Read and Review thanks!

"What happens when he's Prince Charming, but she's not his Cinderella?"

Normal P.O.V

"Do you really want to know?" "Because this is my happy ending!" Those words kept echoing in Mikan's mind. It was loud and clear. She had somehow ended up in a park after the encounter at school. The sky was pink from the evening sun, and birds were nesting into their homes.

"Ew, look at her"

"I know right, I feel sorry for Natsume-kun"

"What a pathetic loser" Everyone was looking at her in disgust, as she quickly brushed pass them all. One girl even pulled her friend out of the way as to not touch her 'germs.'

"Oi, Loser" Mikan looked up in time to see a bottle of juice dumped onto her head, from a guy who was in one of her classes. Megumi-kun. "That's for even having me fooled by your little act." He smirked, while his friends sniggered along with him. Tears were threatening to fall as she looked down onto the ground and quickened her pace.

"Hey! What's wrong, late for another blowjob?" The hall immediately broke out into murmurs. "Seriously? I can't believe her!" "Hey, do you think i have enough for one night with her?" "DUDE!" Mikan was near the entrance of the school when suddenly, she was toppling onto the ground face first. Laughter erupted around.

"Hey! Don't you people have anything better to do?!" A voice screeched out. Megumi stopped laughing. "What's it to you? If I remember correctly you hated her ass when she first came here, what gives Shouda?!" Shouda Sumire made her way beside Mikan. "Well, people change, unlike you stupid scumbags who have nothing better to do then bully others." Megumi wasn't backing down. "Tch, she fucking deserves it, you know that! She lied to Natsume straight in his face, she probably lied to you too."

"No! I didn't lie to ANYONE!" Mikan was choking on her words as they came out of her mouth. For once Sumire had nothing to say.

"What's happening here?! Get back to your classes!" Jinno-sensei came in. "Break it up, all of you, back to classes otherwise detention for a month!" The students scrambled back to their classes. Sumire held out a hand for Mikan. "Don't mind what those assholes say, they just like to do these kind of stuff." She mumbled to her. Mikan nodded. "Are you okay?" Sumire asked out."Mhm, I'm fine" Sumire gave one last look at her before heading to her class.

"Mikan" A voice broke her thoughts as she looked up to the amethyst eyes "Oh, Hotaru, What are you doing here?" Hotaru gave her a look, but there was something in her eyes that were... different. "I should be asking you the same question."

"Well, I'm.. I'm just getting some fresh air "

"Fresh air huh." Mikan patted the spot next to her on the bench. Hotaru took it. "Mikan... are you okay?" Mikan looked at her then. The strange feeling in her eyes. It as worry. "I'm fine" The breeze blew softly around them, and the sun began to set behind the hills. It was calm. "I'm here with Ruka, he had to do some errands at the shop across that road so he made me wait. I thought I might as well take a walk."

"Oh okay" Silence engulfed them. "Mikan..." Hotaru began, but Mikan knew what she wanted to say. "It's okay Hotaru, I'm fine. I should have known, I can't be a princess, not on my own huh... Luna, she did all this, I still don't understand it all but I know she did all this." Hotaru was silently sinking it in. "Mikan, I think you should go look for Hyuuga, explain to him about everything, about Luna, about the truth..." She paused. "About your feelings" Mikan turned her gaze to the ground. There was nothing to say. That Luna did all this to them, that she actually loves him? Or maybe that she knows he's Nat-kun, her childhood best friend. It wasn't possible. "I-I don't know, it's not like he'll believe me now anyway"

"And, you're gonna just let him get away, just like that? You have to fight for what you love Mikan. Hyuuga doesn't know anything that's happened, that's why you need to explain it" It was weird seeing Hotaru talk so much and give her advice. Getting all worked up. It was almost humorous. "I-I don't know..."

"Mikan, it's time for to to get the happy ending you deserve." Mikan looked up at Hotaru then. Really looked at her. This was the side she rarely saw, but also loved Hotaru for. She smiled. "Okay, thanks Hotaru." Mikan wiped her face from the tears. She can do this, love can conquer all right? And right now she loves Natsume. "Wait, Mikan" Mikan stopped and turned around. "mhm?"

"Do you... Do you know why... Koizumi did this to you?" Because she's a slut, Mikan thought at first, but then instead she smiled, but there was sadness in her eyes. "Apparently I destroyed her happiness, so now she wants to destroy mine"

Mikan's P.O.V

"Aira-san! Please you have to let me see him!" (A/N: Do you remember she is the head maid?) "Sorry Mikan. Natsume-sama wishes you to leave this instance"

"Aira-san!" I've been outside Natsume's mansion for hours now trying to get in, but he still wouldn't see me! "Please Aira-san! It's important!"

"Sorry Mikan, I can't do much about it"

"Just let me in!"

"No can do Mikan"

"Fine! I'll continue to wait out here, til he comes out then!"

"sigh, Mikan it's getting late, why don't you head over to Imai-san's place for the night and come back tomorrow?"

"No! Not til I see Natsume!" With another sigh, Aira-san went back inside. I sat down on the ground wrapping my arms around myself. Since when did the weather get so chilly? It was probably 10 by now. I looked up to Natsume's window. Natsume, I'm waiting because I want to see you. It was already the fourth time Aira-san had come out to talk to me. Natsume still wouldn't see me though. I thought about the times we were always together when we were little. He was already a big fat meanie then, though there are times where he showed a more caring side. Like this one time I had fallen over and scrapped my knee, he piggy-back me back home, and stayed with me til grandfather got home. We had so much fun when we were little, there wasn't all this drama happening in our lives. I heaved out a rather loud sigh. "Natsume... someday, will you choose me as you princess?"

"Mikan, Natsume-sama has given permission for you to see him now. But you will have to leave the property immediately after, understand? I looked at Aira-san. Natsume finally, I can explain everything! "Hai!"

*knock knock*

"Natsume-sama I have brought her"

"Hn" I turned to the dark figure standing near the window of the room. I could barely breath. Natsume. "Here" he handed me a brown envelope. "Your paycheck for this month and the next month are all here."

"w-what?"

"what? Is that still too little?" I looked up into Natsume's blazing crimson eyes. "t-that's all you called me here for?"

"Tch, what else isn't it what you're here for also?" I stayed quiet. "I expect you leave after this, you're disturbing my and I can sue you for that" he said in a monotone. "Are we done here? He walked over to the door and opened it. "Do you mind? I would like to get some rest" This time I couldn't help it anymore. I could feel Natsume's gaze burn on me, as the tears continued to fall down my now damp cheeks. "N-Natsume, Please don't do this! It- It was a mistake! Luna, Luna did all this! I'm telling the truth Natsum-" A slap echoed the four walls, and into my ears. My eyes widened with shock and hurt, while Natsume was shaking with disgust. "N-Natsume?"

"I've had enough of your blabbering lies! You're just like the rest of them. A good shag! Just cuz I favored you, you become this disgusting slut! It didn't mean anything, you got that?! Okay? I'm bored of you and that dirty touch of yours! I've had enough of you-" Another slap was heard, this time it was Natsume's face that was flaming red and eyes wide with surprise. "A good... shag? That's what you've been seeing this, this whole time? A good. Shag?!" Natsume's eyes were covered with his hair, while I was hit with hurt. "You never took this seriously did you?! You never took us seriously! You think this is some kind of game?!"

"Love is a game" He mumbled under his breathe, and at that moment, I realized it. This Natsume was no longer the boy i grew up with, this Natsume is selfish and... horrifying. He's turned into a arrogant bastard who plays with women's hearts. "I see..." He turns to look at me. "I understand"

"Tch, no you don't" he growled out low. "Yes! Yes I do! All of this! Everything!" and I ran... because now, I understood more the anyone else.

Preview of next chapter:

"Ruka, I said leave it, it wasn't meant to be. She was nothing, we were nothing!"

Natsume's eyes connected with Ruka's. A fire burning furiously bright between them.

"How could you say that Natsume? You loved her!"

Natsume lowered his head. Ruka was speechless. "You know what Natsume? You know what the issue is with this world? Everyone wants a magical solution for their problems yet..." There was a pause and Natsume looked up to see why Ruka stopped only to find Ruka staring at him intensely. "... they refuse to believe in magic."

Okay! So this chapter is finished and I have also finished the next chapter, I just have to type it up. I just got my braces also, so I am staying at home plus it's the holidays, so I have all this time to do stuff. Stay tuned for the next chapter! It sure is gonna get a bit messy.

Thanks for reading and please send in your comments and review :)
