Alice Academy
Do you believe in equivalent exchange?
Have you ever experienced a tragic turning point in your life? You used to be content and okay with what you had and it gets taken away from you.
Mikan Sakura sure has. And so far, she hates it. Can you believe the coincidence?
She hates having to go away and having to move far, far away from her friends and… friends and… even more friends. She isn't exactly too fond of her parents.
Mikan dragged her trolley towards the ticket booth and bought 1 trip for Tokyo. She checked her watch; patience wasn't exactly in her vocabulary.
When the whistle signaled that it was time to go, she boarded the train and just sat there. Duh. What else did you expect her to do?
- - - - - - - - - - - -
"Natsume, are you sure about this?"
Gutnie Chabi, the one who spoke earlier, looked anxiously at a crimson eyed boy. He was a little around the overweight side… okay maybe little wasn't the best adjective.
"I've never backed out in any of my pranks, Gutnie. Besides, nothing can go wrong."
Natsume Hyuuga, the one being addressed by Gutnie, was the leader of their little group. Being good looking had nothing to do with it.
"We have 30 minutes, 51 seconds and 43 milliseconds before Sumire finishes."
Yuu Tobita spoke, stopwatch in tow. He was currently leaning against the railings of the Alice Academy rooftop. He pushed his glasses to the bridge of his nose, his eyes never leaving the object he was holding.
"The Shouda girl is now approximately 60 meters, 600 decimeters, 6000 centimeters and 46,046 millimeters to the destination."
Hotaru Imai, with her laptop resting calmly on the floor, said stoically. She trailed her lilac orbs towards the blinking dot that was moving south, turning left of right every so often.
Yuu looked up from the stopwatch,
"Are you sure she'll make it in time?"
The stoic girl rolled her eyes heavenward, an act of annoyance, before replying to the worried Time Keeper
"Of course."
"We only have 27 minutes, 32 seconds and 09 milliseconds left."
"She'd better make it on time."
The new speaker was Otanashi Yura. She tightened the grip around the railings and in a worried tone said,
"It's nearly over."
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"Thank God it's nearly over!"
The exasperated brunette nearly jumped for joy. Other train passengers looked at her. Like I said, she wasn't exactly patient, and waiting for several minutes to arrive in Tokyo took forever for her.
When the electronic doors of the rapid transit line opened, she was the first to go out. She hailed a taxi going to a hotel that belonged to her mother, checked in for free at the most expensive suit available before she went outside.
She hailed another cab…
Alice Academy could wait…
I need to eat.
- - - - - - - - - - -
"I really need to eat."
Gutnie was rubbing his huge stomach.
"Oh please, you always 'really need to eat'". Otanashi sent Gutnie an amused look, seeing the seething expression on his face.
Gutnie was about to reply, but was cut off by Yuu who seemed to be out of his wits.
"We only have 25 minutes left, 47 sec---"
"We don't need the seconds, please. It's annoying."
Hotaru rolled her eyes for the umpteenth time.
"Yeah right, like you don't read the millimeters as well."
"Will you guys stop it?" Gutnie interrupted the two arguing geniuses and bit his nails before saying,
"Big Joe's would be the perfect place to eat a burger right now,"
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
"Big Joe's?"
Mikan Sakura was currently riding a cab, she asked the driver about where good food was sold and she got the said answer listed above.
"How good is it?"
"Well, lil' lady, if you're lookin' for sumthin' good an' fas in this part o' the city then Big Joe's the place for ye! Best burgers I've ever tasted, at's for sure!"
Mikan, being the optimistic girl that she is, told the driver to take her there.
Arriving at a small fast food restaurant, she paid the driver and then said a hearty thank you. Mikan ordered a burger before going outside, hailing another cab.
While inside the cab she said,
"To Alice Academy, please."
The driver stared at her through the small mirror. Concluding that she wasn't smart enough he then asked her a question.
"You know you're supposed to take an exam right?"
"Yes, I'm ready for it."
The driver butted out of her business, not wanting to interfere.
"Oh, I hope you won't mind me eating here, I'm kind of in a hurry…"
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"You need to hurry!"
Yuu was speaking into a walkie-talkie, his voice frantic. He was talking to Shouda Sumire, scratching his head as he heard her groan.
"Yuu-san, I broke a nail!"
Natsume and Hotaru promptly rolled their eyes.
"Finish it already!"
Yuu heard the device cackle and the sounds of a screw driver were heard visibly.
This mission was important to them. This was the biggest stunt they have yet faced. Mission Objective: Flood the School by ruining the electronic plumbing system.
"Just… 5 more… minutes."
- - - - - - - - - -
The cab halted to a stop and Mikan could only stare at the huge gate in awe.
If the gate was this huge, what would the size be inside?
She paid the taxi driver who was smirking at her. There is no way in hell she would pass.
The walls were practically five stories high and the width of the thing: can you say humongous?
Mikan nervously walked towards the gate, the sleepy guard looked at her before saying rather lazily,
"Look kid, we got enough of trouble here. What's your business?"
Mikan restrained cursing at the rudeness of him.
"I'm here to take the entrance exam, my name's Mikan Cameron Sakura and…"
The guard's previously bored expression changed.
"Oh, sorry miss Sakura!"
The guard yelled at the top of his lungs towards the person above the wall,
"HOIST HER UP! SAKURA'S HERE!"
The gate creaked open and Mikan was led to the Administration building.
- - - - - - - - - - - -
"Shouda! Hurry up!"
Natsume was yelling at the walkie-talkie, with everyone surrounding him.
He was mad, oh yeah. They were 6 minutes behind schedule.
"I'm working as fast as I can, Natsume-kun!" Sumire whined.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
"Welcome to Alice Academy, Sakura-san!"
The head-master was addressing to her warmly and Mikan could only look at him, puzzled.
"I don't get to take a test?"
The old man laughed heartily.
"I know your brains, Sakura-san. You have quite a reputation."
The principal explained everything to Mikan, all the boring crap before finally giving her the key to her board room.
"But… my bags!'
"Already taken care of."
Mikan stared at him. How good can this school get!?
- - - - - - - - - - - -
"SHOUDA! HURY UP!"
Gutnie was turning red. He looked ready to explode, the need to eat vanished as the almost-mutilated walkie-talkie lay innocently in his huge fist.
Sumire was sobbing, "Really, 3 more minutes."
- - - - -
It was getting really dark, and as Mikan tiredly followed the guard to her dorm, she thought of how uneventful her day had been.
When she reached the double doors of her dorm, screams were suddenly heard.
I take that back.
The guard who had been accompanying her ran inside. After a few seconds, she then realized why they were screaming; the smell of pee and shit was strong and clear.
Alice Academy smelled like a sewer.
She watched as students hurriedly ran out of their rooms, trying to question each.
Finally, a blonde haired boy stopped and answered her,
"This is normal here. You know chaos. But this is just… bleargh! It's the G.O.T.H.S."
What?
- - - -
"YESSSS!"
Sumire screamed joyfully into the device.
"I did it!"
The other 4 were not pleased.
"This was not the plan, Shouda. You're out."
Natsume crushed the walkie-talkie before throwing it away as it fell, 7 stories below.
"Shouda Sumire is out of our group. We'll look for another one."
The group members looked at each other worriedly.
- - - - - -
"This happens, like, everyday?!"
The shocked brunette asked her new found friend, Ruka Nogi, thinking her ears heard wrong.
Ruka merely laughed,
"Yup, welcome to ALICE ACADEMY!"
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Sorry if it was boring…
