It's a good day. I'm so distraught. Whoa. Chill. Cool down.
I appreciated all your reviews. Thank you very, very much. From the bottom of my heart. Seeing them made most of my day.

Her Favorite Boy

Chapter 2: To Be With You
"You do realize how idiotic your idea is, right?" he asked her incredulously as she hastily wore the devil mask over her face. Her look sent shivers to his spine.
"It's our only way out. Even your coldest glare can't stop them right now." Mikan replied and handed him another mask, even worse than what she wore. He took it carefully but she pushed it to his face that he fell down.
"Is that really necessary? And hey what're you doing?" Natsume's expression turned from sour to surprise when she took off her uniform, leaving her wearing sando and shorts. Natsume snorted.
"Hmmm… As I expected nothing interesting. I'm ri—"he was cut off when she threw him a scary costume, and saw her wearing hers.
"So we're pretending as demons." Natsume concluded and wore the suit. Mikan got a match, and then placed it near their costumes.
"What are you doing? Are you in-"Mikan placed a finger over his lips, signaling him to keep quiet and listen. Footsteps were heard just outside the door.
"Where did they go? I swear I saw them turn here." A feminine voice said irritably. Natsume turned and mouthed Sumire and they got ready. Any time now, someone will discover them.
"Mikan is somewhere here. Idiot Permy,there's a door behind us, maybe they're here." A male voice replied haughtily, and they both knew it was Tamaki. Someone twisted the door knob and Mikan hunched over and Natsume snarled. The hitched breaths of their soon to be captors excited them. The door was wide open and the newcomers screamed.
"Estuy mo riyada el tombre sikedo, la'corda enfadado derimiens." Mikan said harshly in a low voice. Natsume followed suit, and Sumire together with Tamaki screamed again but froze on the spot.
"Quirida colustesas onmiquo diremi ka!" Natsume snarled and open his mouth with fangs. There were screams and the two scared students ran away. Mikan laughed silently and Natsume did too.
"They're speaking something! Demons!" Sumire's scream echoed along the corridor and they both cracked.
"Shall we chase them? You know the made up words did their job." Natsume asked and Mikan shook her head. Natsume frowned at her and she smiled mischievously.
"Well, just for a little while. Let's have a different Valentine's day." They readjusted their costumes and ran after their fans.
It's time for them to taste their own medicine.
Gakuen Alice Times
Demons?
There's always a story behind every school. Every dark corridor that you pass every day, every classroom you enter. They were called 'just rumors'.Many doubted, but the stories lay, unforgotten.
These kinds of happenings aren't new to us. We might have watched a horror movie, a chick flick perhaps, and it didn't scare you one bit. But what if the rumors are true? What if they really happen in real life? On our search, we managed to interview one of the most popular students in this academy. The ever-beautiful Shouda Sumire, who claimed that they have encountered demons, in the costume room, room 415, Left wing, last Tuesday, February 14.
'I was looking for Natsume-kun that morning, 'cause he asked me for a date. Of course I didn't refuse. I am the only girl destined to be with Natsume, I know. We're always together, and he texts me every night, telling me how much he loves me.[interview, short-cut]'Okay , okay. I was looking for him when I happened to pass Tamaki-san, and I asked him if he saw my Natsume-kun. He helped me look for him and, I don't know, we just, kind of, landed in the dark corridor where, we saw the room, hey, keep it a secret, the room where Natsume-kun and I do.. Things. Okay, where we make out. Both I and Tamaki called out and knocked but nothing happened. Then the door burst open and we came face to face with two horrid beings. I was scared but I didn't scream, I kept my cool. Then the shorter being spoke low in a different language and the scarier one followed after, but in a harsher voice. They bared their fangs, those long, sharp fangs, oohh, it's scary. Tamaki screamed and ran, and I really don't want to run away, I can surely defeat those demons but I ran anyway after Tamaki.'
We weren't able to interview Tamaki-san, for he refuses to take part on this article etc. Sumire-chan, on the other hand, agreed to publish this.
Fellow students, be wary. 'Cause every school has its haunted story, just hidden, and Gakuen Alice is definitely, no exception. And if ever you try to walk on that corridor, make sure you're prepared. Eyes may follow your movements, but don't look over your shoulder. Instead, be ready to run away, fast.
Two people stopped reading and looked at each other.
"This is the most ridiculous article that I have ever read!" Mikan burst in laughter as Natsume snorted.
"Yeah. Who knew this kind of story will be published? Now it will be the talk of the whole school." He smiled his rare smile and stared up the sky.
"It was my idea, after all." Mikan continued to laugh while he just looked at the clear, blue sky contentedly.
"Hey Natsume, remember when we first met? Ten years ago?" Mikan asked breaking his train of thoughts. He cringed at the memory and she grinned triumphantly.
"Hn."
"Ooohh. You were crying back then. Then Tamaki and his goons were all around you-" she continued. But he stopped her.
"Okay, okay I remember. And then you acted like a superhero but clearly you weren't." he smirked and she opened her mouth to protest, and closed it again. Natsume raised a perfectly shaped eyebrow.
"What?" she just shrugged and lied down beside him on the hidden and highest spot on the rooftop.
"How's your mom and sister?" she asked after a few minutes of silence.
"Just fine. They're doing alright." He answered plainly and turned to look at her. It was time he led the talk.
"Your father?" Natsume asked and as soon as the words were out he could clearly see, her eyes turned numb, expressionless, and almost hurt. It was always like this. Mikan stared at him and stared.
"I don't know." She replied and looked away. He let it go and was surprised when she continued the most painful subject she can barely tolerate.
"He cancelled our bowling match yesterday. To tell you the truth, I don't have any idea how he is right now. How he looks, how he smiles. I just remember his.." she looked down and didn't continue, for he already knew the answer.
"His eyes. Hey what's wrong with his eyes? Does he have sore eyes or something?" he joked to lighten up the atmosphere. She cracked a smile and punched his arm, hard, that he groaned. He could see the worry in her eyes and she moved closer.
"Hey, sorry. I didn't mean to. I mean, I didn't mean it to be that hard." She mocked and laughed at how red his face became. He pinched her cheek and he laughed this time at her expression.
"Hey, sorry. I didn't mean to. I mean, I didn't mean to squeeze it hard." He mimicked her tone perfectly and she gagged.
"Alright, we're quits." They agreed and headed went back inside. The school was deserted even though it was just four pm.
"Eyes may follow your movements, but don't look over your shoulder. Instead, be ready to run away, fast." Natsume shivered and glared at the giggling brunette beside him. He pinched her and she punched him but they were stopped by a scream of a girl.
They instinctively ran towards the sound. They looked inside the classrooms, in the comfort rooms but no one was there. Only one thing entered their minds.
"The costume room." They chorused and ran towards it. This time, the screaming stopped and moans replaced it. When they reached the room they quietly opened the door, and oh boy, were their eyes wide.
A girl lay on the floor, and a man was clearly above her, kissing her passionately on the neck. The girl, clearly a student, moaned and placed her arms around his neck, as if enjoying the sensation. Natsume and Mikan just stayed on the door, frozen in shock at what they were seeing. The people in front of them don't seem to notice their presence. The man, in his mid-thirties, quickly raised her skirt and went red with pleasure. He reached for what's inside but before he could do anything else. There was a flash and the man lay on the floor, next to the girl, clearly knocked out by Mikan's punch.
Natsume kicked the man again, though he's already unconscious. Both of them turned to look at the girl on the floor.

"Nobara?" Mikan and Natsume asked in disbelief as the girl sat up.
"Umm, Mikan, I can explain.." she answered awkwardly but she caught sight of Natsume gaping in disbelief. She instantly opened her legs wider and pretended to fall on the ground, purposely ripping the buttons off her blouse, now fully open, and her black lace bra was open to all.
Natsume stiffened. And she smiled seductively at him.
"Natsume, c-can you please help me up?" she asked in a seductive whisper and he was about to move when Mikan hastily pulled her to a standing position that she almost lost her balance. She stayed still as Mikan steadied her and regarded her with her brown eyes.
Nobara stayed still but knew better. She pretended to fall on Natsume but before he could catch her—
DUMPH!
Nobara lay unconscious on the floor, with her blackened eye. Mikan eyed her furiously and walked towards the door.
"Sorry. I can't help myself." She said impassively and walked out of the room. Natsume stayed still for a moment and deliberated whether to help Nobara or not.
He couldn't think properly, not after seeing that. But strangely, his legs moved toward the door, and he didn't know why.
Ummm, is it alright? I'm writing the next chapter already. Thank you for those who reviewed.
