Hemophobia

Chapter 1

My friend (IRL) inspired me to write this so credit goes to her. I hope you enjoy it!

I DO NOT OWN GAKUEN ALICE

Summary: Hemophobia. An irrational fear of blood. She can't help it. She freaks out when she see's red or just hears the word "Blood." Very few know about her fear not even her parents know. Because after all, they're dead.

I looked at the blood dripping from my finger. Yes, it's only a papercut. Nothing to worry about, right?

Wrong.

I have Hemophobia. And irrational fear of blood. I hate red, especially crimson. It reminds me of the blood. Blood reminds me of my parents.

My parents are dead.

I looked away from my finger not bothering to treat it. It's wrong I know but how am I supposed to treat it when I can't even look at it?

I closed my book deciding I should watch TV to change my mind. I got the remote and switched the TV on.

"Please! Spare me! I don't want to die!" A girl who's severely wounded shouted to a man wearing all black.

Love. I don't hate it. But I don't believe in it.

Not anymore. When I was younger I always wanted a prince charming with blond hair and ocean blue eyes. He would love me unconditionally and we would be rich have twins a boy named Hiro and a girl named Hana plus two kids whatever gender and live near the beac- Oh wait I'm rambling again… Yes again, I like talking a lot. I don't like thinking it makes me remember things I don't want to remember. Actually, now that I think about it, I don't like a lot of things.

I used to get bullied when I was younger because of my phobia. So eventually, I never told anyone about it. Hotaru knows, she's my best friend though I didn't tell her she had to find out the hard way.

I live with my uncle and he's the only person other than Hotaru who knows about it. He decided that I would go to Gakuen Alice when summer ended since he's the principal. It would allow him to keep an eye on me in a case of any emergencies.

I got up from the love seat deciding to go to Starbucks. I got a few necessary things and my laptop to write. Yes, write. It's one of my hobbies. I like writing and reading fanfiction but also normal books like Cherub. Not a fan of love stories, though. I like more action, adventure, supernatural, comedy, family and anything that doesn't involve red liquid gushing out of someone because they died or got injured.

I wore a pair of ripped jeans and a black cold shoulder shirt. I checked myself once more in the mirror and grabbed a pair of shades before heading to my car.

I drove with the radio on the song 'Sorry' by Justin Bieber was being played. I hummed along as I drove to my destination.

For some reason, my hands are sweaty I had a bad feeling in my stomach as if something was going to happen.

I continued humming to the tune of the song to try and lighten up my mood but only to have my efforts put in vain.

As I reached the coffee shop I hoped out my car excited to get my morning coffee. I opened the double glass doors before putting my shades on my head and wait in line. The line was actually pretty long and the place isn't anywhere near empty

When it came to my turn I was greeted by a cheerful voice asking me:

"Hello, what could we get for you?" She has bubblegum pink hair and her nametag said "Anna".

"A coffee with a blueberry muffin." It's what I usually order, I ordered it the first time I went to Starbucks and just stuck with it.

"Anything else?" I shook my head indicating 'no'. She prepared my order and I waited patiently.

In a few minutes, she handed me my coffee and blueberry muffin. I sat down at a spot beside's the window.

"Are you sure you want to sit here?" She asked me.

"Yeah, why wouldn't I?" I asked

"That's Natsume's seat…" She looked nervous as if the slight mention of his name would bring chaos.

Is this Natsume guy really that intimidating?

"Who is he?"

"You're new, here, aren't you?" This is my first time in this area it's close to Alice Academy so I don't know much about the people here. But the fact that just because I don't know this Natsume dude can tell someone your new here is a bit creepy…

"Yeah."

"Well, you'll see he'll be here in about 5 minutes." And with that, she left.

I opened my laptop and started writing, no not a story but in my diary. I try writing about my fears and sometimes even blood. "I heard it helps if you write talk or look at your phobia."

When I heard a voice behind me reading I quickly shut my laptop out of instinct. I looked behind me to see that a guy with brown spiky hair and brown eyes was reading over my shoulder. He has this goofy smile and I can't help but glare at him.

"What do you think you're doing?"

"Reading."

"Haven't you heard of 'Privacy'?"

"Sorry but this is our table so we have the right to know what you're writing about." His goofy smile didn't falter and it just made me want to whip it off his face.

I looked behind him to see a blond guy with blue eyes. He literally looks like prince charming. I kept staring at his ocean colored orbs until someone coughed getting my attention.

"Didn't you know that staring is rude?" As soon as I heard this voice the bad feeling in my stomach turned up a notch. I hesitantly looked at the owner of the husky voice to find myself staring at the color I dreaded. It's only a color, right? Nothing's wrong with it. Oh, wait, it's red. Crimson red.

Just like blood.

I gulped and looked away from the handsome but now terrifying guy. I caught a glimpse of silky raven hair but didn't look twice in the fear of having to look at those eyes again.

"For your information, I wasn't staring! Why would I?"

"Because you think we're hot? Can't blame you every girl does."

"Shut up you conceited jerk." I guess this guy is Natsume since when Anna saw me she had a terrified look in her eyes.

"We'll that's a first. But sadly, people don't tell me what to do." He retorted.

"You're annoying." Oh God, what did I do to deserve this? I just wanted to have a nice and calm day.

"But hot."

"Not."

"If I'm not hot then why won't you look at me? Afraid to stare for too long?"

"No. Your face is just too ugly to look at."

I got up heading to the exit. Who knows what would happen if I accidently look at his eyes? Besides who has red eyes? Those are super rare though I admit he's attractive I wouldn't dare give him the satisfaction of knowing it.

Before I could walk out the Anna girl ran up to me.

"Sorry about that Mikan-chan… Natsume can be a good guy you just have to give him a chance."

"It's not like I would see him again." I shrugged.

"Aren't you going to Gakuen Alice?"

"Yeah, why and how do you know?" When I asked, her face lit up and she gave me a smile.

"I got there to my friends go as well, and so does Natsume and his gang. Also, you have to be a student to be able to central town though I've seen you a few times before I never saw you at the academy…"

"I'm going this year."

"Really! What class are you in?"

"Uh, 2B."

"Cool! Hotaru, Sumire, Natsume, Koko, and Ruka are in that class!" My face lit up for a second when I heard her say Hotaru's name. It's been 3 years since I last saw her. But it couldn't be the same Hotaru, could it?

"I have to go but I'll come back another time," I said smiling.

"Alright, see you Mikan-chan! Next time I'll show you Sumire and the rest of the workers."

I nodded before leaving. Anna sure seems like a cheerful girl I wonder if she has a boyfriend? She's pretty that's for sure. Maybe I'll get to see Hotaru there! It's been so long and I want to hug her… Though she always hits me with that stupid gun of hers…

I got in my car before making sure I didn't forget anything. On the ride back home I didn't have the weird feeling in my stomach anymore but I did have a smile on my face. 'I made friends!'

I'm usually a shy person but cover it with an act. I don't like showing weakness and so people think I'm too "Cool" to be friends with them. But honestly, I'm just lonely.

Maybe Gakuen Alice wouldn't be so bad after all? Then an Image of crimson eyes appeared in my mind.

Or maybe it would…

Yes, I know I started a new story but I can't help myself though I plan on finishing True Love soon maybe 5 or so more chaps? I hope you like this story if yes please review, fav and follow!
