The next morning Mikan woke up earlier than usual. She even woke up before her alarm clock went off ( don't you hate when than happens, it happens to me all the time). The sun was peeking through the curtains giving a little warmth to the room. Mikan sat up on her bed and stretched. Because she went to sleep late last night, she thought she wouldn't get enough sleep but she slept like a baby.
Mikan turned off her alarm clock and darted to the washroom. She took a shower, brushed her teeth and changed. She looked on the bathroom table. On it was her disguise. Mikan sighed heavily as she looked at her true self in the mirror. 'If I could just be myself without any acting or disguises then this would be perfect. Oh well . . . . I knew this was coming and I hope I'll find some peace and quiet'
Mikan sighed once more time and began to tie her hair into pigtails. She put on her color contacts and fake glasses and made her way to the kitchen. She knew breakfast was served downstairs but right now she didn't feel like it. She pulled out a frying pan and made herself breakfast.
Mikan finished just in time, she ran to the washroom and checked her disguise 'Perfect!' She thought, she was actually quite proud of her disguise. She grabbed her bag and keys and left her room.
Since she was still early, Mikan decided to walk to school. She thought it would be a long walk but surprisingly, it wasn't. To kill time, she walked around the school. Soon she found her way to washrooms, the library, the gym, change rooms and her classroom. She arrived at her class in time to find Narumi-sensei waiting for her.
" Ohayou Mikan-chan!!! Ready to begin your first day?" He told her sounding really, REALLY happy.
Unfortunately, Mikan just found more evidence that suggests her teacher was gay. " Y-Yeah . . . uumm . . . o-ok . . . ." She was a little freaked out.
Narumi-sensei opened the classroom door and walked in. Mikan thought to herself 'Remember! I have to act boring and quiet. Time to put my acting to the test.'
" Ohayou minna-san! Today we will welcome a new student. I hope you make her feel welcome." Narumi signaled the new student to walk in.
Mikan walked in sheepishly, as if trying to run and hide in a corner ( I think she took her acting a bit too far). She was expecting disappointed looks from boys who expected a cute girl to walk through the door. What she saw was even more shocking. No one, and I mean no one paid attention. They weren't even looking at the teacher.
Suddenly, Narumi-sensei told her to introduce herself.
" Konnichiwa! My name is Mikan Sakura." She said this loud enough for the whole class to hear. Suddenly, all the students (with the exception of one) attentions were caught.
" Now, are there any questions for our new student? "
Immediately, all hands flew up in the air. Both Mikan and Narumi-sensei were surprised.
" Y-yes" He pointed to a girl with pink hair.
" Are you the actual Sakura Mikan, you know the celebrity one?" She asked with a lot of demand in her voice though Mikan could tell she was a friendly girl.
Mikan was speechless. She knew that she wasn't found out but she couldn't help but feel insulted. Even if she was a completely different person she didn't want to be compared especially when it makes her sound like some messed up clone.
" Yes I'm actually Mikan Sakura. And no I'm not the celebrity one. There is a possibility in this world for two people to have the same name you know. " She was trying not to sound pissed but she couldn't hide her anger completely.
The students seemed disappointed but there were still hands up. Narumi-sensei picked the next one.
" What's your star ranking?"
Narumi-sensei answered for her, " She's a top star."
This caught everyone's attention, including that one exception. All the students stared at Mikan wondering if she was really that special. Narumi-sensei decided to pick another student to kill the silence. He pointed to another one.
" Um . . . yeah . . .what's her Alice? " This time it was a guy and he made it sound like she wasn't there. Weren't these question suppose to be directed to her.
Mikan was about to answer but Narumi-sensei beat her to it, " Her Alice is the Nullification Alice."
For some reason the students seemed more shocked.
" What?! How can SHE be a top star, I mean, she's not even pretty and her Alice isn't even that special." Yelled a green haired girl. She looked like she had a seaweed perm ( take a wild guess at who it is) .
Now Mikan was going to explode. She decided to try a different approach to her acting. She was clearly angry. " Ok, first of all permy, as far as I know, looks don't matter in star ranking. I'm new here and even I know that and two, you're not all that yourself, PERMY, so shut it cuz you're giving me a headache. "
Everyone was shocked that those words and attitude came out of a girl who looked like that. Even Narumi-sensei was shocked and Permy was left speechless.
Narumi-sensei turned to his class, " T-To answer Sumire's question, Mikan's entrance exam test scores are one of the highest in Academy history. As for her Alice, she already has great control of it and Nullification can lead to many opportunities. Not just that, Mikan has made many contributions in Japan. So if you sum it all up, she deserves to be a special star." The class finally snapped out of their state of shock and surprise only to enter a state of shock and amazement. Who knew that that girl could achieve so much by the age of seventeen.
In the back of the room, our favorite brunette caught the attention of a certain guy with raven colored hair and piercing crimson eyes. He smirked. Even though her face looks like that, I can tell she's going to be interesting. Not to mention the fact that there is still more to her than it seems.'
" Okay! One last question!" Narumi sensei quickly pointed to a random kid.
" Yeah! . . . . what kind of contributions did you make? "
Mikan started to feel a little nervous since she wasn't prepared for this question. Fortunately, Narumi-sensei came to her rescue. "Actually, for certain reasons that is confidential but her achievements have made a difference in Japan. Now we need to assign a partner for Miss Mikan Sakura. "
No one put up their hand so Narumi-sensei looked around the classroom. " Okay, Mikan's partner will be Hyuuga Natsume."
This caught EVERYONE'S attention. In the back of class, a raven-haired boy looked up at the sound of his name.
"WHAT!!! That little over-achiever is partnered with MY Natsume." It was the seaweed perm girl again.
All of a sudden, a fire started on the top of her head.
"Oi!! Who says I belong to you, I won't even go near you, you ugly hag."
Everyone turned to face an emotionless boy and a screaming Sumire. As quickly as the fire started, it extinguished itself from the top of her head. Sumire ran out of the room crying. Everyone sweatdropped.
" A-Anyways," Narumi-sensei started to say, " Mikan, your partner is Natsume and since there is an empty seat next to him, you may sit there. Natsume," He was now facing the crimson eyed boy, " You will give her a tour and help her when she needs help."
Mikan whispered something into her teacher's ear making everyone curious.
Narumi-sensei nodded, " Actually, Natsume, you won't need to give her a tour since she knows her way around this school pretty well. Either way, you will still be her partner and assist her when she needs help. "
"Tch!!! Whatever. " Was the only thing that Natsume said. Honestly, he really could care less.
Narumi spoke, " Okay then, well, you have the rest of the day off since the teachers have a meeting so enjoy yourself." He left the room.
Mikan walked to her seat. 'Obviously that Natsume boy is the hottest boy in this class but at the same time he has the worst attitude. I think there's something wrong with him. Oh well, it's none of my business and as if I'll need help. I'll revert back to my quiet self now.'
Mikan sat down next to Natsume without even giving a hint of evidence that he was there. She took out a book and quietly read.
Natsume sat there, staring at the new student, 'This is strange. Even though she's as ugly as hell, she's different from all the other girls. No matter how ugly they are or how mean I am, every girl I've met so far had always been flocking at my heels. This one's different. It's like I'm not even here. Seems like this will get interesting.'
Suddenly, two students made their way to Mikan. One was a boy with round glasses, while the other was a girl with emotionless amethyst eyes and raven colored hair.
The boy with the glasses started, " Konnichiwa Sakura-san. My name is Tobita Yuu, and this is Imai Hotaru. " He said while pointing to the girl, she nodded. " We are the class representatives. If you have any trouble, please come to us."
The amethyst color eyed girl spoke, " Of course, I will charge you for my services. The prices will vary depending on the situation." Everyone sweatdropped.
" Umm . . .nice to meet you, you can call me Mikan if you like." Mikan flashed a quick tiny smile and realized what she had done. 'Damn! I wasn't suppose to smile and I broke it in record time.'
She snapped out of her thoughts when the pink haired girl came running into the classroom. She was panting while holding a magazine. " Hey!! Guess what everyone!! She threw down the magazine onto the desk and everyone gathered. Mikan went as well. She was shocked at the cover. It read:
MIKAN SAKURA: SEEN MAKING OUT WITH RANDOM GUY
Pictures and details inside.
All around her there were gasps and whispers. Some one turned the page and everyone read. There was a picture at the top of the page showing a identical imposter devouring the mouth of some unknown guy. Mikan looked for the date. It happened yesterday when she was riding to Alice Academy.
Mikan didn't know what to do. She was so mad but knew she had to keep her composure around everyone. She decided to call her agency. Since she had an alibi, she could take legal actions. She silently left the room, seething with anger. She didn't know that a pair of amethyst eyes followed her out the door.

Thnx for reading. Please review and advise, arigatou. I have the entire plot in my head so I'll try to type as fast as I can. I can't wait cuz it only gets better from here, and I can gauruntee it. I know that scandal seems kind of superficial but I couldn't think of anything else. Plus, personally, if a rumor like this started about me, I would be as pissed as hell.
