CHAPTER 4

We were in that same discussion room having that same old lecture where Dr. Narumi kept on saying; how special we were.

Yeah right, as if we are blessed to have these kinds of sicknesses; I thought while rolling my eyes.

"I wish I could send a bullet through his head," said Hotaru in her most irritated voice. Without even realizing, a huge laughter broke out of my mouth.

The next thing I noticed happened to be the number of annoyed eyes staring back at me. I slightly bent my head in every direction to let them know that I was sorry.

As I did I so, my eyes caught the gaze of those annoying pair of crimson eyes as well and I unconsciously even glared at him.

Then I suddenly remembered that I'd have to go to his office today as well. Urgh! Great, now he'll sue me for the fact that I glared at him. Thanks to his childish overreacting disorder, I wasn't able to be with Hotaru when she needed me the most.

I swear to god if this time he tries to do something, I'll make sure to file a complaint to the owner…Oh great! I forgot he's the owner's stupid son. Do you know how helpless I'm feeling at the moment?!

"Mikan! Could you please tell us how you feel about this?"

My thoughts vanished like bubbles as a gentle voice asked me. I tilted my head to the side a little. This time I saw Dr. Narumi and the others including Mr Overreacting looking at me expectantly….to tell you the truth , I didn't even know what he had been talking about.

Should I ask him to repeat it?! God I'm doomed. Is he asking my opinion on the flower he has in his hand? I cleared my throat to answer. Here goes nothing….

"Well Dr Narumi I think it's a really nice one. I hope you get to have it forever."

God! I never knew that talking about a flower was harder than talking about the history of this whole world. My answer made everyone burst into laughter. Dr Narumi looked uneasy…

"Mikan, do you really hope for that?" he asked playfully but the hurt in his eyes was clearly evident. Did I say something wrong?! Oh dear, I have a bad feeling about this. Why did he sound weird?

"Way to go, Mimi!" Tsubasa jokingly punched me, with a wide smile. What did I do to make him look this happy?

"BAKA, I think you should join my company of sarcasm. We could earn a lot of money" Hatoru said in her oh-so boring voice with a . Huh? Sarcasm?

"Could somebody tell me what's happening?!" no one was listening to me. Everybody was having their private talks while laughing and giggling.

"You really don't know what's happening huh?" a voice came from behind me interrupting my reverie. I jerked my head and saw a smirking Natsume, leaning forward on the chair right beside me, as he spoke.

"What are you doing here?" I accused. I mean, wasn't he sitting in the opposite side of the room a few minutes ago?

"Well polka, that's none of your business. So you really wanted to show off that big mouth of yours? But then again that gay guy deserves it…" he continued in a mischievous voice.

Who's Polka?! What's he talking about?!

"If you are jealous because I was generous enough to compliment that little flower, I believe you should back off now." I don't know why I felt so confident to say that, but it feels better now that I've voiced out my thoughts.

Natsume looked at me questioningly but the way he did it made it clear that I was playing right into his hands.

"Generous? Compliment? Flower? Haha…. It seems that you're in the highest stage of your illness." He said smirking.

It took me a while to come back into my senses because hearing him say that in with his annoying smirk really makes me feel weird.

"Okay…okay…. I admit it…I wasn't listening properly, but I'm pretty sure he was talking about that rose." I said defensively.

"God, Polka, you should have seen how stupid you looked." He said teasingly.

"Mr. Hyuuga, do I need to remind you how stupid you looked yesterday?" I asked accusingly.

His playful look vanished as I mentioned that incident about that yucky blue pill. It didn't take me long to regret what I said, because that same painful look he had yesterday at his office, re-surfaced. But I saw him shaking his head as if to get whatever he was thinking out of his head. Creepy….

"Yeah whatever." He mumbled, with his usual poker face. Wow…. Him and his mood swings. I think I should start calling him Mr Mercurial.

After a few seconds, he stood straight and went towards Dr Narumi without bothering to say another word or even bothering to look my way. What's wrong with him?! I rolled my eyes for the umpteenth time.

I turned back and saw Hotaru and Tsubasa staring back at me with wide eyes.

"What's wrong guys!" I asked, with my usual happy face. Come to think of it, there's something about that Hyuuga that manages to ruin my good mood.

"You know that guy?" Tsubasa asked as if I did a magic trick or something like that.

"Yeah I guess." I said while shrugging.

"Since when?" surprisingly Hotaru asked.

"Wooow, so you guys are friends?!" Misaki joined the conversation out of nowhere even before I could answer to Hotaru's question.

"Since yesterday and of course NOT! We're anything but friends" I almost yelled. Yet, Misaki still looked unconvinced and both she and Tsubasa were grinning widely. Sheesh these people!

"Anyways Mimi, you do know that Dr Narumi was asking what you thought about your illness right?" he asked and I almost chocked myself to death.

Well Dr Narumi I think it's a really nice one. I hope you get to have it forever; the words I told him echoed in my head.

OMG! It's like I've cursed him….. I had practically told him that I hope he'd get that same illness, forever! Never in a million years would I hope for such a cruel thing…..not even towards an enemy…

Without speaking a word, I marched to the front of the room to where Dr Narumi was. He was reading a paper when I came and apologized to him with all my heart.

"It's okay Mikan-chan…. Natsume-kun already told me. I understand" he said brightly. I stood there dumbstruck. He told him?!

"Thank you Dr Narumi" I didn't know what else to say.

"Ohh! I almost forgot! I promised to treat Hotaru to some crabs." I said more to myself. She would have killed me if I forgot my promise since I owe her big time.

"Well that's a good idea Mikan- chan, but I think you should first meet Natsume-kun and help him with his project, don't you think so?" he asked, hearing what I said.

Oh god, how did I forget about that?! Awe…..I wanted to eat with Hotaru so badly! I looked at Dr Narumi's face again only to find him looking at me expectantly.

"Okay" I muttered under my breath and sighed. Today sure is a long day.
