Chapter 1: Beginning Class Alice Academy
Ruka Nogi stepped out of his car with tears in his eyes. His mother had been able to keep him away from Alice Academy since he was five, but now it was his time to go. The academy would no longer allow him to refuse them, so he was stuck coming here. Without her.
Ruka didn't mind leaving his family behind; he knew that they would be able to continue communicating. But he was destroyed inside, knowing that he would have to leave his beautiful, blonde girl. Her hair was long and it flew around everywhere when they would go jogging at the beach. She loved the feeling of the wind in her face, and Ruka loved seeing her so happy. Whenever she was upset, Ruka would be there to comfort her. When she was lonely, he'd come to her and rub her back. When she was afraid, he'd hold her in his arms to dispel her fear. He loved taking care of her, and brushing her beautiful hair. But the relationship wasn't a one-sided thing. She took care of him as well. When Ruka fell down a well, she was there to go get help to save him. When his shorts caught on fire at his family's annual barbeque, she was the one to put them out. When he was being bullied in school and came home crying, she comforted him and went out for revenge, bringing the leader's hat home for him as a trophy. They were perfect for each other, and Ruka hated to leave her. He had promised that he would try to meet her again someday, since he knew he couldn't send her letters. His poor Suzy could not read.
Ruka remembered their tearful goodbye. He called her name and she came running. "I'll miss you! I love you, Suzy!" he whispered to her. She whined when he got up to go and bit his hand to keep him with her. But Ruka could not stay with his girl. When he got in his car and drove away, her tail dropped, and she became the saddest golden retriever in the country.
Ruka swore to do his best so that he would soon be able to return to his beloved. So he stood up taller and became ready to take on any challenges that came his way. He walked with determination, and he soon arrived at the school's office.
"I am Ruka Nogi. I'm a new student here. May I have my schedule of classes and uniform?" he asked confidently.
"Sure," the person behind the desk replied. "But first you have to fill out some papers. Here. There's a pen over there. Get to work."
He took the papers and a pen and got ready to fill them out.
Name?
Ruka Nogi.
Date of Birth?
March 16th
Alice?
Alice? What's an Alice? Hmm…I should probably ask the woman at the desk. "Excuse me, sir. What's an Alice?" he asked the person.
"…You don't know what your Alice is?"
"…No…"
"Then why would you fill out the forms?!?!?!" the man angrily asked.
"I…uh…I…I'm sorry!" Ruka cried out.
"Yeah, yeah. Just take this packet and get to your class," the annoyed man said.
"Yes sir! Thank you! Goodbye!" he said quickly, hoping to not annoy the man further. He half-walked and half-dashed out of the room.

When he came to a bench, he sat down on it and calmed down a little. He did not like to upset people. He never had, because he didn't like to see others in pain. Oh right, the packet, Ruka remembered. He took it out and began to read up on everything about this school. He learned about Alices, discovered that he had something called the "Animal Pheromone Alice", learned about the star ranking system and the ability classes, and he discovered that he was part of the active ability class, he found his schedule and a map, and he became ready to take on Alice Academy.
