= Waiting for his love =

I'm sorry for the late update, I haven't turned on my computer lately at all so I never got around to uploading it. But I hope this pays back for the lateness. RESULTS DAY TOMORROW SOOOOO SCARED. But enjoy.

The smiles that were plastered on the group's face, as they spent the night celebrating the start of a new relationship seemed so distanced and wasted. The moment that Hotaru had regretted, came too early for her to prepare any gadgets that could change time and remove that witch from the picture. But she was no witch in Natsume's eyes. Everyone could see how Natsume face was filled with regret and sadness as he looked at the girl that he personally hurt. Like a shrimp, Mikan physically and emotionally felt small and forgotten, unsure if she had any say; even though she was his official girlfriend. But in this case she seemed like a lost throne without a king. She already knew that the battle that she hardly fought was already take off her by the queen of winter. Just in split second, Narumi sensei had interrupted their world with his projective, girly voice

'Aww now now it's no time for reunions. Mostly when you 8 are late for class and Nonoko I'm very disappointed with you' Narumi tried to lighten the mood but even Nonoko wasn't in the mood to worry about a stupid lateness. She was too confused about the sudden change in Natsume's emotions.

'Narumi-sensei, could I sit next to Natsume' Nana sweetly asked as she pretended to play with her skirt's hem

'Umm, well you see Natsume's already sitting next to som-'

'So if Natsume says I can sit with him, then can I?' Nana shot her head at Natsume. Directing her gaze at the shocked hopeless boy, that was torn between two girls. Mikan already knew she had lost the long pause and wondering eyes, already proved to Mikan that even though she was the girlfriends, she was beaten by an outsider.

'umm Narumi-sensei, if you don't mind do you think I could sit at the front?' Mikan cheekily smiled as she held up her hand. Her response stirred up the whole class, as they murmured about they're relationship statue and if Nana was the intruder.

'Well if Natsume doesn't mind then I guess you're allowed' Hoping silently, Mikan wished for Natsume to show a single sign of care towards her. But nothing told her to stay, neither answer nor action. Plastering a forced smiled she skipped to her seat while greeting all her fan club fans and friends. There was nothing to do for the group but to obediently sit and wait for a later answer.

Class seemed to have passed slowly for them all. Mikan doodled aimlessly as her mind was trying to figure out everything that suddenly happened that left her in this seat. Just like Mikan, natsume was trying to find the reason of Nana's sudden arrival.

As the group awkwardly sat there, poking their food like it was their punch bag. The new arrival to sudden for there're group's liking. Taking Mikan's space on the table next to Natsume was Nana, who was giggling and laughing at Natsume's slightest action. Which became more irratting by the minute, but Hotaru couldn't give a slightest care because her eyes were locked on the door: waiting for Mikan.

Meanwhile someone near the campus:

'You've found him' the speaker eyes started to tear up, as happy tears started to roll down her eyes. 'It's a miracle right? We've going to be together again' The other person on the line screamed

'Really, so you'll pick me up then'

'Of course darling, we can all go out to our favourite restaurant just the four of us. But sweetie, mother and father need you to do something very important for us'

'Bussiness?' she spoke sternly straightening herself and wiping away the tears that stained her smooth skin

'Clever like away. You see your brother is in a coma so we need you to help our business to get back onto its feet, can you do that?' this time a male voice spoke replacing the smooth angelic female

'When could I never, I was born like you dad' she smirked as she closed the phone, as she went directly to the library rather than the canteen.

Back to the canteen...

As they were ready to leave the table, spending much longer than usual; they hoped and waited for Mikan would storm into the door, screaming at them for leaving her behind. But luck was slipping and time was running out. Just before they rose from their seat, Mikan came skipping in staggering on the way, trying to balance out the heavy weight bag.

'MIKAN' the twins screamed out across the hall, as they ran towards her, helping her with her bag

'Baka we were worried about you' Hotaru walked up as she hugged her. 'Eh, Hotaru what about?' Mikan cluelessly asked

BAKA BAKA BAKA – Hotaru fired her baka gun new edition at Mikan for wasting her love on this hopeless girl

'Jesus Hotrau, she's recovering' Permy screamed at Hotaru

'From what, she doesn't even remember' Hotaru spoke as she walked back into her seat

'Ehh about wha-' Mikan picked herself up only remembering now about Nana, she froze there as she realised that her place was taken

'NO YOU DIDN'T, YOU COMPLETELY FORGOT' Permy screamed at Mikan while she sleeplessly smiled and walked to the queue to buy something. Accidently overhearing her so called boyfriend's conversations

'Can we leave now, Natty'

'No'

'But we've been here for more than 40 minutes and I need to the toilet'

'Go yourself'

'Why are you being so cruel to me, everyone's being cruel to me, reo was first now it's you' Nana sulked and cried. Natsume's eyes widened at the name 'REO'

'What did he do' His full attention was now on her but she wasn't going to say anything.

'Let's go' Natsume got off his chair as he dragged her hand while picking up her bag on the way

'I told you, you couldn't resist me. Sorry Mikan but Natsume is mine' her thoughts contented the owner, as she smiled at the person in front

Just seconds after, screams and cries could be heard from the entrance of the canteen. All 4 boys locked their heads up, concentrating on the noise that was being projected. Before the girls could even ask 'why they were staring at the door', they were already grabbed by their lover boys and was forced out of the canteen to their hide outs. Minutes after, four panting girls that had smudged makeup and messy hair searched the room with dagger eyes before running to another location.

'Guys, I'll try to be quick-' Mikan spoke as she turned around, only to find a empty table. Unsure what to do she walked towards her table as she tried to find them. 'Hotaru, Anna, Permy, Nonoko, Misaki where are you' She whispered as a tear formed at how horrendous this day could be. A gentle tap on Mikan's shoulder made her swing around 'You scared me guy-' hoping to see her best friends but standing in front wasn't her friend at all but someone that she's never met before

'Umm, I was wondering if I could sit with you'

'Ehh' taken by surprised that a guy was asking to sit with her

'Umm well if umm you don't mind then could I?'

'Of course ' Mikan sat down opposite sides to him as they chatted and laughed at each other

'Opps I completely forgot to introduce myself, I'm Mikan Sakura' Mikan gleefully smiled, happy that he was there at this time 'I'm Ren Mori' He leaned politely smiling

'So you're a transfer right?'

'Eh, are you fortune teller or something?' Ren acted surprised causing Mikan to burst into laughter

'Do you think I could pull it off' Mikan tired to act like a fortune teller, this time making Ren to burst in giggles.

'More like a manic than a fortune teller'

'HAAHHAHAHAH, thanks great friend you are'

'Already a friend I see' Ren smirked 'Well – well , umm what else do you want me to call you as then' Mikan defended herself as she started to blush

'Your BOYFRIEND' as he leaned in making her blush at her statement

'ehhhhhh' she loudly cried. As she backed away.

'Just joking, you don't like me right' Ren faked a disappointed face as he ate his food 'More like I'm with Natsume right now, well I think I am.' Mikan looked at her food disappointingly

'Someone's not taking care of my Mikan' Ren teased her trying to cheer her up. 'YOU IDOIT, I'M NOT YOUR MIKAN ' Mikan playfully palm slapped his forehead with her hand.

Before they could carry on their conversation, the school bell echoed the hall informing them that classes were starting soon.

'Wait Mikan, can you be my tour partner' Ren quickly asked before she rose from her chair

'WHAT REALLY, OF COURSE' Mikan joyfully jumped out of the chair as she grabbed her bag but was pulled down again

'How about I hold your bag and you tour me to my class, deal' Ren easily took her bag like it weighed a feather and chucked her the map.

'Eh, we have the same classes except from registration' Mikan scanned his schedule

'Do I have your consent to pick you up after registration so that you could be my tour guide' He theatrically acted like prince charming as he kneeled down onto his feet and lifted one of his hands to gently touch her petite left hand.

'Oh of course, Romeo' Mikan tried to carry on the act

'I'm not Romeo, I'm prince charming' he sulked offended that his acting skill was wrongly

'Get over it, you neither of them' She whacked him on the shoulder 'I'm hurt' Ren acting as if he was shot in the heart.

Thank you so much all review really inspired me to write this.

I was quiet stuck on the ending, unsure how to actually end it nicely but I hoped you liked the content.
