A new day at a new school and I ask myself why I am here? Right, my parents needed an excuse to get rid of my weird freakiness after my career suddenly crashed with that hot pop singer, the guy was a jerk and had no right to treat me like he did. That tramp blamed me for the reason he dumped me, but really it was his own fault that I was forcably kissed and he wouldn't listen to reason. Pretty much my parents got tired of me using these little "powers" around the house and sent me off to Alice Academy, my parents have never understood me because they only cared about what was normal.

I walked into class wearing a fake smile on my face, my shoulders back and my new school uniform. It had a plaid shirt and black jacket and a hunter green bow, then a white dress shirt underneath. I walked in front of the class and smiled my biggest phony smile I could and said, "My name is Serina Touya, it is a pleasure being here."

"Miss Touya, please take a seat at the back of the class next to Mr. Akira, please so we can begin class."

I went and sat next to this seemingly harmless guy, but was I ever wrong, "I'm Tonouchi, but you can call me Tono," then he put his hand on my leg.

"Remove your hand or you might as well write out your will," I told him between my teeth.

"Tono," a boy in front of him said, "leave her alone she happens to have the Alice of controlling hydrogen. Which means she can move you blood in any way she wants, into the most uncomfortable positions."

He quickly removed his hand and scratched his head as if he felt guilty or he just didn't want me killing him. "Gosh, Neon, you didn't-"

"I did, because it's my job to protect poor innocent girls from perverts like you," he said looking back into my amber eyes.

"Of course both of you should be ashamed, for one you are a sick pervert and two I happen to be able to protect myself from perverts like him! Now if you don't mind I would like to listen to the teacher," that's what made me mad about people like them, they would think just because I was a girl I couldn't protect myself so they would have to point it out. The singer was the same way.

They listened to me, but that's because they separatly ganged up on me after class. First is was Tono.

"So, what are you doing tonight because-" he began.

"Definently not you," I snapped and jogged of around the corner. That's where Neon was waiting for me.

"I'm sorry for earlier, I guess I really don't know you," he was apologizing and I felt guilty about the way I had acted earlier too. "Can we start over?"

"Umm... sure."

"I'm Neon Shiki and you are?" he asked like a total gentleman.

"Serina Touya," I told him shaking his hand. "It's nice to meet you, may I ask what your Alice is since you know mine?"

"Mine is lightning, not to be mistaken by one of the teachers here who is the math teacher, his is thunder there is a big difference," he started to explain.

"Lightning is blue and thunder is yellow, it's rarely ever that you get to see lightning," I told him smiling.

He looked at me in astonishment, that's when I looked over his features, he was somewhat muscular, had brown hair, blue eyes, and stood maybe six foot. I on the other hand stood at five one, had black hair, amber colored eyes and was petite in all of my features except for my knee length hair.

"Hey," he said recovering, "would you like to hang out tomorrow during lunch, I get to hang out with many girls, but you are different, I can tell."

"Different how?" I was puzzled with the way he casually said that I was different.

"If you hang out with me during lunch tomorrow you will find out," he said walking away.

Once he had turned the corner down at the other end of the hall I sighed and leaned back against the wall behind me. What was it with these stupid popular bors, they always had to start something with me, flirt, tease and many more things I would never consider lucky for me. For once I wanted someone who loved me for who I really was, the girl who was once a great singer and the girl who is also very strange in many ways, I was intelligent, layed back, loved all kinds of books and called snakes cute.

"So," the familiar head of Narumi popped around the corner, "how was class?"

"You could have warned me about the pervert," I told him.

Narumi has known me since I was born, he was my father's best friend from when he went to school here with Narumi. I admired Narumi for always sticking up for me in the times I needed him the most and I knew he was very persistant at times too when he would ask me to do something for him, like I would run letters back and forth between home and here at Alice Academy, but I had never set foot inside here until now. Sadly, he alone has had to deal with a heartbreak that not even my father knows about and sometimes I wonder who it is, before I came here though I would wait for Narumi's return because out of my family and their friends he understood me most, I would tell him everything and he would just listen.

"Akira," he said, "sorry I didn't know Misaki would place you next to him."

"I guess you are forgiven," I told him pushing myself off the wall and turning to face him, "but I did meet someone else today."

"Oh, no this isn't good," he looked worried, "I told Joji I would make sure no rifrafs would fall for you."

"Naru," I told him, "Neon Shiki isn't a rifraf, he was really sweet to me, but that doesn't mean I will let him take advantage of me."

"Good," he hugged me gently and turned around, "you know where my room is if you need me, have a good day, I will see you later."

He left me and I headed of to my dorm where I could eat dinner then go to bed.
