Sometimes love comes around
And they knock you down

So why mom planned Yuuto to be jealous?
It's because he doesn't like me and she desires him to like me.
My mother is Yuka Sakura. Thirty-two years ago, she was born in Yokaido. People always thought that we are sisters since we are too alike and she's too young for her age. There's a scenario where she went to US for my father works there and she badly need his touch. I was left in my grandfather's care and it was more than a week before she went home to fetch me. Back then, I was just a four year old girl who had nothing to hide as I stared my big hazel orbs to the beautiful woman beside her. Blonde hair, Green eyes, tanned skin, tall, skinny. Incredibly, pretty that I jumped to hug her tight with my small fist.
"Aww," She awed as she cupped my small figure, "is she the girl? She's so cute, Yuka!" Her soft yet small voice was like music in my ears.
"Told 'ya. They're a perfect match." My mom crossed her arms on her chest as I looked at them with my innocent eyes.
"Look at those eyes!" The beautiful lady cheeped and kissed my cheek making me close my eyes. She hugged me tightly before bringing me down. "I can't wait for the future. Glad that I got to see you again, best."
"I know. The feeling is mutual and Yuuto is awfully handsome too. " My mom said as they both smiled at me without knowing any word of what they're saying.
Only to know that they freaking agreed to engage me to Yuuto.
I really regret hugging Yuuto's mom thinking she is the most beautiful woman that I'll ever meet.

My head hurts and I could hurl right now and then. I opened my eyes slowly but the light stopped me to do so making me blocked it with my arm and tried to open my eyes again. This time, I saw a figure sitting beside me and another one standing by the wall.
"Ugh…" I groaned, gaining their attention. At a snail's pace, I straighten my back in a sitting position.
"You're awake." the one beside me muttered. I scoffed. It ain't a question.
"Yeah. I am awake." I flashed a smile but it ended in a frown. "You…"
He smirked at me, "Have you decided?"
"What do you think, Mr. Hyuuga?" I rolled my eyes and pushed him away from me. He quirked his lips up and stood up, putting his hands in his pocket as he walked out of the room.
"Well, I'll go tell the others that you're good." I spun my head in front. "They're worried so it'll be very good news to know that you're fine now."
"Yuuto," I bit my lip and put down my head. "In the library, please understand what happened. It's just one of Natsume's Pranks."
"Natsume? So you're calling him by his name." He giggled as he walked over to me, putting his big hand on my head and pulled it up. "Mikan…it's alright. We're good and I don't need your explanation."
"Un," I nodded while he smiled at me and pushed his lips to my forehead.
"Besides, I don't even like you so it's really nothing." He eased down his hand, turning his heels out of the room. It made me utterly speechless as I watched him leave the room. As soon as he got out of my sight, I coughed out a laugh and tried to stop my tears from going down.
It's not that I like Yuuto but it's just that I thought he'll somehow have the heart to mind what happened. My heart feels bitter because I was hoping for something that is impossible to happen. I guess it is really wrong to expect first before it happens.

"You're fine now. What made your head ache is the sudden flow of the things happening in your life. Tiring yourself out will only make it worst so go home and take a rest for today. I told your teacher that you have to skip classes today." Our school doctor, Ms. Kimitsu, said and flashed her genuine smile at me.
"I understand," I, too, gave her my smile and an affirmative nod. Then, I went out of the infirmary room only to be welcomed by my dorm mates. "Hey, guys."
"Yo! How's our princess?" Mochu greeted and hanged his arm on my shoulder. I grinned at them with my eyebrow raised up.
"I just got a bad news," they all looked at me in curiosity, "you guys have to bring me home and serve me."
"You are kidding." Kitsuneme pulled his hands up and shook it with his head, "I'll go back to my hometown if that's a fact."
"Oh. No you can't, my dear." I let out a snigger while he puckered brow. "Well, the bring me home is a fact but the serve one is discretionary."
"Naah. Let's go now, missy." Koko pulled my head to his shoulder as we walked away with others tailing behind. The students watched us walk which made me embarrassed. I mean, these guys are the prince and yet they're with a girl who's just a mere owner's daughter of their dorm. I let out a pout and tried to free myself from him.
"I can't walk perfectly, you know? Students are staring." I made an effort to look up at him but the way he held my head is making it pointed downward—know that? Whatever.
"I don't really care," He shrugged his shoulders as I gritted my teeth in annoyance.
"I anticipated your answer." He guffawed but still never let go of my head, much to my dismay.
All of a sudden, we halted. I was confused why the hell we stopped so I looked upfront. I saw high-heeled black shoes and very white legs. I blinked my eyes a lot while Koko finally—finally—freed my head.
"Hey, Mik—"
"Ho…Hotaruuuu!!!!" I cried and leaped over to hug her. But she immediately moved to her left, making my face fall on the floor flatly. I looked at her with teary eyes. "Hotaru…"
"You are perfectly fine as what Hyuuga said." She scorned and offered me a hand. I accepted it wholeheartedly, standing up from my fall. I pulled my lips to a smile and knocked my chest with my closed fist.
"After all, I'm still Mikan Sakura." And with that, it caused them to laugh at us.
"You seriously need to talk to me, Hyuuga." Hotaru looked at Natsume's direction. He did nothing but raised brows and licked his lips as he turned to me pulling his tongue out.
I pulled my tongue out too and cuddled my arms to Hotaru's. "You need to talk to my best friend, pervert."
"Whatever, flirt."
"Wha—what?!"

I closed my eyes, letting the breeze touch my bare skin. My long auburn hair swayed together in the air as I brought some strands of my hair behind my ear. It felt so good as if I was flying. Disturbance came when I heard scratches and footsteps in back.
"Mikan?" I spun my head to my back and saw no one but Koko.
I groaned, "Did you know that my neck is in pain right now because you held it for more than a minute?"
He chuckled. "I'm sorry about that."
Silence engulfed between us. I waited for his purpose of entering my room but he was mute. Standing here on my veranda, I walked into my room. Maybe if I'm here inside of my room, he'll be able to talk. But much to my chagrin, he did nothing.
"Come on, Koko. You gotta say something." My hands were place on my sides as I tilted my head to my right.
"Mikan, this is making me nervous." He massaged his temples while I stared at him in confusion. Tint of red came rushing on his cheeks and I found it amusing.
"Why are you nervous about…standing there and saying nothing?" I said, half-laughing.
"You don't understand, I…" His words left unfinished. He ran his fingers to his hair while I raised an eyebrow at him. I tapped my foot and crossed my arms over my chest as I playfully pouched my lips.
"Koko, I don't own the time."
"Mikan, I…"
"Wha—?"
"I don't want Natsume to be your boy."
I was taken aback at what Koko said. Usually, he doesn't meddle in my things so this made me shocked. I pulled my lips in and sighed. This is really not good for my head if whatever I'm thinking will happen.
"Can you explain why?" My face is painted with worry as he walked to my bed and took a sit on it. I did the same and placed my hand on his shoulder. "Koko…"
"I actually…love you, Mikan." I exhaled a big amount of air. Just like what I thought.
"Wa-Why?" He covered his forehead with his hands placing it on his knees.
"Do you really have to ask why?" His orbs looked at mine which made me flinch. I scratched my head and sweat dropped.
"You know, I don't really understand this love thing." I moped. "You, of all the people, know that." He nodded at me while I annoyingly pouted. "Then why do you have to let yourself fall to me?"
"There's nothing we could do," I disbelievingly looked at him as he immediately shot his head to me and dropped a sweat. "I—I can't do anything about it. My heart has its own brain, you know?"
I rolled my eyes, "Whatever, Koko. But why now?"
"Why now—what?" He curled his brows as I smirked.
"I mean, why did you confess to me just now?"
"Well, remember the rule number three and four?"
"Right." I sighed in exasperation. I should have made a distance to my dorm mates. I trusted them too much. This doesn't make any sense at all. I mean, maybe Hyuuga is—no! Hyuuga is absolutely playing around. But Koko? I know Koko well and I can tell how serious he is right now. I stared at Koko's eyes intently and gulped my saliva down. "Koko, we can't…it really sucks but we can't—"
"Just think about it first, Mikan. If you will turn me down right now, you don't know how much it'll hurt me so please. I'm begging you here, girl. I love you. I really fucking do love you and I want you to think about my feelings even just for tonight." Koko hurriedly stood up and left the room leaving my oh-so-big mouth dropped on the floor.

I was staring blankly on the mid-air when suddenly; two knocks were heard behind my door. It startled me but was able to move onto my door to open it.
"Guess what," The husky voice tickled my ears. "We're going on a date and your clothes look hot on you." I laughed at his statement and rolled my eyes playfully.
I was just wearing a white tube with jacket on top and a denim skirt that's just above my knees. I wore high white socks that are few inches down to my knees. My hair is messily pony-tailed with dangling earrings hanging on my ears. Bangles are around my left wrist leaving me in a perfectly cute girl.
"Really, Natsume—" He cut me off by dragging me away from my room which caused me to stumble. "H-hey! Where are you taking me?"
"Why did you dress up?" He asked me out of nowhere. We are now outside the dorm and in front of his red Ferrari Køyreskular sports car.
"I want to go to the park to think about…something." I said making it sound as believing as it is. I really need to think about Koko's confession and I had a thought of dressing up.
"Get in, chick." I looked down and saw Natsume who's already inside his car. I opened the door and entered his car, putting the seat belt as the car went away in an incredible speed.
After some time, we both came in the restaurant and were welcomed by the beautiful waitresses. I gawked at the scene. This restaurant is the most fabulous I've ever seen. It's sparkling everywhere and I know that people who eats here is freaking full of yen.
"What the hell?" Natsume scoffed at me as I continued to ogle my surroundings till we took out sits.
"We are actually here to hear your answer." I got choked by my own saliva and poked my chest really hard. I actually forgot about Natsume!
"What? Uh, you know Yuuto is my fiancé." Natsume smirked at me as he pulled my chin towards his. My face was barely five-inches away from him and I think we're just exchanging breaths.
"It's fine right?" I looked at his eyes in confusion, "The jerk is your fiancé while I'm your boyfriend." I pushed him away, blushing madly.
"Are you out of your mind?! What makes you think I'll agree to that?" I was madly furious at him right now. I can't believe him. He is not thinking straight—well, maybe he is but it is just for his damn self. I know that he's just pla—
"Because you can have benefits." I suddenly stopped my tracks. Somehow, he caught my interest.
"What kind of benefits?" I narrowed my butterscotch eyes at him.
"The two of us will definitely win in this deal. I know that your mother planned Yuuto to be jealous because the punk doesn't even want you. But he isn't really jealous. In fact, he doesn't care. So if you are willing to be my girl, we'll figure how to make him fall over heels to you. While I can certainly make the gaga girls jerk out of my life." He pointed his elbow to the table and reached out for my hair as he took whiffed on it. His crimson eyes looked lustfully at me and made shiver ran down to my spine.
We both stared at each other for awhile. The song Knock me Down played continuously at the restaurant but neither of us looked away. He licked his lips while I clicked my tongue. This feels like a scene in shoujo mangas' where both party are enjoying each other's company.
"Deal?" He asked.
"D-deal." I answered in shilly-shallying.
Oh I hope this works. Cause if it won't, it'll be bye-bye lalaLand.
