "Wh-what happened just now? I almost admitted that she looked cute that way... Aaaahhh!!! What am I thinking!!!" he held his head in frustration. Hotaru glanced at him with a weird expression.
