SUMMARY--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Mikan is an alice taken for granted by her classmates. She wishes that one day she would have a new life. No more skirt peaking mornings, scary math and history teacher, cold friends, low grades and bullies.
Garnet is a normal 14 year old studying in an exclusive all girls' school. Unlike Mikan, she wants space. She wants to experience independence since she is constantly treated like a baby by her friends. She is smart, but hides it and does not attract attention with her silence. She prefers staying in a quiet place reading her book.
One day, for a Student Exchange Program, Mikan and Garnet are chosen to exchange places for 1 month. They will walk in each other's shoes and learn along the way. They will meet each other's friends and change their lives. But they are not the only the ones who will learn since their loved ones also realize their importance.
Chapter 1------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
MY AWFUL DAY STARTS----------------------------------------------------------------------
It was early in the morning; the sun was slowly rising and giving light to the world. The sun who will witness the lives of two girls connected by faith.
RING! RING!
A 15 year old girl with waist length hair and chocolate orbs woke up with the sound of her alarm clock. It was 5 am, the start of her day. She slowly opened her sleepy eyes. Her looks were beyond ordinary, she has long black lashes around her beautiful orbs, midnight dark straight hair, flawless skin, slim figure and an attractive face to finish.
As she opened her eyes, she scanned her room; it was electric blue with stenciled stars on her ceiling. She remembered begging her dad to change her room color from pink to blue, and somehow, she got what she wanted. The girl stood-up and began to walk towards her desk. She turned on her desk light, slowly adjusting her eyesight before starting to review her books. She started with Algebra, History and ended with Biology. She was now fully awake and finally decided to fix her school bag. Seeing everything ready, a gentle smile was seen on her lips.
After eating her breakfast she did her morning routines before going back to her room to change. Her uniform was composed of a red plaid skirt 4 inches below the knee (though their handbook states that it should only be 2 inches below her knee), a white blouse with navy collar finished with a red plaid necktie that matches her shirt. She could still feel the warmth of her uniform after dressing; her mother just ironed her uniform while she was doing her morning routines. She dislikes warmth, she feels as if she has enough of it already.
Before leaving, she faced her mirror and started to comb her silky straight hair before tying it into a tight ponytail. She also wore her glasses which unfortunately covered her magnificent orbs. Overall, she looked like a geek with her perfectly ironed clothes, dorky hairstyle and uneven glasses. She looked at her reflection for last time. Being content with the way she looked, she grabbed her bag.
Her ride was long and quiet as she was surrounded by the familiar cold morning aura. She looked outside her window, seeing the familiar view again and again for the last 11 years. She has been studying at her current school for quite some time already. Her school was unfortunately, on top of a mountain. It was away from the noise of the city and close to nature, an exclusive all-girl's school with a long history. A school for the elites, the achievers of the society; a school for the rich in her opinion. But that was why she was desperate to transfer; she belonged to the middle class and wonders why her parents insist on letting her stay in such a school. Nevertheless she stayed, and was now in her second year of highschool. Once they arrived she felt the gust of cold air from the area. She looked at her wrist to look at the time-6:40, classes start at 7:10. Slowly, she traveled the corridors hearing the sound of the birds and smelling the familiar scent of grass from the open fields around the area. Her classroom was still bare when she arrived and she was happy about it. She sat down her still-cold chair and rested her head on the arm rest, enjoying the chair's temperature. She liked cold objects with no particular reason why.
She did not notice the classroom filling in after some time, she did not care. Nor did she care when her teacher entered the classroom. Ms. Leila, the mother of the class. A woman in her mid-twenties who has short brown hair, wearing a simple blue and white blouse and a smile on her face bringing with her a comforting aura for her class to feel. She was well respected by her students just like a mother. As she entered, the class silenced itself. Everyone was quiet seeing the bulk of test papers she was holding using her arms. Now, everyone was restless not wanting to see their Algebra papers.
"Ladies, what's wrong with you? Your grades dropped…some even failed." She said in a tone both worried and disappointed. This statement brought fuzz in the class now more afraid than ever. Ms. Leila then silenced the class by saying:
"The three top scorers….Julienne with a 99…."
The said girl with long hair and a petite appearance stood up and accepted her paper with a big smile on her face. When she was back on her seat, the teacher continued:
"Mirjana again with a 99…"
Mirjana got her paper with a rather bored expression on her face. She was always among the top three so she was used to it already. Her beautiful face still held no emotion when Ms. Leila spoke once more.
"The last one, with a perfect score…"
The class started saying random names of the smart girls in class. Trying to guess who the lucky girl was to perfect such an exam. On one corner a girl sat with her head still on top of the arm rest.
"It's normal for those two to get those scores. I'll bet the world is about to end if they get at least a 90. Oh well, not my business…"
She was still in such position when their teacher called her name.
"Nope, not them. The one who perfected my test was Garnet"
The class was silent. Their glance reached a certain girl unaware of what was happening around her. Until her seatmate brought her back to reality.
"Garnet, you were called!" Her friend sounded as if she was happier than Garnet for her score.
"Huh?" She asked back.
"Just get your test paper! You perfected the test!"
Now she was serious. She stood up and walked towards Ms. Leila who had a smile on her face.
"Darn it! I thought I erased my final answers! Now I get this attention!"
As she walked she could feel the stares of her classmates. Some were wondering how she managed to perfect it, some with admiration and some, with jealousy. She tried to get her paper but Ms. Leila would not give it. Garnet gave her a questioning look.
"Garnet, I hope you don't mind if I borrow this paper for a while and post it on the board so you classmates can check their answers?" Though she was asking, it sounded like an order so she gave in with a heavy heart.
"What the? Nice, not everyone gets the chance to see my paper! What a way to start my day!"
BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!
An alarm clock was sounding inside the room of a certain one-star student. The alarm clock could have awakened anyone but her. She simply ignored the resounding clock and continued her journey to dreamland. So it was not surprising that she panicked as she woke up – 10 minutes before classes start.
"I'm LATE!! THE DEVIL (Jinno) IS SO GONNA KILL ME!!"
She immediately dressed herself into her school uniform. A uniform composed of white collared long sleeves with a dark blue blazer and a red skirt, mid-thigh in length, finished with a ribbon and boots that end below her knee. She fixed her long brown hair into her usual pigtails and dashed out her room. As she ran, she did not notice someone in front of her.
"Sorry.."
"The idiot is late as always." Said the person she bumped into.
"I said sorry."
"So, no polka dotted panties today."
"Oh just shut up!" The girl was again embarrassed by Natsume, the person she bumps into almost everyday. Her face was now full of anger, her face red and hands held into a fist. She ignored the boy in front of her and dashed towards her classroom.
Unfortunately as she opened the door of her classroom she was welcomed by the shout of her teacher.
"Mikan!! Late!!"
Again, she was welcomed by his scream. She walked towards her seat at the back with her head bowed down as Jinno continued giving back their test papers.
"Hotaru 98…Anna…Ruka…Natsume 100… Mikan 73."
Everyone now stared at her as if not able to believe how stupid she was. She was furious, Jinno never tells the score of those who failed unless it's her. Angry, she grabbed her paper from the smiling teacher and walked out of the classroom. Not caring on the possible consequences of her actions.
She ran, just ran, not knowing where her feet might take her. Until she noticed herself in front of the Sakura Tree, her place of comfort. There continuous tears fell of her porcelain face like a river with no end.
"Why is my life like this? Why is Jinno so angry at me…well sorry but I don't have my classmate's intelligence or mind-reading alice to help me during the test! All I have is this stupid Nullification alice! Why aren't my friends trying to defend or at least comfort me? Not to mention that Natsume who does nothing but to make my life miserable!"
As she cried, she did not notice a pair of feet headed towards her direction.
"Headmaster, who are we going to send for the student exchange program?"
"Mikan" His voice was both mysterious and frightening.
"May I know why Headmaster?" His assistant questioned.
"She has no particular value to this academy…"
"I understand, I will prepare her papers right away." Finally, the assistant left the Headmaster alone.
"Ms. Principal, Alice Academy is asking who we are going to send for the student exchange program."
"Prepare Garnet." The said Principal answered.
"Right away Ms. Principal." Her assistant said before leaving the room.
"I am doubtful about that girl and what talents she holds; this will be an opportunity to find out…" The Principal was thinking before she heard a knock on her door.
Chapter 1 is done!

Sneak Peak:
Both of them were inside the same room, silence was around them. Until Mikan broke the silence.
"Hi! I'm Mikan."
"Hi! I'm Garnet." Said the girl in front of her.
