Ok everyone. This is chapter 4. Enjoy!
"Hi everybody!" Mikan's voice was heard from everyone.
Hotaru, Sumire, Koko, Kitsu, Anna, Nono, Ruka and Yuu turned their heads and saw something shocking.
Hotaru dropped her screw driver on the ground with a 'pang' while the others had their eyes as big as the moon and their mouths wide open.
Standing at the door was Natsume and Mikan holding hands.
Mikan was smiling brightly, maybe the brightest smile she ever shown, and Natsume stayed the same although there was a hint of great happiness in his crimson eyes.
"WHAT THE HELL?" Everybody screamed.
Their scream caught Teru and Akemi's attention. Akemi was shocked at the sight and ran out the classroom trying to control her emotions but it came out bursting in tears.
Anger was bubbling inside Teru. He clenched his fist and glared at Natsume then at their hands clenched together.
He felt like hitting this person with his bare hands, but he wouldn't do that with Mikan around.
He just followed what his sister did and walked out, but he was glaring at Natsume when he walked past him.
Natsume caught his glare but shrugged it off and walked hand in hand with Mikan to their seat.
Ruka was smiling looking at the happy couple while Hotaru showed no expression but had a twinkle in her eye that clearly said 'congrats Mikan, Natsume.'
Nono and Anna were hugging each other with delight while Kitsu and Koko were high-fiving each other.
Sumire and Yuu looked at each other and smiled with great sincerity.
Everyone in the class were happy.
People that didn't know them well, people that were close, even Natsume's fan girls were happy for them.
Who wouldn't? Mikan's smile was as bright as the Sun and Natsume was actually smiling!
Everybody went to their seats the second Narumi sensei walked in.
He was wearing a purple had with black laces and a matching jacket that went over the knees a little and black pants.
He looked good that way since the clothes matched his violet eyes.
"Ok everybody, quiet down. Class is starting." Narumi sensei said with his usual cheerful voice.
They took out our history textbooks and he started reading the first paragraph.
They took turns reading until we were done with that section of history, then Narumi sensei started the questions.
History class was boring, for most but Mikan is different. (Obviously, she's always the different one, but that doesn't necessarily mean it's bad.)
She pays close attention and takes detailed notes. Her grade improved in a short period of time but unfortunately, she is still one of the lowest scores.
After classes everyone stood up to leave when Narumi sensei clapped his hands to get everyones attention again.
"Please don't forget that on Monday next week we will have a school trip to Yokohama for five days. You are dismissed." Everybody gathered around and started buzzing with excitement.
"Oh my god! I can't wait 'till Monday!" Sumire squealed and the others nodded in agreement.
Natsume just grunted and stayed in his seat.
Ruka sat with him petting his bunny but when he saw Mikan walking towards them he stood up and joined his chatting friends.
"Natsume, are you feeling all right?" Mikan asked worried by the gloomy face Natsume has, although basically he always have that face on.
"I'm fine Mikan. Just a little tired." Natsume smiled at her and Mikan beamed.
His smile was warm and it made her feel even happier.
"I can't wait 'till the trip!"
"Yeah, yeah." Mikan missed Natsume's answer and his face getting grumpier.
On Monday...
"Ok everybody, you all have your luggages?" Sensei asked with a smile on his face.
He was wearing a black shirt with two pieces of white cloth with laces at the end of the shirt. His collar was also white with laces and he was wearing plaid, light purple pants.
He had a small, black beanie on the side of his head and he looked good like that. (Surprisingly.)
Everybody was buzzing and talking. They didn't even bother to quiet down their voices.
Akemi and Teru were talking together when Natsume and Mikan walked by with their hands intertwined.
Akemi looked like her heart was ripped out while Teru was furious. He eyed the couple closely before turning his attention somewhere else.
After 30 minutes of organizing (for the teacher) and chatting (for the students) they finally lined up to go on their busses.
Mikan, Natsume, Hotaru and Ruka were sitting together at the back, Nono and Anna in front of the four, Kitsu and Koko next to them and last but not least Sumire and Yuu in front of the others.
They were chatting happily while Mikan was clinging onto Hotaru's neck and shaking her due to her excitement.
Hotaru got annoyed and hit her on the head with her invention, the Deer Hoof Glove.
"Would you shut up? Go bother someone else." Hotaru told her in her usual cold voice and took out her novel.
"Hotaru you're so mean!" Mikan cried and went to hug Natsume.
Now, Natsume is not very good at comforting people and he especially don't know what to say. So the best he could do was to pet Mikan's head slowly trying to calm her down.
It sure worked well. She stopped crying and looked into Natsume warm, crimson eyes.
"Sorry for wetting your shirt." Mikan said with a small voice.
Natsume shook his head in reply and looked out the window.
Ruka was silently chuckling while his bunny had his ears up in alert since he never been to a different place before.
After all the students came on the bus, Narumi sensei came in as well.
"All right everyone. Lets have a safe trip and have a great time. You may eat and drink but please don't spill or litter." And with that he sat down in the front seat and the bus started moving.
It was very rare for them to leave the school and go to a place where thousands of people are.
They left the giant school gates and went on the road.
Before they left, Mikan and Hotaru switched seats so now Mikan was sitting next to the window.
She opened the window and let the cool breeze whip up her pigtails.
She was watching so many people walk by, the malls and different building and shops.
All the things she never seen seen before passing by her eyes made her so happy.
Koko and Kitsu were making jokes and making everyone laugh. Nono and Anna were singing making everyone laughing and singing along.
They were all sharing snacks and chatting.
"Hey, what do you guys think the hotels will be like?" Nono asked to whoever is listening. Kitsu shrugged.
"I hope it's gonna be awesome with a giant swimming pool!" Koko said with a wide grin.
Hotaru continued to read her novel.
After 20 minutes most people were asleep.
Mikan was sleeping on Hotaru's shoulder while Hotaru rested her head on Mikan's.
Natsume put his manga on his face with his head leaning back on the seat. His arms were crossed in front of him and no one could really tell if he was asleep.
Ruka was leaning on the window glass sleeping while his bunny was lying on him.
After 50 minutes of the bus ride...
"Alright everyone! Time to wake up!" Narumi sensei's cheerful as ever voice woken all the sleepy students.
Natsume took his manga away from his face and rubbed his eyes.
He was grumpy since he was awoken from his beauty sleep. (Haha weird to call a boys' sleep 'beauty sleep' isn't it?)
"WE'RE HERE!" Mikan's over excited, high pitched voice woke up the people that aren't fully awake.
Students were looking out the window and chatting about how it will look like.
The bus door slid open and the students went out one by one.
They followed Narumi sensei into the hotel lobby and waited for him to help them checkup.
This was a very fancy hotel, at least the lobby was fancy.
It has polished, white marble floor and walls with golden patterns and designs that won't make your eyes tired from looking at it.
10 minutes later, Narumi came and gave everyone partner a key card and told them their rooms.
Natsume was with Ruka, Mikan with Hotaru, Nono with Anna, Kitsu with Koko, Sumire with Wakako (her best friend.) Yuu with Mochiage.
All the students went to their rooms.
Mikan and Hotaru opened their room door on the 6th floor and revealed a gorgeous room.
The living room had a long, milky brown, soft sofa, a giant plasma TV, and an awesome view to the beach.
In the bedroom it has 2 queen size beds with silky, sky blue and comfortable sheets and a very soft and squishy mattress.
The bathroom was huge. It had a place to shower, a bathtub and accessories for spa and a spotless white sink with gold taps.
They also have a study room with an adjustable wall in the middle so they don't get in each others way.
They stared in awe at their wonderful room.
"Hey Mikan, how's your room?" Mikan broke out of her trance and turned to the direction of the voice.
She broke into a smile when she saw Natsume and Ruka coming their way.
"It's beautiful." Mikan answered with a giant grin in her face.
Natsume peeked inside and told her that it looked similar to theirs.
"Where's your room Natsume, Ruka?" Mikan curiously asked.
They both pointed to the room next door and said in unison.
"Next to yours." Mikans' eyes grew wide.
She jumped in joy and took Hotaru's hand.
She dragged her into a small 'dance' when Hotaru's patience snapped. She used her free hand to take out her Baka Cannon.
'Uh oh...' Natsume and Ruka both said. Even his bunny dragged his ears in front of his eyes so he couldn't see.
"Baka Baka Baka Baka" Four pink fists shot out of the cannon and went straight to her face.
"OW! What was that for?" Mikan asked holding her face in pain.
Ruka looked horrified while Natsume went and examined her face.
"Mikan, you look fine. Does it hurt?" Natsume asked.
Even people that are deaf can hear the worry in his voice although he didn't show it on his face.
"Its ok. I'm used to it." Mikan started arguing with Hotaru but all the reasons were at Hotaru's side so Mikan ended up repeating the same reason in a stubborn way.
Hotaru got so annoyed by her whining voice she had to get away.
She rolled her eyes and walked away.
"Hotaru, where are you going!?" Mikan yelled at her best friend.
Hotaru pretended she couldn't hear and walked into the elevator.
"Hotaru's so mean..." Ruka and Natsume sweat-dropped and looked at the whining Mikan.
"Uh...hey, why don't we go look around the hotel?" Ruka suggested breaking the awkward moment.
Mikan lifted her head and spun around on her heels. Her eyes were gleaming with excitement and adventure.
"Yeah! Go go lets go!" Ruka and Natsume sweat-dropped again with that lame statement but nodded in agreement and walked around with Mikan.
On the 4th floor there was a gigantic gym with all sorts of things.
There were treadmills, elliptical machines, stair steppers, rowing machines, stationary bikes, and way more. It was amazing.
On the 2nd floor there was a big spa.
It had all kinds of things. They had body treatment, salt glow, body wrap, all kinds of things.
Outside there was a garden/park with all sorts of trees and flowers. Winding paths were there for normal walks.
On path led to the west were there was a beautiful indoor swimming pool. It was very big with changing rooms. Lockers, sinks, shower rooms are all the best.
Nearby there was a small playground for little children. This was a total paradise.
Everyone had theirs eyes wide open in shock.
"Awesome! There's a giant swimming pool!" Koko and Kitsu exclaimed right next to the three. They jumped in surprise and glared at the two.
"When did you come here?" Mikan asked after shaking off the fright that they gave her. Koko and Kitsu just shrugged and grinned.
"We are ninjas!" They both laughed at their statement and made Ruka and Natsume roll their eyes. Mikan started laughing along and making jokes with the two other idiots.
Natsume got annoyed and just simply hooked one arm around her neck and pulled her away. He threw her into her room and stormed off.
"What did I do wrong!?" Mikan cried to the closed door and jumped into her bed.
'Meanie...' and then she drifted off to sleep.
"BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP"
"AH! WHO? WHAT? WHEN? WHERE? WHY?" Mikan popped up from her bed hearing the beeping sounds that were as loud as a hundred elephants stomping.
"Calm down, Mikan. What was the 5 w's for?" Hotaru was sitting on Mikan's bed holding something that looks suspiciously like an alarm clock.
"Uh...hahaha. Did you wake me up?" Mikan asked curiously at the thing Hotaru was holding.
"Yeah. We have to go down to the lobby in 30 minutes." Hotaru said showing a text message Narumi sensei sent her. "Hurry up and go get ready." Mikan nodded and stood up.
"I'm gonna go take a shower~" Mikan cheerfully said and went into the bathroom.
After about 15 minutes she came out and got dressed.
She was wearing a violet T-shirt and simple jeans but somehow she looked gorgeous.
10 minutes later Hotaru and Mikan were at the lobby waiting for the others.
Hotaru hates being late but she also hates waiting for people. That is why she brought her mini laptop along. There was super fast wi-fi so she could surf the internet.
After 5 minutes of waiting, students started to appear.
The first ones were Natsume and Ruka, the second were Nono and Anna, the third was Yuu and Mochiage, then Sumire and Wakako, the 5th was Koko and Kitsu.
Soon everyone came down and started gathering and chatting.
Narumi sensei came down dressed in a milky brown suit with a pink shirt inside and a blue tie half done. (Which make him look sort of cool.)
He was wearing matching milky brown pants and a small cap on the side of his head. He had his famous smile and cheerful attitude.
"Ok everybody. I will now take you to the dinning hall. Please follow me in an orderly fashion." He turned around and started walking. Everyone went 2 by 2 and followed sensei.
They entered a big room with long tables. There were at least 3 buffets and awesome drinks.
"From now on, everyone has to be here by 6o'clock for dinner and 8 for breakfast. Enjoy!" And with that everyone went and found a seat.
After finding seats they all went to get food. There were all sorts of food. There were pasta, sandwiches, rice, chicken, pork, beef, vegetables, sushi and lots, LOTS more.
There were many kinds of drinks too. Mountain Dew, apple juice, orange juice, Sprite, punch and many others.
Everyone was eating and drinking happily.
There was bound to be something that you liked to eat and drink here.
At eight o'clock everyone was finished eating. Students started standing up and leaving to their rooms.
They wanted to get some good night sleep before the tour starts tomorrow. Mikan was one of those people who wanted to sleep.
*Yawn* "Hotaru, can we go back to our room now? I'm tired." Mikan asked hoping Hotaru will say yes. Hotaru looked at Mikan and sighed.
"Alright. Come on, lets go." Hotaru stood up followed by Mikan.
"Natsume, Ruka, aren't you guys going to your rooms?" Mikan asked seeing that they haven't budged.
"I wanted to go outside and walk for awhile first. See you guys tomorrow." Natsume smiled and kissed Mikan on the forehead. Ruka and Hotaru both shivered and turned around.
"Wait! Hotaruuuuu!" Mikan yelled scurrying to catch up with her best friend.
When they arrived in their rooms, Mikan quickly changed into her pajamas.
The second she hit the pillow she fell asleep. Who wouldn't? The pillow was like the cloud and the mattress was so soft and comfortable. It was hard to resist not falling asleep. Hotaru smiled at her sleeping friend and lied down.
"Good night Mikan." Hotaru whispered and turned off the lights.
"BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP" Mikan grunted and turned to her side. She pulled the sheets up until her head was buried inside the sheets.
"BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP BEEP" The 'alarm clock' continued to beep until Mikan couldn't take it anymore. She pushed herself up and squinted at the light.
"How long do you want to sleep? Half an hour before eight. Hurry!" Hotaru scolded as Mikan grumpily got up and headed to the bathroom.
"Your new invention is so loud..."
"Duh, of course. It has to be this loud to wake up a pig like you."
"HOTARU!" Mikan went over and threw a pillow at her. (Not the most harmful weapon.)
Hotaru used her arms as a shield and smirked.
Mikan stormed into the bathroom and slammed the door shut.
After 20 minutes of a warm shower she got changed into a sleeveless sky blue shirt with many layers. She wore a short jeans mini skirt and tied her hair into a pony tail.
She put on her famous smile and walked outside.
Hotaru was already ready and waiting for Mikan.
Hotaru smiled a little and stood up.
"Ok, lets go."
Oh my goodness this is the longest chapter yet I think. But I'm not sure since I still have to review and shorten the paragraphs of my other chapters. R&R Guys!
