Here's the revised second chapter 2. Unlike the first one this one had a more changes added to it. So, I do recommend you to reread it. I've deleted all of the OC characters from the original one thus it's a bit shorter.

I'll try to make the third chapter longer so please keep on reading and reviewing, thanks.

Tennis in an Alice World

Chapter 2

It was a bright Monday morning and Mikan's third day in Japan. Sakuno and her had gone around the neighborhood the previous day to help her get accustomed to the place and to get supplies for today, their first day of school.

The two were now walking down the front gates of the school, wearing the school's uniform, a green and white sailor's suit top with a pink ribbon, a green skirt, black socks and brown shoes. It looked cute in Mikan's opinion, especially the green color. It was a fresh color, the same as the color of grass and leaves. A nice change from the usual Alice Academy uniform.

"I hope we'll be in the same class, Mikan-chan," said Sakuno to Mikan who was walking right besides her.

"Yeah, it would be great if we are in the same class," Mikan answered. Her eyes darted back to the building. She had been here the other day to meet Sakuno's grandmother, but she had only seen the tennis courts and a part of the area around it, nothing else besides that.

Mikan soon spotted a girl running towards them. Her hair was tied up to two high ponytails and was wearing the same uniform as them. As she came rushing to them, she shouted Sakuno's name ever so loudly.

Sakuno seemed to know the girl for when she saw her; a smile crept up her face. "Tomo-chan," she exclaimed loudly.

"Sakuno, I just checked the bulletin board, where they had posted our classrooms' placements. We're both going to be in class 1-1." She said excited in front of her.

"Really, that's great," replied Sakuno, clearly as excited as the other girl.

Mikan tapped Sakuno's shoulder, "Um, Sakuno-chan?"

"Oh yeah, Mikan-chan, meet Tomoka, a good friend of mine since elementary. Tomo-chan, this is Mikan, she's the one who's going to stay at my house." Sakuno introduced them to one another.

"Well then, nice to meet you, I'm Mikan Yukihira. Just call me Mikan." Mikan said with a smile

"Nice to meet you too, Mikan-chan. My name's Tomoka Osakada. Please call me Tomo-chan too." She returned her smile. "Speaking of which Mikan-chan, I saw your name in the bulletin board too. You'll be in class 1-1, just like Sakuno and me."

"That's great! We'll all be classmates." Sakuno cheerfully said

"Come on, let's go to class together.'

XOXOXO

The bell had rung a few moments ago, signaling that class was over for the day. Some students had already left while others stayed to chat or finish putting away their books like Mikan was doing. Sakuno and Tomoka were standing right next to her waiting for her to finish.

"Okay," Mikan closed her bag, "Let's go Sakuno-chan, Tomo-chan."

They were walking to the entrance of the school, engaged in conversation when Sakuno said, "Hey, can we go the tennis courts first? I want to join the girls tennis club."

"I didn't know you play tennis Sakuno-chan." Tomoka stated.

"No, I don't." Sakuno shook her head. "I want to learn though."

"So that's why you bought that tennis racket yesterday," spoke Mikan. All of a sudden, a ring was heard.

"What's that sound?" Sakuno asked Mikan, where the sound had come from.

"Oh that's my phone." Mikan searched her bag to find her phone and looked at the caller ID. "It's from my mom. You guys go ahead, I'll meet you later at the tennis courts." Mikan said, rushing off to a quieter place to take the call. After disappearing from Sakuno and Tomoka's gaze, Mikan leaned against the wall and took the call.

"Hello?"

"Oh, Mikan honey. How's your stay in Japan?"

"It's great mom, but why did you call me?"

"It's about your badge and stars."

"What? What badge and stars?"

"The badge is for you to go in and out of the school as you please. Every student that's participating gets one."

"What about the stars? What are they for?"

"Remember the stars you used to get during your stay at the Alice Academy?"

"Yeah, what about them."

"The academy uses them to differentiate the bento they give out during in between the matches, so you need them. Your uncle just informed me that both your badge and stars are being kept by your principal at seishun academy. He said that you should take them as soon as possible and always wear it with you when you're at school or at one of the matches."

"Okay, but rather than that, I'm more concerned with my racket. I still don't have one you know."

"Oh, about that. A friend of mine runs a sports shop near the house your staying at. She said that if you buy a racket at her shop, she'd give you a 70% discount."

"Really? That's great. Where is it?"

"I've got to go now, so I'll send the details over to you. Take good care of yourself okay, Mikan?"

"Yes mom."

With that the call ended and Mikan removed the phone from her ear. She looked at the phone's screen and soon, it vibrated with the sign 'you have a new mail'. She opened the mail and then put it back into her bag.

"Now off to the tennis courts." Mikan said to herself and walked off.

The tennis courts weren't far from there thus Mikan arrived there quickly. She immediately spotted both Sakuno and Tomoka standing near one of the courts with two other people.

"Hey, Sakuno-chan, Tomo-chan, what are you looking at?" Mikan waved a hand to greet them.

"Ah, Mikan-chan. You're back," Sakuno responded.

Tomoka, however, didn't looked like she heard her because she was too engrossed with the match in front of her.

"Go, Ryoma-sama!" Tomoka shouted and Sakuno turned to watch the game again.

Ryoma? Mikan thought, it couldn't be that Ryoma, right? Mikan turned her head to watch the match, just in time to see the boy performing a drop volley. It is him!

"Drop volley… I can't believe you can do that too," Mikan heard his opponent spoke.

Ryoma's opponent soon ended the game. He then went to put back his racket into his bag. Tomoka who was standing next to Sakuno grabbed her elbow. "Come on, let's go meet him."

"W-wait, Tomoka-chan." Sakuno said trying to keep up with her friend. They stopped right in front of Ryoma's bag

"I'm Sakuno Ryuzaki's friend, Tomoka Osakada. Nice to meet you" Tomoka bowed slightly.

"It's good to see you again, Ryoma-kun," greeted Sakuno

"Sakuno Ryuzaki? Who's that?" Ryoma answered, zipping his bag and carried it with his shoulder.

"You don't remember?" Sakuno said, disappointed. Mikan slipped in between Tomoka and the depressed Sakuno.

"You're Ryoma Echizen, right? Remember me?" Mikan asked

Ryoma raised his eyebrows slightly and with a surprised tone, said, "Mikan Yukihira."

All of the freshman's eyes were now upon them. Horio, Kachiro and Katsuo behind Ryoma and Tomoka and Sakuno behind Mikan.
