Hey, all! Sorry I took a while to update this one. I was stuck on writer's block. .
Thanks a lot to chris3169512 for editing and helping me a lot on my story especially when I had writer's block. She also helped me put more emotions in the Hotaru running away part. Thx so much!
Thank you to my reviewers -
crimsoneyes44- yes luna sucks. well you guys might get a teensy bit mad at me -flinches-, but the whole NxM thing doesn't come up for awhile. It's mostly Luna stuff. You will think Luna is even more evil after this...
Gixie- Yes, sad is what I aim for. It's supposed to be a really, twisted up, messed up, thing. Thx, my friend - chris3169512 is always on my back for that, so I get the character personalities pretty good :
dominiqueanne- yes and you will hate luna even more..

Disclaimer - I do not own Gakuen Alice. Sadly.
Thoughts are in Italics.
Around the streets of Gakuen Alice Academy, an average-looking blond girl wandered, hopelessly trying to find the entrance. To passerby, she looked perfectly normal, but they just had no idea what this "little" girl could do. The girl just breezed in through the gates with no interruption and headed off to the elementary principal's office. She stayed there for a long time, but the only thing heard was "I see."

Mikan's POV
I wake up as another day of school begins. Another day of acting, another day of lying to everyone, another day of pain. I walk quickly to school, silently. I'm tired of this life. As soon as I walk in, I see a…new girl. She has wispy blond, shoulder-length hair and coal black eyes. She's average height, but doesn't exactly look friendly. To put it simply, she looks cold. Like how I feel. Narumi-sensei introduces her, and for once, I actually listen. This girl interests me.
"Everyone, we have a new student, Koizumi Luna! Please welcome her!"
"I am Luna. Pleased-to-meet-you."
Loud whispers went through the class of, "Such beauty…", "How old is she?", "Where did she come from?", "What type of alice does she have?" "Let us see your alice." etc.
Loud coughs wracked her tender body.
"Listen, about Luna's Alice, I have to tell you something."
-cough-
"Luna is very weak"
-cough-
"Research shows that if you uses her alice, it will do a lot of harm on her body. So we have banned her from using her alice. So all of you don't have to ask about her showing her alice."
(A/N: This is the scene from Ch. 78 manga)
"This seems very suspicious. I mean, she could have at least told us what her alice was…" I think.
"Luna, please go over and sit next to that person over there."
-cough- -cough- -cough-
She goes over to our table.
"Luna, do you want to sit here?" I ask with a voice dripping in my "trying to sound friendly" tone.
-cough- -cough-
"Oh well, you can sit next to me!" I shout (un)happily!
"Hi," she says softly. "I am Koizumi Luna."
"I'm Sakura Mikan," I mumble.
"Shit!" I thought. "I think I blew it again! Ah well who gives a damn."
"She's like me," I think. "Cold and daunting, except I don't really show it. At least I try not to."
Hotaru's POV
I swear, there's something funky about that Koizumi bitch. I swear, when she was coughing, I bet she actually wanted to sit next to Hyuuga and wanted Mikan to switch with her. Those black eyes just spell trouble. She's a dangerous one, I bet. Not one to mess with.
I can't believe Mikan doesn't notice it.
I see those coal black eyes staring into Hyuuga's head, figuratively grinding dark black holes.
This is a tricky little girl. Got to watch out for her…
--
A/N- Right here, you may listen to Evanescence-My Immortal if you please. (Yes I know this song was the song in the last chapter, but this song is just so meant for this story : )
Class is almost over, but Mikan suddenly goes up to me in the midst of Narumi-sensei's lecture.
"Well you see, these are very useful be-"
"What are you staring at, Imai?" Mikan snarled. "Stop staring at Luna-chan. Your eyes are wrecking her beauty!"
"Could this actually be Mikan? This was nothing like the old Mikan. But then again, Mikan had changed…"
"Just keep to yourself and your stupid inventions. Nobody needs them anyways. Who cares about you? You're a loner, and a good-for-nothing. No one needs you. You're a hopeless case."
The whole class, and Narumi-sensei stare. Except for that Koizumi person. Hmm.. Mikan seems possessed. WTH?
"Then what about you? You have the Nullification Alice, I have the Invention Alice. The Invention Alice beats nullifying. Nullifying doesn't do anything."
"Well, I don't care. Just leave. We don't want you here."
"This is nothing like you Mikan! This is nothing like the Mikan that I used to know. Fine, I'll leave. Since you don't want me here."
My throat hurt from saying such harsh words to Mikan. But really, was she in her right mind?
--
"Stay away from all of us, Hotaru-chan," said Nonoko and Anna gleefully. "Leave now."
--
Class is over, and I walk into the buzzing hallway.
"I think it's best you leave this school for good. You're always in the corner, thinking about some strange inventions. You always blackmail me, and you hurt me. You should leave now!" yelled Ruka.
--
Hotaru ran quickly to her room. As soon as she reached it, she plunged immediately for her bed. She sobbed and tears ran down her face.
"Obviously, nobody wants me here. Why would they say such things? We were on such good terms before, of course, excluding Mikan. Well I won't stay where I'm not wanted. I'll leave."
I feel so hopeless. I feel so useless. No one needs me. I have no purpose in life. I must quickly stop being a burden to them. It hurts too much. I have to protect myself from the pain... I can't stay here any longer.
Flashback -
"What are you staring at, Imai?" Mikan snarled. "Stop staring at Luna-chan. Your eyes are wrecking her beauty!"
"Just keep to yourself and your stupid inventions. Nobody needs them anyways. Who cares about you? You're a loner, and a good-for-nothing. No one needs you. You're a hopeless case. "
End Flashback -
The coldness of her words echo through my mind. No one needs you.You are alone. That's the life you're forced to live. Loneliness. Despair.
Well I want to escape from it! I want, no- I need to escape from this pain.
She quickly got her emergency backpack and jumped through the window. To get past the guards, she brought Amanatsu to distract them. Goodbye, Amanatsu. You're forever broken.
Goodbye, Gakuen Alice.
I'll never see you again.
Goodbye Mikan,
I still miss you.
Oh, so Hotaru's running away? :0 Will they catch her? What does Luna do? Why did Mikan, Nonoko, Anna, and Ruka suddenly act like that?
Find out in the next chapter of Shadows and Regrets!
