Thanks for all the reviews/comments you've given me! It surely made my day/s :D

DISCLAIMER: I don't own GA. Only the plot of this story is what I own.

Red Lining
Chapter 5

"What's that?"

Mikan smiled to herself. Finally her friend, Hotaru, had seen the goodness of her wicked plan.

She started talking while her back was still facing the person she was talking to. "Haven't you remembered what I was telling you yesterday?"

Natsume looked puzzled. What was this girl saying?

Mikan sighed but continued on. "Well, if you can't remember, I might as well refresh your eager mind."

Eager?

Mind?

Natsume looked weirdly at her but he let her continue without saying anything.

"I'm making this smoothie that will blow off that bratty Natsume who thinks everything that he walks on is his!" Mikan said hitting the table with her knuckles. "Grr… I could almost kill him this instance!"

Natsume stared at Mikan for awhile. So the smoothie was for him after all… wait—

Who said he was bratty?!

"So, where were you, Hotaru…?" Mikan soon turned around and what she saw shocked her.

She was now face to face with the glaring ruby eyes she was talking evilly about.

"Do I sound like a girl to you?"

Mikan was surprise with the sudden bellowing of the boy that she incidentally splashed the smoothie on Natsume's face.

She hadn't realized what she'd done until it was already done.

Ooh… she wanted to turn back time so badly.

She had actually splashed the contents of the smoothie at a rockstar!

It was the end of her.

----------

"They're going to blow up each other, I tell you."

Ruka and Hotaru made their way to the classroom where Hotaru said she had left Mikan.

"I feel that what you've just thought is actually happening right now." Hotaru stated as they went to a stop.

"Maybe, we should get your manager first."

Ruka nodded, "Good idea."

---------

Mikan wanted to jump away from the boy (who looked like a monster who's going to eat her as soon as he gets his claws on her) but instead of having thought, she just wanted to laugh.

Natsume's face was cold while the ends of his hair were dripping from the stickiness of the smoothie. The smoothie had soon dripped on his expensive black shirt and on his favorite shoes.

The nerve…

"Sorry, my fingers slipped." Mikan smiled. It's the least she could do for revenge.

Natsume would very much be in cloud 9 right now if the girl in front of her gets killed. He wanted to strangle her until she was out of breath but something caught his eyes.

The blender with the leftover smoothie she had made had caught his eyes.

He smirked as he got it and poured it over on Mikan's head.

Mikan was frozen to the spot.

The smoothie was cold against her skin and her clothes soon absorbed it making her shiver.

"What did you do that for?!" Mikan hissed as she shivered again.

"My fingers must have slipped."

Mikan glared at him.

Natsume returned it with a smile.

"Why you…"

Mikan stepped toward him but being the clumsy girl she was, she slipped and fell pushing Natsume with her.

Natsume fell first while Mikan crashed down on top of him.

Natsume groaned. "You're heavy…"

Mikan couldn't stop glaring at him as she sat up, straddling his waist. "You moron! This is your entire fault!"

"And how did this become my fault? You were the one who pushed me!"

"You…" Mikan said her face getting red from anger.

Natsume smirked.

He knew he won again.

"Mikan!"

"Natsume!"

"What has happened here?!"

Both Mikan and Natsume stared at the shocked faces of the people who were now lingering at the door.

They stared at one another and blushed. Mikan just now realized the position they were in…

Mikan blushed deeper as she pulled herself up.

"It's not what you think—"

Mikan tried explaining at the same time Natsume started groaning.

"She tried abusing me. I couldn't do anything…"

Mikan glared at him who was clearly acting.

Who would believe in his dumb act anyway?

The people at the door looked like they believed it.

"Mikan, office now." The principal said.

"Natsume, come with me." Tsubasa said.

--------

The news about them at room 206, alone, spread like wildfire throughout the school.

Even from the outside of the school gates, writers from magazines such as Stepping Stones and CDD which stands for Celebrity Do's and Don'ts came crashing as the rumors spread like virus.

The writers and media people who were not allowed inside the school interviewed students who wanted to get their 15 seconds of fame with the use of the rumors going about.

"So what's your name?" The interviewer asked.

"I'm Sumire, the prettiest girl in Alice Academy! Hahaha!"

The interviewer laughed fakely. "Ah, so… Sumire. What do you know from the rumors about room 206?"

"Oh… that… Natsume-kun was clearly saying the truth. That Mikan Sakura was really trying to do something to him. Thank goodness someone came in to stop her…"

Others versions of the rumor came like this:

"I heard that they were actually kissing…"

"My friend said that they were all covered with some yellowish liquid which I think was a smoothie of some kind…"

"I think Mikan was trying to kiss him and Natsume was trying to push her away…"

"I heard someone say that the liquid that had covered them was actually something Mikan was trying to make him drink so that she could get her way with him…"

A well-known newscaster said:

"Well, here you have heard the different rumors inside the Alice Academy. What would be your verdict? I'm Rika Hanazaki, live at Alice Academy gates. Right back to you Reyna!"

The principal sighed as he turned off the television. He turned around and saw the still-dirty Mikan who was sending daggers at Natsume who had changed his clothes and was clean enough in appearance.

"Okay... Because of your hospitality towards this boy, I'm glad to have you for detention everyday after school for two hours."

"What? I didn't do anything bad, Mr. Naru—"

"And you shall accompany Natsume and help him out in coping here in our lovely school…"

"You can't do that—"

"I can, dear Mikan."

"I didn't…"

"I know you are telling the truth. Natsume here had told me what had happened."

Mikan glanced at Natsume who in return looked seriously at Mr. Narumi.

Why did he do that? He had actually helped her in a small way... maybe she should apologize.

"I'm giving you this punishment so that you will be able to realize that making smoothies with unknown ingredients is bad and that you should also realize the consequences of your actions."

Mikan nodded.

Natsume sniggered enough for only Mikan to hear.

Okay, let's take back the apologizing thing.

Mikan threw daggers at him.

He looked at her and winked.

The people around the room looked at them.

Was Natsume actually flirting with Mikan?

And was Mikan actually blind to not see it?

Mikan looked away.

All of her plans backfired on her.

Instead of making the rockstar's life into hell she had managed to turn hers into something much worse than hell.

Mikan stared back at him with a very dirty look.

Oh… he was so dead.

Did you like it?

Was it long enough?
