Once Upon an Alice
Hello everyone! This is my first fanfic. Noticeable, I know… I write like such an amateur… ^_^ But I really love Gakuen Alice, especially its characters.
Hope you like my story!
Alice Academy
It was a peaceful day. The students of Class B in the Elementary School Division were having Math class with their teacher, Jinno-sensei. Almost all of the students were just fighting back drowsiness. Sakura Mikan, however, was bored to death and could not control herself anymore.
Mikan's POV
I yawned… for the fifth time today.
Sigh…
Sometimes, classes with Jinno-sensei are really boring.
Just like today.
Sigh… I'm so sleepy…
"Sakura-san!"
My eyes flew open upon hearing my name. I guess I fell asleep without realizing it.
"You're always dozing off!"
I looked around, trying to find out who was calling my name. Then it dawned on me: Jinno-sensei!
I stood up, nervously peering at our very strict teacher's stern face.
"Sensei… I didn't mean to fall asleep in your class…" I whispered nervously. Jinno-sensei never fails to terrify me when he's mad.
"Sakura-san, you never listen to the lesson! That's why you never pass at any test!" Jinno-sensei scolded.
I glanced around, peeking at my classmates. Natsume was as cool as ever, although he was sitting straight up that time. He was staring at me so keenly that I felt my face turn red.
This is so embarrassing.
Wait! Am I embarrassed? Why will I be embarrassed in front of that jerk?
"She deserves to be scolded anyway…" I heard one of my classmates, Sumire, a.k.a. Permy, say. Sumire is not really that… mean. She's just a fan of Natsume and Ruka-pyon, that's all. And she doesn't really like me, often insulting and belittling me in front of others.
…
I… guess she is a bit… mean.
I merely pouted. I can't blame her anyway. I did sleep in class. For a moment, I forgot about Jinno-sensei. I was happily reminiscing my first year in the Academy (as a worthless no-star) when he suddenly spoke to me.
"Sakura-san." he said in a threatening voice. "If you don't fix your act your rank might be lowered to a no-star again."
I turned pale at his words.
No-Star? Again? Noooo!
"But sensei, I promise… I'll be good!" I pleaded with him.
Jinno-sensei scoffed. "No use for excuses, Sakura-san. Sit down now."
I sat down quietly.
"Class dismissed."
I went home with Hotaru and Inchou again, as always. I was still feeling a little down, since Jinno-sensei's words affected me much more than I thought.
What if he really lowers my rank? What would my best friend, Hotaru think of me?
I glanced at Natsume who was walking a few feet behind me with Ruka.
What would he think of me?
It took me a few seconds before I realized what I had just thought.
What am I thinking?
Mikan sadly thought of all the embarrassment she would have to face if her rank was lowered to a no-star again. She was never like that before, just a happy-go-lucky girl who always thought of everything positively. Even if she would not admit it to herself, Jinno-sensei's words had hit her much more than she expected.
Was she really worried about what other people would say? Or was she worried of what Natsume would think of her?
To Be Continued…
Reviews please? And please don't be too hard me. This is my first fanfic. ^_^ I would also like some criticisms. To get better I need to know my faults too. Of course any advice for improvement will do. And does anyone here have ideas for the storyline? Pretty please? Hahaha.
(Though I totally have this feeling that no one's gonna like this. Let's just see. Hahaha. ^_^)
