Disclaimer: I don't own Gakuen Alice.
The subject of this collection is Alice Academy, and I wish to have the liberty of exploring the possibilities presented by this particular setting. This being said, most chapters, if not all, will feature nameless characters. Each of them will have a different alice, and will be living in a period different from others. With this, I hope to show a comprehensive view of Alice Academy and the role it plays in the lives of its students and faculty.
Alice Academy: A Kaleidoscope
A collection of short stories ranging from humorous to tragic,
each taking place in or somehow related to Alice Academy.
Stars
She is not cynical, but certainly not romantic. She's just realistic, and the last thing she wants to believe is that the stars have something to do with her life.
"Idiots," she hisses under her breath, watching as the girls in her class fawn over the dozen bouquets of roses that have been sent to their homeroom one early morning in April. The colorful flowers are in full bloom, and the staggering number is enough to leave any girl blushing and out of breath.
Not me, she thinks, just as she sees the young man who sent them step inside the room. "You're still not forgiven," she snaps in a strong, stubborn voice.
The young man only smiles. "I love you, too," he says, and to her disgust it makes everyone in her class gush with excitement.
"I'll kill you later," she mutters, cheeks flaring deep crimson as she does. Before he can do anything to embarrass her further, she's already dragging him outside the classroom and lecturing him about his stupidity.
She is not cynical, but certainly not romantic. She's just realistic, and the last thing she wants to believe is that the stars have something to do with her life.
But maybe, just this one time, she'll thank her stars for giving her an alice and allowing her to meet her idiot.
