A/N: Hey, new story! So I know this is just the first chapter so I'm not expecting much but could I expect even just some comments on my writing style. Since I haven't posted a story since like forever so please?

Disclaimer: I own Gakuen Alice, not.

1st Entry:

Ok, I'm clarifying this to you. This is not a DIARY, it's a JOURNAL. Why do I have to clear this for you? Because people make stereotypes that people who own diaries are girly and all and I am NOT girly. And although it may seem like it, I do not have anger management problems. I was just annoyed by some people on my last journal because I started it with dear diary. Guess what? I'm not.

Today is the night before school once again starts. I haven't seen Hotaru in awhile and if I must say, I miss her. Not that I would tell her that face to face. I learned from the countless times I have done that, she always ended up hitting me VERY hard. I swear, she's wearing a steel glove of some sort. That not all. She even has this baka gun which I never found on Ebay.

I'm assuming Sumire will be annoying as she usually is with her fan girl squeal. I can bet in a million bucks that tomorrow she hasn't changed her ways if not, gone worse (if it's possible). Koko and I will have the most fun time mocking her just because we're so nice.

Ok, gotta go. My mom's rambling about my room's mess. It's an orderly mess if you ask me. Everything's where I can see them but she doesn't get stuff like that. Adults rarely don't.

I'm scheduling a fever tomorrow,

Mikan :)

The alarm clock stopped ringing about an hour ago. I looked at the clock. I knew it! I'd be late. It's like an unspoken tradition. The moment I stepped in the shower, the bus arrived honking like crazy. I came in hair dripping wet with Koko stifling a laugh.

"I know I look horrible."

"Talk about a bad hair day."

"Stop bickering would you?"

We stopped and looked at Sumire. It was weird of her to act this way.

"What's with the scolding?"

"I have to look perfect when Tono passes by, you two are giving me wrinkles." Now that's the Sumire we know.

The bell rang the moment we arrived. I made a run towards my homeroom class along with Koko and Sumire and I swear Sumire was cursing me under her breath. Well I guess it was partly my fault and the fact that the bus didn't speed up.

"Good Morning class! I'm going to be your homeroom teacher this year. You can call me Narumi-sensei." A lot of the class just stared wondering what his gender was. "Okay, this year will be different and in a good way. I expect that we will all learn a valuable lesson like listen to your teacher when he is speaking rather than chat with your seatmate! Time for introductions."

Unfortunately I wasn't classmates with Hotaru in this subject. It left me bored but my teacher seems interesting and fun though I'm not sure if he/she's a guy or girl. My classmates weren't all that new to me. Some of them were my classmates too when I was in grade school. I looked around to see if I had any close friends. Fortunately, I saw Anna. I waved at her but her seat was a bit far from mine.

The introductions were pretty much boring aside from all the squeals that were heard when it was Natusme's turn to tell. I bet Sumire was one of them. She had a LOT of crushes from different levels. It was annoying for most people but you learn to live with it. Some days, you even think it's too quiet when she's not around. I know it's weird.

Other classes passed pretty fast and before you know it, it's lunch period. I line up and think if my friends saved me a seat or if we still had the same table as last time. I guess I'd have to find out later since it's my turn. Okay, I guess I'll grab a plate of fettuccini and hash brown with some diet coke. I looked around to search their location. Thankfully, I heard Nonoko shout, "Over here Mikan-chan."

I looked to see that our new table was beside our last one which was occupied by some freshmen. Figures. That level always gets dismissed first and that means they get first pick. I sat down beside Hotaru who ignored me as she was very much caught up in eating crab. Do you see why I did not grow normal?

"Hi Hotaru-chan."

"Hey idiot."

"Mou, you're so mean."

"I don't care." And went back to eating.

I chatted with Anna and Nonoko and their schedules and basically I had most of them with Anna which is great. The bell rang a few minutes later and more orientations from people as always. I don't think any of us really expect anything much from the teacher because a lot of us don't really give a damn on who the teacher is if he or she's capable of teaching if he or she's boring then that teacher's boring period. Simple as that.

During departure, as I was walking with Sumire since our bus was still lacking some members, Tono approached me which gave a shock to both Sumire and I. It was a shocker that he even knew my name. I thought he only knew me as girl who is always with Hotaru or girl who I l usually see waiting outside the photography club's room but he didn't because he stopped as he was about to pass by and said,

"Mikan right?" he held out a hand to shake and turned to Sumire to give her a smile. She added him in facebook and he saw it was her birthday on the events column and greeted her not knowing how breathless it left her. They've been chatting every now and then.

"Uh, yeah. You actually know me?" I said incredulously. I just don't know when to shut up, do I?

"Yeah um, you're friends with Hotaru." Oh so maybe he was just here to make a messenger for Hotaru since she freaked him out.

"Yup, that's me. Is there something you wanted me to tell her?" sumire was just staring and smiling so goofily because of the smile he sent her way.

"Um, not really. But I need to talk to you…"he looked at Sumire and thew another smile and said, "privately." He concluded. She muttered a soft bye and skipped away. Wow, that so wasn't obvious. Why did she leave me? I was the best at starting awkward silences. I think I should win an award for it. No matter how noisy I am with my friends. I am very quiet when it comes to people who I'm not all that close with.

"Okay… so what did you want to tell me?" I really had no clue if it had nothing to do with Hota-chan.

"I pretended not to know you all that much when you were with Sumire because she might wonder why I do but truth is, I've been watching you when you drop her off at the club room, wait for us to be dismissed and I know it seems weird considering this is our first conversation but…" he looked into my eyes as I was afraid of what would come next. "I think I like you." Oh my effin' God!
