CHAPTER 4
NORMAL POV
Classes had already started in Gakuen Alice and right now class 3-A is on their fourth subject before lunch. It is a class filled with students who are on their third year in high school. It is also the same class where Mikan and the gang belong.
"I'm nervous. I can't perform the song in front of the class." Mikan says nervously.
Class 3-A is now on the Music room. It's time for them to perform their own made songs. Ms. Yamada had already started calling up names of partners a while ago.
"Don't you dare mess up the song." Natsume says, emotionless, on his partner.
"Tss. I know. I'm just nervous." Mikan says.
"Stop being nervous, you might forget the lyrics idiot." Natsume decided to tease her just to ease her nervousness. And fortunately she calm down a bit.
"Yes dad." Mikan says sarcastically.
"That's good little girl. Just follow what dad's telling you and you'll be okay." Natsume says, playing along with Mikan's childishness.
"Why should I dad? You're not my mom. MOTHER KNOWS BEST." Mikan says.
"But I'm still your parent because I'm your dad."
From the corner of her eyes Mikan saw that famous smirk on his face. 'Okay he beat me to that. Ugh why does he always have to win over our fights?' Mikan thought.
They are busy talking in low whispers, that's just only the two of them can hear, that that they didn't even heard their names being called by the teacher.
"Ms. Sakura and Mr. Hyuuga are you there? It's your turn." Ms. Yamada says impatiently.
Both of them walks towards the platform and grab their microphones.
'Okay this is it. I can do it.' Mikan tried to cheer herself. "Oh no I can't do this" she muttered under her breath and her partner heard it.
"It's okay. I know you can do it." Natsume says. Those words were enough to give her confidence. Mikan smiled at him and he just nodded. She takes in a deep breath then the background music starts. Mikan has the first verse that's why she's the first one to sing then Natsume will follow.

When they finish the song, their classmates clap them and praise them
"Woo! Natsume you're the best, man!"
"Mikan-chan you have such an angel voice."
"Best partners! They should make songs often!"
"QUIET!" Ms. Yamada yells. The class shut up immediately. "Ms. Sakura and Mr. Hyuuga great job. Go back to your seats. The two said people went back to their seats and Mikan sigh in relief.
"Class. All of you did a really good job. I'm proud of you all. Class dismiss." The teacher went out and so did the students.
"Mikan-chan you're a great singer! And Natsume is a great rapper!" Anna squeals as they continue eating.
"Stop it Anna you're saying those comments for almost 5 times already. You're making me embarrass." Mikan says.
"But I'm just telling the truth!" Anna says.
"Stop it. This idiot might get air-headed." Hotaru says coldly as she eats he crab.
Mikan pout at her bestfriend's words. "Mou Hotaru you meanie."
"Stop pouting baka just eat your food or we'll leave you." She says threateningly while she points her baka gun to the brunette.
Mikan sweatdropped. "Hai hai."
Hotaru had gone ahead of them first. She said that she has some important matter to attend. The other four girls are just done eating and now they are making their way to their classroom. When they entered they saw some of their classmates surrounding Hotaru. Because of curiosity they went near to find out what is the ruckus all about.
"What's the noise all about?" asks the annoyed Sumire.
"Oh Sumire-chan, Imai-san is selling some pictures." The class representative,
"What's the noise all about?" asks the annoyed Sumire.
"Oh Sumire-chan, Imai-san is selling some pictures." The class representative, Yuu, says.
"Pictures?" Mikan asks curiously. "What pictures?" she turned to her bestfriend.
"These." Hotaru held out the pictures she's holding with a smirk on her face. Mikan gasps. In the picture was Natsume carrying Mikan in a bridal style.
"What the…? How did you got these? I thought you left early yesterday." Mikan says.
"I have some cameras here in school." When Hotaru said 'some' Mikan immediately knew that the 'some' Hotaru is talking about is not a little number of her cameras. It meant a lot. Mikan just sigh since there's nothing she can do about it. The intercom buzz that signifies that there will be an announcement.
"Good Afternoon dear students. This is Narumi Anju speaking. We would like to inform you that all the afternoon subjects are cancelled, therefore you can all go home now." When the intercom ended, cheers from students were heard.
Mikan run towards her bestfriend. "Hotarrrrrrruuuuuu! Let's go shopping!" Mikan sounded like she is some kind of spoiled brat. And Hotaru DOESN'T like spoiled brats.
"Shut it baka. I don't have time to waste doing stupid things with you." Hotaru meant it harmlessly, but Mikan took it deeply.
"You don't have to be that mean to me, you know." She says then she run outside, tears streaming down her face, not knowing where to go until she spotted a two-sided bench (a/n: the bench is back to back) that is isolated.
When Mikan was out of sight Hotaru sigh. "She jumped into wrong conclusions."
Mikan sat down the bench and continued sobbing. "Why… is… she… that… mean… to… me?" she muttered between her sobs.
"Oi little girl don't cry here, you're disturbing my sleep." Mikan heard a familiar voice coming behind her. She turned around to see a raven haired lad positioning his self in a seating position as he stared at her chocolate brown orbs.
"Just leave me alone! I don't have time to argue with you!" Mikan says.
"You need someone to accompany you. It's bad to cry alone, it will just add up to your misery." Natsume says as he sit down beside Mikan.
She didn't reply, she is trying to stop her tears from falling down. And Natsume notice this.
"Cry as you want, you can't keep those feelings inside you forever ya know." Natsume says in a warm voice.
"Ha. Look who's talking. You're telling me let my feelings out while you keep that cold façade." Mikan says.
"Uhuh." Natsume says.
It's strange. Mikan felt being cared in Natsume's voice. After a few moments of crying she unconsciously drifted to sleep and her head fell on Natsume's shoulder.
NATSUME'S POV
I felt something hit my shoulder, I immediately thought that the baka fell asleep. I turned to her to wake her up. "Oi little-" I was not able to finish my sentence when I saw her angelic face and I let out a small smile. I just let her head lay on my shoulder. I yawn "I'm tired" I muttered, I let my head rest on top of Mikan's head and drifted to sleep.
NORMAL POV
Natsume and Mikan were peacefully sleeping on a bench. Click! But unknown to them, a pair of violet eyes are watching them while taking pictures of the two. Money signs were visible in those eyes. "I'm going to be rich." Says a feminine voice with a smirk.
Mikan slowly opened her eyes and grimace because of the sunlight so she adjusted her vision. She scan her surrounding until she realize that her head is on Natsume's shoulder.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" she shouts, she suddenly jump up causing her head to bump Natsume's head hardly.
"Tch so noisy little girl." Natsume replied as soothe the sore part of his head.
"Wh-wh-what are we doing here?" she asks.
"Well duh did you forgot that you were crying your eyeballs out and you fell asleep?" Natsume rolled his eyes.
"Oh yeah. Um… I'm sorry for being jumpy hehe. Is your head alright?" she asks as she leaned down and touch his head.
Natsume can feel the heat making its way to his cheeks because of the small gap between their faces but he manage to hide it. "Tch. What do you think?" he suddenly stood up making Mikan startled and at the same time lose her balance.
"Oh! Don't do that again!" she whined as she stood up and dusted the dirt off from her skirt.
Natsume smirk. "I did not do anything polka." He started walking away because he knew that Mikan will surely explode.
"Huh? Polka?"
5…
4…
3…
2…
1…
"KYAAAAAAAAA! NATSUME YOU PERVERTED JERK! HOW DARE YOU!" she shout as she started to chase after him.
"It's your fault for showing it to me."
"I didn't! It's your fault for making me lose my balance! And you dared to peek!"
LINE!
Mikan was lying on her bed. Thinking of what happened earlier this afternoon between her and her bestfriend and suddenly, tears started to fall again but she manage to stop them. She felt her phone vibrate twice which means she received a SMS. She flip her phone open and read the text.
Mikan,
Sorry for what I've said earlier. I meant it harmlessly but unfortunately you took it deeply. It's just that I can't go shopping with you this time because there's a lot of things I have to do, and the way you invited me… ugh. You sounded like a spoiled brat. And you my bestfriend, of all people, knew that I hate spoiled brats. I'm really sorry. I want to make it up to you. Since tomorrow is Saturday, let's go shopping.
Hotaru.
A smile curved on Mikan's lips. "Oh Hotaru." She says and fell asleep.
"Hey! I'm hungry. Let's drop by to the bakery of yours." Mikan says as she face Anna and Nonoko.
"Sure thing! I'm also hungry." Anna agrees.
"Yeah." Nonoko says.
"I don't mind." Sumire says.
Then they turned to Hotaru whom just sigh and said "Fine."
So they went to Angel sweet bakery and ordered some foods.
"I really enjoyed shopping with you guys!" Mikan says as she stuff her mouth with her strawberry cake.
"Me too! I'm so glad we went shopping today because you know, I'm already running out of dresses to wear! And you know me, I don't like being seen with the same get up twice." Sumire says.
"So, after this where are we going to go?" Mikan asks.
"Hmmm. Ahah! I know! Let's go to that newly opened shop!" Nonoko suggests.
"What shop?" Sumire asks.
"Ah you mean the Nogi Fashion Line? I heard they have a lot of beautiful dresses there." Anna says.
When the word 'Nogi' was said, Mikan saw her bestfriend Hotaru tense up a bit.
"What's the matter Hotaru-chan?" Mikan asks.
After eating the girls went to Nogi Fashion Line and bought dresses that caught their eyes.
"Kyaaa! I'll surely come back to that shop!" Mikan squeals.
"Yeah! They have so many cute dresses." Nonoko agrees.
"And the saleslady are friendly!" Anna says with a giggle.
"Will you please shut up. I can't concentrate on the road." Hotaru says as she drives.
"uh gomene Hotaru-chan"
They just arrive at the dorms and are now walking towards their rooms. Good thing their rooms are close with each other.
"Mikan-chan are you going home tomorrow?" Anna asks.
Mikan nodded with a wide smile on her face.
