After Story
By gaukenanime101
The Sakura blossoms fell onto the bed of a striking brunette, sleeping blissfully in her double bed. The window was open letting the sun and the sound of birds chirping on a springs day enter her room profoundly. It had been 3 years since the ESP incident and Mikan had left Gakuen Alice. She had forgotten all about the school she spent a period of time at, including the people she loved and cared about. The hazel eyed girl was now living a normal life in Nagoya with her Jii-chan and loving existence and showing her beautiful smile to all.
It was the first day of high school for Mikan, she was popular and loved among all, her kindness and beauty was memorable and her life was admirable. She truly was the happiest girl you could meet, but something always felt missing, even if she couldn't think of what that missing thing could be.
"Mikan-chan! Time for school" the sound of a crackly and kind voice called from downstairs. The hazel eyes shot open and jumped out of bed at ease. Usually Mikan found it hard for her to get up out of her warm haven but since it was her first day she just couldn't wait!
"I'm coming Jii-chan! Just getting changed, okay?" The girl told the old man in delight. Mikan washed her flawless skin and combed her beautiful golden brunette locks into two pig-tails. Her new uniform was a navy-blue skirt, white top with a red bow to tie it in.
Once she had finished changing, Mikan shoved a piece of toast in her mouth and didn't forget to kiss her Jii-chan on the cheek leaving him with a smile. "See you later Jii!" she called while running out the door.
The girl walked to school admiring the beautiful Sakura trees surrounding her. Mikan always adored Sakura, and no it wasn't because her name was Mikan Sakura, but because it meant it was spring and that meant, new beginnings. I wonder what this year of will hold for me?
Mikan ran into her class room in the nick of time and shouted to her class mates "Good Morning, everyone!" and everyone replied with the same. "Its just like you to only just make it, Mikan, even if it is a new school year" her friends laughed when she sat down leaving her giggling in embarrassment.
Ding dong, ding dong.
The bell had gone and her class had started. English, Mikans probably only good subject academically.
"Good Morning, class! I welcome you to the first year in high school. As you all attended the opening ceremony a few days ago I am trusting you all know your way around and how this year will be working. Please enjoy yourself and try and make new friends, okay!" the female teacher called in a believing tone. Everyone looked amazing in their new uniforms Mikan thought to her self.
From behind somebody had tapped her on her shoulder. "Mikan, I swear if you don't start modelling I will flip my shit and that is a promise. How you manage to look amazing even in a school uniform and no makeup is beyond me." It was her friend, Rai-chan, she had been a friend of Mikans since Middle school. Blushing Mikan looked down and simply replied with a blow kiss as she was to embarrassed to even speak.
The class had gone on for a period of time, they had to write an essay on spring which Mikan flew through as it was her two strong points.
Ding dong, ding dong.
The class had zoomed by and it was recess. Everyone agreed that the would check out the club activities but when Mikan was about to leave with them she was called on by the teacher. "Oh, Mikan-chan. Could I talk with you for a minute?" looking rather confused she turned to her friends and instructed that she would meet them there, with a nod they replied.
"Ah yes, sensei?" the brunette said bubbly with a smile.
"I was just wondering if you could be the school representative for the Essay competition. It will be held with school all around japan and it would be an amazing opportunity for you, Mikan. So do you think you can do it?"
Mikans eyes shot open in surprise, why was I chosen, out of all people? "Wow, why me though sensei? I am sure you could have chosen a lot more capable applicants. I am more than willing to do it but are you sure?"
"Yes, of course! I have read your work, you are amazing! If you are willing to do it then please, read this pan flip" passing her a book "it has all the information, I am sure you will do great! So can I sign you up?" her sensei looked at the girl with puppy eyes, obviously wanting Mikan to say yes.
"Ah, alright sensei!" she replied reluctantly.
"Thank you! You may go now." The teacher seemed pleased and so did Mikan, thinking that her teacher wanted her, of all people, to represent Nagoya High School.
Mikan walked to the lunch table to see her friends all looking at her, waiting for an explanation.
"So, what did Sensei talk to you about?" One of Mikans friends asked inquisitively and the others looked just as curious as the next.
Mikan knew she owed them an explanation and straight out told them. "Oh um, well I am the representative for the essay competition for this school Sensei told me." The girl said looking at the floor.
"Hang on what!? That's amazing! Well done." One of her other friends said in pleasure. "Hey, isn't that being held at Alice Academy? Apparently it has never opened before to non students and this is the first year people are aloud in."
Mikan looked at them with a blank face, Alice Academy, why does that sound familiar but before she could think to much into it she shrugged off the thought and smiled. "Lucky me, I get to see this mysterious school" laughing along with her friends.
Classes had ended at Alice Academy and a blonde boy, with blue princely eyes was looking at a list, the essay competition name list to be exact. This was the first year the school had allowed anyone to enter, let alone host a country wide competition so clearly, everyone was buzzing with excitement after the principle announced the news.
The boy was scrolling down they list when a guy with a rustic voice called him making him look up. Crimson eyes where looking at him, the guy was handsome and was around the same age as the blonde. The blue eyed person looked back down at the list to finish scanning the names when his eyes shot open, what had he just read? When the crimson eyes beauty looked at him wondering what made him so shocked, he spoke. "I-Its her. She is coming to our school, for the competition, Natsume." His eyes shot open and he snatched the list and searched the list eagerly. "Mikan" he whispered, "We will finally meet her again, Ruka."
"But Natsume, she won't remember us." The blonde told him sadly, looking at the floor.
"I know but I will make her remember . . . somehow, I wont let her leave me again."
Japan High School Essay Competition
If you are reading this, that means you and one other person of the opposite gender where selected by your school to participate in this event. The JHSEC will be starting on September 15th, meaning, all applicants will be staying at the selected academy (Alice Academy) for the duration of the competition (2 Months). You will be attending classes at our school to make sure you keep up to date with all schools. There will be 3 rounds, all having a subject chosen by the judges and you will have two weeks to write each essay. The winner of the competition will receive a trip to America for a month to study English, 5000$ and a trophy.
As rumoured by many, our school has never opened to the public so this is a very exciting time for us. Please be friendly with all students and make some friends along the way.
See you soon!
Mikan read the pan flip over and over, this was really happening. She was going to miss everyone but this opportunity wasn't going to come around everyday she remembered. Before thinking about anything else she realized, 15th of September, that's in 2 days time! I have to ask Jii-chan now!
Running down the flight of stair was an excited Mikan, making Jii-chan look at her with confused eyes.
"What is it, Mikan? You seem awfully enthusiastic! Was your first day that good?"
"Well, yes it was but I have other news! I was selected for the essay competition! I get to stay at the fancy academy for 2 months and study there for free and I was wondering if I could go? I have to hand in the permission slip tomorrow so I really need an answer." She looked at him with puppy eyes, really hoping he would say yes. "Please, please, please?"
"Of course, as long as its free. I don't see a problem! When do you leave?" Jii-chan replied kindly. He has gotten older no doubt about it, but he still seemed to be in good health to Mikan and adored her no less than he ever has.
The beautiful brunette bounced with excitement and gave him a big hug and kiss. "Well in 2 days! Thank you so much, Jii-chan!"
"Wow! 2 days?! You better" he started coughing loudly making Mikan concerned but soon finished his sentence "start packing missy." She nodded but looked at him with worried eyes. "Are you okay?"
"Yes of course, you're such a worry wart. Its just a cough." Looking at her kindly. She looked at him and trusted his words. "Well if you say so." Dismissing the thought, she ran upstairs to pack. Watching the teen running up the stairs he smiled to himself but it soon turned into a frown, something was wrong, he opened his palm to a pool of blood.
"I'm fine." he whispered to himself.
5 students had gathered around a table outside in the night, wondering why Natsume and Ruka had called them out at such a time. "I am sorry to call you out so late everyone but we have some news." Ruka apologetically told them.
"As you know, the essay competition will be held in 2 days." Everyone looked at him with suspense, "Yeah, we all know that, Ruka. Its no surprise?"
"Let him finish." Natsume announced demandingly. Looking at the raven head apologetically, then soon returning their gaze back to Ruka.
"Thanks, well basically. We where reading the guest list to who was nominated and . . . Mikan was selected." looking at the ground Ruka announced.
Everyone's face dropped, the usual stoic Hotaru now had wide eyes and an open mouth. "Is this true, Natsume?" Permy asked in shock, he simply nodded. Everyone was too lost for words and no one knew what to say. The crickets of spring where the only noise the students could hear looking back and forth to each other.
Hotaru had snapped out of her dazed state and returned to her normal façade "I don't want to burst everyone's bubble but, she doesn't remember us meaning it most likely won't be the same as it was." Everyone knew this, but they just wished it wasn't true. They had never stopped thinking about Mikan. The 15 year olds nodded sadly and dismissed their selves obviously all still deep in thought. but three still remained.
Hotaru, Natsume and Ruka
"Are you going to try and make her remember, Hyuuga?" Hotaru asked bluntly as soon as everyone left, leaving a sad expression on Ruka's face knowing his answer.
"Of course" he nodded and walked away, he felt angry that she even needed to ask. He left the blonde and raven head girl alone. "Is there any point in trying to stop him?" she asked Ruka already knowing the answer and him knowing he didn't have to reply. They walked back to their rooms and thought hard about what was going to happen, will they try to make her remember or just act in the shadows as strangers.
"Mikan, I missed you" Hotaru whispered to herself.
