Chapter 3™


Narumi entered the class 2 – B and greeted the class, who were nosing around at that time, while walking –or rather sashayed– to his desk. "Ohayou Guzaimasu," he said cheerfully. The students took it as a signal to stop their goofing around and settled on their seats.

"Ohayou Guzaimasu!"

"Before we start," Narumi began. "I would like to announce that we have a new student here at 2 – B class. Her name is – uh...'' when he was about to gesture to Mikan, he found out that he was alone in front of the class. He walked to the door and opened it, earning a grunt from the other side. He peered through the door guiltily and found Mikan clutching her hands to her forehead.

"Mikan, are you okay?" Narumi asked, hurrying over to her side and checking her sore forehead.

Mikan sweatdropped and rubbed the sore spot just above her eyebrow. "I'm okay. I guess this is the punishment for eavesdropping."

Narumi laughed, "You didn't need to do that, you know. You should've followed me into the classroom earlier. Come on."

He was about to enter with Mikan but she suddenly halted her steps, "But...what if they don't like me?"

"You're going to be just fine, Mikan," he assured her. "In fact, I bet they're going to love you."

She didn't know what he meant in his last words but she decided to never mind it and they entered the classroom. The first thing she saw was Sumire and Hotaru on the first seats. She wondered how they got inside; maybe she didn't notice them got in. She hadn't put a lot of time in thinking that because she was already called by Narumi to introduce herself in front. She hesitantly approached the middle of the classroom and took a deep breath before speaking.

"Hello Minna!" Mikan said cheerfully, which caught the ears of those some who aren't listening and started to pay attention to her. "I am Sakura Mikan. I am 14 years old, my Alice is Nullification and I come from Miyazaki, Japan. I came here because I want to improve my Alice ability and meet new friends!"

Mikan ended her speech with a piece sign and her tongue sticking out on the side of her lips. The students were quiet after a while and, as if nothing happened, went back to their previous doings. Mikan let her body sag at the thought that she was a little too weird but then she was greeted by the sound of hands clapping. She turned around and saw a very buoyant Narumi clapping his hands while hearts started appearing from his back, scattering on the background.

"Kaiwaii, Mikan-chan!" he came up and almost crushed Mikan's face because of his endearing to her. She was surprised by the sudden change of the attitude of her Homeroom teacher. "Now why don't we have a student that's as cheerful, energetic and cute as Mikan is in the class?"

"Hey!" Sumire protested from the side of the room. Hotaru rolled her eyes and a few shot odd glances at Mikan and Narumi.

"If I am right there's still another here in the class that's a new student?" Narumi happily glanced at the class and saw Hotaru rising from her seat and walked quietly to the front of the class. She didn't change her facial expression as she faced her classmates, "I am Hotaru Imai. I am currently 14 years old and my Alice is Technology. I came here because I had to and because I was forcibly dragged here by Mikan Sakura." Hotaru looked at Mikan who winced and blushed madly.

"What an adorable friend you got there Mikan!" Narumi, who didn't notice Hotaru's...quite friendly glare, exclaimed. Mikan laughed uncomfortably while inching closer to the back of Narumi to hide from the wrath of her best friend. "Now please select a seat. I'm now going to start the class."

Mikan settled for the seat next to the window because it has a stunning sight of the woods. You could easily see a large portion of the academy through that window...plus she will eventually be uninterested on the lessons in class and not listen so if she sat in the available seat in front she will just get bored to death. When she sat down, she noticed some of the students glances at her like she was crazy and Sumire seemed like she was about to throw up at any second. Getting a bit conscious, Mikan looked down at herself and checked if there was anything wrong with her uniform but found none so she didn't mind them and proceeded on humming merrily.

As Narumi was about to sit in his desk, the door opened and revealed the crimson eyed boy with black hair. The students went quiet at the sight of him. They knew he was frustrated because he had an immense scowl on his face as he ambled his way to where Mikan was sitting. She wondered why he was heading that way when there were no more seats available in the back. Unless...

He finally reached his destination and it was in front of Mikan. He did nothing but to stare at her as if he was waiting for something to happen. "Move," he stated like it was the most obvious thing in the world; the annoyance in his tone was obvious.

"Eh?"

"Move," Natsume repeated, sounding more irritated than ever.

"No."

"What?"

"I said no," Mikan stuck her tongue at him –which earned some murmurs from a few of her classmates- and sat motionless. "I was here first so you can't do anything about it. I'm not moving."

Everybody in the whole room was well aware that the atmosphere in the room was getting tenser and they were starting to get scared. Natsume's crimson eyes stared intensely at Mikan who was getting a bit uncomfortable by the second.

"Natsume, you can go find another seat, right? Besides, Mikan-chan's right. She was there first," Narumi finally cut in when he got tired of all the no-talking. Natsume looked at Narumi for a while as if they were talking telepathically and after sometime Natsume straightened his stand and proceeded to the girl who was sitting behind her. The poor girl immediately rushed from her seat and sat to the chair in front. All throughout the period she could feel the intense gaze Natsume was boring in her back and she shifted uneasily a few times until the bell rang and Natsume quickly left the room. Much to the dismay of Mikan who wanted to talk to him and ask him what his problem was.

"You seem to be in a bad mood," Ruka assumed when he saw Natsume on the park, sitting in an ordinary tree alone and was staring at nothing.

"Hn." Was all he said.

"Is it because of that girl Mikan?" he sat beside and followed what he was looking at. Natsume still continued to ignore him.

"You know, he kinda looks like Azu-"

"Don't even try." Natsume suddenly came alive when he heard that specific name and finally acknowledged his presence. "Even if she looks like her, she will never replace her and don't even dare say that they have the same attitude or the same tone of voice or the same way they boss me around."

Ruka gawked at him in disbelief at the surprise of him confessing that he had a crush on Mikan. Natsume must have noticed and covered his face with his bangs as the blush creeping up his face was getting prominent. Ruka tried his hardest not to laugh but he found it very amusing that his best friend was acting this way since he last been like that.

"Besides," he said after quite sometime. "That girl is trouble. I tried to use my Alice on her but it didn't work."

Ruka smiled, "That's because her Alice is Nullification. She must've suddenly activated it without knowing because it's clear that she doesn't even know how to use it properly and with that no Alice can work on her; or maybe there are some but I can't tell which ones."

Natsume was intently listening to his friend though he didn't even realize it until Ruka stopped talking. He nodded and pretended to have no interest at the subject, "Well, I don't care about her."

His best friend smiled knowingly and they didn't spoke again at that time. He knows more than his best friend thinks he knew and he knew well that Natsume was interested in Mikan and was thinking about her right now. The only problem is that he was thinking about her too.

"Ow...OW! Sumire-chan it hurts!" Mikan wailed as Sumire pinched her cheek while she hauled her over the side of their dorm. They were heading over to their dorms and class was already over now so Sumire can punish Mikan to the fullest for sitting on the seat of the 'Almighty Natsume Hyuuga'. Sumire let go of her cheek –which was replaced by Mikan's hand circling the stinging spot- when they entered Mikan's room. Hotaru went past them and to her room because she has no time and interest in listening to the fury of Total Fanatic Sumire in its full rage.

But Sumire didn't do anything at all. Instead she just sat there and angrily scowled at her for what seems like eternity until she jumped up again and raised her hands to her hips. "Well?"

"Uhm...what am I supposed to say?" Mikan scratched the back of her head.

Sumire allowed her hands and body to drop and straighten again to prepare for her speech, "For starters, you should say that you will never do anything that stupid again. You should also ask forgiveness from Natsume, give his chair back and promise him that you will never bother him again."

"What?" Mikan exclaimed incredulously. "But he-" She tried to talk her out of it but one look from Sumire she surrendered (imagine her in chibi form holding a while flag), retreating to her bedroom. Nearly two hours later, after Sumire completely dominated Mikan's living room by watching some movies she brought and leaving Mikan to brood inside her not so well-stuffed bedroom, Sumire heard a knock on the door. She frowned, who would come there in such an ungodly hour? Just as the second knock came, Mikan's head popped out from her partly open bedroom door.

"Who's that?" She asked, coming closer to her and propping herself next to her. Sumire shrugged and stood up, going for the door. At the moment she unlocked the door, all of a sudden there was a loud roar of greeting from Mikan's classmates (except for Natsume and Ruka who were standing silently at a corner of the wall) from the other side of the door. But they suddenly became quiet when they realized that it was Sumire in front of them.

"Are we in the wrong room? Why are we in the wrong room? Koko, you said this is her room!" One of the girls with glasses, Anna, exclaimed at Koko who was also Sumire and Mikan's classmate. Sumire wondered what they were all (especially Natsume and Ruka) doing there but she answered her question, "No, it's her room. Wait a second; I'll go get her...MIKAN!" She called to the back of the door and immediately Mikan appeared by her side. She looked at her guests and when they saw it was her, she was almost blown across the room at how loud the tone of voice her classmates made.

"WELCOME TO GAKUEN ALICE!"

A/N: I personally want to THANK those who write reviews for my story. It really means a lot and...and...now I'm gonna cry! Haha, yes, I'm very emotional (ask everybody). Anyway, I'm profusely sorry I haven't got the chance to say thank you in person to those compassionate (yes, I can also be deep) people who write reviews but I promise to write PMs to you^^ and it will be looong =) Okay! These are the questions you the readers (or most likely _ haha. Pease!) asked.

1.) Is mikan and permy in same room as permy enterd mikan's room without knockng? It mite b stupid 2 ask bt stil.

Mikan and Sumire aren't in the same room together. As you can see they're close and so they don't need each others permission to enter the other's room whatever the other may be doing^_~ haha. Plus Sumire ges lonely really, really easily so she goes to Mikan's room just so she can pass time...

2.) U includ hokkaido isn't this place famous for flowers.

Oh, sorry^^ i didn't know...but hey, it's fanfiction so I can make up anything right? =D
