To KelseyMorgan, whose color and song idea will be used in a chapter or two. Plus a thank you to her for readingmy crazy ramble/rant. You have patience my friend!
Weirdly enough Iris is one of my favorite songs too. XD
See how quick I updated? Im so proud! Plus I have a paper due tomorrow but I could help but write this in honor of the newest chapter of Gakuen Alice which was totally awesome!
Okay so here you go. I won't ramble this time. Im too tired.
Disclaimer: I Don't own G.A or a walk to remember.
okay, it's 1:29 am...bedtime.
Mikan buckled herself in and sighed very softly as she waited for me to get the car ready. I was really tired. Even though it was only 10:15, a lot happened at the dance that didn't even involve dancing. On my way to drop Sakura off at her house, most of the car ride was quiet.
"Natsume-san, is there a meaning to life?" I heard a soft voice interrupt the silence in the car.
"huh?"
"Well, what I'm trying to ask mostly is why does God have certain plans for us? What do you think about that?"
"I don't."
"Why?"
"I just don't okay?" We were silent for a minute before she asked again.
"You have to have some reason why?"
"Look Polka, if I told you would you shut up?" I asked looking at her with a more annoyed look on my face.
"What? PERVERT!"
"It's not my fault…" Did she really have on polka dots tonight? Tsh, what a child.
After calming down a bit, she asked again, "Please? Could you please tell me your answer?"
There was no going around this question. "We are all born with a mission. Everyone is different and that's how God made us and stuff. So I guess he decided certain people would live one way while others live another. Some people would see these things and some people would see those things. Everyone is different Polka. Got it?" I asked. I just realized that I was parked in front of her house now and we were just sitting in my car talking.
"That's a really good answer Natsume-san. Thank you!" she said looking at her watch and un-bulking her seatbelt.
"Oh I have a favor to ask you." She asked.
"Yeah whatever."
"Since its getting dark early, would you mind taking me back home from play practice? In return, I can help you memorize your lines. I noticed that you have been having problems memorizing and asked Narumi-Sensei if I can help you. He said yes it would be a wonderful idea. So, what do you think?" She asked me waiting for a response. I thought for a moment. Should I do this? It would benefit me in the end because of the stupid play but what will the others think if they ever saw me taking Polka home? They would not let me see tomorrow. But in the end, it would save my butt.
"Hn." I simply said. Mikan smiled and got out the car. Before closing the door she bowed and said, "Thank you for taking me to my first dance. It was very fun." Then, she closed the door and walked up to her house.
"You have to tell me EVERYTHING Natsume! What did you do before, during, and after the dance? I'm in the dark here brother!" Aoi yelled jumping on my bed. Really, what if I was naked?
"Do you really want to know?" I asked her. Of course I knew the answer, but it was just fun messing with her.
"OF COUSE I DO! NOW SPILL NATSUME HYUUGA!"
"God, you are going to make my ears bleed! Fine, fine I'll tell you." I ended up telling her everything that happened. It was about twenty minutes until I finished the whole story. She sat there calmly listening to me talk. After I was done, she smiled and said, "I think she likes you."
"…" Huh?
"I really do. Mikan is different. But to do all of that? She is one hell of a keeper big brother." Aoi said winking at me.
"Tsh, and why is that? She was weird like always all night. Plus she asked me if I can take her home after play practice."
"But you accepted her offer right?"
"Yeah, so?"
"Usual, you would say no. But you said yes to her. I mean if I asked you to take me home, you would say no as well…"
"What are you trying to say Aoi?"
She was silent before saying, "I think you might be starting to gain feelings for Mikan. But you just don't know it yet." That hit me hard. Me? Have feelings for that crazy bible loving girl? The one with the crazy dad? Hell no! Why would I like her? I mean she still wears childish underwear for goodness sakes! She is just too weird for my liking!
"Well, time for bed! I'm going to church tomorrow." Aoi said getting off my bed and stretching.
"Why are you going to church?" I asked. I was really curious. We never go to church except for holidays. Or for mom's birthday.
"For some reason, I feel like going to church would be a good change for once. After talking about Mikan for so long, I feel like going. And you, my dear brother, will be driving me." I didn't argue. It actually didn't seem like a bad idea. Though when mom hears we are going, she would want to go too. "Okay whatever. Just tell mom as well. She would probably want to go too." Her smile grew wide and she ran over to me and hugged me. Normally, I don't let people hug me. But I would let this one slide.
Over the next week and four days, I would drive Mikan to her house after rehearsals and as she prepared dinner for herself and her father, we would go over our lines. Yeah, her dad was there, but I ignored him. He wasn't that important anyway. But during our trips to her house, she would ask me these weird questions. Like yesterday…
"If you could have any super power Nastsume-san, what would it be?"
"Fire." I answered simply.
"Why fire?"
"Because it's powerful and strong. Yet it can be so gentle. It's also kinda safe too. What about you Polka?"
She was silent for a while a softly said, "The power of immortality."
"Why that?" I was really interested why she said that, but I didn't let my oh so cool façade go down just because I was getting use to her. Heck, my friends only see my cool side and nothing else.
"Because there is still so many things on my list that I haven't done yet. I want to be able to do all of them and even more that I haven't even thought about. It would take a life time to do it, and immortality would be great to have." She ended smiling at me.
Never in my wildest dream would I image she would say all of that. She was just an odd one that Polka. But it didn't ended there. After I asked her what was on her list she said, "It's a secret that I know. Not even Hotaru knows about it."
"Yo Natsume look, Sakura is coming this way." Mochu pointed out to me. I turned my head slightly to see through my sunglasses that Miss Mikan Sakura aka Polka was walking towards me smiling. What is she doing?
"Hello Natsume-san!" she exclaimed.
"What are you doing being so familiar with Natsume-kun like that huh Sakura?" Sumire said looking at Mikan's usual goody goody outfit.
"Hello Sumire-san, how is your father doing?" Polka asked Sumire. Sumire didn't respond. Polka then turned her attention to me and said, "I have to leave early today for a doctor's appointment, so you don't have to take me home today."
"Why would I go home with you in the first place?" I sneered at her. I didn't want my friends to know our relationship.
"Well, you have been taking me home the past couple of days…" she said with a weird looking expression on her face.
"WHAT?!?!? NATSUME YOU DOG!" Koko roared patting me on the shoulder.
"Yeah who knew you had a thing for weird girls like her?" Mochu joked. Sumire got in on the laughter as well making Mikan blush just a little bit.
"I don't have a thing for such childish little girls. I like them un-weird." I said smirking, earning another laugh from the three of them. Suddenly, a sharp but soft pain ran across my face in a matter of seconds. When I looked around for the source of the pain, I saw Polka with her hand near my face and her eyes red as blood.
"Consider yourself dumped Natsume Hyuuga." She said walking away fast. The hall way was silent and I suddenly saw Hotaru emerge from a random corner and ran after Mikan. Ruka and the twins came from the corner as well and stood in front of me. They looked at me with disgust.
"Dude, that was truly un-called for. You went too far this time Natsume." Ruka said softly. Looking at my best friend looking at me like that, I knew I had done something wrong, and I knew I had to fix it soon.
The next day, on my birthday, I spent the whole school day looking for Polka. Though my friends wanted to take me out and ditch school (Yes even Ruka.) I refused thinking that I would miss her if I did. Finally, I asked Hotaru, the Ice Queen, where she was after giving her 1,000 rabbits.
"She is at home. She wouldn't tell me what happened at the doctors, but she did say that she was well enough to come to school. Yet it looks like she skipped." She said flatly.
"How come she goes to the doctors so much?" I asked out of curiosity. I remembered she had missed half the school day last week to go to the doctor's office and also the week before. Whenever I asked, she would change the subject on me saying it was nothing.
Hotaru held her hand out indicating that this information would cost more. But since it was my birthday, she let me pay 1,000 rabbits again. Such a nice little girl she is.
"All she told me was that she was getting tested for some new medicine for her colds she has been getting often. But I feel like there is more to her visits." She said looking down at her feet. I guess she was mad at Polka for not telling her about what was happening. After getting information from Hotaru, she shot me with her Baka gun.
"That's for hurting Mikan yesterday. Do that one more time, you will face the rafted of my Baka Canon 2000." She then walked away and went to her car.
I went straight to Polka's house so that I could apologize to her.
After ringing the door bell, Mr. Sakura opens the door and gives me a super death glare.
"Go away Hyuuga. You are no longer welcomed here." He then slammed the door into my face. Even though I lost my practicing partner, I felt like I just lost something way more to me. Maybe, just maybe my sister is right: maybe I do have feeling for Mikan. Well, happy 18th birthday to me.
After a few weeks of practicing by myself and Mikan ignoring me, I felt like this couldn't get any worse. But it did. Why? Because the play would be playing in only one more day. My life was a living hell.
A/N: Thanks for reading! Please review! 3 u! (but not in a creepy way...)
