PART TWO
CHAPTER ELEVEN
"Hi Sakura-san," a voice greeted the brunette from behind as she enters the room with her boyfriend.
"Oh, hi Koko," she greeted back with a small beam when Natsume suddenly pulled her.
"Sorry bro but class is almost starting. You should go to your seat too," the raven-haired with crimson eyes said. Koko just gave a sarcastic smile as he went outside. He was actually a bit early for a new student. Minutes later, their adviser Narumi came ambling towards the room. They settled to their respective seats.
"Good morning everyone, today, we have a new class mate –err! You have a new class mate. Please come inside," Narumi started as he pointed the door where a yellow-haired cool figure came. Girls squealed.
"Hello everyone, my name's Kokoroyomi Yome," he introduced with a smile. The class turned into a chaos. Girls were restless as boys were uneasy. Natsume just smirked. Mikan was fiddling with her pencil while boringly looking at him. Narumi let Koko be seated right next to Sumire and introduced her as his partner. As he went towards his new desk, he gave a quick glance at Luna, Youchi and Natsume before giving Mikan a smile. Natsume glared at him.
Narumi clapped his hands, gaining the students' attention. He cleared his throat before giving a very wide grin. Students sweat drop.
"Class, tonight will be the pre-opening of the Alice Festival. Of course, there'll be the first dance. You know already that if your partners in the first dance and last dance are the same, it means your love will bloom-" he couldn't finish his sentence.
"We get it alright" the students monotonously declared but inside, there was a hidden excitement.
"Okay, okay, so right now you should pick your partners already. Free day to all, bye" he waved before exiting the room. Gossips fill immediately. Natsume just sneered as Mikan obscurely turn her head around the classroom and found four including her partner intently looking at her and a girl glaring. She sweat drop. 'What is wrong with these guys?' she asked mentally before standing up and left the room.
She went to the Sakura tree. Surprisingly, Natsume followed behind her.
"What are you doing? You're following me?" she raised a brow, crossed her arms and sneered –her famous gesture of arrogance
"Oh, shut up. It's getting noisier every second inside the room. And besides, what's wrong with that? I'm your boyfriend" he stated. She just rolled her eyes.
Under the tree, the two lovebirds sat confidently and quietly. She gave a sigh. Natsume looked at her.
"Natsume, you want to dance with me tonight?" she asked emotionlessly but inside, she was stuttering and uneasy.
He simpered. "What? Did you just ask me out?" he asked. She immediately stood up.
"If you don't want, you could say so," she said before motioning to leave. Abruptly, he grabbed her arm, making her flip to his direction once again
"I didn't say I don't want to," he snake his hand from her elbows where he grabbed him towards her hands. He gripped it tightly. Unexpectedly, she didn't quiver nor object. Somewhere from afar, someone sigh and leave the other direction. 'Guess she already find a partner'
**To Be Continued**
