Chapter 3
Next morning Mikan's POV
I wake up to a horrible headache and wonder what happened last night that seemed like a blur
Suddenly I remember the announcement the principal made and me getting drunk.
I panic when I notice the situation I'm in. Knowing that I had made love with a celebrity.
I quickly slip out of bed without much movement not wanting to wake Natsume up.
I get dressed and jump from his balcony to the grass in front of my room. I open my window and slip into my room without much noise. I'm glad that his room's window is in front of my room.
I get ready for school hoping Natsume would not remember what happened last night.
In record time I make Luna and Himeko's breakfast and rush out to find my friends' waiting for me outside.
"Why'd you leave so early last night Mikan?" –Anna
"Oh um well…" I quickly try to think of an excuse.
…
"Your hiding something no point in trying to lie your horrible at that" –Hotaru
"Errr…. I'll tell you guys later so we're not late for school" and hurry toward the direction of school.
My friends follow close behind.
Homeroom Natsume's POV
I'm so annoyed right now, I had woken up in the morning and realizing what I had done the previous night and looked to see if the girl I had partnered with last night was still there.
She wasn't. Guess she woke up earlier and left. Or maybe I have dreamt it all.
I had gotten ready for school and cleaned my room so my friends would not notice what I had done and I found a golden bracelet among the scattered clothes. The girl must have left it being in a hurry. I then loss all my doubts of it being a dream.
It was a 24k gold bracelet with diamonds on the outside in the shape of hearts. The inside was engrave "family for eternity"
I held the bracelet in my hand. I wanted to apologize to the girl for what I did and to give the bracelet back.
I say Mikan and her friends entering and getting to their seats right before the late bell rang.
Mikan's POV
I feel so embarrassed as soon as I enter the class and saw Natsume.
He doesn't seem to be affected by my entrance so I'm sure he didn't know it was me he had partnered with.
Then I notice something shiny in his hand and my heart sinks.
He has my bracelet I must have forgotten it while hurrying out of his room.
"Okay class please settle down; Natsume would like to make an announcement" –sensei
I look up from my book being a bit curious.
"I had a partner at the dance last night and she forgot her bracelet" he held up my bracelet that my dad have me. "If you're the mystery girl I danced with then prove it by telling me what happened last night and what the engraving on the bracelet are" –Natsume
He went back to his seat.
Cafeteria lunch break
Sumire, Hotaru, Anna, Nonoko, and I were at our usual table trying to ignore the squeals of the fan girls of Flaming Stars.
There was a long line of girls claiming to be the girl and were making up random stories of what he has supposedly done with him the night of the dance and guessing the words of the engravings.
"So what happened last night Mikan?" –Sumire
"Yeah you said you would tell us" –Nonoko
"Please" –Anna
"You better tell us" – Hotaru
"Can't I tell you after school?"
"NO!" they said in unison
So I explained from when I had first gotten on the dance floor with him to when I had woken up in his room in the morning and him having my bracelet.
"So basically all I need now is to get that bracelet back from him and act as if nothing happened between us" I finished.
"It's not that simple you may not have a choice but to remember that event" –Hotaru
"What are you talking about?"
"So dense it's obvious what could result from what you did with him last night"
"I have no clue what you're talking about"
"I think I do it's probably that you have a chance of-" Sumire was cut off by Hotaru
"We'll have to wait a few days next Sunday all of you come to my house."
I'm really confused at this point but I guess I'll have to wait a while school.
Hotaru's Room Sunday Hotaru's POV
"Here" I shove 3 pregnancy tests into my best friend's hand
"What? Why would I need this?"
"Don't you ever learn anything in biology class?" –Sumire
"Just do it" –Anna
"To be on the safe side" –Nonoko
"Use all 3 to make sure the results are correct" I say though I'll kill Hyuuga if it's positive
Mikan listens obediently and goes into Hotaru's bathroom and shuts the door.
After a few minutes we hear a scream and hurry to the bathroom
The door's unlocked so we burst in.
I see Mikan on the floor with the pregnancy tests near her.
I grab them all swiftly and see that each of them has two blue lines.
Mikan's POV
I'm so scared I didn't think that this would ever happen to me.
I look up at my friends.
Hotaru looks like she is going to explode with anger.
Anna, Sumire, and Nonoko are frozen with shock in their faces.
"Hotaru please don't do anything wrong" I say trying to calm her down
"What not? He got you damn pregnant! We don't know what type of person he is doing this to you while being drunk. I'll kill him!"
"Please Hotaru I was drunk too so I could take the blame for this too"
"He was the one who did this though" and with that she stormed out of the bathroom.
I sign deeply knowing that when she has something on her mind she will not stop until she achieves her goal.
"It'll be aright Mikan were here for you" –Anna
"Yeah we'll help you whenever you need anything just say the word" –Sumire
"What are you gonna do with the baby?" –Nonoko
I stood up and walked out of the bathroom and dropped on the bed. I see Hotaru at her desk probably plotting something crazy with her invention to use on Natsume.
"I don't know. Hotaru?" I hear her sign
"I could keep you here if you want to keep the baby, it's safer, we could explain what happened to my parents, they're the type who would understand."
I thought about it for a bit.
"I'll keep the baby"
"The baby bump will probably not start showing until 8 months so when it becomes noticeable you'll move in with me to hide from your step-family and you'll have to skip school to keep it a secret. Let's go tell my parents how."
Normal POV
The five friends headed downstairs where they found Hotaru's parents in the living room. They all toke part in explaining the problem of what happened to Mikan and how they could help.
Like Hotaru had predicted, the adults agreed to their daughter's plan.
Four months later Normal POV
Natsume had still not given up finding his mystery girl even after so long.
Mikan would often vomit a lot while doing her chores assigned by Himeko and Luna which slowed her down a lot.
Mikan and her friends had explained everything to Narumi-sensei as well so he does not mind Mikan suddenly running out of the class
Some students got a bit suspicious of what she was doing but none of them cared about her so they dismissed the thought as quickly as it had come.
Classroom Natsume's POV
Sensei announced free period and had danced out of the room
"Man, it's been four months since the dance can't you forget about her already" –Kitsuneme
I glare at him.
"Its fine you're not the only one who wants to figure out their partner" –Ruka
"Yeah you gotta admit Kitsuneme you went all softy after that dance and went desperate to figure out who she is you almost toke off her mask" –Koko
"But there's nothing we could do about it" –Kitsuneme
"But all four of you know who your partner since you noticed their hair, eyes, and voice easily, your just too scared to ask them out" –Natsume
"Am not!" they said in unison
"Really?" I smirk.
Since today was a normal day all of Mikan's friends were crowded around her desk and all my friends were around my desk which was right behind her's.
"I pick Kitsuneme to go first unless you scared?" –Natsume
"Am not…..um Sumire" Kitsuneme said loud enough for only our two groups to hear.
Sumire and her friends looked up and all turned toward the person who spoke.
"Um well you see Sumire… I know you were the girl I danced with at the Valentine's day ball a long time ago… and I was kinda wondering if …if…if you wanna go out with me"
Mikan's POV
Sumire accepted.
I look at Natsume thinking back at dance but look away quickly seeing that our eyes meet for a few seconds.
Normal POV
Koko went next confessing to Nonoko and she happily accepted with a hug.
Anna accepted Yuu's shy confession.
Ruka was about to confess when he got hit with the baka gun.
"It toke you long enough" –Hotaru
"Oh um sorry so do you accept?" – Ruka
He got shot again.
"What do you think idiot?"
Mikan started to giggle.
"Don't worry bout it Ruka she says yes in her own way" –Mikan
Just then the bell announced dismissal time and all the students filed out.
"What is that bitch doing with Flaming Stars" –Luna
"Must be of some small matter no big deal please do not get upset" one of Luna's followers says
"Of course I won't get mad to be upset over such thing is not ladylike"
Over the four months Natsume had gotten closer to Mikan then any other girl though he doesn't know why he gives her special attention.
Mikan was talking with Natsume about their childhood and were about to leave the school grounds with her friends and their boyfriends when Luna and her followers stopped in front of her. They all noticed her at the same time and all the laughter and talking halted.
