Well, here it is: The first chapter of my very first fanfic ever. I'm quite nervous. I had many doubts about whether to write one or not and I still have but I'm going to try anyways so I'll stop blabbering now and start this thing.
Really do hope you enjoy. This is only the warming up chapter so don't be fooled by it. Please proceed to chapter 2 before you decide this isn't a good story. If you still don't like it, then I accept that completely.
Please read and review, otherwise I won't know if anyone has actually read it and if it is worth to continue.
(If you notice grammar or spellings faults, please do not hesitate to tell me.)
Disclaimer: I don't think anyone here will be surprised when I say that I do not own Gakuen Alice nor its characters.
Note: All characters are now 17 years old.
Riiing,Riiiiiing,Riiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing.
A certain brunnette was startled and very annoyed by this terrible sound.
"I hate this clock, that thing gives me the creeps." she muttered, "Shut it!".
Mikan crashed her fist onto the poor clock, destroying it and making it nothing more than a pile of metal junk. (she became quite strong)
"There, that's better...hm wait...damn!. Now I don't even know what time it is. Suppose I'm late as always, I'd better hurry", she thought.
Mikan flew out of bed and dashed off to the bathroom. She took a quick shower, "jumped" into her uniform, brushed her teeth, put on a bit of mascara and lip gloss and brushed her long, shiny brown hair. She looked at herself in the mirror, a young woman withlarge brown eyes with little dots gold in them stared back. She had become, to be honest, a beautiful woman.
Her lips were full, her smile ever so bright and her body was the dream of every high school boy. She had a C cup and it suited her perfectly.
Remembering that she was probably late she hurried to her classroom, but when she opened the door she found:
Nobody,except for a young man withbroad shoulders leaning against a chair, his face covered with a manga. The man looked up, reacting to the sound of Mikan entering.
A pair of breathtaking crimson eyes gazed at her.
"He becomes more handsome every day, if that's even possible." Mikan admitted to herself.
Mikan wasn't as dense anymore as she used to be, she had to thank her friends for that, all those talks with Hotaru, Yuu and Narumi (that were kind of awkward) and hanging out with world's number one pervert: Natsume Hyuuga, did have its consequences. She was grateful for it however, not knowing what other people were talking about and always being the last to know did become quite annoying. But now, after being taught about a great deal of things she found herself being quite good at understanding other people's feelings, probably because of her caring nature.
She went over to the manga-addict and placed herself on a chair before his desk.
"Ohayo Natsume!"
"Hmn" ( Our favorite raiven-haired boy is still his old self, but they did became close friends however)
"Where is everyone? Classes should already have started, shouldn't they?"
Natsume looked at her with a flicker of amusement in his crimson eyes,
"Polka Dots, I know it's hard for you but try to use your brains once in a while, before they completely disappear."
He looked at her and (she expected it already) smirked.
Annoyed and unpleased with the nickname she puffed her cheeks and tried to catch the hint he had given her.
Natsume was pleased that he could still tease her after all those years and watched her mulling over what he had said.
Not having the time he decided to break the news to her: "It's Saturday, little girl."
Nani!! I could have slept way longer then. She was pouting one moment and the other she was surprised because Natsume took her wrist and started dragging her into the hallway.
After a lot of yelling that she could walk by herself and demanding where he was taking her, the raiven-haired boy finally opened his mouth:
"That stupid gay teacher told us to go to the principal."
"Huh? What would they want I wonder?", she said.
Finally they stood for the huge wooden door that lead to the Principal's office and knocked.
Mikan had already been here once, when they announced to her that she had the copy and steal alice. She had been so surprised and a little uncomfortable because she didn't like the word "stealing", it made her look like some sort of thief. However the new alice had its advantages, she became a three star in no time. And with a lot of hard work she even became a special star on her 16th birthday. Everyone had been so happy for her.
She couldn't help but feel a little nervous and Natsume could notice it just by looking at her face.
"Hey little girl, you don't have to take your name so seriously to start wearing sakura-flowered underwear."
The named girl cheeks filled with a delightful pink : NATSUME!! You looked again, you pervert!! Aren't you getting too old for that!!
Mikan's voice filled the hallway and bounced of the walls.
"Look who's talking, printed underwear girl", the accused pervert shot back.
Our brunette took in a deep breath to give him a piece of her mind just when the door was opened by Narumi,
"Ah Mikan! I already thought I heard your beautiful voice."
Mikan sweat dropped, remembering her yelling.
Because of Natsume's teasing Mikan completely forgot about her nervousness.
They all went in, greeted the principal and took place in front of his desk.
When the principal started speaking even Natsume paid attention for once.
"These last years all the Alice Academies have started to become closer with each other and made bonds. But we feel that even though the different Alice Academies are connected, the students are not. So we decided that we should start a student exchange program. This way, pupils from different schools will get to know each other and learn from each other. We selected you two to go because this is still an experiment so we figured we should send two special star students who will have no trouble managing themselves in a new school. The exchange would be for 6 months and you are allowed to take a friend with you so that you won't be lonely. The Alice Academy you would attend to is the one in America.
We don't want to force you so you get 2 days to decide whether you'll participate or not. But remember, it's a great honor to represent our school and you would have a lot of new experiences when you return."
Mikan and Natsume were quiet for a few moments until the cheerful brunette spoke:
"If Hotaru will accept to come along with me that I'm glad to go. Although I will miss my other friends, it's a great opportunity and it's only for 6 months. So I accept!", she said happily.
The crimson-eyed boy looked at her for a moment while she was waiting for his answer. When he answered that he'll go and would take Ruka with him she felt very relieved. She knew that she would miss him otherwise, he had become an important part in her life. They were almost always together: in school, at lunch, after school at their favorite sakura tree, at central town, when they were training and other places.
She didn't know that Natsume would've never declined since he knew his brunnette would go. Yes, his brunnette; she wasn't his girlfriend but he didn't allow other guys flirting with her because she was gorgeous, cheerful and well liked by everyone. He admitted to himself a long time ago that she meant a lot to him, why bother to deny it if it was obvious?
After calling Ruka and Hotaru over and explaining the situation to them they accepted as well. Hotaru was thrilled because she would earn a lot of money by selling her inventions.
After sorting out all of the details, it was decided they would leave in 2 weeks to go to the Alice Academy of America.
Little did they know, things would not go as planned. Not. at. all.
I just finished a chapter, I just finished a chapter ( dancing around in my room). Okay I finished a chapter, but was it any good? Like I said, this chapter is only the warming up for the real story to start. Please let me know what you think and what I should improve. I would be very grateful if no one send any flames, my confidence in my writing is already little.
Next chapter: Mikan makes preparations and they fly off to America. But the story is called: "Unexpected hell or perhaps paradise?", so it's obvious something will happen to our friends. Something unexpected.
