Chap chap 9

Be Strong

Through the pitch black room, only a beam of the moon entered its light through the visible white curtained window. There glowed half of her position just to find her hugging her leg and dug her head between it. Sobbing and sniffing were echoing through the room.

"Why?" she uttered, barely audible, "What did I do to deserve this?"

"Maybe she hates me already." He said.

The Next Morning

Mikan's POV

I leisurely opened my eyes and peek through my blanket to glance my alarm clock; it read 6 in the morning. Okay, I didn't have that nice sleep last night after what happened. Ugh. Anyway, I brushed off my blanket and faced the mirror. I found dried tears in my cheeks and puffy red eyes. Great. Now an idea not to go to school today popped into my mind, but I think it's not good.

I took a shower and wore my uniform. I pushed myself outside to avoid being bored inside my room. Where am I heading?! Well, our classroom would be empty at this time but then I got no choice than meeting him at the Sakura tree.

I slid the door, expecting to see no one inside the room. To my mistake, I saw someone sitting while working on with something. Hotaru.

"Great, I've been expecting you." she said monotonously. Though it was the same dull voice as ever, this time it shows curiosity.

I walked up to her. "What do you mean?"

"I heard what had happened yesterday."

"Oh, that?" I tried giggling but instead, tears formed in my eyes. "Oh, many things happened yesterday."

"Stop denying it Mikan. People from the academy grounds knew about that."

"Sheesshh… What do you really mean all?!"

"Yes. And I believe Mr. Hyuuga's part of it."

Unexpectedly, my tear fell.

"Oh, that's funny. I'm not jealous about yesterday. Yeah so? I don't care if they already confessed to each other. I don't care if they're a couple already. I don't care if my fiancé just… just dump me for a new girl!" I started yelling.

"You're jealous."

"I'm not jealous!!"

"Idiot."

"wha'd ya say?!"

"Don't you get it Mikan?!" she said, almost yelling, yet still dull and I looked at her. "You're being jealous because you love him."

"No I don't! Not all engaged person loves each other!"

"You're jealous because you love Natsume, and you're scared Sumire would get him from you!" she protested.

"Okay, let's just say I love him. Then I must let him go! He loves Sumire, not his fiancée!"

"Idiot! Natsume will never love Sumire!" she shouted, okay not shouted because it's still dull.

Pause. But we can never predict. What if he secretly likes Sumire?

"I just said that will never happen!" she said. Did she just read my mind?!

"I didn't, but I felt it." She said. "Enough, you just said you love him."

"I didn't"

"Yes you did."

"Got record tape to proof it?!" I said, confidently.

"Did you just asked for a proof?!"

"Yeah!" I said.

Then she got a silvery rectangle object out of her pocket and clicked a button…

"You're jealous because you love Natsume, and you're scared Sumire would get him from you!" she protested.

"Okay, let's just say I love him. Then I must let him go! He loves Sumire, not his fiancée!"

Then she played it over and over again until I was pissed and stole it from her hands and clicked stopped.

"Do you want a video for more proof?" She said.

"NO NEED!"

Silence…

"Mikan…"

"…"

"I want you to be strong."

"And now you're asking me to have my daily exercise..?!??!" she said.

Hotaru simply shot her with a mini baka gun. "Idiot! Not physically strong!"

"Then what do you mean..??!!" I asked.

But before she answers my question, a slid door caught our attention. There stood Yuu. He both shot us a confused look. Like what-are-you-looking-at look.

"Wash you're face before people will see your dried tears." She whispered.

"Hai." I said and ran outside and headed for the rest room.

Dismissal Time

"Okay class I want you to study more on this. Understood?!" the teacher said.

"Yes sir!" we all said.

Okay, through this day, I can't stop glancing at him. And sometimes I'm catching him looking at me. Thanks to Hotaru I gained my confidence that even if they are already a couple, I still have the right since I was his fiancée. She started it anyway.

"Oh MY Natsume, you told me that we have our date today right?" said Permy as she cling her arms to his'.

"Shut up" he simply said. "I have an important thing to do."

"But I'm your-" before she could continue, I stood up and gave a peck to Natsume's cheek. I felt gazes locked on us, I even heard gasps.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING TO MY NATSUME!?!?!?!?!?!" Sumire yelled. Now we caught the attention of the people around.

There we go again.

CUT! Haha! I smell fight again! And I'm sorry about my foul word, the "what the toooot-!" thingy… well you see, I really don't like to put that word but like I said, if the foul words are part of the character's attitude, I might as well put it (refer to my profile). Though I know there's another way by not putting it.

I'm sorry for this stupid chapter… Gomen… And I have a question, if you own Gakuen Alice, how would you end it?!
