©h∂p†∑® 4
I had been a week since I had enrolled into Alice Private Academy. It was lunch time and I was wondering through the halls day dreaming. I was wondering what I should do from now on. Tsubasa-senpai had told me not to force myself to live someone else's life for them... But then I don't have a reason to stay here. I thought for a moment. Maybe I should try ballet and see what my mum saw in it. My mum did teach me some ballet steps when I was little but it didn't really turn out so well...
I stopped at the notice boards. The ballet class sign up sheet was right in front of me. I grabbed the pen but I hesitated. What if I mess up? What if I get kicked out? Then what do I do? I took a deep breath in. 'It's ok Mikan. You can do this. Who cares if I mess up? What did grandpa always say? Keep your grades up!!!!......Wait, not that one...What matters is what you think...Yeah that one!' I thought. I was about to write my name when I heard a snort behind me.
"You? Signing up for ballet? That will be a sight to see?"
I stuck my tongue out him. "Shut up Natsume!"
"Whatever. No matter how hard you try, I doubt you'll be able to get passed the auditions since you're such an idiot" retorted Natsume. He was starting to really piss me off.
"Listen you!" I shouted as I pointed an accusing finger at him. "You're the idiot! You don't even know what I'm like and you're still judging me? I bet you couldn't do ballet yourself!"
"Who said I wanted to do ballet. And for your information, I think I know you well enough. You are an idiotic girl who snores loud like a bulldozer, can't even say the simplest things in French and leaves her underwear next to the washing basket instead of in!" said Natsume. I was turning redder and redder by the second and steam was coming out of my ears and nose.
"YOU PERVERTED JERK!" I shouted as I side kicked and aimed at his pretty little face. Natsume dodged it easily and smirked. "You can't even hit your target. Pff, pathetic. Let's go Ruka" said Natsume as he walked away with his friend which I haven't noticed until now. Ruka stopped and turned to me and said a quick 'sorry about that' before catching up to Natsume.
I was still in angry mode when I felt someone's hand on my shoulder. I looked up and I was face to face to Tsubasa-senpai.
"Wow, that was some kick there although you missed. Are you looking for a club to join?" he asked. I had calmed down and nodded.
"I was going to join ballet to see what my mother saw in it but then it resulted into me completely embarrassing myself. It was that stupid moron's fault" I complained. Just thinking of his face made me want to punch him. Tsubasa-senpai snickered.
"Well although I can't help with your issues with your room mate but I can help you with your club hunt" I just looked at him with a confused expression. "I have a perfect place for you"

Senpai had led me to the back of the school where there were more gardens and seats. There were rose bushes, camellias, daffodils and all sorts of flowers and trees which I didn't know the name of. There were also some buildings which I figured were music and sports buildings.
We had been walking for another few minutes and I was just about to ask him if we were there yet when he stopped in front of door. "Here we are" he said before opening the door. He still didn't tell me what kind of club it was. I was expecting something like a big gym with sports equipment and mats but all I was greeted by was the sight of a bucket thrown at senpai.
"You're late Tsubasa! We were supposed to start making fliers for the new season this term!" shouted a girl with reddish hair. She had her hands on her hips and wore an expression that said 'I'm gonna kill you!'. I wasn't sure it I was supposed to admire for her confidence towards Tsubasa-senpai or be scared of her and her temper. I guess I was feeling a little bit of both...
"Sorry, sorry~ I was just out recruiting a new member" he said. He pushed me in front of him and introduced me. "This is Sakura Mikan. The newest member of Alice Private Academy and the newest member to out Taekwondo Club~"
"W-What?" I asked dumbfounded. Suddenly the red haired girl's angry face turned into a happy one. "Oh my god! You are so cute! Hi, my name is Harada Misaki. I'm in the same year as Tsubasa" she said. We exchanged hellos when I suddenly remembered.
"Tsubasa-senpai, is she the girl you were telling me about? The one who I could go for help and stuff?" Tsubasa nodded.
"What? What about me? What have you been telling her Tsubasa?" asked Misaki-senpai with a worried/annoyed expression. Tsubasa-senpai smiled and put an arm around her. "Nothing. I was just telling her to watch out for your punches" joked Tsubasa-senpai. Misaki-senpai obviously didn't find it funny and punch Tsubasa-senpai square in the face. Ouch!
"I never knew there was a Taekwondo Club in the school!" I said as I looked around the gym. It wasn't much, really, it was just an old building with some mats on the floor and body pads, kicking pads and a punching bag. There wasn't much people either. Around 20?
"Yup, isn't it awesome?! But the school is planning to disband us since there's so little of us. You can tell by our run down place" explained Tsubasa-senpai.
"So we were planning on making fliers today to recruit new members. If we get more then they can't shut us down!" said Misaki-senpai. I obviously agreed to help. We made big posters and fliers. Paint was flying everywhere and it landed on everyone. Although the place ended up in a big mess, it was still really fun! Everyone was so nice and treated me like I was there little sister-yup, I was the youngest there-I felt really special.
We handed out the fliers to passing students and stuck posters on walls. Although we did find the rubbish bins full of our fliers and some of our posters had graffiti on it, I still had a great time with everybody. Anyway, if we couldn't persuade people to join the club, then we'll just have to find another way! In the mean time, I think I finally found a place where I could call it my 2nd home!

I had said my goodbyes to my new senpais and headed back to the dorm. I had promised them to meet them after school tomorrow and I was very happy about it. I skipped the rest of the way. When I opened the door all I could see was darkness. I was expecting Natsume to be sitting on the couch reading manga or watching tv but it seemed like the room was deserted. I switched on the lights and I screamed. There was some blood on the floor and Natsume was lying on the ground unconscious. First of all I panicked and then I quickly ran and knelt down beside Natsume's unmoving body.
"Natsume! Wake up! Are you ok?! What happened?! Natsume!" I shouted as I tried to wake him. I knew it was useless but I still tried anyway since I didn't know what else to do. Then I noticed that my hands were red with blood. I quickly found where the blood was coming from-it was dripping out just above Natsume's hip. It seemed like he was shot. Oh my God! I quickly ran to the bathroom and got a towel and soaked it in warm water and hurried back to Natsume's side. I turned Natsume over so that he was lying on his back and dabbed the towel over his injury. 'How did this happen' I thought to myself.
Suddenly Natsume's eyes flickered opened to about halfway. "M-Mikan?"
"Natsume!! Are you ok?!?! Natsume!" but before he could answer he fell unconscious again. "Natsume!! Natsume!! You idiot! Wake up!!" Tears were rolling down my cheeks but I had no idea why.
"Sakura-san!"
I looked up and saw Ruka standing in the doorway. He saw Natsume and in a second he was kneeling beside him as well. "I heard screaming coming from your room. What happened here?" He asked frantically.
"I-I don't know?! I just came in and saw Natsume half dead!" I knew I was exaggerating a bit but that's what the situation looked like from my perspective.
"Ok. Let's get him to the hospital first!" said Ruka. He carried Natsume on his back while running to the school hospital. I closely followed. I never knew this school had a hospital! This school has everything!
The nurse took Natsume into the emergency room. Ruka and I waited and waited. Ruka looked really worried. He looked like he was about to charge into the emergency room. I was worried to. Was Natsume really shot? If he was, by whom?
Dear Grandpa
The day started out fine. I made new friends, joined a club and had a happy day but why is this happening? Why is Natsume injured? Please let him be ok!
