Previously… on BBP meets SPP…^^

"Don't join the Mr. And Ms. Freshmen Week." Ruka said, still looking away.

Did I hear it right?

Chapter 5.3: Freshmen Week ~

A Change of Mind…Or not… o_O

NATSUME'S POV…^^

"You're being weird, man." Natsume chuckled.

"I'm serious." Ruka looked at him. "I know that the reason you chose that girl was because you thought that she won't join, right?"

"You could pass as a mind reader, do you know that?" but Ruka was right. That was the reason why he agreed with Mochu and Koko's whim.

"Didn't it ever occur to you that Luna-chan just wanted you to fight for her that's why she joined? It's the only thing you lack. You don't fight for the things you want."

"…"

"If you want freedom, why not ask your grandfather for it. I'm sure he'll grant it to you. You're his one and only heir, blood relative… and family." Ruka said the word as if it has more meaning.

"His only family is his business. He doesn't see me as his grandson, he sees me as the heir to his empire. The heir who must be trained well, so that he can handle the company. Hah!" He emphasized the word 'grandson' as if it was some foreign language.

"Don't you think there must be one reason why he's doing all these?"

"What? Having bodyguards like Sakura outside the school to protect me? Not letting me choose what I want for myself?" Natsume kicked a rock. A rock on the rooftop, weird. "He wants to control my life, that's for sure."

"Anyway, back to the original problem. Are you going to join or not?" Ruka diverted their conversation. He wasn't used to seeing Natsume giving out so much emotion.

"I already said 'yes'. I can't back out. I maybe a jerk sometimes, but I'm still a gentleman. You've never seen me humiliate a girl in front of many people, and I won't start now." He said, still nonchalant. Typical, Natsume. Ruka thought. Back to the nonchalant thing. What if I give it a try? Heheheh…^^

"Okay. That was nice hearing it from you. Do you like her?" Ruka asked and looked away again.

"'Her' who?" Natsume asked confused. Whoa! He can be confused? I didn't know that. Heheheh…^^

"You know…Sakura-san?" Ruka said as he was playing with his fingers. Natsume laughed. "What's so funny?" Ruka blushed.

"You are!" He continued laughing. "Look at you, you're blushing. Guys don't blush. But let's make you an exemption." He coughed to stop himself from laughing. "I should be the one asking you that question. I didn't think you believe in love at first sight."

"It's not funny." Ruka said grimly and looked sharply at Natsume.

"Okay. Okay. You like her. That's fine with me." Natsume said as he raised his hands. "Let's go eat. I'm hungry." Natsume said as he stood up and lend a hand to Ruka.

"Hey you, two." Koko said. Here comes the two dimwits.

"Let's eat." Mochu said. "I told you, he likes her."

"Shut up." Ruka said and took Natsume's hand to stand up. "Thanks."

"Ruka…" Natsume said. "…don't do that nonchalant thing. It doesn't suit you."

"What?" Ruka asked innocently.

"You're doing it right now." Mochu stated.

Busted. Ruka thought.

"Ok. Fine. Let's go eat." Ruka just pushed the three to the exit.

MIKAN'S POV…^^

The cafeteria was unusually noisy today. If for the last few months the noise was inevitable, try going in now. Please put on your earplugs. People are crowding upon a table protected by body guards. Gossips, talks and mutters were heard all around. They were all talking about a certain rich, beautiful, stunning, brunette heiress who is now gracing the cafeteria. Now who could that be? I guess we all know who that brunette is. Let's zoom in.

"Okay, people. 45 minutes before the new pictures arrive. Please come again." Hotaru said through a megaphone. And guess what? She's back to her old business. "Money is so sweet." She said as dollar signs appeared in her eyes.

Money Hungry. Mikan thought and shook her head. "Sure it is, especially when one's privacy is being invaded. Give me the film." She tried to get the camera, but Hotaru hurriedly hid it into her genetically locked bag. You know, the one's when the bag needs the owner's handprint for it to open, courtesy of Hotaru's family company.

"Don't worry. You'll get 1% of the money." Hotaru said as if it was some compensation.

"No thanks." Mikan smiled dryly.

"Okay. It's your loss. More for me, I guess." She just shrugged.

"Can't we go outside the campus?" Mikan said irritably.

"Why?" Anna asked.

"I want a quiet place to eat." Mikan said.

"Why don' we go to the special place your uncle offered you last time?" Nonoko suggested. Nonoko was talking about this high-tech green house. It was full of beautiful flowers of different species. The roof can be convertible like that one of a car, it has a pool by the middle part, but it can be covered and used as a court. There is also a bar by the corner where they can get drinks and food, all these, courtesy of the Imai Tech. Group of Companies.

"Oh, right. I forgot about that. I hope it's still available."

"Sure. You're his niece and goddaughter." Hotaru said.

"Let's go. I want to be out of here, now."

"Let's just get the food there." Anna added.

So, they made their way through the thick crowd. And when I say thick, I really mean it. It was like a concert thick crowd.

"Hotaru-sama, what about the pictures?" a guy from the 3rd year asked as he was trying to get past the guards.

"Don't worry. There'll be more soon." Hotaru said and continued to walk. "Hah!" she sighed in delight. "My business is doing great."

"At least thank us, Hotaru." Mikan commented.

"Yeah." Anna said.

"That's right." Nonoko said.

"Okay. Thanks for making my business grow." Hotaru said and smiled sweetly at them, but vanished in 3 seconds.

They have arrived at the greenhouse Mikan's Uncle talked about. There was laughter around the greenhouse, so the four of them hurriedly entered.

When they entered they saw a certain group of guys together with a girl. The four boys from their class were there. But who was the girl?

Facial Expressions….^^

Anna: ^^', (Sweat-drop) This is not good.

Nonoko: _ What the F#$%!

Hotaru: (-_- ) ( -_-) (-_- ) ( -_-) This is getting interesting by the minute.

Mikan: ¬_¬ Tss.*sigh. My day can't get any worse.

The girl with the four boys seemed to have sensed their presence. She smiled and waved at them. Are we close? Mikan thought.

The girl stood up. "Hello."

The four boys looked at them and all were shocked except for one guy.

Ruka, Mochu, and Koko: O_O

Natsume: ¬_¬ Tch. It's her again.

Luna: ^_^ Who could they be? ^^

The four of them walked towards the table.

Koko and Mochu snapped out of their shock. "Hello, girls." The two chorused.

"Hey." Anna smiled at them.

She's cute. Koko thought. Koko stood up and offered a hand. "Hello. Do you know you've shed some more light in this very sunny morning with that smile?" Koko smiled his girl-melting smile again.

"Heheh." Nonoko chuckled dryly. "Don't touch him. He has "Playboy" written all over his face." She whispered to Anna, but was still made it audible to practically everyone, except for two people –Natsume and Mikan, who was having a staring contest.

"I heard that." Koko said.

"Good." Nonoko said. "I intended to."

"I'm not a playboy. Girls just can't resist me. It's not my fault."

"I can't believe girls fall for your cheap pick-up lines."

"I can't believe guys even have interest in you."

"I can't believe guys like you exist."

"If guys like me don't exist, many girls in the world wouldn't experience being loved by someone."

"Well, it's better than getting their hearts broken."

"Okay. Enough." Mochu stopped the heated conversation. "Man, chill, she's a girl."

"She's no girl." Koko argued.

"Think you can call yourself a gentleman. Dream on." Nonoko punched him in the face.

"What the f$&%!" Koko said as he held his beautifully structured nose that is now bleeding. "Do you still consider her as a girl?"

"Nonoko, get a hold of yourself." Anna tugged at Nonoko's arm.

"You want some more du%bss?" Nonoko was insatiable. Now Hotaru and Anna are holding her.

"That's enough Nonoko." Mikan said. "The place is already taken, let's go." Mikan started to walk.

"Wait!" Someone took hold of Mikan's hand. It was the girl. "It's pretty roomy in here, why don't you join us?" She smiled sweetly at her.

"Excuse me, who are you again to touch me?" Mikan said.

"Sorry." Luna let her go and bowed her head. "My name is Luna Koizumi. It's nice to meet you."

"What is wrong with you? She's offering you to stay. Don't be rude." Natsume said out of the blue.

"I'm sorry. I didn't mean to insult your girlfriend." Mikan apologized sarcastically.

"I'm not his girlfriend." Luna corrected.

"Mikan, what choice do you have? It's either we stay here and eat peacefully or eat at the cafeteria without any privacy." Hotaru said.

"Well, we can go out of the sch–" Mikan was cut-off with an announcement by the speakers.

"No students, especially freshmen, shall be allowed to leave the campus premises not unless it is dismissal time or an emergency. Students must use the time allotted to prepare for the Freshmen Week. No exemptions. Thank you. Yours truly, the Principal."

"What the–" Mikan was speechless. Mikan looked up and saw a CCTV cam. I knew it!

"Enough of this drama, I'm hungry." Hotaru went to the bar. "Anyone want to join?" The three of them followed.

[a/n: Three referring to Anna, Nonoko and Mikan.]

Hotaru ordered for some crabs and pineapple juice. Anna ordered for spaghetti and coke. Nonoko ordered for hamburger and Pepsi. Mikan ordered for salad and a quarter-cup cheese and tea.

"Here she goes again." Hotaru said as they sat down in a table near the pool.

"Mikan you do know you're lactose intolerant." Anna said.

"It's not milk." She explained.

"But that cheese is made of milk." Nonoko commented.

"…" Mikan just started eating. Her three friends just shook their heads in dismay. They can't stop her when she's irritated. Cheese was like her ice cream when she's mad.

NATSUME'S POV…

So the four of them went downstairs and the three of them almost tripped down the stairs, with the help of Ruka. On their way, they bumped into Luna and asked her to join them.

"Luna-chan, would you like to eat with us?" Koko asked.

"Sure. Let's go." She hooked her arms in one of Koko's and Mochu's elbow and walked. Natsume and Ruka were left behind.

"Let's go." Natsume knew Ruka was about to say something again. "I'm hungry."

"I didn't know you were such a pig, Natsume." Ruka chuckled as Natsume messed up his hair. "Stop it."

A few more minutes and they ended up at the hi-tech greenhouse that the principal offered to them for privacy. The principal said that it was supposedly for his niece, but he's waiting for her to come around.

"This place is beautiful." Luna exclaimed and looked around.

"Explore later. Let's eat, I'm hungry." Natsume said as he walked to the bar and ordered some salad and drinks.

Luna was behind him and ordered pasta, burger and fries. The other three boys ordered burger and fries.

"I didn't think you pig out at times." Natsume commented at Luna's food. "It's not fast food you know."

"Why do you care? I'm tired of eating non-fat foods at home, anyway. At least here, I can eat whatever I want." Luna said as she chewed down on her burger then ate some pasta.

"Look at her." Koko pointed at Luna. "She looks like a kid." They all laughed.

"Stop it." Luna said and blushed. "So now, because you three are all grown up now, you're teasing me."

Luna noticed four girls entering the greenhouse. She smiled and waved at them. Luna stood up. "Hello."

Now the 9 of them are eating peacefully. Or so, they think.

"I am so gonna get my revenge on that girl." Koko continuously muttered under his breath while munching on his burger. "I need to visit a cosmetic surgeon."

"Calm down, man. She didn't hit you that hard, right?" Mochu said.

"What do you mean, didn't hit me that hard? Look at my nose." Koko said as he pointed to his nose.

"It's not that bad. Here." Luna said as she handed an ice pack to Koko. "This should help with the bleeding."

"Thanks."

"What is with you guys anyway? Do you know those girls?" Luna asked curiously.

"Sort of." Ruka answered. "They're our classmates."

"So, why did Koko do all the 'Hello, are you my soul mate' thing, if you are classmates?" Luna asked, confused.

"The four of us don't usually talk to the girls at out class, especially to her." Mochu said as he motioned the auburn haired girl.

"Why? She's pretty, beautiful in fact. Why not talk to her?"

Then Ruka and Mochu patiently told Luna the whole thing about how Mikan disguised herself as a nerd and not telling everyone who she was, except for her three friends.

"So, now that you know who she is, why not charm her now that her cover was blown?"

"With what that Ogasawara just did, I don't want to mess with Sakura." Koko said as he raised his two hands up, as if giving up.

"How about you, Mochu?"

"No thanks. I already have my eyes on someone. If it's Sakura you are talking about, why not ask Ruka? He likes her." Mochu said as he elbowed Ruka.

"What are you talking about?" Ruka said as he blushed and looked down, and then continued on eating his burger.

"Aawww. Kawaii. That's so nice, Ruka." Luna said as she pinched Ruka's cheeks. "At least, you don't just try to get a girl off her pants, just for fun."

"Are you talking about me?" Natsume asked grimly.

"I didn't say anything about you." Luna said innocently. "I guess conscience really kicks in fast." She chuckled.

"Why you–" Natsume was cut-off when a group of girls entered the green house followed by the guards.

"Ma'am, we're telling you, this place is private. You cannot enter here." One of the guards said.

"I'm a student here, so I can enter any place I want." It was Sumire.

What is she doing here? Natsume asked himself.

Who is she? Luna thought to herself.

Not again. The three boys thought.

"Where is Mikan Sakura?" Sumire said and raised a brow as she eyed the greenhouse. She found who she was looking for. "So, there you are. You little witch." Sumire walked to the table of the four girls and crossed her arms.

MIKAN'S POV…

What is she doing here? Mikan asked herself as Sumire walked to their table.

"What do you want?" Mikan asked Sumire as she continued on eating her salad.

"I just wanted to tell you to back out on the Mr. & Ms. Freshmen Week competition, or else…" She stopped at the last word.

"Or else what, Permy?" Mikan asked, still eating.

"Or else I'm going to have to complaint about the unfairness of the choosing of candidates."

"You don't need to. I never planned on joining anyway." Mikan said nonchalantly and stood up. "In fact, you could personally go over to Hyuuga and tell him about it." Then she made her way for the exit as she was followed by her three friends.

"Why did you do that?" Anna asked.

"You heard my reason, I never wanted to join."

"B-A-K-A. You're already enlisted as the class representative; Narumi-sensei will cry all over you just to beg you." Hotaru said as steadied her camera and took pictures of the four heartthrobs.

"At least the germs of those boys will not touch Mikan." Nonoko suggested.

"That's right." Mikan agreed.

"Forgive me for ruining your moment of happiness. But I won't let you stand me up as your revenge." A low voice said by Mikan's ear. She stepped back as she turned around.

"Now why would I do that, Hyuuga?" Mikan said sarcastically. "Don't assume on things. Besides, it'll be a great deal for you. She will have fewer competitors." She turned away and headed for the exit.

"Don't you think you're thinking too highly of yourself?" Natsume said sarcastically.

Mikan looked back at him. "Think what you want Hyuuga. Think of it this way. She won't have to date with any stranger."

"You really are thinking too highly of yourself, Sakura." Natsume smirked.

"What do you want, Hyuuga?" Mikan was about to lose his cool. Why can't he just let this thing go?

"Join the competition." Natsume challenged.

Mikan raised a brow. "You've got to be kidding me." Mikan shook her head. "I don't have time for this.

"Fine. So the famous Mikan Sakura is afraid that she will lose?" Natsume said innocently, he's at it again.

"I'm not afraid." She gust out some air. "Who's afraid to join this petty competition?"

"If you're not afraid, then why don't you join?" Natsume said and grinned some more. It was no longer a grin, he was smiling. I've got you now.

"Fine. I'll join this stupid competition. Happy?" Mikan smiled cynically and went out.

"Mikan, what was that all about?" Nonoko asked curiously.

"I'll show him. He's going to be sorry he has challenged me. Too bad he has to lose that date with his girlfriend." She said and never heard what Nonoko asked.

"Mikan…" Anna called out to Mikan.

"I'm going to win that competition hands down, even if it was Luna Ko-ko…"

"Koizumi." Hotaru finished.

"Right."

"Thanks for having that conversation with Hyuuga earlier, Mikan. Look at this great shot." Hotaru showed Mikan a picture of him and Natsume. Mikan had a sarcastic look on her face while Natsume was grinning at her. "This will look good for your poster during the contest." Hotaru ran.

"Give me that." Mikan chased after her.

Anna and Nonoko just shook their heads and laughed. "I think I have a great idea for the caption for that picture." Anna said and continued laughing.

"What?" Nonoko asked.

"It should be 'Bratty Princess Meets Playboy Prince'." They laughed harder.

Next on…BOYISH BRATTY PRINCESS MEETS SNOBBISH PLAYBOY PRINCE…^^

Wait! I know her, its- "Sakura." He said. He shook her slightly, she didn't move one bit. She was petite, and had all the curves in the right places. She has beautiful eye lashes and perfectly shaved eye brows, which looked natural. The part that got her attention was her lips; it was pinkish and looked untouched by any beauty product except for lip gloss and by any other man's lips. Her face was a little sweaty, but it didn't scar her beauty. Beauty? Get a hold of yourself, Natsume. He castigated himself for assessing this beautiful woman in his arms.

What's happening with these two? It's not x-rated, is it? Hmmm..? Just read and find out..^^
