Me: So I'm writing this while watching The Creatures 24 hour live stream… If you know what I'm talking about you're amazing. Anyhoodles, here's chapter two. I don't own Gakuen Alice, blah blah blah, just get on with the chapter…

Back then life was sweet. We were oblivious to the world and its problems. To us, life was studying, eating, sleeping, and playing. I want to go back…

We're seven now, hanging around my room doing our homework together like everyday. He's sitting in my pale green bean bag chair, me on the green and brown covers of my bed. It was just another ordinary school night. Any minute now and Natsume's father would be here to pick him up on his way home from work.

"Hey, Sume-Kun… Can I tell you something? Something you can't tell anyone…"

"Sure." I sat upright and looked straight into his crimson orbs, searching for some sort of faux in his honesty. I found none.

"I… I think I'm a psychic, or maybe even a witch," I kept a serious face, showing him I was joking.

"And why would that be?" He replied, his expression staying as it always was.

"Well… Remember yesterday, how momma said I couldn't have to cookie but gave it to me anyway?"

"Yeah, that was weird… why?"

"Well, I stared straight into her eyes and thought, 'Just give me the cookie!' And she did… I was wondering if I did that…" I looked down, my hands fiddling with the hem of my shirt.

"I think you're being ridiculous," Was his dead panned answer.

"Fine then, let me prove it to you!" I locked eyes with him, focusing on one thought like I had the day before. Smack yourself in the face. I continued to repeat this in my head.

Sure enough, his hand rose and gave him a good lash to his cheek.

"Wh-What? I didn't do that!" His face changed from bored to bewilder.

"See! See! What did I tell you?" I proclaimed, waving my hands in the air like a complete fool.

"That's amazing…" He stared at his hand for a good while, scrunching his fingers a few times as if to check if he had control over it. "Could… Could you not use that power on me anymore? That was creepy…"

"Promise!"

.oOo. End of Flashback .oOo.

I snickered at my silliness. I wish it was some sort of super power, or that I was a psychic. Anything but an Alice. The way that girl explained how that school worked… I'm scared and worried. She told me how Natsume constantly tried to escape and was always punished for it. How they used the dangerous class to their advantage… Well, more like I made her tell me everything she knew about the school.

If it weren't for that Hotoru girl, I wouldn't be on my way to Alice Academy now. I'm going to break him out of there, whether they like it or not.

I'm surprised he hasn't been able to leave. His Alice… It's a scary and powerful one... How he couldn't use it to just burn down that place and run off is beyond me…

.oOo. Flashback! .oOo.

This memory, it's only a week after the last I shared.

We were in my room again, the same positions. But this time we were completely silent. Of course, we never minded. He was reading and I was on my laptop. We liked the quiet. It wasn't awkward at all, it was actually quite comfortable.

But he broke the silence, "Hey, Ayako, want to see something cool?"

I turned my head towards him, giving him a curious stare and replying, "Yeah sure."

"Don't tell anyone."

"Promise!"

He lifted his hand up and kept a steady gaze with it. I stared at it, too. Wondering what was happening.

Suddenly, a bright flame appeared right above his hand. But it wasn't like any ordinary fire. This flame looked fake, with orange surrounding a yellow.

I gasped, my hands clapping over my mouth in shock.

"So, we're both witches, I suppose," He said as the flame disappeared.

"Ye-Yeah… I guess…"

.oOo. Still in a flashback :p .oOo.

Let's skip ahead a few days. That one night, the time everything changed for the both of us.

I was asleep, like any other night at one o'clock. But my peaceful slumber was interrupted by a high pitched beeping. I awoke sitting upright, the sound giving me a headache.

What is that noise? I sleepily asked myself. But then common sense kicked me in the ass.

That's the fire alarm.

Me: DUN. DUN. DUUUUN!

Kyoya: Another cliff hanger?

Me: Why yes of course. Shit's about to get intense! Review and maybe I'll start working on the next chapter today o.O Who knows?
