Breaking The Ice
A Special A fanfiction
By: Alexandrya Hale
Summary:
Hanazono Hikari, the new student in Hakusenkan, is rumored to be so cold because she has experienced in her first day in class, she is already well known for the fact that she has claimed the 2nd place in the Special A list. She is cold to every single person, except for her childhood friends, Toudou Akira, Karino Tadashi, Megumi and Jun Yamamoto, and Tsuji is, until, she meets Takishima Kei, who causes her name to be all over the newspaper the next day! What happened?
Walking down the street wearing the cute uniform of S.A. with a pink checkered scarf around her neck, Hanazono Hikari is certainly one bad-ass girl you do not want to mess with. She has this cute exterior: waist-length navy blue hair, midnight blue eyes, slim body, long legs, well-toned skin, high cheekbones; everything about her is cute. But she has this I-am-the-devil-in-disguise attitude that makes you want to stay away from her. And if I were you, I would, because she's as cold as ice.
As she walks down the street, her bag hanging loosely on her shoulder, she suddenly spies the huge gate of Hakusenka. She walks there casually, even if thousands of pairs of eyes were on her. She didn't care. She wouldn't even care if everyone died in this world. That's how cold she is. She didn't even bother when she started hearing gossips everywhere she passed.
"Is that her? That Hanazono Hikari?"
"Omigod! It's a member of the S.A.!"
"I love their uniform! It's just so cute!"
"Are you sure that's her? She's cute."
"No. Correction, man. She's smoking hot!"
"So she's the one that claimed 2nd place? Right after Takishima-sama?"
At that, she stopped.
Takishima. As in Takishima Kei? That can't be! He's in London! She thought. Nah! Maybe it's another Takishima.
So she continued walking to the greenhouse for the S.A. She has never seen or heard about the number 1 student in Hakusenka, except for the fact that he was a guy and that he was hot. As in Oh-my-god-I-think-the-sun-just-got-nearer hot.
Anyway, as she was walking down the tiny road leading to the greenhouse, she spotted a huge group of swooning, squealing, jumping, and fainting girls, but she didn't even bother to stop by to see what was happening. She just kept walking. Finally, she arrived at the greenhouse.
She opened the doors and walked calmly to the tables and chairs on the platform. As she walked, she spotted Ryuu, Jun, and Megumi all playing checkers in a corner, Tadashi munching on a few cookies Akira made for him on his couch, and Akira slicing a cake into 7 slices. She settled in her couch and placed her bag on the table. There, she took out her pocket book and started reading. In a few minutes, she was too engrossed with her book that she didn't even notice a person sit on the couch beside her until Akira, finished slicing her cake, called out to everyone to gather and start eating.
Akira gave her a piece of cake and she started eating it without removing her eyes from the book. Then a conversation started while she read her book.
"I think I love this cake more than you, Akira!" Tadashi said, which was followed by a loud clang of a frying pan. She hit him with it. And Hikari could hear him whimpering in the reverie.
"Then maybe I shouldn't make it again." Akira said, leaning back into her chair.
"And they fight again…" Hikari heard Jun say with a sigh.
"I'm getting used to it." Ryuu said, sounding amused. Then he looked at Hikari. "Hikari, don't you think you should stop reading that first and eat your cake with your eyes on it?"
Hikari didn't answer. She just kept reading.
Hell to what they think. She thought, rolling her eyes.
"Hikari, please. I really wanted you to taste it." Akira said, but Hikari still ignored her, even if she is one of her childhood friends.
"Well, I guess she's still the same. Same old stubborn Hikari." A voice said, but that's what got Hikari's attention. She lowered her book and turned to the direction of the voice. She knew that voice. It was the voice of the one she once and is striving to beat.
She lifted her head to see brown orbs staring down at her. She felt her jaw go numb.
"Hello, Miss Rank two." He said, with an amused smile.
"Hell no." She said, jumping of from her seat. No, no, no, no, no.
"What's wrong?" He asked, with that stupid smile of his still plastered in his face.
"Hell No!" She shouted, walking away and pacing back and forth, covering her face. After a few minutes, she took her hands away from her face, and looked him in the eyes.
"You're not supposed to be here! You're supposed to be in London! What in God's name are you doing here?" She shouted in a single breath. She can't believe her eyes.
"I wanted to come back home. Is there a problem with that?" He asked, looking at her with that I-know-something-you-don't-know smile.
"Yes! It's because you left me right after…" She trailed off, leaving the sentence hanging. They all looked at her with worried eyes, except for Takishima, who just looked at her calmly with those brown orbs, and Tadashi, who didn't understand what they were talking about.
"Because what, Hikari?" Asked Tadashi with a worried look. She cared for everyone here, just didn't know how to show it. But they all knew, so she was good.
"Why don't you ask that monster yourself." She said as she stuffed her book in her bag, slung her bag over her shoulder, and stalked out of the greenhouse, her piece of cake still unfinished. As she was walking away, she muttered German, Greek, French, Spanish, Japanese, Swedish, and Korean about how pissed she was and that she hated him. Fortunately for her, all of them didn't understand. On the bad side, Takishima did. And he was smirking.
"Er ist so ein Arschloch! Ποιος νομίζει ότι είναι? Dieu, je suis énervé. Tengo que calmarme. 彼はばかだ。Jag känner att jag skulle kunna döda honom nu. 난 그 자식이 싫어. 난 내 도서에 대한 맹세 해요. 나는 그를 용서하지 않을거야."
"Yeah, I know." He said, loud enough for her to hear, even though she was already at the door. She just looked at him, and slammed it in his face.
As soon as she was gone, all their gazes landed on Kei. Ryuu's, Jun's, and Megumi's with concern for Hikari, Tadashi's with confusion, and Akira's with rage. She pointed her bread knife to Kei.
"Takishima Kei, what in God's name did you do on your vacation with her in Hawaii to make her this mad? I thought it was just because she missed you, not because she was mad at you." Akira asked, her anger expressed in every word.
"Nothing, really. We just swam, drank pina colladas, kissed -,"
"You kissed her? And you just left for London without saying a word to her after you left her a ticket to Japan?" Akira nearly shouted, charging towards him. Luckily for him, Tadashi was holding her back by the waist.
"Well, no wonder she's mad at you. It looks like she could kill you without hesitation." Jun said, putting the pieces together like a puzzle.
"Yeah, because to girls, that's like being dumped. And what's worse was you guys were supposed to be on your vacation, together, and yet you just left her without an explanation. Yahiro just let her stay in his house in Hawaii when you weren't there because she was going lonely with the 1 week you gave her ALONE, IN YOUR SUITE." Megumi said. Ever since Yahiro helped her in London, she was finally able to speak, without the sketchpad.
"Yahiro?" Kei asked. He hated that guy's guts, even though he helped him and Hikari to be together before.
His tone made Megumi raise an eyebrow. She placed her hands on her waist. In girl body language, this means whoever pissed her off would be in trouble. But Kei just stood there, untouched.
"Yeah, Yahiro, and what if it was Yahiro that let her stay in his house? At least it wasn't him that left her in Hawaii for 1 week so she could explore Hawaii by herself, well in fact, she wanted to spend it with you. So don't you dare go on about my boyfriend and how you hate his guts when it was your fault that she's like this now." Megumi said.
Everyone looked at her as if they didn't know her, and in this case, they didn't. They didn't know Megumi had this side of her at all, behind that cute face and all. Even Ryuu and Jun, who had their jaws dropped, probably thinking 'who is this Megumi look-alike?'
Kei, on the other hand, just lowered his head, finally understanding why Hikari was always ignoring his calls and texts. It was because of his stupid choice to join that stupid meeting with his father in the middle of their vacation. He clenched his fists. Everyone noticed this, including Megumi, who finally calmed down.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Go look for her and apologize." Akira said. Kei looked up, and smiled. He nodded, and with that, he ran out of the greenhouse. Then a voice spoke up.
"When did all of you guys know all this? I haven't even heard it until today." Tadashi asked, looking at all them with confusion.
Everyone looked at him and sighed.
"I guess she doesn't trust you that much with that big mouth of yours." Ryuu said, which earned him a glare for Tadashi.
_~Breaking the Ice~_
Kei spotted her sitting on the fountain railing. She was reading her book, yet muttering things that couldn't be heard. He approached her. When he was a few meters away from her, she looked up to see the eyes of the one she used to love staring down at her.
"What are you doing here? Get out." Hikari said, stuffing her book in her bag once again.
"Look, just listen to me-," But he couldn't continue because she had gotten up to leave, but he pulled on her wrist with what he thought was the correct amount of force.
My guess: He miscalculated.
Because he ended up letting her fly over the railing and into the water with a loud….
SPLASH!
She had to take a moment to take in what was happening because to her, it all happened so fast. His coming, her yelling, his pissing her off, her stalking away, his coming to talk to her, and her falling into the fountain.
'Great! Now you've done it Takishima!' He thought, bracing himself for the worst, which is either her pouncing on him, or…
"TAKISHIMA!"
That.
'You're screwed, Takishima Kei. Prepare for the worst.'

Hey guys!
So this is my first S.A. fanfic, and my first non-gakuen alice fanfic. I'm so happy! I'm sorry if you think the characters are kind of OC. I just got bored with some of their real attitudes, so I made a little twist. I like the attitude I gave Megumi in this story. And Kei actually lowered his pride at some part in the chapter, but I promise in the next chapters, I will put his pride back.
I hoped you enjoy this chapter!
Lots of Love,
Alexandrya Hale
