Hey again guys :)

This is the first chapter, official chapter, of Opposite side of the tracks.

I'm just starting to get confident about my writing, but I would still love it if you reviewed.

But anyways, just enjoy the story! :p

Chapter one:

"Your a monster."

"I hate you."

"Go away you freak!"

"Your not worthy to come to this school!"

"You disgust me!"

The students voice's seemed to fill her mind, pushing out the determination she always shown them she had She couldnt take it, she was always so cheerful and happy. She wasn't prepared for such hate...

Why? Why was he doing this to her? Was it because she was poor? Was it because she threw noodles on him? How stupid was he?

Mikan struggled to get to her feet, her bloody knee's and burnt palms stinging. She ignored the sneers and shouts and turned towards him. The man who started this whole thing. Natsume Hyuuga. His bloody eyes were cold and uncaring. And full of hate.

For her.

The voice's were horrible. And they wouldn't stop. Her headache was getting worse, and the sweat running down her body chilled her. Mikan groaned and pressed her pillow to her ears, trying to suppress the haunting taunts and snickers. She couldn't stand it! Why did they hate her so much? Why did they-

"Mikan?"

The brunette's eyes flashed open, and she abruptly sat up and glanced towards the door. Hotaru was there, her short black hair ruffled and messy, her eyes tired. The purple sleeping gown she wore was perfectly smooth though, and Mikan remembered she had left for the bathroom a while ago. For a second brown eyes met violet ones, and they had a staring contest from across the room.

Mikan looked away just a lightning flashed across the dark sky, and thunder boomed through the night. It matched Mikan's empty and mourning spirit perfectly. Mikan whimpered, burying her face in her pillow.

Hotaru stared at her for a moment, her silence somehow calming Mikan once she managed to look up again. Hotaru was a peace, she wasn't bothered by the storm or Mikan's agony. Which Mikan was grateful for. Someone had to say sane in this situation, and keep Mikan down to earth.

Hotaru did her job perfectly.

"Can you...sleep with me tonight Hotaru?" Mikan asked sheepishly, smiling at her best friend. Hotaru stared at her blankly for a moment as the thunder and lightning lashed several times, before her face softened a little and she shrugged.

"Sure, baka."

And for the first time in days, with the indifferent girl beside her, Mikan slept in peace.

Without nightmares, without weariness, without pain.

'Suck that you stupid Hyuuga.'

Natsume was livid.

He had thought it would have been another normal, boring day at Alice academy.

He had skipped practically every class like usual, but that annoying man Persona had caught him and threatened to punish him with severe means if he didn't get to class. Remembering the deep scar on the back of neck, Natsume decided to listen to him for once, but not after setting his office in flames.

Then he was able to leave satisfied.

But then she had appeared when he was in the courtyard, slamming into him while he was chatting to ruka, and she had thrown, or dropped, noodles all over his uniform. And had the audacity not to apologize. Instead she had slapped him. Slapped him! Who would dare to even touch his skin with their filthy hands?

Sure, he did call her an ugly oaf and an idiot. But what average IQ person would forget to watch where they were going?

Especially if he was in the premises.

The way she had glared at him after he stared at her and told her to pay for damages, was unbelievable. She had looked at him as if he was below her, as if he was some whiny 2 year kid who was having a tantrum.

And then she slapped him.

"Your such a snob,How gross. You need a teddy bear or something." She had muttered when he stared at her in shock, clutching his red cheek. Then she had walked away, the now amazed student body parting like the red sea as she passed through and entered a plain black truck.

And he had just stood there, staring after her.

The most disgusting part though, was that he couldn't stop thinking about her for the rest of the day afterwards. The students had tortured her without his consent much to his relief, and he was smug about that, but instead of giving in and apologizing like he'd offered her today...

She'd just stared at him with pure hatred, and told him to fuck off.

And like the idiot he was, he only stared at her. she'd walked away again, rolling her eyes when he didn't say a word, only opened and closed his mouth, outrage frozen on his face.

He had to do something about her, and soon. He couldn't handle this humiliation. And the way Ruka had looked at him, with pure pity, was embarrassing He had looked like an idiot, and unlike his usual uncaring reaction, he had not only gotten humiliated, but felt humiliated. That was a first.

And it was going to be last the time to.

Luckily tomorrow was Saturday, and she had detention. That would be the perfect place to strike. After all, the teacher's wouldn't dare try to send him away. He was the richest student in the school, and he father had complete control over the funds. She would regret ever crossing him.

No one mess's with me and gets away with it.

DUN DUN DUN! :p
