"You, what's your Alice?" a girl said, "come on, you heard me!"
"I don't want you to know." I said plainly, taking out a comic book that Dao had bought me. The girl seemed taken aback by what I had said.
"Answer me! Natsume-Kun doesn't trust you, so I don't. Don't act so full of yourself, I bet you don't even have an Alice! I bet you did some dirty trick to get in here!" She said. I read the comic book and pretended to ignore her. By the tone of her voice, I could tell she was frustrated by my attitude towards her. I was fed up at her yapping so I slammed the book on the table, causing everyone to stare at us.
"I have an Alice." I said.
"You're not an Alice, you're a liar!" She shouted. That was the last straw. I snapped my eyes open and stood up to face her.
"Shut up. I'm fed up of your wining, if you want proof, then I'll show you my Alice! But only one of them, the rest are mine to keep a secret." I said, my eyes turned from silver to dangerous dark grey. I walked towards the window and stepped onto the ledge, It wasn't too high for me, but very high for those without my Alice. I had caught everyone's attention by now, even Natsumes. I turned around and faced the room. Putting my hands behind me. I closed my eyes and focused on my Alice, the windows opened easily behind me. "My Alice isn't dangerous, well this one isn't anyway." I said, stepping backwards onto the outside ledge. I leaned backwards and I heard the class gasp as I fell. I closed my eyes and put my arms slightly behind me, pushing my chest out and my head back. I spiralled towards the ground head first, just before I hit the ground I spun my feet under me, and landed in an elegant standing position. Immediately I crouched down and sprung upwards, I flipped backwards and landed on the roof. I smiled in the joy of the open space, the room to use my Alice without any rules or precautions. I sat down on the roof and breathed in the fresh air, I stayed there for about twenty minutes. That was just a warm up for what I can do. I reached into my bag, which had been in my hand all the time, and pulled out a small round mirror. I looked at my eyes, They where a dark grey, adrenalized by me using my Alice, they would stay that way for a couple of hours. I heard a voice, a different one, in the classroom. Leaning over the edge of the roof, I looked into the classroom. Everyone was looking at the blackboard, where a teacher was righting own some maths questions. A girl with pink hair caught my gaze; she must have found it quite funny to find someone looking into the classroom upside down. She pointed at the board and put three fingers up, mouthing the words 'question three'. I read the question as best I could. Then I put my fingers out to show her the answer, forgetting that they where keeping me from falling. My legs acted as a hook as I stared to fall, this caused me to smash through the glass onto a desk. I slid along the table and did a backwards role off the end. Everyone looked at me, silent, the teacher dropped his chalk and looked at me angrily. I sat up and picked pieces of glass out of my hair, I couldn't hold it in any longer. I leaned forward to contain it, but couldn't. I started howling with laughter. The girl with the pink hair started laughing too, and soon the hole class where. The teacher walked towards me and grabbed one of my pigtails, pulling me outside. "Bye!" I called in to the classroom. The teacher lectured me for about half an hour, and then let me get back in the classroom. All the glass had been cleared away, and nobody got hurt, except me as I'd got a bad gash on my leg and a small cut on my cheek. When I went into the room, most of the people where smiling at me, it looked like I'd been accepted.
"Kagura-Chan! Apologize!" the teacher hissed at me.
"I'm sorry that I made such a rude entrance, and I'm sorry that I turned dark on all of you" I said, some people giggled. "And I'm glad that nobody got hurt." I finished, heading for my seat on the second row.
After Maths, we had sports, which was a good thing. Mikan had obviously talked to Natsume about this, because after we got changed she kept me company on the field.
"Can I use my Alice?" I asked her.
"Well, you're not suppose to, but everyone does! especially the other class we're grouped with for sports." She answered.
"Okay...what's you're Alice?"
"Nullification, Stealing and Insertion Alice!"
"Wow, that's a mouthful!"
"Yeah, it is!"
"I suppose I can tell you my other two Alice's."
"You can trust me! I won't tell Perm, don't worry."
"Perm?"
"Yes, the girl you fought with this morning!"
"I should apologize to her"
"Yes, you'd get on better that way!" Mikan said, pulling me towards a girl doing warm ups. "Perm?" she called, Perm looked up at us and frowned.
"Um...I'm sorry about earlier, Perm" I said, holding her gaze.
"My name's Sumire, not Perm." She said, "and thanks, for apologizing, although it was all my fault."
"I have a very short temper, Sumire-Chan, and I don't like getting angry at people."
"Same her, sis"
"I think we're going to get along" I said, walking off. I saw the girl with the pink hair at the archery field, so I ran over to join her. I knew that I shouldn't have gone anywhere near the archery, but I had to speak with her. "Hi!" I called, she shot the arrow and it hit one of the outer rings. She smiled at me.
"Hi, Nami-Chan! Thanks for helping me with that maths question, it was a difficult one"
"It's no problem! I'm okay at maths, it's science I don't get! hey, I don't even know your name, what is it?"
"I'm Anna" she said, picking up another arrow. The bow she was using looked cheap and tacky. And then I noticed the big, wooden longbow on the floor further along the field. It had no flaws. The smooth yew wood had been curved and shaped beautifully, it was perfect. I took a step towards it, feeling the warm butterflies flutter in my stomach, my Alice was exited.
"Hey, look! Kagura-Chan's doing archery!" someone shouted. I heard people laugh and giggle as they walked towards us.
"You're a pro Archer aren't you?" a boy mocked.
"Bet she can't even get the target!"
"I bet she can't get anywhere near it!" they all teased me. I turned to look at them, my breathing quickened dangerously. Anna ran off behind the crowd, for a moment I wondered where she went, but my attention soon returned to the mob. My eyes where probably a dark shade.
"You're wrong" I said. Looking at the ground. I walked over to the bow and squatted down next to it, placing my hands on the soft wood. Picking it up I walked, picking up an arrow, to the furthest away point that I could get. I put the arrow on the string and pulled it to my cheek. I forced the image of the target to the front of my mind and my hands automatically took position. I let the arrow fly from the bow freely. It shot high into the sky, then soared down onto the target. The audience that had gathered gasped at the bulls eye, and pleasure bubbled up inside of me as I imagined there surprised expressions. I saw two people run towards me, and another two walking. When they got closer I realised it was Anna and Mikan running towards me. I smiled nervously at them, worried that they would think I had done that to show off.
"Kagura-Chan you baka!" Mikan said, when she had close enough to me. "You should have just kept your Alice your little secret! God knows what will happen to you now"
"What do you mean?" I asked. Mikan grabbed my wrist and pulled me to the boys walking towards us. I recognised Natsume, but there was a blonde boy next to him, he was holding a white rabbit.
"Baka" Natsume said. I ignored hm and focused on the rabbit, well, I thought it was a rabbit. Oba had never let me outside, so i had very little knowledge on animals.
"Is it a rabbit?" I asked the boy, still looking at the creature's curios black eyes.
"Yes," he replied. I turned to Mikan, who was looking worried. Natsume saw me looking and started to speak.
"You have just made yourself dangerous. That Alice could kill someone"
"No, it..."
"Shut it." He interrupted. "What do you call this Alice?"
"It's called the Aiming Alice. I also have the Catching Alice. They are both..." I sighed, "...pretty bad."
"How is a Catching Alice bad?" Mikan asked. I looked at my trainers, and bit my lip. I looked straight into her eyes and told her.
"I can catch bullets."
