Two chapters in one day. This makes up for being 2 weeks late.
For the next couple of days Mikan was ignoring Natume's attempt to make her jealous by acting like a total player. She constantly thought about the offer to go to America and finally, she came to a decision.

"Okay, see you tomorrow," Mikan said as she and the girls parted ways.
Mikan wandered around the school as she thinks about everything that's happened since the first competition. Before she realized it, her feet took her to the Sakura tree. She sat down and thought of the good times she had at Gakuen Alice as she sang the new song she wrote.
I Knew You Were Trouble by Taylor Swift
Once upon a time a few mistakes ago
I was in your sights, you got me alone
You found me, you found me, you found me
I guess you didn't care, and I guess I liked that
And when I fell hard you took a step back
Without me, without me, without me
Natsume was walking to his favorite spot in the school, the Sakura tree, when he heard a beautiful voice singing. He recognized the voice but couldn't face her just yet. Once he got to the tree, he climbed the it and sat on a branch and listened to the song.
And he's long gone when he's next to me
And I realize the blame is on me
'Cause I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
'Til you put me down, oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
No apologies. He'll never see you cry,
Pretends he doesn't know that he's the reason why.
You're drowning, you're drowning, you're drowning.
Now I heard you moved on from whispers on the street
A new notch in your belt is all I'll ever be
And now I see, now I see, now I see
He was long gone when he met me
And I realize the joke is on me, yeah!
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
'Til you put me down, oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
And the saddest fear comes creeping in
That you never loved me or her, or anyone, or anything, yeah
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
'Til you put me down, oh
I knew you were trouble when you walked in (you were right there, you were right there)
So shame on me now
Flew me to places I'd never been
Now I'm lying on the cold hard ground
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
Oh, oh, trouble, trouble, trouble
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
Trouble, trouble, trouble
I knew you were trouble when you walked in
Trouble, trouble, trouble
When the song was over, Natsume's jumped out of the tree and sat next to Mikan. After a few moments of silence he started a conversation. "How are you, Mikan."
"I'm fine... what do you want Natume?" Mikan said. She was just starting to get over him and seeing him again brought back old feelings.
"Well I was coming here just to hang by my tree, but since you're here I want to talk to you."
"About what?"
"About us... Why we broke up. I mean we were good together."
"You know why."
"But I loved you. I still do,"
His words were convincing but Mikan knew that he wasn't going it change. "I love you too," Mikan confessed,"but you don't act like you do and your ego took up so much space in our relationship."
"Why are you saying this? Is it because I forgot your birthday one time?"
"But it wasn't one time and you've become a real asshole since we started dating: ignoring me and letting your fan girls jump your bones." The brunette said standing up about to walk away.
"I thought you were used to that?" He stood up too and grabbed her hand.
"No, but I stayed with you because I thought you cared enough about me enough to change."
"Mikan, I do," He pleaded trying to get her to come back to him.
"It too late now," Mikan said tears forming in her eyes.
"Why?!"
"I'm going to America tomorrow," Mikan said after pregnant pause. The tears were now freely falling down her face.

"MSP said we'll be leaving tomorrow," Mikan said to the girls. They were in free period talking while Hotaru was sitting there building a new invention. She told them that she was going to America with Yōichi and Hotaru. The girls, Anna, Nonoko, and Sumire, were upset she was leaving, but agreed with her choice.
"We are going to miss you two. You have to write to us to tell us how you're doing, okay?" Anna and Nonoko said.
"We will," Mikan said for her and Hotaru who was very into her new invention.
*Ding Ding Ding*
The girls got up and started for the door. "We'll see you off tomorrow at the gate," Sumire said. She might not have liked Mikan when she first got to the academy, but the brunette grew on her and everyone in the school. She couldn't help but feel sad that the joyful girl was leaving.
"Okay, see you tomorrow," Mikan said as she and the girls parted ways.

"No! Mikan, don't go. Stay here... with me."
"I can't! Don't you see," she said sadly. "This is the chance of a lifetime. I gave you another chance and you ruined it."
"Fine then!" Natsume said angrily. He was irritated that he could not change her mind. "Leave! Run away like you always do like the crybaby you are. You are just too stupid to see what she has I front of her."
"I don't know what' in front of me. Are you kidding me?" She pulled her hand out of his and looked at him in shock.
"Wait, Mikan! I didn't me-"
"No, I think you meant exactly what you said. Goodbye Natsume." Mikan turned and ran away to her room.
"Damn" Natsume said and punched his favorite tree.

"Bye Mikan, Hotaru, Yōichi! We'll miss you" Anna, Nonoko, and Sumire held a banner for their friends.
"My little sis is going to America, miles away," Tsubasa said hugging Mikan very tight.
"Alright, let her go," Misaki said then took Tsubasa's place hugging Mikan. "Make sure you write every one of us a letter."
Yōichi was also being smothered by Aoi... and he wasn't complaining. Hotaru and Ruka shared their goodbyes and promised to talk as often as possible. When they were done, the three filled the limo that would take them to the airport and waved their final goodbye to their friends.
No one saw Natsume hiding in the distance silencing cursing his ego for causing his love to leave him. He could do nothing but wait for her to come back and hope she'll forgive him.
He could do nothing but wait for 3 years to see her again.
