Chapter 7 – A Flashback

"I hope Ruka won't show me his umbilical cord." Mikan thought. She can still remember what happened.

FLASHBACK:

"Here, I'm giving you this." Ruka said as he pulled out his umbilical cord.

"Eew, what's that smell?" Mikan asked.

"You see, my mother gave me my umbilical cord," Ruka wasn't able to finish since Mikan ran away.

"Aaah, I am never going to eat soup for now!!!" Mikan shouted as she headed to her room.

"Don't you want it? It's very rare!" Ruka called.

END OF FLASHBACK

"And up to now I can still remember…" Mikan thought.

FLASHBACK AGAIN

Mikan was running from Ruka, afraid to see the umbilical cord.

"Mikan, don't run! I won't show it to you anymore!" Ruka called.

Mikan stopped, "You said so!" she said, "let me check your hand."

Ruka showed his hands, "See, nothing…"

"How about your pockets?" Mikan asked suspiciously. Ruka pulled out his pockets.

"See," Ruka said, "I know you're scared so I put in my room. I don't have the safe feeling anymore."

"Oh yeah Ruka, where's Natsume?" Mikan asked.

"I woke up this morning and haven't seen him yet." Ruka said as he was walking by, "I think he went to school early."

"Oh is that so? Yesterday I thought all night and I made my decision – That is, I must take on the school doctor. I can't let him announce that I'm a girl. If he did, I'll fail to fulfill my goal. Before I see Natsume high jump, I won't ever come back!" Mikan thought.

END OF FLASHBACK

"And there, the pictures occurred." Mikan said.

FLASHBACK:

Look Mikan, people around the bulletin board I think there's interesting news." Ruka said as he pulled Mikan.

"Look at that! Making conclusions with pictures. Rubbish," Yuu said.

"Wah, who put this up?" Mikan said, looking at the pictures. Mikan and Natsume were there. Natsume appeared from nowhere, took the pictures, and went away.

"Why was he mad? I didn't put up the pictures." Yuu said.

Mikan's POV

"Natsume was really mad. He went to Kaoru and said that he won't forgive him if another scandal happens. Kaoru on the other hand, treats it like it wasn't that important, but it was serious. Product shipment from America – he's fooling no one! He still believes that he is always right through his pictures. He's already jumping to conclusions! You know what he said; "Anyways, I am telling you guys. It's only changing your favor. Playing jerks like you is no big deal." But I punched him anyway on the face, and he fell down on the ground! That was a tough one Mikan! The punch hurt, and I was so afraid to go to the school doctor. I saw Natsume's face when I punched Kaoru. He was surprised, and I feel so proud! I warned Kaoru that my punch was only a warning. I also told him to not make any conclusions through pictures. Natsume's eyes widened!!! I'm so proud!!! Natsume said that he was a loser as I ran away going to the doctor forgetting that I was a girl. The doctor was outside all along.

"He said that I was stronger than he ever imagined. Why, treat us girls- oops I'm in an all boys' school. Plus, he called me little sister. He took my hand and said it was swollen. Of course it is, after the punch I gave to Kaoru. I was so afraid because he knew my secret. He says to keep my attitude up, and he'll treat me! Aah!!! Then he asked me why I was at Gakuen Alice all boys' school. He even winked at me! He walked away after. But he was so good in acting; I didn't notice that he was a gay.

"I was supposed to call Natsume but he went away already. Then, I was walking, saw Ruka running towards me. We were walking together and he said that the pictures were so true. I held his hand and said that it wasn't true. He paused for a while, and I think it's because of my grip. Then he shakes his hand to let go. As we were walking by, Ruka pointed on Natsume – with a GIRL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I ran after seeing the two talking. I don't know who that girl was, but she had green eyes, a slightly long, black hair, and she has curls. She looked like she had an Alice, but I saw Natsume's look – it feels like he has a crush on her. I don't know – I mean look at them!

"I went to Doctor Mei Tian after. I told him about my problem, and he answered every question. But I asked him why I haven't got a report that I am a girl in an all boys' school. Then he answered; he's gay. I was shocked to hear it, especially when he said that he will keep it a secret because he knows what I feel. He said that he will keep it until I fulfill my goal. Such a nice doctor, but he started to become mushy taking off his jacket as I backed off. He was so creepy, I thought he was gay and then he comes to me like he wanted to do something bad to me. But too bad for him, I made an excuse. But still, I have many problems facing ahead of me. Ruka and his umbilical cord, Natsume and that girl, Mei Tian and his gay attitude, me and my secret; it's all confusing. If only I had magic to poof them away. Wait, I have my Alice; I nullify other Alice.

"I love my alice. One is because it helped me in my goal. Second, it's useful and third in case anyone has an Alice to attack me, I can nullify it and defend myself. Oh well, I wonder what will I do next? What if Natsume tried to talk to that girl again? I know! I'll get Yujiro as my excuse. Yujiro, you're really useful yet cute!"

See you next time,

Mikan.
