I finally decided to write a new long fan fiction. I have abandoned quite a few of them due to me suffering from writers block. I am going to try not to abandon this one, I highly doubt I will, and if I do, then I will put it on hiatus until I have inspiration again!
My goal is 5 chapters. It might be less it might be more.
Also, this story takes place in a normal high school, there is nothing like Alices and magical powers.
This story is rated M mainly for adult themes (later on) and minor course language.
Disclaimer: I do not own Gakuen Alice, the plot and characters are all fictional made by me, if there is any mentioning of non-fictional people or any traces of someone else's plot then it is strictly coincidental!

Mikan sat down in the cafeteria and stared at the plate of food in front of her. A peanut butter sandwich with tomato sauce added, something that Mikan would always stuck her nose up to. She has been having strange eating habits lately.
Her friends, Hotaru, Anna, Sumire and Nonoko sat with her and stared at her sandwich in disbelief.
"Baka, what have you done to your sandwich?" Hotaru asked. Mikan shrugged. Sumire and Anna exchanged glances.
"I don't know, I just suddenly feel like mixing everything with tomato sauce or tomatoes!" Mikan exclaimed with dreamy eyes.
"Well, you better watch out, you might get sick" Hotaru said, ending the subject and she dug into her crab brains, something Mikan would never eat, she'd rather eat a peanut butter and tomato sandwich.
Which she in fact had for lunch, and it tasted great!
Well, Mikan was disturbed in her peaceful eating when Sumire started making gagging noises (since she doesn't like the looks of Mikan's sandwich). Anna ignored it, since she who loved cooking quite often made funny things too, and they did taste great a lot of times and Nonoko who was really good with Chemistry knew that peanut butter and tomato sauce together at least won't kill Mikan. So she ignored it as well.
Mikan finished her sandwich and sat back, only realizing that she was still hungry. She scanned the room with her eyes, everyone was enjoying their lunch hour, just sitting there and eating either their normal boring food or their salads so that they won't get fat (cheerleaders). Mikan spotted Ai, her other best friend at the food stand, getting her lunch ready. Mikan waved to her and Ai smiled, realizing what Mikan wanted so she picked up another peanut butter sandwich and got some other things and headed to the table.
Ai sat down next to Mikan and handed her the sandwich, an apple, tomato sauce and some green peppers. Mikan took them gratefully and squeezed the tomato sauce on the sandwich and added the green peppers.
"You're gonna kill yourself, Ai, don't feed her those things!" Sumire shrieked as she watched Mikan in horror as Mikan ate her sandwich. Ai shrugged.
"Everyone has eating habits, hers just seems to be, a bit extreme" Ai said with a smile and then she too, started to build her sandwich. Hers was apricot jam, but she added peanut butter and sugar.
"You'll get fat eating all that!" Sumire shrieked again at both Mikan and Ai. They shrugged.
"Say, have you guys seen Natsume?" Mikan suddenly asked, changing the subject. The other four girls exchanged glances and then shook their heads.
"He's been gone for a whole week now" Mikan said as she looked down at her hands, which were resting on her lap.
"Maybe, he's sick?" Sumire asked.
"I heard he transferred to another school" Ai suddenly burst the bubble. It was silent at the table and then Sumire shrieked.
"What, my Natsume-kun transferred? Where to?" Sumire yelled.
"His father lost his job, again, so they had to move" Ai said. Mikan bit her lip. He could have at least told her; then again, he didn't care about her, so of course he wouldn't tell her.
"It was all very sudden" Ai added in. Hotaru was amused by this news since now she has another reason to black mail her animal lover boyfriend, Ruka, Natsume's best friend. Hotaru smiled devilishly while the other girls stared at her in disbelief.
Lunch time was almost over and Mikan was in the bathroom, throwing up her entire lunch in the toilet. When she was done she walked out of the little booth and washed out her mouth. She stared at her reflection in the mirror. Why did Natsume transfer in the last year of school? Transferring when you are seventeen wasn't such a good idea.
Mikan splashed her face with cold water and then she left the bathroom and headed for her next class. There was defiantly something wrong with her. Her unusual eating habits and throwing up. If it gets worse by next week she is going to the doctor.
It was after school, Mikan was walking home alone since all the others were at their club activities. Sumire was the vice-captain under Ruka in the Animal Rescue Club. Nonoko was on the Chemistry club, Anna was in the Cooking Club and Hotaru was in the Technology Club. Mikan didn't join any club, instead she joined the student council but they didn't have a meeting today since the student council president was ill.
"I'm home" Mikan said lazily when she closed the door behind her. Mikan's mother, Yuka appeared from the living room.
"Welcome home, how was school?" Yuka asked. Mikan shrugged and then walked to her room and slammed the door.
"What's her problem?" Yuka asked herself as she stared at Mikan's door.
Mikan threw her bag in one corner and she pulled of her tie and threw it in another corner. She fell down on her bed and stared at the ceiling. Earlier she didn't cry, but now she could feel the tears flow down her cheeks. How could Natsume leave? Leave her here all alone?
Mikan rolled unto her side and crawled into a ball, hugging her pillow. She didn't know, all she could do now was cry. And that's all she did until she eventually cried herself to sleep.
When Mikan woke up it was already dark. She sat up and glanced at her alarm clock, 7 pm. It wasn't too late, at least. She stood up and got dressed into something else and then started on her homework. Jin-Jin gave her a ton of maths homework again.
After she finished her homework, Mikan heard her mother calling her to come eat dinner. They ate in silence, Mikan's face was still red and puffy from all the crying but Yuka didn't mention it.
After dinner, Mikan did the dishes and then she decided to take a shower. In the bathroom she shared with her mother, since it was a two bedroom apartment, she undressed and stared at her reflection in the large body length mirror. Mikan has grown a lot in the past few years.
Her brown hair was no longer in pig tails; it hung loosely down her back. It was much longer; it reached up until above her butt. Her hazel eyes were still huge and cute, but her face matured and she looked like an adult.
Her body had all the right curves and her chest went from nothing to a b-cup. Not as magnificent as Sumire and Hotaru (who were c and d cups) but she was happy with it. Even though Mikan had this one hell of a figure she kept it hidden. She always wore vintage clothes; she liked baggy blouses and long boring skirts. Unlike her super model friends, who loved wearing Gucci boots with Levis jeans and Chanel coats.
She got into the bathtub (since they only have a tub) and she relaxed. The only time she ever really relaxed was in the bath tub.
But her relaxing time was interrupted when she decided to squeeze her chest without thinking. Her eyes widened, they were swollen. Why were things so messed up? Her strange eating disorders, throwing up (especially in the morning) and swollen breasts? She got out of the tub and decided to go to bed; tomorrow she would surely feel much better.
Mikan woke up, feeling so light headed and dizzy it was almost like she had a hangover. She stood up and stumbled down. She sat up and realized that her mother has rushed into the room.
"I heard a thud, are you okay, sweetie?" Yuka asked as she crouched next to Mikan. Mikan could only see the walls in her room spinning, she shook her head.
"I'll call your teacher and say you're sick, don't go to school today!" Yuka ordered and then she left the room. Mikan got back unto her bed and fell asleep. She didn't feel any better at all, instead she fell worse….
Mikan woke up at 3 pm after she fell asleep that morning. Her room was really hot so she stood up and opened the window. She stood still for a minute but then ran to the bathroom to throw up. She washed her face and looked at herself in the mirror again. She didn't even eat anything and she threw up! Something was really wrong here, and Mikan was determined to find out what.
Yuka was shopping so Mikan got dressed and sneaked out of the apartment. She knew her mother would be upset if she found out that Mikan left during the day, after all she was sick and Yuka hated it when Mikan pushed herself too far, but Mikan had to get to the pharmacy.
At the pharmacy she looked for a female chemist. There was one standing at the prescription area so Mikan made her way over there.
"Hello, Miss, how can I help you?" the chemist asked with a large smile.
"Um, I have been feeling sick lately and I have no idea what's wrong." Mikan whispered as softly as she could, she didn't want anyone hear her since there might be someone she knows there, like Hotaru or Sumire. They always came here to get beauty products and condoms.
"Well, what are the symptoms? Why don't you see a doctor?" the chemist asked.
"Well, I don't have a lot of money and my mother will get worried so….yeah" Mikan explained. The chemist nodded and dragged Mikan to the back of the pharmacy.
"Symptoms?"
"My breasts swells, I eat a lot and my appetite is strange and I throw up a lot" Mikan replied to the chemist's question. The chemist's face went from a worried frown to a pleasant smile.
"When was the last time you had your menstrual cycle?" the chemist asked. Mikan blinked and started to remember the last time she had her period.
"About 16 days before the new school term, which was about 17 days ago…." Mikan trailed off at the end. Her period was late! Way too late!
"And how long ago have you been sexually active?" the chemist asked again. Mikan's stomach lurched. This couldn't be happening. No way…..couldn't she be.
She was pregnant!
Mikan stared at the chemist wide eyed and the chemist's smile vanished. The chemist dragged Mikan to a certain aisle and handed her a box from one of the shelves.
Mikan took the box and stared at it. The label repeating in her head. Pregnancy Test.
"This could be a false alarm, so please use this to makes sure." The chemist explained and smiled. Mikan nodded and handed the chemist the money and then she bolted out of the pharmacy and straight home. Please let the test be negative!
Mikan was sitting against the bath tub in the bathroom, waiting for the test results to show. Finally she picked it up and stared at the test in front of her. She dropped the test and fell back the way she was sitting and hugged her knees close to her chest and started rocking herself side-ways.
Yuka arrived home and noticed it was silent, Mikan's handbag was thrown unto the floor at the door and her shoes were lying in different spots. Yuka frowned, put down the shopping bags and searched for Mikan. She was not in her room so she was probably in the bathroom.
Yuka opened the bathroom door only to find Mikan lying on the rug fast asleep curled in a small ball. Yuka smiled gently and walked over to the basin to wash her hands when a certain object inside the basin caught her attention. She picked it up. It was a pregnancy test. And heck, two blue lines. Mikan was pregnant!
Yuka dropped the test and shook Mikan lightly.
"Sweetie, wake up!" she whispered as Mikan's eyes fluttered open.
"Mom?" Mikan muttered as she rubbed the sleep out of her eyes.
"You're pregnant?" Yuka echoed. Mikan's eyes widened, she didn't want her mother to have found out yet. Mikan nodded slowly and then burst into tears. Yuka hugged her daughter close.
"It's ok, sweetie, I'm here" Yuka said as she cradled her daughter. Mikan was going to be a mother! At such a young age too! Yuka regretted this, for she was young when Mikan was born too…..
Crap, who in the face of this world was the father?
