Author's Note: It's really been a while, hasn't it? Even though it's Christmas vacation, I'm still busy with my vacation homework. I need to do this stupid project. God, I can't even believe teachers give us homeworks… on a vacation, to be exact! Sheesh, it's really killing me, I need to balance it actually. If I can't, then maybe I will delete all of my stories and retire. Sigh, well anyway, hope you enjoy! (The story starts with Mikan's POV)

Disclaimer: I do not and never own Gakuen Alice. However, the plot that I'm making now is mine. So nobody will try and plagiarize it. If you do, then you are considered as a "thief".

A Debt To Pay

Tsubame Sakura

I walked slowly towards the bathroom. People kept on looking at me with their weird faces. I shook my head and start on thinking the positive side.

At least they won't call me a geek anymore, I thought and I smiled, but then, after sometime, I frowned again, But it's much better than calling me as "Natsume's girlfriend" argh, that makes me sick. I can't believe that news went around the school in just one day! I covered my mouth and pushed open the door.

I looked at the mirror in front of me, I touched my head and closed my eyes, if I just didn't spill that damn orange juice on his damn laptop, then I'm probably having a normal life right now.

Then I heard the door open, "Haha, you really think so?—" The girl stopped talking once she saw my face, great that girl from the mall, well, this is really an awkward position for me.

"My, my Sakura, it's nice to see you here." She suddenly said, her lips forming an evil smirk. Then her friend smirked with her.

"Uh, yeah… same goes to you." I said, and I suddenly realized that the tone of my voice were sarcastic. She frowned and narrowed her eyes.

"Look here, Sakura. Just because your Natsume-kun's girlfriend, which I do not believe, it doesn't mean that you can just talk to me like that, loser," She said as her fingers formed an "L" and placed it on her forehead. Her friend laughed.

Well, at least someone doesn't believe in that crap, I thought as I sheepishly grinned. "Look here, Hobaeshi-san. Just because your popular, it doesn't mean that I have no right to talk to you like that, idiot," I said and I just murmured the word "idiot" which I know she heard.

"And, from what I heard from you, I thought you didn't care about losers?" I asked her, wanting a reply.

"I don't care about losers, Sakura." She said.

"But, why bother picking a fight on me, since I am a loser." I half asked half snorted, crossing my arms as it rested on my chest.

"I bother because you are now Natsume-kun's new toy. Just a warning, Mikan-chan," She said as she emphasized the word '-chan' as she formed a fake smiled, "…you better be careful." She said as she threw me a glare before leaving the restroom with her friend.

Okay, now that scared me, I thought as my heart skipped a beat. I went out of the restroom and proceeded to my class.

-After School-

I walked downstairs as I sighed, Stupid school, I thought. When I went down at the ground floor, I saw a group girls at about 4 to 5 of them stared at me with angry eyes. I sweat dropped and looked at them. They walked to me, and circled around me.

"Uh… wha-what is it?" I stuttered. As I backed away, when I hit a girl behind, I looked at her when she started to speak.

"Are you…Mikan Sakura?" She suddenly asked as she crossed her arms.

"U-umm…. What if I say yes?" I asked, as she narrowed her eyes even more.

"Come with us." She said as she started to walk behind the school.

"I-I can't you see I have—" I was cut off by the same girl, I backed away again this time my arms was covering my chest.

"I said come with us." She said, and I felt her "evil" aura becoming stronger.

"O-okay…" I said, and I felt really scared and nervous, what do they want with me?!

They pinned me at the nearest tree as I gasped in pain. I held my shoulder and narrowed my eyes to them.

"How dare you take our Natsume-sama by yourself," A girl started to shout.

Natsume…sama? At that time I wanted to laugh but I can't with my current situation. This is not the time to be laughing Mikan no baka!

"But I—!" I was again cut off when I felt mud being thrown at me. HUWAT?! I covered my face and closed my eyes. I couldn't hear what they were trying to say, is it because I'm starting to get dizzy?

-Natsume-

"Hey Natsume," A boy said as he put his arms on Natsume's shoulder.

"What?" Natsume said as he looked at the guy. The boy stared at him and said.

"I saw your girlfriend surrounded by your fanclub, is that even safe?" He asked, as he pointed at the school.

"What?" Natsume asked again as he narrowed his eyes. "Where are they?" He asked.

"I saw them going at the back of the school. Wow, Natsume, it's the first time you cared—" When Natsume heard that, he took his chance to run to their school.

The two guys were dumbfounded, "Wow," They said in unison.

"This serves you right, Sakura! For taking our precious Natsume-sama away!" A girl shouted throwing rocks at her.

"S-stop it!" I shouted but they didn't listen to me and continued on what they were doing.

It hurts, it hurts I thought as I covered my face with my arms. I will lose my consciousness pretty soon. I was already kneeling on the ground as I fell, but I am still aware on what's happening. What did I do to deserve this?!

"Hey! What are you doing to her?!" I heard a faint shout; it's from a guy's voice.

The girls ran away and my eyes are already half closed. He knelt down and warped his arms around my body to carry me. I couldn't see his face because the light was on my eyes; I see complete darkness on him.

"Hey, are you alright?" The guy asked.

'Na…Natsume?' I finally collapsed.

Author's Note: Well, what do you think? Review please! Hmmm... who do you think that who saved her from Natsume's fanclub? Natsume? Or... is it another person? Well, you'll see in the next chappie!!
