Picture Perfect

Gakuen Alice Fanfiction

There is always someone who is better than you and lower than you.

I, Sakura Mikan, have always been average.

You know, never got into the top but have good grades. Never got picked for the major roles in the school play. It's not like that I'm not good enough to do those roles but there's always someone who'll be playing it since he/she got picked out by the class.

People compliment me. They do. If we have that activity about writing at each other's back about their good traits, I always get 'good'. Oh I don't have any complaints about it. It is better than nothing. We've been having this activity every year. And every year I get the same. It sure is a nice thing being called like that. At least they know me. That makes me happy.

I never get any guy's attention. It must be because I'm not their type or anything. That gives me the time to concentrate on other things.

I also don't have any talent to show off to the public. I can play the piano but I'm not very good at it. I can write but not very well at it. Let's just say that I haven't mastered anything yet.

My friends are my classmates whom I've met at school. I don't know anyone at my place. But I'm more comfortable with the' since I see them almost everyday. There's Hotaru, she's the very best friend I've ever had. She can be mean but she cares for me. Apparently, she's a genius! She invents lots of things. Most of them are made just for pure pleasure to torture me.

My parents and I never had a serious talk before. We're not close or anything but we do talk. Just not the serious talk. We go on outings but they usually left me to my business and they can do their own business. I don't mind. As long as they are happy, I'm happy.

Despite all of this, I have a happy life. I may have lots of flaws but there are also good things about me. I may not notice it but I'm sure there's one. And I'm still young. There's still life beyond I've imagined. Nothing can make me down. I'll just have to do my best to be the one I've always dreamed.

It must've been hard to have insecurities. But let's move on and live our life.

AN: Once again, please bear with it! :)
