Chapter 3

Author's note : Because I barely remembered the storyline for Boys over Flowers/Hana Yori Dango, this story will now loosely based on the two dramas. I'll just follow the theme, not the whole storyline.

After recess, Alice walked back to the classroom, wondering about what the boys told her.

What's B4? Is it some kind of band? Do they play music? It kinda makes sense because all of them look good…Hydron probably play the drums, Shun as vocals and bass, and Spectra as lead guitarist. Oh, and Ace would play the guitar as well… Alice thought.

On her way to the class, she spotted a group of students crowding at the noticeboard. Feeling curious, she walked up there , trying to dig out any bits of information about what's happening. She saw a black card (a/n: the bakugan gate card) pinned on the noticeboard with a memo with it.

"What's happening?" Alice asked.
"A student from class 3 was given the black card from B4!" a student responded.
"Black card? B…4?" Alice said.
The student turned to Alice and tried to explain it.

Apparently the B4 – composed of handsome students and Kings of Vestroia Academy – are students who even the teachers wouldn't dare to mess with. The leader is Shun Kazami, the grandson of the school's principal. Spectra Phantom, the music prodigy is also in B4, because he is best friends with Shun. The school's number 1 playboy, Ace Grit, and the one who has mafia connections, Hydron Zenoheld are also in the group. If you received a black card from them, they will bully you, make you as their slave and torment you until you decided to leave the school. Black card is their declaration of war.

Alice was surprised.

The boys – except Shun – looked so kind. They even invited her to eat lunch together. They smiled a lot, and Alice never felt scared around them – except with Shun.

Wait.

You are now our new toy!

Hydron said that. By 'toy', he probably meant that…

"OH GOD! WHAT DID I DO?!" Alice screamed.

She walked back to the class, fidgeting with her fingers and thinking about what she has done to the boys. She barely talked to them, or even touching them.
She hesitated to walk into the class, as she sits beside Shun. She peeked inside, and noticed that Shun was already sitting at his seat.

What should I do? Will Shun bully me in the class? What if he put thumb tacks on my seat? Or hide frogs inside my desk—

"Ms. Alice, class is about to start." The teacher said and asked Alice to go inside.

"Y-Yes!" Alice replied and went into the class heavy-heartedly.

As she settled in, Alice refused to look at Shun's face. She glued her sight on the whiteboard, and tried to not initiate any form of conversation with him. However, she felt that Shun was staring at her. Alice started to sweat, and her hand shivered.

"Are you not feeling well?" Shun asked.

"Me? U-uh, no! I think the weather is quite hot, he he…" Alice replied and wiped off the sweat on her forehead with the hem of her sleeve.

"Hot? But we're in an air-conditioned class." Shun said. "You're weird."

Shun returned to his book, and writes down the notes given by the teacher. Alice froze, and remembered that she's in an air-conditioned class.

I'm stupid.

As soon as the class ends, Alice packed her stuff, trying to leave before Shun tries to talk with her. Luckily, Shun didn't notice her. She sprinted off from the class, and ran down the stairs. As she ran towards the school gate, she noticed a student, about her age, staring at a tree. She figured that he could have a problem.

"Are you okay?" she asked.
"Uh..I'm…" the guy replied, and stared at the ground.

Alice noticed his name tag, and it seemed familiar.

Ah, that's the name of the person who gets the black card! Alice thought.

"You're the next target of B4!" Alice said.
"Yeah…and I'm the next one who is going to leave this school." He said.

Alice was shocked. He's not even bullied yet, and he already thinking to leave the school.

"Wait, they haven't done anything wrong to you, right? You can't just quit school like this!" Alice said.
"I know what will happen to me. Before it happens, I shall leave." The guy, Joe, said. "I guess I should forget about my dream too."

"Dream?"

"I came to this school so I could get good grades, and study medicine. My parents even sold their car, and took out their savings so I could study here. But now that I got the black card, I can't do anything but quitting the school." Joe said.

"You must have done something to them, right? They can't do anything to you unless you did something that pissed them off." Alice asked.
"I was in the same class with one of them, the school's Casanova, Ace. Recently, I scored the highest in class. Ace, despite being the handsome and rich kid, he is not good in studies. He probably felt jealous, and reported it to the other B4 members." Joe explained.

He was going to be bullied just because he scored the highest and made Ace jealous of him. If something little like that could make someone the next target of B4, what did I possibly have done? Alice thought.

Then, Alice made a decision that she's going to let Joe study in this school. Joe has a humble dream, and his parents already sacrificed everything for his dream. B4 can't do something to destroy his dream, that's unacceptable. Just because they are rich, handsome and influential, they just can't do this to a fellow student. This is a school, a place for us to study, and reach our dreams.

"Joe, I'll help you." Alice said.
"Huh?" Joe said.
"Don't leave the school yet. I'll protect you from B4." Alice said. "I'm going to teach them a lesson."
"B-but..uh..what's your name?" Joe asked.
"Alice Gehabich!" Alice replied.
"But Alice! You'll become their primary target if you pissed them off too much!" Joe exclaimed.

Alice grunted and rolled up her sleeves.

"They don't know me." Alice said and grinned.
