SKETCHES
Gakuen Alice is not mine. This story is what I own.
CHAPTER 1
A brunette was sitting on a bench, keeping a real nice view of what she wants to portray. The wind blew her hair and she felt like peaceful inside. She wants to draw the place so bad. But then, inspiration doesn't hit her.
She sighed heavily as she closed her eyes. "This is so not working!" She growled as she put down the notebook and crossed her arms. "What's wrong with me?"
"Seriously, there's something wrong with you little girl." A masculine voice sounded from behind her. Mikan on the other hand was shocked. "Stop talking to yourself or I'll think that you're retarded." He stated coldly but with an amused tone.
Mikan was relieved to see who it was. Natsume Hyuuga is beside her, just standing and leaning through the bench. "Hyuuga! You scared me to death!"
Natsume smirked. "Looks like somebody got problem." He joked.
Mikan just landed a soft punch on his shoulder. "Whatever."
By that, Natsume just rolled his eyes. But then, he travelled his eyes on the red notebook and picked it up. "Hmm…"
Mikan's eyes widened. "No! Don't look at it!" She quickly grabbed the notebook before Natsume turns the front page. "Trust me; you don't want to see it. I'm not that good enough like you!" She exclaimed worriedly as she hugged her pad, afraid to loose it and fall to other hands.
Swiftly, Natsume sat beside her and tickled her waist and Mikan reacted. He smirked. "Little girl. Hey, I don't mind. I don't give any compliments. "
Mikan opened her eyes and looked at Natsume. "Fine." She stated.
Once Natsume has the notebook, he looked at the contents of the page carefully, flipping in to other page. "Nicely done." He said. There on the sketch, he saw portrays of many different places. There were also drawings of cartoons and anime… It's really wonderful of it.
"And I thought you never give compliments." Mikan crossed her legs and pouted.
Natsume shrugged lightly. "If I have negative things in mind, I just don't say it because someone might get hurt."
"Are you referring me?" She asked, Natsume just shrugged once more.
"But can I borrow this for a while? I mean the notebook…" He asked, continuing to turn the pages to another.
Mikan looked up at her. "What the hell are you going to do with that? Burn to pieces?" She said in a mocking tone.
The raven guy smirked. "Course not." He said abridge. "I'll draw something, if you don't mind."
Mikan was silenced for a while but answered a short whilst. "Kay. It's fine with me." She shrugged.
"Alright." He assumed as he stood up. "I think I'll be going now. See ya shortly, polka dots."
"Stop calling me that!" She yelled then pouted.
She's 16 and a junior high student. But her age sometimes don't suit her well, especially her face. She's baby faced in fact. She's childish… And maybe it's only normal because she's the only child. Spoiled? Not really. She's sweet though. Sweet as strawberry.
She's an artist. She sketches nice sceneries and pictures of cartoons. But she wishes that her drawings are almost in reality, like that of a real person, like herself. But she is still improving her skills. And that guy a while ago was her senior, her perverted senior freak, to be precise.
She first met him in her freshmen years. The man named Natsume Hyuuga sure is popular. And he's known to be the guy of many talents. He knows how to play all sorts of sports. He's a member of almost every club at Alice School, but what the girls loved and liked about him is his genuine voice. Yes, his voice. He's the lead singer and vocalist of the A's Band (Alices Band). Not only that, he also knows how to play musical instruments. He's the guitar hero. But not a hero of every girls' hearts. He has a talent of breaking them, but that's according to the girls he charmed.
That's Natsume Hyuuga.
A man that's nearing to perfection…
That's according to Mikan. He's only nearing to perfection because of his rude attitude, not to mention, very unpredictable. First thing he'll be all nice to you then later become irate. Or it may go the other way around.
Mikan heaved a sigh. It's a hazy afternoon and school was over so she decided to go to the Sakura tree to portray it. But that does not count in today at this moment. Natsume got her note and he left.
"Well, better get going." She said to herself.
-SKETCHES-
"WHERE'S MY PICTURE?" A brunette screamed on top of her lungs as she run paced down the stairs.
"Honey, keep you're voice down low," her mother exclaimed while cooking in the kitchen. "There are still people sleeping by this early time in the morning." She added.
"I know, mom!" She exclaimed. "But did you see a picture of me with a guy under a wonderful Sakura tree?" She questioned.
Her mother glanced at her as she finished the pancake. "You, a guy, under a Sakura tree?" She asked humorously. "Is that guy you're talking about is you're boyfriend?"
Mikan pressed her lips. "No." She said simply. "Why are you being so malicious to everything I say which includes the word 'guy' in it?" She asked.
Her mother simply shrugged.
"You act like somebody I know." She skipped to the table and took a sit.
"Whatever. Just eat." She stated.
-SKETCHES-
"Hey, have you seen a picture?" Again, our little brunette asked once she entered their room.
"I have lots of picture here…" Hotaru said nonchalantly, putting them out one by one. "What do you want? It's 10 yen each."
Mikan sweat dropped. "Senior Ruka's picture?" She gulped as she pointed her forefinger to the pictures. "But that is not what I mean!" She pouted.
"If you're looking about the picture I sold you months ago, then, yeah, I haven't seen it." Hotaru said as she put back the pictures in a big paper bag. "And if you're asking to what these pictures are for, then it's for blackmailing Nogi."
Mikan's dropped sweat gained another. She thinks that she had befriended a money princess which is downright true. "And I thought you liked him that's why you got pictures of him. I mean loads of it." She held pictures and fled it in the air.
Hotaru suddenly grabbed Mikan's wrist and gave her a threatening glare. "Like and love doesn't exist in my vocabulary." She stated sternly. "…Only money and Blackmail." Then she let go of her hand.
Mikan pouted as she rubbed the wrist which Hotaru hold. "Mou…" Was the only thing that escaped her mouth.
The picture to which Mikan have months ago, was the image of her and Natsume sitting under a blossoming Sakura tree. Natsume was leaning at the back of Mikan and Mikan leaning at the back of Natsume. Mikan really did spend the rest of her allowance just to make the picture hers. Not that she likes the guy but she wants nobody to see it. It's so embarrassing for her, that's what she thinks. She had a rough time lowering the price but just ended up getting higher every lowering session. So Mikan got no choice. It also cost her a lot when she asked her best friend to delete all the negatives just to make sure nobody will ever see it. And she was also afraid that Natsume, her senior will see it.
But the worst of all, Mikan does not like to make her mother see that. She knew very well how her mother will react.
"Mikan…" Hotaru mumbled as she looked straight to Mikan's chocolate orbs. Mikan on the other hand blinked twice. "I think you're forgetting something… Did you remember where you put that picture?"
Mikan blinked thrice rapidly. "No… My memory gap is killing me." She stated.
"Idiot." She sighed. "You put the picture on you're red notebook, remember?"
Mikan nodded slowly as she kept in mind where she put the picture and what happened before she put that on her notebook. "I guess I remembered."
"So, where is you're notebook?" Hotaru asked.
"Oh, my notebook?" Mikan asked, unsure of what she heard. "Hyuuga borrowed it from me yester-" Mikan stopped on what she's going to say next. "DAMN how could I forget?" She scolded herself as she turned around in frustration. Her face became pale and sat down her chair helplessly. "The notebook…" She mumbled. "The picture…"
"NOOO!" She screamed on top of her lungs.
