A/N: Come up with another fic! It just popped up in my mind. This is the remaining story I haven't completed yet (liar lol) so I'll update it every now and then. Hope you will like it guys. Please read and review.

Summary: It's the story of a typical, talented but too shy to show it, nerd and like to hide in own shell type of girl. One day a handsome guy and the most sought-after heartthrob in the school befriended her and courted her afterwards. They became the most talked-about couple then. They were the talk of the Academy. Definitely NOT YOUR dream girl and definitely YOUR dream boy is a love couple! But the twist of fate happened. The nerd girl found out that she's just being played by the once she thought her Prince. She left and after years she came back. But she's different now than before. For she is now carrying sweet revenge in her return…

Disclaimer: I do not own Gakuen Alice. As simple as that.

Sweet Revenge

Chapter 1: A Girl Can Make You Cry

A girl with brunette hair is crying in front the cold looking raven-haired guy. Tears kept on flowing from her hazel eyes. Hurt...no...very hurt is evident in her eyes. Hatred for the guy in front of her was obvious, too.

"You played on my emotions." She said, full of regret, anguish with mix of confusion in her voice. How could this guy whom she loves so much more than herself hurt her? Hurt her very much. How could he?

Tears were still flowing from her eyes. She kept on wiping them, but it never stopped on flowing. Betraying her emotions.

The handsome raven-haired guy just plastered a blank look, he seemed to not care that the girl in front of him is crying hardly and needed his comfort. He just stared on her hazel eyes. He could see anger and not the love, which he usually seen beaming in her eyes when they were still together before. Were not are. Before not now. Past not present.

"So?" the raven-haired guy nonchalantly grunted, putting his hands on his pockets.

"You said you l-love me." She stammered. Oh, she couldn't handle this anymore. Mixed emotions are juggling inside her. But she could still feel that her heart is still breaking into pieces, and sees her world cut apart.

She noticed that the guy's adam's apple moved up and down, as if clearing something. "I always say that to every girl. It depends upon them, if they will believe me or not, besid- "

SLAP!

The brunette girl couldn't stop herself this time as she slapped hard the handsome guy's cheek. She bowed down and covered her eyes through her bangs. "Enough." She begged weakly.

The guy touched his swollen cheek. While hearing gasps from the people surrounding them.

"I hate you, Natsume Hyuuga." She continued in a low tone, but clear enough for him to hear.

The guy still stared at her blankly.

She then lifted her face to meet his dark eyes. Her tears never stopped flowing. She did not care anymore that she just shown her weakness in front of him and to the many people there. She did not care anymore about the world. She just felt utterly dumb and numb at the moment.

"Someday…" she said, wiping her tears again, ".. A girl can make you cry." She ended, before running from the crowd especially from him...

"Kkkriinnnnnggggggggg!"

"Oh shit!" a girl with brunette hair and hazel eyes cursed upon waking up. "Stupid dream." She cursed again. 'I dream it again.' Her mind yelled, repeatedly.

She sighed after a couple of minutes just staring blankly on the white wall. She then decided to move inside her bathroom. Once inside, she looked at herself in the mirror there, and then slowly touched her own reflection.

"I dreamt it again." She whispered after a while. She couldn't help but glanced at the earring on her left ear.

She tried to stop herself from reading the printed name on the earring, but after struggling inside, she ended up processing the name embedded on it. Natsume, the name embedded on it reads.

She closed her eyes, calming her pounding heart. She wanted to get rid of him in her system, once and for all, but she could not. As long as the earring is with her, she won't be able to forget him. The earring reminded her a lot of him. For years, she's been trying to get rid the earring, but, it's more than a steel to just wear off easily. Damn.

She sighed frustratingly again. She asked the same question a thousand times already. Of where could her ex-boyfriend bought the damn earring! Because of this, she still felt herself belonging to him. The memories of the past she already buried long time ago were still like a film keep on playing in her mind.

She sighed for the third time. No point arguing with her own self now. She took a bath and brush herself then got dress. After doing all the things she needed to do, she sat on her bed again. Thinking of something once more.

Then the ring of the telephone inside her room interrupted her thoughts. She just stared on the phone for a while, then after five consecutive rings she finally decided to answer it.

Not all the time that the telephone inside her room will ring. She knew that whoever the person who called her surely has important matters to talk with her, and definitely connected to the most memorable place, rather, school in her entire life.

"Hello? Mikan Sakura speaking." She answered softly.

"Mikan-chan!" the voice on the other line cried, obviously happy to hear her voice.

Mikan recognized the voice. She smiled immediately, "Narumi-sensei!"

She heard Mr. Narumi giggled. "Oh, Mikan-chan you have not forgotten me. Yokkata!"

"Oh, I would never forget you, sensei. So, how are you doing?"

"It's fine, Mikan-chan. I just called to check if everything is ready." Mr. Narumi said, happily.

Mikan glanced at her baggages. She finished packing last night. "Hai. I'm done. The flight is this afternoon 15:00." She informed her itinerary.

"Good to hear that. After two years staying there in U.S you're finally back to your home school!" Narumi obviously sounded very excited.

Mikan smiled at this. "Yes. It would be nice to be back." She said, trying to sound please too for the good teacher, but her smile slowly faded at the thought of it again.

Of course, Mr. Narumi didn't see it, "Oh, Mikan-chan there will be a Masquerade Ball tomorrow night. The timing is just right for your arrival. The Academy requested you to perform for tomorrow night. Is that okay with you?" Narumi informed, hoping to hear a 'yes' from his favorite student.

Mikan sighed, if before, she was too shy to perform in front of a crowd. Now, she is somehow different and changed. She gained confidence about herself. She smiled and answered Mr. Narumi affirmatively, "Of course, sensei. It would be a pleasure to perform for the whole Academy."

"Oh, just great, Mikan-chan. I know you can do it!" Then Mr. Narumi said few more things before he ended the phone call.

Mikan was left staring nowhere after. She will finally be back to Alice Academy. She knew that everything have changed now. What would happen next after her arrival there? She could not help but muse about it. She knew she left a mark and impression hard to forget in the Academy for them to remember her. Being once a girlfriend of the infamous Hyuuga Natsume was enough for her to be popular in all sorts. Not because of her intelligence or talents that made her well known in the school, but, simply because of being the girlfriend of the famous Black Cat that made her known in the school population.

'Damn!' she cursed at the thought of him, again, but felt her hand shaking next. Not shaking for nervousness or fear, but, from excitement?

Yes. Excitement. She waited two years to officilally come back to the Alice Academy she once left. She waited for the day to be face to face to Natsume once again and show him, that's she is different from the Mikan before to the Mikan now.

The eyeglasses, braces, and the out-of-fashion dress were long gone and replaced by a beautiful and innocent face of the brunette. Living and training abroad really did a great part in her blossoming. From being the nerd and 'ugly' duckling she was before, has now turn to a beautiful swan.

"Thanks to Hyuuga." She mumbled sarcastiscally to herself.

Then a mysterious smile plastered on her face next.

"Tch. It's time for my sweet, tasty, revenge..."

At the Alice Academy the next morning…

Everyone is excited for the upcoming ball that's gonna happen that night. Everybody was busy here and there to prepare themselves. The Ball is the most awaited part of the Alice Academy's Annual Festival.

Everyone is excited about it aside for a certain raven-haired boy who is resting under the cherry blossom tree while looking blankly at the skies above. You couldn't guess what he is thinking right at the moment.

A pair of shoes approached him, but he still didn't bother to look at the intruder. Then the intruder sat beside him, while, patting his bunny.

"Ne, Natsume..." a blonde haired guy with ocean blue eyes, called. He seemed to be bother about something.

"Imai and you have a misunderstanding again." Natsume guessed, still not looking at his best pal.

Ruka, the Animal Pheromone Prince, stayed silent for awhile. "Yeah. You guessed it right." He admitted. "You see, I'm just late from our supposed meeting, she then became angry and suddenly decided not to be my partner to the ball tonight." Ruka sighed after saying it. You could hear in his voice that he is very bothered at the idea.

Natsume, this time, glanced at his best friend. "How long were you late, Ruka?"

Ruka who was hesitant at first answered his question while looking ahead of him. "Uhm...one hour and fourteen minutes?" he answered, unsure.

Natsume smirked. "It's your fault." He concluded.

"Yeah, yeah, it's my fault, but I need to do something very important-"

"Much important than her?" Natsume cuts.

Ruka bowed his head. "She's the most important to me, but I did an effort to tell her that I'll be late but the squirrel I tasked to tell her didn't reach her." He explained, desperately.

"Don't wait to lose her completely, Ruka." Natsume advised, but it sounded more for himself.

Ruka managed to read between the lines what Natsume is trying to say. He looked at his best friend, feeling pity to his fate. He then changed the topic. "Natsume, you are going to the ball tonight, aren't you?" he asked him.

"No." Natsume answered directly.

"But everyone are expecting you to come. Even Andou and Herizawa will attend," Ruka is talking about their two other friends who just graduated in the Academy. The Ball is for Alumnus also and the graduates are free to come in the annual festival ball. It is sort of like a homecoming event.

Natsume didn't bother to respond about it and just placed the manga on his face.

Ruka just shook his head before standing up. Understanding that his best friend wanted to be left alone. "In case you change your mind, I left a suit in your room for you to wear." He started to walk. "Thanks for listening, Natsume. Hope to see you tonight." He then left.

When Ruka was gone, Natsume got the comic off his face, and stared on the blue skies again. He knew the efforts of Ruka and the others to get him out from his misery after she had left him few years ago. But it is so clear to him like what the skies are showing right now that it is his fault why he was in his own misery in the first place.
