Chapter 3 : When They are Becoming Friends
It has been a week since Alicia's arrival in Gakuen Alice. Alicia is becoming a popular girl again and everyone treats her nicely. And Mikan still hasn't became closer with her, because Natsume protect Alicia so much. Even he doesn't let Alicia alone, just for a second.
"Wow, Alicia has a special star~" yelled Mikan, surprised.
"Alicia has been here for a week and you just awaking to it for now?! How stupid are you!" shouted Permy.
"She's the only girl that has a special star in the elementary school division," said Ruka with a smile. Mikan feels surprised.
"Oh, Ruka! You're here! It has been a rare chance to see you after Alicia arrived," Mikan smiled with her dazzling eyes.
"Sorry… we were turned around this school," answered Ruka.
Mikan is nodding, then watching Ruka walked to his chair when Natsume called him. Now, they are not two boys anymore when they are hanging out. They are two boys and one girl now.
So… Alicia is their childhood bestfriend, huh?, Mikan thought.
The days just passed by normally. Mikan with her friends, and Alicia with her friends too. They are enrolled in a same class, but they have their own world. They seems to be lived in two different worlds for each other. The quite-famous-Mikan and the school's-sweetheart-Alicia are so different. Even they haven't talk too much.
And the first reason of their strange relationship is the super-possesive-Natsume. He always in Alicia's side, whenever and wherever it is.
"What the hell does he do?! He looks more like a stalker than a bestfriend!" Mikan murmured, can't understand everything in Natsume's mind.
But one time, Natsume is leaving the class without Alicia. He is leaving with Ruka. Just the two of them. "I wanna go to the toilet. Watch yourself, Al," Natsume said. Alicia is nodding.
After a minute since Natsume left, Alicia is walking to Mikan's side. "Finally I can talk to you, Mikan. I always wanted the precisious time like this!" she said, looked happy.
Mikan is shocked. "Did you mean… you wanna talk with me?" asked her, slowly and carefully. Alicia is nodding with her happy face.
"Yes, of course! I love making new friends, but Natsume always keep his eyes to me. Even Ruka does it too!" screamed Alicia, looked frustrated. Mikan is glaring.
"What? Ruka does it to you? It's so overstate!" said Mikan, shocked. Alicia is nodding for one time, then smiling again.
"Yeah, but I'm just having fun with these all. After all, they're just intending good… by the way, do you want to accompany me to the library?"
"Library? Umm… okay!" answered Mikan.
It will be good if I'm hanging out with Alicia. She looks nice!, Mikan thought.
So, they are walking outside the class, passing by the corridor and going to the library. They are chatting so fun. But after a few minutes, a red haired girl is hugging Alicia from her back.
Mikan is shocked, same as Alicia. The girl is soooo sweet. Pretty. She has red hair, big innocent eyes—they are dark purple, her skin is so soft and she has long layered hair. So cute. And she looks like a spoiled girl.
"Kyaaaaaa~ Chia-chan~ so the rumors are true! You've coming back!" she yelled, sounds so spoiled. Alicia is looking that girl.
"Kumi! I'm so glad to see you!" screamed Alicia, hugging that girl. And when they are hugging each others, Mikan is standing near them, with her shocking face.
"Oh, Mikan, she's Kumi… my bestfriend," told Alicia, introducing that Kumi girl to Mikan.
"Hello, Mikan! I've heard a lot of you, Honey! And I bet, you don't know who I am, rite? Hehe, it's alright! I'm not famous~ Well then, I'm Kumi from D classroom~" said Kumi, shaking Mikan's hand.
"Nice to see you… Kumi-san," answered Mikan, still shocked.
"C'mon~ don't call me like that! I feel older than you, Honey! Just call me Kumi, okay?"
"Well then… how about Kumi-chan?"
"Wow~ it's nice! So I'll call you Mii-chan too, hehe. Is it okay?"
"Yes, of course!"
"Well then, we wanted to go to the library. How about you, Kumi?" asked Alicia.
"Uh? Poor me, I wanted to go to the toilet. But, dare you didn't tell me that you've arrived here!" yelled Kumi, crying so cute.
"Sorry… I wanted to tell you and I always take a peek in your class, but you weren't there everytime I come."
"It's okay, Chia Baby! Well, I'm going to the toilet now. I'll see you in your room this night, Chia~ Toodles!" Kumi said, then running away to the toilet.
"She is so energic, right?" murmured Alicia, smiling strangely. Mikan is nodding, still shocked after all.
And after that time, they are becoming bestfriend though…
A few weeks later, in the students' lounge…
"Hey, Alicia, you're hanging out so well with Mikan these days. Do you like her?" asked Ruka when he is caressing his bunny. In front of him, there are Alicia and Natsume that sitting in a same sofa. And beside him is Kumi, the girl from D class. This time only they four that spending time in the students' lounge.
"Yes, of course! She's so nice, so cute. She's so caring," answered Alicia.
"Uuugh… I wonder if Chia is getting forget me~" said Kumi, disappointed.
Alicia is flicking her hand. "No, Kumi! You're my bestfriend! I won't forget you! These all just because we aren't studying in the same class," she answered. Kumi is smiling complacently.
"I don't want you two get along too much," said Natsume, sounds superficial but so emotional.
"What?! With me?? Whoooaa Natsu-chan, how could you dare to say something sensitive like that? Even I've been Chia's friend since you two still haven't coming here!" yelled Kumi, crying just like anime style. Natsume sighed.
"Not you, spoiled girl. I meant Alicia and Mikan," answered Natsume. "Besides, I don't really care about you."
"Oooh~ So you are caring Mikan so much, don't you?~" teased Kumi. Natsume is starting make some fire.
"Stop it, Natsume! And Kumi, you know how sensitive Natsume, right?" Alicia cut off, before Natsume start burning Kumi. "Why, Natsume? Why do you want me to keep a far distance with Mikan? I wanna be her friend, after all."
"Because she's weak. And it means, she can't protect you just like we protect you. Besides, she's so careless. You need extra eyes for monitoring you," answered Natsume.
"But, Natsume… I think it's so overstate. I mean, Alicia is so strong to protect herself. Even though she's with Mikan, she still can protect herself…" Ruka cut off.
"No, Ruka! I just can't believe Mikan about this thing! And she doesn't know anything about this part, though…" screamed Natsume, angry.
"About that side, it's your fault after all, Natsu-chan. You didn't allow Alicia tell the truth to Mikan, right?~" said Kumi, straightly. Natsume is closing his mouth, silent.
" Enough," said Natsume, then leaving the room. Alicia sighed. Kumi is looking up for Natsume with her innocent face. Ruka just shaking his head wistfully.
"That attitude… it isn't my fault, right?" asked Kumi to Ruka. Ruka just raising his shoulders.
"He's a riddle, just like what you said," answered Ruka.
