Most of the characters of the same gender are the same ageI woke the next morning and the first thing I saw was Natsume still sleeping in the chair. I was surprised at how much better I slept when he was there with me. I looked over at the clock that was resting on the end table and it was nine o'clock. I was pleasantly surprised when I realized it was Saturday. Even though I hadn't been at Gakuen Alice very long, the week seemed to drag on forever. I decided to go get in the shower before Natsume woke up so it would be free for him to use.
When I got out of the shower I wasn't exactly looking where I was going and ran into no other than Natsume. I landed on top of him and wasn't aware of the awkward position until he started to speak.
"Oi, do you want to stop assaulting me and remove yourself from on top of me. Your weight is crushing me." He said with an arrogant smirk.
There were plenty of things I could've said in order to get back at him for making fun of me, but I was taught that if you don't acknowledge the insult they get tired of saying them and leave you alone. So that's exactly what I did, I stood up and stomped away leaving Natsume behind.
I wondered around for a while before I found my friends. I said hello and asked them what they looked so happy about. It was Anna that answered me.
"We were talking about going to Central Town for a while." When she finished every nodded signaling that they wanted to go.
"Wow that sounds like it would be a lot of fun. Do you guys mind if I go too?"
"Of course not, we would all be glad to have you come with us. Isn't that right Ruka?" Nonoko asked.
I saw Ruka glare at her and when the words finally sunk in he blushed not knowing what to say. It was beyond me why he could possibly be acting this way, or why Nonoko even made the comment in the first place but I didn't worry about it because I was too excited for Central Town. Just then Jinno Sensei came up behind me.
"I'm afraid that you won't be going anywhere Miss Sakura without your partner." I felt my smile fade slightly and told everybody that I was going to get Natsume. As I was running to get him I faintly heard Sumire say that I was never going to get him to come, which only added to my determination.
When I arrived at our room I found Natsume lounging on the couch with a Manga over his face. I didn't really want to disturb his sleep but I truly wanted to go to Central Town.
"Uhm Natsume, are you awake?" I thought he was asleep until I saw the slight twitch of his finger.
"Come on Natsume I know you're awake." I said while pulling the Manga from his head. His glare was so intense that I stumbled backwards for a second. I suddenly got enough confidence to force him up because I was fairly sure that he couldn't hurt me while I had the Nullification Alice. I grabbed his arm and forced him off that couch earning myself another death glare.
"Will you please go to Central Town with me?"
"Tch, are you too much of a Baka to get there yourself?"
I scoffed at his comment and said, "Jinno won't let me go unless I'm under your protection or something, even though I think he just doesn't want me to go."
I saw that this was going to take some persuading so I told him that I would leave him alone for the next day and not talk to him unless it was unavoidable. This deal of course got his attention almost immediately.
I was proud of myself for convincing Natsume to come with me in under ten minutes. I was also extremely happy to see the priceless faces of Jinno and Sumire when they found out that I actually got him to come with me.
Even though the deal was that Natsume had to come with me, they never mentioned anything about actually spending time with him so I took a seat next to Hotaru for the bus ride. In front of us were Anna and Nonoko, while Yuu and Koko sat in the seat besides us. I met Koko on the first day of class and realized that he had the Mind reading Alice when he answered my unspoken question.
In the very back of the bus sat Ruka and Natsume with Sumire in the seat in front of them. She looked like she was trying to get Ruka and Natsume's undivided attention. While she failed miserably at getting Natsume's, Ruka being the nice person he is answered her every question. He caught my eye and smiled, I smiled back and earned myself a glare from Sumire. I figured it would be better if I just turned around to my other friends.
"I can't believe that Ruka is sitting with that jerk, he's so nice and Natsume is just a perverted jerk."
"They have been best friends since before they came to this Academy. They are kind of like you and Hotaru." Yuu informed me.
"How are they like us?"
"Well you see Natsume came here first when he was just six. Two years later Ruka came and they just continued their friendship from before Gakuen Alice."
I nodded now understanding. I was deep in thought when the bus stopped and the driver announced that we had arrived at Central Town. I stepped off the bus and was instantly amazed at the place around me. It was hard to believe that a whole town was located in the middle of a school campus. What amazed me even more was that there was even enough land owned by the school for the town to reside in.
"Pretty neat isn't it?" Ruka said coming up to stand beside me. I nodded and kept looking around.
"I want to show you something come here." Ruka suddenly took my hand and pulled me towards a concession stand selling something called Howalon.
Ruka asked the man at the counter for a free sample and gave it to me. The first bite I took caused me to fall in love with it.
"Ruka this is sooo good!" I said unable to hold in my excitement. Ever since I was small I had a special place in my heart for sweet things, and after taking my first bite the Howalon made it to the top of my favorites list.
"I thought you would like it. Wait here, I'll be right back." Smiling he walked back over to the stand and bought a box. While slightly blushing he held out the box for me.
"Can I really have a piece?" He shook his head and my face fell.
"Of course you can't have a piece because the whole box is for you." I once again had a huge smile on my face and gave Ruka a giant hug.
"Ruka I'm hungry too, would you mind buying me some?" Sumire said whining.
"Sorry Sumire but I don't have any money left."
"Fine I'll just go and get Natsume to buy me some." Good luck with that, I thought as she stalked off to where Natsume was.
When Ruka looked at my face he must've known what I was going to say because he said, "Don't worry, I didn't really spend all my money." At that we both started laughing.
We stopped laughing when we heard a shrill scream. We looked over to find Sumire running around with her hair on fire.
"I guess Natsume isn't going to buy some for her." Ruka said, causing us to burst out laughing again.
We all spent most of the day just wondering around. Hotaru of course bought nothing saying that she needed to save up for more invention parts. She offered to buy something for me and I got really happy. She told me that I would have to pay her back with interest though, and so I declined her offer.
The time seemed to fly by so fast and before I knew it the sky was getting dark. I glanced at the clock tower that was located in the middle of Central Town and was surprised to find that it was seven thirty. While everyone was buying ice cream I suddenly had the need to go to the bathroom. I looked for Natsume to tell him where I was going seeing as he's my partner and all. When I couldn't find him I settled on telling Koko.
As I was trying to find a bathroom I noticed a small café. I figured it would have a bathroom so I went in side. It was kind of creepy how there wasn't anyone in the café. When I saw a worker I asked him where the bathroom was and he pointed me down a hallway.
"It's the second door on your left."
"Thank you very much." He nodded then turned and called someone on his cell phone.
I found the room that he told me about and noticed that there wasn't a sign that said women's or anything, but I figured I would take a look anyways. The lights flickered on and I stepped into the room. Something hit me from behind, and I fell to the cold ground banging my forehead. I vaguely heard the worker speak to the person on the phone saying something about finding me like the boss wanted. The next thing I knew he slammed the door shut and everything went blank.
