Chapter 6 – Pictures
The next day, Mikan was eating with her friends – by friends I mean Ruka, Taiki, Koko and Yuu. While eating, a group of Martial Artists came out from nowhere. They were going towards Mikan.
"Mikan Sakura," The leader of the group bowed after.
"Yes," Mikan got confused about what they're acting.
"You run very fast! We want you to become a part of our group." The leader said. Mikan was really puzzled, yet she can't understand them.
"Look guys, I don't want to join any clubs now." Mikan said. Then a sudden ring was heard, a group of bicycle riders were coming for Mikan.
"Mikan Sakura," Their leader called, "Join our club! You run very fast, and you would be perfect to be in our club!"
"Oh no, they're really onto me!" Mikan thought. Then, not so soon after, a group of men were seen with their scooters were also going over Mikan.
"Mikan," Their leader called, "You will be perfectly suitable for our club. Please join us!!!" After Mikan saw the three of them, she ran quickly to avoid the crowd. As she ran, the crowd was pleased, but still they followed her. Mikan ran so fast, and then she got tired. The three groups got her cornered on three sides, so she hid behind a big rock. Then, the three groups continued looking for her, but they never found the hiding Mikan.
"I'm safe already." Mikan says to herself, giving a heavy sigh. Then she noticed; it was none other than Natsume Hyuuga, sleeping behind the rock. Mikan was surprised.
"Gee Natsume, why sleep at such place? Don't you get enough sleep for one night?" Mikan said to Natsume… She went closer to him as she gazed upon his beautiful face. She tried to kiss him on the cheek, but she saw Yujiro so she ran away.
The next day, the group was looking on the bulletin board. It seems like there had been a big buzz this morning. Mikan got curious, and so as her group of friends. Then, she saw – Mikan and Natsume together under a tree. She was shocked to see it. Then, she recalled.
"Oh no, about last night!" Mikan thought. Then, Natsume came out from nowhere. He saw the pictures and took it very fast. He gave the crowd a mad look, and then he ran away going to class. He went to the school's photographer, Kaoru Otsuka. Mikan followed to investigate. When Mikan entered the classroom, she already saw Natsume and Kaoru fighting about the pictures.
"Here are your pictures," Natsume said as he threw the crumpled paper at him.
"Natsume Hyuuga, why? Can't you accept the real you? Why, afraid to be humiliated, embarrassed?" Kaoru replied. Natsume punched Kaoru's face. Kaoru just laughed after.
"You're already humiliated Natsume even Mikan too." Kaoru said. This made Mikan angry. Her eyebrows were crossed, her short hair raised to show her grieves and she clenched her fist. She went closer to Kaoru, and punched him. After she punched Kaoru, she can feel the pain aching in her hand. She grew red after.
"Next time another picture like that appears this will be doubled." Mikan said. Then, she went outside. She was going to the clinic and then she remembered – the school doctor's onto her! As she was going, the school doctor went outside. Mikan had her mouth opened.
"Gee, you don't look so good Mikan," Doctor Mei Tian said, "Let me take a look and see." He was looking at her hand and he noticed that it was getting redder.
"Your hand doesn't look good. Let me treat it inside." Doctor Mei Tian said. Mikan just ran away after. She ran away just so she could avoid what she thinks. She went outside, walking and thinking about the pictures. Then, Ruka called out.
"Mikan," Ruka ran to Mikan, wanting to walk with her.
"Oh, hey Ruka," Mikan said. She continued to blow her hand to ease the pain.
"Hey, that punch didn't hurt, did it? Cause you know, the pictures really looked true." Ruka said. Then after, Mikan held Ruka's hand.
"Hey, it's not like you believed in those pictures, do you?" Mikan said as she continues to hold Ruka's hand. Then, Ruka felt a sparkly feeling about Mikan holding his hand. It's like his heart got a sparkle. Not so soon after, Ruka tried to let go. Mikan also let go and continued walking. Then while walking, they saw Natsume.
"Wow, Natsume picked a really cute girl." Ruka was surprised, while Mikan opened her mouth.
"What???!!!" Mikan thought. Then, she decided to go to the doctor the next day.
She entered to the door, as the doctor continued to read.
"Yes," he called.
"I'm kind of sick." Mikan replied.
After a long conversation…
"Look, I don't know why but please I need to know why haven't you told the principal about my identity?" Mikan asked.
"Because I feel the same way," Mei Tian went closer to Mikan and he whispered, "I am gay."
"You're gay?!" Mikan shouted.
"Yes," Mei Tian said.
"But, but, but, but," Mikan can only say this. Then, she had so many questions to ask. But Dr. Mei Tian tried to set her out already.
"You know, you will not like me when I take off my jacket." Dr. Mei Tian said as Mikan continues to walk back to the door.
"Look, I better go, it was nice talking to you… Ok, bye." Mikan was like in a hurry, but she went outside after…
