Poison-chan says: I'm really trying hard to improve the story… Ahahaha… I really hate myself for being lazy all the time… Well… I did change some of the events… this will surely change the future chapters. And also, I'm really sorry for deleting the old one…

Chapter 2- The Water Alice
"Have you heard about the new students coming to our class?" Sumire said excitedly.
"Yah! Many of our classmates saw them already." Yuu answered. "I also saw them when I went to the canteen. It's a girl and a boy."
"How do they look like?" Anna asked.
"The guy looks very cool and friendly, but he has the same cold eyes like Natsume." Yuu thought.
"What about the girl?"
"The girl? I don't think she's a friendly type of person but she looks pretty. She has a long straight blonde hair and brown eyes just like Mikan."
"Huh? Mikan? Don't compare her to that idiot. " (Sumire imagining Mikan and the girl describe by Yuu)
"When I greet her at the canteen, she didn't smile or even look at me. She's kinda loner." Yuu said sadly... but I think I know her...
"Don't mind her! I'm more curious of the guy! What do you think is his Alice?"
"…"
"Oh my gosh! I can't wait to see them!"

"Hey, are you ok?" Tsuyoshi sat back next to girl he's worrying at.
"It's nothing." The girl said with boring auburn eyes.
"Cheer up Mikan! You should happy that your back here. You've been away for a year. Aren't you excited?" He placed himself in front of her face.
Mikan slowly raise her face and look at the noisy Tsuyoshi, smiling at her stupidly, with an unexciting face. "Do I look excited to you?"
"Erhm… no…" He draws back a little giving her an 'I give up' expression. He just ignores Sakura, who bend over her head, and enjoys the scenery from the window.
"Hi!" A familiar voice. Mikan tilt her head slowly up again and found her two former called friends.
"Ruka... Natsume…"
"Yo" Natsume said with the same cold look.
Note: I got this 'Yo' thingy from Hana Yori Dango and some anime. Short greeting.
"Glad to see you again." Ruka smiled at her but Mikan didn't even react on it.
"So… How are you?" Ruka just ignore Mikan's emotionless answer.
"…" Mikan force herself to smile at him. "I'm fine."
"You've changed a lot Mikan." Ruka said. "You don't wear ribbons anymore. Your hair is much longer than before. You look beautiful."
Yeah… She really is… Natsume whispered.
"Did you say something, Natsume?" Both Mikan and Ruka focus on him.
"I… I said, she doesn't look like an idiot anymore." He lied.
"Ahem! Aren't you going to introduce me to them Mikan?" Tsuyoshi interrupt.
"Oh, Tsuyoshi, this is Ruka and Natsume… And this is Tsuyoshi Nakashima. He's a friend of mine."
Tsuyoshi grab Ruka and Natsume's hands really fast that they weren't able to say anything. "It's nice to meet you. I'm Tsuyoshi Nakashima. I'm Mikan's best friend."
Best friend…? Both of them whispered quizzically.
"Ahh… Same to you." Ruka gave a simple smile.
"..." Natsume quickly let go. Tsuyoshi just smile back. Heh... He's damn cold. I hate him.
KRING!!
"Oh, it's time. Mikan we should get to our room now."
Mikan just nodded then follows Tsuyoshi without even saying 'goodbye' to them. She simply passes by Natsume and Ruka.
"See you later guys!" Tsuyoshi said waving his hands back to where Natsume and Ruka are.
What's her problem? She didn't smile like the way she use to … Ow! She did smile… but… obviously… its fake!
"Natsume" Ruka disrupt.
"Huh?"
"I think we should go now too."
"Ok." Forget about it. I'll find it out soon anyway… The most important thing is that she's back.

"Good morning class!" Narumi-sensei greets the class as always.
"We have two new fine looking students. Come in now."
Tsuyoshi and Mikan enter the room. I don't really want to detailed it much. Sorry for that.
"Ok class. Meet Tsuyoshi Nakashima and Mikan Sakura."
"Mikan?"
"Sakura?"
"For real?" Hotaru said unexpectedly.
"Well, you already know Mikan because she's already been in Alice Academy about a year ago so you should just ask Tsuyoshi some questions. If you have one..."
"What's your Alice? Can you show it to us?" a girl sitting right next to Hotaru asked.
"My Alice? Oh… hmm… ok… I'll show you." Tsuyoshi slowly lift up his hands and concentrate. Silence prevails among all the students. Out of nothing, water form in his hands like a small orb.
"…Water…" Hotaru broke the stillness.
"Yup! My Alice is water. I can do anything that has something to do with water." Tsuyoshi said turning his attention to Natsume who is sitting at the back of the classroom. He smile devilishly for a moment and quickly change it to a smile so no one could notice. Natsume, who is still looking coldly to him, grab his book and start reading it ignoring the two. Unknowingly, Hotaru also saw the stare he made to Natsume. Looks like that idiot went back with a dangerous friend…
"Ok class. You'll just continue your question after the class." Narumi-sensei ended.
"You may now take your sit. Tsuyoshi, you could sit beside Mikan at the fourth row."
"Thank you Narumi-sensei." Tsuyoshi and Mikan said and they went to their sits.
"Before we start, Natsume and Hotaru… stand up please."
Natsume and Hotaru stood up asking nothing.
"You're the only two students in this class who don't have partners. I'll assign you then."
"Hotaru, your partner will be Tsuyoshi and Natsume… since Mikan was you former partner, could you be her partner again?"
"Whatever." He said and takes sit right away. Hotaru take a simple glance to her partner before she sits.
"Ok. Now that everything is fine, let's start…"

End of class.
Mikan, grab her things and went out ignoring Tsuyoshi who is busy talking to his new friends.
"Mikan! Wait!" Tsuyoshi quickly grab his bag and followed Mikan who is already out of the room. He managed to catch her. "Hey, what's up with the attitude? Ignoring everyone who is trying to talk to you... It's still too early to be serious... You know what, our classmates told me that you're a happy, energetic, cheerful girl... is it true? Hahaha! I can't imagine..."
"Did you actually believe that? Stupid."
"Ahahaha...! Well, why not? Sounds true to me." Mikan just keep silent.
"You know what, I'm really having fun in this place. Ahahaha! I'm getting excited and-"
"Tsuyoshi." He stopped. "Can't you see that I'm not interested? Just stop. Ok?" After saying this, Mikan continue walking and head straight to the stairs. Tsuyoshi was left behind. Tsk! What's up with her? "It's too early to rest. I'll just walk around."
