Chapter 3 The Rumor
Hey everyone! Hope you enjoy this chapter! Sorry it's kinda short, but the next chapter will be longer, hopefully:)
Normal POV
Mikan causally walking into the room glanced at the board to see if there were any announcements or anything. And then stopped dead in her tracks. She stood there staring at the board for a while with shock. Then Natsume came in. Mikan ran out the door.
Mikan's POV
I walked in class. It was a normal kind of day. Nothing new so I checked the daily announcements. Eh, nothing new there either.
Wait did that say what I thought it said.
I gasped. I was speechless. When I looked back at the board I saw something unexpected a-an- and true. I glimpsed at my classmates.
They were whispering to each other, looking at me.
Natsume walked in. I felt so embarrassed and after that I couldn't bear to even look at him. I ran out as fast as I could to get away from everyone.
Natsume's POV
When I walked into the class Mikan looked at me for a second and ran out the door past me. She brushed my shoulder slightly and I could kind of see her hidden face that was looking down. She was flushed. What had happened?
As I walked away from the doorway more there were people whispering and staring at me. It was creepy.
"What the hell? Why is everyone staring at me?" I asked
Ruka came over to me and pointed to the board while my eyes followed his finger.
On the board as clear as daylight it said….
Mikan LOVES Natsume
I basically blew up. After all Hotaru is the only one who knows the truth and she wouldn't breathe a word about it. AND people ACTULLY believed it because of the incident yesterday with Luna getting hurt! They thought Mikan did it for revenge!
"Who the hell had the guts to write this crap? When I find out their gonna wish they were dead! What the fuck? Why would this be true anyways?"
A couple of screams and bad words later
I remembered Mikan running out. I raced out the door to try and find her. She's probably hiding somewhere I can't find her. Wait, the girl's bathroom!
"Hey!" I shouted out to some girls that were standing near me. "Can you check if my sister Sakura Mikan is in there?"
They said that they would and checked but came out saying she wasn't there.
Where was she?
Mikan's POV
Natsume would know if I hide in the girl's bathroom.
I pasted a dark closet while I was running away and went back to see. No one would look there. It was an old janitor's closet, a storage room that's not used anymore, whatever you want to call it.
I sat on a box there for a while after the 1st bell rang, thinking.
How did this happen? Now everyone believes it too. It is true. I love Natsume. I'll admit it, but how does everyone else know too?
I think I just need a break from school, from my friends, from my life as it is now. I don't want people thinking stuff like that about me. Stuff about siblings in love. Incest. Whatever ya wanna call it.
I looked outside toward the cool breezes and colorful leaves floating down. I just feel like going home right now.
So I did.
I walked home. I left school behind, friends, teachers, and Natsume. It's not like I'm not coming back I'll just stay home pretending I'm sick for like three days. Then I'll come back.
As I walked in the front door my dad was sitting at the counter.
"Oh, it was a half day?" He asked.
"Err, um, sure, yeah it was a half day."
"Where's Natsume? Oh wait I forgot. I'm so used to him being with you I forgot that he's living at his friend's house temporarily."
Yeah that was another lie. He lives with Luna not his friends. Of course her parents are there thinking he has nowhere to go so they let him stay. And since their parents work at home they're there 24/7 so Luna can't do anything to him. But still, that's just messed up. I mean why in the first place would Luna's parents let him stay?
"Mikan!" My dad shouted as I started to walk up the stairs. "Come back I have a surprise for you!"
I came back down stairs curious to see what it was.
"Your mom called today."
Well, you see my parents are divorced. I live with my dad in Japan. My stepmom is Natsume's mom. Her ex- husband cheated on her, so she married my dad. She passed away 2 years ago though. After that my dad said that he's not marrying anyone else because he had bad luck with marriage and whatever. For example, he says his first wife basically dumped him for a better life and his other wife died.
And for my mom, well, she lives far away. She lives in well….
"She asked if you would like to come stay at her place in America for the rest of the school year to visit her."
Yep, she lives in America.
Wait, she wants me to come to America?
"What!"
Hehe. Cliffhanger. Hope you liked this chapter. Don't worry the next one will be longer. I'll update soon so you're not like hanging cause I hate when authors leave you on a cliffhanger and forget to write more or update every other month. But no worries I'm already working on the new chapter.
Oh yeah…..
