CHAPTER 1

Ryuta POV

"Ryuu-chan?? Where are you honey?" my mom called.

"I'm right here!! In my room, just come in!!"

And a few moments later she entered. As soon as she got to the door she was screaming.

" Kyaaaaa!!!! Ryuu-chan.. What did I tell you about doing that fire and ice thing??"

"I just wonder how I am able to do this without hurting myself? Now I can control what I burn and what I can freeze."

"You say that so calmly...it's a little scary." She backed away momentarily; that's when I knew I was scaring her.

"Ok, Ok, I'll stop." The flames and wisps of ice dancing around the room vanished at once.

What's happening to me? Two days ago these powers appeared. I woke up with my hands wrapped in balls of flames and speckles of ices. I thought I was dreaming. I thought I was crazy. But it's real. What does this mean? Am I special?

Downstairs the door bell rang. I was grateful because I think my mom was really worried. When she reached the front door she called my name again. They were two young men dressed in navy blue business suits. They said they were from the academy and they wanted to talk to me about an Alice and some special abilities. I really didn't know what this all meant. How did they even know I had this ability?

"Ryouta dear.. There someone wants to talk to you." Mom said.

When I got downstairs, a man with the shoulder length blonde hair approached me. He started speaking to me as if we've known each other for such a long time. It was weird. I've never seen him before in my life.

"Hello Ryuu-chan. How are you today." He said

"I'm fine thanks. And you are?"

"Ooh..I'm sorry. My name is Mr. Narumi. And that guy is Mr. Misaki. We're teachers at the Gakuen Alice; the school you will be attending." Said Mr. Narumi.

"The school that I'll be attending? What's wrong with the school I'm going to now!?"

"There's nothing wrong with the school you're going to now...it's just...Gakuen Alice is a place for special kids like you. We're aware that a set of special gifts have manifested themselves to you. We don't think it would be safe for you to stay here anymore. We want you to come to Gakuen Alice to live and study; you'll meet many other students with similar powers. And it will be a great place for you to make new friends," Mr. Misaki said.

"We talked to your mom. She thinks it would be a good idea for you to come study with us." Mr. Narumi Said.

When I looked at my mom she seemed so depressed. I know she didn't really want me to leave but maybe she wanted to keep me safe. Maybe this was the best way to stay out of trouble and to keep her from worrying about me. I just didn't think all of this would happen so fast. It was hard enough to believe; two days ago I was normal kid. Now, I have these powers and I need to move away...why is life so cruel? So I decided I should go with them. I didn't want to get into any serious trouble.

"You should go pack you things" Misaki said. He followed me up to my room to help pack some of my belongings.

(Inside the car)

The drive was silent. It was like as soon as we got in the car there was nothing to talk about. But I had so many questions. Like, why me?

"So what exact is Gakuen Alice? You said it was a school for kids like me...kids with special gifts." I was hoping one of them would answer. Narumi took the challenge.

"The Gakuen Alice is a school for children who were born with super natural powers. Normally, their powers manifest at a young age but you are an exception. By super powers, I mean what has awakened to you recently, Ryouta. All of us at Gakuen Alice have these powers, they are called Alice. There are many different kinds of Alice. Mine for example is the Human Pheromone Alice; through the amplification of human pheromones I can make any opponent do my bidding, under the idea that they are in love with me. The Alice classes are separated into five divisions: Latent Alice is the most common within our academy; students focusing their ESP abilities. This division has smaller branches, focusing on telepathy, telekinesis, and teleportation. Next is the Technique Alice, this division deals mainly with physical manipulation. It can be anything from environmental manipulation to martial arts, drawing or even cooking. The third, Somatic Alice, my class, deals with the mastery of the human body and manipulating the human form. The Somatic Alice interacts with all living things as a method to learn and strengthen our abilities. There are some students who can charm while others have the speed of a hundred cheetahs. The fourth, Mutant Alice, this division has no set special power. Many students within this class have a multitude of powers. Some of the rarest and strangest Alice develop there; for example the doppelganger Alice, a shape shifter or the Null Alice, a power that stops others from using their Alice. Finally, the Dark Alice...the Dark Alice is considered to be the most deadliest type. Their class includes the Stealing Alice, one that can steal your very life force or soul, and the Death Alice, ending the life of anything in its path. This class is kept far away from the other classes to insure no one gets hurt. It's a lot to absorb but in time you will know what this all means."

He was right. It was a lot to absorb. I still couldn't believe this was happening. I was hoping that I would wake up soon and go to my old school, with my old friends, in my normal, boring life...not this...freak show.

"Ryouta?" Misaki turned to me from the passenger seat. "There is something else you should know. At the Gakuen Alice, there is a rank system. Most of the students have a gold star on their student uniform. This means they are beginner level students who are learning how to control their Alice. The more stars on the collar the higher the ranking. The highest ranking student's have a single star enclosed in a gold circle. These students are called "Principal Students", some might say that these kids are geniuses. They have total control of their Alice." He explained.

"So...What type of Alice do I have?" I ask again.

"Well, your Alice is special...you know, I think it's something you should find

out on your own."

"So, you're not going to tell me? Come on! Don't keep me guessing... Narumi-

"We're here...Welcome to Gakuen Alice, Ryouta."

This is where my life begins.

MIKAN'S POV

"Wow, what a nice day.." I said. It really is a nice day.

"Shut up you moron! You're so annoying and you're in 11th grade." Hotaru yelled at me.

"ugh....Why are you soo cruel to my Hotaru-chan? We're best friend like for ever..."

She sighed "Whatever."

"Hotaru-chan you're soo mean." When I said that suddenly the classroom door opened and Natsume-kun came in.

"Natsume-kun you're back!" I said excitedly and jumped into his arms for a hug.

"Yeah, I'm back." He said it with tired voice.

"You look and sound so tired. The mission's done right? You have to take a rest you know."

And then he smiled and said "I know I know...I'll rest but you have to be not soo annoying and noisy..."

"hey, Natsume-kun why are you saying that to me? I just want you rest and I'm soo happy that I could finally see you again.. That's why I'm soo noisy. It's an expression to show my love you know…"

"Ooh.. I know, I know,.. I love you too!!" he said loudly.

"I know you love me too." And then I hugged him again and kissed him. I knew everyone was looking at us as we kissed.

"Come on, give him a rest Mikan" Ruka interrupted.

"I missed him soo much.." Suddenly ruka's eyes widened.

("Ooh....FYI, Mikan and Natsume already become lover. And Hotaru and Ruka already become a lover too.")

We sat down for a minute.

Koko shouted "Hey everybody!! Narumi's coming!!" afterwards everyone became quiet and then Mr. Narumi entered the class.

"Ok everyone.." he said that after he put his books on his desk. "I have an announcement to make. We're gonna have a new classmate. His Alice was discovered a week ago, he's going to be your new classmate. Come on in Ryouta-kun, and introduce your self."

Ryouta entered the classroom. "Hello everybody, my name is Ryouta Sasaki. My Alice is ice and fire. I'm very new to all of this. It's nice to meet you." He said.

"So, his name is Ryuta Sasaki and he have a fire and ice Alice. What a nice combination. I think I'm gonna copy his alice."

(whisper) "Wow!! He's cute!!" said Sumire.

(whisper) "I know! He's very cute and handsome!" said Nonoko and Anna agreed.

"Ryuu-kun, why don't you show your Alice to everyone?" Narumi said.

"Thanks for Narumi, now I'm gonna copy him."

"Ok then, but I don't know if I can control my power. I'm very new to this."

"Ooh you… enough talking and show your Alice!" Natsume blurted out.

("Hey!! Relax ok! I'm about to show you my alice…" Ryuu-kun said. "Ok, fuuh.." he closed his eyes and said "fire.. ice.." and suddenly there's fire all over his left hand and ice all over his right hand.

"Whoa… that's cool…" Koko said.

"Yeah it is cool, and I'm about to copy it. Hehehe"

"Ryuu-kun… Try to freeze and burn thing will you?" Iinchou asked.

"Ok, I'll try." And so, he point his right hand and his left hand to the chairs that iinchou put in front of him and in just a sec that 2 chairs was burned and freezes. And now he make the fire and ice in his hands gone. Now, he make some move with his hands, and suddenly the fire in the chair pulled up and became like some kind of fireball and Ryuta can freely move it anywhere he want. Then he make the ice in the chair became an ice arrow then he move it (as fast as a real arrow being throw about) to the back of the class and the arrow stuck in the wall. But that's not just it. In a moment some of the wall was freezes. Then he made a move with his hand again and the fire became a dust and the ice splash into pieces of ices and became water.)

"Whooaa.." Everyone cooed.

"This is awesome. I didn't know that I could do it." Ryouta-kun said.

"Wow, and you say that this is new?." Hotaru said.

"Ok, I think that's enough. Now Ryouta, I'm gonna choose your partner. Or is there anyone want to be his partner? Nobody? Ok then, I think Mikan, you're gonna be his partner." Narumi said. "Ok, then. You have to sit with Shouda and Kokoroyumi over there."

"Ok Mr. Narumi. Thanks for your help." Ryouta said.

"Well… I have to be his partner. Hope Natsume not be gonna mad."

"Natsume-kun. I have to be his partner. So.. you're not mad right?"

"It's ok. I'm not mad." He answered me.

"Ooh… You're the best Natsume-kun." I said it and then I kissed him
