Chapter 9
A certain brunette was crying furiously on her queen size bed. Why? Because she just saw her crush kissing a girl, a slut, that hurt her two years ago.
"Why? Why her Zero? Out of everyone but why her?" Mikan wouldn't erase that kissing scene out of her mind. She covered her face with her hands, thinking about the past. First kiss stolen by Natsume. Giving her heart for the first time for Natsume. Having her first heartbreak because of Natsume. Recovered from the heartbreak because of Zero. Opening her heart for Zero. Having another heartbreak because of Zero. The brunette buried her face on her soft pillows, exhausted from her crying . Just when she was about to go to sleep, a knock came from her door. The brunette growled.
"WHO'S THERE?!"
"Strawberry, it's me!" said a manly voice. Mikan automatically know who it is. It was her crush.
"WHAT DO YOU WANT?! GO AWAY?!" I shouted at the door. There were a short silence.
"Oi, what's going? Are you okay? You know that your late for the training!"
"I DON'T CARE! I JUST FEEL SICK! LEAVE ME ALONE!" I shouted again and tears start forming.
"Are you okay? Do you need to see the nurse?" asked Zero.
"NO NEED! I SAID I'M FINE JUST LEAVE ME ALONE?!" I shouted again, but more harshly. More silence...
"Okay..." said the silver-haired boy.
Mikan buried herself in her bed and cried. Soon, she fell asleep.
Zero's POV
"What is heck is wrong with her? She was fine in the morning and angry in the afternoon? What is she? A mood-changing pro? I never saw she act like this before...it's like she's pushing me away.. ." I thought as I walk across to my room. I felt a pain in my chest when she shouted those words.
I walk in my room and went inside the bathroom. I turn on the water and take a nice hot shower. Few minutes later, I walked out with a towel on my hair. I pumped down on the sofa and switch open the TV.
"I'm still worry about that idiot. Oh well, I'll just ask her tomorrow.
Normal POV
"Good Morning Mihara-sensei!" greeted a smiling brunette as she came strolling in.
"Ah, good morning Mikan-chan!" greeted the cheery teacher. The brunette walk back to her seat, catching a smirk from that purple curly-haired girl from yesterday. She smile at her like she didn't saw what happened yesterday. That girl just made a disgusting face and turn to face her friends. Mikan walk to the back of the room and sat down. Her partner turn towards her and his eyes with full of concerns.
"Do you feel better?" asked the silver haired-boy. The brunette struggled her shoulders and took out a book PRETENDING to read. Zero didn't say anything more as Mihara-sensei started her lessons.
Science Class...
"One Howalon, Two Howalons, Three Howalons, Four Howalons, Five Howalons, Six Howalons, Seven Howalon, Eight Howalon, Nine Howalons, Ten Howalons... " thought a certain brunette as she dazed outside the window. Her science teacher, Kenta , were going blah blah blah on the ecosystem and the animals. It's been 2 years since she ate those, oh how she misses them. She began to drool as she pictured the fluffy puffy candy.
"Today, we will be dissecting frogs."
"Eh? EHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH?!"
"DISSECTING FROGS?!" shouted the brunette as she sprang up from her seat. Everyone turn to stare at her. Some were snickering at her sudden outburst.
"Yes Sakura-san, we will be dissecting frogs. Have you not listen to the class again?" stated Kenta. The brunette quickly sat down as she blush from embarrassment.
"Ahem, as I was saying, we will be dissecting dead frogs today. You will work with your partners and observes the organs of the frog." the teacher said as he pass out trays with a small knife, a dead frog taped to the middle, and two small sticks. Mikan's stomach feels funny at the sight of the dead frogs. She and her partner both put on gloves before the dissecting.
"Do you want to cut it or I'll do it?" asked Zero. Mikan gulped as she heard some gagging voices from her classmates and point to him. Zero nodded and grabbed the small knife and slowly cut the stomach of the death frog . Bloods were oozing out from the cut and Mikan's stomach turned. Zero split open the cut parts as Mikan gag at the organs. Zero took one of the sticks and start poking the organs.
Poke.
Poke.
Poke.
SLAM!
Everyone stop what they were doing and turn to look at the flushing brunette. Mikan was about to throw up as she slammed the desk, causing the taped frog to fly directly on the silver-haired boy's face. Mikan ran out the door as Zero freaked out. Kenta hurried over and help Zero clean the mess while the class laughed at them. Zero washed his face at the sink. "What's the problem with Strawberry?" Few minutes later, the brunette came back to the class, but as soon as she got a sniff of the smell, her face turned green again. Zero came up to her.
"Are you okay? You're face is quite green. Do you need to see the nurse?" ask the silver-haired boy. The brunette tried to avoid his gazed since it brought her so much pain so she quickly turned and walk to the infirmary. She never noticed the disappointment on Zero's face.
Infirmary...
"Sakura-san! What brings you here? Are you feeling okay? Sick?" asked the kind-heart nurse.
"I'm fine, Rina-san. I'm just a little tired. Mind if I rest here?" asked the brunette.
"Sure. Call me if you need anything!" smiled the nurse as she walk in her office. The brunette walk to one of the bed. She noticed one of the bed was occupied by a beautiful night color haired-girl around her age. The girl, noticed her presence, sat up and smile at the brunette.
"Hello, my name is Hanaka Ida." said the night color haired-girl as she took out her hands. The brunette blinked once before replying.
"Hi, I'm Mikan Sakura." smiled the brunette as she shake her hands. "Finally! Someone except Zero who is willing to become my friends!"
"Mikan-chan, what a nice name! It's perfect for you!" beamed the night haired-girl.
"Thanks Ida-san."
"Oh please, Hanaka is fine."
"Okay! Hanaka-chan!"
"Mikan-chan, which class are you in?"
"Class 2-B"
"Oh no wonder I never met you before, I'm in class 2-A" Hanaka said. "So how is your time here?"
"Pretty good, except that I don't have any friends except Zero" sighed the brunette.
"Aw poor Mikan-chan, we can be friends! Wait...YOUR FRIEND WITH ZERO TAJIMA?!" exclaimed the beaming Hanaka. Mikan sweat dropped.
"That's so cool! No one ever managed to be close or even become friends with Zero-kun! You're the first!?" said Hanaka. Mikan was surprise, not because of his attitude but because he doesn't even have any friends besides her.
"By the way Mikan-chan, why are you in here?" said the girl as she examine the brunette for any clues of sickness.
"Err-I got tired. Our class were dissecting frogs and I couldn't stand it. It's so disgusting." answered the brunette as she shivered at the thought of dissecting the frogs.
"EW!?" said Hanaka as she made a disgusting face. The two new friends laugh and talk about their life at the academy.
Zero's POV
"Why does Mikan kept pushing me away? Did I do something wrong?" I thought as I observes the organs and taking down notes. This lab is fascinating. I have to take notes for Strawberry, too. I couldn't concentrate well on the dissecting. My mind is all focus on Mikan. She's been acting weird since yesterday.
"Did she ate something funny?" I thought.
"Alright everyone! It's time to clean up!" clapped the teacher. "Tch. I have to do this all by myself."
Normal POV: Lunchtime...
Mikan was walking toward the cafeteria and avoiding a certain silver-haired boy. She look around and saw her usual table was taken by the girls in her class. The brunette sighed and was about to go back to her dorm when she heard a familiar voice.
"MIKAN-CHAN!?"
Mikan look for the owner of the voice and saw a night-haired girl waving at her. She was sitting with a cute orange blonde girl, a silky black hair and lavender eyes boy, and a blue haired boy with black eyes .
"Guys, this Mikan-chan, the one I've told you about." introduced the girl.
"Mikan-chan, this is Nanami Ito, my cousin." she said as pointed to orange blonde girl as she smile at her.
"This is Saito Fuji, my boyfriend." she said as she point to the silky black-haired boy.
"Sup" he said as she smile.
"This is Hikari Kihara. Nanami-chan's childhood sweetheart." Hanaka said as she smirk, causing Hikari and Nanami to blush.
"Hi, nice to meet you! I'm Mikan Sakura." said the brunette as she bow.
"Ne, you're that girl was always sticks to that Tajima guy." Hikari said. "But where is he today?" The brunette froze there, no knowing what to say. Nanami look at her nervously.
"Hii-kun, stop it, you're making Mikan-chan uncomfortable." Nanami said. The brunette sat down next to her as they chat about their life.
Training...
A certain brunette was fighting her silver-hair partner. The brunette jumped up as she tried to kick the boy. As fast as lightning, the boy dodged the attack but without noticing, the brunette used her long leg and tripped the boy. The boy landed on the ground and fired few flames. The brunette quickly nullified it and used a water alice which she copied few days ago, sent a large wave towards the boy. The boy uses his alice and freeze the wave, making it crash as it hit the ground. Without the brunette's notice, the boy froze the brunette to the ground, the brunette quickly nullified it and use the shape-shift and transform herself into a small cute white rabbit without her partner's attention. She pretend to be injured as the boy turn his attention to the rabbit. He pitied the rabbit, not knowing that it was her partner, he pick the rabbit up. The brunette/rabbit smirked "Just as what I planned" The rabbit immediately change back into her human form and tackled her partner.
"You lost this time, Zero." Mikan said as she start to walk away. Zero remain frozen on the ground. He was too, surprise of what he saw. Pain...pain was all in her eyes.
"Why is there pain in her eyes?"
Three weeks...three weeks of avoiding him. Three weeks of pain. She spend more and more time with Nanami and Hanaka and less and less time with Zero.. She had absolute no idea how Zero feels. He felt empty, lonely, and pain, too. Every time he tried to get her attention or say hi to her, she always ignored him. He felt broken. Not once in his life he felt this before.
Zero was walking towards the garden and stopped when he heard a confession.
"M-mikan-sama! I love you! Please go out with me!" blurted a brown-haired boy. He bowed lowly so he could hide his embarrassed face. Zero hide behind a tree, clenching his fists. "Why did she ignored me for three weeks?"
"I-I'm sorry, Shouta-kun, I can't accept your feelings..." Mikan muttered. Shouta smiled but anyone could see that disappointed look on his face.
"It's okay Mikan-sama." he said as he excused himself, leaving the brunette alone, sighing. Zero couldn't hold any longer. He went up to the brunette. Mikan noticed a presence and looked up, surprised to see her partner approaching her. She tried to make a run but was pinned on a cherry blossom tree by a pair of strong arms. She was caged by Zero.
"L-let me go!" said the brunette as she struggled to get out of the silver-haired boy's grasp, but he was way stronger.
"Why..." started the boy.
"Huh?" said the brunette as she look up, stop struggling.
"Why are you ignoring me?" asked the boy.
"I-I wasn't ignoring you..." said Mikan, bangs covering her eyes.
"Stop lying, you're bad at lying. Why are you ignoring me? Why are you pushing me away?" Zero asked as he tried to control his emotions. Mikan didn't reply. Memories flashed in her mind, from the betrayal to the heartbreaking scene. Tears swelled up in her eyes. She couldn't bare it.
"WHY DO YOU CARE ANYWAY?! WHY ARE YOU EVEN HERE?! SHOULDN'T YOU BE BACK WITH YOUR LOVELY GIRLFRIEND?!" Mikan shouted as tears rolled down her soft cheeks. Zero was hit back at her words. "My lovely girlfriend?"
"DON'T PLAY DUMB?! I KNOW ALL ABOUT IT?! I SAW WITH MY OWN EYES THAT YOU WERE KISSING THAT SLUT THREE WEEKS AGO?! DO YOU K-" the brunette was interrupted by a warm and lovely kiss. Her mind was telling her to pull away but her body didn't obey. Mikan surrender as she close her eyes and put her arms around the boy's neck. They broke the kiss few seconds for air. Zero pulled her into a warm hug.
"I love you, Mikan" he breathe in the brunette's strawberry scent hair. Mikan was shock by the sudden confession and for the first time, he called her by her name.
"I love you two years ago Mikan. The only reason I kiss that girl was because she threatened me that she will harm you if I don't do what she wanted." explained the boy as he looked in her large chocolate eyes. The brunette melted in his coaxing blue eyes.
"Really?" asked the brunette.
"Yes" said the boy as he gently kiss the brunette's forehead. Mikan blushed as she pull Zero into a hug as whispered the words that she longed to say,
"I love you, too" The image of a certain raven haired boy with crimson eyes faded in her mind as it was replaced by a sliver haired boy.
"Good-bye Natsume."
