Natsume's POV :

When Narumi the gay had finished his boring class, I saw a blonde and uncertain head walking

toward me. The boy, (I saw it with the uniforme) stopped behind me discretly and then came in

front of me te examinate me. Again ! I was really pissed of until I reconized him :

« Ruka ? » I asked uncertain too

« What are you doing here » He asked me.

« I'm here on vacation ! » I answered sarcastically . H looked at me with a confused face. He

believed it ! Men, he didn't change !

« I'm joking Ruka ! »

« Ah ! But Natsume what.. Why aren't you with youre family in our village ? » he questionned me.

I was about to answer him when I remembered the girl sitting next to me. I took a look toward her,

and she didn't seem to be listening but I prefered go to talk away. Though she seemed to be

disappointed when I took Ruka's arm and pulled him in the corridor.

The Gakuen Alice gyus found us... And this time we weren't able to escape in time.. Though I didn't

want it..

« Hein ? Why ? » He askeed me completly lost

« Because ! » I answered nonchalant.

« Natsume ! » This kind of thing doesn't work with Ruka..

« I changed town 14 time because of it ! My sister couldn't have friends she really can go along

with ! My dad had to change 14 times of job ! I just couldn't let them live this anymore.. It was all

my fault.. I just didn't want to fell guilty again ! You know what I mean..

« Yeah I know. Sorry for that. I wasn't able to be with you the last 2 years, I'm sorry.

« Nope. It isn't you're fault ! So stop talking, I can't be skipping class the 1st day !

Ruka just stayed in the corridor like he wasn't satisfied. Then I looked at his blue eyes and read it.

Yes I can do that ! I know him since kindergarten I know him better than no one !

« And I wanted to see you so much Ruka ! » I said with sarcasm.

He smiled at me and said : Okay then we can go back to class ! » I just couldn't resist to his laugh, it

was so innocent and natural to laugh with him. Then I lost my control for 2 minutes so I can laugh

with him like when were in our town. Actually we had to move 10 times together. I knew him when

I was 3 years old and we discovered he had an Alice at the same time as me. Since that day we had

to move and move and move a LOT ! We were always together with my older sister too. Yes I

actually have one ! I lost my mother when I was born. She died in giving birth to me.. I just couldn't

have my mind in peace since that day. So my dad raised my sister and I alone. For this I was feeling

so guilty.. But when Ruka arrived in my life, it was like a burden was getting out ouf my shoulder.

Or at least a little of it. That's why when he smile like that I can't do anything but smiling him back.

Mikan's POV :

« Oh ! Why did he go ? » I grumbled.

I was so surprise when I noticed Ruka and Hyuuga know each other ! I was listening their

conversation and he left ! I thought I hide my curiosity but I think he at least noticed it.. This dawn

Hyuuga.. It makes me sick to say this but I think is more clever than I thought he was.

BAKA BAKA

« Ouch Hotaru » I could reconize this pain into 1000 differents ! THIS ONE is the air bullet of

Hotaru Imai's Bakagun. [If you don't understand the name I will explain to you : This gun was made

for me. That's the explanation. Did you know Baka in Japnese means 'Idiot' ? Then I think now you

understand what Hotraru think I am.]

« What is agitating you like this idiot ? » [Key word : Idiot] « Are you going to scream like those

hysterical girls ? » she asked certainly pissed of.

« No. I was just wondering from when did Ruka and Hyuuga knows each other ? »

« They does ? »

« Hn. » I nodded. « But now they left to speak in the corridor and I can't hear their conversation

anymore ! » At this moment I swear I saw stars shinning in Hotaru's eyes ! I knew this look : she

had an idea. She ran toward her desk and came back with a small box black and yellow. She gave it to me and when i opened it I discover a hundred of little mushrooms. I stared at her with this look

who only Hotaru can decipher : 'I knew it would happen. You're crazy.'

And then like she wanted to confirm my thought, she took two mushrooms and put them in her ears.

I was calling the cops when she said like a robot : « My sister couldn't have friends she really can

go along with ! My dad had to change 14 times of job ! I just couldn't let them live this anymore.. It

was all my fault.. I just didn't want to fell guilty again ! You know what I mean.. »

Oh ! I understand ! I put two mushrooms in my ears too and listen to their conversation.

« And I wanted to see you so much Ruka ! » I raised an eyebrow. What the hell was that ? I could

fell the sarcsm in that sentence ! Then I heard two laugh : The first was Ruka's. I can reconize it

with his crystalline tone. And the other was unknow but just as nice as Ruka's. It was harsher but

delicate too. And I have to admit this laugh makes me have butterflies in my stomach. I felt relieved

until I felt someting like an intrusion in my head : KOKO ! He was reading my mind ! This

bastard ! Then I started a fire in my hand and thought very hard : « Read in my mind again without

permission and I swear this will be the last thing you will do. »

When I looked at Koko, he was sweating hard and pretending to speak with someone.

Suddenly the door opended and two boys entered in the classroom. Shit ! With this I missed their

conversation ! Thank you Koko ! I saw the person in question sweating harder.

When they came in the middle oh the room, all of the girls screamed and jumped at them. They

were shouting « Go out with me » or « My two princes ! ». Those girls were really pathetic ! And I

thought Hyuuga was thinking the same because he looked really pissed of. He was traying to

rejected them not being rude but he lost control and a circle of fire appeared in front of them.

« What the hell is that... ? » I asked Hotaru.

« Alice of Fire » she simply answered. I nodded. in response.

When Hyuuga turned around to seat he stop and blanked staring hardly at my hand. That's how I

noticed Koko's fire ball still in my hand. I forgot to stop it. Then I turned my eyestoward the raven

hair boy and he asked my : « Alice of fire ? »

«Wrong. Alice of Wish. » I answered simply still looking at his crimson eyes.

Hotaru's POV :

After 2 boring hours listening that gay Narumi and 2 others of maths with Jin-jin, Mikan and I went

to our « Special Star » dormitory.

« Be there in five. » she said walking toward her room, two door down of mine. « She's got to take

her books and change of clothes. » I thought entering in my own bedroom which could be confound

with a laboratory. There was robots, tools and sheets with calculation and graphics packed in my

desk. I pushed all of it in the floor to discover my table where Mikan and I used to do our

homeworks.

« Hotaru it's me. Open. » said a voice behind my door.

« 10 rabbits » I said.

« Like always. » she answered. Then I opned the door and let Mikan entered in the room. I sat down

on the floor. When she had finished closing the door she looked at me and jumped on my

screaming : « KYAAA HOTARUU ! » She huged me shouting : « I love you Hotaru ! You are my

best friend ! You know it right ? »

« Yes I know. » I answered glad of this sudden declaration. Then she continued screaming and

jumping around until..

BAKA BAKA BAKA

« Are you calm now ? » I demanded.

« Ouch.. Yes I've calm down now. » she replied obedient. « Ne, Hotaru, you know I'm...different in

class.. Hotaru you know why ? Don't be angry at me if I reply badly.. You know only you can see

the real me.. You know it right ? » she asked sheepish.

« I know it, idiot. » I answered smiling. I couuldn't help but smile ! Being the one and only to be

able to see her smiling face again made me really happy. I was special to her like she was for me.

But I would never tell it to her, I've my pride !

She sat and started working. Obviously she asked me a question every 5 seconde and recieved a

BAKA every minutes. This was our relationship and I liked it. What would she do without me ?

How do you think she climbed from « No star » to « Special Star » ? There was difficult ways and

a lot of pain bu she never gave up. That's what I love about her, sh's always smiling and giving

happyness to her friends. Without this girl in my life I would have become the worst Ice Queen in

the whole world ! It's this smile which preserved me from falling into darkness, from being like my

brother. I know he is a good person but somehow I feel him distant and cold. She was the one who

saved me.

« What did you find in the exercice number 5 ? »

BAKA BAKA !

Natsume's POV :

« Hey Natsume what if we do our homework together ? » Ruka asked joyfully.

« I don't mind. »

« Then fallow me ! We are gonna do it in my room ? Is it ok with you ? »

« Hn. » I replied. I really didn't mind ! So I fallowed Ruka until hte 3rd floor, this one was for the

'Three Stars' rang. We entered in his room and I sat on his bed.

« What Star rang are you Natsume ? » he asked curiosly

« Special » I answered calmly

Then I saw his widened for one minute and finaly returned to their normal state. « You didn't

change Natsume, still talented and still no interests. » he said quietly.

« To believe » I repleid with a smirke on the lips.

« Then here we go ? »

« Hn. »

With that we stated working but I wasn't in this mood and I could finish it in the night with no

problems ! So I decided to ask him some questions : « What's the name of the girl sitting next to me

in class ? You see with the 'Alice of Wish' ? » I asked interested

« You mean Mikan ? Her name is Mikan Sakura. »

« Hn. When did she arrived in Gakuen Alice ? »

« She arrived 4 years ago and Hotaru Imai, her best friend arrived 3 years ago. »

« Hotaru Imai ? What does she look like ? » I asked interested about Sakura having a best friend !

What genre woul she be ?

«Short raven hair and violet eyes. She always has he BakaGun pointed at Mikan. » While saying it I

noticed he blushed a bit. I was amused, Ruka definetly didn't has good taste at woman ! Then I

decided to tease him. « Mmmh.. I can see sh's special to you.. And you know her well ! What kind

of relationship the two of you have ? »

« D-don't say t-that ! T-there is n-no-nothin between us ! » he said blushing hard,now his whole

head was red like a tomato.

« Please not to me ! I know you too well. Anyway you should have said that before turning red as a

tomato.. » I said smirking.

He put his head in his hand and said something incomprehensible

« What » I mde him repeat for my pleasure.

« Don't say a word about it or I swear I will kill you ! » Man, he was dea serious this time !

« Don't worry ! Anyway who do you want me to tell ? » I said to calm him down.

« Mikan ? » he replied so quickly it take by surprised.

« Huh ? Why ? » I asked frankly wondering.

« What is the name of the girl sitting next to me ? » he imitated me. Now I was pissed of.

« What is the meaning of this rotten imitation ? »

« It mean that before you never asked a girl's name. It's the first time. »

« They always gave me their names before I could ask ! » I said ironicaly proud.

« That's what I was saying. She is a special girl. »he looked at my eyes to see the shock. He was

right. I never looked at it in this way but he was right. Mee too when she spoke coldly to me with

those beautiful hazel eyes and when she read her manga in front of Narumi's face, i thought she was

special. Special or weird ?

« Had she always been like this ? » I asked refering ot her blazed attitude.

« You see you- »

« Answer » I cut him in his sentence.

« Koko, the mind reader, has been here 6 years and he said when she arrived in the class, she was

the opposite of what she is now. He said she presented hrself like that : »I'm Mikan Sakura ! Nice to

meet you ! Why don't we all become friends ? » he mimicked her.

I couldn't help but laugh ! Laugh hard. Were we spaeking about the same Mikan Sakura ? The one

who said coldl to me : « Who tells you you can seat there ? » Mikan Sakura the Ice Queen ?

« Are we speaking about the same Mikan » I asked

« Yes. » he replied seriously. I knew it was true now but it was still hard to believe. « What

happened ? » I demanded

« No body knows. She suddenly changed when I arrived. I knew the real Mikan 3 or 4 month and

after she started to be like this... I can remember how nice she was, she could have do anything fo

her friends and now it's like something prevent her of being close to other people unless Hotaru.

Honestly I missed the real Mikan.. » he said disappointed

« Did she smile to you since it ? »

« No. And the only person who can see her smiling face is her best friend. Koko saw it in her

mind. »

So it was serious ? This girl showed her real face only to the person she trust the most ? She keep a

mask the whole day ? So I speak with the fake Mikan ? This girl is really interesting ! My but new

goal is to see Mikan's smiling one time !
