Chapter 1 - The Start of Something New
A brunette by the name of Mikan was running around the school compounds looking for a certain someone with silky jet black hair. She finally spotted him sitting under a sakura tree, staring at the sky. His back against the trunk of the tree. He was thinking about something and judging by his expression Mikan could tell he was lonely. She spent her first few years in Alice Academy trying to make him smile and without realizing it her plans strangely succeeded so she vowed to herself that if anything were to happen to any of her friends, she would always be there for them. Through thick and thin, always.
She walked up to him slowly and carefully sat herself beside him, making sure not to disturb him. He, on the other hand already noticed her there since she was screaming his name throughout the Academy. He didn't mind her next to him because he had already realized his feelings for her a few years ago even though he doesn't show it through all the name calling and underwear peeking, he cares for her deeply and she shares his feelings too but she failed to notice it yet.
After 15 minutes, he decides to take a peek at what shes doing and to his surprise her head had fallen on his shoulder. Mikan Sakura was asleep. Natsume smiled. He had a strong urge to hug her and let it all out but ignored it. He had a reputation to take care and being a hothead, he wasn't going to let love destroy his "image". He felt so guilty and ashamed every time he made her cry. At least he knows how to feel.
A song was forming in his head and it was almost time for lunch. Without a second thought, he swiftly lifted the brunette in his arms (bridal style) and carried her up to her room before classes end and people stare. Her door was unlocked. Typical. He laid her on her bed and tucked her in but his urges were kicking in again so, he decided to just quickly kiss her forehead before leaving the room. Sure that no one had witnessed the kiss, he coolly walked down the hall as if nothing happened and proceeded to his room to write down the words that were stuck in his head and find the perfect tune for it.
Natsume Hyuuga had failed to notice the blinking red light attached to the smoke detector on the ceiling. Hotaru Imai saw everything. A whizzing noise was heard from across her room. She had the image in 3 different sizes. Wallpaper, Poster and Wallet/Pocket size. Ruka Nogi, her personal monkey and loving, faithful boyfriend was busy stacking them according to size for the grand sale during lunch. There was only one sentence that was revolving around his brain. "Natsume is gonna kill me".
Class the Next Morning
It was a Thursday morning to be exact and Narumi sensei is going to pick another set of students (one boy and one girl) to perform their latest material and today's lucky pair is none other than...drum roll please...
Natsume Hyuuga and Sakura Mikan
"WOAH!! Finally! Natsume is gonna sing!!" screamed the entire classroom. Mikan was going to sing first as Natsume had to get his guitar from his room (he asked Ruka to get it for him. Excuse: i'm too lazy. Truth: wants to hear Mikan)
"i wrote this song yesterday. I hope you all like it. I'm gonna need assistance from Hotaru, Sumire, Anna and Nonoko. This song is called "I'll Be There For You".

Everyone starts screaming and clapping asking for an encore but Narumi sensei refused their plea. Natsume was so touched by her words. He couldn't take his eyes off her but then again it was his turn next. They kept silent. Anxiously waiting for him to start. He grabs a stool and makes himself comfortable. tuning his guitar a bit before speaking through the microphone which was on a stand. "I wrote this song recently. Its called "Tears Don't Fall". He starts strumming his red and black acoustic guitar.(its in my other fic, 'Save Yourself')

With blood shot eyes, I watch you sleeping
The warmth I feel beside me is slowly fading
Would she hear me, if I called her name?
Would she hold me, if she knew my shame?
There's always something different going wrong
The path I walk is in the wrong direction
There's always someone hanging on
Can anybody help me make it better?
Your tears don't fall, they crash around me
Her conscious calls, the guilty to come home
Your tears don't fall, they crash around me
Her conscious calls, the guilty to come home
Would she hear me, if I called her name?
Would she hold me, if she knew my shame?
There's always something different going wrong
The path I walk is in the wrong direction
There's always someone hanging on
Can anybody help me make it better?
Your tears don't fall, they crash around me
Her conscious calls, the guilty to come home
Your tears don't fall, they crash around me
Her conscious calls, the guilty to come
Your tears don't fall, they crash around me
Her conscious calls, the guilty to come home
Mikan was so touched by his song. A tear actually threatened to fall from her right eye. Natsume stood up and left the room. Everyone was speechless and moved to tears, even Narumi sensei, except for Hotaru of course. Mikan almost cried. Yuu, Koko and Ruka couldn't stop crying.Natsume was sitting under the sakura tree again today. The first place Mikan thought to look. She was looking for inspiration for another song and since she loved Natsume's song (she even bought the cd Hotaru was selling of Natsume singing. It sold about one million copies already. The entire Alice Academy population bought a copy. Including the teachers. Narumi bought 10 copies. 1 copy costs 100 yen).
She came to ask him for help but was shocked to see him in the same position as yesterday only he was...
...in tears.
