Tell me that you care and you never do lie
Fighting for my honor but I just don't know why
Your Honor~ Regina Spector
Summer vacation had started and everyone had plans, of course. Natsume was spending the first month over at Ruka's place, and even his parents were going to visit some old friend, Yuka...Yuka something he didn't bother with remembering the last name since he was busy packing his bag. "Okay chargers, underwear, laptop, clothes, and phone. I've got everything I need." He zipped his bag and went out into the living room.
His little sister sat on top of the counter eating an apple, "Get down from there before you fall," he said grabbing the keys to his car.
"Oh brother you're no fun," she hoped off and threw her apple away.
"Are done packing? Have you got everything? Your stuffed toy?" he asked as they walked out of their house when their parents honked.
"Yes brother I have everything, and I am not eight anymore I don't sleep with stuffed bears" she rolled her eyes slightly getting in the car with her parents.
"Alright," he said and ruffled her hair and she placed a small peck on his cheek.
Natsume got into his own car and took the long drive to Ruka's house. He pulled into Ruka's drive way where he sat on his porch waiting for him. He got out and looked around, he couldn't help but notice a familiar SUV parked in the house across the street. His eyebrows furrowed, "Yo, Ruka, who lives there?" he asked grabbing his duffel bag from the back seat and signaling at the house across the street with his thumb, his curiosity getting the best of him.
"The Sakuras, why?" Ruka answered leading Natsume through the front door and up the stairs to his room.
"Yuka Sakura lives there?"
"Yeah, how'd you know?" Ruka opened the door to his well organized room.
"Uh, my parents are old friends and they're staying there for a while," he shrugged dumping his bag on the floor, "Who knew?"
"Wanna go say hi or something?" Asked Ruka pulling his phone out of his pocket.
"Nah, maybe tomorrow." Natsume replied slumping down on Ruka's bottom bunk.
Ruka shrugged and connected his phone to his speakers blasting You Me At Six and tossing Natsume the latest volume of his favorite manga .
Mikan heard the door bell ring just as she had finished putting on mascara, "Who am I meeting again?" She asked from the top of the stairs.
"The Hyuuga's, honey," her mum hollered back before opening the door with a wide smile and greeting the people on the other side.
Mikan stopped dead in her tracks. What were the odds that her mum's best friends happened to be related to the most fawned over boy at her school. She could only hope he wasn't about to walk through her front door. One, two, three...only three Hyuuga's and none that wore that annoying smirk and air of superiority that suffocated everyone with in a three mile radius.
She greeted her mum's friends with a hug and a bright smile as they walked through the door. Mr. Hyuuga ruffled her hair, "My God you're so big now! Last time your mum sent us a picture you were still in pig tails and had missing teeth!" He said excitedly as she blushed under the attention.
"And look at those legs!" Mrs. Hyuuga exclaimed as she twirled Mikan around.
Mikan thanked them for the compliments and looked over at the third Hyuuga she had welcomed into her home. She had the same raven hair and crimson eyes as her brother except she smiled brightly at Mikan something the only Hyuuga she knew would never even think of doing. "Onee-chan, you are super pretty! Unlike all the girls my brother invites over, they're all super ugly and put on too much make up and perfume it's terrible!" The younger girl whined, "My name's Aoi, by the way, what's yours?"
"Oh my. Why thank you Aoi, you have such a lovely name. I'm Mikan," Mikan smiled down at the younger teen.
"Ah," Mrs. Hyuuga interrupted, "Mikan, you go to the Alice Academy right?" Mikan nodded once, "Do you happen to know my son, Natsume? How is he doing in school, he never talks to me anymore," she finished with a pout.
"Natsume-kun? Yeah, everybody knows him. He's known as the schools special star, for being good at everything. We have a few classes together and he seems very popular and well liked by everyone and he reads a lot. So you've got nothing to worry about Mrs. Hyuuga he's doing well," Mikan said with a smile.
"Oh, that's a relief! And please just call me Kaoru, Mikan-chan. Oi, Yuka do you think we should tell her?" Kaoru said as Yuka walked into the living room with a tray of sliced fruit.
"Hmmm, yeah, I guess it's time." Mikan's mum said as she set down the tray on the coffee table and gestured for everyone to take a seat in the living room.
"Tell me what?" Mikan asked raising a brow before placing a slice of watermelon in her mouth.
"We are planning on you and Natsume getting married later on!" Kaoru said clapping her hands together with excitement.
"W-what?!" Mikan stuttered nearly choking on the fruit.
"Well, I figured since you only get the inheritance your father left you after you've gotten married I figured you should marry a nice boy like Natsume." Mikan's mum explained as if it was the most logical thing ever.
"Mum, I will not! I mean he's good looking and all but no thanks! He's mega annoying and he's…" The adults erupted into laughter in the middle of her argument. She look at the other teenager who looked just as puzzled as her and shrugged.
The adults laughed at their own inside joke while Mikan lead Aoi into her room where they shut out their parents hysterical laughter.
For the rest of the day the two teens just sat in Mikan's room and they talked about the obvious, boys. They were quick in becoming friends and confined in each other about how they've already had their first kiss and how it was a very disappointing event. Mikan wasn't sure how but eventually they got into the topic of Natsume, "My big brother, Natsume, is such loser he has an endless list of girls lined up to be his, but he literally gives them like two hours of attention. I mean I love him and all but usually they are just really stupid girls who don't mind being used," Aoi sigh and took a chip from a bowl Mikan's mum had brought in earlier.
"How does he balance school, sports, good looks, and girls?" Mikan asked a bit astonished at the fact he could do way more than her in the same amount of hours.
"He learns fast and he obviously has someone doing his homework. The good looks kind of run in the family I guess but I really don't know how he does everything all in one day," Aoi shrugged.
There was a knock on the door and Yuka came in after Mikan opened the door. She told her daughter that she was to share her room with Aoi and gave her a halfhearted apology about the afternoon joke which only made her start laughing again as she was pushed out the room saying a quick goodnight before the door was slammed shut behind her.
Mikan let out a heavy breath and returned to her bed and she suddenly had a weird idea, "Hey, I've got this friend I want you to meet tomorrow he's super cool, and he's the same age as you so how about we have like a picnic and stuff tomorrow so I can introduce you guys?"
Aoi gave a tired yawn and gave a slight nod before drifting off to dreamland. Mikan smirked to herself because she knew the two would get along quite well.
I am so sorry the ending to this sucks but I promise the next one will be better and will come faster. I've just haven't had the computer to myself much so yeah. Anyway I hope you enjoy it and look forward to the next update :D Thanks for reading and please leave a review I'd appreciate it very much. Till next time xoxo
