Author's Note:
Thanks a lot for the reviews on the last chapter. I loved every single one of them. Here's the next chapter. After this chapter, the updates might start coming in more slower 'cause I've got an exam to focus on next week. But I'll try and update sooner. By the way, have you guys heard of the anime Full Moon wo Sagashite, Kirarin Revolution and Shugo Chara? They're really good and I recommend it for you guys to watch them. Now, on with chapter two!

Chapter Two
-Who's That Girl?-

-X-

Rays of sunlight shone through the windows announcing the arrival of a new day to the world. Mikan cringed slightly at the unwanted brightness. She opened her olive-brown eyes and looked at the digital clock on the drawer. 7:38 it read. She frowned slightly, realizing that she had less than half an hour to get ready for her first day of class.

She quickly jumped off the bed and grabbed her new uniform, which was folded neatly on top of the drawer, and quickly walked into the bathroom. After taking a five minute shower, Mikan grabbed a large comb and started brushing through her long auburn hair in front of the mirror. When she finished getting dressed into her new uniform, she grabbed two crimson coloured ribbons and tied her waist-length hair into two low ponytails. Mikan had in her left ear a sleeper with a sapphire stone handing off it. It was a Control Device for her Alice. Then she walked out of the room and headed towards 3-B, not noticing a bright yellow star left on the drawer.

On the way to her new class, people from all around her, mostly boys, stopped to stare at teen. Murmuring started to occur.

'Who's that?'

'Must be a new student?'

'I wonder what her Alice is.'

'She's beautiful...'

Mikan didn't stop for a second and continued towards her class. When she arrived she spotted Narumi waiting outside for her patiently.

'Good morning, Mikan-chan!' he exclaimed clapping his hands together.

'Morning,' Mikan muttered back.

Narumi then opened the wooden oak door which enabled Mikan to hear loud noises from inside the classroom.

'When I give the signal, you may enter,' the blonde haired teacher said.

Mikan nodded and Narumi walked into the class, closing the door behind him. The auburn haired girl closed her eyes and leaned against the wall, trying to drown out the voices of students from all around her.

'Alright class, please settle down!' Narumi said. The students got quiet and went towards their seats and sat down.

'I have an announcement to make. As of today, we will be having a new student joining us. Please treat her nicely.'

Whispers started as soon as Narumi had finished his last sentence.

'I wonder who the new student is.'

'Hope she's nice.'

'I wonder what her Alice is.'

Then a loud voice broke through all the whispering. 'Sensei, we don't need any more new students,' a fifteen year old green haired girl exclaimed. She is Shouda Sumire. She is totally against the idea of having a new student in the class, especially if it was a girl. Sumire thought that this new student would take a certain someone away from her. Not that he belonged to her in the first place.

'Please sit down, Shouda-san,' Narumi said. Sumire huffed and sat down angrily.

'Now, you may come in!'

As soon as Narumi said that, the doors opened and in walked Mikan with her usual emotionless expression on her face.

'Class, this is Sakura Mikan. Any questions?'

A raven haired girl almost dropped the book that she was reading. Her violet eyes shifted towards the girl standing in front of the class. If she wasn't the famous Imai Hotaru, she would have gasped at seeing the face of her childhood best friend.

Mikan, what is she doing here? She thought shocked. The two had been close friends ever since they were three. But after two years, Mikan had been separated from Hotaru one mysterious night. Ever since that day, Hotaru had not seen the girl for years that is until now. The many questions that were still stuck in her head were all yearning to come out all at once but with all her strength, Hotaru keep them all from escaping. She'll just have to consult Mikan about this later.

Many students raised their hands and Narumi picked a dirty blonde haired boy with a carefree expression on his face.

'Yes, Kokoroyomi-kun,' Narumi said.

Koko put his hand down. 'Why can't I read your mind?' he asked.

The class was also anxious after hearing that from the infamous mind reader. Narumi turned to the auburn haired girl in wonder.

Come to think of it, I never asked what her Alice is, he thought.

There was a moment of silence but it was broken when Mikan spoke up in a soft tone. 'It's because I have the Nullification Alice. It cancels out the effects of other Alices.'

Koko mouthed an 'oh' and returned back to his carefree expression.

'Anymore questions?' Narumi asked, but he was actually thinking about her response. Nullification, that's a really rare Alice. The only person I know of who had that Alice is long dead. Could she be…?

'What's your Star Level, or are you a no-star?' Sumire asked haughtily, not seeing any stars on her uniform.

Mikan turned to Narumi. What is my Star Level? Her eyes asked.

Narumi seemed to have received the message. 'Mikan-chan is a Special Star,' he announced.

Murmuring started across the classroom once again. Sumire frowned and glared Mikan, who had an aloof expression on her face that had now replaced her emotionless one.

'Then what Ability Class is she in?' she asked frowning.

'Special Ability,' Narumi said.

The green haired girl scoffed. 'So much for being a Special Star; this girl is with the drop-outs? Ha!' she sneered at Mikan.

'Shouda-san, please retrain yourself from saying those things,' Narumi said in a serious tone. 'Or else we'll have to drop your Star Level.'

After hearing that, Sumire shut up but not before giving the calm olive-brown eyed girl a glare.

'Now then,' the blonde haired teacher said, returning back to his cheerful expression. 'You may sit at the back row over there.' Narumi pointed at a long desk at the back where there sat a blonde haired boy with blue-grey eyes.

Mikan nodded and walked towards her assigned seats. As she walked past the students in the class all started muttered once again.

Sumire saw that the girl was walking closer to her and she took this as an opportunity to humiliate her. The emerald eyed girl stuck her foot out, hoping that Mikan would trip. But unfortunately for her, Mikan had seen what she did and jumped over Sumire's outstretched leg.

Mikan suddenly stopped in her tracks and everyone turned towards her, including Sumire. Then she spoke in a somewhat taunting tone.

'Nice try…Permy,' Mikan said, giving off a really small smirk that was barely noticeable. She then continued towards her seat with everyone's eyes on her.

Sumire's eyes lit up with fury. Not once in her life had she been called that horrible name. Her eyes darkened and she clenched her teeth tightly. You're going down, Sakura! Her friend Wakako backed away from her with a slightly scared expression on her face.

'C-calm down, Sumire-san,' she stuttered, but immediately shut up when Sumire turned and glared at her.

Mikan arrived at her seat and sat down quietly. The boy next to her looked at her from the corner of his eyes in wonder. Normally, a normal girl would just throw themselves at him after seeing his face and start flirting with him, but Mikan just sat there looking uninterested. She even had the guts to insult Shouda Sumire, the president of his fan club. The blonde's gaze shifted back to Narumi, who had begun his lesson. This girl is truly interesting, he mused.

Class ended quickly and Mikan didn't waste anytime in leaving the noisy room. She walked across many students in the academy, who once again stopped and stared at the passing beauty. A few boys even whistled at her but she just ignored them. She arrived at a lane filled with cherry blossom trees. The blazing sun glared down at her, causing the auburn haired girl to sweat slight. Mikan covered her eyes and took some shelter under the largest sakura tree. She closed her eyes and listened carefully to nature's call. As soon as she was about to drift off to sleep, she heard a cold voice.

'Oi, you're in my spot.'

Mikan looked up and saw a raven haired teen looking down at her. Emotionless olive-brown orbs met fiery crimson ones. Mikan leaned on the trunk of the tree for support and got up slowly.

'Really, I don't see your name on it,' she muttered, dusting her uniform. As soon as she took one step away Mikan felt a strong hand gripping her wrist. She turned to see the raven haired boy glaring at her.

'What's your name?' he asked in a demanding tone.

Mikan frowned and tried to snatch her hand away from him, but it turns out that he was too strong. Obviously he won't let go until he got a decent answer.

'Why should I tell you?' she asked calmly.

The fifteen year old boy's glare hardened slightly. Never once had he met a girl that is so stubborn. But at the same time, she had caught his attention. Normally, girls wouldn't even hesitate to answer his question and would also blush if he ever made contact them, but this girl was different. She had not answered his question and did not blush one bit, but instead gave him an emotionless look. He was so absorbed in his thoughts that he didn't realize his grip loosening slightly.

Mikan took this as an opportunity to snatch her hand back. When the raven haired boy snapped back into reality, the auburn haired girl had already started walking off. He stared at the girl's back with his cold crimson eyes. Who is that girl, he wondered. For once in his life, Hyuuga Natsume had found something that interested him.

The bell went, signaling the start of the next period. Natsume walked off towards the classroom. Normally he would skip the class but his mind right now was too reoccupied to read his manga. As he made his way to 3-B females from all around him started giggling and blush as he walked past. Natsume frowned with annoyance. He hated his fan girls.

When he arrived in the classroom he realized that something was different. One; the classroom was noisier that before. Two; no one even noticed his presence, and three; students were crowded around his seat, looking at something or someone.

Natsume moved his head slightly past the crowd of students and narrowed his eyes at the sight. There sitting on his seat was an auburn haired girl with a familiar pair of emotionless olive-brown eyes.

What the hell is she doing here?
