…
A black limousine stopped in front of the GA gate. A door suddenly opened and a girl stepped outside. Behind her Channel shades, she stared at the humongous building before her. She randomly nodded her head and wondered how much the place had changed since the last time she was there; or more importantly, how much the place had not change without her absence.
She leaned casually against the car. She could just get herself in with her alice but then again, that would be kind of rude to just barge in like that. Although she was usually and naturally rude-and she always prefer to be like that-she didn't really want to get any teacher whom supposed to greet her today, into trouble. She could be nice. The girl shrugged and added in her head, 'just sometimes.'
The gate opened and walked out a guy with blonde hair with a pair of dazzling purple eyes, wearing a purple turtle neck sweater matched with a pink barrette hat. His face had this huge grin and he greeted her so energetically that she had to fight the urge to laugh because everything looked like impossible to her but yet, it was real. It's like deja-vu or something. 'He's still the same as always," she thought.
" Hai! I'm Mr. Narumi and I'm here to welcome you to Gakuen Alice," he chirped as he put out his hand for a friendly handshake.
The girl completely ignored it and flipped her hair instead. " can I come inside now?"
Mr. Narumi awkwardly pulled back his hands and gulped. His wide smile had wavered a little. " uhh. Yes. Of course. Your personal stuff had been delivered to your room beforehand so you may straightaway proceed to your class."
The girl shrugged. " Fine. Whatever." And walked passed him into the academy compound.
Mr. Narumi blinked his eyes rapidly and wondered whether foreigners are usually this rude but something significant caught his eyes-more like his ears-more than just the attitude. The voice sounded oddly familiar to him. He tried to remember where he had heard it before but then again, he could be paranoid. He had like hundreds of students after all. It could be anyone's voice. Without further delay, he quickly followed from behind.
….
" Ja, minna-san! we have a new transfer student here and I hope you guys get along well with her." Narumi delightfully announced.
" he said 'her'! it's a girl then!" a male student exclaimed cheerfully.
" heck yea! It's been awhile since a girl joined our class." Another one joined in.
" just give it up. She would probably all over Natsume and Ruka too," A voice said blandly.
" yeah right. Not probably, it's DEFINITELY." a guy stated, followed by murmurs of 'yeah' and 'right'.
" if she dares to step near Natsume, I would tear her apart."
" I would kill her if she's drooling over my Ruka."
" yeah, if it happens, we'll teach her a lesson!"
Behind the door, the particular girl activated her nullifying alice. the corner of the girl's lips curled up into an odd devilish smile. " heck yeah, I will definitely enjoy my time here while waiting for you guys to come."
A particular raven haired guy grunt under his manga for he was annoyed with the sudden ruckus but still, he did not move from his position. He was the least bit interested in what the gay teacher was saying. His honey blonde haired best friend just continued patting his bunny's head without much interest to join in the topic. While a particular raven haired girl continued on fixing one of her upgraded invention, the 720 baka gun, not bothering what the commotion was all about.
" now, now, minna-san!" Mr. Narumi said, trying to calm the whole class down. "please calm down so we can get our new friend inside to join our class."
A door was kicked open and stepped inside was a girl, with one hand at her side while the other inside her pocket. She stood at the front of the class and took off her shades and put it on top of her head. The class suddenly turned surprisingly silent—which was quite impossible because class 1A of high division ( Author's note: Sorry. I could not figure out how the classes were divided between the ages and division. ) was known to never been silent, right from when they were 3A in lower division. Four years had passed and they still kept their record as the noisiest class when the teachers weren't around. Everyone was staring at her; surprised with jaw-dropped expressions played on each of their faces.
The new girl's hair was extremely long; it trailed down behind her back until it reached her waist and hers was as dark as night. One look would tell that it was silky smooth and a guy would be crazy enough not to run his hand through her perfect hair. A few strands of her hair were highlighted with a bit of blood red color, showing a small part of her rebellious side. Her face was temptations incarnate; small and yet so gorgeous. A small silent smile appeared on her luscious lips which had a tinge of a soft pink colour. Her nose was definitely at the perfect place. And her eyes, just below her choppy fringe which covered her eyebrows as well, were brown and big and very mesmerizing to one's eyes. With her long pair of legs, her height definitely abnormal if compared to other normal girls but still, she was considered short if she stood next to a guy, but that didn't really matter at all. And even if she's not quite voluptuous, she had the right amount of curves for a guy to drool over for. Apparently, it would be 'her new classmates' to drool for. A number of girls inside the class began to hate her already.
Even if her expression was purely stoic, she was definitely something for a guy to look at more than a few times-more like to look at more than a thousand time; if it's even possible to begin with.
She bowed her head before continuing to introduce herself. " Ellys Emery. 16. Nullifying alice. Special star." Her voice was soft with a hint of a childlike tone in it. Her voice still had this weird foreign accent but her Japanese pronunciations sounded just fine. It made the guys in the class drool even more.
When the class heard what her alice was, whispers and murmurs were heard around the class. They had not found another nullifying alice user since Mikan Sakura. It startled them a little that there's other people who has the same alice as Mikan. They thought that the alice was rare as much as it was special so not many has it. And who would have known that there's other people who possessed such alice beside the Sakuras descendants.
Hearing the words nullifying alice, almost immediately, Hotaru Imai stopped her work and paid attention to the front. She looked at the girl and her eyebrows mashed together a little, though it was quite hard to see it with her emotionless expressions, as she felt something weird about her. Her presence felt familiar to her but it was odd at the same time as well. Knowing that, Hotaru decided to pay more attention to her. Something valuable might come her way or so, she had thought.
A certain raven haired guy named Natsume Hyuuga, jerkily sat straight. He had not really paid much attention to what the gay teacher was saying but just like Hotaru, when he heard the words 'nullifying alice', he jerked from his seat. He, too, looked to the front and at the girl, hoping to see whom he had wished to see for the past four years. His shoulders sagged a little when he saw the girl was unfortunately, not his Polka. He put down his manga and leaned against his seat while grunting. His best friend, Ruka Nogi, just shook his head, watching his best friend getting worked up at nothing.
" any questions for our new friend?" Narumi asked the whole class. " not personal questions, please," he added quickly when he sensed her glaring at him.
A hand rose at the back of the class. Ellys eyes traveled to the back seats where the girl-non-other than Permy herself. Ellys had guessed correct, much to her dismay. She gave a mental shake- sat and she tried not to flinch a little when she saw a familiar face sitting next to her. She was surprised. And these weird feelings of longing appeared suddenly when she saw him staring at her but still, she kept maintaining her face as stoic as ever.
" yes, Sumirei-chan? Go on," Narumi urged.
" why are you a special star when your alice is just nullification?" she asked.
Ellys winced. She had not like, not before and not even now, she still didn't like this permy. The seaweed head always bring her to the bits, driving her mad; always messing with her, trying to pick a fight with her whenever she can. Always trying to find a fault in everything she did. But that was the past, Ellys thought. Now that she's a different person, she could step on her anytime she wanted.
Ellys smirked. " how bout if you ask that to the upperhand? They're the one who gave me the star. Are you dissatisfied that I'm a bit above than you, a two star cat-dog alice user?" she asked acerbically.
" why the heck do you know my alice?! What are you?!" she shot back.
" Nothing. I'm just a normal alice user who happens to have a nullifying alice. Does that satisfy your question?" Ellys asked back with a flat tone. Her face remained stoic.
" who do you think you are to—"
Narumi quickly cut her off. " Now now Sumirei-chan, please calm down. Let's not destroy her first day of school here, shall we?" he carefully chose his words, trying his best not to disrupt an active volcano. " so, end of Q&A then." He laughed nervously.
Sumirei bit her lower lips but she obediently sat down. Her eyes won't stop glaring at the new girl. Somehow, deep inside her mind, she had already imagined her scratching the new girl's face over and over again with her claws until it was unrecognizable. Then, she would be the most satisfied person living on earth. She laughed evily inside her head.
" now, let's find Ellys-chan a seat so that—" Narumi began before getting cut off.
" Sensei, can I choose my own seat?"
Narumi stared at her unblinking, surprised with her sudden question. He gulped. " well, usually, I would give you the permission since there's a lot of free seats, but there's only one seat available now so, unless you can get a student here to exchange a seat with your, then I have no problem with that."
She nodded and looked at the entire class to access the whole of it. She hated when someone chose a seat for her. if it was the old her, she wouldn't mind seating with anyone the teacher paired her up with but now, she's not going to be the same again. She would take control. She looked again. Most of her classmates were the same as those back when she was 12. Maybe a few had gone somewhere else, or perhaps, changed classes, considering that the number of students in the class had ceased a little. At least, Yuu, Koko, Anna and Nonoko were still there-besides the obvious ones, Hotaru, Ruka and Natsume.
'Natsume', her mind said. Her gaze stopped at a familiar face of a raven haired boy. A tiny mischievous smiled appeared across her face. ' I did tell them that I would have fun by myself. So I will,' she thought jubilantly.
" sensei, I found a seat I want to sit."
" eh? Which one?"
Instead of answering to Narumi's question, Ellys walked down the aisle towards the back of the class. Every persons she passed by, they just stared at her, wide eyes. Her pace stopped beside Permy's seat. She rose her hand and said " sensei, I want to sit here!" to the front where Narumi stood. She pointed her slender fore finger to where Sumirei was seating.
Narumi sweat-dropped. " uhh, Ellys-chan. The seat belongs to Sumirei. I don't think she will give it up for you. why don't you—"
"No. She will give it to me. I'm sure of it. Actually, I can bet on it," she said confidently.
Hearing that, Sumire stood up. Her face turned crimson and her nose flared. 'like a bull in rage waiting to strike a person in red. In her case, a bull with perms,' Ellys added in her head amusingly. Nothing pleased her more than something to amuse her; by means, something she could annoy with, or more like someone. And Permy was the best candidate she ever had. And she rather thought this seaweed need some payback for what she had done four years ago to her. And the payback would start now.
"What makes your think in your crazy tiny mind that I would give up my place for you?" she hissed.
"It's not yours to begin with," Ellys answered.
"Of course it is! I had been sitting here all my life!"
"It IS yours. But it WAS not yours," Ellys emphasized on the differences of the two verbs.
"What do you mean by that?!" she shot back.
Ellys looked at her with a tilt head on the side. She crossed her arms on her chest. "This seat belongs to Mikan Sakura. You took it from her after she left."
Natsume's head snapped to her direction. Hataru eyed her even more intently. Ruka stared seriously at her. everyone pretty much focused on the scene.
Permy's eyes wide with shock. " h-how..how d-d-did you know that?" she stammered. How on earth can the new girl know the seating? More importantly, how can she know Mikan Sakura?
Ellys stopped to think whether she needed to explain further or not on the matter of how on earth she managed to know that the seat was Mikan Sakura's. She had crossed the line. She wasn't supposed to mention the name but now that she did, she needed to explain. Yep. Seeing all the flabbergasted faces around the class, she ought to explain. But by all means, she wouldn't tell the truth. Why destroy the fun when it just began?
She quickly added after a brilliant thought. " I heard the girls talking on my way here. They said some old permy haired girl had taken over the seat besides Natsume Hyuuga and being all clingy to him. I didn't know which one is this Hyuuga guy but I could guess with that ridiculous seaweed hair of yours, that it's you whom they were talking about. They practically bad mouthed you so I assumed they really despised you. if I took your seat, I would be helping them a little. That's just made my day a bit better," she explained while feigning a little smile.
Her long explanation resulted in a few nods and murmurs of 'yeah, that's possible' and 'that could be it' from the rest of the class. Ellys sighed in relief in the inside. Safe.
Permy's eyes twitched. Her face turned ashen. " it would make your day?" she said through gritted teeth. Her fists clenched hard at her sides.
Ellys shrugged. " A little. Maybe. But whether you're going to give it or not with your consent, I'm still going to take this seat anyway."
" that's it! I had enough of your snobbish way!" she shrieked in rage. A pair of cat ears popped on top of her head and her nose had appeared to a cat's, with whiskers and all. without much delay, she made a jump and came charging, with claws showing no mercy at her paws, straight towards her. Her speed was fast and good but Ellys had better experience in handling the matter. She was trained with professional trainers. This was just a child play to her. she needed not use her alice for this one. Just a mere physical defense and attack would do.
She dragged her feet and moved her body to the left a little before grabbing for permy's arm and flipping her around, until she fell onto the cold hard marble floor. It surprised the whole class. Even Narumi stared with shock. He should have stepped in to stop the fight if he knew it would turn out like this. Permy winced in pain. Feeling totally embarrassed, she quickly stood up, and cringed every time the pain hit her.
She glared at the new girl. "You said your alice is nullifying!"
"It is," Ellys said in as-a-matter-of-fact tone.
"Then, what on earth did you just do?!" she asked, feeling dissatisfied.
"I'm just physically fit. That's all." Ellys answered blandly. Then, she eyed her curiously. "What? You want to try another one to prove I'm wrong?"
" uhh. Sumirei-chan, why don't you just take a seat beside Yuu and let her have your seat?" Narumi's voice suddenly came. He thought he finally needed to do something before Sumirei's bone broke for real. He had not thought it had down to this serious with just a changing seat.
Certainly, it was clear to everyone's eyes that Sumirei refused to back down but with her state, she had no choice but to obey. Another flip like that, she would loose one of her bones. And she definitely she wouldn't want that. With clenched fists on her sides, teeth gritting, face scarlet with anger, she made her way down the aisle towards the front seat; next to Yuu. Halfway there, Ellys called out to her.
" Permy! Just so you know, even if I took this seat from you, I can assure you that I'm the least bit interested in this dull guy over here and his friend over there," she exclaimed while pointing her forefinger towards a stoic face Natsume and a confused looking Ruka. She took a seat next to Natsume and leaned casually against her seat. Permy continued her way towards her seat while grumbling and complaining non-stop.
" uhhh. Now that the changing of seat is done, uhhh.. we shall proceed with the class then," Narumi announced awkwardly to the whole class. The atmosphere was intense. He gulped before forcing himself to smile wide and back to his cheery self. " okay, today, we'll continue with Shakespeare. So take out your book and read page 101."
Noticed that Ellys had not any books, Narumi called out to the back of the class. " Ellys-chan, you can share a book with Natsume-kun. Since he's sitting next to you, he'll be your partner from now on."
" I do not need a partner for I already knew the places around here. And no, no thank you. I do not want to share with him. Plus, I already finished studying Shakespeare back at my place so I'm good to go," she replied, causing a surprised to every one else in the room. Not that she had finished studying Shakespeare caused the commotion, it's the fact that she turned down a million golden chances to become THE Natsume Hyuuga's partner.
The guys sweat dropped and the girls cried happily; at least she won't be interested in Natsume so the spot of being Natsume Hyuuga and Ruka Nogi's girlfriends were still available, the girls thought. And the guys were far happier than the girls that finally, a girl whom was not interested in neither Natsume nor Ruka appeared.
Natsume sent a glance at Koko sitting two seats next to Ruka. Understood the meaning of the glance, Koko shook his head and showed an 'X' sign with his forefingers. All these time, he had been trying to read the new girl's mind but he could get nothing out of her head. She had cancelled his reading alice completely that it was impossible for him to break into. 'A strong nullifying alice user. Make sense she's a special star', he heard Natsume said in his head and Koko nodded in agreement. He tried to get something useful out of Narumi's head of the new girl but the gay teacher seemed to know about the same information as the rest of the kids. Nothing.
Koko sighed in defeat. It was super hard to get inside the new girl's head but it was super easy to get inside everyone else. And Sumirei's. Koko chuckled. She was imagining strangling the new girl with a rope and dipping her head in a bowl of boiling water. It was always fun to see what's in a person's mind. Koko looked at the new girl.
' I bet it would be a thousand time more thrilling to see what's inside her mind,' he thought.
