I screamed for a long time. I grabbed the towel, wrapped it around me. I turned to the figure in front of me and punched him right in the face before I pushed him out of the room. I banged the door shut and sat down on the floor, leaning on the door. I heard footsteps coming running towards this way.
"Mikan! Are you okay?" I heard Yuu ask from the other side of the door. I didn't answer.
"Natsume-nii! What did you do to Mikan-nee?" Aoi's voice was louder and angry.
"I didn't do anything!" He exclaimed.
I got up from the floor, I put on my usual black shorts and green singlet. I tied my hair up in a messy bun and took on my slippers. Then I opened the door. The others looked at me speechless. I could feel my face burn and the anger was building up inside me. I took a step forwards, my chest almost touching his.
"What the hell is the matter with you?" I yelled at Natsume.
"The matter with me?" He was mad too. We were glaring at each other. "What's the matter with you? Why the hell did you punch me?"
"You walked in on me!"
"You didn't put the sign up!"
"I did!"
"No, you didn't!"
"Yes, I did!"
"Umm... Mikan-chan? Natsume?" Ruka interrupted. We looked at him and saw him holding the busy sign. "This probably fell onto the floor. I found it in front of the bathroom."
"What?" Natsume and I shouted at the same time. I felt my eyes watering and soon the tears were running down my cheeks. I couldn't stop it. I looked at Natsume. He looked shocked and he stared at me.
"You idiot!" I said, almost in a whisper. My voice had disappeared. I ran to my room and placed a chair to the door so no one could enter. I ran to my bed and hid my face in the pillow. I started to cry. My tears wouldn't stop running. After 30 minutes, I heard a knock on the door.
"Mikan-nee? Are you okay?" I heard worry in Aoi's voice. I sat up and wiped my tears away. I walked over and removed the chair. When I opened the door, I saw Tsubasa, Ruka, Yuu, Koko and Kitsu a few meters away from my door. Aoi was standing right in front of my door. I smiled weak. I knew my eyes were swollen from crying.
"I'm fine."
"What a girls night?" Aoi smiled at me and I hugged her.
"Thank you... for caring so much. I'd love a girl's night." We giggled.
"I'll go and rent some movies."
I grinned. "I'll order food."
She nodded and walked down the stairs. I waited a few seconds before I went over to the guys. I could see they were very uncertain; maybe because they didn't want to upset me.
"Thanks guys." They smiled and seemed calmer.
"You okay, Mikan-chan?" Tsubasa-sempai asked. I nodded.
"Do we have popcorn?" I asked, and they laughed. I followed them to the kitchen where they showed me every cabinet or shelf where unhealthy snacks could be found.
"We'll disappear so you two can have the house for yourself." Ruka suddenly said as we watched the popcorn in the microwave.
"What?" I looked at the boys surprised. "No, I can't kick you out! We'll be in my room." They only laughed at me when I protested.
"It's fine. We'll go out." Yuu smiled at me and I gave them a sweet smile in return.
"Thanks."
Natsume entered the room and I turned my back towards him. He just looked at the boys.
"What's going on?" He asked.
After one hour, Aoi and I were in the living room. We decided to invite the other girls as well. They would be arriving soon. I was surprised at all the unhealthy stuff we managed to find; popcorn, potato chips, chocolate, lots of candy, soda and we ordered three pizzas. We sat there talking for hours about anything; books, movies, stuff we have done, embarrassing stuff, secrets and so on. After that, we watched a horror movie. I hated the two painful hours. I was very relieved when it was over. But I was only happy for a minute or two. They started talking about something I don't have a lot of experience in.
"Ne, Mikan-chan?" Sumire got my attention. I snapped out of my thoughts and looked at her.
"Hmm?"
"How may boys have you kissed."
I blushed. All the girls looked at me, curious.
"One."
"Was it nice?"
I looked down to hide my growing blush. They all had curious eyes. I saw Sumire smirking at me.
"Let's play truth or dare."
I hated that game.
I rushed over to them and stood in front of him. I really didn't want to do it, but I had to. I sighed.
"Can I talk to you?" I said, nervously. All six boys were looking at me, confused. I blushed like crazy and looked down. "Well?"
Natsume stood up and walked out of the restaurant. I followed him. I was really nervous. I hated this dare.
"Well... you see..." I blushed and couldn't look him in the eyes.
"Just blurt it out." He said.
"I'm still a tiny bit mad about you from before, even if I know it wasn't your fault, you still saw all, and it is really embarrassing for me having you see that and I wish you could just forget it all and let's be friends again. By the way, kiss me."
I said it all out in one go, so I needed to take a deep breath when I finished. I looked up at him to find a huge smirk on his face. I wanted to wipe it off.
"Got a crush on me little girl?"
"I'm not a little girl. It is a dare."
"Oh, right. Of course, you say so because you don't want to admit you want it." I heard the amusement in his voice.
"All I had to do was ask you, you don't have to do anything. Bye." I turned around and started to walk away. He grabbed my wrist and pulled me back. My back was still facing him.
"Why did they tell you to ask me?"
I blushed.
"No reason."
"Tell me."
"No."
"I won't let go before you tell me."
"My first kiss was lousy, okay? Now let me go."
He walked around me, still holding my wrist. He placed his hand under my chin and made me look right into his eyes. We stared at each other's eyes for a long time.
"We can't have that." He whispered. I felt my cheeks burn and I had trouble breathing. I couldn't hear anything. I was lost in his eyes. Why the hell did he make me feel this way? I was shocked when I felt something soft touch my lips. Without my permission, my eyes closed slowly.
