Yay!! Three reviews already! Thank you very much, peoples. Now to answer your question, missyJuliette, I was thinking Ivumei could have either gray hair or a dark brown color. Please tell me you opinion by reviewing the story. Thanks!
Tsubasa's POV
I was shocked. Here in the Special Abilities, we are one big family. We share everything (okay, close to everything). I didn't get mad though. Maybe she was just a bit self-conscious.
"It's okay, you can tell us. I mean, all Alices are different," I said cheerfully. She shook her head. I sweated a bit.
"Okay," I shrugged, trying to break the tension, "it's your call." I turned and walked away. The rest of the class still seemed a bit frozen, but then they soon broke into their regular chatter.
Ivumei's POV
I breathed out. I hate being put on the spot like that.
"Ivumei?" I heard Mikan say. I turned around. She look confused, even a bit sad.
"Why won't you tell us your Alice?" she asked, "is there something wrong?
I shook my head. I knew that eventually I'll have to use my Alice, but until then, I'm not going to reveal it. I hope.
The rest of class was all chatter. I didn't see the teacher anywhere, but didn't feel like asking Mikan or the other students. I heard my name come up a couple times. Inwardly, I blushed. I didn't exactly make the best first impression. Finally, the bell rang. Mikan dragged my arm again.
"Come on! Next is gym!" She smiled super wide. I smiled back, relieved that she wasn't upset at me anymore. We raced through the halls (well, she ran, I got my arm almost ripped from its socket). Then, we got outside.
"Wow! This is quite large!" I exclaimed, my eyes wide. My previous school had the tiniest gym. This school had a huge track and a giant field. A little to my left was a dodge ball field. Suddenly, a whistle pierced the air. A tough looking woman stood there.
"Okay, let's see how good your fitness is." she said. She pointed to some bars. Something prickled on my spine. Oh no. Oh no. I can't control my Alice too well when I'm doing something that physically exerting. Ridicule my self control all you want, but I have never been able to control my Alice completely. Maybe it's because of the nature of it. I shrank.
"Who wants to go first?" she asked. Mikan raised her hand.
"Me and Ivumei want to go!" she said. The teacher beckoned to us. Oh why, Mikan, why? I started to protest, but somehow I still ended up in front of the bar.
"Okay you two; I just want a simple flip. Mikan, you go first." The teacher took out her pencil and clipboard. Mikan backed up and got a running start. She grabbed the bar at her waist and did a front flip. Landing perfectly, she turned to me and gave me a thumbs up.
"Now you…," the teacher said, leaving a pause for my name.
"Arimoto Ivumei," I said. I took a deep breath and charged. Immediately I felt the hold on my Alice loosen. I jumped and grabbed the bar. Halfway through the flip, I felt the start of a whirlwind. I panicked and fell. The whirlwind died down. I felt relieved until I saw the teacher's face. She tsk-tsked me and I felt so ashamed. I quickly hustled away from the bar. And then, the headache started and I collapsed.
Natsume's POV
I was sitting with Ruka when Mikan volunteered her and that girl to be first. Of course Mikan would want to go first. After she did her flip, I turned to Ruka.
"Do you think the new girl is going to fail on her own or should I help her?" I asked. Ruka shrugged.
"Maybe we should just leave her alone," he said quietly. I sometimes don't understand Ruka. That girl irked me during our homeroom. I have the right to get back at her. When she started running at the bar, I lit a small flame under the bars. When she started to flip, I expected her to get singed. But for some reason, the fire was blown out. The thing was, there was no wind. That girl fell. She looked relieved for some reason. She could have seen the fire while she flipped and put it out. She was going pretty quickly. I started to get the feeling that there was more to her that met the eye. Then, as she was walking past me, she crumpled onto the ground.
Well, what do you think? Please review! Thanks! Please list any typos you see in a review! Thanks for reading!
