Chapter Eight is done. :))

DISCLAIMER: I don't own anything but the plot. *.*

~MIKAN'S POV~

The sunlight that streamed in through the curtains of the huge window near the king sized bed struck my eyes waking me up from the most peaceful sleep i had in my entire living.

I can feel my stomach grumbling so i opened my eyes and tried to get up to get something to eat but suddenly.. someone tugged me from behind then wrapped it's strong arms around me tightly.

'what the-' i squeaked then i heard someone spoke in a very low and sleepy voice.

"stay still.."

I turned my head to see who it was.

'n-natsume?' i furrowed my brows. what the- oh right i completely forgot that i was with natsume the whole night, and that was the reason why i never felt so safe in my sleep.

I smiled and turned my body gently facing him. I hugged him tight and pressed my face on his lean chest, his ever manly and alluring scent filled my nose making me wanna hold him forever close to me. I buried my face more deeper, if only i could then i would consume all of his scent right then and there. I just can't help it, his scent is like a drug to me.. And so is he.. He's my sweetest drug.

"you'll create a hole in my chest if you keep that up polka." he uttered idly.

I blushed lightly realizing what i was doing. I tilted my head to see his face, i traced every contour of it.. His ever messy raven hair that compliments with his don't-you-dare-mess-up-with-me attitude, his intense but deep inside, gentle and protective eyes still shut, his pointed aristocratic nose, and those delectable lips that every woman would die for.. In short, he's a one hell of a guy! How am i so lucky!.

"Having fun?!." i startled a bit and woke up from my trance. He smirked and opened his eyes slowly to meet mine.

"you must have realized by now how lucky you are to have me right?" he smug.

"conceited jerk!" i rolled my eyes as he smirked widely.

Once again, i felt my stomach grumble. It made me wonder what time is it.. why am i so hungry?!

I turned my head to the bedside table searching for the clock. What i saw widened my eyes. I quickly rolled up and pulled myself away from natsume's arms.

His brows furrowed.

I snatched the small clock and stared at it closely.

"oh no! It's 9:45 a.m. already! We're gonna be late!"

~END OF MIKAN'S POV~

Mikan was almost 15 minutes late, she's rushing through corridor until she reached their classroom door, she paused for a moment and took a deep breath as she carefully twisted the doorknob.

"Sorry i was late-"

The room was filled with chattering and most of the students are out from their seats. She sighed in relief realizing their teacher hasn't arrived yet, luck in on her side today.

She left natsume this morning on his room and rushed to their classroom.

"where are you going?!" natsume asked while brushing his left eye.

"sorry natsume! we're gonna be late! See you at school. Bye!" she walked towards the door and opened it.

"hey! come back here polka!" he ordered sternly.

She turned to see him for the last time, he's still sitting in the middle of the bed.

"stop calling me polka!" she blurted and stuck her tongue out.

"i said come back-" too late she's gone.

Natsume hasn't arrive yet, even ruka so she thought they might've been together. She ran straight to hotaru instead.

"hotaru! i missed you!." she screamed and hugged her tight.

"We just saw each other yesterday idiot." she uttered coldly while pushing mikan's face away from her.

"meanie!" she freed her and pouted.

Hotaru stared at her for awhile.

"Something happened. What is it?"

"huh? What do you mean hotaru?."

"you were so down this past few days, but now you seem to be back to your normal idiotic self again so tell me what happened."

Mikan flushed. She knows clearly that natsume was the reason but she doesn't know how to tell her. It's not that she don't want to tell her, she's actually excited to tell her bestfriend but they're in the middle of the class and someone might hear her so she thought of telling her the whole story later when they're alone.

Mr. Narumi suddenly appeared and entered the room merrily which made her wanna thank him a hundred times for saving her from the awkward situation.
Hotaru threw her a "you can't hide anything from me" look before she moved to take her seat beside tobita.

'i'm sorry but not now hotaru.' she heaved a sigh.

"Sorry for being late class, it's just that i had to fix something and.. i have an announcement to make.." mr. narumi exclaimed happily.

Half the class furrowed their brows, some squealed from excitement and the rest just waited.

The door opened revealing natsume and ruka. They both went straight to their seat ignoring mr. narumi's presence. Squealing from natsume's fangirls echoed.

"hey it's natsume!"

"natsume's back!"

"oh my gosh! He looked much hotter than before!"

"i missed you natsume!"

Natsume just shrugged and explored his eyes to look for mikan. She wasn't sitting in front of him like she usually do, instead she sat beside Yuu Tobita that made natsume clench his teeth.

He turned his intense gaze to ruka.

Ruka nodded lightly. He stood and made his way to mikan's seat. Mikan tilted her head to ruka who's standing beside her.

"yes ruka?" she furrowed her head in confusion.

"mikan.. Can i change seats with you for awhile? I just need to talk to Yuu about something. If that's fine with you?" ruka asked nicely.

She twisted her head to ruka's seat, there was natsume staring at her. She gulped. She's having an idea what it was about, so she's having second thoughts.

"please?.." he pleaded giving her a puppy eyed look.

She heave a sigh. Who in the world could reject ruka's charm specially when he's pleading like that?!

She rolled her eyes lightly. Maybe it wouldn't hurt that much if she sat beside him for now and there ain't no reason for her to get embarrased since he's her boyfriend now right? Or is he? well.. He told her he loves her so natsume's her boyfriend now right? Right? Oh whatever! As long as they both love each other, nothing else matters.

"alright." she finally answered.

Ruka smiled and thanked her. She stood and sat beside natsume.

He smirked lightly. Oh how she loves to wipe that smirk of his face.

"stop blushing, you look like an idiot."

Mikan clenched her teeth and threw him a deadly glare.

"shut up sly fox!" she uttered trying to lower her voice so that their teacher wouldn't hear them.

His smirk grew wider. She just rolled her eyes.

'didn't changed one bit after all.' she thought.

"ehemm.." mr. narumi faked a cough.

"as i was saying, we have a new transfer student!" he said clapping his hands.

The classroom door opened and everyone turned to see who it was. The new student walked in front and stood beside mr. narumi shyly.

All the guys eyes widened and squealed seeing the new transfer student. Some girls furrowed their brows and some including mikan and hotaru just stared.

The transfer student is a girl, a pretty girl with an icy blue eyes and hair. She's actually the most prettiest girl mikan ever saw and she looked really nice and innocent.

"isn't she pretty nat-" she turned to natsume and was cut off by his reaction. His eyes widened as well as the other guys but he looked somewhat confused. She trailed to where natsume was looking, he was staring at the new student in front of the class.

She furrowed her brows. She never saw natsume reacted like that for a girl, not even for her.. How come he looks at that girl differently? Does he know her or something?

"everyone.." the teacher spoke and she snapped out of her confusion.

"..this is Ibaragi Nobara, your new classmate please be nice to her." he continued cheerfully.

'Ibaragi.. Nobara..'

'Nobara?..'

'Her name is familiar.. I think i heard it before..' she thought trying to find something in her mind.

'..but where-' she paused and switched his gaze to natsume.

'right! I remember! natsume mentioned her name last night.. And even mistaken me for her!'

"Natsume.." she crooned. He seemed startled just a tiny bit and met her eyes.

"y-you know her right?" she hesitated to ask but still did.

He paused for awhile. He shifted his gaze away from mikan and nod once lightly.

"you've mistaken me for her when i entered your room.. S-so you must be c-close to each other since she can-" she was cut off.

"That girl belongs in the dangerous ability class. That's why i know her." he uttered coldly.

He really look annoyed and she's confused as to why.

'dangerous ability?! That innocent looking face?!'

"Nice to meet you all." nobara uttered and smiled sweetly. Most of the guys squealed while the other girls raised their eyebrows as much as they could.

"alright nobara you can look for your seat now." Mr. Narumi stated.

~MIKAN'S POV~

After class, i went straight to my room. I told everyone including natsume that i'll look for my missing notebook on physics but the truth is i just wanted to be alone for awhile.

I really don't know what to think, natsume told me that she's a part of the dangerous ability class, and that is the reason why she knows her but.. He looked so surprised seeing her that it made me think that there must be something else.. And to think that natsume mistaken me for nobara.. That only means that she's been there in his room before!.

"who is that nobara anyway?!" mikan blurted.

I'm not mad at her or anything.. However, i'm just so damn confused about what is going on between her and natsume.

"ughhh!" i rolled my eyes and let myself fall on my bed. I shut my eyes for a moment.

'But.. Natsume told me that he loves me right? So i guess there is no reason for me to doubt him..'

Natsume mentioned that she's at the dangerous ability class also and maybe that is the reason why.. Maybe he used to go out to some missions with nobara-

wait-

I opened my eyes and quickly pulle myself up.

"Is he doing dangerous missions again for the school?!"

"It can't be! I have to talk to him!."

I stood and got out of my room swiftly. I went straight to his dorm but he wasn't there. Maybe ruka knows where he is though i'm not sure where ruka's room is.

I wandered around the corridor looking for ruka's dorm when i came across a certain room who's door is slightly opened.

There must be someone inside who knows where ruka's room is located so i gently pushed the door and peeked only to be surprised with what i saw.

I froze for awhile before i gently took a few steps backward.

It was natsume and nobara..
Nobara's arms were wrapped around natsume's neck and she's kissing him.. and he's also kissing her.

'what's happening? What is this?!."

Tears started to form in my eyes. I covered my mouth with my both hands hoping that they wouldn't hear my weeps.. I slowly turned and ran as fast as i could, my tears streamed down through my cheeks endlessly..

This feeling is familiar to me.. I felt this before.. When natsume turned me down years ago.. And when he made me feel worthless in front of the whole cafeteria.. the only difference is that this time.. It's much painful than it was and that i don't think i could handle it anymore!

"You said you love me.."

"..but you lied! You're a liar natsume!" she cried as she continued running nowhere.

End Of Chapter Eight.

~nooo! not again! poor mikan!. T_T

What will happen to her now?! and what would natsume do to get her back?
