I deleted my other story Finding Out The Truth because I thought it was stupid and went with this one instead. It's got more humor and is…more…uh…normal, then the other stuff I write, I altered personalities for this, I hope no one feels like they're favorite character was totally ruined by that, this is an AcexOC, and a bit of ShunxAlice. I don't know why I didn't put Baron in here…

Disclaimer: I do not own Bakugan, but stay away from my Mari!

-XxXxXxX- Mari's POV

I glanced around at the hustling students, here at the prestigious Crosse University half of the students were serious scholarship students who were planning on become very high end executives or something, while the other half was a stuck up, rich, snotty foundation of sluts, bitchs, drunken boys, and people who got they're moms and dads to pay they're way in. If you haven't noticed yet, I'm a scholarship student. And I'm the top of the entire campus, highest grades always; my average was 99% (My mark got dragged down by a 98 I got before), Mari Mizumi at your service.

"Mari!" A red head called at me. I looked over at Alice. She was practically my only friend here; everyone else was too stuck up to approach me. You see I'm different even by nerd standards. My long dirty blond hair reaches almost to my waist and covers most of my face, my eyes are a deep emerald, but because of my hair they look like green slits, my style is different too. I wear mostly things with wide sleeves, or short sleeves sports jackets, and jeans or if I'm going for the wide sleeves a pair of long yoga pants. Today it was sport jacket day. My attitude was a whole different thing I spoke things logically and cruelly, saying on the truth. (Honesty is the best policy right?) Everyone things I'm mean or something.

Alice is totally different from me; she has long red hair that wave away from her brown eyes that were alive with light. Her usual pastel colored skirts and blouses matched her light and happy attitude. She was not only rich, but also very smart; she was one of the few 3% of the school that was smart and rich. (Yes I actually calculated that)

"Alice…" I said managing a voice that wasn't mean.

"What's up with you? You look bummed…oh." She said realizing that I always looked like that. "Anyway I'm guessing you got another 100 on the test? Ma-"

I passed her my test, we were both doing psychology, but I was going to become a psychologist, when Alice was going to work as a guidance counselor, she still took the harder courses though. She normally used my tests as reference for her notes.

"Wait how does the brain react t-"

"The sudden shock makes your pupils dilate and makes an adrenaline gland rushes blood to circulate causing the person to regain they're senses slightly." I told her, I knew Alice well, but not as well as the black haired boy that approached us.

"Shun!" Alice called happily, Shun was Alice's boyfriend, had been since her first year in high school.

"Hi Alice, hi Mari." He said, I waved slightly.

Shun wasn't so bad, but he wasn't really my friend, our slight social occurrences to each other were always very brief, I had nothing against him, he was very calm, and logical, he was as like Alice smart and rich. But he used his smarts to get in; he usually placed around 10th place to 20th place in the testing. I was just glad Alice didn't fall for some moron who would treat her horribly.

"Using Mari's tests again?" Shun asked her.

She nodded.

"Mari's so nice…I don't know how she came put up with me!" Alice laughed happily.

"I ignore anything stupid you say, simple." I told her.

"Meanie!" She told me, I chuckled lightly.

"Anyway I'm here because Ace is planning another party, he would come to invite you himself, but decided to let me." Shun said and handed Alice a slip of paper.

Let me explain Ace Kaname is the school's party king almost, he has what are apparently the best parties in the school, and they say it's like a club, he only invites people that he likes and there's even security to make sure no one whose not on 'the list' gets in, he's also (apparently) the cutest guy in school. Shun was a personal friend of Ace and was one of only about 19 VIPS, it was like Ace's crew almost, Ace himself I'd meet only once, he wasn't too bad, and I didn't have anything against him like Shun, I've never bothered to look at his scores, but at least he was one of those womanizers most of the rich boys here were.

"Who said I couldn't deliver the invitation personally Shun?" a cocky voice asked, I looked straight forward brushing a bit of my hair out of the way to see.

Speak of the devil.

Ace had gray eyes that rippled out in a way id' never seen before, with slightly tussled pale blue hair he always seemed to be in his torn jeans and slightly baggy shirts.

"Speak of the devil…" Shun smirked. Shun and me did tend to think alike…strange.

"But then again Alice is always welcome at my parties, invitation or not, your are a VIP Shun." Ace told him.

"Why are you here then? Shouldn't you be running from fan girls?" Shun asked him.

"I got Dan to dress like me and die his hair for the day, I have some invitations to hand out." He told him.

"Moron, no other word describes him better." Shun said.

"He volunteered, said it was good training for track." Ace told him.

Dan was one of Ace's friend that he actually hung out with (The other 17 VIPS are just good friends) the trio was all but inseparable. Ace was by far the most energetic one of the three, I'd meet him, he was here on a scholarship for sports, I may not look or seem like it, but I was also a star at sports, I rated top in that too, but I never joined any teams no matter how much the coaches beg me.

"Why are you here then?" Shun asked him.

"I'm delivering invitations." He told him.

"I don't understand I already gave Alice her's." Shun told him.

"Not her! You always invite her, so I don't bother anymore. She's practically a VIP." Ace said. "Mari Mizumi, here."

I brushed more hair out of the way to look at what Ace held out to me. A small card…

"Your invited to the party, I hope to see you there." He told me.

"Why would I possibly waste my time on such a thing?" I asked him taking the invitation and looking at it.

"Mari…you need to loosen up!" Alice told me.

"And why would you invite me, most hated person on campus? I don't mean to be rude to you Kaname, but I would rather not waste my time." I told him.

"A. I find you very interesting. B. How is it a waste of time?" He asked me.

"Reaction to A. I am a character, so I understand that. B. I need to send a report back to my parents on that day." I told him. "I apologize for my rudeness. Your one of the very few people I can tolerate, so I don't want be rude."

"Case you change your mind, or if Alice can change your mind, keep the invitation." He told me.

"I can do that much." I said and slid it into my books. "Alice I'm off to our next class."

"Eh? Mari! Wait up!" Alice yelled, kissing Shun before running after me.

-XxXxXxX- Mari & Alice's Dorm

"Come on Mari, you practically never leave the dorm, why not go to Ace's party?" Alice asked me. "Your parents can live one week without a report!"

"I don't want to waste my time on those sort of things Alice, I'm sorry." I told her. "I want to make my life easier when I grow up, not become a drunken moron."

"Mari, your beyond perfect! What could one night do? Besides a part of life is also to relax when you need to, I've never seen you smile once." She told me.

"I know your right, but I don't mind at all Alice." I told her.

"Please Mari!" She told me.

I finished blow-drying my hair and walked to my bed, pulling out the book I was currently reading 'War and Peace'. I sighed at Alice; nothing would stop her once she had her mind set on making someone, of making herself do a certain thing,

"I don't want to Alice honestly, besides I bet no one wants me there." I sighed.

"Ace, the most popular boy on campus wants you there, no one going to complain!" Alice told me.

"If I go to this one party, do you promise not to make me go to any more?" I asked her, she was being beyond annoying right now, no matter if she was my best friend or not this was torture, even to a normal person with high tolerance, I was a weird person with a very low tolerance.

She nodded.

"I'll go, but I have nothing to wear but all my stuff." I told her.

"You can borrow a set of darker clothing that I have, it's a black skirt with red trim, and a long sleeves black t-shirt with red trim." She told me.

I sighed, as Alice spoke on and on about things, I was going to finish war and peace today too…but little did I know that after that very party, my life would become a large twist and twirl of, getting a boyfriend, roses hanging from my dorm door, confessions, a new style, and a kidnapping even…

So? What do you think? Mari's style is weirder then my before Maris, but Ace is going to change that very soon! Leave your thoughts please! Is it too OOC? Should I make Mari put up a little more of a fight against Alice sometimes? Should I introduce Runo as Dan's girlfriend? Maybe I could make Ace more of a punk then a guy who just does things because they're 'interesting' (ROFL I got the idea from Xerxes Break in Pandora Hearts, it's a manga you guys should read!) Please Review! I want to make my story better in anyway possible! That's why I want to get a beta reader! ROFL trying to become a beta reader too! Review and I'll make Ace/Mari love you forever! (No I don't have that power…yet)
