A/N: This is an AU and does not follow the original storyline, the characters may be OOC but no OC's will be introduced. Most probably.
Based off of the novel "Nothing" by Janne Teller.
Disclaimer: I do not own 'Nothing' or 'Gakuen Alice'.

One day Natsume Hyuuga stood up in the middle of class, gathered his things, and left without a word.
Just like that.
In the middle of a lecture about some long-ago war none of us really cared about, that no one was listening to in 4th period on a hot, dull afternoon. It was so random that no one even thought to stop him or even ask what he was doing. For a moment Narumi-sensei looked like he wanted to protest, but whatever he was going to say left his mouth in a deflated 'whoosh' and he slumped in his chair, giving up before he tried. Poor Narumi.
Hyuuga gave us something to ponder and whisper about the rest of the day. We were one of the smallest classes, a mixture of 21 students. Now 20, with Hyuuga seemingly gone like that. Hyuuga was smart, but I wouldn't say he was the smartest. That was probably my best friend Hotaru Imai. He was strong, but I still thought Tsubaka was the strongest, being one of the two 11th graders in this particular class, making him the oldest boy. Hyuuga was handsome, you could say, but his friend Ruka was too, and so were some of the other boys. I bickered with him from time to time, but no more than I bickered with others. He had a dangerous ability fire Alice, but besides this there wasn't absolutely anything specifically interesting about him.
Until today.
Today combined boredom spun rumors that spoke of insanity and used words like "snapped". Others said that maybe he just really had to use the bathroom. Others said he must have had a genius epiphany and had to act upon it at once.
Ruka Nogi decided to put the rumors to rest when he ventured out to find Natsume. He didn't have to venture very far, a little birdie had told him his best friend could be found on a cherry blossom tree on the path to the school. Literally. Ruka Nogi had the animal pheromone Alice.
"I'm not interested in anything anymore. In any of you. All of this.. everything.. means nothing." Natsume announced in a bored tone to his lifelong friend when he'd asked. These words were repeated and spread like the fire of his Alice, shifting and morphing words by person like in the game 'Telephone', until it was the hot topic that everyone was talking about. But the real deal was in 4th period the following day, because no one cared like the class it happened in. While we knew that the rest of the school would eventually bore of this information, we would only take it further as we spoke nonstop about Hyuuga's new revelation, unknowingly imprinting it into our brains, like a seed waiting to sprout.
So Natsume Hyuuga thought everything meant nothing.
"..We have to prove him wrong."
And this is how our story began.

Hullo there.
I could either extend this into some fluffy one-shot, or a longer, chapter story that will truly take on the novel 'Nothing', with it's Gakuen Alice twists.
I warn you- if the latter is picked, the story will get gory. (Don't blame me, blame Janne Teller and all her genius authoress glory.)
R&R or else this goes nowhere at all.
