A/N: Hey everyone. Here's chapter 1. BTW! PLEASE DO MY POLL ON OUR PROFILE!
©h∂p†∑® 1
I couldn't believe it. Me, 15 year old Sakura Mikan has actually made it into the most prestigious school in Japan; Alice Private Academy. This was definitely a miracle. Although I did study like hell to get in but I still think that this is a dream.
Ever since my mum died 3 years ago, it changed my whole life. I had more responsibilities around the house since I'm the only female in the household, although my grandfather do help me sometimes.
My mother had a dream that she always wanted to fulfill. She never went to high school but she always dreamt of attending the most prestigious school in the whole of Japan: Alice Private Academy. She told me about how she wanted to become a ballet dancer and how the academy provided the best ballet teacher in Japan, but she gave up going to the school to marry my father who I knew nothing about. She didn't tell me about him either. I wasn't really much of a ballet dancer but I loved Taekwondo! I know since I'm Japanese and I should be doing Karate instead but I think I'll just stick to Taekwondo ever since I found out I can kick like hell. I won't tell you how I found out I could kick like that but it does involve a eight year old me and the school bully and me kicking the boy's....u know...He had to go to the nurse afterwards...^^
Anyway, to fulfill my mother's dream for her, I decided to enroll into the Academy which brings us back to me studying like hell. I took all sorts of part time jobs to earn the money that was needed to pay my fees and with a donation from my grandfather as well and boy, it took me 3 whole years to get the money. But now all my expenses were paid!
So now I'm standing outside the gigantic school gates with my school bag, my luggage-yes this is a boarding school-and a letter that read:
Dear Miss Sakura Mikan
I congratulate you on making into Alice Private Academy. I guarantee you that you will have a marvelous time here. Please stop by my office when you once you come to the academy. Please come the day before the school starts. I will give you your dorm key and your timetable.
Yours sincerely,
Yukihara Kazu
School Principal
I took a deep breath. Today is the day that I begin my promise! The security guard opened the door after looking at my uniform. I stepped inside an- HOLY CRAP! THE SCHOOL WAS FREAKIN' HUGE! Right in front of me was the a gigantic but elegant building. There was also a beautiful fountain with sparkling waters surrounded by rose bushes with different coloured roses. On the right side of the fountain there was a a pond with cherry blossom trees surrounding it. There were goldfishes and koi fishes. On the left side of the fountain was a well mown lawn with many picnic benches. There were a lots of maple trees which created shade for the picnic benches-I guess I know where to eat at lunch.
I made my way into the main building and began finding the principal's office. I guessed that his office was somewhere on the top floor since he was such an important person to the school. There was an elevator but I decided to take the stairs instead, although I still had my luggage. An early tour of the school. Plus I was terrified of elevators-what if it stops working? What if there's no service for my phone? What if nobody comes to find me?
I just finished climbing my first flight of stairs-I was still thinking about the terrors of elevators so I was pretty spaced out-when I bumped into something and I felt myself fall backwards. All that climbing for nothing! But instead of crashing onto the hard ground, I felt myself being pulled forward and into a chest. "You alright?" I looked up to see a boy who looked about a year or two older than me wearing a beanie, smiling down at me.
"I-I um, s-sorry" I stuttered. I couldn't help myself. I was always nervous around boys-making an exception for the boy who almost stole my stuffed bunny before he got kicked in a certain part of his body where it shouldn't be kicked. I wasn't nervous around him, I was furious at him-and this guy was quite cute. He even had a star tattoo under his left eye which made him look really cool!
"There's nothing to be sorry about. It was my fault for bumping into you. I was a bit spaced out" he said bringing his hand behind his head. What a coincident! I thought. I picked up my bags and thanked him for catching me.
"So, you're a new student here?" he asked. He said he had nothing better to do so he decided to show me to the principal's office.
"Yeah. My name is Sakura Mikan. I'm in Form 2" I introduced myself.
"Sakura Mikan, that's a cute name. I'm Andou Tsubasa. I'm 17-Form 4" he replied. Somehow this conversation was making me feel a lot comfortable around him. Tsubasa was really nice and toured me around the school before showing me to the principal's office.
When we arrived at the office door he waved to me before turning back. "If you have any troubles here at school you can always come to me and if you're uncomfortable talking to a guy then I'll introduce you to my friend. She's really friendly"
"How would I find you?" I asked him.
He smirked, "Ask around. I'm famous. See ya kouhai" Then he turned around and left. I felt really happy then and there. He called me kouhai! I had a senpai already and I haven't even started my first day yet!
I was very giddy when I knocked on the door. "Come in" said a deep, strong but at the same time kind voice. I stepped inside. "U-Um, is this the principal's office?" A dark blonde haired man walked behind from a large desk and came up to me. He looked fitting for the position of principal. He was tall, had a gentle smile and looked quite sturdy although he wasn't muscular.
He held out a hand, "Hello, I'm Yukihara Kazu the school principal. Nice to meet you" he said with a smile.
I completed dropped my bags that I was holding, "H-Hello! N-Nice t-to meet you t-too! My names S-Sakura Mikan!" I stuttered, again.
He chuckled, "There's no need to be nervous. I'm not a scary person. Come have a seat" He motioned me to sit down on the chair in front of his desk as he sat down himself. I steadily sat down and looked at my hands that were curled to fists on my lap.
"Like I said, there's no need to be nervous. You seem like you're here for a marriage interview"
I blushed and I was pretty sure I made a tomato look orange.
"Well anyway. Welcome to Alice Private Academy. I hope you enjoy your stay here" said Principal Yukihara.
"Thank you Principal Yukihara" I said. He is such a nice person.
"Just Yukihara-san is fine. It get's uncomfortable when it's too formal" Yukihara-san explained. I gave him a kick nod. He stared at me for a while and it seemed like something just clicked in his mind. It kinda made me feel uncomfortable.
"Say," he began "Why did you decide to come to this academy?" He asked. I told him the story about my mum passing away and how I wanted to fulfill her dream. He seemed very shocked at the news of my mother.
"So are you good at ballet?" he asked lifting one eyebrow.
I blushed a bit, "Well depends on what you think is good. I can do some twirls here and a spin there but I'm definitely an amateur"
Yukihara-san chuckled, "You're a funny little girl aren't you?"
"I just want to live a high school life for my mother" I explained "It was her dream to come to this school"
"I'm sure your mother would've wanted you to have an exciting high school life that you like" said Yukihara-san
I was now heading for the dorms. Yukihara-san had given me my time table and my dorm key and said I was welcome at his office anytime.
Flashback
"Here is your time table and dorm keys Mikan-chan. Oh! If you're worried about anything or want to just come and talk, my doors are always open" said Yukihara-san.
"Thank You so much!" I said with a bow. Just as I was about to leave Yukihara-san stopped me. "Ah wait Mikan-chan! I forgot to tell you. We had a slight shortage of rooms so we had to put you with a boy...Is it ok with you" said Yukihara-san. My eyes widened. A boy?! I have to share a room with a guy?! I wanted to shout but I couldn't do it to someone who has been so nice to me.
"It's ok. I'm used to living with a guy since it was just me and my grandfather after my mother died" I said with a smile while I was going berserk on the inside. Yukihara-san looked quite surprised at my answer. I guess he was expecting me to yell or something. Maybe I should've. Maybe he would've found someway if protested.
I sighed as I left the room.
End of Flashback
Well here it is: Room 203. I took a deep breath. I turned the doorknob and opened the door.
"Hi! My name is Sakura Mikan! I'm going to be sharing a room with you from today! Hope we can become good friends"
But instead of hearing another 'Hi! Nice to meet you!', I was greeted by a boy who had a towel wrapped around his bottom half and had hair dripping with water.
"Wha?!"
"Uh.......I'M SO SORRY!!!!!!!!!!!!" I shouted and I slammed the door shut.
I leaned on the door and started hyperventilating. Great job Mikan, what a great way to start your first day with your roommate! Argh! I'm so stupid?! Why didn't I knock?!
Dear Grandpa
I Sakura Mikan has just seen a boy half naked!
