A/N: Grr! I'm really bad about keeping promises... :( I said I might update by January but I didn't know I had time to update today... I'm REALLY sorry! I think you might not forgive me anymore...
I'm just joking! I'm going gaga-in-drama already. :)) But really, I'm really sorry for confusing you. I didn't know I had vacant time today...
Here's Chapter 8. I think it's a bit short again. Waah :'( But I hope you still enjoy it. Reviews please! May it be criticisms, it's fine, really. If you could locate my mistakes, much better! I would really appreciate any review you give. ^_^
Disclaimer: Higuchi Tachibana-sama owns Gakuen Alice. Not me! Well, if I would own one, it would be so delightful. But I think that won't happen.
Thank You, for those who reviewed in the previous chapter, Chapter 7.
moonacre99 ~ I'm glad you liked it! And I noticed you've been reviewing in every chapter. Thanks for being loyal! I really appreciate it! Hope you keep on reviewing!
Lanel ~ I won't allow myself to disappear without finishing my story yet! Hahaha. I'm just joking. Don't worry, I'll try my best enjoying writing the following chapters because when I wrote the previous chapters, I'm not that confident enough if you all would like it or not. Merry Christmas too! Hope you enjoy the holiday. ;)
amulet-anime7 ~ Thanks! :D
JuSt To RaNdOm ~ Yeah, and Mikan wasn't acting that time! (She even said she can't) Wonder what Mikan's mom ate that made her like that? Maybe the food she bought for dinner…? Then her two sisters might turn a bit nicer too! HAHAHA! XD
abbyciel ~ The typical Cinderella has natural two evil sisters, but this is my nerd girl version of Cinderella, so I made a lot of changes! Will they be nice on the following chapters or not? Or am I just trying to confuse you? Well, you have no choice but to read more on the following chapters! Anyway, what a long review you have! That's okay, it's better if it's longer ;D I'll make this response long too. ;;) I know most of you prefer more NXM moments, but I'm saving all of it in the next few chapters, so that you would have a delightful read! So, I won't be taking so long. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year to you too! ^_^

crimsoneyes: I was thinking of how Jinno-sensei got his frog on his shoulder… I mean, when I started studying in Gakuen Alice, I didn't notice that frog before… or maybe I forgot how he got it. Who knows? Maybe Misaki-sensei might be interested in dissecting it. Haha! And it even joins with Jinno-sensei as he speaks! Talking about a familiar, huh?
girlgenius01: LOL! I noticed that too. But since I just transferred to Gakuen Alice on my first year in high school, Jinno-sensei already has that frog in his shoulder that time.

crimsoneyes: Then that means the friends who now hated you were with you for 3 years?
girlgenius01: Yup. But there's this one friend I had who was my classmate since elementary. We were classmates on our old school but she transferred on her second year in middle school since her parents found out she had a best friend like me, with such a social status in life that they had to transfer her to a prestigious school, and that's when they discovered Gakuen Alice. I suppose u could call it 'social discrimination.' That was also the time when her parents became famous entrepreneurs, that's why their finance status progressed so fast.

crimsoneyes: Ah… now I see. Now that I have known u better, when can we finally meet?
I texted him back. But as I texted him back, at that very second, the bell rang, signaling the end of break time. So I headed straight to class as soon as I heard the bell.
And at that moment…
You have 1 message! *plays tune*
girlgenius01: Maybe soon! ;)
*closes lid of phone*

Mom: And by the way,…
Me: Hm?
Mom: You're no longer grounded anymore.
Me: Thanks!
I showed my cheerful self again, and this time, to my Mom. For the first time. And with that, she also let out a petite smile showing her own style of gratitude.

Now he mentioned it, it's time for Misaki-sensei's Chemistry class. Wonder what we'll do today?
Misaki-sensei: This morning, we will have a lab activity about the formation of acids and bases. Since you will be doing it in pair, I will be pairing you each with a lab partner, so that there will be a chance of one student to have a partner since whenever I let you choose, one or two ends up without a partner. So I'll be pairing you now…
Umenomiya, and Ibaragi…
Ogasawara, and Otonashi…
Nogi, and Shouda…
Aww… too bad I wasn't paired up with Ruka. I'm even planning to be paired with him since; of course, he's the only friend I'm close with at the moment. But let's see who I will be paired with…
Misaki-sensei continued with the pairings.
Yome, and Kitsuneme…
Yuu, and Mochiage…
Koizumi, and Wakako…
And lastly, Hyuuga… and Sakura.
Whaaaaat. Of all of my classmates, why does it have to be him? This day might be one of the worst days of my life. I really have the nerves for that guy…! There are really a lot of reasons why I hate him that much. I could just remember one situation from before. There was this certain girl who put much effort in making a cake for Natsume, but you know what he did? As soon as he was about to accept it, he frantically threw the cake on the girl's face. She was so embarrassed, since a lot of students had witnessed it. You know what? If I were the girl from before, he might not have a nose anymore caused by my powerful punch.
Misaki-sensei: Now that I have paired you up, we will now proceed to the laboratory room. Be sure to be with your partners already.

Natsume: We meet again, nerd girl. Long time no 'talk.'
I turned my back and ignored him at once. With that, I noticed him smirk with pride written on his face. Then shortly, I noticed my right ear was getting hotter, until I knew he was about to whisper something.
Natsume: Still angry, eh?
Me: Why, you…!
I could feel my ears flaming up. Who could stand up this person? Probably his fan girls. I mean, once they see him, they would squeal that it almost make my ears bleed like crazy. He's not that hot, to be honest. An arrogant, selfish jerk like him, hot? As if.
As we all reached the laboratory room, he turned serious as we were about to start the experiment. Weird. A while ago in the classroom, I just noticed him reading his favorite manga, sitting as highly as possible. What has gotten in his mind? Anyway, as we were doing the activity, we were acting… normal. It was like he was not my partner. The truth is, he was even the one who demonstrated the activity first! And he even looked like he was having fun. I was thrilled by his sudden change of attitude, and with that, I was lost in the current situation, and I think he noticed me staring at him.
Natsume: What are you looking at? I suppose you have taken a liking on me, eh?
Me: Wha- …In your face! You take that back! Like hell would I like you!
Natsume: Hn. Just as I thought. This nerd girl really is interesting.
To kill the time that was supposedly free time since we finished the activity early, I took the time to text with crimsoneyes.
girlgenius01: Grr…! This day really is one of the worst days of my life. But I still remained my self composure. So, how's ur day? I hope I'm not disturbing u in class… :)

As I sent my message to him, Natsume's phone suddenly rang, and I realized it that fast since; of course, he was next to me. When I rolled my eyes, I suppose he received himself a message. And while he was reading it, he seemed to show a gentle smile, a smile I've never expect from him. But I noticed something suspicious. As I sent my message to crimsoneyes, Natsume received a message himself, and I noticed the length of time was the same as the speed as how my phone sends a message. Hmmm… wait. I think I've come up with something.
Could it be… that the arrogant and selfish jerk I have nerves with, Natsume Hyuuga, is my so-called secret admirer, crimsoneyes?

My, I must've drifted of to la-la land and now I've woke up from my adventurous dream.
A/N: I think there are really a lot of errors in this chapter, mostly grammar. I'm not that really an expert of English, you see... but I accept that fact anyway. I'm even too lazy to correct my mistakes... haha... lazy me!
Now this is REAL. This is my last update for the year, and I might still update by January, still every Saturday, but maybe starting on the third week of the new year. And sometimes, I might not update on consecutive Saturdays due to my writer's block. I hope you could bear with me. With that, this fic might take a long time to finish since this might take up to 15-18 chapters. If there will be a sequel, this will only take to 10 chapters or so.
Now that's my real statement. I hope you enjoyed this chappie! Please review! If your review is what you really want to say, or should I say, you're honest with your review, the better. I will try my best to improve my writing skills... :)
Well, that's it! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year again! Until I update again this 2010! ^_^
