Disclaimer: I don't own Alice Academy/Gakuen Alice in any way.

Ruka Nogi picked up her headphones, ones that he found on his doorstep that morning. He observed it closely, so closely that the picture burned in his brain. Had it not been that she got run over by a car last month, he wouldn't have been surprised that it was hers.
Everyone remained confident that Sumire Shouda was the one who pushed her in front of the car. And yet some, like Ruka himself, believed that it was something else entirely.
Did she even like listening to music? Was that something about her that I didn't know? It occurred to him that he didn't know many things about her, and in fact, she knew more things about him. After all, she was his notorious blackmailer.

What was that? Flustered, he listened to the raven haired girl's faint voice closely, pressing the headphones against his head.
It's selfish, yeah, I know. But I didn't know what else to do. I'm not happy the way I am, and I don't think I'll ever be happy with my life like this. So here it goes:
The first reason why I would want to do this.
Mr. Narumi.
Author's Note: Yeah, I know it's short. It's my first fic, so I'm still not sure what I am supposed to do here… But I hope I did it correctly! Hope you enjoyed it and if you did, I'll be working on the second chapter soon!
