AUTHORS NOTE:
I'm sorry guys that I haven't updated for this long, and I want to apologize for the wait,the next chapter is coming I promise, but the thing is, the last two weeks the Gakuen Alice manga has just finished, and I just couldn't bring myself to write anymore. To be honest, at the end of the chapter, I cried. Literally cried, because I just couldn't face the fact that Gakuen Alice has ended.
I started Gakuen Alice when I was 11 and now I'm 14. So that's three years. Three whole years since I've been with Gakuen Alice. I am utterly obsessed with this Anime/manga. When I finished watching the anime, and I searched up season two and I couldn't find it, I started reading the manga. I LOVED IT. I read it til chapter 120, when it ended and I had to wait a whole month for the next chapter. I remember it all so well too. Counting the days till the next chapter came out. When it finally did, I was more then happy.
This went on for the next three years. I continued to follow the chapter updates every month and when I couldn't read the English ones I searched up on YouTube for them. This was how much I love Gakuen Alice. Three years.
I started drawing the characters too! Mikan was the first one I started to draw, then Hotaru, then Natsume, and so on. I had loads of fun. I started searching up MMVs and AMVs on YouTube. I would watch the anime again and again. I would absently talk about it to my friends, and they'll just nod and smile, even though I know they weren't listening, just talking about Gakuen Alice made me happy. Now I know most people would think I'm crazy to be so obsessed with Gakuen Alice, but so what, I am.
Then I remember it well, my first time reading Gakuen Alice fanfiction. It was confusing at first, but nonetheless I got use to it. I would search up new stories everyday to read and when I finished, I would search up for more. Then one day, I had the urge to write about Gakuen Alice myself. I didn't have an account and I had no experience in writing, but I did it anyway. I know I haven't finished my first story for Gakuen Alice, but I do plan to finish it, no matter what. Now this, my second story is nearly about to be finished, and it's so close.
I understood that one day Gakuen Alice would end. I knew it would be soon. But it just suddenly happened. I thought I was prepared, I thought I was ready to accept the truth when it came.. but I didn't. I didn't know it'll be this hard. I knew every body would grow up, everyone grows up, and on the last page of the chapter, it said Thank You For All, and I knew that my heart had actually stopped for a moment. I couldn't believe it. Gakuen Alice was everything to me, but it has ended.
I can't do anything about Gakuen Alice without crying. The last chapter is always flashing in my head whenever i think about Gakuen Alice. An aching in my chest always happens, and my heart becomes tight, so tight that I feel like I cannot breathe.
I know the saying "All things must come to an end" but I never knew, never knew, exactly how hard it was to let go.
I hope that you all have also enjoyed Gakuen Alice as much as I have, because to say, Gakuen Alice was the best thing that happened in my life, and now that it has ended, I really don't know what to do anymore.
But all in all, I would like to say thanks Gakuen Alice for everything, through the tears and smiles, I really had an amazing time. I don't regret waiting every month for the chapters and talking endlessly to my friends about it. I don't regret ever stumbling upon Gakuen Alice, that's why I will do everything I can to continue on Gakuen Alice in the lives of others even if it's just fanfiction.

P.S so be prepared for chapter updates!
