Chapter 7 Dead!
Hey everyone sorry I haven't updated in a while. I've been so busy lately! I got really sick yesterday too! :( I hope you like this chapter! :)
Mikan's POV
I could see the huge busy airport as we walked through the large glass doors. There were luggage bags everywhere with people coming and going. I was getting pushed to the sides back and forth.
"There's the front desk!" Yo Chan shouted pointing to my right.
Today is the day we go back home! I feel so excited. I also feel sad. I left Hikari Chan; she was the only girl there who showed kindness to me. I promised though to email her, hopefully, everyday, but she knows how I can get sometimes. My life can become so hectic sometimes!
I left Yo Chan to find out where we were going cause I was completely lost! I have a terrible sense of direction and can't follow directions well on top of it. Yo Chan soon showed me the way, guiding me so I wouldn't get lost or go on a different plane.
"There it is!" Yo Chan exclaimed to me.
I looked up to find the entrance to the plane. I couldn't believe how big everything in the airport was!
We walked in and soon found our seats."Ahhh." I sighed in a relaxed tone. "This is gonna be a long ride. Good thing the seats are comfy!"
Yo Chan laughed. "Mikan, you should probably get some sleep, after all we're entering different time zones. Plus, it a 12 hour flight from California to Tokyo and then we have to drive to your school."
"If I have to sleep then you should too!" I exclaimed shocked that only he got to enjoy the view, staying awake.
"Believe me; I'm going to sleep too. As much as you want to look out the window because you're so excited it's gonna take a while to get to Japan. You can't do that the whole time!"
After our chat I soon fell asleep, exhausted from our busy day.
Youichi's POV
Mikan soon fell asleep and leaned on my shoulder peacefully. She looked like an angel sleeping calmly. Gazing at her beauty, I soon started to fall asleep as well.
Mikan's POV
"Attention all passengers. We will be landing shortly in Tokyo International airport."
I jerked up. We were in Tokyo already! I couldn't wait to see all my friends and family.
About an Hour later…..
We finally arrived at Gakuen Alice. I could hardly contain myself anymore.
"We're here Yo Chan!" I squealed as I squirmed around in my seat.
"Calm down Mikan. We have to settle with our new roommates first. We're going to school TOMARROW not TODAY." He emphasized to make his point that I probably won't see most of my friends until tomorrow.
We soon walked into a grand door, bigger than I remember, to find a teacher and two students behind him. I couldn't tell who they were though because they're faces were half hidden.
"These are your new roommates. They will be showing you the school and your classes. They have all your information including your schedules." And with that, he left.
"That was rude." I murmured. I turned to see him leave.
"Well, anyways my name is Shouda Sumire. And this idiot next to me is Yome Kokoro. But you can call him Koko."
I gasped as I turned around to see who was talking.
"Permy!" I jumped at her hugging her fiercely. "I missed you so much."
She disgustingly pushed me of and said, "Who are you?"
I was shocked how can she not remember me!
Permy's POV
As I said the introductions the girl standing there turned around to see us. My eyes widened. She looked just like Mikan. Except an older version. But she can't be MIKAN. We were told a week ago Mikan died in a car crash. We all were traumatized. Especially Hotaru and Natsume. They isolated themselves even more. Natsume didn't even talk to Ruka anymore! First Mikan left us. Then she died and left us forever. How can this be Mikan? Sure I always believed she'd come back but after what we were told I lost hope.
She suddenly hugged me and called me something no one had ever.
"Permy!" No one called me that except her.
"Who are you?" I said. How? How can this be her?
She stood there dumbfounded. She must have not known about this. That she DIED last week. What's going on? I KNOW this is Mikan.
"Mikan." I whispered.
"Oh, so you do remember me then! I was worried you'd forget me!" She said happily. Dummy. Who could forget you?
Youichi or Yo Chan as Mikan called him was then introduced and we went up to our rooms to help organized their stuff.
After a while of silence in our room I finally said, "Mikan there's been a big misunderstanding."
"Wait, what misunderstanding?" She said confused.
"Mikan the teachers came to us one week ago and told us you died in a car crash." I tried to say as calmly as I could.
"DIED! What? Why did they say that?"
"I don't know but I overheard Persona saying to Jinno Sensei that she is to be kept away because she has to grow away from them and that they need her to do something or whatever. Before I had no clue what they were talking about but now I think it has something to do with you."
She looked down startled by what I had told her.
"W-What was everyone's reactions?" She asked in a sad voice.
So I told her exactly what I saw and heard when we first were told.
It was a normal day. We still missed Mikan but luckily she was coming back in 2 months. I couldn't wait to see her again. I haven't seen that idiot in so long it's kind of quiet without Hotaru's Baka Gun shooting at her face constantly. Jinno Sensei came up to the front of the class. Class hasn't even started! Does he intend to start class even earlier to make our lies even more miserable?
"I have sad news class." He said in a dull-I-don't-really-care voice.
"Mikan was incidentally in a car crash and died immediately from pressure."
My heart started to beat fast. My head started spinning. This can't be happening. Mikan can't die yet. She said in her email she promised to come back. She PROMISED. She wouldn't break her promise.
Suddenly Natsume stood up and yelled at Jinno Sensei, "You idiot! How are we supposed to believe your stupid lies! Mikan isn't the kind of person who would just die like that. She would die fighting for her beliefs!" But as strong as he tried and as fiery as his eyes looked, you could see tears already streaking his face and his voice cracking.
Jinno Sensei just smiled at him. How can he just SMILE! I felt like beating the crap out of him!
"I have no lies to tell. Mikan is dead." And with that he showed us a video taken by a news helicopter that happened to be passing the accident as it occurred.
It was terrible. You couldn't see Mikan's' face but you could sure tell that she had died .I was shaking. As much as I teased Mikan, as much as I told her she was stupid, I couldn't stop the tears pouring down my face. I looked toward Hotaru to see her reaction. It was the same as Natsume's. They're alike in a way. They both care for Mikan in a strange way. Teasing her and acting cold towards her, but they care more about her than anyone. You could see Hotaru try to wipe away the tears but they'd come back again and again. She looked torn apart. She loved Mikan a lot. Mikan was her best friend.
I looked over to Natsume as well. He tried to hide his face. You could still see his eyes filled with anger, sadness, and he had another look on his face that I'd never think I would see. He looked like a puppy abandoned and alone. Scared and hurt. Afraid of what's going to happen next. Heartbroken.
My heart beat fast and I suddenly got cold. How can this happen? I felt scared. Mikan. Please. Come back. Show us that this never happened. That all this is a dream.
"Are you serious?" Mikan questioned.
"Yeah. Everyone thinks you died."
"Why did Jinno Sensei lie?" She asked in a demanding voice. He was gonna get it later.
"How am I supposed to know? Anyways this card is addressed to you so I didn't open it." I handed her the card sitting on her bed.
She read it quickly. I studied her face closely to try and tell what her emotions of all this was. She gazed fiercely at it and suddenly widened her eyes.
"What's wrong?" I immediately asked.
"I'm not allowed to go to regular classes." She said in almost a whisper.
"What!"
"Here read it." She handed it over to me as I furiously took it.
Dear -
I am truly sorry to say that you will not be attending the lessons put on your regular schedule. That was a mistake and instead you will be attending special classes. Unfortunally, you are prohibited from seeing your friends and classmates besides your roommate, who is the only one here who knows you are back to Alice Academy. This is for important reasons that you will be told soon. Again, please do not follow your given schedule and your new schedule will be given to you soon.
Sincerely,
Principal Kuonji
(That's the elementary school principal for those of you who forgot)
What a piece of crap! No one cares!
"Mikan. Ignore this. Do you know how much everyone misses you? You're gonna follow this schedule right here!" I said lifting up the schedule stuffing it in her face.
"Ok!" She said enthusiastically.
Mikan's POV
I can't believe what just happened! All this information was thrown at me like a bomb! And now when I finally come back everyone thinks I'm dead and I can't go see them because of what Principal Kounji says and tell them 'I'm over here and alive!'
I don't care what they say! I at least want to make sure they know I'm alive!
We soon finished unpacking my things while taking about what I did when I was gone and what happened while I was gone.
"Yeah Natsume immediately broke up with Luna and moved back into your house with your dad."
"Oh, really!" I said surprised and secretly happy.
Wow. Luna deserves that though. I don't know why Natsume went out with her in the first place.
"Hold on a sec. I'm gonna text-"
"Yo Chan. Hm." She smirked and raised her eyebrows.
Permy! She's still the same! Always making fun of my nickname making or whatever!
I pulled my phone out of my pocket and slid the keyboard out. I texted him fast asking what was up and that apparently I'm dead.
Ding! I soon heard telling me I had a new message.
Yeah everythings fine. Wht r u talkin about? Ur DEAD?
Youichi:)
I quickly texted him back as fast as I could telling him the story.
After are texting was done me and Permy went to bed. Of course Permy was so nice and went down to get me and her soda as our midnight snack. It was late. A little past midnight and I had to wake up early to secretly start my new classes.
Natsume's POV
As I went for a stroll around thinking about life and the past I saw Per-Shouda walking towards the soda machines. She was smiling though. How can she be SMILING at a time like this? Mikan was one of her FRIENDS! Then I saw her take two sodas. Why does she need two? Did she quit her diet? Oh. I forgot. She has a new roommate to replace Mikan. She saw me looked at her so I quickly looked away and scurried away.
"Natsume! Wait!"
She ran up next to me panting. I stopped. She better have a good reason for wasting my time.
"Natsume. Mikan. S-She's n-"
"Don't talk to me about Mikan like she's coming back! It's not like you would know anything! You're probably having a great time without Mikan with your new roommate!"
She looked at me shocked at what I just said. So I walked away at a brisk pace off to our Sakura tree.
I'll never forget her. And how we used to spend our time at this Sakura tree together. She was my light in the darkness and I toke that for granted. I should have never let her go.
Mikan.
