Author's Note: Hey! It's Aoi again! So the first thing I want to say is... I lied. I'm really sorry! I promised in the last chapter that I would make this Chapter longer, but I just didn't have the time and I thought it would be a good place to end. But I swear the next chapter will be longer because I'll be introducing some new OCs of mine.

With my confession all done, I'd like to say thank you to the people who added my story to their Alerts and/or Favorites. That really means a lot to me, especially as a new writer. I know I haven't been updating this fanfic as fast as I should be, but various things get in the way, so I don't really have time to. But I'm definitely working on it. Please leave a review because I didn't have any new ones from the last chapter *sad face*. So let's get started!

Disclaimer: Yeah, I Totally forgot to put this in my first 2 Chapters. . that's so bad of me. Anyway, I only own the plot and my OCs. Gakuen Alice & characters belong to Higuchi Tachibana no matter how much I want to steal it from her, but if I did, it wouldn't be as awesome as she makes it.

Aoi's Love that Happens; Chapter 3: Mikan's Thoughts

[Mikan Yukihara 3st Person Point of View]

It had been about 3 hours since Mikan had landed in Los Angeles, California in America. She was currently in her suite at the hotel Ritz-Carlton, waiting to be taken to her new school. She had changed out of her grungy, starting-to-smell uniform from Japan into a crisp and clean skirt and blouse that was the standard Alice Academy Uniform for Girls. Mikan was glad to see that it was still similar to the one she had in Japan, except the colors for the Middle School Division here were Royal Gray Blue and Silver.

She was kind of worried that she would live as an outcast among the rich heirs and heiress with their Prada purses and Chanel Sunglasses and their iPhone 5s and Macs and their Dolce & Gabbana Clothes. She wondered if not knowing the latest trends would make her an outcast. She didn't want to live as an outcast, she wanted everyone to like her, just like everyone back at Gakuen Alice in Japan had treated her. But, the only clothes she had brought with her were the clothes she had been wearing the day she'd left; meaning her uniform. Since the people at the academy wouldn't allow her to take anything from her dorm in Gakuen Alice. The only expensive thing she had on her was the pure platinum ring band encrusted with 15 .74 Carat square-cut diamonds that encircled the band that she was wearing on her middle finger. It was given to her at the airport as a present from her uncle. Even though she was miffed about having to leave so suddenly, she missed her uncle too.

Mikan started thinking horrible depressing thoughts: What if I'm not liked? What if I'm miserable hear? Will people make fun of me? Will they look down on the Yukihara Company? If they do, will Uncle and 'Mom' be mad at me?

While thinking about the last question, Mikan started thinking about her Mom. Who was she? Sure, she was the CEO, Co-Owner, and Co-Founder of the Famous Yukihara Corporations, but Mikan didn't know anything about her personally. 'Mom and Dad probably don't even care about me.' Mikan thought. 'But,' Mikan thought, 'they must have MAYBE heard about me from Uncle since they wanted me to come to Alice Academy and America.' Mikan hadn't even seen her parents ever since she found out about her birth.

It was currently 7:36 AM. The people at the Academy were going to pick her up at 7:45. She sighed. She had arrived at 4:30 in the morning at the airport, was taken to the Ritz-Carlton Hotel soon after for a quick rest and to shower, change, and get to know her new school life.

She had been given an Alice Academy Rules & Guidelines Book and an Alice Academy Facts You Should Know Book to read so that she would have a good sense of what to expect when she would be toured around the school.

Today, she wouldn't be starting classes, but would be simply touring the school so she could get used to her surroundings. Mikan glanced at the digital clock; 7:43 AM it read. They would be here anytime now. She closed her eyes and in the last 92 seconds of privacy she had would be, of course, with her beloved boyfriend, Natsume.

She thought wistfully about how he was doing and also guiltily thought about her rude leaving without even giving him a note or something. She let out a big breath, surprised to find that she had been holding it in the entire time.

She heard a knock on the door, and knew it was time to leave.
