Author's Note: Oh my gosh, I'm finally writing a story on this! Kyaaa! Okay, guys, this is my first... actually it's my first publish, not just my first fanfic... Um, I'm sorry if I get too crazy for you- I'm insane inside and out. None of the characters in this are original, so they belong to their respective creators. The story is original though, as far as I know. I took the Gakuen Alice characters & made a music kind-of theme. I hope you all like it! XD

-Author's note over-

"Hey, guys, did you see Natsume's concert on t.v. last night?!" the pink-haired girl, Anna asked.

"See it on t.v.?! I was there!" her best friend, Nonoko replied.

"Woah, really?! What about you, Mika-ah."

"I didn't see it," Mikan said emotionlessly, lifelessly staring out the window with her head diagonal, being placed on her right arm.

Anna & Nonoko looked at each other, then back at Mikan, "Did you not have any reception last night?" Anna asked.

"I did." They looked at each other, then back at Mikan.

"Did you not have the channel?" Nonoko asked.

"That's not it," she said not moving a millimeter. The two girls stared at each other.

"Th-Then what?" Nonoko faced the glum brunette. Mikan tried not to cry. Luckily, her childhood friend, Hotaru, spoke for her.

"Please just drop it, you guys- she's not feeling well," the elegant inventor pleaded with her eyes. Not many people could tell what Hotaru was feeling, but Mikan could tell even from just the tone of her voice.

'She's worried. She doesn't want me to break like last time,' she thought, her head still turned to the window, with her short bangs barely covering her eyes.

"Oh. We're sorry, Mikan-chan."

"I'm fine."

SLAM!

"Waah! It's Natsume-san!"

Twitch.

All the girls ran to the raven-haired boy who had just entered, putting his head down as if he was hiding his eyes from all the girls. Though, of course, two girls stayed where they were.

"Mikan," the blue-eyed teenager turned to her childhood friend that hasn't moved an inch unless you count the twitch. Hotaru was gonna tell her it was fine & all that crud but she chose not to. "I'm sure you'll get another chance."

"Maybe."

The famous Natsume had already reached two seats in front of them, his head still down & the crowd of girls right behind him. He was walking to his seat, but stopped in front of Hotaru.

Hotaru looked. Natsume sat right next to Mikan & she was in his way. She turned, "Sorry," she whispered while she walked away. Natsume sat down.

"Hey," He said, his eyes still covered with his messy dark hair.

"..." Mikan didn't want to say anything, but she wasn't that kind of girl. "Hi," she whispered but you could still hear her voice breaking a little. He shifted his eyes to her but you couldn't see the color.

'Her voice... was broken again. Do I remind her of someone? Why is she so depressed around me?'

Ding-Dong~

Class started. But Natsume's eyes didn't shift from the girl sitting next to him.

'Why?' he questioned himself again.

Three minutes into lunch, Natsume had just gotten his food & was deciding where to sit. A whole table of girls was shouting to sit with him but Natsume was completely oblivious to this- he didn't hear them. He was too focused on where he wanted to sit. He had a really big urge to sit by Mikan, but he knew that she probably wouldn't like that. Still, that didn't mean he didn't want to. He really did want to sit by Mikan, but he couldn't! Then he remembered- he had his best friend, Ruka. He had been completely fixed on Mikan. So much in fact, that he had forgotten about Ruka. Boy, what a friend he is! He finally walked over to Ruka and his table.

"Boy, took you long enough! You were just standing there! No offence, man, but you looked like an idiot!"

"Yeah, sorry," he sat down, "Just have my mind boggled," & he started to eat his lunch.

Over at Mikan's table was a little brunette staring lifelessly at her food. Yup, it's Mikan!

"Mikan," her raven-haired friend started, "When are you going to start eating your food?"

"Yeah," Mikan said, only moving her mouth to reply. Everything else stayed still.

"Mikan, you really should eat your food," the young inventor said.

"Uh-huh," this time she nodded her head. Okay, that's it- she's obviously too dazed to hear her. Hotaru put down her fork & picked up Mikan's.

"Mikan, snap out of it- eat already!" she put the fork in Mikan's face. Her eyes widened.

"Kya!" she backed away falling over on the bench. Her skirt & shirt went up. Her face started to turn red. "Kya!" she got back on her seat.

'Oh gosh.'

"...Mikan," Hotaru whispered. She got in close, "Mikan... um, please tell me you did have a bra on." Mikan blushed harder.

"M-My...They told me it wasn't big enough... to need one..." Hotaru was shocked. Even though she's a teenager, she didn't get a bra?!

"A-Alright, then," and she continued eating, her eyes covered by her short raven hair. But Mikan just sat there, a big blush on her face. She was bright red.

Ruka's table was three over from Mikan's, which means... Natsume saw it all. Blue polka dotted panties and... no bra... Both he and Ruka were blushing. A light pink on Natsume's face, about 9 cm long. And a really big blush on Ruka's face- it spread all the way across his face! And it was almost as red as Mikan's. They had both seen a girl's panties! And a chest! On the same girl, at the same time!

'Oh gosh,' Ruka said to himself.

'Flatlands,' Natsume thought.

'But that light blue!'

'Was cute.'

'I can't eat. I haven't started anyway,' Mikan thought to herself.

"Ho...Hotaru? Do you want my food? I don't... feel like eating it. So yeah," the little brunette barely whispered. The only reason Hotaru could hear her was because she was sitting right next to her & Mikan had some hoarseness in her voice.

"Uh, Mikan, you need to eat."

"I don't feel like it."

Blush.

In P.E. was the big trouble, though.

Mikan was sitting in the girls' locker room, a light blush on her face.

'Whelp, they know now.'

Everyday Mikan went to the bathroom to change. Every girl wondered why. Mikan hid it with actually going to the bathroom. But the truth was... she didn't. She only changed.

"C'mon, Mikan-chan! It's time for P.E.!" All her girl classmates were trying to cheer her up. Except for one who was watching with dangerous cat-like eyes having her arms crossed.

'Pathetic. All of her is pathetic. Especially her breasts. I suppose now I know why she mopes instead of trying to get Natsume's attention. She knows she's not good enough for him.'

Outside in the gym, however, was some confused bunch of boys.

"Where are all the girls?"

"They're never this late!"

"Somethin's up."

"They're all gone!"

"Are we in the wrong place?"

But two boys had a good idea of why all the girls weren't there. And these two boys were blushing at this reason.

Ruka Nogi. A bright pink spreading across his face.

And the famous Natsume Hyuuga. A faint pink lying 9 cm on his.

'She really didn't...' Ruka started in his head.

'have a bra...' Natsume was on the same page.

'Sakura must be in there.'

'Moping.'

'The girls must be trying to cheer her up.'

'They looked pretty surprised. How would she be able to hide it 'til now? Ah, who cares. I'd rather just relive the moment. No sense in rackin my brain for answers I might not get.' And his faint pink turned to a light one. Ruka was a little bit different- he was trying to avoid thinking about what he had seen.

"Mmn~" Ruka's eyes drifted to the left where just happened to be the girls' locker room. His blush turned brighter and a flashback finally came. His face turned completely red.

'Oh shoot.'

"Uh-uhh~ (satisfied sigh~)" then he got into a daze just like Natsume. Just that little flash of what he had seen was enough to make him give up & get into a daze.

'Cute.'

'Is this why I don't like any other girl? I'm a fan of flatlands?' Natsume questioned himself.

'Man... What if I could kiss her? Even on the cheek. Ah~ her cute little cheek.' It was getting harder for Ruka not to smile. As with Natsume who was smirking like a freak.

'Heh. Blue dots. No bra. She should keep it that way.' His smirk grew bigger & his blush turned red & spread a little more.

"Uhhh." No boy could overlook the evil aura around the hot rock star. Curee-peh!

Though Ruka was different. He was too dazed to realize Natsume's freaky aura- he was in his own world. They both were! Though Natsume's thoughts were worse, they were both thinking about the same girl... and the same feelings...

'Sakura~'

'Heh. Mikan.'

Ruka day-dreaming about a kiss, Natsume focused on a little fantasy that was probably encouraged by what had happened at lunch. But that's when some of the girls started coming in. Natsume, of course, acted normal with his cool look on his face. As if he had been like that the whole time. Ruka, however, couldn't exactly disguise his feelings like his raven-haired friend. A dreamy look in his big, blue eyes, his mouth turned into a little 0, and a pink blush lying across his face. But once the door opened that all changed. A twitching little smile came. Oh, shoot- he's in trouble now! He looked & he got even more nervous. ALL THE GIRLS WERE STARING AT HIM! Some amazed. Some blushing. But the thing that really scared him... was the NUMBERS! IT WAS ALL HIS CLASSMATES!

"R-Ruka-kun!" a girl with pink hair had gathered the courage to go up to him. Yup, Anna. "Um, wh-what... were you... thinking about, Ruka-kun?!"

"Uh-d-duh-I-N-Noth...ing much... just stuff..." And his blush brightened. He was reminded of what he was thinking earlier. It was hard to not relive it again. "Uh-da-da! Um! Um! I-nothing! Nothing at all!"

'Natsume's the real freak!' every boy thought to themselves, but they didn't say it- they knew what Natsume would do if they said anything.

But just then the girl Natsume & Ruka were fantasizing about came in with her childhood friend.

"What's everyone gathered for?" the brunette asked.

"I was just thinking the same thing. What's up?" the inventor asked. But unfortunately the people you'd eventually want to ask didn't hear any of it.

Ruka's blush was bright red by now, being even more reminded of lunch. And Natsume was just staring blankly. Tiny blush, as usual. Mikan didn't notice anything, but her friend sure did. She leaned over to Mikan.

"M-Mikan, maybe we should drop the subject," she whispered, her eyes looking blankly at Natsume.

"Huh?"

While they were arguing whether to drop the subject or not, a girl looked back at Ruka, her eyes widening as she did. Ruka was even more red than before!

"R-Ruka-kun?" Everyone looked.

But he didn't respond. He just stared at the brunette.

Mikan was still arguing with Hotaru. Neither of them realized the shocked class.

"Mikan, I'm telling you. We don't even wanna know what's going on here. You of all people would be the most angry." Hotaru got it. Natsume liked Mikan. & who knows what she'd do if that happened. She might even kill him! She despises singers. Especially famous ones like Natsume.

"What are you talking about?! Angry?! For what?!"

"Just drop it!" Hotaru said, her eyes still looking at the famous Natsume who was actually trying not to smile. And was pretty successful. Everyone was focused on Ruka.

"Mnnn~ Fine. I suppose." And just then, the teacher came in... Lucky for Ruka!

After school was some big news... that infuriated Mikan entirely. Her mouth was entirely gritted while she heard every word.

"I can't wait 'til your concert, Natsume-san!" All the girls were yapping at him. But his focus was on Mikan. He would definitely talk to her, today. He would ask.

After the fawning girls had left, & Ruka & Hotaru as well, only Mikan & Natsume were left.

"Hey," he said, moving his head up then down which showed his eye-color for a little second.

"Hi," she barely said as usual, but of course, she had a little anger in her voice from earlier.

"Why do you hate me?" he turned to her.

"I don't hate you." At this Natsume barely smiled before she finished. Only a breath between her sentences. "I despise you." Natsume stopped dead in his tracks. This was even worse.

"I hate everyone like you. I despise them all."

Natsume was still in the same position- an awkward smile from stopping middle way and all.

"Why?"

"I just do."

"..." As Natsume stood in the same position, what happened at lunch flashed before his eyes, making his feelings switch toward that. And especially thoughts.

"You were cute."

At this, fury raised in Mikan's eyes.

"What?" she said through her gritted teeth. She looked at him. As usual, his bangs were covering his eye color from being seen. He had a smirk-like smile on his face.

"You were cute."

"... How dare you say that!" she got up.

"Wha- That was a compliment!"

"You suck," she said as she walked away, moving her lips but not her clenched teeth. "I despise singers."

"..." So he was left, confused at why she hated him so. Being a singer. Yes, he was very confused.

While getting ready for his concert, Natsume kept repeating what Mikan said in his head. That she despised singers.

"Natsume? You ready?" Ruka asked, his headgear on.

"... Yeah."

Natsume knew just what to sing. Since nobody ever knew what he would sing, he could even sing a new song... as he made it up.

The curtains arose. And Natsume's new song... was being written.

The crowd cheered, but as soon as he started, they quieted down, hearing the strange lyrics.

"For so long

I've wondered

Why you've never said one word

To me.

To me.

Yeah-ee-Yeah-ee-yeah-ah

Finally

I have asked

Why you hate me so.

Turns out

You despise me

You despise singers.

I don't get it

No-o-o

Why do you hate me so?

What exactly is your reason?

Why can't you see

My feelings for you

Everyday

These feelings grow

Just today

They

Completely

Skyrocketed!

But you still

Can't understand

No-o!

Tell you what I think is a

Complement

You turn even angrier

Don't get it

No-o

Why do you hate me so-o?

What exactly turns you

About me.

I don't get it

I probably never will

No-o-oo-oh."

And he started his guitar riff. Some people were amazed by song. Startled. Like Ruka. Others were crying. Like his fan girls. Some because they were touched by it. Others because they wanted him. And some were just confused. Few but still.

When Natsume was finished, the whole crowd was cry-cheering. So touching. UvU Weirdoes.

After Natsume came in... Ruka had a lot of questions. And he was not gonna wait.

"What was that about?" he asked.

"What? I can't make songs on stage?" Natsume said as he tuned his guitar.

"No, but..." Ruka turned his head away, still looking at Natsume. He sighed.

"Nevermind." Maybe he can wait!

The next day... the song Natsume sang the night before lingered in many minds, except for the little brunette who would never even dare to watch the concert of a famous singer.

"Hey, Mikan? Are you feeling better?" Nonoko asked.

"Sure." Mikan was in the same position as yesterday, & all the other days. She always faced the window next to her.

"W-Well, it seems someone doesn't like Natsume," Anna told her. This grabbed her attention- her head went up a little.

"But he-"

SLAM!

"Kya!" Good timing! No one knows what Mikan would've done if she heard what Nonoko was going to say!

"Oh, Natsume's here! I'll tell you later, Mikan!" And the two ran toward the popular singer.

Again, Mikan gritted her teeth. Like usual. Then she was reminded of what happened after school and gritted harder. Her teeth couldn't even stand the pressure! She was almost chipping them!

"Mikan," the inventor came over. "Calm down."

Mikan was beginning to cry. She hated singers. She hated them so much. She got up.

"I'm going," she whispered as she walked away. Her voice was enough to realize she was crying. And Natsume saw. He walked after her.

She sat against the wall right outside the girl's bathroom. She couldn't even go inside. She just couldn't stand it. Natsume was right behind her, which was unknown to her. She started singing. Horse & sad.

"So... many times.

Way too many.

I hate them.

I just can't stand it.

They... have no... idea

What it's like

To be rejected.

To lose.

To not... even get... a chance." Mikan silently cried a bit & then continued.

"All selfish.

All glad.

And happy.

That they get to sing.

I hate them all.

I hate them so much.

But unfor... tunately.

I'm not

One to

Not talk

When they talk to me.

I hate it.

I wish I could just..." Mikan shaked her head. And continued once again. Only able to whisper.

"I wish

I could get another chance.

But no.

I can't.

I just hate it," she held herself & silently cried.

Natsume was amazed. The reason she hated singers... was because they got the chance that she didn't. At least... that's what it seemed like.

"Mi-" he whispered, but immediately stopped. She didn't seem to realize him right now, and he needed it to stay that way as long as possible. He lightly smiled, looking down at the cute, little brunette. But his smile was slightly sad. Still, Mikan didn't realize him. She sighed. Then got up. Immediately stopping at the sight of Natsume in front of her. She had a bit of fright in her eyes while Natsume was staring, a bit surprised. He didn't expect her to realize him so soon.

"It was beautiful," he told her. But fury immediately went into her big brown eyes.

"You wouldn't be able to understand!" she said angrily, her eyes closed, as she walked past him. Her hair blowing in front of him.

"..." Just as he was about to just think, he grabbed her pig tail. She was pulled back. She turned to him.

"What do you want?!"

"..." he looked at her seriously, his blood red eyes fully in view. "I would."

Fury went into Mikan's bright orbs once again.

"No, you wouldn't!" she yelled at him.

"I would!"

"You-" Natsume immediately covered her mouth.

"I wasn't finished," he said, dangerously. Then his eyes softened. His tone as well.

"You just want to be a singer, right? You despise singers because we got the chance. But you shouldn't blame us. Blame the judges." Mikan tried hard not to cry, but... but she had to. Tears escaped her eyes. Natsume smiled. Finally. Finally, she wasn't angry or depressed at him. More tears escaped her tightly shut eyes. Natsume sighed.

"You're a handful, Polka Dots," he said, having a relaxed smile on his face. But Mikan's eyes blared open while Natsume realized what he had just said. It came out accidently... but he had definitely just called her 'Polka Dots'. Natsume was a pervert, but he was good at keeping his inappropriate thoughts to himself. This... was a first. And not a wonderful time to slip up. He had just called her by the type of panties he had seen before. And Mikan had no idea of his accidental peek at them. Well, her trust is gonna go down the drain, now.

-End play-

By the way, some of these ideas and scenes do come from the original, such as the whole panties thing. Sure, I mixed it up a bit, but that idea was from the original story. I didn't remember that part earlier because of my messed up memory. :P

Anyway, this is a fritz! Mikan just began to trust Natsume, & he just flushed it back down a second later! XD Wonder how that's gonna end out! XDDD

And is anyone noticing anything about the whole eyes thing (sneaky grin) & what about Koko & Narumi? Where are they? We'll get to it, guys! XDDD A Gakuen Alice story wouldn't be right without them! And who's the green cat-eyed girl? Can you guess? I'll give the answer on the next chapter! ED

Natsume: The answer's obvious.

Me: Oh, be quiet. I didn't say the name earlier, so I thought I'd make some fun with my mistake. But how'd I come out with the idea of pulling Mikan's hair just by the whole 'I'll burn your hair' thing?

Natsume: Who cares.

Me: I do!

Both: End play is out!

Me: Natsume, be more energetic!

Natsume: No.
