Disclaimer: I DO NOT own Gakuen Alice

...oOoOo...

Chapter 6

The sun was shining brightly over Gakuen Alice and the group was hanging out at the Howalon store at Central Town. It was Mikan's favorite delicacy and right now she was on her fifth box.

"Hmmmmmmm..I love you, Howalon!" Mikan said as she popped another one into her mouth. You could see sparkles around her and the howalon. It was like they had their own world together.

Ruka sweatdropped.

"Careful, Mikan, you might get a sore throat. Those things are just too sweet and you're on you're fifth box. Make that, sixth!" Ruka warned as Mikan threw away the empty box and began on another one.

"Naah..*nomnom..you should see..*nomnom...Hotaru and crabs! *nomnom...and she's allergic! *gulp" Mikan said talking with her mouth full. Hotaru gave her a glare and went back to her vanilla cake.

Natsume was sipping a soda and was staring out the window.

Natsume's POV

I can't get her off my head. Ever since she took that wig off. No...ever since she threw my manga out the window. She must be so annoying that she could get to me.

Are you sure?

What the? Who are?

I'm your conscience. Now back to the question. Are you sure she's in your head because she's annoying or is there another reason?

Shut up. Get out of my head! You're poisoning it. How could I possibly like-

"Natsume, are you ok? You're making weird angry faces." She asked me. She had bits of Howalon stuck beside the ends of her mouth and a few on her hair. She was like a child.

Again, how could I possibly like her?

Did I say you LIKE her? HAHA. Gotcha! Come'on she looks cute.

Are you really my conscience? You don't sound like me at all.

"Natsumeeeee..."

Oh you know, I express what's in your heart. You're not all bad boy.

"Natsume!"

"Shut up!" I said loudly. It was meant for my conscience but I accidentally blurted it out.

HAHA. Nice going.

I groaned.

"I'm sorry. You were spacing out. Hotaru and Ruka already left." She was playing with her fingers and biting her lip.

I looked at the empty seats and nodded at her. We got up and walked out the store.

Normal POV

"So...what should we do Natsume?" Mikan became cheery again and was ready to have some fun.

"I don't know." Natsume said quietly.

"Are you ok? Are you sick or something?" Mikan said as she touched Natsume's forehead.

Natsume could feel his face heat up at her touch but tried to keep his cool. He slowly removed Mikan's hand away, not wanting to hurt her feelings if he just smacked it away.

"I'm fine, idiot." He said as he removed Mikan's hand.

Natsume wasn't able to let go of Mikan's hand when he heard a girl, shout.

"There's Natsume-sama and he's with the nerd!"

"Let's get him!"

"Natsume-sama!"

"Tsk, fangirls. Come'on, Strawberries, you're much more in trouble than I am." Natsume said as he held on to Mikan's hand as they dashed off into the woods.

"Stra-strawberries?" Mikan was confused and stood for a while trying to absorb what he said.

Per-veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeert!" Mikan yelled as Natsume dragged her deeper in the forest.

They kept running hand in hand and finally stopped when they were sure that they were not being followed anymore.

They were panting from all the running and stopped to rest by a tree.

Natsume sat and leaned on the trunk and Mikan followed him.

"You've got lots of admirers there." Mikan said in between pants and resting her head on the trunk.

"Hn."

Mikan's POV

I'm sweating and I'm tired. Phew. That was some run. I looked at Natsume.

Whoa. He looked really hot even though with the sweat on his forehead.

"Are you ok, Natsume?" I asked with concern in my voice. I was worried. He didn't talk so much this morning and in the store he was spacing out. Natsume Hyuuga does not space out.

"Hn."

Well. I knew he was going to say that. I sighed and looked up. I knew trying to start a conversation with him isn't going to be happening so I might as well save my breath.

"Polka..."

"Hm?" I responded not looking at him.

"How do you do it?"

"Do what?" I asked confused at his question.

"Smile all the time. Even though I peek at your panties and call you names, you still hang around me." He finally said, but avoided my gaze as I looked at him.

"Well..." I started, I didn't really know the answer. Was it because he was my partner? Or I didn't have that much friends?

"Well, Natsume.." I started again.

"I consider you as not only my partner but my friend. I know you really don't mean those harsh names and seeing my undies wasn't on purpose...I HOPE... (I emphasized this and I think I saw him smile a little and I laughed) I don't hate you. I don't know why, seeing you really don't give a damn about me, but I think you're a really good person even though people say you're not." I smiled at him and he gave me a small smile back.

He looked really really cute. I wanted to pinch his cheeks.

Without thinking I placed my hands on his face and pinched him really hard.

"Natsume, you're cute when you smile!" I said as I pinched his cheeks harder and started twisting and pinching his face making all this funny expressions. I laughed hard and let go he was massaging his now red cheeks and I can't stop laughing.

"That hurt, Polka." He said and chuckled.

Wow...I'm seeing a new Natsume here.

He suddenly turned serious.

"Tell anyone about this and you can't use the bathroom for the rest of the year." He said and I just laughed. He smiled again!

"Come'on lighten up!" I giggled. But I knew when to stop. I needed the bathroom.

I can't believe I made THE Natsume Hyuuga smile and chuckle.

"I'm really sorry for yesterday." Natsume said, his face was now filled with a little sorrow.

"Nah, it's ok. We're pass that. Friends?" I said and held out my hand and he took it and shook.

I smiled at him and he rolled his eyes.

"We should get back to the room, it's getting late, let's just call some fast food for dinner" I said and smiled at him. He got up and reached out his hand for me.

My heart fluttered. A gentleman? I took his hand and stood up. I shook the dust off my skirt and off we head to the dorms.

Normal POV

*click! *click! *click!

"Hotaru, this is wrong. Stalking them is not right." A blonde whispered to the photographer.

He wanted to laugh at what Mikan was doing to Natsume's face but held his laughter.

They were intelligently hidden among the bushes.

"Shut up, Nogi. They'll hear us!" Hotaru snapped.

After a few minutes...

"Come, let's go back to our rooms too. They're leaving." Hotaru said and got into her scooter.

Ruka sighed and got in too. He wasn't going to walk all the way back.
