The World Will Never Find You

It was a typical day at Alice Academy.

Mikan tried to hug Hotaru, Yuu helped Mikan get up, Mikan greeted Ruka and Natsume, Natsume just walked on, And Narumi walked into the class room. Everything was completely the same...

"Good Morning class! We will be having a masquerade to celebrate the end of the school year!" Narumi-sensei explained as he greeted the class.

"What's a masquerade Narumi-sensei?" Mikan asked their teacher completely clueless of the word.

"A masquerade is a dance where we all wear masks." Yuu happily explaining to the clueless Mikan.

"Precisely. It will be held this Saturday at 7pm. The setting will be like the late 1800s so think 'Phantom of the Opera' everybody! Adieu!" Narumi bid them goodbye in his normal feminine manner.

But Narumi poked his head in before he closed the door.

"Remember, the two people with the best costumes will be crowned the king and queen" Narumi said before finally leaving

Mikan quickly sunk to the floor. Not having a clue about the 1800s and about not having a costume

"How will I get a costume now!" Mikan screamed wallowing while kicking and screaming disturbing the entire class.

"You can always buy one" Hotaru quickly said while finishing off her Crab Brain snack.

"Yeah but I don't have enough money...unless.." Mikan then started moving closer her bestfriend.
"Maybe you could lend me some...

BOOM! Out comes Hotaru's horse hoof glove

"You should know better. And besides you could always make one" Hotaru said not changing her cold expression one bit.

"Hey you're right...But I don't know how to sew!".

Mikan quickly returned to her wallowing. Unknowingly a boy who she never thought cared was secretly listening to every word she said.

'So she needs a dress. I guess I could always give her a dress as a present'

-----------End of first chapter----------------

It's been 5 days since Narumi first made his announcement. Everyone was completely ready even a not so eager Natsume. Mikan tried to sew her gown but it looked like a dish rag that was peed on. She almost butchered the fabric trying to unstich her mistakes.

In the end she decided not to attend "I'll never finish this dress in time".

She had decided to throw out the fabric in a trashcan. She left her dorm in the middle of the night trying to find the staircase. She couldn't see one darn object.

"For a really smart school they can't even put a hall light!" She exclaimed. Not knowing she was closer to the stair case than she thought when all of a sudden..." "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"Do you know how much you've injured me with your klumsiness?" Natsume exclaimed!

"Why are you here anyway Natsume-kun?" Mikan asked angrily.

"I was here to ask your ugly face out." Natsume said seriously but in a sarcastic tone.

Mikan taking this a an insult stormed down the staircase leaving Natsume
