Me: Hi everyone! I'm starting a new story. Hope you enjoy it!

Mikan: What's the story about?

Natsume: You're gonna have to read it to find out. Obviously!

Hotaru: Well you couldn't expect an idiot to know that now could you?

Mikan: HEY! I'm not an idiot!

Ruka: Er…anyway. ­blazingeyes does not own Gakuen alice or any of its characters.

Me: By the way, Everyone's thirteen in this story.

'HOTARU!!' screamed an over excited Mikan as she ran over to hug her best friend.

'HOTARU!!' yelled an angry Ruka who came storming into the classroom holding some rather embarrassing pictures of himself and waving them in front of Hotaru's face.

'HOTARU!!' shouted an exhausted Yue who had obviously been running too fast.

Hotaru sweat dropped as all three of them collided and fell to the ground with a big crash.

They all started talking at the same time, none of them making any sense. Hotaru didn't even bother telling them to shut up since,

'SHUT UP!!' yelled Sumire from her seat. 'What the hell do you think you're all doing? Making so much noise…HEY! What're you laughing about?'

The three of them tried not to snigger but in vain. As Sumire spoke, whiskers and cat ears had unknowingly sprouted from her nose and head respectively. She somehow noticed this and turned beetroot red. Before she could say anything else, Hotaru turned to Yue and asked him, 'What were you saying?'

'HEY! We came here first!' yelled Mikan and Ruka simultaneously.

Hotaru considered them for a second before turning back to Yue.

'Mr. Narumi says we're having a new student today!' said Yue excitedly.

'A new student?' said Mikan and Ruka simultaneously.

'Is it a he or a she?' asked Hotaru.

'A boy I heard.' Said Yue.

'OOH! I wonder what his alice is!' said Mikan curiously.

Ruka gave Natsume a subtle, worried glance. I wonder how he'll take it. Well, I suppose he did handle Mikan when she was new…so, how hard could it be? thought Ruka.

'Well class! Pay attention please. We're having a new student joining us today. Be nice to him okay?' said Mr. Narumi giving Sumire a sharp look as he said the last sentence.

Everyone waited with bated breath as the new kid walked in. He was tall and lean with raven black hair, somewhat similar to Natsume's. and he had piercing green eyes. Apart from that he looked friendly.

'Hello everyone. My name's Masato and I'll be joining the academy today.' he said with a little bow.

'Well come on and tell us your alice already!' said Sumire impatiently.

He seemed a little taken aback by Sumire's bluntness but nevertheless he smiled and replied,

'My alice, is to be able to control fire.'

There was a silence for a while. It took a little time for everyone to be able to digest this information. At one point, all of them turned and looked at Natsume, half-scared, half-curious.

Masato's words seemed to echo across the room for Natsume.

My alice, is to be able to control fire…

Me: Haha! I left a little cliffie there.

Natsume:…

Me: What's the matter, cat got your tongue?

Everyone: (sweat drops)

Me: Heheh…bad joke. I know…
