I hope you like this story :)
It is a bit different from the manga and the characters in this a bit different too
I DON'T OWN GAKUEN ALICE.

Back drop for the story:
(It is mostly similar to the manga but a few things are changed. It is post-manga)
Mikan Sakura is a 17 year old girl and is about to start her 2nd year of high school. She starts regaining her alice and the academy is informed about it. When the academy approaches her, it is only the teachers and the High school Principal. They tell her about her past and show her the past to make her believe them. Her grandpa also tells her the truth and she is asked to join the academy again.
She doesn't get her memories back but knows about her past.
Natsume and Ruka are still in highschool .
Hotaru and Subaru are still present there in the academy.
So basically she is a different person than that portrayed of her in the manga when she was 17 years old.

Mikan POV:
(10 AM)
Today is the day I turned 17. And today is also the day when I learnt about my past.
There are 4 men sitting in my living room namely: Kazumi Yukihara – who is apparently my uncle and the principal of the highschool division, Narumi Anju – who is a teacher and someone who seemed to be very close to me and my mother, Masachika Shiki – who is the junior high principal and Noda – who is a teacher who like Narumi Anju seemed to be close to me and also a time traveller.
Right now they are briefing me about the school but I don't think I can take it anymore
All these years I believed my parents died in a car crash! All these years I had been carrying false memories! All these years I was not me! All these years I was fucking clueless and now these people decide to show up. What if I had never gotten back my alice? Would they have never told me about my own past?
"Mikan, are you listening?" asks me calmly
"Uh yeah- actually no. I am sorry but please repeat. Sorry it's just too much to take in." I say with an apologetic smile.
"It's okay. We understand. Since you have regained your alice it will be safe for you to be and complete your education at Gakuen Alice. You will have your own dorm rooms there. We have all sorts of recreational sites and you will also have various co-curricular activities. Along with regular classes you will have classes to enhance your alice. Your fee will be paid and you will get your books and uniform too." replies
"What about communication with people outside the academy and electronics, Mr. Kazumi?" I ask
"About that, electronics from outside are not allowed. And as far as communication is concerned, each hostel has a computer room form where you can get access to internet." He replies.
"Mikan, I understand this is hard for you but please understand this is for your own good." he says.
We discuss further about the academy and turns out it is similar to a jail – no electronics, no meeting with people outside the academy excepting a few days which happens rarely, internet access only in the computer room.
"Do the students there know me?" I ask
"Yes" replies
"Do they know I am coming back?"
"Yes, they do. You don't have to worry Mikan, you will definitely get along well with them." He replies
"I'm afraid we will have to leave now. We will be back to pick you up tomorrow. Okay?" Mr. Kazumi says
"Yeah, Okay." I say
I walk them to the door with grandpa. And before leaving, turns and hands me a box.
"This is a little gift from us for your birthday. Since you can't use your phone inside the academy, this one will do. Happy Birthday. Please feel free to contact me whenever you need to. And if you want you can call me uncle. " He says with a gentle smile.
As they leave I feel the urge go to my room and lock myself up. Sometimes ignorance is bliss.
"I'll be going upstairs Grandpa to start packing." I say and dart to my room.
(Time skip to 3 am – next day)
I am laying in my bed, finally all things packed and transferring my stuff from my old phone and laptop to my new phone and I somehow can't stop crying. I have been crying for a long time now.
I wish I at least knew my parents. Why the hell did they erase my memory? I could've kept quiet. Why the hell everything is hitting like a storm! What a great birthday! I still haven't told Kyle about it, not that I am allowed to but he needs to know I am going away. He is the only bestfriend I have.
I don't know when I drift off to sleep.
I wake up to the sound of someone knocking at my door. I get up and open the door to see Mr. Narumi standing there. He looks at my face and frowns.
"Good morning dear, looks like you've had a long night. Is there anything I can help with?" he says while entering the room.
"Uh, Good morning ." I say groggily
"No need to call me . You can call me sensei." He says while looking at the boxes.
"Okay sensei. Do you think you can help get these boxes down?" I ask so that I can get him out of my room.
"Yes, sure. Why not. We will be leaving as soon as you get ready." He says while starts picking up the boxes.
I get ready and take one last look at the house. Narumi sensei and grandpa are in the garden eating breakfast. I quickly grab a paper and a pen and write down a letter for Kyle. I don't mention bout alice and stuff but I tell him that I am going to Gakuen Alice after all from the exterior it looks like a prestigious which only the elite can attend. I mention the communication part and tell him that I would email him from now on.
I go down the stairs to join grandpa and Narumi sensei. We eat quietly. I bid goodbye to grandpa and promise to write him letters. Mr. Narumi starts putting all the boxes in the car and I give the letter for Kyle to grandpa telling him to give it to Kyle.
I help Narumi sensei to keep all the boxes in the car. I bid goodbye to grandpa and thankfully grandpa, unlike me, isn't the type who cries. I take my black back pack which too is fully packed with me and sit in the passenger's seat. This back pack to me is like a friend, a partner in crime, a brother. Yes, I do personify things. This back pack maybe be a little worn but I always take it with me where ever I go.
"Isn't it heavy? I can keep it at the back if you want." Narumi Sensei asks
"No, thank you." I say as I look at my home one last time.
He starts the car. It is 3 hour journey. I look at myself in the rear view mirror.
I am wearing my specs which has a black frame. Tears threaten to come out of my eyes. I look horrible. I have puffy eyes which look like lemons now and I am clutching onto my bag like it is my life.
