"She was an old friend of mine," Natsume helped Mikan to answer Narumi.

"Well, it's settled then. Since Mikan-chan knows Natsume-kun, I've decided to pick Mikan-chan as Natsume-kun's partner!" Narumi exclaimed.

"WWWWWWWWWWHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTT?!" Everyone shouted.

'Oh my God... This can't be happening to me...'Mikan thought.

CHAPTER 5 FRIENDS AND ENEMIES

Silence was found in the air in 1B classroom.

Nobody said anything for the past 5 minutes.

You could even hear a pin drop in the middle of the classroom if someone drops it.

All of the students had their jaws dropped to the ground.

Well, in other words, you could say that the word SHOCKED was printed on their faces.

"Erm well, I've gotta go for a meeting, so for now, it's free period. TATA!!" Narumi, the only one who's not shocked, said as he went out of the door with a big slam.

After Narumi went out, all of the girls glared at Mikan and all of the guys glared at Natsume.

Mikan just slumped down her seat and rested her head on the table.

'Oh God... Why am I always in situations like this...'thought Mikan while having small waterfall tears in her eyes.

"Oi, Polka Dots, move your butt so that I can sit down..." a cold voice told her.

Mikan looked up and saw Natsume looking down at her.

"Natsume..." Was all Mikan could say and sat inside so that Natsume could sit.

Natsume lifted up his legs and rested them on the table.

He took out his RPG manga and started to read.

Just then, the doors of 1B opened. Three students walked in.

"Ohayo gozaimasu, minna-san," The first one said with a smile on his face.

"Ohayo, minna..." The second one said with a small smile on his face.

"..." The third one said nothing and just went to her seat.

"Ohayo, Mikan-chan," The first one and the second one said to Mikan.

"Ohayo, Iinchō, Ruka-pyon," said Mikan with a smile on her face.

"Neh, Ruka-pyon, why did you come so late today?" Mikan questioned Ruka.

"We had a meeting to attend to, and Iinchō had alot of paperwork to do... Well being the vice representative, Imai and I had to help him..." When Ruka finished to talk, he sighed as he remembered the hard work that needs to be done.

"It must be hardwork, neh, Ruka-pyon," Mikan told Ruka with a sweet smile on her face.

Ruka blushed when he saw her smile. "I-it's o-ok... I-I c-can h-handle i-it..."

"If Ruka-pyon and Iinchō are here, that means Hotaru is here too!!"

Mikan jumped out of her seat and ran towards Hotaru.

"OOOOOHHHHHAAAAAYYYYYOOOOO HHHHHOOOOOTTTTTAAAAARRRRRUUUUU!!"

BAKA! BAKA! BAKA! BAKA! BAKA! BAKA!

"Don't come near me, baka... I don't want to get your baka germs..."

"Mou, Hotaru..." Mikan pouted and went back to her seat.

"I heard from Narumi-sensei that a new guy came here, is this the guy?" Ruka asked Mikan.

"Yeah... And I can't believe that a pervert is my partner for the whole year...WWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAA!!" Mikan cried like a baby which made her look very cute.

But Ruka did not hear a word Mikan said, he just kept looking at Natsume.

'Long time no see, Natsume...'thought Ruka.

Mikan wiped off her tears and looked at Ruka. "Anyway, Ruka-pyon, this guy is Natsume. Natsume, this is Ruka-pyon."

"Long time no see, Natsume..." said Ruka with a smile on his face.

"Same to you, Ruka..." Natsume replied without looking at Ruka.

Mikan had a surprised look on her face and asked Natsume. "Heh! Natsume, how do you know Ruka-pyon?"

Natsume looked up at Mkan and glared at her. "It's none of your business, Polka Dots..."

Mikan pouted as he looked down to his RPG manga again. "Hmp! I'll just ask Ruka-pyon instead."

Mkan turned towards Ruka and asked, "Ruka-pyon, how do you know Natsume?"

"Well, to be honest, Natsume is my best friend."

"WHAT?!"

"We've been childhood friends since young, . He may act cold towards others but when you get to know him better, you'll find that he's a nice and kind guy."

"FYI, I'm just right in front of you, Ruka. You can either tell Polka Dots about me when I'm not around rather than I'm around..." Natsume glared slightly at Ruka.

"Hehehe... Erm, Natsume, you won't mind if I talk to you for awhile, would you?" Ruka asked Natsume.

"Not at all. Let's go."

Natsume and Ruka got up from their seats and went out by the door.

'Hmmmm, I wonder what could be so secretive that those two had to go outside to talk...'thought Mikan.

Mikan pushed those thoughts away and went to talk to her friends.

"How have you been, Natsume?"

"I'm fine, Ruka. What about you?"

"I'm fine too."

"You seem to know Mikan-chan, even calling her Polka Dots, why's that?"

"She wears Polka Dots panties..."

"Natsume, you really are a pervert..."

"Shut up."

Ruka stopped walking and looked at Natsume. "Really Natsume, it's been so long since I've seen you..."

"Well now you've seen me...'

Ruka laughed at Natsume's silly sentence. Just then he saw something shiny around Natsume's neck.

"Natsume, did you buy a chain necklace? There's something around your neck..."

"Oh you mean this?" Natsume stopped walking and took out his chain necklace which was hiding beneath his uniform.

"Polka Dots gave it to me."

"Mikan-chan gave you? It's clearly a fact that the way she talks to you is that she hates you... Wait... Don't tell me you did that..." Ruka had a shocked look on his face after realising what his best friend had done.

Natsume just smirked.

"N-natsume... I can't believed that you did that!" Ruka exclaimed.

"Hn, it's not my problem that she let others to see..."

Ruka sighed. "Anyway, does she know the truth?"

'Not yet."

"When will we tell her?"

"When the time is right, Ruka... When the time is right..."

Cring!! Cring!! Cring!! Cring!! Cring!! Cring!!

"YES!! IT'S FINALLY RECESS!!"

"Please keep your voice down, Sakura. Unless you want detention..."

Mikan sweat-dropped after seeing Jin-Ji- I mean Jinno-sensei holding his electric pointer pointing at her, as if ready to sent electric sparks to her.

"H-hai! S-sensei!"

"What are you going to eat, Mikan-chan?"

Mikan's pink haired friend, Anna Umenomiya, asked her.

Mikan brought up her index finger and put it on her chin, making it see like she was thinking really hard.

"Hmmmmm, maybe I might order a plate of spaghetti or a plate of chicken chop..."

"Awwwww, Mikan-chan is soooooooooo lucky... She can order anything she wants just because she is a special star..."

Anna and her blue haired best friend, Nonoko Ogasawara, said together like twins with a small grey cloud above their heads.

"I-it's ok, I guess... I can give you guys a treat you want..."

"REALLY?!"

"Yeah..."

"ARIGATO GOZAIMASU MIKAN-CHAN!!"

BAKA! BAKA! BAKA!

"Would you please shut up, you're so annoying..."

"Ouch... Gomen, Hotaru-chan..."

"Hehehe... Oh look guys, the queues are soooooooooo long..."

Mikan pointed to them to the queues.

"Heh, the one star stalls' queues are soooooooooooooooo long... And the special star stall has nobody over there!!"

"Maybe there are a few special stars in in this school, oh yeah where is Hotaru?"

Mikan looked around for Hotaru.

"Erm, Mikan-chan... Hotaru-chan is over at the three star stall..."

'Oh, come on guys, lets go get our food."

'Hai, Mikan-chan!"

While Mikan, Nonoko and Anna was queuing at the special star stall, Mikan saw a familiar face.

'Hey, is that guy Natsume? He looks alot like him... Raven hair... Crimson coloured eyes... And a smirk on his face that is looking at me... Wait a minute, it IS him!!' Mikan thought while looking at him.

"What are YOU doing here?"

Natsume smirked. "What do you thing I'm doing here? Of course I'm queuing, Polka Dots... You are SO stupid..."

Mikan's eyebrow twitched after hearing him call her 'Polka Dots'.

"Of course I know that! And how many times must I remind you that my name is Mikan!! M-I-K-A-N!!"

"Stop shouting, Polka Dots... You're making my ears bleed..."

"YOU STUPID PERVERT!! YOU STUPID IDIOT!! YOU STUPID JERK!!"

By the time Mikan had finished to screamed, Natsume walked towards her while holding his tray of food.

He learned in closed to her ear and whispered, "Oh, BTW, I didn't know that you had a pet named Ruben... You have such a lousy taste in naming pets, don't you?"

Mikan blushed of the closeness between him and her and of another fact. "YOU IDIOT!! NOT ONLY ARE YOU A PERVERT, BUT YOU ARE ALSO A STALKER TOO!!"

Natsume drew back and left the scene. "Tch, whatever... Polka Dots..."

Mikan pouted and continued queuing.

"AH!! THAT WAS SOOOOOOOOOOOOO DELICIOUS MIKAN-CHAN!! WE FELT LIKE WE WERE IN HEAVEN!!"

Mikan sweat-dropped after seeing her two friends looking like a maniac.

"Hehehe... Anything for my friends, of course..."

"Ohayo! Mikan-chan!"

Mikan turned around and smiled at the person who called her.

"Ohayo! Tsubasa-senpai!"

Tsubasa smiled at her in return.

"Anyway, I'm going off now, ja ne!"

"Ja ne! Tsubasa-senpai!"

"KYAAAAAAAAAA!! Tsubasa-senpai is soooooooooooo HOT!! Am I right?? Anna-chan??"

"Of course!! Nonoko-chan!! Mikan-chan is sooooooooooo lucky to get such a HOT senpai!!"

Mikan sweat-dropped again.

"Come on girls, let's go back to the classroom to prepare for our next lession..."

"Hai Mikan-chan!!"

The three girls then left the canteen.

"Natsume..."

Natsume turned around and saw Ruka walking towards him.

"Hm?"

"Are you alright? Usually you would be at the Sakura tree, but now you are on the school's rooftop, which is very weird of you to do that..."

"I'm alright..."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes..."

"Really?"

"Hm."

"Really truly?"

"Ruka, enough of tha-"

"Really, really tru-"

SMACK!

"OUCH! NATSUME!! Why did you do that..." Ruka whined while rubbing his head.

Natsume snorted and looked towards the deep, blue sky.

"You were bragging, Ruka..."

"I am not..."

Natsume sighed. " Anyway, shouldn't you be getting to class?"

"What about you, Natsume?"

"I'll go later..."

"Well, if there's nothing wrong then I'm going..."

Ruka got up and dusted his pants. (FYI, Ruka sat down while talking to Natsume...)

"Ja ne, Natsume..."

"Ja, Ruka..."

With that, Ruka went off.

Natsume closed his eyes and felt the wind playing with his hair.

"YO!! Hyuuga..."

Natsume spuned around to only meet Tsubasa.

Natsume glared hard at him. "Tch! What the hell are you doing here, Ando..."

"Aww ,come on, I just passed by here to say hi..."

"Tch! Whatever, since you're here, let's continue our fight since someone interrupted our fight..."

Tsubasa grinned and went into a fighting position. "Alrighty! Ready?"

Natsume just smirked and he himself got into a fighting position as well.

"Ready when you are, shadow freak..."

Once Natsume finished to speak, he and Tsubasa charged towards each other.
