Chapter 15

Love under the Tree (Part I)

(The next day…)

"Good morning everyone!" Mikan shouted at the whole class with a huge smile from her face.

"Good morning Hotaru" Mikan said trying to hug Hotaru.

"3…2…1…" Yuu thought until,

Baka… Baka… Baka…

This time Mikan get up by herself because she started to get used to it already.

"Good morning Ruka-pyon." Mikan said with a huge smile greeting Ruka and Natsume when they entered the class. Then Mikan stopped in front of Natsume.

"Natsume, are you okay?" Mikan asked while she rolled Natsume's sleeve. She saw that the wound is getting better so she smiled.

"Idiot…" Natsume rolled his sleeve back and headed straight to the corner of the class.

(Mr Jinno enters the class.)

"Kids, in the next 2 days we all will be going to the northern forest and stayed there for a couple of days. Our objective is to learn to control our alices and to do a bit of survival learning. You will all be separated in pairs and the pair sticks to the pairs of your project. The result for your project is now posted in the board outside the teacher's room. Any question?" Mr Jinno asked.

"Are we given a tent to stay with?" Mikan asked.

"Well, yes each partner will be given a tent where they will be sleeping together in." Mr Jinno said with all groans from the student but the loudest is from Mikan and Sumire.

"I want to sleep with Natsume or Ruka!" Sumire shouted

"I don't want to sleep with that pervert!" Mikan shouted.

"Okay then meet you all at the entrance of the northern forest on the next 2 days." Mr Jinno ended the announcement and exits the room.

"Hotaru, I guess that this is a good chance to spend time together with Ruka." Mikan said to her best friend.

"Instead, it's a good time to take Ruka's picture and earn some money." Hotaru said with a dollar sign on her eyes and Ruka sweat dropped.

Mikan walked toward Natsume.

"Natsume, do you want to accompany me to see our marks for the projects?"

"No."

"Why?"

"I'll look at it later myself." He said to the innocent girl who's starting to cry.

"Meanie." Mikan said while she walked to her seat. Then Natsume walked out of the room alone.

"Where are you going?" Mikan asked.

"To see our marks you stupid." Natsume exclaimed while Mikan smiled at him and she exits the room together with Natsume.

Outside the teacher room…

"Mikan-Natsume… What?" Mikan suddenly shouted.

"Look Natsume, we got the highest mark! An A+!" Mikan said with a smile toward him. Natsume blushed but he looked away.

2 days later…

"Kids, please stick with your partner when you're walking deeper to the forest." Mr Jinno told everyone.

"Natsume, wait for me!" Mikan shouted trying to catch up with Natsume. Since today is Sunday, everyone is wearing free dresses. Mikan wore a pink halter covered with a silver jacket, silver mini skirt, and a pink tick – tock sandals. Natsume was using a normal polo shirt with jeans and a sport shoes.

A few hours later…

Natsume and Mikan were left by the teachers in the deepest part of the northern forest. They're left with a tent.

Flashback…

"Kids, I will be leaving each of you with your partner inside these woods. You will need to survive for 2 days with your partner and find your way out from the woods." Mr Jinno said.

Hotaru and Ruka was left in a corner while the others was following Mr Jinno, Mikan and Natsume was left in the deepest part of the forest. Mr Jinno puts a white tent and left them both behind.

End of flashback…

"Natsume…" Mikan said calling Natsume who was reading his manga, he sits under a tree.

"What's your problem little girl?"

"You know, I haven't even slept with a boy before, have you ever slept with a girl before Natsume?"

"No"

"Do you snore?"

"No"

"That's good. I cant sleep with a guy who snores." Mikan said with a cheerful smile. Then she stands up and she put her shampoo, toothbrush, toothpaste, and soap on a corner of the tent and then she called Natsume.

"Are you going to put your things on the tent?"

"…"

"Hmmph." Mikan decided to left him because she knew very well that Natsume was having a good time on his manga and decided to leave him in peace. She decided to sit next to Natsume.

"I know that you are going to be on a mission today."

"How do you know?" Natsume asked her still with his eyes sticking to his manga.

"I'm scared to sleep alone. Can you please just sleep with me tonight?" Mikan said while she looked down. She's scared to ask Natsume that question.

"Idiot, do you want Persona to beat me up?" Natsume said while he closed the manga.

"I'm sorry. But please don't leave me alone…" Mikan said while she started to cry.

"Whatever"

"Is that a yes?"

"…"

"Thanks…"

At night…

Natsume was reading his manga while Mikan was sitting on top of the pillow with a couple of yawn.

"Hurry up idiot! I can't wait for you that long." Natsume said starting to get annoyed.

"Ye…Yes!" Mikan said while she slowly removed the ring from her fingers. She looked at the ring once more before she put the ring on a small pink box and shut it gently.

"Oi!" Natsume called her again.

"Hai, I'll sleep." Mikan said with an annoyed tone. But she just mumbled on the ground and she sit down again.

"Please, could you just sleep with me for awhile?" She asked with her han clutching the pillow. It seemed to be that she's scared.
