Sorry this took so long. Please read my note on the bottom when you are done!

~Tuesday night four days until the Homecoming Dance in the Hyuuga House~

While working on my homework, Aoi ran into my room and slammed the door shut. I quickly shot a deaf glare at her making sure she realized that she was disturbing me and my quiet time.

"What do you want Aoi?" I said stiffly.

"Okay, I have waited all day for this. Now spill Natsume. How did it go? And you better not skip any juicy details!" Aoi said sitting Indian style on my bed. Doesn't she have homework too? Well it doesn't matter. I wanted to talk to somebody about it and Aoi is the only person who isn't going to laugh at me when I tell them.

"Well," I said looking at my hands. "It started after school…"

~After School~

I was looking for that Polka Dot print girl all day, but she wasn't here! Of all the days not to be here too! After play rehearsals, I decided to go to enemy territory.

"Yo Imai, where is Sakura?" I asked her.

All she did was continued to put her coat on.

"Imai, where's Sakura?" I asked again.

"20 rabbits."

WHAT?!?!? Really? Twenty freckin rabbits for info on Polka's where abouts? You got to be kidding me!

"Cough it up or you won't find out."

I sighed. Ruka warned me about this girl. But I didn't think she was this bad. I got out my wallet and handed her the rabbits. I better get what she eat for breakfast and lunch and also what she wore today for this money.

"Mikan had a doctor's appointment today so she took the day off since it might have taken all day. She should be home now. Oh, do me a favor and take her homework to her would you? It saves me a trip over there." With that she handed me a folder and left. How did I end up in this situation?

I drove straight to Mikan's house after leaving school. When I pulled up I got the folder together and gather all of my energy. I have never felt this way before. All of this trouble for Mikan Sakura? It felt in human. But I got out the car and headed to the door. Ringing the doorbell I wondered what she might say about me being here. She probably doesn't really like me since I'm a "delinquent" as her daddy calls me. But whatever, I mean I am one but not the scary type that beats up freshman because they sicken me, but the kind that doesn't follow the rules. I hardly even go to church too. I heard foot steps from the other side of the door and someone shouting, "Coming Hotaru!" Boy, was she in for a treat. Mikan opened the door and her face drooped. It was oh so priceless.

"Natsume Hyuuga, what brings you here?" She was able to say after trying to collect herself from the shock.

"Can I come in?" I asked.

"No, not when my father's not home. No boys allowed inside when he isn't home. But we can sit out here if you like."

I walked over to the porch chairs that were sitting by the door and sat in the closet one. Mikan sat in the porch swing facing me.

"So, it's not every day the famous Natsume Hyuuga comes knocking on my door. Tell me how is your sister Aoi doing?" She said. Why did she ask about my sister?

"Um, fine I guess. You know she is getting used to High school life and what not. She is just normal." I responded.

"And your parents? How are they?"

"Both good."

"So what happened in school? Do you know the homework?"

"Yeah, um, Imai sent this for you. She said it's all your homework plus notes. She was too busy to come today it looked like. I surprised she didn't ask you for money or whatever for it."

"Oh well, you know Hotaru can be kind at times. Yet I am also surprised she didn't ask for money as well. But God is always surprising us with something new every day. Like you showing up here right now. I bet you it was part of God's plan." Oh goodness, I wondered when she was going to talk about God and his plan. Did I really want to do this?

"Hey Sakura, I was wondering what you are doing Saturday?" I asked.

"Me? Well, Hotaru was bugging me about going to the Homecoming dance since I haven't been at all. But I wasn't going to-"

"Come with me then." I interrupted. She was surprised by my comment. Her big brown eyes widened as she tried to formulate a sentence in reply.

"Would you come to the dance with me?" I asked again.

She just kept staring at me. I never noticed before, but her eyes were really…soft in a way. She then smiled and said, "Yes Hyuuga-san, and-"

I interrupted her again and told what time I was picking her up as I got up to leave. Walking toward the stairs Mikan shout, "Wait, before you go…" and I stopped and turned around. She stood up from the swing and said, "I might have said yes, but on one condition." Well I guess it would hurt if I heard her out. I mean what can it be?

"This might start our friendship, but you can never, and I mean never, fall in love with me. That is all." She then walked into the house and shut the door, leaving me stunned looking at the door. Of course I didn't show it on my face because that wasn't cool. But I was really shocked and sat in the car for a good few minutes. Me? Fall in love with her? She must be joking! That really got me laughing. Two could play that game really easily. And with that in mind, I drove home and started on my homework…

~Natsume's room~

"She really said that? Wow, Sakura-san is really cool! I didn't know she had it in her to say that to the all so cool Natsume Hyuuga. That takes a lot of guts. So what's going to happen now my dear brother?" Aoi asked me.

"Well," I said looking straight at her. "Let's just see what happens. It would be really interesting to find out as well."

A/N: Okay so what are your thoughts? I have been sick lately so I haven't been able to update quickly as before. But I will do it or try to do it every week. I also have a task for you readers: in the reviews, give me a good song that Natsume would be surprised to see Mikan listening to. I have an idea for the next chapter but I want to hear your opinion! Thanx for reading and see you next chapter!
