Chapter 2: Small Talk

It took me a week to get used to how things are in Gakuen Alice. Thankfully my new found friends helped me a lot with it. There wasn't really much difference with how the system was in America and in Japan. And it seemed like even students here are as stiff and uptight as it was back in America. Or maybe it was just because they are both prestigious schools?

The upside would probably be the people or at least the ones I happen to interact with are more friendly and welcoming. But all in all, it wasn't that much of a waste in moving here. And I'm even starting to think that my parents were right. It was much better and I find myself smiling more these days and talking to people more rather than stuffing myself with a book and getting lost within its pages.

It was early morning and I was on my way to my first period class for the day. There weren't a lot of people yet since I found myself going to school earlier than usual. And as expected, when I entered the classroom I was the first one there. It made me smile brighter.

I made my way to my usual seat at the back of the classroom by the window and let myself be lost in my own thoughts. It was all innocent thoughts at first. It drifted from that movie I watched last night to the last book I read and then… to my shock to that crimson eyed guy whom I came to know as Natsume Hyuuga.

And as if on cue, I heard the door open. Curiously, I shifted my gaze to it and instantly found myself blushing a bit. There he was as handsome as the first day I have seen him. "Morning," I found myself saying before I could stop myself. My eyes widened a bit and my blush deepened. After all it was the first time I initiated to talk to him.

In turn, he looked at me for a while one of his eyebrows rose before nodding his head once. "Morning," I heard him reply.

For a few seconds I watched him go to his seat amazed beyond belief. In the week that I have been in Gakuen Alice, I have found out that he was pursuing the same career that I am pursuing. We are both dreaming to be accountants. It was the same reason why he is my classmate in most of my classes. In addition to that I have noticed that he mostly talks to the guys in the classroom. It was rare for him to talk to the girls. And somehow, hearing him greet me back made my heart beat faster.

I didn't know I was staring for quite some time now until he cleared his throat and once more raised an eyebrow. "Is there something on my face?" he asked and I noticed that his voice has a sexy, husky ring to it.

"U-uh," I found myself saying before clearing my throat. I was totally aware that I was embarrassing myself. "Sorry."

I shifted my gaze to the front just to hide my embarrassment from him. It was nerve wrecking. It's not like I haven't talked to any boys. Don't get me wrong. I have friends that are boys but somehow when it comes to him I don't know what happens inside my head.

I glanced at the clock in the classroom just to distract myself from his presence. There's still 30 minutes before classes start. In my head I was already saying a silent prayer that some of our classmates would finally arrive just to break the awkward air. But it seemed like no one would arrive for a few more minutes.

Finally, the awkwardness was too much for me. I mastered my courage and chance a glance towards him. He was busy with his phone probably playing a game or something. I cleared my throat loudly and he looked up. "Er…" I said. "Do you think there's going to be a recitation again like last time?" I mentally kicked myself. That was the lamest thing to ask.

He shrugged his shoulders. "Probably yes," he said at last. "Although I'm hoping I won't get called."

"Why is that?" I asked him curiously.

"Wasn't able to study today's lesson," he replied in a matter of fact tone which I could not help but let out a giggle. He raised his eyebrows in question. And I blushed once more from embarrassment.

"You look like you're the kind of guy who studies is all," I said in shaky embarrassed tone.

He let out a smirk which caught me off-guard. Wow. He was really handsome. And at that moment I could not help but admit to myself that I might have a small crush on him. "That just proves to one doesn't it?" he said and I tilted my head to the side in question. His smirk grew. "Never judge a book by its cover."

Once more I found myself letting a giggle out. "Hmmm. You're right," I said. "I'm Mikan by the way. Mikan Sakura."

"I know," his silky voice replied which made my heart skip a beat. " I'm Natsume Hyuuga." 'He knows,' I repeated inside my head. Was he paying attention to me? Is he showing the same interest as I have on him?

And the next thing I know after our formal introduction with each other is that we were talking about almost anything and everything. I never really imagined when I woke up that day that we would end up in this. We were just enjoying each other's company. Well, I don't know about him but I was surely enjoying his. And he was such a fun person to talk to albeit his seemingly cold demeanour.

Our conversation was then cut when the door once more opened. This time two of our classmates appeared. One of them was one of his friends. He has a sandy blond hair and he greeted Natsume in a jolly manner. I knew our time was up. I looked back at him and was a bit taken a back when he too was looking at me. I smiled slightly before I once more returned to viewing the scenery outside. Slowly, the room was then filled with our classmates. And before I knew it the bell signaling the start of the class rang.


So... that's it for the 2nd chapter. Well. I know it's all over the place right now. I'll try my best to write something interesting. Anyway, hope you enjooy it mah friends!
