A/N: Cool! I made it this far! Yey me! Sorry. I'm a person that's easily overjoyed. Please carry on.
***Chapter 2***
***Mikan's POV***
It's that day of the week when we went to our respective Alice Class. There are 5 types or Alices. Yuu, the Class Rep, is in the Latent class his Alice being Illusion. Ruka is in the Somatic Class, his Alice being Animal Pheromone. Hotaru is in the Technology Class because her Alice is Invention. I'm in the Special Ability Class. I told you earlier. My Alice is Nullification. It cancels out any Alices near me or trying to attack me. That's 4. The 5th is the Dangerous Ability Class. Natsume's here. His Alice is Fire.
I myself am going to my class. I seem to be lost. It's typical for a person with no sense of direction. I stood underneath a Sakura tree. I sat down. Somebody jumped down the tree. What? I turned around and guess who I saw?
Natsume Hyuuga.
Damn. He was wearing that smile again. Perhaps I should call it a smirk. He looked so smug. He was so hands---
"Falling for me, Polka?" He smirked.
"You Pervert!!! You egotistical fox!!!" I was pissed. I swear a nerve popped in my head.
"Hn. Whatever." He stiffened. He walked away. "See ya later, Polka."
"I have a name you know!" I said in a huff.
"You know, you're late for class." the a new voice came from behind me.
I looked behind me, my heart hammering. There stood a high school student. He had spiky dark blue hair and dark blue eyes. A star tattoo rested underneath one eye. All in all, he's cute.
"I'm Tsubasa Andou. Your senpai. You must be Hyuuga's partner. Mikan Sakura right? So you're Special Ability class' new member?" he said with a small smile. A smile I trusted completely.
"Yes. Tsubasa-senpai, do you know the way to the Special Ability Class? I seem to be lost."
"I'll do better than direct you. I can take you there. I'm that class' representative. I know, unbelievable!" senpai said jokingly.
We reached a door. Senpai opened it for me and introduced me to everyone. I met Misaki-sempai, a pink-haired girl who has the Doppelganger Alice. It turns out that Tsubasa-senpai's Alice is Shadow Manipulation. Cool.
"Everybody seems so close here." I noticed.
"That's because the number of students here at SA Class is low compared to other classes." answered Tsubasa-senpai.
"Oh really? What about the Dangerous Ability Class? Isn't their number lesser, too?"
"Yes, but it's rumoured that the DA kids don't really have classes like we do. It's said that they are forced to do missions outside the school. Don't worry; I'm sure that it's not true…" Tsubasa-senpai must have read the worry in my face. After all, Natsume was in the Dangerous Ability class.
The whole SA Class made me forget about that conversation immediately. I willingly did too. I pushed that thought to the recesses of my mind.
We had fun the whole period long until the bell rang signalling the end of classes.
***Days Later***
***Normal POV***
"Good morning, everyone!" greeted Mikan. She proceeded to her desk beside Natsume.
Mikan's group of friends approached the Nullifier. "Mikan-chan, are you going to the summer festival? Everyone's going. It's really nice there. There are rides, stores, stalls,… Uhhmmm…" said Nonoko couldn't think of other examples.
Hotaru cut in—"There's Howalon, too…" with an evil glint in her eye. Hotaru already knows Mikan's weaknesses.
"OOHH!! Howalon??!! I'm in!!!" cried an overexcited Mikan. "When does it start?"
"Next week." Informed Yuu.
The classroom's door opened and Jinno-sensei came in. "Alright, everyone, go back to your seats. We'll start class now."
Jin-Jin was talking about something boring. Mostly about the Spaniards attacking and oppressing the Filipinos. Nobody listened to him.
Koko, who has the Mind-Reading Alice, had his fun reading his classmate's minds.
Nonoko: The new batch won't be coming until next month. I might have to create it then. A dash of leech juice, a pinch of garlic…uhmmm… I have to buy rat's splee---
Koko stopped listening to Nonoko.
Kitsu: The old haunted wing is teeming with ghosts. I saw one yesterday. I was flying over when I noticed a bloody---
Koko stopped listening to Kitsu.
Ruka: March 16, 1521 Magellan arrived at---
It was too boring. Was that even Ruka?
Hotaru: Oi, Yome, stop reading my mind. If you don't I'll be forced to---
Koko didn't bother to finish listening to Hotaru's threat. He knew Hotaru enough. Everybody's minds were safe for another day.
Meanwhile, a certain brunette was oblivious to the world. Her thoughts were elsewhere.
Mikan sat there, daydreaming about Howalon.
Howalon… Howalon… Howalon… hehehehe… Howalon… Howalon… Howalon…Sweet sweet Howalon…
"Oi, Polka." Guess who. Natsume snapped her out of her reverie.
"Yes, Natsume?" replied Mikan with a forced smile… She was irritated…
"Stop drooling… It makes me embarrassed to sit next to you… I was thinking, why do you always wear children's underwear? Polka suits you better than strawberries," the raven haired boy smirked.
A nerve popped on Mikan head. She realized what he meant. "NATSUME!!!" she yelled.
"What is that about Sakura? Detention with Hyuuga! Get out NOW!" hollered a grim Jin-Jin. Hn, didn't even listen to an excuse… :
"But—"retorted a distraught Mikan.
"NO BUTS! You will stay with Hyuuga in the whole of the Alice Festival! That will serve as your punishment for being so rude and loud in class! Now GET OUT!!!"
"Come on, Polka." Natsume took Mikan's hand much too every fan girls dismay and led her out of the room.
(A/N: Yeah, I know, I'm jealous, too. Wait, that's not what you mean? OMG! I'm so dead..—blushes deeply--)
They stopped underneath the Sakura tree. It's Natsume's favourite spot. It's quiet there.
Mikan let go of the flame caster's hand. Surprisingly, she didn't give much of a fight. Heck, she didn't give a fight at all. Natsume thought this was odd.
Natsume laid back and tried to take a nap. Silence enveloped both of them. Natsume was shocked. He didn't show it of course. Just internally. It's really rare that the brunette would fall silent, you know. She's always loud during class time and gives Natsume a headache. Her high-pitched voice makes him feel like his ears are going to bleed. But now, the noisy girl was silent.
Perhaps it was just his hallucination? Nah.
Mikan was silent. For Natsume, it was a miracle and a mystery. He sat up and turned to face---
A BLUSHING MIKAN???
What in the world?

A/N: Please forgive me. I know most readers HATE cliffies but I personally think cliffs give a thrill to the story.
Fine. I won't keep you hanging forever. I just hope there a people in the world who will notice this humble story of mine. Please review. If not for me then for your conscience. Thanks a ton!!!
