A Summer Stuck With You (An Alice Academy Fanfic) - COMPLETE

Unexpected Reactions

"Welcome boys! Welcome to Nihau island beach resort! Blalala..." (I'd rather not elaborate on this much!)

Natsume still carried the huge case with his right hand and his left was occupied by his own things. The three other guys, Tsubasa, Ruka, and Yuu were also on their stuff, though they kept worrying on Mikan's recent situation inside the baggage.

The whole population of the academy's boys were now quite crammed inside the hall of Nihau, and everyone felt sleepy because of the long speeches that Natsume had to burn part of the chairman's hair to make his talking shorter to a sure end.

And so when the whole place got mixed up with the owner of the resort panicking with his half toasted toupee on stage, Natsume and the gang easily slipped out of the scene and proceeded to their rooms. To everyone's luck Mikan's four good Samaritans (duh?) turned out room mates, together with their blind reading blonde friend. Koko wasn't much of a burden to them, and even if he knew of Mikan being around, he wouldn't mind, and so they were calmed. Though, they still didn't inform him about her.

As soon as the Hot4 had locked themselves in their room (except for Koko, who was specially appointed to read the chairman's roasted mind if it was still doing well), all three of them crowded the fire wielder on his bed as he unlocked the case.

"You can come out now, idiot." He smirked, lifting the lid up and he pulled out his soaked manga that lied on her face.

"Shit. That idiot drooled on it!"

"There goes your 300 rabbit manga." Yuu joked as everyone else laughed except Natsume of course.

After the trace of laughter finally drained down, they all looked down at her with beaming eyes, about to tease her for the shame she'd got.

But, all smiles slowly broke away when out rolled a weird, unenergetic Mikan, soaked wet with tears and sweat. Her eyes were shut, and her lips hanged, in a creepy kind of way.

With weird worried faces, the stared at each other, confused and baffled.

"Wake up, silly." Yuu poked her sides yet she didn't move.

She looked a little pale as her clothes stuck to every curves of her body. Her lips were white and her eyes looked dark like bruises, which made the four's heartbeats race even faster.

"Mikan... You could wake up now..." Ruka forced a smile on his lips.

Tsubasa knelt closer and gave her a gentle shake, "Hey... I smell fluff-puffs..."

But no matter what tease or call they made, Mikan never responded. The three kept waking her with tons of ways they could think of, but to no avail.

They stared at each other once again, breathing heavily and they answered each other with confused shrugs, until...

"Get out of the way!" Natsume hollered rudely and shoved them all from around her.

"Stop it!" he growled, pushing through as he examined her face with wide worried eyes.

Ruka's eyes showed a little pinch of jealousy, yet he held back words.

"No... Polka-dots! Damn you... wake up!" he shouted at her face yet it didn't budge.

Mikan... Wake up... Please... I beg of you... his thoughts raced with the beat of his heart and this lasted about minutes as they anticipated with uneasy faces.

Ruka slowly stood up, "What've we done?" he whispered and then noticed a drop of water fell on Mikan's cheeks.

Everyone knew it came from Natsume (but correction, it wasn't a drool), and it didn't take long for them to realize he was holding back tears.
