Chapter One: I'm Dating...
It was a normal day in the Alice Academy, students were talking to each other and making up new stories, gossip was being passed around and so was the latest school newspaper, the Imai Times, created by none other than Hotaru Imai and it was sold at 10 rabbits a paper. Everyone bought one, it had great gossip, and it was all true!
"Have you heard the latest news? She's dating?" a boy mumbled to his companion, who widened his eyes. Apparently, he knew who 'she' was.
"What? Who?" he cried out, demanding an answer as his friend smirked. He loved to leak the gossip to his friend, but he was disappointed, as well.
"It's Koko." his friend said as the boy gasped, staring at his friend who was handing him the sacred information. He wanted to know why, but he couldn't believe what he heard.
"No!" he cried out as his friend gave a glum nod.
"Yes! It's all true!" he said as his friend shook his head like he still didn't want to believe it all.
"She's dating Koko?!" he said, still in absolute disbelief. How could this have happened? The angel of their year, dating the joker of the academy? It was all too much to bear!
"Well, that's what I heard, anyway. It's in the Imai Times and Imai Hotaru is never wrong! There's pictures and everything!" he said while waving the newspaper in his friends face, who followed the paper with his eyes.
"B-But she could have anyone in the whole school! Why did she have to choose Koko, of all people! Even we're more attractive than he is!" cried the fan boy of the girl who was dating Koko, and his friend gave a nod, sighing sadly as he started to read the article in the paper that all fanboys had dreaded.
"No idea, but he must have something we don't, man, or she's got bad taste in men. I thought she liked Natsume Hyuuga!" he cried out, throwing down the paper as they walked to their desks, discussing the terrible subject like most boys did in the school. It was the biggest crisis they had found...
Somewhere else in the school, the girl who had caught every boys eyes and hearts was sitting under a certain Sakura tree with her boyfriend, Koko, and she didn't seem vbery happy. Well, she wouldn't be if she was the main subject in the whole Academy! But it got a few fangirls off her back, who loved Natsume. Now they could rest assured that she was dating the goofy one and not the hunk.
"It's not fair! Why does Hotaru always have to put my personal life into her dumb paper!" cried Mikan as Koko shrugged, his arm wrapped around her shoulders while she sat there, a stormy look on her face because she wasn't her usual happy bunny let's be friends self.
"No idea, I guess it's because you're her best friend, but it's my personal life, too. You aren't the only one people are grillin'." he said with his goofy grin as Mikan sighed, then gave him a small smile and stared at him, her beautiful brown orbs staring into his own eyes.
"Okay, I understand. I'm sorry for getting mad at you." Mikan said, giving Koko a kiss on his cheek as he smiled, then hugged her close as someone watched from above them, glaring and feeling like he wanted to set fire to Koko for touching his Mikan, the only girl he truly loved.
"Grrr... That stupid psychic jerk gets to date her! He's not even that handsome! Why did polka-dots pick him!?" thought Natsume angrily to himself as he stared at the cuddly couple who seemed to be very loved up at that moment. Natsume really did want to set fire to Koko, and it would make him feel better, but Mikan would get worried about her date, and that would make him regret setting fire to the mind-reading jerk.
So he sat where he was and watched, his eyes burning with hatred like his heart, and jealousy serging through his entire body as Mikan and Koko cuddled, held hands and sometimes even kissed. Even when they passed small loving smiles Natsume got angry!
It had been 5 years, they were 15 years old, why hadn't Natsume even asked her out on a date? Well... He was scared. He was scared that the only girl he ever truly loved would reject him and laugh in his face. He knew Mikan was too kind to laugh in his face, but he still didn't want to be rejected by her. So, he never asked her out on a date.
"Do you want to go get something to eat?" Koko asked as Mikan smiled, nodding happily.
"Of course, Koko-kun!" she said sweetly, and they both stood up, holding hands, and walked towards the school building to where they could get something to eat from the cafeteria. Natsume then felt that it was safe to come out of the tree, but of course, Hotaru Imai, director, writer and editor of the Imai Times was on the prowl, like always, getting more gossip and video tapes or pictures of her favourite couple and the latest column in school.
"Ah, so you're here too, Hyuuga. I didn't know you liked to spy. We could make a great team if we worked together." Hotaru said in her dreary voice as Natsume shot her a glare.
"I wasn't spying, they just walked up and started their stupid conversation about how much they want each other." he snapped as Hotaru frowned, holding up her spy camera as Natsume sighed, and looked over at the school building that his eye candy had enetered just moments ago.
"It sounds to me like you're jealous. The little green monster on Natsume. Great opening title for this column. Imai Hotaru has done it again, says the press!" she said more to herself than Natsume as he glared at her, flames burning in his palms as he stared at the pretty but evil girl who liked to make everyone a victem.
"Shut up, you technical freak! I am not jealous of that stupid mind-reading guy and Polka-dots! And if you dare put me into your dumb school paper then I will burn you, your stupid instruments and everyone who reads that damned paper." he hissed as Hotaru shrugged, staring at him blankly.
"That's everyone, then, and they are machines, not instruments. Instruments are so boring, like you. And you aren't interesting enough to put in my column, yet. I want to watch you get even more jealous." she said, then left Natsume as he watched her walk away. Why did she make him even angrier than he already was? Hotaru Imai was one weird chick, but she made everyone hate her because she always taped them or took pictures of their private moments with their lovers.
Now it was Mikan's turn to get angry with her, and an angry Mikan was rare, but a Mikan angry at Hotaru was even more rare than the previous. Natsume then walked off, too. He needed to seriously cool off...
Later that day, Koko had been glared at and Mikan had been sighed at. Her fanboys weren't happy with who she was dating, but her secret fanboy was the angriest, and he hated it. He gave Koko the most glares, which Mikan never noticed because he always scowled and glared, and he always threatened to set fire to him if he even dared to harm Mikan. This was all said in his head, but as Koko could read minds, he heard it all. He knew Natsume had a crush on the cute, bubbly Mikan.
Natsume couldn't stop staring at the couple, and he couldn't help thinking of Mikan dating one of the goofiest, weirdest guys on campus. Mikan then shot Natsusme a smile when she saw he was staring at them. She wondered why he stared at her and Koko.
"Natsume-kun, are you okay?" she asked in her sweet voice as he stared at her, then lit a ball of fire in his hand.
"Shut up, Polka-dots, you're giving me a migrain. Your voice annoys me." he said as Mikan started to frown, and then turned to Koko. Natsume stared. Had she given up on him? She didn't seem happy with him at that moment, she was more happy with Koko than she normally was. Mikan hugged Koko's arm.
"Mou, he's so mean to me, Koko... He makes me feel useless and sad." Mikan mumbled as Koko stared at his girlfriend, then hugged her as Natsume glared, his face stormy and eyes turning black.
"Don't worry Mikan... I'll make you happy! Let's go to central town and I'll buy you some Howalons! How about two boxes?" asked Koko as Mikan gasped, beaming widely and hugging him tightly. She felt like the luckiest girl in the world. Her eyes started to sparkle as she stared up at him.
"You mean it! Oh, Koko! You're the best!" she cried out, and they both stood up, leaving the almost empty classroom as Natsume watched, unhappy and mad at Koko and at himself. Then, just as chance would have it, Hotaru walked in eating lovely blueberry cupcakes that Anna had made for her.
"As I said before, you're jealous. You should really accept it and let Mikan live her life. She can't always stay single just because you love her, Hyuuga." Hotaru explained, but Natsume stood and pushed her aside roughly as she stared at him with her violet eyes.
"I thought I told you that I didn't love that little idiot? She can date whoever she wants, I don't care, it's her life. She can ruin it all by herself." hissed Natsume as Hotaru stared at him, and she sighed, almost... sadly.
"So... You would ruin it for her? Natsume, if you hurt Mikan, I will tell you this; I will hurt you. I don't care about how you feel, I care about her feelings, and right now, she's the happiest girl in school when she's with her new boyfriend. Mess her relationship up, I mess you up. Mikan will never forgive anyone who hurts the people she loves, and she will definately not forgive you if you lay a finger on Koko. Got that?" she whispered, then walked off silently as Natsume watched her.
She had a point...
Mikan was sitting at the fountain in the Town Centre, waiting for someone who wanted to meet her. Mikan was wearing a denim skirt that fell to her knee's and an off-the shoulder green top with a black top underneath. Her hair was in the usual childish pigtails and she had sandals on. Mikan sighed out of boredom. When was he going to turn up?
"Ah, so youn did come." said a deep voice as Mikan stood up, her arms folded as Natsume walked towards her and she stared at him.
"What do you want to talk about, Natsume? I need to meet Koko in a moment." she said, and Natsume felt the pang of jealousy surge through him when he heard that name. As far as he knew, Koko was a new born enemy who Natsume would kill if it wasn't for Hotaru's threat. He stared at Mikan, his face calm and cool as always.
"That's what I want to talk about... Why are you dating Koko?" he asked coldly as Mikan stared at him, raising her eyebrow slightly. She heard his tone of voice, and she realised that he was in fact jealous of Koko.
"What? Jealous are we?" she asked, and Natsume shot her a glare.
"Answer my question!" he snapped, so Mikan answered,
"Natsume, I like him, okay? Koko's a sweet guy and he treats me like I'm a person. He's nice to me, he knows what I like and he wants to be with me, as well. Koko's not a bad guy, okay?" she asked as Natsume stared at her, then clenched his fists.
"But does he love you?" he asked, and Mikan blinked.
"Pardon?" she asked, and Natsume repeated his question as Mikan listened, her eyes blink blink blinking away.
"Does he love you? Or let me ask, do you love him?" he asked as Mikan shook her head. She couldn't believe he was asking her this.
"What!? How dare you question me! You know what you should get over your jealousy and move on, Natsume. I'm dating Koko, and not even you can change that. If you liked me, then you should have said. I would have never said no to you, but... Your too late now." she whispered, then walked off as Natsume watchedm shocked at what she had said. Was that... Her confession of love? Natsume sat on the edge of the fountain, a hand on hsi forehead as Mikan walked off, then stopped at a wall.
Mikan then leaned against the wall as tears enveloped her eyes, and her whole body shook. Why? Why did it have to be so painful to give him up? Why couldn't she ever date him...
