Hi there! This is SilentVisionary. I actually had a sudden idea to make this fic. Honestly speaking, I have a bit of a dilemma right now. And somehow this seems to be the best outlet. I'll try my best to update as fast as I could! And I'll try to finish it too! Hopefully. :) Please support my this fic. It is "somehow" base on my life.

Chapter 1: At First Glance

It was a fine autumn's day at Gakuen Alice. I could see excited students fill the different corners of the school grounds as I walk down the corridors. Some students are already in the classroom, others where outside the corridors chatting with their friends and some more are even outside fooling about.

I clutched my bag tighter as I sense some students glance my way. It has always made me feel uneasy whenever I am surrounded by people that I do not know. It took me a while to finally get to my destination and I unintentionally let out a sigh of relief. Taking a deep breath, I gathered my courage and knocked on the door twice before entering the room.

"I'm sorry I was late," I said uneasily once I was inside.

"Mikan," I heard the ever so familiar voice of my uncle. "You know there's nothing to be nervous about."

I let out a sigh and shook my head. "It's a new school. I mean it's the school that you own and I know it's very prestigious and... I don't know if I could do it. I mean I'm kind of smart but not that smart…" I was then interrupted by my uncle's chuckle and I look up. "Was I babbling again?"

"You always do that when you're nervous," he said in reply. "You'll do just fine after all you went to one of the finest universities in America."

"But everything is new here uncle," I stated simply which made him sigh.

"Anyway, here's your schedule," he said finally after a while as he handed the paper to me. "There's also a map there in case you're lost."

I looked down at my schedule and then at the map before returning my gaze to my uncle. I let a small smile escape my lips. In the distance, I could hear the bell ring signaling for the start of classes. "I better get going then," I said. "Wish me luck uncle Kazumi."

My uncle smiled at me. "You'll just do fine. I promised both your parents I'll take care of you while you're under my wing," he said. I nodded in reply before giving him a kiss and then heading out to my classes.

Once outside my uncle's office, I looked at my schedule once more to check my designated classroom. It was a few minutes later that I found myself in front of the room. I let myself take a glance inside and let out a sigh of relief. It was a complete ruckus and the professor it seems like it was late. I prefer it this way, since it would be easy for me to sneak inside without anyone noticing me.

Cautiously, I maneuvered my way inside and silently made my way to the back of the class. I saw a free seat beside the window and decided to take it. I let a small smile escape my lips and mentally congratulated myself for being unnoticed.

I took this chance to take in the classroom's atmosphere. Of course everyone seems to know each other. School has already started for a month or so and it's the third year of college. I frowned at that. It would be difficult for me to make friends at this point.

'Why was it again did her parents suddenly decided to go back to Japan after all these years?' I found myself thinking. 'I would have been perfectly okay if they had let her stay behind in America. But no, they would not listen to her. She found herself instead packing alongside them and transferred to her uncle's school.'

I was then dragged back from my thoughts when I felt someone looking at me. I felt myself blush as I slowly shifted my gaze to my side. My eyes widened as my eyes landed on the most beautiful red orbs that I have ever seen and I thought I forgot to breath.

There on the other side of the classroom sat a raven haired boy. He was handsome and instantly I felt my blush deepen and my heart skip a beat. He was unlike the boys I have seen in my entire life. There was a different air about it. And as much as I want to look away, I could not move.

It felt like eternity has passed as we continued to stare at each other which was only broken when a sudden scrambling then silence ensued. Reluctantly, I shifted my gaze to our surroundings. Unlike the mess that the room was a while ago, everything was in order and everyone was seated properly. And I noticed that our professor for the period finally decided to show up and before I knew it classes were starting.

After that, the day passes by like a blur. I didn't know how I managed to survive my first day and somehow manage to befriend some of my classmates. But the one thing I do know is that in every class, he was also there. The handsome raven haired guy with the most alluring crimson eyes that managed to grab my attention and can make my heart beat fast just by staring at him was my classmate.

And that is it for the first chapter. (I'm kinda winging this fic so. It might be a while till I publish the next one.)
