Drap. Drap. Drap.

Some noisy steps can be heard outside the building as the girl in front of the entering door turns her attention outside. The cute deep red dress for spring fits her perfectly as its end moves lightly against her tight.

"I've told you all that I've already taken. Right, Babe?"

"KYAAAAA!"

The fangirls scream in disappointment looking at the scene. As the good looking boy hugs the girl from behind with the face near hers. The girl also doesn't mind. In contrast, she touches the boy's hand that has already moved to caress her face. "Please, not in public, Honey" and another envied screams can be heard louder than before as the couple left the fangirls to run outside.

"I've heard another gossip," her friends sigh, but the infamous girl acts as if nothing's happened. Like usual, she is surrounded by some boys that's trying to seduce her. "Go away, you nasty boys!" her friends kick them as one of the girls says "They said last weekend, you went out with Natsume when bunch of girls hunting him."

"Yep," she nods "Something wrong?"

"They said that Hyuuga was hugging you. They said you're dating him."

"NOO! Is that true, Mikan? Let me be your boy instead,"

"No, let me be yours!"

"No!"

"..!"

"Relax, guys," she tries to calm both her friends and the boys "I don't have any intention to have a boyfriend," she stands up from her seat "I gotta go. Wanna come to have lunch at the canteen with me?"

Her friends sigh as the brunette gone along with her fanboys "She's always like that. Saying that she doesn't need any boyfriend while letting boys following her around. The other one is the same as her, to be called as a playboy. Don't you think it's weird when they're actually best friend since a baby?"

The other girl sighs too "I don't care of those stupid human being anymore. Her, the stupid innocent girl and him, the playboy yet stupid model,"

Her wavy brunette bounces beautifully every time she walks as many boys following her like they're under a spell. Her name is Mikan Sakura. Cute yet beautiful woman. She doesn't even realize how her body shape getting better each day, making her as every man's desire. Don't forget her first rank in every lessons each year, thanks to her smart brain. Inside, there's still huge kindness beneath her heart. Her friends sometimes call it as idiocy of her when she doesn't mind bunch of make-up-freak girls bullying her because of stupid jealously over her perfection.

But that's not all of her luckiness. Mention him, her childhood best friend named Natsume Hyuuga. The reason of every girls bullying her. He's clever enough, not to mention hot and handsome. Their parents are best friends, that's why they can never be separated, that's how people describe it. Even when he becomes a model in a famous magazine, he refuses to move from his current house. The house next to Sakura's household. Billion of paparazzi has cornered him with the same 'are you dating your best friend?' topic, but they always come out with a result of him dating another girl, making him to be called as the infamous playboy.

"Mikan, I like you. Will you be my girlfriend?"

"Sorry," she smiles politely "I don't have any intention to have a boyfriend right now,"

Always. She always giving them the same answer.

"Why don't you just try to have some boyfriend?"

"You know, you're making those crazy girls more jealous. You get confession almost every day, yet, you're the one that never date. Imagine how weird is that!"

She laughs while packing the gifts from the fanboys inside her locker "I don't care. I can't date someone that I don't love," she replies as if it's nothing "Wow, someone gave me another new lip gloss. Whomever you are, I shall thank you a lot," she kisses the brand new lip gloss and place it inside her paper bag. A bag that's already full of gifts.

"You kiss it like you never got one everyday," her friends pinch her chubby cheek when suddenly someone's calling her name

"Mikan, let's go,"

"Right away!" she says to him. Before she goes, her hands move to pinch back her friends "Pay back," she smiles widely and finally really disappear.

Her friends sigh for the umpteenth times today "I have thousands reason to hate her. But I just couldn't, looking how perfect, yet vulnerable she is,"

"Natsume," she glares at the man beside her. He just moves her ruby orbs to see her without changing his expression which makes her annoyed. "Another gossip was thrown after what you've done last sunday, you know!"

"So?" he continues chewing the lollipop, without guilty.

"So? SO?" she pinches his arm hard so he'll beg her to stop. "A-aw! Geez, I really hate you every time you're doing that to me" he pouts

She looks at him deeply "Aren't your girlfriend mad at you?"

"We're just broken up,"

She gasps to hear that "Wha—? When?"

"This afternoon,"

She hits her forehead to hear that "Again? For the umpteenth times, Natsume?" she looks at him again "Don't you like each of them? They'll be mad at you, or even cry because of you,"

"I used to like them, but now I don't"

"For only a week? Each girl? Oh please, Natsume," she rolls her eyes as they finally stops in front of her gate.

"Now, this conversation's just getting annoying. Go in safely. You're stupid enough to be slipped before you reach the door,"

She punches him hard in the arm "Yeah, thanks a lot," then before she disappears, she never forget to say to him "Good bye. Be safe, okay?" and smiles.

"Tch," he smirks "I should be the one to say that, stupid,"
