Hi guys! So, this is my first fanfiction, I was just looking through a list of Taylor Swift songs when bam! this song just stuck out and screamed 'POTENTIAL FANFICTION'. So read, enjoy, review. Note: I do not own the song 'Hey Stephen' nor Gakuen Alice. On with the story! (And take the time to listen to the song :D)

Hey Stephen

Mikan's POV:

My gosh *sigh* was all that went through my head as he walked past me. This was basically how everyday seemed to go. It was about 6 years ago that this all started. When we met. As we became friends. It was about 6 years ago that I realized that I just might be in love with Natsume Hyuuga.

Tragic, isn't it? When I first arrived at Gakuen Alice, then learned that I had to be partners with that boy, I thought my head might explode. Why would anyone have wanted to hang around with some perverted, cold-hearted, downright mean, jerk! He always teased me and did anything he could to make me angry. Yet, somehow, I couldn't help but love every second of it. Of course I didn't realize this for a while. But then, after Hotaru's constant nagging, like "Oh, come on Mikan, it's plain on your face, we all know how bad you've fallen for Hyuuga," it sort of hit me. She was right. I fell for Natsume. I fell hard.

And how could I not? I mean, have you seen this guy? He was undoubtedly the most handsome 17 year old I had ever seen. No joke. But that's not everything. Sometimes, when I see him staring at me, even though I don't know why, I just want to jump up and kiss him, not even caring who's watching. But I would never do that, it's just weird. Not to mention the fact that that fan club of his (mostly Sumire) would probably choke the life out of me if I did. Yet in the end, I didn't care. Because through all the horrible teasing, the mean names, and the occasional kind moments, there is no one else that I'd rather spend another second with.

Honestly, I believed that a couple like us could work. I truly wished it would, though I'd never tell him that. Even though I've had my share of chances. Every other girl says she is so in love with Natsume, but how do they really know. When I think about it, he acts as if he really hates all those girls. But I've noticed that when he's with me, he doesn't send those feelings. He's less hostile and sometimes even open with me. There is so much to him, I know it. Even if he refuses to show the world, I know.

I want to be the one who can see him for who he really is, for what I believe he is. Because I don't think any other girl in the world could figure it out. I'd walk through fire for him (which, considering it's Natsume, I might have to) just to show how much I cared.

Well, back to reality, I could see Natsume, now sitting under what had become our sakura tree over the years. Finally, I couldn't help it and started over to sit beside him. After all that internal ranting, I just needed to be next to him.

I know. I've got it bad.

Well, thanks for reading and I hope you liked it! I'd love any kind of feedback. This story shouldn't be too long. It wasn't supposed to be a chapter story originally but, you know. Anywho, I shouldn't take too long. So long for now!
