DISCLAIMER: I do not own Gakuen Alice C:

Sprite, Pepsi, Ice Lemon Tea, 7-up, F&N Groovy Grape, Outrageous Orange, Cheeky Cherry. Coca… Cola?

I want…

I need…

"I really need my coke now." I got up miserably from the bed. Rubbing my eyes to clear my vision, I grabbed for those shitty glasses, overlooking the clock beside the bed.

12.34am

"Seriously, 5 minutes into my sleep and I already need some sugar."

Remembering buying a can of coke earlier this morning. I carefully placed my feet on the carpeted ground, trying my best not to wake the Ice Queen up from God-knows-what dream. Trust me, waking the Queen up from her beauty slumber will only lead to my early death. And let's just say I'm too young to die.

My mind revolved around the Great Almighty Coca-Cola. Who would have thought one drink can bring such sweet bliss? I mean, literally.

I tiptoed towards very thing that would lead me to heaven, the Fridge. I gave the fridge handle a tug, but I realised I needed more than just a tug to pull this stubborn thing opened.

I can't believe I'm using all my strength just to open a fridge! Pook .Finally….

"Stop what you're doing and put your hands in the air" I gulped, slowly turning my head towards the bed. "Don't touch my safe, you bastard." She murmured. Phew, it's just typical Hotaru talking in her sleep. Now where were we? Right, coke.

Turning my head back to the fridge, and there stood Sprite, Pepsi, Ice Lemon Tea, 7-up, F&N Groovy Grape, Outrageous Orange, Cheeky Cherry. Wait… no coke? I turned my head. Whats that? My coke beside Hotaru.? And its empty? Man! I should have slept after her. Oh my God... I need my coke… Coke... Now!

I grabbed some loose change on the table and crept out of the hotel room, hoping with crossed fingers that I wouldn't get caught by Jinno-sensei, the dormitory master. And that's where I spotted the vending machine just down the hallway. At the very least they should have coke there right? This ain't going to take more than a minute.

Going down the hallway, I heard muffled voices . Well, looks like I am not the only one having cravings at night. The voices became louder and louder as I neared the vending machine. Coke… Coke… Coke… Coke... The next moment, I was in front of the vending machine. Finally. By then, I could hear the voices clearly.

"Get away from MY room door sluts, I need my sleep." A deep husky voice hissed.

"C'mon, just one night won't hurt you right? We promise not to bother you after tonight. Right, girls?" This time it was a girl's voice purring in its fake innocence. Anyone could tell that this wasn't just going to be for one night. Wait, why am I even prying into others conversations? I mean I came here for coke right? Hurriedly, I slotted the coins into the machine and jammed the button. A can of coke plopped down. I grabbed the coke can and opened it, gulping down the refreshing beverage

Suddenly, a cold hand grabbed my elbow. In shock, I released my precious can of coke, spilling it across the floor.

"About time you came right? Let's go in." He snapped. His icy voice sent shivers down my spine it was full of annoyance but still… Unbelievably sexy… Wait. MY COKE!

Before I could protest, he was already pulling me towards his muscular body. I swear I could feel his abs right through his shirt. And the girls, mainly a strawberry blonde, a seaweed-haired girl and a few other girls with figures that could easily beat those fashion models, just stared at us, spectating this exceptionally 'thrilling' show.

"Wait! Natsume-kun!" The strawberry-blonde cried out, reaching for the drop-dead-gorgeous-but-extremely-annoyed guy.

"Don't even try to touch me Blondie." The guy threatened in a menacing tone, before shoving me inside the hotel room, and slamming the door.

My heart was racing under my chest, what in the world is he trying to do in a school dormitory? I backed up against the wall, unable to hold my fear any longer. "HELP! Somebody, please! He is going to rape me!" I wailed, closing my eyes and praying he wasn't going to take my virginity. "Take my money! No, wait. Don't take my money. Just let me go! Oh God can you hear me?"

"Shut up fat bitch, or you won't even live to see the day! "The soon-to-be rapist clamped his hand over my mouth. I pursed my lips together, cowering under him. He peered into the peephole. It was silent enough to hear a pin drop.

"What are you girls doing here so late at night? Sneaking into the boys' room? Making a ruckus again? Get back to your rooms before this turns ugly!" A deep voice bellowed from behind the door. Looks like Jinno-sensei got them.

"But Sir, there is a gir-" A voice, I assumed it was Blondie's, pleaded but was cut off immediately. "NOW! And I want to see ALL of you girls tomorrow morning, 7am, in my office." The girls groaned but were soon silenced back to their rooms.

The soon-to-be rapist turned his attention back to me. His eyes trailed my body, from my toes all the way up to the ends of my hair. Then, he did something I least expected: he raised his eyebrows at me and spoke six words. "Now that's what I call BIG."

"What?" It took me a few second before I finally registered what he was saying. "Fine! I'm fat! And you're just… Just…" I stuttered, trying to find the right words to describe this Greek god.

"I'm just awesome, yeah thanks. Now, get out before you kill my eyes." He turned his head to the door.

I grunted and raised my head not willing to give up my pride. "My pleasure!"

"I don't want to swear, but I really feel like doing it now." I sighed. I was completely locked out because I forgot to bring my room card out and waking Hotaru up will only result in me getting hit by that Baka-gun of hers or even worse. Why did she even create such a monster? I sighed again. It wouldn't be nice to wake others up just because I forgot my key. Well, I guess I just have to stick to sleeping on the couch outside. Brrrr… It's really cold out here huh?

Now that feels extra warm. And it's soft too! Mmmm…

"Hey, you alright there?" What?

The man's voice grew louder and louder. "Are you okay? It's really cold out here."

My eyes blinked open as I realised that I really had slept through the night outside my room and there was a sweater around me. "Yeah, I'm fine." I mumbled, still feeling weary from the continuous change of sleeping positions last night.

"What time is it?" I wiped the drool off my face, rubbed my eyes and combed out my hair, hoping to look at least presentable. But when I looked up, I knew that wasn't enough. There was something special about his hair, maybe it's because it looked so silky smooth or maybe it how his golden hair seem to spill over his crystal blue eyes. Those eyes were as clear as the sky and like the deep ocean it seemed to draw me closer.

I quickly stood up, hugging the sweater tightly around me. "Errr… Hi."

Author's Note:

Mikan and Hotaru are in their freshman year in Bear University, so they are 18. Bear University, being very high-tech has something like the hotel room system where your door automatically locks and you have to use your room key to enter. The dormitories are also sex-integrated.
