Darkness. All around me is darkness. Up and down, left and right. How am I suppose to get out? I kept on running convincing myself that if I do I will surely find light. Am I even going the right way? Maybe I'm running away from the light? Maybe I'm going right way? I don't know...

Ah! There it is a light! I ran faster, faster and faster...

"MIKAN!" I hear my name being called from the direction of the light. I kept on running, then I tripped. The light disappears.

"You know what? I only friends with Mikan-chan because she gives me also of presents!"

"Same here! My momma says that I am a good kid being friends with Mikan-chan."

"I actually don't really like her you know? The only part I like is that she is rich!"

"Same here! haha"

Because she's rich... those words echo in the darkness. I crouch down and cover my ears. Don't let that bother you YUKIHIRA MIKAN! You are a YUKIHIRA! BE STRONG! I'm convincing myself again... I uncover my ears slowly.

"It's her!"

"Monster!"

"Demon!"

"She doesn't deserve to be alive!"

I cover my ears and shut my eyes. "NO! I AM NOT A MONSTER! NO... I am not!" I shouted into the darkness.

"Ojou-sama?"

My eyes shot open. I sat up straight on my bed. I panted, my forehead was dripping sweat like crazy, I had that nightmare...again. I looked at Shiro, my bulter of the same age who had been with me since when I was age 3.

"Is it that again?" Shiro asked worried. I nodded.

"Yeah...it just doesn't stop. Can I have my tea please?" I responded back while getting off the gigantic bed of mine.

"Yes, my lady." responded Shiro as he proceeded to pour me my morning tea.

I took a sip and immediately felt refreshed. Yes there is nothing in this world better than some tea. When Shiro left, I undressed my pajamas and wore my school uniform. Yes unfortunately, summer break is already over and we have to return to the academy. The academy I hate the most. Yes. Alice Academy.

Calling that school a prison would be an understatement. Sure it's an elite school for the elites but, that school treats us like prisoners. We aren't allowed outside the school gates during the school year, not even winter break. You are only allowed back after you graduate, or every summer IF you have the top grades. The reason why? Because we all have this thing called an alice. It's a special and unique ability that we all possess at this academy while some only possess one other could posses more than 1 although it's quite unusual. So what kind of alice do I have? I have the Nullification and Ice Alice and Shiro? He has the barrier and mind controlling alice that allows him to control you as long as you are within eye distance.

Well me going back to school onlys means one thing of course, I along with Shiro maintain the top grades for boy and girl in our school. I guess the school was kind enough to choose the top boy and girl. That doesn't really change the fact that school is basically prison. Leaving isn't allowed at any cost. Christmas? Ha, they had a party for that. New Years? You get cards from parents, meeting them? No way. Death of Relative? Who cares, still can't go out. This is the reason why I must maintain the top grade, not that it's hard or anything, in fact for a person like me, it's quite easy, so it's no problem at all. The situation is the same with Shiro, top grades? For him, it's a piece of cake.

Me and Shiro arrive at the damned academy from our summer break which is only 2 weeks long, why? Because the school apparently thought that since you can't go anywhere why not extend the damn school year? Two weeks? Apparently that's more than enough for them.

Well anyways, Shiro opened the limousine door for me and I stepped out already in a bad mood. The gates open for us to get in and as it opens everyone stares at us and I can hear them all mutter to each other:

"It's the Ice-Queen... ah she's finally back huh?" I don't really give that much thought and just walked to my home room. Again. Everyone stares and whispers. I walked to the back table where I always sit, and there sat another boy.

I stood in front of that boy. "Hey, move." I said with a blank expression. If he knows me he should move without a second word coming from my mouth.

That boy just looks up at me with a smirk. "And what if I don't want to?" he said back casually.

"tsk! If you don't want to you say?" I said irritated but surprised that someone actually dares to speak to me. When he said that everyone in the class started muttering about how he is brave to speak back to me. I sighed and thought that it probably won't bother me if Shiro is the one who sits next to him instead of me. Too bad my train of thoughts were interrupted.

"YO NATSUME! GUESS WHAT?" A cheerful voice called out as he started running towards our table. Oh yeah that dude must be Natsume.

"Wataru. I'm sitting here from now on." hat boy Natsume said to the cheerful called Wataru. Natsume looked at me with his red and sharp eyes that any normal person would of been frightened.

"Do whatever you like." I said pulling Shiro into the seat beside Natsume. That shit gets on my nerves and I don;t think I can survive the year sitting next to him. Shiro smiled immediately knowing my reason.

"Yes milady. " He said sitting down next to Natsume. I sat down next to Shiro. I crossed my arms and put my right leg over the left. I felt my face form into an annoyed expression as my classmates all stared at our table of 3. I glared at them and they immediately turned around.

Our homeroom teacher walked into the classroom with a huge smile plastered across his face as she threw up his hands and said loudly.

"Good Mornin' class! Welcome back to class students and welcome back to school Miss Yukihira and Mr Renji it's nice to see you guys back, we missed you so much! Anyways over the break I have decided to change the seating order. But because I am nice I am allowing you and are table of 3 stay together but the order of you guys will be randomly chosen!" He took out a box. "Now every table on the left side of the classroom! The one sitting on the left will be..." He stuck his hands in the box and pulled out a piece of paper. "On the right side! The Middle person will be sitting...ah you guys can sty where you are and the people sitting on the right side will sitting on the left side!" He paused then looked at the right side of the classroom, which is my side by the way. He put the papers back into the box and said. "Everyone on the left side of the table...will be staying where you are now." So Natsume doesn't have to move. Lets hope I don't have to move either. "Everyone sitting on the Middle...will switch with people on the right!" My eyes widen. Fuck.

Me and Shiro switched seats. I am now in between Natsume and Shiro and in front of me is Natsume's friend Wataru. Ah fuck, this can't get any worst. I signed out loud. Beside me I heard Natsume scuff.

I growled "What Natsume?"

He smirked "Take care of me from now on, Miss Yukihira" I ignored him. Completely.

Lunch time came and me being a special star and Shiro being a 3 star got our fancy lunch from the cafeteria and ate at our usual table. Just as I started to eat Wataru set his tray across the table from me. Looking at his lunch I can tell that he is a 3 star like Shiro. I looked up at him from my food and stared at him.

" So what brings you here?" I said picking up my tea to take a drink.

"Ne. By any chance...could you be...my first love?" He questioned. I almost choked on the tea I was drinking. What the hell? First Love?

"Who knows? I just met you today." I said setting my tea down.

"Ah then there is no way then. I don't think she would be like an icicle. But you guys really look-alike! You should be glad because she is the most beautiful person I know." Wataru said in awe. Most likely his in wonderland right now. I didn't think much about it, I mean there could be a lot of people who look like me so who knows.

"Ojou-sama, I think-" Shiro said halfway before he got interrupted by Natsume.

"Ya Wataru, what are you doing here?" He said as he walked towards us with his hands stuck in his pocket.

"Yo Natsume! I was just thinking doesn't Yukihira remind you of Yuu-chan?" Wataru said with a smile on his face.

"Nevermind... I shall tell you later." Shiro whispered in my ear. Yuu-chan? That name sounds oddly familiar. Where did I hear it before?

"Yukihira? And Yuu, that idiot? Ha. There is no way Wataru. Do you remember that smile that was always plastered on her face? Compared to Snow-Queen there is no way." Natsume responded to Wataru.

"Well, I'm sorry if I'm not smiling all the time and being cold." I said annoyed. "Lets go Shiro."

After me and Shiro left the cafeteria, I asked him about what he was going to tell me."

"Ojou-sama, you might have forgotten about this but Mr. Natsume and could be your childhood friend." Shiro said with a serious face on. My eyes darkened.

"Natsume...Hyuuga...Wataru...Renoski..."

Hello~
