Hello! This is my new story and I hope you guys like this one.
Disc: I don't own Gakuen Alice
"Someday you'll cry for me like I cried for you. Someday you'll miss me like I missed you. Someday you'll need me like I needed you. Someday you'll love me but I won't love you."
It's dismissal time and the students are running out from their class. A certain brunette who's name is Mikan Sakura is heading towards her best friend. She's 14 years old. Her hair is tied in ponytail, she has this round, thick glasses which is covering her hazel eyes, and she's also wearing braces. All the students think that she's a nerd which is not true because she really sucks in almost all of her subjects, especially Math. She's also getting detentions for being late or for disrupting the class when she accidentally sleeps. She's also wearing baggy pants, black sneakers, big orange shirt, and a cap. In short, she appears hideous and ugly.
It's a nice day; the sky is clear from puffy, gray clouds, and the birds are humming a soft, melodic tune. But not for her when a guy suddenly blocked her way. She has to meet up with her best friend for Christ sake!
"What do you want? Look, I have to go so i-," she trailed off when the figure turned his head towards her.
It is Natsume Hyuuga, the most popular guy in the school of Gakuen Alice. He has this messy raven hair and unique, and beautiful crimson eyes. He's the opposite of Mikan and he's also 14 years old like her.
"Can I talk to you? This won't take too long," he said.
Her heart skipped a beat and she just nodded absentmindedly. She even forgot that she had to meet up with her best friend. He led her towards a Sakura tree in the garden at the back of the school. There's a fountain at the middle of the area.
Natsume turned around and she almost gasp because she's been staring at him for quite a while now.
"W-what do y-you wa-want to talk a-about?" she stuttered out.
He looked at her and there's a visible tint of pink on Mikan's cheeks now. Her heart is slamming in its ribcage and her hands are also getting a little sweaty because of nervousness. She's talking ALONE with the most sought guy in their campus! Who wouldn't get nervous?
"I think you don't have much time for this conversation so I will get straight to the point now," he calmly said. Mikan can't calm her nerves and her heart feels like it's gonna explode any minute now.
"Mikan Sakura, I like you and I want you to be my girlfriend," he finally said it.
Mikan's eyes widened in shock and her mouth dropped slightly. She couldn't believe what she just heard.
"W-What?" she asked, thinking she just heard it wrong.
"I like you and I'm asking if you want to go out with me," he repeated.
For a second there, Mikan's mind went blank. Her blood is pulsing faster than ever and she feels like she's gonna faint now. Natsume didn't get a reply from her so he sighed.
"Don't worry, I didn't say that you have to answer it now. I'll give you some time to think about it," he said.
But Mikan is still frozen in shock and she can't find the words to reply. So she just stared at him as he walked away from her.
What am I gonna do now?, she thought.
It was yesterday when Mikan got a confession from Natsume and she's still thinking about how to answer his feelings. She do like him but she's confuse as to why would someone as handsome and popular like him will like her. She couldn't help but to think twice about this whole strange thing that happening to her.
She went to her class and she mentally cursed when she remembered that she's sitting next to Natsume. She sat warily on her seat, waiting for her best friend to come into the classroom. After a minute, the doors slammed open and she turned sharply. Her breathe hitched when it revealed the person that she doesn't want to see right now. Natsume Hyuuga. With his friends.
She looked away and focused on doodling on her notebook as if she didn't see any of them coming into the classroom. But it's really hard to pretend with all the girls screaming their lungs out when they saw them.
"Kyaaaa~ Natsume Hyuuga I love you!"
"Marry me, Hyuuga-sama!"
"Go out with me!"
Mikan sighed. She's already used with all these commotions because every morning is always like this. She continued to doodle that she didn't notice Natsume sitting beside her.
"Hey."
She was startled when she heard that handsomely voice. She looked up only to meet his gorgeous crimson orbs.
"Are you okay? You seem... daze," he said.
She snapped out of her trance and blushed crimson red when she realized that she's been staring at him. She just nodded and looked at the board. Their English teacher, Narumi Anjou, walked into the room with skinny jeans and yellow and pink striped shirt.
"Ohayou my beautiful class!" he greeted with much enthusiasm in his voice.
This is gonna be one hell of a day for me, Mikan thought.
Mikan is walking with her best friend towards the cafeteria. Her best friend is Hotaru Imai who has a short cropped, raven hair and amethyst eyes, and she's also 14 years old. She loves money, blackmailing to MAKE MONEY, inventing strange things like Baka Gun, which made Mikan as its everyday's victim, and eating crabs brains, which Mikan found really disgusting but she will not admit that to Hotaru is she still want to live a long and happy life on Earth.
They were ready to get in line but a sandy haired boy blocked them.
"Natsume said that you can eat with us," he said with a goofy grin on his face.
His name is Kokoro Yome who has this messy, sandy hair and chocolate brown orbs. He's one of Natsume's friends and he's also popular in the Gakuen Alice.
Hotaru eyes him skeptically but he just grinned and motioned them to their table. Mikan followed nervously because she can feel the girls' glares boring at her back. They stopped at the table at the right which is also near at the window. The table consists of 4 people and one of them is Natsume. Ruka Nogi is also there, he's Natsume's best friend who has blonde hair and cerulean eyes. He is as handsome as Natsume but he's the prince charming type while Natsume is the bad boy type. Beside Ruka is Yuu Tobita, he has brownish hair and light brown eyes but he's wearing glasses, though he's not really a nerd and in fact, he's awesome in every girl's eyes. Across from Yuu is Kitsuneme Yome, twin of Koko who looks almost the same as him but Kitsuneme has fox-like eyes. All of them are 14 years old.
"Yo, Sakura-san," Kitsuneme said.
"H-Hello," Mikan replied shyly.
Natsume grabbed her wrist and made her sit down next to him. She blushed really hard and her heart started to pump like crazy again. Hotaru just simply sat next to Ruka while Koko is beside Kitsuneme.
"I already bought your lunch," Natsume said, pushing a tray to Mikan which contains a medium fries, a burger, and a soda. Ruka also pushed a tray to Hotaru, it's crab brains, of course, and soda.
"Y-You didn't h-have to bu-buy this for me," Mikan managed to stutter out. She cursed inwardly because of her behavior.
"I want to," Natsume said.
"Just eat baka," Hotaru said across from her. Mikan did as what she told her to. They are talking and laughing on every joke that Koko and Kitsuneme are making. Not long after they finished their food, the bell rang, signaling them to go to their next classes. Natsume got Mikan's stuff and began walking.
"Hey, give me back my books," Mikan said.
"I'll walk you to your class."
Mikan tried to grab her books but failed when Natsume held it higher and he's taller than her. So she just gave up and allowed him to walk her to her next class.
For a week Natsume was doing those stuff and Mikan finally thought about her reply. She woke up a little early just to talk to Natsume. She looked for him in their classrooms for morning classes and afternoon classes but he wasn't there. So she decided to find him in the garden where he confessed to her.
As she walk, she noticed that today might rain because of the dark, thick, gray clouds that are covering the sky. It's so quiet but not when she finally arrived in the garden because there are murmurs that she can hear. She decided to leave whoever those people who are talking because she doesn't want to eavesdrop on them and it's none of her business anyway.
She started to walk away but before she could even step a feet from them, she heard something that made her froze.
"I can't believe that that Sakura girl fell from your tricks!" a girly voice said.
"Didn't I tell you that I'm going to win the bet," a familiar voice replied. Mikan is praying that she's just hallucinating or she's just mistaken.
"Yeah, and now that you won the bet I'm going to be your girlfriend from now on, Natsume-kun," the girl said. Mikan's eyes widened when her suspicion is right.
"That Mikan Sakura is easy to get so next time make it more difficult, Luna," Natsume said.
"Yes! And next time I won't be betting against you because I know that you will easily get what you want. That nerdy Sakura deserves it, she thinks that she can have you? That will be the day when the pigs can fly!" the girl exclaimed.
Mikan couldn't take it anymore so she ran away. Her eyes sting and her heart shattered. Just when she started to think that she can also somehow believe in fairytale when there's a happy ending, everything breaks into pieces, her heart shattered into pieces.
Not long after, her tears flowed on her cheeks as she ran faster, away from Natsume. Away from everything. She stopped at the corner of an abandoned music room to catch her breath and cry her heart's out. She clamped her mouth to prevent making loud cries. She slid down on the wall and curled herself into a ball.
If she just didn't believe about him liking her, she wouldn't be like this. She wouldn't fall for him, hard. It's unbearable knowing that the one that she loves is just playing with her heart all this time.
Her thought were cut off when she heard her phone rings. She roughly wiped her tears and swallowed the lump on her throat before answering her phone.
"Hello?"
"Mikan-chan, can you go to the Headmaster's office now?" a lively voice said through the other line.
"Oh, Uncle! Sure, I'll go there now," Mikan replied. Her voice was kinda cracked which didn't went unnoticed by her uncle.
"Are you okay, Mikan-chan?" her uncle sounded worried.
"I'm okay, Uncle. Today is just kinda chilly."
"Oh, Okay. I'll be waiting here at my office. Bye Mikan-chan."
"Bye, Uncle."
Mikan shut her phone before closing her eyes. After a few minutes of calming her self, she stood up and dusted her skirt before walking towards the Headmaster's Office which is in the building next to their High School division. She seems so focus on getting in her Uncle's office that she didn't hear Koko shouting her name.
"MIKAN!"
Koko went to her side and poked her head which broke her trance so she turned to look at Koko.
"Hey, I was like calling you for a hundred times but you wouldn't even look!" he said.
"Sorry. I was kinda distracted earlier because I was called by the Headmaster," she said. No one knows about her Uncle being the Headmaster of the school or anything about her life except from her best friend, Hotaru, because she's trying to keep a low profile.
"Oh! Don't tell me Mikan is being a bad girl now and got in trouble!" Koko faked a gasp.
Mikan rolled her eyes and said, "I have to go. I'll... talk to you later." She then ran off before Koko could even reply.
She arrived in the Headmaster's Office and knocked on the door 3 times before she heard a 'Come in'. She opened the door and saw her Uncle smiling at her. Her Uncle's name is Kazu Yukihara, he's the only brother of her father. He has this bronze hair and gray eyes. He's tall and he's in his 40's.
"Mikan-chan!" he has his open arms, waiting for her to hug him. And she did and pulled away to ask what is she doing here.
"About that... I talked to your dad and he wants you to...," he trailed off. Worry and nervousness can be trace on his face.
"He wants me to what?" Mikan asked. She's growing more anxious and worried about this whole thing because her Uncle won't be calling her if this case is not serious.
"HewantsyoutomovetoAmerica," he said it fast that Kazu had to catch his breath after that.
"He...what?" Mikan asked, knitting her eyebrows. She didn't catch what the heck did her Uncle just said.
"He...wants you to move to America. Together with your family there," her uncle said slowly this time.
Mikan just stares at her Kazu, trying to process what he just said. Then, she gasped and asked, "When?"
"Next week," he said softly.
Mikan crossed her arms on her chest and sat on the black leather seat beside her Uncle's table. Her eyebrows are furrowed and she totally forgot what just happened earlier for the moment. She turned her gaze towards Kazu.
"I'm... going to think about it," she said, sighing.
"Okay. I'll tell your father about it," Kazu smiled at her and patted her head.
"What should I do?" she murmured to herself. She's walking aimlessly in the school grounds; it's lunch time. She saw her best friend, Hotaru, with Natsume's friends. She walked towards their direction and halted when she heard what are they talking about.
"Hey, don't you think Sakura is stupid?" Yuu asked, taking off his glasses.
"Yeah, I mean, how could she believe that Natsume really likes her? She's a nerd which is not the type that he's looking for!" Kitsuneme exclaimed. Ruka nodded along with the others. Hotaru is just standing there without any emotions.
"That Mikan is really an idiot," Hotaru said, rubbing her temples.
"I'm not trying to be mean or anything but I agree with you. Natsume... and her? That's kinda impossible. They live in different worlds!" Ruka said.
This time Mikan didn't cry. She just stood there as anger rushed on her nerves and she had to calm her self so she wouldn't lose control and just punch each one of them. She walked briskly away from her so-called-best friend and the others.
Mikan reached the Headmaster's office and slammed it open. Her eyes shows nothing but anger.
"I'm going in America tomorrow."
