Disclaimer: I do not own Gakuen Alice. I'm not that smart to write a masterpiece like that. :P
Chapter 1: The Letter
''Happy 14th Birthday, Natsume!'' everyone in the class B cheered joyfully except the one and only Imai Hotaru.
Natsume rolled his eyes and nodded in thanks before heading to his seat. His classmates, well most of them were his fan girls, ran up to him and gave him thousands of gifts. By the time everyone gave their gifts, the presents reached up to the ceiling.
''Wow, that's all lot of gifts Natsume,'' Ruka Nogi, his best friend, said in amazement.
''You can have half of it,'' Natsume replied coldly while placing his manga over his face.
''Come on, Natsume! Don't be like that. Enjoy your birthday!''
''Stop acting like an arrogant jerk, Hyuuga, and be thankful you got gifts from a lot of people including me,'' Hotaru Imai, aka the Ice Queen or the Blackmailer, utters with plainness in her tone.
''Ruka-pyon, you can have Imai's gift,'' he says ignoring what Imai just said.
''Natsume!'' Ruka shouts with a embarrassed and blushing face
''I know why you are acting like that, Hyuuga,'' Hotaru said.
Hotaru got his attention. He slipped his manga off his face and on to his desk. He raised his eyebrows, waiting on what she was going to say next.
''It's because of that baka, Mikan. You're just mad and upset that you didn't get a gift from her. You can't blame her, Hyuuga. She's in custody. She's locked in a room with a strong barrier. She can't have any contact with anyone besides the MSP (MSP stands for middle school principal) Shiki Masachika, HSP (HSP stands for high school principal) Kazu Yukihira, and the ESP (ESP stands for elementary school principal). It would be a miracle if she could send you something.''
Natsume tilted his head down and let his bangs cover his face. It was true what Imai had said. He wished that his dear Polka Dots would be able to send him something or even come and able to see him. That would really be a miracle for him. Mikan Sakura has been in custody of the ESP for already 2 years. She has no freedom. She's being inhumanely treated. He hates it.
''Hey Natsume! I need to talk to you out in the hall,'' Narumi-sensei interrupted the silence in a singing voice.
Natsume stood up from his seat and sauntered with his hands in his pocket out in the halls where he witness Narumi-sensei twirling around like a ballerina.
''Would you stop twirling already! It's going to make me puke,'' Natsume said with annoyance.
''Oh sorry about that!'' Narumi halted. ''Well first, happy 14th birthday, Natsu-''
''Yea, yea just cut to the point already. You're wasting my time.''
''Well, here's a special gift from someone very special. Don't tell anyone about this, okay? It's a secret! Enjoy,'' he responded and handed me a light pink letter before leaping back in the classroom.
I rolled my eyes again and walked over to the windowsill to sit down. I opened the letter slowly. My eyes widen in shock as I read the first sentence.
Dear Natsume,
It's Mikan, Mikan Sakura! I hope you still remember me! Happy 14th birthday, Natsume! Here's a cupcake, now blow the flame away! Hooray! I just gave you an invisible cupcake! It's pink and has red hearts all over it. You never got an invisible cupcake before haven't you?
Well duh, because the only one who's creative enough to give someone an ''invisible cupcake'' is you. Natsume thought in his head.
How have you been doing? I hope you are doing well! Have you been eating properly? Are you keeping your body healthy? I really miss you. I wish I could come see you again, but you know why I can't. I wish I could get out of here. I'm currently living in a big room! It's much bigger than my single star room and slightly bigger than your special star room as well. Amazing right? My room is protected by a strong Barrier Alice and no one and can go in besides those permitted. I can't go outside of the room either, but I can see and feel the scenery outside from the balcony. It's pretty lonely here even though I have Bear with me and Uncle, which is the High School Principal, and Shiki-san who visit me almost every day. I shouldn't complain though because this is for your safety and everyone's safety too!
Of course, you are always thinking about others before you, Mikan.
Sometimes Natsume, I can feel you are near the place where I am. Maybe it's because of the big red Alice Stone you gave me I can sense your presence. If you are looking for me, don't work yourself too much. I'm alright. One day, I promise we'll meet again. When we do, there's something I have to tell you. So just wait a little bit longer. It won't be that long, I promise. I hope you like the gift I gave you! Not the letter, there's something else in the envelope. Look inside! Enjoy!
-Mikan
P.S. You should really thank Narumi-sensei. He shouldn't be handing this letter to you, yet he did.
P.S.S. Please say hi to everyone for me and tell them that I'm doing just fine and happy as usual!
A smile came across my face. A smile that only a certain brunette could do. I promise you, Mikan, that I'll find you no matter what. I reach my hand in the envelope. Once I feel an object in my grasp, I take it out of the envelope. My eyes widen as I realize what it is. It's a key necklace. It was simple and it was more than I could have ever wanted for my birthday.
But a thought rang in my head.
I wonder why she gave me a key though. Was it supposed to unlock and what?
To be Continued
I hoped you enjoy this chapter! He's a feature of Chapter 2:
I turned around. The girl was lying unconsciously on the ground with blood seeping through her arm and a bit from her leg too. The image of Mikan came to me again and then back to the elementary schoolgirl. I sauntered to the girl and lifted her up in my arms.
''I'll go take her to the hospital. Ruka, Imai go tell the teachers about the accident. They should know about it,'' I order them.
