Hi guys, it's me again. Since I'm quite free these days I'd be updating new chapters faster. So hope you'd enjoy reading and feel free to share your opinions as well.

BTW I don't own Gakuen Alice and I bet you guys already knew that:)


Chapter three

After Narumi-sensei introduced the substitute teacher Ryuui-sensei to me, he turned towards the class mumbling to himself that it's time to get everyone's attention. I don't think he'll be able to do that though. I mean he's nice and all, but to get this class to – WHAT THE HELL?

"Now, now everyone you all look so full of energy so shall we all do a group activity?" was all he said and the whole class turned dead silent. Is that even possible? "Oh where's the energy you all had a few seconds ago? Let's do it next time then". He said looking gloomy for some reason and everybody seemed relieved. Weird.

"Well then my dear students let me introduce to you, your new classmate, Mikan Yu-" "Sakura" I cut in. And smiled one of my best smiles. All the eyes were on me now and somehow this reminded me of that party. "She is our classmate?" I heard someone ask and her voice sounded very hostile. It was a girl with curly hair purmed well that she reminded me of that seaweed soup I tasted once in some fancy restaurant. I frowned at the memory. It was then that I decided never to taste it again.

I easily managed to spot Hotaru. Of course because she was the only one who kept on reading a book without bothering to spare me a glance. Typical. "Hey is this actually a girl? I think it's a guy" yelled another girl. Me a guy? Ok, now I feel uncomfortable and awkward. Maybe they're confused because of my cap. "No that's a girl with no fashion sense at all" went permy, the seaweed. Hey, I do have a good fashion sense since I'm the one who actually assists mom. I can't blame these people anyway, but they should know well not to judge a book by its cover. Narumi-sensei must have sensed the dark atmosphere growing around us because he suddenly cut in. "Now let's find a seatmate and partner for Mikan-CHAN" He emphasized the word chan.

It didn't take long after he said those words when the classroom door opened again. And the once silent class suddenly became louder than it was before. Every girl was screaming, giggling, drooling or doing all three at once. Hotaru was an exception because she was too engrossed in her book to even notice. And to my utter shock, in came THAT guy with his cool posture with his hands in his pockets. For the first time that day I felt glad that I wore this get-up. He walked past me without even sparing a glance my way which I was thankful of. So this isn't actually a big city at all or is it just my bad luck turning worse?

And I was entirely shocked to see the person who walked behind THAT guy-what was his name again?-who cares about that. Yes, the person who walked behind him was none other than Ruka-pyon! Let's just hope that this was a pure coincidence. Anyway Ruka-pyon smiled my way before starting to walk towards his seat. Did he recognize me? Maybe not, because I've never seen him after he transferred here before Middle school started. I started my new get up in middle school so there's no way he'd know that I'm Mikan Yukihara.

"Mikan-chan, your seatmate and partner will be…..Natsume Hyuuga-kun" Narumi-sensei said with a huge grin. WHAT?! I almost screamed my lungs out. Almost. I composed my face again before anyone noticed. "Is something wrong?" Narumi-sensei asked with a concerned face. "Can I be Hotaru's partner instead?" I asked hopefully. "She already has one" I heard him say. This cannot be happening. "Nooo! Narumi-sensei, you can't let that be our dearest Natsume sama's partner." Came the all too familiar permy's voice while she pointed at me. She just now called me 'that'. How rude. I twitched. "Look here Permy, I don't want to be his partner either so we're on the same side." She didn't seem to get my point and went on and on about the reason that I'm here was to steal her Natsume sama or something. Either way Narumi-sensei didn't seem like he'd back down either and in the end I still had to sit next to him. And the entire time while Ryuui-sensei was teaching, I was planning my revenge against my seatmate after I was convinced that this was reality and not a nightmare. Was is it just my imagination or was Hyuuga actually smirking behind the manga book he was reading? But then again it was probably my imagination because there's no way he'd know who I am.

Natsume's POV

It was as usual. With all the girls screaming I will someday go deaf for sure. I hate walking from the front gate to my class because it's so suffocating with the lack of air to breath. They just don't know when to stop. These stupid fans of mine. Tch… typical girls. I opened the class door just in time to see a person with a bad taste of clothes standing beside Narumi. That's new. There's hardly anybody here with such a taste of clothes like her. Tch, a cap indoors? I looked at her from the corner of my eyes as I passed by and for some reason she had this familiar aura. Not that I cared, it's just plainly odd. Maybe she's one of those idiotic fans. I was caught off guard when Narumi announced her as my partner. Good thing that my bangs were covering my face. And to say that I was surprised when she asked for Imai as her partner instead would be an understatement. I was beyond surprised. So she's not actually a fan girl. Now that's something interesting. I finally have something that could kill my boredom for a few days. Tch… I smirked when she unwillingly came and sat beside me.


Hi again. Hope you all liked it. I added Natsume's POV to change the flow of the story. Well then until we meet again, bye.

Sue-chan.
