Chapter 2:
RECAP:
When I did, the first thing I saw were crimson eyes staring into my hazel eyes. I'm sure Tsubasa saw this and grabbed my hand. I looked at him, and we both smiled which at the same time made me blush. I wonder if at that time he became jealous. I wish. Well, after that we get back to what we were doing before.
Our attention was caught again when a certain crimson-eyed boy started talking.
"I want to sit beside that brunette."
"I want to sit beside that brunette."
"Wha-" I tried to say.
"You can't." Tsubasa said. I then looked at him with a blush on my face. He just smiled at me but stopped when we felt the others stare and a certain crimson-eyed boy glared at Tsubasa.
Tsubasa returned the boy's glare. Then at a second, it was like a battle of red vs. red. There was just silence until Mr. Narumi started talking.
"Well, I guess Natsume can sit beside Mikan. You could take that sit on the left. Well, it's not a problem anymore, right Tsubasa-kun? You'll still sit on the right side of Mikan!" Mr. Narumi said cutely which made us sweat drop.
Tsubasa just made a long sigh then immediately answered, "I guess, it's alright. I'll still be with Mikan." With that statement, I found myself as red as a tomato but I regained my composure when Mr. Narumi asked me.
"How about you Mikan, is it all right?"
"Yes, Mr. Narumi." I answered smiling.
"Well, then Ruka will sit beside Hotaru, Yuu will be beside Anna, Kitsuneme beside Nonoko and Koko will take the seat beside Sumire. I guess it will be easy for the new students to sit beside the student council members so just ask them what you'd like to ask all right." Mr. Narumi continued.
"Okay, free period everyone!"
With that, Mr. Narumi dashed out the classroom and everyone started chatting. The new students quickly went to their seats and I saw Natsume staring at me. Crimson meets Hazel and then a thought struck me. Those crimson eyes seem so familiar.
Without me knowing, Natsume Hyuuga caught me also staring at him and went beside me until I could feel his breath against my ears.
"In love with me, are you?" He whispered.
With that, I went back to reality and answered mockingly, "You wish."
He just smirked and sat on his seat. After that I went back to reading my history book but was suddenly reminded about Student Council work. I quickly stood up and gave Hotaru and Tsubasa a sign that we need to go. They just nodded.
When we were almost at the door, Anna, Nonoko, and Sumire who was busy talking to their new seatmates (specifically Yuu, Kitsuneme and Koko) awhile ago came to us.
"Where are you going?" Anna asked.
"Oh gosh, don't tell me you're going to skip classes are you?" Sumire added.
We just laughed at Sumire's reaction.
"Baka, we're just going to finish some Student Council work." Tsubasa answered between his laughs and Sumire just pouted.
"Then, can we help. We're members too you know." Nonoko interrupted.
"No need, I'm sure we could do it and in fact, we could see that you still have a lot of things to talk with your new seatmates." I said in a matter-of-factly-tone.
We all saw the three girls blush and they just nodded and went back to their seats.
As the three of us went out, Tsubasa and I released a soft chuckle and Hotaru had a grin on her face.
"What's wrong Hotaru?" I asked.
"More money for me, thanks to Anna, Nonoko, and Sumire." Hotaru answered which made Tsubasa and I gulped in horror.
When we arrived at the student council room, we saw a lot of papers messed up on the floor. At that moment, I really regret what I said to the three other student council members. We should have asked them for their help. This is going to be a long work.
Hotaru went to her desk and started calculating and dividing the budget that we have for the different school activities while Tsubasa also started studying the request of the students if ever they can be accepted.
I, on the other hand, started looking through the files on my laptop then stopped at the files of the new students that were sent to me today. I just found myself reading it again.

"Wha-" I stuttered.
"I never knew there would also be a girl who will be transferring but why isn't she at the class awhile ago?" I said to no one in particular bit it seems that Tsubasa and Hotaru heard.
"Who's not awhile ago, Mikan?" Hotaru asked.
"Oh guys, did you know that there would also be a girl student who will be transferring?
"No," they both said.
"Well, there should one awhile ago but she isn't there." I said.
"Maybe, she's sick. It is said here that her health is not good." Tsubasa said while reading the file.
"Yeah, maybe she is."
Ring…..ring…ring…ring
"I'll get it!" I said or more like shouted.
Mikan
Phone caller
"Yes?"
"Oh, Mikan, did you get the file?"
"Yes, principal. But isn't there supposed to be a girl that will be transferring?"
"Yes, but unfortunately she can't come until next month because of her health."
"Okay principal, is that all?"
"Yes, bye and greet me to Hotaru and Tsubasa."
"Okay, bye too."
"Is it the principal?" Tsubasa asked.
"Yes and he said hi to you two."
Both of them only nodded and we just got back from work. But, before that Hotaru asked, "You know Mikan, You and that girl look alike and you have the same hair and eye color."
I just smiled at Hotaru.
We did finished our work at exactly 6 pm. We returned home and ate dinner on Tsubasa's house. We then waved goodbye to each other when we saw how late it already was.
Today, was really, really a long day. I quickly changed my clothes and went off to bed. But there are questions that are still in my mind.
"Who is that girl?"
"She really does look like me."
"Why were Hyuuga's eyes so familiar?"
I kept thinking about these questions that made no sense until I drifted off to sleep. A sleep with a dream I'll never forget.
