Chapter 5: Chocolate liquor
Pure… no added alcohol...
"Mikan... stop crying... your eyes will only get swollen..." Yuu said trying to comfort Mikan...
"The shock was too much for her..." was Nonoko her classmate's comment "Poor Mikan... but try thinking on the positive side, at least it was stolen by some good looking guy not to mention he's very popular to both sexes"
Her eyebrows began to twitch as a vein appeared on her forehead...
"That's right... I should be thankful because not only did he kissed me in front of everybody he was also the same person who poured the chocolate syrup on my head not to mention he ditched me during detention making me do all of the work!" she exclaimed as stomped her way out of the cafeteria..
The school bell rang as student began to return to their classrooms... classes resume like always... during their home economics class...
"ughh.. He disgust me" Mikan said while making a meringue still referring to the kiss
"Mikan... don't think about it..." Yuu said to her as her
"What the hell... it was my first... my precious first kiss..." she angrily retorted back as she pointed at Yuu
From across the room she suddenly heard a very eerie laugh...
"Aren't you happy that you were even able to touch his lips with that disgusting lips of yours" Sumire said
"Have you gone nuts?" Mikan replied as their group began to laugh
With that Sumire's irritation towards her grew bigger... all of a sudden...
"Can anybody get the copy of the assignment recipe on my table and also the sample materials" the teacher announced
Sumire then raised her hand
"Ma'am... Sakura said that she want to volunteer... to make up for last time" Sumire said as she was laughing inside
"What the..." Mikan said who was annoyed
Without wanting to cause any argument Mikan headed towards the staff room and took the needed papers...
"What the hell did I do to deserve this kind of treatment" she thought as it was followed by a sigh... she then shook her head down feeling dejected
All of a sudden... a crashing sound echoed the hallway... papers flew all over the place...
"Ouch... my back hurts" she said...
"Hey... watch where you're going" was the cold voice of the person she bumped to
Slowly she turned her gaze on the person whom she bumped to... her eyes met with a pair of crimson orbs
"What the..." she said as she bent down to pick up the scattered papers...
Natsume for a moment glanced at her... without saying any words he began to walk past her
"Hey aren't you suppose to help me?!" she exclaimed
With a smirk painted on his face
"Well it doesn't look like you need any help" was his cool reply as he watched her picking up the papers...
All of a sudden a hand holding the rest of the scattered paper reached out to her
"Here you go..." Ruka said as helped her picked up the scattered paper
"Thanks Ruka... my thoughts of you already changed" she jokingly said
Ruka on the other hand just smiled at her as he helped her stood up...
"Its nothing" he replied and with that he followed Natsume
Quickly after gathering all of the paper she went bakc to their class..
The sand of time began pouring down... time flew by quickly... the school bell rang signaling the end of the day for classes...
"This is such a long day..." Mikan thought as she began to walk the bricked pathway leading to her dorm... "I hope nothing more will happen today... that Sumire, what the hell did I do to her... she's gone nuts... now I have my homework doubled again by that Home economics teacher.." were the complains she had in mind..
The wind blew softly as the sky was painted fading colors of orange... the sun is slowly starting too hid behind the day clouds...
"Isn't that..." she thought as her eyes caught a glimpse of a raven haired boy resting under the shade of a tree...
Flashbacks of the scenario that afternoon flooded her head...
"Dear God, what have I done to deserve this kind of punishment... all I ever wanted was to have a peaceful life, one that is similar to the fairytales that I've once read... I have never been choosy as far as I can remember... but..." thought this auburn haired girl as she gets lost in her thoughts
Raging with anger she approached Natsume who was sitting lying on the grass underneath the maple's shade.
"Why the hell give me a frog?? I wished for a prince..." she shouted as she pointed her finger towards Natsume... "You are the worst kind of human... are you even considerable as a human? Cruel..." she said being all dramatic and exclaiming... "Don't you know that a girl's first kiss is very special especially mine..." she shouted again "You have tainted by innocence"
She then glanced at him to see his reaction, but there was none... his didn't even bother to defend him...
"So Insensitive" she said bursting from anger...
It was then followed by a short moment of silence...
"You're annoying" was his simple reply as he turned his glance at her "aren't you over reacting." He continued as he stood up and brushed off the dust from his clothes.
She wanted to retort back but no words escaped her mouth, she was left dumbfounded as she watched him leaving. Her locks swayed as the wind gently passed by. Her thought were filled with irritation.
"How could he be so insensitive" she said
A hand suddenly pat her head, she turned to see who it was. Her eyes met with a pair of blue orbs. He was smiling at her.
"Don't think of it too much... I think that's what Natsume is trying to tell you..." Ruka said to her as if he was talking to a little child
"How should I not suppose to think of it...? It was my first, it's supposed to be special... not something that would entertain another person..." she said fuming as she stomped her foot...
He then smiled at her again...
"Well if think of it this way... have you ever been kissed by a child?" he asked her as her gestured for them to sit under the shade of the tree...
Without thinking she sat beside him and with a nod she replied... she gazed at him wondering what he's trying to tell her...
"Hmm... think of it this way, that Natsume is just a playful little boy... if you put no malice to it then you can tell your self that your first kiss wasn't stolen.." he said as he smiled at her
"Huh? Which part of him is child like... he is not cute as a child you know....' she said still being stubborn
Ruka then chuckled as her reply surprised him
"I'm just saying, that a kiss can only be considered as a kiss if you have feelings for each other..." were his words to her
The wind blew softy and the leaves rustle. There was this moment of silence as she stared at him. Her heart began to race.
He then stood up and stretched out his hand to her...
"Well its getting you should head back to you dorm..." he said as he took her hand and pulled her up
"Thanks..." she said to him as a faint tint of pink appeared on her face...
"No problem... anyway I need to head out now... I'm going to meet up with the others... take care and don't think of it too much..." he said and bid his farewell...
She watched him take his leave, her heart kept on pounding, she doesn't know what it means... she's feeling a bit nervous, excited and happy... all of her emotions are being mixed up... she was staring to nothing now.. Her mind is still full of what he had said...
"You are really unbelievable..." said a girl's voice that disturbed her thoughts
She then turned around to look whom it was... her eyes met with a pair of olive colored orbs... one of which jealousy can be seen visibly.
"What the hell are you talking about Sumire" Mikan questioned her...
Sumire's eyebrow arched as she looked at her from head to toe...
"I guess this is your true color huh… after flirting with Natsume next you are targeting Ruka now..." she said as she was leaning on a tree...
"Say whatever you want…" Mikan flared back as she began to walk headed towards her dorm...
The sky turned pitch black as street lamps began to light the streets... young people started to gather in different bars... There was loud music, people were laughing and some were shouting... some guys were dancing and flirting with other girls... the place reeks of alcohol and smoke... As puffs of cigarettes can be seen...
"Aren't you being too nice to the girl...?" Natsume suddenly said as he stood up from his seat
"I'm just comforting her... Girls needs to be treated gently..." was his simple reply as he took a sip of alcohol
Natsume then glanced at him and saw that Ruka was smiling...
"Well, whatever its none of my business but just a piece of advice, don't be kind to a girl if you have no intention of taking responsibility afterwards" he said as he placed his glass on the table
Ruka just smiled at Natsume as if what Natsume was saying means nothing...
"Don't worry... I'm quite a responsible person" Ruka said confidently
Natsume then stared at him...
"Natsume are you bothered by it?" Ruka half jokingly said
With a smirk Natsume replied
"There's no reason for me to be bothered..." was his cool reply as he took a sip of alcohol "in the end what's mine is just going to be mine..."
"Hey... guys we're here to have some fun... you two stop all these serious talks..." their friend interrupted seeing a bit of tension building up between the two...
It was almost dark when she arrived at the door of her room... she then searched for her keys... with a pinning sigh she opened her door jerking her things on the floor... she then threw herself to her bed...
"This is a VERY long day..." she said to herself...
Mikan then rested for a while still being absorbed by her thought of Ruka... "It was just a small talk though... I wonder why did it appeal so much to me.." she thought as she reached for her pillow and embraced it "Ruka is more of the prince type unlike that bastard Natsume" with that she thought she stood up from her bed the headed to her shower..
A gust of Night's wind gently passed by as she sat on her window sill... The stars and the moon illuminated the dark sky... the smell of spring calmed the mind of this auburn haired girl. She then stared at the sky... with her thoughts filled with the day's happening.
She took a deep breathe...
"Okaasa... for the first time in my life I felt that my heart was racing... It kept on beating faster every time I think of him... what could it mean? It was a dreadful day but after talking with Ruka I felt a lot better..." she said "my heart, I can't understand it... it can settle... its beating too fast..." she thought...
She then stood up and went to her bed...
"I hope that tomorrow I'd be able to see him again..." she thought as she laid her head on her pillow...
The hands of time kept on ticking... in the midst of the night she felt the cold wind touching her face but there was this comforting warmth that seems to be wrapped around her body which makes her feel safe.. She then tucked her self underneath her sheets...
The mornings breathe came freely inside her room... her alarm clock began to ring loudly...
"Ughh… it's still too early..." she said as she tried reaching out for he clock...
"Too noisy... you're giving me a headache... I still want to sleep" was a familiar deep voice
Being half asleep she turned off the alarm...
"Yeah... I still want to sle---" she replied as she tucks herself inside her bed... "Ahh!!" she shouted as she realized that she was not alone...
"What the hell are you doing here?" she exclaimed...
