Chapter 1
Choices to Decide
AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
That was a high-pitched scream of an optimistic, spunky, and jovial 12 year old brunette. You guessed it. She's Sakura Mikan! As usually, she was late for class. She jerked out of bed while stumbling and did her usual routine. Wash her face, brush her teeth, and change into her elementary school uniform. She looked at herself in the mirror and started to tie her in two ponytails when-
Snap!
Her two rubber bands snapped. She sighed. She decided, for a change to leave her extensive light-chocolate brown hair down. She took one more glance at the looking glass before heading out. She hurried as fast as she can towards her session. The thought of meanie Jinno-sensei yelling at her for being late made her feet run even faster and quicker. Why did he have to become a 6th grade teacher! Mikan thought. As soon as she opened the door of her classroom she….
Mikan POV
''GOOD MORNING! PLEASE DON'T YELL AT ME JINNO-SENSEI!'' I desperately and frantically plead with a bow.
Abruptly, everyone in the classroom starts to chuckle and giggle for an unknown reason.
''Mikan-chan, Jinno-sensei is not here yet,'' Yuu stated with an inward grin.
''Oh really? Phew! Thank Goodness,'' I replied, smiling jubilantly. ''Hotaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaru!''
I sprinted in the direction of my best friend who is occupied in one of her inventions when-
BAKA! BAKA! BAKA!
I smashed into the wall face-first and slid to the floor deliberately. Yep, this is the normal life of the everyday Alice Academy. Sort a.
''Ouch Hotaru! You're so mean! You won't let me hug you,'' I whined whiling touching my bruised forehead.
''Sakura-san, are you okay?'' a familiar voice questioned. I looked up and saw a blond lad with glittering sea blue eyes while holding a fluffy rabbit in one hand and the other laid out for me to grab it.
''Oh I'm,'' I ascend with the support of his palm,'' fine Ruka-pyon! Thanks for asking!''
Ruka's facade altered to deep shade of pink and stuttered. ''It-it-'s n-n-n-nothing, S-S-Sakura-s-san.''
''Hmm? Are you okay Ruka-pyon? Do you have a fev-''
''I told you idiot never to hug me,'' she said with a blank expression.
I twisted around to face my best friend again. ''But Hotaaaru! You're my best friend!''
''You're not my best friend. My best friend is money,'' she pronounced with dollar signs in her eyes.
''Eh! Hotaruuuuuuuuuu! Why are you so mea-!''
Without prior notice, the door thrust opens and everyone rambled to their seat including me, for the loose demon had come. Jinno-sensei.
''SHUT UP CLASS! QUIET DOWN!''
Immediately, the schoolchildren hushed and listened to their easily angered teacher.
''Before I go on with the lesson, I need Sakura-san to go to the principal's office. Now!''
I bobbled my head and stood up. I waved good-bye to all my friends especially to Hotaru, but she just mouthed,'' Leave or I will shoot you with my baka gun,'' while grasping her powerful weapon. I sweat dropped.
I ambled out of the classroom to see Narumi-sensei whom I'm really close to that I even call him ''Otou-san'' sometimes. He smiled before bringing me to the principal.
~ My One and Only Love ~
We stopped at the large wooden door engraved ''Principal's Office'' in gold letters. Narumi told me to knock, state my name, and my business. He told me that he would wait out here when I'm done. I do his order. After I heard the reply of the boss, I nervously turned the golden knob and walked in. My pupils widened as I witnessed the principal. Usually, as what any student would expect, would have to look slightly up because probably the principal was at least 6 feet, but no, I just had to look straight ahead. The ESP is the height of me, well one inch taller. The principal looks like a kid! He looks like my age. He combed his shiny black as coal hair with his fingers. He had dark brown eyes with a formal black suit as I would have anticipated before I saw him. We just stared at each other for a long time. For some reason, I felt shivers rolling down my back by his uncomfortable gaze.
''Hmm, I finally meet the famous nullifier, Sakura Mikan, the partner of the Fire Alice, Hyuuga Natsume. Well we did meet already at last year's Christmas Ball,'' he remarked.
I remained frozen, unable to say anything. He gazed at my tense and nervous façade; he snickered in a somewhat menacing tone.
''Anyway, the reason why I called you out here is that because you need to know about your second alice.''
''What! My second alice? I have a second alice!'' I exclaimed in a shaken, stunned tone.
''Yes, it's S.E.C. which means Steal, Erase, and Copy.''
''Oh my, gosh….''
''The Alice Academy in America wants to train you. Honestly I would have the Alice Academy here train you, but I believe that the one in America will train your second alice much more…properly''
''I don't want to go to America. I would miss all my friends.''
''This would be a great opportunity,'' he sighed,'' If you change your mind, please come to me. Consider this Sakura-san.''
''Thank you,'' I respond quietly and gaited my way out the door with my ''Otou-san'' back to class.
~ My One and Only Love ~
''What! The Alice Academy America wants you to train your second Alice, the S.E.C!'' Ruka bawled with complete shock written all over his face.
''Yeah Ruka-pyon,'' I answered back at him.
''Are you going to go?'' Anna asked with a depressed expression.
''Yea, are you going to go Mikan-chan?'' Nonoko questioned.
''I don't know guys.''
''PLEASE DON'T LEAVE US!'' Anna and Nonoko wailed. ''PLEASE DON'T G-''
BAKA! BAKA! BAKA!
''Ouch! Hotaru! Why did you do that?'' Anna and Nonoko say in unison.
''Don't make the baka feel guilty and make her want to stay when it's best for her to leave. Alice Academy America is an elite school just like us, possibly even better. The school will help properly train her second Alice.''
Even though Hotaru said that with no expression, I can tell that her eyes are full of sorrow and despair. Grandpa use to tell me, before he died a couple of months ago, that you can tell what a person is thinking by looking at their eyes. He was right.
''Hotaru….'' I murmured. ''I don't know what to do. I don't want to leave you guys, but I need to master my second Alice and if America Alice Academy will do that, I think I should go. Ugh…I don't know what to do!''
Silent enveloped my friends and I before-
''I know! I'll ask Natsume. I think he'll know what's best!''
I fled from my chair and dashed out the door to the place Natsume was most likely to be. The Sakura Tree. Natsume, in my opinion, is really important. After all, he is the one I have a crush on. Yes, I have fallen in love with him. He has been mean to me, but he has been the one to take care of me. Be my protector. Be my shield. Be the shoulder that I could cry on. Be the one I could always go to if I have any problems. He's the one that I can always depend on. He's the one I love.
''Sakura really loves Natsume,'' Ruka-pyon whispered. ''She's all yours now Natsume. I'm giving up on her and handing her over to you. Take care of her.''
''What did you say, Nogi?'' Hotaru questioned with an impassive face.
''Nothing at all,'' Ruka answered with a grin.
''Natsume! Wake up! Natsume!'' I squawk. ''I know you're not really asleep! Your manga is just covering your eyes so I would think you are asleep, but I really know you're not. Natsume!''
~ My One and Only Love ~
I pulled the manga off his face and realized his eyes are actually closed. He really is sleeping. Wow, how could he not have woken up by my constant yelling?
''What do you want polka dots?'' he questioned with suddenly his eyes open.
I stumbled back a bit shocked with an ''O'' shaped mouth. ''So you were really awake? Good! I have something to tell you!''
''Is this a confession? Have you finally fallen in love with me?'' he replied with his famous smirk.
''Eh? No!'' I lied with a dark shade of pink on my cheeks. ''Ne Natsume, how would you feel if I left Alice Academy?''
''I would be the happiest guy in the world. You're such an annoying pest. I would be thankful if you left.''
Ouch, that really hurt me. He hates me that much huh. I twisted around so my back faced him. My vision quickly becomes blurry and hazy. Wet drops rolled down my face and splashed roughly on the ground. My last words to him…
''Thank you for telling me how you feel about me! Have a happy life! Farewell, Natsume.''
I clicked my heels and start running and running. Unexpectedly, I bumped, more like crashed, into the person that I needed to talk to.
''The Elementary School Principal!'' I instantly wiped my tears. ''I've decided. When's the next flight to America?''
A.N. (10/9/11): I have changed the title of this story to My One and Only Love from My One and Forever Always Love. Don't worry! The alteration doesn't change the plot of this story.
