Most of the characters of the same gender are the same ageI walked cautiously into the room not knowing what I was going to find. I didn't really have that big of an idea as to what I was going to find but it was somewhere along the lines of torture devices, and small cramped rooms. As it would turn out the room was completely different from what I expected to find.
The room that I walked into was a nicely sized living room that comfortably fit a couch and a love seat. Along with those things there was a coffee table and a flat screen TV that sat next to a bay window that beautifully lit up the room. I looked outside the window to find that there was a fenced in balcony with a table and chairs.
When I looked to my right I found a doorway that looked like it led to the kitchen. I walked through it to find a pretty good-sized kitchen. It wasn't overly huge or small, but felt comfortable to be in. It had granite counter tops and sleek black appliances; there was enough room for a table so that's where the dining table was located.
I walked back out to the living room and went on to the next room. When I walked through the hallway I found a doorway on my right and went through it. When I walked inside the room I couldn't believe my eyes. The bedroom was huge! It had at least three bookshelves full of manga and books as well as a sitting area. Next to that was a desk with a Mac Book laptop. Placed in the middle of the far wall was a huge king sized bed. It had leopard printed sheets and about a dozen pillows to make it feel more homely.
Inside the bedroom was a grand bathroom. It had a Jacuzzi like bathtub with a separate shower on the opposite wall. They're same type of counter tops were used as sinks, yes as if one wasn't enough there were two sinks. The thing that surprised me the most was a walk-in closet. Usually men tend to not have many clothes, and therefore have no need for a huge closet. But boy oh boy did this guy have a lot of clothes, and just like his personality most of them were black and torn.
I walked back out into the hallway once I was finished gawking at his room, and started farther down the hallway once again. I was surprised to once again find a room that was about the same size. It looked to be a little smaller but it was still bigger then my room back home. It surprised me that the room was almost completely empty except for a few boxes. I shrugged it off and started to wonder my way back to Natsume. He was sitting on a couch with a manga reading.
"Do they seriously consider this a room? Its bigger then my house back home. Are they all this big."
He didn't bother to look up when he answered me.
"No just mine and a few others." His tone told me to leave him alone. Seeing as how I didn't get any answers to anything since I came here I was determined to get some from him.
"Are all rooms different sizes and you just happened to be special and got this one?"
"Oi, don't you have anything better to do then to sit here and pester me with questions?"
"Hmph! I see how it is, fine then I'll go and find Narumi-Sensei." I said and stomped off.
After looking around for a while I didn't seem to be able to find Narumi so I decided to do a little exploring in the middle school section of the campus. One of the teachers earlier told me that I wasn't aloud to go to the higher section unless I had permission from a Senpai so I just wanted to look around here for now. After a few minutes I found myself in the dining hall, and at the sight of food my stomach started to growl.
"Maybe I'll just go and see what they have." Believe it or not while letting my nose lead me to the food I ran into Narumi.
"Mikan-Chan! How are you settling in?"
"Its ok, Natsumi's room is really big." Narumi was about to reply but my stomach interrupted him by growling.
"I suppose you would be hungry, after all you haven't eaten since yesterday."
Narumi bought me some food and carried my tray over to a table full of kids that looked to be about the same age as me.
"Everybody, this is Mikan. Starting tomorrow she will be a student here at Gakuen Alice and will be in class 3B along with most of you. Why don't you all introduce yourselves?"
"Ohyo Mikan-Chan, my name is Yuu Tobita, and this is Anna, Nonoko, Sumire Shouda, Ruka Nogi, and Hotaru Imai. We are all very pleased to meet you I'm sure." He said pointing to every body while saying their names. Since I like people so much it's easy for me to remember everybody's names. The boy who's name was Ruka looked like he was blushing but he quickly looked away so I wasn't sure.
"Wait did you say Hotaru Imai? I thought you forgot about me when you moved because you never called or wrote to me." I said running over to give her a big hug. She turned those cold eyes that I remembered so much from my childhood to me.
"Get away from me you Baka." She said while pulling out a giant fly swatter with the words Great for use on big bugs and stupid Baka's written on it. The next thing I knew she swung it and sent me flying. When I came back down I popped back up and started to cry.
"Hotaru, why are you so mean to me?" I Whined, a second later I cheered up and started to talk to her.
"So how have you been while you were away? I haven't seen you for like eight years."
Everybody including Narumi was looking at us like we had our heads on upside down.
"How do you two know each other?"
"We both lived in the same village before she moved, after that we never really heard from each other." They seemed content with that answer so they let it go.
Sumire, the snobby looking one was glaring at me so I asked her what was wrong.
"Ugh please don't tell me that you are the one who is staying with my Natsume, and are his new partner. It's a total disgrace if you ask me, you don't deserve his protection."
Everyone at the table fell silent at her comment. I can usually get along with anybody but it might take a little more work to get along with Sumire.
"Well on that note, why don't you go back to your room and catch some shut eye Mikan-Chan."
Narumi walked me back to the room and said his goodnights. I walked back into the room and put my bag down next to the door. It bothered me how Sumire had said 'my Natsume' but I couldn't figure out why. After a few minutes of contemplating I shrugged it off and went to find Natsume.
I found him in his room just coming out of the steaming bathroom. I figured he took a shower and that sounded like a good idea.
"Don't you dare come in and peek." I said shutting the door, and made sure to lock it. I decided to take a bath to let myself think. Narumi and the other teachers told me that I would find out about everything that was going on tomorrow, but I wanted some answers now. For example, why are those men after me and what does it have to do with my mom. Speaking of that, how in the world did Natsume get flames to come out of his hands when he saved me.
I shook my head and got out of the bath, letting the rest of my thoughts go hoping I would get some answers tomorrow. I walked out to find Natsume lying on his bed once again reading manga. That's when it dawned on me that there was only one bed and two of us.
"Uhm Natsume?" He tilted his head to signal he was kind of listening. "Where am I supposed to sleep?"
"The movers are supposed to bring your stuff tomorrow for the extra bedroom." He mumbled
"Well that's just fine, but where am I supposed to sleep tonight."
"You saw the couches right?" I nodded my head not knowing where he was going with this. "Well that's where."
I couldn't believe my ears, how could he possibly expect me to sleep on a couch?
"If you want sleep then that's where you go, either that or the floor." He said smirking.
I yanked out the pillow from behind his head stomped off towards the couches. I plopped down and stared at the ceiling.
"Why is this happening to me!?" I yelled, and I swore I heard Natsume chuckle but fell asleep before I could know for sure.
Hope You guys Enjoyed the Chappie!! Tell me how I'm doing so far, I'll take some criticism to make my story better and would love to hear your ideas for future chapters.
