The Life of a Middle School Girl

Chapter 3: Meeting new friends

It was night time and everyone was called to eat dinner at the academy, as for a certain brunette, she didn't have any friends, Natsume was with his other friends, so she had no other choice but to just look for an empty seat and sit with whoever is on that certain table.

She walked to the dining hall and looked for an empty seat, she saw one beside a certain yellow-haired boy, a dark-haired girl, a brown haired girl so she walked up to them and asked, "Umm… Is anyone seated here?" She asked, pointing to the seat beside the boy, "I'm kinda alone and I have no friends, so, I was wondering if—" She was cut off by the girl with dark hair, "Quit your talking and take a seat." She said coldly to Mikan.

"Oh, okay, thanks." She thanked them and took the empty seat, "I'm Mikan by the way, Mikan Sakura." She added with a smile.

"Hi Mikan-chan, I'm Ruka, Ruka Nogi." He smiled and held out his hand and Mikan shook it, "Hi Ruka-pyon, nice to meet you." She giggled.

"I'm Hotaru Imai." The dark-haired girl said, as usual, with no emotion at all.

"And I'm Akemi, Akemi Himako, nice to meet you Mikan-chan." She said with a big smile on her face.

"Hi, it's nice meeting you too." Mikan said as she smiled back to Akemi.

"Oh, by the way Mikan-chan, what's your alice? What's your Alice type? What class are you in? What's your star rank? And what team are you in?" She asked curiously.

"Whoa! Too many questions. One at a time." She said.

"Don't mind her she's just too hyper for anyone to handle." Hotaru told Mikan.

"Hey!" Akemi got annoyed by what Hotaru told Mikan, "I'm not that hyper."

"Okay, whatever." She said as she relaxed on her chair trying not to look at Akemi.

"Okay Mikan-chan. First question: What's your Alice?" She asked slow enough for Mikan to understand.

"Hmm… well, the blonde lady-looking guy who went to my school said that I had a nullifying tinggy. Although I don't even know what it is." She answered as she put her finger on her chin, "Do you know what it is Akemi-chan?"

"Hmm… Not so sure 'bout that, but I think it's when you can block the Alices of other people when they use their Alice on you." She explained.

"Oh, wow! Cool!" Mikan shouted in delight, because, as we all know, she's the type of girl who's new with practically everything.

"Well, as for me, my Alice is Water." Akemi said pointing to herself, "Hotaru's Alice is Innovation, she can create any invention she wants to."

"And my Alice is Animal pheromone, I can control animals." Ruka said, "Umm… do you guys mind if I transfer tables, 'cause it's kinda weird for my friends if they see me sitting with girls." Ruka said scratching the back of his head.

"Okay, sure. See you Ruka-pyon!" Akemi said waving good-bye to the boy walking away from them to the table of some other boys.

"Second question: What's you Alice type?" She asked again.

"Well, I think I'm with the special ability types." She said.

"Really? Well, Mikan-chan, do you think I'm dangerous or harmful?" She asked looking down and playing with her fingers.

"You? Dangerous? Yeah right! If you notice what you're doing to me right now, would you say that you're dangerous?" She asked sarcastically.

"……" No reply.

"Oh come on Akemi-chan, of course you're not dangerous. Why would you think you're dangerous anyway?" She asked.

"Well, they said that I belonged to the dangerous ability types." She said while having waterfall-like tears come out of her dark brown eyes.

Then Hotaru brought out a gun-looking like thing and aimed at Akemi, and first thing you know…

Baka Baka Baka Baka Baka "Aho Baka…" Hotaru said coldly to her friend and continued her sentence, "It's not you who's dangerous, it's your Alice. Idiot." She said emotionlessly.

"Oh really? Hehe…! Sorry… guess I was just being silly." She said scratching the back of her head.

"Yup. You guessed it." Hotaru said.

"Well, Mikan-chan, I'm in the dangerous ability type, you're in the special ability type, and as for Hotaru-chan and Ruka-pyon, Hotaru-chan is in the technical type and Ruka-pyon is in the latent ability type."

"Oh, okay." She grinned, "So, what else do you wanna ask me?"

"Hmm… What class are you in?" She asked another question.

"Well, I'm in Class B Section 4. What about you guys?" She asked.

"Well, Hotaru-chan's in Class B Section 4 as well, as for me, I'm in Section 3, I don't know about Ruka-pyon." Akemi answered.

"Oh, okay. What else do you wanna ask me?"

"Hmm… Oh, what's your star rank?" She asked.

"Well… I'm trying to recall what that guy told me." She said with her finger on her chin, "Oh, right, now I remember, he said that maybe I'd be a two-star or three-star, since my grades were high."

"Really? Wow, I'm a two star. Narumi-sensei said that I'd have to get in the honor role to go up at least one star. Haha!" She said, "Well, anyways, Hotaru-chan's a two star. While Ruka-pyon is a one star. Hmm… Oh, now this is the question I've been craving to ask you… What team are you in?"

"Well, I'm in the yellow team. What about you?" She asked.

"I'm in the yellow team too. As well as Hotaru-chan and Ruka-pyon. Haha! Wow, we're all so lucky to be in the same teams! Haha!" Akemi said.

"Yeah! I guess so." Said Mikan, 'What about Natsume-kun? I wonder how he's doing?' She thought.

"Okay everyone, it's time to eat, the waiters will be serving you your dinner, so please enjoy." Said the lady-looking guy to the whole school, "But of course, this will be only for today because it's the first day for the freshmen, so this dinner will be special for them."

"Hey, do you know the name of that teacher? He's the one who went to my school to talk to me when they informed me that I'd be going to this school." Mikan asked.

"Well, that's Narumi-sensei, he's going to be the class adviser of section 3 on Mondays and Wednesdays, and section 4 on Tuesdays and Thursdays and section 1 on Fridays. We change class advisers everyday. I know, it's kinda weird." Akemi answered, "And that teacher with the crystal ball is Serina-sensei, the one with the stick and the frog is Jinno-sensei, the one with brown hair, is our science teacher, Misaki-sensei and the one with grayish brown hair is Noda-sensei, he's the teacher for the special ability types. Well, I guess those are all the teachers I know. My sister didn't introduce me to all of them yet."

"Oh, really? You have a sister here? What's her name?" Mikan asked.

"Well, her name is Emina Himako. She's in green team, a three star, her Alice is shape-shifting, and she's in the special ability type like you Mikan-chan." Akemi answered.

"Really? That's great! So that means that I'll get to meet her." She giggled.

"Stop talking and start eating idiots." Hotaru said, who, by the way, was already half way through with eating her dinner.

"Oh, right." Mikan and Akemi said at the same time.

As they ate, Mikan saw one of the teachers looking at her, "Hey, who's that teacher over there? I have a bad feeling about him."

"Oh, that's Persona-sensei, my sister told me that he's really scary, and that we don't want to go near him. He's the teacher for the dangerous ability types. That's why I'm really scared right now." She said.

"Oh, okay." Mikan answered.

After dinner

oOo.:.oOo.:.oOo.:.oOo.:.oOo.:.oOo.:.oOo

The three girls were walking to the dormitory. And as for Mikan, being a noisy girl and stuff, she couldn't handle the silence, so she decided to break it, "So, guys, what are your dorm room numbers?" She asked.

"Me? I'm in room # 210. What about you Mikan-chan?" She asked.

"I'm in #208, so that means we're just one room apart. What about you Hotaru-chan?" Mikan asked in excitement.

"#224 the room across yours." She said pointing to Mikan.

"Oh, great, that means our rooms are close to each other. Hihi! That's great! Wow, I'm glad to have met friends like you." Mikan giggled.

"Yeah, that's great. At least I'm friends with people other than Hotaru, Anna and Nonoko, I've been classmates with them since elementary in the Heiomachi elementary school. Haha! Only the four of us came from that school. What about you Mikan? Who are your friends who come from the same school as you?"

"Actually, of all the thousands of students in my old school, I was the only one chosen, according to Narumi-sensei." Mikan said as tears started to roll down her cheeks.

"/Gasp/ No, Mikan, don't cry! I didn't mean to ask you. I know I shouldn't have, but… It was… I… Uhh… I was just curious, you know! Hehe!" She said nervously because she felt guilty for making her new friend cry.

"No, it's okay, I just miss my old friends that's all. 'Cause when I was called from class to talk to Narumi-sensei in the principal's office, I was surprised that he told me that I was the only one chosen to come to this school among thousands of students in Uedo elementary school. I felt really sad." She said wiping away the tears from her eyes, "But I'm okay now, I've found friends, I don't know you guys that much, but I bet that we're going to be closer someday." She smiled.

Hotaru and Akemi smiled back (A/N: Whoa! Hotaru! Smiling? Yeah right! And she doesn't even know Mikan that much yet…! Hmm… /Thinks for a while/ yeah, maybe, yeah that's possible /thinks again/ but… maybe not… Hmm… Everyone… I guess we'll just have to wait for the following chappies to find out why…) as if they had a feeling that this would be the start of a beautiful friendship.
