"And the play we are going to put on for the winter is none other than "The Christmas Angel", a story about hope, love, and family. This play was written years ago by our own Mr. Sakura to express his true feelings towards Christmas. So everyone is expecting this year to be great since we have some wonderful people in it. Like for example, Mikan Sakura will play the Angel! Now before I announce the roles, let's do some introductions and some warm- ups!" Narumi-sensei said happily to the class.

I can't tell you how much I hate that teacher. He annoys me so much. After doing warm-ups he told us to sit down. I raced for a seat towards the back so that I wouldn't get picked for anything. But my luck ran out for Mikan, our "Angel", was already sitting in the back of the classroom with the other seat taken by a friend of hers Hotaru Imai. Hotaru was the complete opposite of Mikan. She was popular, she was pretty, and she was really smart. But she was also cold, quiet, and the blackmailing queen of the world. Really she is because her favorite people to blackmail is Ruka and I. She told us in 7th grade that, "I'm waiting for the moment for you two to start making out. I know your relationship is more than just friends. And when you realize that, I will be there…" She is just so creepy. I sat in the last seat and looked at the clock. Great, I have 34 more minutes in this class.

"Are you excited about the play, Hyuuga-san?" Mikan asked me.

I didn't respond to her. Why would I talk to her really?

"I know I'm excited! I wonder who is going to get the part of the father?" she continued.

Hotaru, the ice queen, turned her head towards me and gave me a death glare.

"Not me I hope…" I said. Hey, I didn't want the ice queen to hurt me.

"I think you would do great in that role in my opinion. You never know what God will do. Maybe he will pick you Hyuuga-san." She replied. Oh goodness, I thought that we might avoid a conversation without talking about God and everything. "What do you think Hotaru? Do you think Hyuuga-san could be the father?"

Hotaru turned to face Mikan and then raised her hand.

"I nominate Natsume Hyuuga as the male main lead." She said with a cold straight face.

"Wait, I don't…"

"I second that nomination!" Mikan said raising her hand.

By the end of the class period, I was the male lead of the school play. Could my day get ANY more worse than this. Ha, well let me tell you, it did.

"Natsume, come straight home with Aoi because you're father is home for the week." Mother said on her message on my iPhone. Great, dinner with Mr. Hyuuga. This should be fun…

"Natsume, I don't see what the problem is with becoming Student Body President. This will look good for college." My father said cutting his chicken breast with pomegranate sauce.

"I don't do that gay stuff." I said flatly to him.

"Natsume, if you are taking over my company, then you need to do this! Know I will call the school…"

"YOU CAN'T DO THIS…"

"So that they can put your name on the list for elections. This will help with your leadership skills."

"DAD WHY AREN'T YOU LISTENING TO ME? I DON'T WANT TO DO THIS STUPID RETARDED THING!" I yelled standing up.

"You will do it and that is final." He said getting up and walking away from the table. He didn't even eat his dinner.

"Natsume, you are grounded if you don't do as your father tells you." My mother said to me, even though we all knew she wouldn't do that since she also thought dad's idea was stupid.

I sighed. I really wouldn't hear the end of this from my friends.

During the next few weeks, my life was a total nightmare. Not only was I forced to run for Student Council, but my friends were totally for it.

"Dude, you should totally run so that we can do whatever we want! It would be so great!" Koko said patting me on the back. This truly shocked me. Yet, of course I didn't show it on my famous cold face that girls just die over.

"Yeah Natsume, who would run against and win?" Mochu said patting my other shoulder and grinning like crazy.

Of course they weren't wrong about that and I won 64% of the votes.

After weeks of stupid meetings with the Student Council, the time finally came for the Homecoming dance. Oh crap, the homecoming dance, I totally forgot about that…

"So Natsume, who you taken?" Koko asked me with a huge smile.

"…"

"Come on dude! Who is your date?"

"…"

"Let me guess, you don't have one do you?"

See, if I said yes then gang would make fun of me. But if I say I have one, then they won't ask me again. I left Koko standing by the front door alone and walked to my car where Aoi was waiting for me. After getting home, I went start to my year book from last year and looked at all the freshmen through jumior girls that I could find. After talking to my sister who is the queen bee of gossip at our school, I was able to hear who had a date and who didn't. After just flipping through the pictures I landed on Mikan Sakura's picture. If you took a good look at her, she doesn't look that bad at all. She just looks decent and ordinary. Under her picture it said: Mikan Sakura, Junior, Dreams- Wanting for a Miracle.

Now that's really different. I thought that she would at least say, "To help the world by reading and teaching the bible" or something. So then I made up my decision: I will ask Mikan Sakura to the Homecoming Dance.

"WHAT?!?!? ARE YOU SERIOUS NATSUME?!?!?!" Aoi shouted as I told her my plan. I gave her a death glare signaling her that she should keep quiet.

"But…why? Why Mikan Sakura?" She said more quietly looking back at me with a more serious face than before. I responded by shrugging my shoulders and sitting on her bed. I mean I know that I'm going to ask her because I don't have another date and that I figured she wouldn't have one. But was there another reason? I hardly think so.

"Well, I guess I should say I hope you have a good time with her and also make sure you ask her dad as well. He is the one who has to yes. Brother, I'm truly happy that you are growing up though. Sakura- san, though weird and different, she is sweet and nice. I think she is a perfect match for you."

After leaving Aoi's room, I was so confused about what she just said. Was she trying to tell me something important? Well who cares. The important thing to think about is how I am going to ask Mikan to the dance?
