Whoa this chapter is quite long! Hope everyone enjoys it! :D Sorry for the long update!

I had a strange dream the night of March 3, 2014.

I dreamt that I was at an amusement park with Natsume and a many other people.

I don't remember anything but the part that me and Natsume were talking and then suddenly he hugged me.

It was so real and warm.

He was holding me really tight.

It felt so real and when I woke up I think I might have been blushing.

I still remember waking to the feeling of my heart pounding very fast and his warmth still enveloped me.

I got into a fight with Sumire because all she cares about are boys. As long as there're boys then I don't exist at all.

She says that I'm the one who isn't trying to get included.

I rolled my eyes at this comment.

The truth is that I always scream her name over and over right next to her ear and yet all she does is continue laughing and talking with Natsume or flirt with Kitsume and Mochu.

She shouldn't flirt with other boys anymore since Kitsume already asked her to be his girlfriend on Friday, in the Spring/Winter Olympics dance.

She even said yes to him.

She also knows I like Natsume and she still just talks to him right in my face.

I mean, they can still be friends and all but really, flirting and ignoring me in my face? Isn't that a little harsh?

She kept Skyping me but I completely ignored her.

Natsume invited me and 19 other people (including Sumire of course. I have a feeling he likes her or something. He doesn't ship Sumire + Kitsume) to a paintball party on sunday.

I was selfishly hoping Sumire wasn't going, but she is and I was disappointed because once she goes then all people will automatically get attracted to her and I would be just standing there like 'I didn't come with these people.'

I'm not really looking forward to this party anymore...

Let's see how it turns out.

I had another weird dream on March 7, 2014.

I dreamt that I was trying to touch Natsume's hair. (I know it's weird, please don't judge. It's only a weird dream)

He stopped my hand before it could touch his hair but he kept holding me and we started walking hand in hand.

"Oh, your friends are there." He stated after a while and then he let go of my hand.

I ran to Sumire who grinned at me and started congratulating me.

Tomorrow is the paintball 'party' thing and I really hope something like that will happen and nothing bad will happen.

March 9, 2014 was the paintball 'party' or really, anything you want to call it.

It was pretty fun, minus the pain, of course.

I was on Natsume's team (who, by the way, was the one who made the teams) and Naoko, Jennifer, Marcus, Lloyd, Thai, Ines and Luca.

In Simon's team was Sachiko, Sumire, Cyrus, Kitsume, Halldor, Savannah, Ruka, Maxwell and Mochu.

On the bus to where the paintball place was, (it was quite far from Natsume's house) we played truth or dare.

Everyone went around and people were daring each other to 'lick the window' or 'kiss your best friend on the lips since you guys do that to get Instagram followers anyway' and telling a guy 'to hump that other boy.'

Everyone went around and then when it was Savanah's turn, everyone knew Ruka likes Savanah and vise versa.

Savanah chose truth.

"Ok! The ultimate question. Do you likeeeeeeee~" He clasped his hands together and raised it over his head, reading to strike the air.

"Rrrrrrrr–" He prolonged the letter teasingly and everyone laughed.

"Raspberry milkshake?" He asked, bringing his hands down quickly.

The whole bus started laughing.

Savanah's answered with a 'yes,' taking a breath of relief.

When it was Ruka's turn, he also chose truth.

Simon clasped his hands together and brought it over his head again.

"Do you like Ssssssssss—' Bringing his hands down again he finally asked the question.

"Strawberry milkshake?" Ruka and everyone else were laughing and Ruka answered 'maybe,' still laughing.

When we were finally there, the mask that we had to wear was really uncomfortable and I nearly suffocated inside it.

We had to wait to see where we had to go and then I picked up a Timothy-grass kind of plant and brushed it on people's faces, startling them.

I brushed it on Natsume's face later, then he glared at me playfully but then Ines went to ask him something so he couldn't do anything to me.

I laughed in victory.

When we walked over the the place where the paintball arenas were, there was a cool tunnel like bridge where we had to go through.

Around the bridge were trees with their trunks curled around each other that grow next to and over it.

I couldn't help but touch it and take a picture.

"Dude, just stop touching it." Natsume scolded lightly when he caught me touching the trees.

"I can't help it!" I laughed.

At the beginning, the people that worked there asked us if we wanted to eat lunch first or play first.

It was 12 something so everyone was hungry.

"We'll eat first." Natsume said.

Kaoru, Natsume's mom, is very pretty and her hair is dyed in so many different colors. There was blue, red, orange and maybe a mix of some other colors.

It was quite cool.

I wasn't really hungry though so I only ate 2 bites out of my pizza (which his mom brought) and drank my sprite instead. (Which his mom also brought.)

At first I took coke, 'cause I thought there was only coke, but then Natsume raised his voice saying, "OK WHO WANTS SPRITE?"

Me, Sumire and Sachiko all screamed "ME!"

Kitsume gave a sprite to Sachiko, since he didn't know Sumire wanted it too.

Later Natsume gave Sumire one.

"Oh, Mikan also wants one." Sumire told him.

Then I think it was Luca or someone and Natsume both put down a Sprite and then they looked at each other and then both lifted the Sprite up.

I was laughing and Natsume just put a sprite down.

I thanked him happily. I think I started blushing.

When we were all finished eating, Kaoru told us to split into teams.

Kaoru got messed up with the total of people and said that a person from my team (team 1) has to go over to the other team (team 2).

Natsume just pushed me a little.

"Mikan will go." He told his mom.

"Wait, what?" Kaoru muttered confusedly.

Natsume dragged me back by holding my bag.

"Ok can you come to team 2?" Kaoru asked, pointing to Sumire but Sumire didn't want to leave Kitsume.

Me and Jennifer walked over to Kaoru.

"No, it's ok. There's nine-nine on each team. The total people is 18." Then Kaoru laughed.

"Oh yeah, your right. I thought there was only 16 people."

While we were changing, I took off my hoodie and put it on the table.

Kaoru asked who the hoodie belongs to.

I went up to her and said, 'mine' many times but it seems that she couldn't hear me at all.

Natsume walked past me

"Mikan. It's Mikan's." He told her.

We then talked about the strategy we would use.

Me, Luca, Marcus and Lloyd were on defense. Natsume, Ines, Thai, Naoko and Jennifer were on offense. Thai was partners with Naoko and Jennifer was partners with Ines.

Natsume was solo.

"Wait, who else wants to be offense?" Thai asked.

"Mikan will go." Marcus said.

"Ok. Mikan, you wanna be partners with Natsume?" Thai asked me.

I just looked at her dumbly and I was like muttered 'uh...'

"Nah, it's ok." Natsume waved her off.

"Ok, then you'll just be solo." Thai said.

"Ok we can just have 3 defense. Mikan, you're gonna get the most important job." The way Thai said it made me laugh hard.

"DUDE LOOK AT ME." Thai yelled.

Naoko went behind me and squished my face so I would look at Thai and I tried not to laugh.

"Ok, Mikan, you're gonna get the most, most, most, most important job. You're gonna watch the enemies and when they get close to the offense, yell 'enemy offense.' When they go near the defense, yell 'enemy defense.' Got that?" I nodded.

I didn't actually do anything though.

When we got on the battlefield, no one cared about the strategy and just shot randomly.

I was shooting next to Jennifer and then Ruka (he's on the other team) came and he shot me right on my index finger.

I lifted my hands up, a sign saying I'm leaving the battlefield and then like I got hit 3 other times.

Seriously? I raised my freaking hands and people still shot.

I looked at my finger when I got out.

There was the outline of the paintball and it turned red. There was a small blood bubble there too.

It's like a blister kind thing but it was red.

It stung a whole freaking lot and my finger went swollen.

It really burned and throbbed.

I went to wash off the paint on my hands and on my hair.

I was so close to crying.

Pain is the thing I hate most. Not to mention I never played paintball before.

My mom and Natsume said it stung, they didn't say it would be this painful.

Sachiko came out as well and saw me and asked if I was okay.

"Yeah I'm ok, just got shot in the hand." I answered.

Natsume came out as well and I was (purposely? I don't really know what I was doing then) holding my finger in pain.

"Hey you ok?" He asked.

The only thing that registered in my head was 'he still cares.'

"Yeah but I got shot in the hand." I whispered, trying to sound casual.

He told me to show it to him and I showed him my finger.

"PSHHH I'VE GOT WORSE." He exclaimed, waving me off.

"I know! But it still hurts!" I yelled, feeling a little better.

"You want a bandage?" He asked. I shook my head no.

He told the rest of the team that was still shooting to rap it up. When everyone was here, we had a rest.

When we got back into our resting area, I bursted.

"Aye I seriously don't wanna wear this mask anymore. I can't breath in it."

Ruka heard me complain.

"Well it protects you, Mikan. Or else I can just do this." Then he flicked me in the forehead.

It seriously hurt.

He kept flicking my head and he was way taller than me and so I couldn't do it back to him.

I kept jumping up and he kept flicking.

"Too bad you don't have your helmet, huh Mikan?" He joked and then he flicked me really hard.

"OW!" I exclaimed, rubbing the place where he flicked me.

Natsume came over and he patted me lightly on the back, leading me away.

"Just let it go." He said. My heart was beating so fast when he did that.

"OK guys, lets go play again." Natsume announced after a while.

No one really heard him and only 2 or 3 people went to wear their masks.

I waited for about 10 minutes.

"So are we going or not?" I finally asked.

Natsume put his hand on my shoulder, well, lower than that but not on my waist and his hand was so light it was barely touching me but I still felt it and he was leading me.

"Yeah, let's go."

We changed arenas and then it was more of an empty field with a few giant tin cans for us to hide behind.

I thought this was easier since no one could really shoot my hand or anything.

Someone kept shooting at my leg but it didn't really hurt as much as my poor finger.

My gun kept getting jammed and I had to leave the field every 10 minutes or so.

I became friends with Sumire again though.

I went and paid for more bullets.

Jennifer was really flirting with Natsume a whole lot.

Ugh, I hate it.

When everyone was finished, we went to the cafeteria/resting place.

I took off my helmet and hat and then just leaned on the table.

Natsume came over.

"You're still mad at Sumire?" He asked casually, like he was talking about the weather.

I answered no.

"But your not talking with her." He stated.

"Because she's with her boyfriend and stuff." I answered.

"You sure? So your angry at her 'cause she's not talking to you. Well, what if you had a boyfriend and he asked you to hang out. What, would you say no?" He tried to explain to me

"I totally understand that she wants to spend time with Kitsume but she doesn't listen to me at all. I mean, sometimes I have important things to tell her too!" I exclaimed.

He scoffed.

"Like what? 'I got an A on a test?'" He teased

"No!" I laughed.

"Yeah I know, I know. I was just kidding." He laughed and then walked away.

We changed back to the other court and then I was trying to get to the enemies side but then this douche spotted me and he kept shooting on my arm even when I said stop.

I was so close to crying I just lifted my hands up and kept walking.

I went out and I put my cap lower on my head so no one could see my eyes.

It hurt so damn much.

Then Simon came out too.

"God I was shooting this person so many times." Simon grinned happily.

"Dude, that was me." I said.

"That was you?"

"Yeah."

"Did it hurt?"

"YEAH."

"Good."

That surprised me.

"What!?" I exclaimed.

We played one last round later but I didn't play.

I gave my gun to someone else 'cause I was seriously hurt.

When the game was finished we went back to the resting place and hung out for a while.

When we went back on the bus I was so tired I just started sleeping.

Ruka brought speakers and so we started playing music.

I was talking to Simon about the pain and stuff and Natsume sat at the back with a whole bunch of girls.

Later, I knelt on my seat, looking behind me at Sumire and Kitsume and started talking to them.

Sumire and Kitsume had switched hoodies and Sumire really liked his hoodie.

She said it smells like him.

There were two empty ice tea bottles and I don't know how, but we all started playing volleyball with the bottles.

Then, Sumire and Natsume literally had a physical fight.

Kitsume saw his mom's car and he was so scared that she would see him since their parents don't know about them dating.

Natsume kicked Sumire and since she was wearing white pants huge black mark from his shoe.

She freaked out.

"NATSUME LOOK WAT YOU DID!" She screeched.

"Dude Kitsume, you should help Sumire." I told her boyfriend, who was curled up into a ball on his seat, trying to cover his face.

"I don't have a weapon." He answered.

"Here, use this bottle." Sumire called, throwing a bottle to Kitsume.

Then Kitsume was posed to hit Natsume but Kitsume wouldn't hit him.

"Ok, if you're not gonna hit him, I'll do it." Sumire hissed.

"Yeah, you do it." Kitsume said, laughing and handed the bottle to Sumire.

"KITSUME YOUR SO LAME." I screamed and started messing with his hair. (I found that hair is a weak spot for most boys. It's also kind of a game I made up.)

He messed mine up too.

"Mikan, your hair's messed up." Ruka stated.

I started combing my hair with my fingers but I didn't know where it was messed up.

Ruka motioned me to go over to him and then he helped me comb my hair.

I don't think Natsume saw that but he wouldn't be jealous anyway.

I continued talking to Kitsume and Sumire.

I would say 'oh~' every time they do something sweet.

"What are you, an owl?" Natsume and Mochu asked teasingly.

I stuck my tongue at them.

Finally arriving at Natsume's house, everyone stood up and I waited for a gap before I walked into the aisle of the bus.

Natsume walked past me and it looked like he was glaring at me, thought I don't know why. It really scared me though.

We went up to his house and there was like TONS of food on the table.

We went over and started eating.

I wanted to get something to drink and I tried opening the pepsi bottle.

"NO DON'T OPEN—" Simon, who was standing next to me, yelled.

Then the bottle exploded.

Not literally of course.

The fizz spilled out and it made a mess across the table.

"I TOLD U NOT TO OPEN IT!" Simon yelled, exasperated.

I kept apologizing and then Kaoru came. I was so confused on what I should do I just kept apologizing.

Kaoru told me it was ok and started cleaning the mess.

Simon helped.

"Dude, you made this mess, you should help clean." Simon told me coldly. I nodded dumbly and quickly got tissue paper.

Natsume walked past, coming out from his room.

I begged that he would go straight past.

"Whoa what douche made this mess?" Natsume asked. Of course, he would never miss my mistakes.

"Uh...me..." I whispered, embarrassed. I tried to explain but he just waved me off and left to the living room where everyone was.

The maid came and cleaned the mess up.

I thanked her and then went to join everyone else.

We watched the video Natsume took of the paintball. (He had a small camera on his head. Don't know what it's called.)

Sumire kept feeding Natsume's dog, Kaya, chips and other junk food.

I literally screamed at her and told her animals are not allowed to eat human food.

"Why? They eat it anyway." She answered nonchalantly. I wanted to slap her.

During the video, I saw that Kaya was on Ruka's lap and so I went over to pet it.

She left as soon as I touched her though.

I realized that Natsume was right next to me and it was so awkward.

He was so close to me and I leaned towards Ruka so I wouldn't be so close to him.

He saw Sumire feeding Oreos and fast food to Kaya.

"DUDE WAT ARE YOU TRYING TO DO? KILL THE DOG? GOSH DON'T YOU HAVE A DOG?" Natsume yelled.

"I do!" She yelled back.

"SUMIRE ARE YOU SERIOUS. I ALREADY TOLD YOU NOT TO, ESPECIALLY WHEN THE DOG ISN'T YOURS!" I joined in, scolding her. I wanted to strangle her. How can she not know something so simple?

She mumbled a soft 'sorry.'

Natsume moved away from me after that.

Minuted later my mom called

"EVERYONE SHUT THE HELL UP!" I yelled over the commotion before answer.

My mom said she was on the way.

"NOOOOOOOOOOO." I literally cried into the phone.

"Wait so who left?" Natsume asked later.

"No one left." Everyone answered.

Natsume sat down on the piano as he waited for everyone to get ready so we could leave.

I was holding an empty cup and some tissues. I was looking all over for a trash can. (Hey, it's not like I go there everyday unlike Sachiko.)

"Um...where's the trash can?" I mumbled to myself.

I was wandering around like a lost dog, trying to find the trash can.

"Oh, it's right here." Natsume heard me and answered.

He moved his leg a little and I saw the small trash can under the piano.

I threw the cup and tissue away and then thanked him.

"Ok! Let's go downstairs." Everyone went to wear their shoes and then waited for the elevators.

There was a small tree with cute stuffed horses hanging from them.

It was from Chinese New Year since it's the year of the horse. I guess they never took the tree down.

"Aww." I went over to touch the horse.

The horse stuffed animal fell off the tree and I quickly put the horse back on.

When I turned around Natsume just walked past me.

I quickly lifted my hands up, signaling I didn't do anything. (It's natural reflexes. I was kind of guilty.)

I ran to Sumire and Kitsume, not meaning to be the third wheel.

Natsume, Simon etc brought fireworks and Ruka had the lighter.

Ruka and other people went into the first elevator.

Everyone else, including me, Sumire, Kitsume and Natsume waited for the next elevator.

When we got down, we couldn't see Ruka or anyone that went down with him.

Natsume tried calling them several times and finally they answered.

They said they were at the playground.

Natsume sighed in annoyance and we all made our way there but couldn't see them.

Natsume told us to keep going.

Kitsume and Sumire completely ignored us (actually it was only Sumire that never listens and Kitsume wanted to stay with her) and continued playing on the playground.

We walked for a few minutes but still couldn't see them.

Natsume told us to go back to where we were.

We turned around and this time we saw Ruka and everyone else but not Sumire and Kitsume.

Natsume groaned and said he would go find them.

He and his friends left and so the rest was left to play on the tiny playground.

We played tag for a while (which wasn't fun since there were only like a meter of space to play) before Ruka decided to light the fireworks.

The stick shot out fireworks and it would pop in the air.

One firework hit Ruka on his butt.

"Whoa, ow!" He howled and jumped away.

We played for a long time and when Natsume finally came back, I had to go.

My mom told me to go to the entrance of his building but I didn't know how to get back.

I called Natsume several times but he didn't hear me because he was talking to one of his friends.

Mochu, since he also lived in the same building, told me how to get back.

I walked and then when I got to the entrance, I found out that I couldn't get in and get my bag without a card.

I groaned and then made my way back but after two steps, Natsume called me.

"Where are you?" He asked.

I told him I was at his building.

"Are you staying or leaving?" He said many things but I couldn't hear him clearly from the bad reception.

"What? What?" I yelled into the phone.

He asked me where I was.

"In front of your building."

"What?" He asked.

I half yelled into the phone and repeated what I said.

He told me to go in or something and a vein popped on my head.

"I cant!" He couldn't hear me.

"Ugh, you know what, I'll just go get you." Then he hung up.

I saw my parent's car and so I went over and told them I'm waiting for Natsume to bring me upstairs to get my bag.

Then I saw Sumire leaving and then she called Natsume.

Natsume came out the other way which was covered by the trees from my view.

He scanned the card and the door opened.

We got into the elevator and he was awfully quiet so I mumbled a small 'sorry.'

He rubbed his face in frustration.

"In front of the building!? You were all the way over there and you said you were in front of the building!?" He said calmly but his voice sounded quite tired.

"My parents just came and I went to tell them that I was waiting for you!" I defended myself.

He didn't really listen though.

When we got on his floor he told me to get my back and scram.

I felt really hurt and I just grabbed my bag and muttered a good-bye.

I went outside and waited for the elevator but some douche was taking his/her time and the elevator stopped on the floor for a really long time.

I was muttering over and over again for Natsume to close the door and just leave me be but then he came out with a bag of chips and I mentally groaned.

The elevator finally got onto the floor and then I pressed the first floor.

I was quiet until Natsume started talking.

"So you're ok with Sumire now." I nodded.

"By the way, TG (he told me before that he likes a girl nicknamed TG) doesn't exist. There's no such person." I told him seriously.

He chuckled.

"Are you sure? By the way G doesn't stand for the last name. It's the first name."

The elevator opened and then we walked through the lobby.

"So G stands for the first name." I confirmed.

"Yeah. Think about that." He told me before opening the door

I waved them good-bye and then left.

So...yeah. (Not so really) cute chapter...I guess. Tell me your ideas? Grammar mistakes?

All the names here are some of our friends. Many of them are the actual names of the people since I'm too lazy to change their names.

R&R Please! :D
