OKAY! Chapter 7 is here! Well, let's hope it meets your expectations guys!
-o-
It was early in the morning and a certain brunette was currently lounging under her new Tree-mansion (a/n: remember the gift Hotaru gave her?). She placed it deep in the northern woods so that she was the only one who could find it. She didn't tell her friends about it yet because she wanted to be alone. She sighed softly as she stood up. She brushed away some strands of hair away from her face before going to her room (she has a room in the tree mansion).
She entered the mahogany door and faced her lavender coated room. The windows were covered with crimson curtains and in the middle of the room was a king-sized bed. The sheets were a light pink color; it had an intricate pattern of flowers, roses to be exact. Beside her bed was an oak end table. On it was a class picture of Class B back when she was 10. Next to it was a picture of her and her friends in America.
She gracefully walked towards her walk-in closet and picked out a checkered beanie and a red jacket along with the GA uniform. She fixed the blazer and attached her special star on her collar. She left the bow untied and wore pink striped leg warmers. Then she wore the boots the Academy gave her and exited her room and proceeded to the kitchen to get a sandwich and a glass of milk. Afterwards, she strode towards the front door and exited the Tree-mansion but not without engaging the camouflage system.
"First day in class. How exciting." The brunette stated dryly before continuing onto the High School Building.
-High School Class G-
The classroom was in a bustle as some of them had heard rumors of a return student. Others were lounging about on their chairs, looking as if they did not know about it, but they were all thinking when the said 'return student' would arrive.
"Claaaaaaass!" sang a very gay Narumi as he twirled inside. "We have a very special return student! She came back from AAA or Alice Academy America. Please welcome her!" And acting on cue, a short haired brunette entered, her face covered by a beanie and hands in her pockets. But even if her face was covered, they could already sense she was beautiful because the GA skirt was short so you were able to see her cream-colored thighs that looked very smooth and soft. Her hair also looked beautiful even though only a bit could be seen. Her hair looked luscious and soft to touch. All in all, she looked perfect, except for the fact that she wore a baggy red jacket and beanie covered her face.
"Her name is Mikan Sakura! She's a special star. Her alice is Nullification and S.E.C.! Now, if you have any questions for Mikan-chan, kindly raise your hands!"
Almost all of the class raised their hands except the brunette's own group of friends.
"What's S.E.C?" a random girl inquired.
"It means I can steal, erase and copy your alice." The hazel orbed girl answered gruffly before proceeding onto the next question.
"Why is she a special star?" another student asked.
"Well you see, she was already one when she was schooling in America." This time Narumi answered.
"Okay. You can all ask her more questions later in your free period. Now, we also have 2 new male students! Please come in you two." And two more boys joined Mikan in front of the class. One looked like he didn't want to be here while the other had a big grin plastered on his face. They both were extremely handsome like our own fire-caster. Swoons could be heard from the female population in the class.
"Hi! I'm Chris Daniel! I have the Figure Alice! I have the ability to create objects using simple elements like wood, grass, water, metal, plastic, and other stuff! I'm a three star!" enthusiasm dripped from every word of his voice. "Oh, and I'm courting Mikan." That part was feeble, but it was heard by everyone in the room. Everyone gasped. Natsume was clenching his fists as he glared the blue-haired teen in front.
"W-well, how about this other gentleman here?" Narumi asked, trying to lighten up the mood.
"Kyle Creves. Ice Alice. Special star. I'm also courting Miki." And as if on cue, the two boys put their arms around the brunette's waist protectively. Another round of gasps had started.
"Let go of me, idiots." The brunette muttered while pushing away the two which caused a certain fire caster to smirk in triumph.
"A-any questions?" Narumi asked. Then, a red-headed fan girl stood up, flaunting every part of her body while smiling flirtatiously at the two boys. The girl wore her uniform very much like a, excuse me for the word, slut would. The top buttons of the blouse were unbuttoned to reveal a very noticeable cleavage. Her skirt was also too short and you could easily notice that she had purposefully cut it to show her mid thighs.
"Narumi-sensei, caaaaan Kyle be my partner?" she asked in a sickeningly sweet baby voice while twirling a strand of hair in an act to look cute.
"Gawd, who would want to be partners with you?" the gray-eyed boy replied as he stared at the female like she was something revolting, which she was.
Offended and embarrassed, the fan girl sat back down and gave an irritated glare to the female brunette in front.
"Anyway, Mikan-chan's partner wiiiiiill be," the teacher paused to survey the class, looking for a perfect candidate "Natsume-kun! Just like how it was before, ne?" with this, the said fire-caster winced and found his table very interesting. "Now, for Kyle-san, it will be Mochu-kun! And Chris will be partnered with Kitsuneme!" the new amount of fan girls groaned when none of the females were partnered with the two new boys.
"Mikan-chan, you know where Natsume is! Now, Mochu, please raise your hand! You too Kitsu-kun!" And the three of them proceeded to their seats, next to their said partners.
"Ohayou Ruka. Hyuuga." The brunette greeted softly as she faced the two.
"Mikan-chan, I'm glad you're back." The blonde lad said as he beamed at the brunette, nudging Natsume to say something.
"Hn." the fire-caster grunted. The brunette just nodded in reply to the two as she proceeded to sit.
"Class, free period!" Narumi announced before twirling away into his freakin' world of happiness and stuff.
Mikan's POV
As soon as Narumi-sensei exited, boys pooled my table along with some girls who were my friends. I sat there, impassive and cast a barrier around myself so I couldn't hear them, they couldn't get near me and I was in my own serene environment. I gave them a short glare before attaching my iTouch to my alice-made portable speaker and put it on full blast. As this was alice-made, the blast blew away the people crowding around me. They could still hear it outside though, even though I couldn't hear them. Now, they were getting pieces of paper and wrote on it, showing them to me. I made the barrier walls cover me entirely, so they were not able to see me. I played a different song, Taylor Swift's Story of Us.
I used to think one day we'd tell the story of us
How we met and the sparks flew instantly
People would say, "they're the lucky ones"
I used to know my place was a spot next to you
Now I'm searching the room for an empty seat
'Cause lately I don't even know what page you're on
Before, I would always sit next to Natsume in almost everything. Right now, I just wish I wasn't.
Oh, a simple complication
Miscommunications lead to fall out
So many things that I wish you knew
So many walls up I can't break through
Now I'm standing alone
In a crowded room
And we're not speaking
And I'm dying to know
Is it killing you
Like it's killing me?
I don't know what to say
Since a twist of fate
Right now, the fact that were next to each other right now, it feels really awkward. Like I want to be best friends with him again. When he would always be there for me, in situations. The only sign of acknowledgement I got from him was when he grunted. The heartbreak is back and it's slowly killing me more and more. My feelings lingered and never went away.
When it all broke down
And the story of us
Looks a lot like a tragedy now
Next chapter
How'd we end up this way?
See me nervously pulling at my clothes
And trying to look busy
And you're doing your best to avoid me
I'm starting to think one day I'll tell the story of us
How I was losing my mind when I saw you here
But you held your pride like you should have held me
Oh, we're scared to see the ending
But he would never like back, wait, love. His big ego and pride is the only thing he would ever care for. I just wish right now that he would ignore his pride for once and hold me like how he would to his pride and ego.
Why are we pretending this is nothing?
I'd tell you I miss you but I don't know how
I've never heard silence quite this loud
Now I'm standing alone
In a crowded room
And we're not speaking
And I'm dying to know
Is it killing you
Like it's killing me?
I don't know what to say
Since a twist of fate
When it all broke down
And the story of us
Looks a lot like a tragedy now
I could relate to this song a lot. As I kept listening, I began to sing to the next verse.
This is looking like a contest
Of who can act like they care less
But I liked it better when you were on my side
The battle's in your hands now
But I would lay my armor down
If you'd say you'd rather love than fight
So many things that you wish I knew
But the story of us might be ending soon
I know we both were trying to look like we didn't give a damn about anything that happened but it was hard for me to hide it all. I started to cry softly, so as they couldn't hear me. I quickly wiped away my tears and thought how stupid could I be? It was all in the past. Never again would I let that jerk hurt me.
Now I'm standing alone
In a crowded room
And we're not speaking
And I'm dying to know
Is it killing you
Like it's killing me?
I don't know what to say
Since a twist of fate
When it all broke down
And the story of us
Looks a lot like a tragedy now, now, now
And we're not speaking
And I'm dying to know
Is it killing you
Like it's killing me?
I don't know what to say
Since a twist of fate
'cause we're going down
And the story of us
Looks a lot like a tragedy now
As the song ended, I felt really weak. Like I wanted to collapse. And so I did.
End of POV
As the brunette collapsed, the barrier broke and everyone had shock stricken faces as they saw what had occurred. And as if acting on impulse, the fire-caster jumped to the side of the brunette. He held her hand tightly before spotting a tear trickle down her cheek.
"Natsume…" the brunette muttered. The fire-caster widened his eyes for a second before carrying her bridal style to the infirmary.
"Natsume… I still love y-you." The brunette muttered in her sleep before she snuggled comfortably in the fire-caster's arms, snoring softly.
To say the crimson-eyed lad was joyful was an understatement. He was ecstatic! Who wouldn't when the love you thought you lost still loves you?
The fire-caster inwardly smiled to his self as he gave the brunette a peck on the forehead caressing her smooth porcelain face. As he stared longingly at her face, the door burst open to reveal the worried faces of his friends, also the faces of a certain ice wielder and a blue-haired lad.
"Is she alright?" asked the animal pheromone alice as he held Usagi tightly in his arms. The fire-caster just nodded in return.
"Thank goodness for that." Nonoko muttered as she sighed in relief and proceeded to the side of the brunette, replacing a fire-caster who, mind you, was very annoyed when the chemist shoved him aside.
"What happened to her, exactly?" Sumire inquired as she latched onto the arm of Koko.
"She collapsed due to exhaustion. Don't worry, she's going to be fine, she'll just get a few minor headaches now and then." The nurse said as she entered the room with a clipboard in her grasp and a thermometer in the other. "I'm just going to check her temperature, okay?"
The group exited except for an ice wielder, a fire-caster and an object manipulator.
"Hyuuga, go away, you've already been with her for some time already." The ice wielder said as he glared at the hand that was still clutching the hand of his lady love.
"Suit yourself." The fire-caster smirked. He knew that he had already won, in a way.
Kyle's POV
That Hyuuga guy left, smirking. I didn't what he was smirking about but I don't care anyway. I walked to her side and stared at her like she was the most beautiful thing in the world, which she was.
"Is she going to be alright?" I heard Daniel ask in a low voice as he faced the floor. What's wrong with him?
"She's just exhausted from too much fandom. That's all." I replied as I brushed away some strands of hair from her face.
"Shouldn't you be fussing over her by now?" I asked Daniel as I faced. He didn't seem to notice me.
End of POV
Chris' POV
It can't be. I must've heard wrong.
Flashback:
When Hyuuga carried her out of the room, I followed them. Kyle said he would follow later when he was done freezing the fan boys to their spots.
I ran towards the direction he was going but I hid behind a trash can when I realized Mikan was muttering some things softly.
"Natsume… I still love y-you." It was like I had been frozen there. I was stricken with anguish, hurt and anger. A warm liquid trickled down my face as her words repeated in my mind.
Natsume… I still love y-you
Natsume… still love
Natsume… love y-you
Natsume… I love y-you
I love y-you…
End of Flashback
She loves him.
