Chapter 1

"It's them!"

"Looking good Hotaru!"

"Omg I swear Tsubasa made eye contact with me."

"Youichi looks so hot today!"

All the excitement and murmurs were passed on to the group as they walked by the students. Hotaru Imai, with shoulder length black hair and piercing purple eyes, glared at one of the boys who tried to talk to her. The boy immediately shrunk back at her glare. Sumire Shouda, however, loved the attention she received. She flipped her emerald curly hair once in a while and smiled flirtatiously at a group of boys. Ruka Nogi, being raised as a friendly and gentle man, smiled at the students who shouted his name. The girls swooned at his million dollar smile. Tsubasa Andou gave a small wave once in a while but rolled his eyes at times at a group of girls who practically threw themselves at him. He secured his arm around his two-year girlfriend, Misaki Harada, when he caught some boys waving flirtatiously at her direction. Misaki laughed at her boyfriend's actions and gave a small kiss at his cheek. Tsubasa blushed furiously and smiled lovingly at her. Nobara Ibaragi shyly walked with her head down. She was not used to this attention but smiled shyly at times to those who called her name. She played with her silver curly hair once in a while, a habit when she's nervous. Youichi Hijiri didn't bother to give back the attention to anyone and walked quickly to his classroom, ever glancing at his watch to prevent himself from being late. He was never tardy and doesn't want any bad records. Koko Yome grinned happily at the attention and sometimes made jokes to the group, causing them to laugh heartily. Koko was always the joker that brought smile to everyone's faces. Him and his fraternal twin, Kitsuneme. They were always making jokes and the happiest out of all of them. Finally, the one who was in the front leading all of them would definitely be the Natsume Hyuuga. He ran his fingers through his soft, raven black hair and put both hands in his coat pocket. He, like Youichi, didn't bother giving attention to anyone but only looked straight ahead, giving the bored face.

Tsubasa and Misaki both headed to their classes as they were a year older than the rest of them. Youchi too, headed to the other building, the Junior High Division, as he was a year younger. Not before he met with his girlfriend, Aoi Hyuuga. Yes, the younger sister of Natsume Hyuuga. She waited for him patiently at the building and waved at her brother and his friends when she saw them. She gave a quick kiss to Youichi and held his hand. Youichi blushed slightly at her actions but immediately acted like he didn't care.

All of them were students of Alice Academy, the extremely famous school of Music and Arts. Though they are not only pursuing their dreams but in Alice Academy, there are also lessons of different subjects such as Mathematics, English, Politics and more. Alice Academy has very high standards and it is difficult to even pass the entrance exam. At the top, Natsume Hyuuga is the one who excels greatly and is the top student in his High School Division, basically, the whole academy.

Natsume and the others went into their classroom and got ready for the first lesson, English. Morning lessons were either English, Maths, Politics, Social Studies, History/Geography and Languages while the afternoon lessons would be Music and Arts, depending on which category the students applied for.

Natsume propped up his legs at the wooden desk and leaned back in his chair. He then closed his eyes whereas his manga was opened and on his face. Giving a silent message to everyone not to bother him. Ruka, his bestfriend, sat beside him and pat his lovable white rabbit, which he always brings to school, minding his own business. This was what usually always happened. Their usual routine.

"Good morning, my lovely students!" Mr. Narumi, a very hyper teacher grinned widely at his students. His face showing extreme happiness as if he bears no worries and fears. He twirled around happily while informing everyone that there's a new transferred student. Everyone started murmuring in excitement, talking about the new student. Even Ruka was shocked, thinking why would there be a new student at the middle of the year. Natsume, however, didn't bother and continue to close his eyes under his manga. Hotaru, being an ice princess in the academy, was actually smiling softly. In fact, she actually knew who the transfer student was. She glanced at Natsume at the corner of her eye, smirking maliciously. 'Oh he would be so surprised.' Sumire winked at Hotaru knowingly and continued to chat with her other classmates.

"She's cute, friendly, cheerful and is the sunshine of everyone! Please, welcome, Mikan Sakura!" Mr. Narumi exclaimed loudly with happiness.

Natsume opened his eyes abruptly at the name. Mi…Mikan? There is no way she's in this school. No way. Must have been another girl with the same name. He forcefully closed his eyes and pretended not to care. Ruka gaped a bit at the new girl in front of the class and kept glancing at Natsume, wondering if he is really asleep. Koko, Kitsuneme and Sumire whooped loudly. Hotaru kept a small smile to herself.

"Hello everyone!" shouted the girl with long wavy auburn hair and large brown eyes. Natsume knew that voice. It was all too familiar to him. That cheerful sweet voice ringing inside his head. Slowly, he took his manga off his face and stared at the beauty in front of him.

She didn't change a bit.

She gave a huge smile as she waved at those she recognized. She wore her uniform correctly, but her skirt a little too short, showing off her white milky slender legs. Her uniform fit her body wonderfully, showing her curves in the right place. Her eyes as bright as ever. Her long wavy hair were let down but she used a white lacy headband to prevent annoying strands from covering her face. She's such a beauty. His beauty, or so that changed in the past year. Suddenly, memories flashed by in Natsume's head, as if he was watching a movie.

"Natsume!" The auburn haired girl smiled at him. She poked his ribs to catch his attention. Natsume smirked at her and held her hand. He pulled her to him and gave her a kiss so passionate and loving. She slightly blushed and smiled lovingly at him.

"I love you, you idiot and selfish Natsume."

Natsume stared at her, remembering all the loving memories with her. That and hurtful memories. Caused by him.

"W-why Natsume? What did I do wrong?" She stuttered as tears ran down her red cheeks in an uncontrollable manner. She tried to reach for him but he slapped that hand away.

"N-Natsume, what happ-" She stopped abruptly when cold-blooded eyes towards her pierced her heart. Why was he doing this? She knew she didn't do anything wrong. They were so loving hours ago. They made love. She gave her innocence to him, everything to him. Yet now, he's giving her the cold shoulder?

"You. It is you that happened." Natsume spat at her in a vicious manner. "You don't need to know anything. Just leave me alone. We're done." Natsume pushed her away when she tried to hug him. Mikan shook her head and kept asking for a reason. Then, she collapsed on the floor of his room. Her knuckles were white as she balled her fists. She couldn't say anything for a while, her tears choking her ability to speak. Then, she said in a timid and desperate voice.

"Don't leave me, Natsume…."

"We're done."

He walk pass her and ignored the crying lump. His heart thundering his chest. He couldn't believe he done it. He couldn't believe he did that to the girl he loved so much. He loved her yet he had no choice. No choice.

Natsume winced at the memory of their breakup which was two years ago. He wasn't admitted in the academy yet and went to a normal school, the others too. They were fifteen and in love. Yet he caused her heart to shatter and he couldn't help but regret terribly. He didn't know if he would ever see her again. Yet there she was, in front if him, giving everyone a beautiful smile. But as her eyes caught his crimson eyes, she quickly avoided eye contact. That one second when she saw him, he knew she was still hurt. He continued to stare at her, daring her to look into his eyes. But not once did she look, not once.

'I guess I should've expected this. Hotaru did warn me I'll be seeing him again.' Mikan couldn't bear the thought of staring back at his intoxicating eyes. She wouldn't….she don't want to remember those memories of him. She distracted herself by waving happily at Hotaru, Sumire, Koko, Kitsuneme. They were all already friends' way back in kindergarten. Then 2 years ago, one by one they started to chase their dreams and applied to Alice Academy. Mikan have always wanted to be a singer, though she didn't believe she had the voice. She also didn't have the confidence in actually acing the audition. Soon all of her friends were accepted and she was really ecstatic for them but there was always this nagging feeling in her. The feeling of regret that she wasn't like her friends, strong, confident and over-achievers. With a change of heart, Mikan slowly gain her confidence and eventually, out of surprise, she made it through the admission and audition. She didn't expect it at all. But she was happy, really happy to be able to be with her friends again and also, her dreams were not really out of sight anymore. Mikan immediately called Hotaru and Sumire about her success and they couldn't be anymore happier for Mikan. Sumire squealed loudly in class (being Sumire, she uses her phone in class) and Hotaru gave a bored and uncaring tone but Mikan knew Hotaru was happy for her too.

"Hush hush, lovely ladies and gentlemen! I've already and graciously chosen Mikan's partner! Guess who?!" Mr. Narumi being him, dragged the word "who" happily and wriggled his eyebrows. The students rolled their eyes at his attitude and beckoned him to hurry up. Mr. Narumi winked and pointed at the back.

"Natsume Hyuuga!"

Oh god.
