A/N: I apologize a head of time if the kid's name is wrong. Anywho, please read and review.
-Bethany-
I sighed as I sat down in my seat.
"Are you okay Bethany?"
Mikan asked and I sighed again.
"No. I don't want to be here."
I said as I looked out the window. It had been two weeks since Black Cat caught me in the woods and brought me back to the academy. He'd gotten he nurse to wrap my ankle before he showed me to the dorms. I'd been surprised that I had a room in the special star dorms, but I wasn't complaining. My ankle healed, but it still hurt if I put too much strain on it.
"That's too bad, cuz there's no way out."
A voice that had become too familiar to me said from behind us. I leaned my head back and glared at Natsume. I'd figured out he was Black Cat the first day I came to class. I saw his earring and tried bolting, but a sprained ankle and one of the school's best 'soldiers' keeping an eye on me didn't make things easy.
"It's not that bad."
Mikan said and I sighed again as I lifted my head and looked out the window again.
'I wonder how far I'd be able to get before Natsume catches me.'
I thought, but froze when I felt Natsume lean closer to me.
"Don't even think about it. I don't feel like chasing after you today."
He whispered in my ear and a shiver ran down my spine. I wasn't sure if it was from the way he said it, or the excitement I felt at the thought of him chasing me. I had to admit, even if it was just to myself, I liked it when he chased me. The school had sent others after me, even Persona, but Natsume was the only one that made me enjoy the chase. He made it feel like a game, that and he was the only one who could catch me.
"Aww, is the kitty tired?"
I teased in a whisper and smiled when I heard him growl. Luca and Mikan looked at us confused.
"This is a self study period. Have fun."
Narumi said before leaving the room.
Sumire, Kokoro, Yu, Hotaru, and the guy with the levitation Alice who's name I can't remember came over to us. Natsume and I pulled away from each other and I looked out the window boredly.
"You've been here for two whole weeks and you've never once used your Alice."
Sumire said with her hands on her hips.
"And? What's your point Permy?"
I asked and heard her huff in annoyance.
"My point is, I don't think you have an Alice. That, or it's as useless as Mikan's Nullification Alice."
Sumire said and my jaw clenched. In the two weeks I'd been here I'd made a few friends which is something I usually never do. I treasure my friends and I don't' like when people talk bad about them, and I considered Mikan to be my friend.
I turned and glared at Sumire. I almost smiled when I saw her flinch under my gaze.
"I suggest you watch what you say. I have an Alice, and I know how to use it. Don't make fun of my friends, this is the only warning you're going to get."
I said and stood up before grabbing my book and heading for the door.
"Bethany! You can't just walk out."
Yu said and I turned to look at the class president.
"It's self study, and I can't concentrate with so many annoying…..people in the room."
I said, deciding to be nice and not call anybody any names.
"Still letting others defend you. You can't do anything on your own can you? Your Alice is about as useless as you are."
Sumire said and I growled as I turned around. I saw her pulling on one of Mikan's pigtails. Hotaru was pulling on her horse hoof invention and looked at me. I shook my head and she put it away.
"Sumire….."
I said and she froze before turning to look at me. I usually never used her name. She looked at me and I could tell she was scared.
"What?"
She asked, trying to keep her voice from trembling and I smirked before using my Alice. It crawled along the floor before wrapping around Sumire's ankle and I raised my hand and my Alice lifted Sumire into the air. I heard gasps from the other students, but ignored them. Sumire's eyes were wide with shock and fear.
"P-p-p-put me down!"
She said and I smirked up at her.
"Now why would I do that? I warned you not to mess with my friends and you did it anyway. I think I need to teach you a lesson."
I said and felt someone using their Alice on me. I turned and saw the guy with the levitation Alice lifting me up into the air. I flicked my wrist and threw Sumire at him. He caught her and I landed on my feet. I clenched my teeth when my ankle throbbed, but smiled when I saw Sumire and the guy in a heap on the ground. I looked over at Mikan, Luca, Hotaru, Yu, Kokoro, and Natsume. They were all looking at me in shock, even Natsume.
'That's what I get for keeping my Alice a secret.'
I thought before turning to Mikan.
"You okay Mikan?"
I asked and she nodded.
"Good. I'm out, later."
I said before turning and heading for the door. I walked out into the courtyard and down the sidewalk. I was going to find a nice, shady tree and study.
-Natsume-
I wanted to burn Sumire where she stood for what she said to Mikan. I'd gotten over my crush on her and now thought of her as a little sister since she was a year younger than me. I was about to burn her when she pulled on Mikan's pigtail, but stopped when Bethany said her name. She turned and I could tell Sumire was scared.
"What?"
She asked, trying to keep her voice even. Then I was a purple-blue colored light crawl across the floor and wrap around Sumire's ankle and lift her into the air.
"P-p-p-put me down!"
Sumire yelled and I looked at Bethany to see she was smirking up at Sumire. Her waist length black hair seemed wild, and her dark blue eyes seemed to spark with mischief and anger.
"Now why would I do that? I warned you not to mess with my friends and you did it anyway. I think I need to teach you a lesson."
Bethany said and she was suddenly lifted into the air. I turned to see Sumire collide with Mociage and they both fell to the floor in a heap.
I turned back and looked at Bethany in shock.
'Just what was that? Her Alice?'
I wondered as she turned towards Mikan.
"You okay Mikan?"
She asked and Mikan nodded.
"Good. I'm out, later."
She said before leaving. I watched the door where she'd left before getting up and following after her.
