A/N: Hello! To those who reviewed my first fic "Wish", many thanks to you. It took me a long time to upload another story because of the so-called "Writer's block". I personally think I'm not much of a writer but, at least through fan-fictions I can express myself and release some tensions that I feel. So, here it is and hopefully, you'll enjoy...


Just Like Mikan

A normal day at school would be something like seeing kids running back and forth from their classes, a group of people doing some "study session" or preferably called, hanging out with friends. In our school, Alice Academy is not what it seems from the outside. This school doesn't let "normal" people enroll in our school. Most of us here are called "Alices". Even our teachers here are "Alices". Which means, people like us are superior than most human beings.

By the way, My name is Sumire Shoda of class B, First Year Middle School Division. My Alice is Cat and Dog Physicality from the Somatic Ability type. I'm a two-star student and I'm the president of the "Natsume and Ruka fanclub".

Ah, whenever these two handsome, young guys cross my path, my heart skips a beat. They both think that I'm a seriously deranged or obssesive fangirl of theirs... (A/N: Which is true? ü )

They don't take me seriously... Especially during the times where I've confessed my feelings to them, not to mention that those times were quite a lot... There's this barrier that somewhere, in their life, that I'm not a part of...

I don't know why but, this girl who came in our school a few years back that goes by the name 'Mikan Sakura', she was able to befriend the both of them, and though unwillingly, I also became a part of her circle. She helped me a lot of times, but me? I've always looked at her as a rival. All I could say is that she's quite stupid but not totally incompetent, definitely not like her bestfriend.

I hate to admit this, but I've grown quite fond of her as well. She accepted me as a friend while knowing the fact that I made her first weeks here in the Academy a living hell. But time passed by and eventually, I can say that I admire her cheerful and optimistic personality and would want to be a better friend and classmate to her...

I also envy her. Natsume and Ruka accepted her in their life. Although Ruka is obviously a friend to Mikan while Natsume my love, he always teases her or makes her terribly angry most of the time, she would later on seem to forget everything that he's said or done to her.

If I'll compare Ruka and Natsume, it's Natsume I like the most. He has this mysterious aura and... I don't know... He's very good-looking as well...

During the years that I've been with Mikan, Natsume looks like he actually cares for her. He hides it by annoying her or to simply say, he just won't admit that he loves her... And knowing that fact, it hurts... It feels as if my heart was stabbed by a sharp knife that is slowly being taken out...

I know I don't have the right to prevent Natsume to like other girls. Who am I in his life anyway? I'm just a nuisance and I'm just a bother and of no use and help to him...

But I can't help it... Eventhough I'm already friends with Mikan, there's this side in me that somehow loathes her...

All I know is that, Natsume is not my knight in shining armor... Neither is Ruka, because he's obviously fallen for the "Ice Queen" eventhough she keeps on blackmailing him...

All I can do right now is to just admire them from afar and hopefully, be able to befriend them... Just like Mikan...
