It took them like an hour to set the things in Mikan's room. After which mikan insisted on taking a bath and of course Natsume had to wait as she had no clue where to go after that.

Mikan surprisingly had a quick bath and Natsume was thrown of track when she came out of the bathroom smelling like oranges. Natsume was really starting to stare at mikan.

Hello Natsume, are you there we need to go.

Huh, yeah let's go...

Natsume (stupid girl why the hell is she so intoxicating?)

Mikan (he has changed, and he is so cute, wish I could figure out why my heart is thumping!)

All of a sudden mikan tripped over and Natsume caught her, and there she was in Natsume's arms staring into his eyes

And there they were holding on to each other and staring into each others eyes…

When everything seemed to be perfect when:

Ahem!

And Natsume dropped Mikan in shock and mikan fell down on the hard ground.

"Ouch,

Hey what's your problem why did u drop me? You idiot"

Don't you want to have dinner mikan? Came Hotaru `s voice. And next to her Ruka was rolling on the ground," yeah, Natsume don't you want to have dinner?"

"Shut up Ruka "and with out another word Natsume walked away leaving mikan on the ground

"Hey Hotaru can you help me up?"

"Come on you lazy lumps I'm hungry!" cried Ruka.

On the way to dining hall mikan looked really thoughtful and then she decided to voice her thoughts out to Hotaru and Ruka, Ruka probably knows what's wrong.

"Hey Ruka, is it just me or has Natsume changed a lot?"

Ruka looked at mikan as if she had just shot him...

Ruka," I see you noticed a change, may be I'm not the right person to tell you guys. And Natsume might probably kill me if I tell any one..."

Mikan, "oh!"

Hotaru, "so mikan a sudden interest in Natsume, ahh interesting"

Mikan," shut up, Hotaru. But he has changed a lot, may be ill ask him later on."

Hotaru," for once mikan you are right."

Mikan turned away and wondered what had happened to he childhood rival, that shine in his eyes was gone, wonder why?

Mikan observed Natsume throughout the week and noticed a lot of change in her childhood nemesis.

On Tuesday, in math class, mikan looked at the sleeping form of Natsume next to her.

Since when did he start sleeping in class, he did know everything but he still paid attention in class, he never actually went to sleep in class!! That was so unlike the Natsume she knew a few years ago.

Had coming to this school changed him so much? Ruka was still the same.

This wasn't the only change she noticed in Natsume, he hardly ever ate properly, to hell with eating, he rarely spoke!! That was soooo not the guy who beat in every test. He never even told her once that he was smarter than her! There were marks on his legs and hands, she was sure there were more on his body. There WERE more on his body; she had seen him coming out of the swimming pool the other day. Speaking of Natsume`s body, it was complete drool material,

Stop thinking!!

Ok so there was something definitely wrong with Natsume and she was GOING to find out what it was!

"Hey, polka incase you`ve not noticed, class is over" came Natsume`s voice.

Mikan looked up to see that she was the only one left in class, except Natsume of course.

"Ha, yeah, I'm going." She said as she picked up her books and walked out of class, throwing on last look at Natsume, who had decided to jump out of the class window rather than use the stairs.

He never did that too!
