I do not own Gakuen Alice

Chapter 11

Mikan's mansion: Bedroom

I opened my eyes slightly trying to adjust to the bright sunlight shining through my bedroom window. It's been a month since I moved in and I still wasn't use to it. I sat up looked around my room still thinking what kind of changes should be made. When I moved in, the walls were white with white curtains; well basically everything was white when I moved in. Now my bedroom walls are a dark shade of red so when the sun shines the colour brightens by a shade or two. This red reminds me of his mesmerizing eyes. The curtains are now replaced with baby pink lace curtains and my big soft comfy rug that covers half of my room is violet. I stood up and walked to my bathroom. My bathroom is really big and I love the colour that Permy had chosen for me; well all my new furniture was chosen by my friends and they did a marvelous job. I was still half asleep when I finished brushing my teeth I then heard a knock on the door. I walked out of the bathroom and opened the door.

Persona just stared at me his dark eyes filled with amusement and said "Mikan, your friends are here. And I think you should dress yourself up before you head out with us."

I just stood there and pouted and I groggily walked to my bathroom to look at the mirror. I was wide awake within a split second. I look horrible with my messy bed hair and stuff. I quickly walked in to my walk-in closet and picked out my outfit. Since it was summer, I chose a light pink ruffle skirt with a pair of black denim shorts. I then looked at the reflection of myself, my long brown that ends at my waist, my fair skin with my doe like eyes and my petite body. I should be happy that I look decent but no matter how I look I know I can't be happy.

My trance was broken when I heard my friend, Anna yelled "Mikan! Would you mind hurrying up?"

I looked one more time at the mirror and I left my room grabbing my Marc by Jacobs's bag. While running down the stairs I saw my friends sitting on my black leather couch. I quickly bowed my head down as in saying sorry.

Permy was looking at me and said "It's about time Mikan, cause I'm not getting any younger ya know."

I smiled and nodded my head and quickly grabbed my notebook and wrote 'Sorry for making you guys wait'

Nonoko smiled at me and said "It's fine Mikan, we know it's only been a month since you moved into this place."

Hotaru was already at the door yelling "Hurry up otherwise we're going to miss movie!"

"Yes, Hotaru" Anna said smiling.

"Come on otherwise we really will miss the movie." Persona said urging us out the door.

Movie theatre:

When we got our tickets, we heard a few familiar voices; one was a sweet and fake, the other was a rich alto sound and the last one was gentle like prince charming escorting Cinderella to the dance floor. We recognize these voices immediately the sweet fake one belongs to Luna Koizumi, the gentle one belongs to Ruka Nogi, and the alto one that is music to my ears belongs to no other than Natsume Hyuuga.

My friends and I were all shocked but we overheard Luna complain "Natsume~ if I'm scared you must protect me. And—and if I cry don't make fun of me…okay? ~"

My friends and Persona all made a gagging face and started to mock Luna's cute duck face pouty look. I looked back and giggled a soundless giggle but what caught my attention was Natsume's reply. I immediately turned around looked at him my heart breaking to pieces.

"Don't worry Luna, if anything happens I promise I will be there protecting you." Natsume's facial expression was soft, kind and gentle.

I love that face but I know that he only and I mean only shows that face to Luna. I stared at Natsume, within these few years Natsume became more and more handsome. His eyes are like rubies, his face was beyond perfect and his body…well let's just say he is really proud of his body.

"Mikan, Mikan! It's okay let's go." Anna was dragging me into the theatre but I was still looking at Natsume.

Even though Natsume and Luna had been dating for two years, I still love him and deep down I want him to show that face to me, but I know that he would never do that; not to me, Mikan Sakura.

I then saw Ruka look this way. He was shocked to see me and my friends along with my brother, but the shock became a gentle smile and I smile back. Ruka is the only one other than my friends and family from school that knows my secret; my secret is that I am Mikan Yukihara, daughterof the Yukiharas, but I am also Mikan Sakura, a poor girl without a voice. With one last glance, I turned and let Anna drag me into the theatre.
