.15. Ice Friend

I was sitting in class as Narumi-sensei was talking about the X-mas ball. "Tomorrow is the day the whole school starts preparing for the Christmas Ball! The decoration team is in charge of decorating the venue and the giant tree, the cake team is in charge of making the giant Christmas cake for the party! We'll split into these two groups and start working tomorrow!!" All I heard from him is cake!!!!! I was thrown out of my thoughts when Natsume dragged me with him. "Hey!" I yelled at him. He rolled his eyes. "We're in the cake team." Ruka said happily. Natsume let me go and we walked towards Mikan, Tobsasa-senpai, Misaki-senpai, Hotaru, and Yuu. "HITOMI!!!" Mikan jumped on me hugging me tightly. Hotaru was able to get Mikan off of me. I seen Tobsasa-senpai smirk. "Ruka-pyon isn't here because of cake, but because of Mikan!" He said happily. I seen him blush as Mikan looked confused. How naive can she be? Seriously? "Shut... Shut up baldy!" Ruka said. I would say yelled, but that wouldn't really be yelling. "Uhh, wrong... That... You shadow! Um.." He stumbled on his words. I giggled at how cute it was. Natsume glared at me. "What?" I asked him slightly annoyed that he was glaring at me for no reason. Tobsasa-senpai and Misaki-senpai both laughed and started patting him and mumbling things. "I didn't know Ruka-pyon and Tobsasa-senpai were so close." Mikan said. I nodded in agreement. I giggled and gave Ruka a hug. "Maybe leave the insults to Natsume, k?" His face was still red. I could feel Natsume glares. I let Ruka go and I ran and hugged Natsume too. "Stop glaring at me!" I whispered/yelled in his ear. He pushed me off. I must've shocked everyone because they were all staring in shock. "What? Does everyone want a hug?" I pouted. Tobsasa-senpai mumbled something that I couldn't hear. I gave him a weird look as he pointed at Natsume. I looked at Natsume who had my locket on. I told Tobsasa-senpai that I gave him a locket and a letter for his birthday. I blushed looking at the locket. Natsume looked at the locket putting it in his shirt so people couldn't see it. I smiled and gave Natsume a gentle hug. "Did you read the letter?" I asked him quietly so only he could hear me, he nodded in response. I let him go as we all walked into a building. Mikan was going on about how big the tree was. Soon everyone was separated. I sighed as I bumped into someone. I fell and so did the other person. "Sorry." It was a girl. I gave her a sweet smile. I stood up and helped her up. "It's fine!" I say. "Hitomi!!!" I looked to see Mikan whining. I sighed walking over to her. "I can't do anything!" Mikan yelled. I looked over to the girl who was behind me. I grabbed her and pulled her towards me and Mikan. "We're here to help!" I yelled happily. Me and Mikan helped the girl out of her coat. "Thank you." She said. She's so cute!! It turns out she's a first year middle schooler. She's so pretty. "I'm Ibaragi Nobara." She said. "I'm Tanaka Hitomi." I said kindly. "I'm Sakura Mikan." Mikan responded. Nobara-chan, she has such a cute name. "Our job is to turn these!" Mikan yelled happily. "So Nobara-chan, what's your Alice?" I asked helping out Mikan. "My Alice type is Ice." She said. "Ice Alice!" Me and Mikan both said in awe. "D-do you think you can cool these quicker??" Mikan asked. "I.. Think... Yeah, yeah I think I can." She said. I wanted to see her Alice. She took in a deep breath. Nobara-chan, Mikan, and I all stood in shock. "W-what happened?!" Mikan yelled. "The sponge cakes are all frozen..." Mikan added. "Sponge cakes don't freeze right?" Someone said. We all let out a sigh of relief. Natsume walked over and gave Nobara-chan a glare. "What are you doing here?" He asked. He looked over at me and Mikan. He glared at Nobara-chan once more. "Get back to your cocoon." He said walking off. "I'm sorry Mikan, Hitomi... I actually still can't control my Alice..." She said. I looked back at Natsume and glared at him. "If that's the case.. I have a plan!" Mikan yelled happily. "I have the notification Alice! If we use our Alice's at the same time, the power might merge and we can cool the sponge cakes!!" I nodded in agreement. Mikan and Norbora both started to use there Alice's. I could tell they were struggling. I used my blue fire alice and layered the cakes so they wouldn't completely freeze again. "W-we did it!!" I smiled and hugged both of them. We did this to all of the cakes and we were finished. Nobara went to go get some water. "I had fun." I said to no one. Natsume hit my head and I fell out of the chair I was laying in. "Hey!" I yelled at him. "You said we needed to talk, right?" That's right... I completely forgot I was going to tell him.... "Right... Follow me." I said walking off.
