PLAYING WITH HEARTS
The deeper you fall, the harder it is to get up.

RECAP:
He's holding my hand too?! What the hell is he doing? I struggled as he held on tighter. The people around us was gasping, howling and a girl who seemed fairly familiar to me was talking picture. Wtf?!
He finally let go of me, both of bus gasping for air. I was about to slap him when he kissed my cheek, my mind went blank.
"Dear Polka, you shouldn't punch nor slap me. Oh, you're forgiven; the kiss was great too." He stood up and left the classroom, leaving me confused and annoyed.
--
"The hell?" I thought out loud. I grabbed my handkerchief out of my pocket and wipe his saliva on my lips, but I must say that he's a good kisser. Oh wait, forget that I said that. Then a major realization hit me, he stole two kisses from me! Not just one, but two! I sulked at my desk. I promised myself the next one I would kiss would be my future husband, not another playboy again. I don't deserve this!
"Nastume," a boy with blonde and alluring blue orbs called him. How cute, he has this small yet adorable bunny on top of his hands. Is he gay? Oh goodness. Maybe or maybe not, whatever.
I looked up to see the person who I think was fairly familiar to me. I checked her eyes, it was purple. Just like my childhood friend.. don't tell me that she's Hota-chan? I yelped run as fast as I could and hugged her with all my might. And again, they gasped at me and her.
"Took you long enough to remember me, huh baka?" she said ever so coldly as always.
"Of course! I miss you, you know," I told her as I let go of her. Meet Imai Hotaru, the greatest best friend you'll ever need. She might be a good blackmailer and all of that; but you know, she blackmails people with a reason. Honestly, she may be blackmailing you for money. Money, her profound love since I knew her. And I knew her since I was born!
"Yo-you know Imai Hotaru? The freakin' Ice Queen?" a boy asked with big curious eyes, this guy was very funny-looking if you asked me.
"Of course I know her, she's my childhood friend." I answered back to him with a sweet smile. Seeing her almost made my anger for Natsume fled. Almost, but not quite.

By the time our break time is over, we had classes again which means I had to sit beside that horrible jerk for three long tiresome hours.
Then my phone vibrated, I wondered who the hell would text me during school hours. I read the message, not believing my eyes who the sender was. It was him. Oh shit, how the hell did he found out my new number? damnit.
Rui:
Babe, let's forget what happened during the past. I still love you, you know. I can't bare to think that I pick a slut like her instead of a princess such as yourself. And I know you still have those feelings for me. I'm so sorry for being a jerk to you. If ever we would get back together, I'll show you how much I adore you and my loyalty to you and you alone. So what do you think, babe? Txt me back, love you.

My mind couldn't process anything of what he texted. I know for a fact that he's still a playboy, but he sounded so sincere and all. But of course I wouldn't get back with him, in his useless dreams. Pardon, loyalty? You're not even loyal to yourself.
Before I could text a reply. Long strong hands grabbed my phone - of course, it's Hyuuga. I swear if he reads that message, he'll laugh at me and I'll be forced to kill him. Oh wait, make that intentionally killing him.
"What's this, polka?" he asked. Duh, it's a phone. But I know that wasn't was he meant. I wonder why he souned so demanding and furious. I looked at him; his eye's were flowing with fury. Thank God that we're under the Sakura Tree, if it's the classroom; I would scream so violently.
"Why're you furious? Oh nevermind. Wanna hear a story, Hyuuga?" I asked him instead of answering his question. He'll understand what that text meant if I told him that story.
"Just the answer the freakin' question, polka. And don't ever call me Hyuuga." His voice was with venom and hatred. He sounded so creepy and scary at the same time. For once in many years, I felt afraid of a person.
"Just listen," I told him and patted the ground beside me gesturing him to sit down. He obeyed, surprisingly. I remembered everything so vividly that it creeps me out. I sighed and began with the story.
"September 14, 2007. I met this guy named Hanaki Rui...."
--
"Dear me Mi-chan! Hanaki-san is so inlove with you. Can't you see? You're so dense!" Rika told me out of the blue. I was studying in the library for a test in algebra. I was about the scold her for disturbing me, but the thing she said was clouding up my mind.
"Don't believe in rumors, Rika." I told her and went back to solving a problem.
"He even told me himself! He asked me if you could meet him at the garden right now!" She seems so energetic. But so was I.
Hanazaki Rui was the guy who was swoon by all types of girls. He was the most popular guy in school, with his good looks and charm; he could steal any girl's heart. And so he did, with mine. I was so madly inlove with him.
So I went to the garden as told and I saw him with a bouquet of white roses on his right hand. And of course, a trademark smile on his handsome face.
"Hey Rui-san," I greeted him.
"Don't be too formal, my dear; call me Rui." he replied, revealing his bright white smile.
"This is for you. You know Mikan, I love you since the day we met. As they say, love at first sight. So, uhm. I'm asking you if you could be my girlfriend?" he asked with a loving and sincere voice.
"Of course! I love you too." I told him and hugged him. He kissed me too, a tender and loving kiss.
After a few months of being together, a rumor spreaded: saying how he cheated on me for some other pretty and rich girl. At first I didn't believed them, then I saw it with my one eyes.
I peered outside of the window, and he was there! Kissing her and not an ordinary kissing. It was french kissing, a major lip-locking moment. I cried a river for that, he was cheating on me.
Then I heard his friends saying how he cheated on me a lot of times. I got angry for him and started to hate. I ended our relationship with a hard slapped on his face; as a result, he's left cheek was swollen.
I left that school, thinking that I could have a new life here. I left everything behind. I left my friends there, my loved one's. I was a fool to believe that he would be faithful to me. I'm so so stupid.
--
"So that's why I'm here," I looked at him. He was thinking something so deep and I don't even know if he listened to my story. I tried to poke him and he looked me with those alluring crimson eyes.
"So now he realizes how much he loves you and how he needs you; he also wants you two to get back together, right?" He asked with such a serene voice that my eyes widen in shock that he could have a voice like that.
"Right," I replied emotionless, I guess.
"Are you gonna go back to him?" I looked at him with disbelief. He sounded so nice and understanding today, I wonder what happened to him.
"Of course not!" I exclaimed. No way in hell would I ever go back to that playboy, never.
"That's good. Because now, you're all mine." He then hugged me in a tight embrace and pecked my forehead with his warm lips. He left leaving me very confused again. Then he showed his smile, I was surprised that he looks better with a smile.
"See you later, polka," he then waved goodbye. Oh, he also tossed my phone to my lap.
I checked my phone. Shoot, he replied to Rui's message. I went to my sent box and it was already sent! I checked and read what he replied to him.
Mikan:
Look you asshole, Mikan is no longer your's. She's mine now. And she also said that she doesn't love you anymore. Okay?
Dated: October 28 '08; 2:45 pm
I'm his? What the fuck was that all about? I don't understand this! I don't understand him. I need to talk to him about this, argh. But wait, why is my heart beating rapidly? I touched my cheeks, they were warm. Oh dear no, I'm not falling in love with another playboy! Aaargh.
--
"So she doesn't want to fall in love with another playboy, huh. Be ready, Natsume. You're gonna change for her and she'll fall madly in love with you. No one ever rejected me anyways," Nastume thought while a smirked was plastered on his face.
"Just you wait, Mikan Sakura. You're soon gonna be mine," he thought again while the smile on Mikan's face was on his mind. And then he soon fell asleep, dreaming about the girl he wants.
And whatever Natsume Hyuuga wants, he always gets them.
Here's part two of the story, enjoy! :)
Btw, sorry for long upload :D
