PLAYING WITH HEARTS

~ The deeper you fall; the harder it is to get up and move on.

CHAPTER FIVE;

Bored and with nothing to do. Oh great, I followed his command about waiting in my room and guess what's so ironic about that one? Yes, you've guessed it. It's already 7:30 am and that means it's only five minutes before class starts. I'm complying with him saying I need to most of the girls; but those girls don't have a cocky Hyuuga Natsume, do they?

I sighed in frustration and went on to class, finding him there, looking all cozy and at ease. I gritted my teeth and was furious, madly furious. How dare he stood me up? And he was the one who wanted me to wait for him at my front door. I stormed to him and violently scolded bloody hell.

"Tch, Polka, it's early in the morning and you're here making everyone's ears bleed to death." He? How dare he say that to me? He was the bloody reason for this making-everyone's-ears-bleed-early-in-the-morning. Alright, I needed to be calm – I should freakin' be calm.

"Mikan, dear, it's so early and you're screaming. Don't you know that would strain your angelic voice?"

I know that voice, I succinctly know that voice. That husky and masculine voice I used to be obsessed with – that only belong to him. I can't comprehend what I was hearing now and I was to shock to even look at the back. I don't want to see him again and I thought the day would never come, I was utterly wrong.

A strong arm suddenly circled my face and I was facing the person who I don't ever want to see – Hanazaki Rui. The one who caused so much heart ache and pain, the reason why I moved to this academy and the reason why I fell out of love.

"Hey babe, I've missed you." He told as I stared into his cerulean eyes. He was about to kiss me when someone stronger pulled my waist tightly and protectively.

"Na… tsu… me," I stuttered. Feeling very wobbly, I hold on to Natsume like a life support. I couldn't believe that he was really here, that Rui would be here. This is really a bad morning to start off.

"Rui…," I stuttered again. I felt dizzy now. I felt like I was on drugs now, I can't comprehend anything – I can't even stand straight and can't even say words completely without stuttering them, even names as simple as theirs.

In a swift movement, Natsume clearly shoved me to his back. Himself, facing Rui with those violent crimson eyes he owned. I was clearly blanked out and I was finally about to calm down when I honestly it was futile – they're about to fight, somehow, I can just feel the heat by now.

"Hanazaki, why the bloody hell are you doing here?" Natsume dropped venom on every word; like he was ready to pounce on him on moment now. Unexpectedly, Rui laughed, laughed out loud really.

"There's nothing damn funny about this." Natsume stated seriously. Honestly, this ain't a good morning; it's friggin' early to swear and to put a fight.

"You, you're the one funny here. I should be the one asking that, you dirt bag." Rui said while chuckling and staring at me, even though I'm already safely behind Natsume's back.

"Guys, seriously, Natsume and I have a class to go to. Now shut the hell up, Rui, or I'll let those clips do that for me." I told him, not minding to look at him and grabbed Natsume's hand and stormed off to the classroom, feeling very uneasy.

Don't worry, Mikan. It'd be a small chance of him being your classmate, plus I didn't tell him my section, I mean, am right, right? Oh well. I thought as I looked beside me. Having Natsume's angry demeanor really is annoying. It's like those boiling water wherein you have to wait until it's cooled down to touch it. Yes, what a lame simile.

"C'mon, Natsume, lighten up. It's not like I'm going back to him, leaving you here looking like a total idiot," I told him, looking at his face sincerely.

"Polka–" he was cut off by our very gay and lively teacher, Mr. Narumi. Okay, I'm not sure if he's gay, but with his impression on me and those chiffon outfits, I guessing my theory is right.

"Dear Beloved students of mine! There's a new student coming here. And he's from the States, please welcome him here warmly. Here's Rui-kun!" Mr. Narumi shouted cheerfully and full of happiness emitting from him.

Oh, who? Oh hell no. It can't be him, it can't be him, oh shit, and it is him. He's here, coming from the door. With his brown hair and perfectly tanned skin tone and fit and lean body; best of it all, he's got those deep green eyes that perfectly compatible with him. Oh hell, I'm starting to talk about him like those annoying fan girls.

Almost all of girls in the classroom squealed and those big fat hearts on their eyes as they stare at him longingly. I stiffened when he's stare directly stared into my hazel one's. I looked away quickly and this can really happen, can it?


Oh yes, this is a cliffy :D
