Another story! Hahaha! Man, I really am crazy. Geez before you know it, I'll have a hundred unfinished stories published in this site! XD
This was inspired by a friend's story, Meg Cabot's 'The Mediator', and Full Moon O Sagashite. I own none of these, including Alice Academy.

My Guardian Ghost
The sun was setting, the sky a mix of colors. Red orange, orange, yellow, blue and indigo, blended in the sky like paint on a canvas. A young teenage girl stood on the beach. Her long waist-length brown hair was fluttering in the wind. She was wearing a school uniform composed of a white blouse, black jacket, red skirt and black boots. On her left breast, the letters GA were elegantly embroidered.
If a person who is passing by sees the young maiden, one would think that she is just an ordinary teenage schoolgirl. Notice the word 'if'. Not every person who passes by gets a chance to see her. And if they do, they only spare her a second's glance before turning away and continuing to walk. They don't let their eyes linger a few more moments on the maiden's figure to see that she was transparent. And, that her feet are hovering a few inches over the ground.
Her honey-brown eyes express deep sorrow, and a sad smile could be seen playing on her lips. Silent tears were flowing down her sorrowful eyes as she looked at the horizon. The sun has almost completely set. Indigo and violet filling the sky as stars scattered everywhere. Then, the sun has set. And in a blink of an eye, the girl was gone.

'RING! RING!'
An annoying and loud sound filled a room. Judging from the mess, the clothes and other things in the room, it was a boy's. A groan could be heard coming from underneath black bed sheets as a hand snaked its way to the alarm clock. The annoying sound has stopped as the sheets were pushed aside to reveal a very handsome teenage boy. The teen had raven locks and crimson orbs. An annoyed expression etched on his handsome features.
He looked at the clock, 07:15? The lad obviously didn't care about the time as he just threw the clock wherever and fell back on his bed. He closed his eyes, ready to resume his slumber when a loud knock on his door jolted him awake.
"Natsume-nii? Natsume-nii! Get up and open this door before I get Tsubasa-nii to open it for me!" screamed a female voice from outside his room.
The lad, referred to as Natsume, sluggishly stood up and made his way to his door. The knocking continued which irritated the hell out of the boy making him think up of a way to get back at his little sister. He slowly unlocked the door, turned the knob and quickly pulled open the door, causing the poor girl to lose her balance and fall flat on the floor. Natsume snickered.
"Ouch! Now, that was rude!" the girl said. She had the same raven hair and crimson orbs as her brother, but she has a pale complexion unlike her brother's tanned one.
"I know, but what you did was impolite, Aoi." He countered.
"Grr… Anyway, Mom told me to get you to wake up since you never wake up by yourself and you always throw your alarm clock against the wall." She stated bluntly with an indifferent expression as she stood up, his brother not even offering her a helping hand.
Natsume glares at his sister and she glares right back. They glared at each other for three minutes before Natsume gave up and sighed.
"Fine, I'm up already. Now get outta my room or do you want me to force you out like last time?" He smirked at the panic that Aoi's eyes showed for a second. Aoi composed herself quickly and coolly left her brother's room.

Natsume finally finished getting ready in ten minutes. He wore a white long sleeved polo, black slacks and rubber shoes. He also wore a blue tie that hung loosely around his neck. His black book bag and jacket was in his hand over his shoulder. So, to make it short, even though he is wearing his uniform, he still looked pretty cool.
"Morning, little bro!" Tsubasa greeted as crumbs of food fell from his mouth. He was in the middle of eating the waffles their mum had made for them. He's also wearing the same uniform as Natsume.
Natsume pulled out a seat and sat down, then started eating his own breakfast. But not before looking disgusted at his older brother's actions and saying, "Don't talk with your mouth full, idiot."
Suddenly, a woman with blonde hair and red eyes entered the dining room. "Now, boys, don't ruin the morning with your petty fights." She told them sternly making Aoi snicker.
"Yes, Mom." The two chorused.
"Good boys. Now, hurry up before you're all late for your first day of school. You have 15 minutes."
"But, Mom, it only takes us five to get there!"
"And ten more to get to our classes." Aoi interrupted.
Tsubasa frowned and muttered a 'fine' before drinking the last drop of his juice and standing up. He kissed his mum goodbye and headed straight to the garage to get his bike. Natsume followed suit to get his skate board and Aoi, her skates.

The horrid traffic occupying the road made the siblings glad that they didn't ask their mother for a ride to school. They were by the sidewalk, waiting for the traffic lights to turn red so that they can cross safely. They weren't in that much of a hurry; Alice Academy was only about three blocks away. Out of boredom, Natsume scanned the vicinity; his crimson orbs caught sight of a girl wearing the academy's uniform. But she was just standing there, obviously having no intention to walk towards the academy. He kept his gaze on her and studied her features, she was a brunette, her hair reaching her mid-back, and she has porcelain skin. She wasn't that beautiful, but she wasn't ugly either. He was still trying to figure out what was so different about this girl when a car passed by and obscured his vision of her. His eyes widened when he saw that the girl was no longer there after the car passed.

"See ya later, squirt." Tsubasa calls out to his younger sister who is already skating towards the middle school building, lifting up a hand to wave at her brother. The Hyuuga siblings have finally reached their destination and were going their separate ways.
The Hyuugas attend Alice Academy, a prestigious school that gives quality education and have students who excel in sports, adding to the school's excellence, proving that only the best of the best are accepted. The prominence of the school attracted quite a handful of parents who tried to get their children in with money; but the school's strict policy was not swayed by such temptations. But that doesn't mean that all of them are that way, some wealthy kids are actually talented and intelligent enough to pass the academy's entrance exam with flying colors. And that is what matters most to academy, superiority of an individual in academics and sports.
"Later, little bro,"
"Whatever." Natsume just walked away as if he wasn't related to Tsubasa and proceeded to search for his best friend, Ruka.
While looking for his best friend, he came across a group of girls crying. The one with raven hair seemed to be the most devastated; she was muttering the name 'Mikan' over and over, her face in her hands. Natsume didn't stay long and just walked away, continuing his search for his best friend.
But luck wasn't on Natsume's side when the bell suddenly rang. He cursed as he tried to remember his assigned homeroom number. Suddenly remembering it, he started to search for it, not minding the fact that he is already late.
He finally found his homeroom and was about to reach for the door knob when someone crashed into him, almost knocking him off balance. Angered by the person's clumsiness, he decided to reward the culprit with an ice cold glare. He took a good look at the culprit; blonde hair, purple eyes, a pink blouse, black slacks and leather shoes. Natsume blurted the first thought that came to his mind, not caring that the guy could possibly be a teacher; "Are you gay?"
The person just smiled at Natsume as if what Natsume said was not an insult. His purple eyes shone as he spoke, "Ah, you must be Natsume Hyuuga. My name is Narumi and I am going to be your home room teacher for the remainder of the school year. Is that alright with you?"
Natsume just shrugged and reached for the handle again but froze when Narumi put his hand on top of Natsume's. Natsume glared at him with an increased intensity, nobody touches Natsume Hyuuga without his consent.
"Natsume, would you mind waiting outside for a moment. I would like to surprise the class with a new student." Natsume grunted as he quickly pulled his hand away and let Narumi inside the room.
"Freaky gay teacher," Natsume muttered in annoyance as he massaged his temples.
-----
"Hyuuga Natsume." He stated coolly as an introduction. The moment Natsume walked in the door, the girls started screaming and squealing. Some of them even started fainting! The noise was too much for him to bear as he felt another headache coming along.
"Alright, then, who want to be Hyuuga's seatmate?"
That question caused chaos in the classroom. Girls shoved their seatmates off of their seats causing indignant comments from the poor guys. Natsume ignored their cries as he walked towards a blue-eyed blonde, a.k.a. Ruka Nogi, his best friend.
"Since this is the first day of school, free period everyone! I'll be at the Principal's Office if anything comes up." Narumi announced and then left the class room, leaving the students to do as they please.
"Kyaa… Isn't Natsume so cool? I mean, just look at him! Raven hair, crimson eyes, tanned skin! He also has that mysterious aura around him." A green haired girl ranted and sighed as she stared admiringly at Natsume.
"Shut it, Shouda. You've been praising him like a god." An amethyst eyed girl stared icily at Sumire as she said that.
"Lay off, Imai. I was just speaking my thoughts. You know what, if Mikan saw you right now, she'd be disappointed at how much you've changed." Sumire countered with a smirk.
Hotaru's eyes widened at Sumire's retort. She knew that what she said to her friend wasn't nice but what Sumire had told her was below the belt. Hotaru held her tongue, trying not to let their bicker evolve into an all-out verbal war.
Silently, the pink-haired Anna and blue-haired Nonoko watched at the sidelines, both having the same thoughts; We need you, Mikan. Hotaru and Sumire need you. Their fighting a lot lately, we don't want them to end up hating each other. We need you to prevent them from breaking their friendship.

The day went by like a breeze and soon enough, dismissal came. The students flooded the streets as they went their separate ways, some going home and some still spending time with their friends. The sun was setting once again and the girl with auburn hair and sad eyes watched the horizon. Soon enough, the amount of students have dissipated and the girl was once again alone. She was so engrossed at the view in front of her that she was shocked to hear someone asked her a question.
"Who are you?" she whirled around and saw a boy wearing a uniform similar to hers. She looked at the boy incredulously, her eyes wide and her mouth agape. The boy was indeed staring directly at her; she even looked left and right and saw that there was no one else around, confirming that he was talking to her.
"You can see me?" A nod from the boy answered her question.
.o.o.o.o.o.
So, what do you think? Oh! And guess who the boy is! Whoever guesses right gets a free cyber chocolate bar! :D Reviews and alerts are appreciated~ =)
