Prologue

6 years ago

In a very bright morning, Mikan and Misaki are eating their breakfast chatting with their parent about school. It’s their first day in school in Gakuen Alice.

“Okaa-san, I’m really excited today! I’ll see Hotaru-chan, Nonoko-chan and Anna-chan again. It feels likes ages ever since I saw them.” Said Mikan happily.

“But Mikan-chan, didn’t you just saw them last week?” Misaki asked. “Oh, yeah, that, I remember. Mikan replied. Mr. Sakura took a sip of his coffee in reply to his daughter’s stupidness while Mrs. Sakura just sweatdropped.

“Girls, better hurry up or you’ll be late.” Mrs. Sakura said to her daughters. “Hai!” answered the two. ‘Hmmm… Will this day be as fun as I want it to be?’ Mikan thought.

“Mikan, hurry up!” Misaki said disturbing Mikan’s thoughts. “Uh, hai! Gomen!” Mikan replied. Then both bid goodbye to their parents and stepped out of the house.

Mikan’s POV

‘When we stepped out of our house we started walking to our school. It is not that far and will only take a 15 minute walk to get there.

Then I saw two people who also wear our school’s uniform. So I thought ‘Those uniforms are from Gakuen Alice, right? So we have neighbors who go to Gakuen Alice. Cool!’

Then I heard my sister called the attention of the two students. “You’re going to Gakuen Alice, right?” Misaki asked. The guy just nodded while the little girl replied with a “Hai!”

“Why don’t we walk together?” Misaki asked them again as we both ran to them. ‘The little girl is really cute and the older guy is handsome well erhmm… in my opinion.’ I thought. I heard the little reply “Okay!” Then the older guy just nodded.

Misaki introduced herself first “Hi! I’m Misaki Sakura. A sixth grader.” “And I’m Mikan Sakura, her younger sister. I’m a fourth grader.” I continued while smiling.

The little girl said “I’m Aoi Hyuuga, a first grader. I’m hi younger sister.” ‘So her name is Aoi, how cute!’ I thought. “Your name is pretty nice.” I commented. “Thank you! Your name is pretty nice too.” Aoi replied then elbowed the older guy.

“Well, I’m Natsume Hyuuga, I’m her older brother. I’m a fifth grader.” Natsume said. “Oh, okay!” I and my sister said.

Then we started walking to school. I started a conversation with Aoi-chan ‘coz she’s younger and I think she’s easier to talk to.

Then my sister also started a conversation with Natsume who only nod his head or shook his head. Whenever I look at them I can’t help myself but to giggle.

“So Aoi-san, can I call you Aoi-chan?” I started while smiling. “Okay, then can I call you Mikan-nee-chan?” Aoi replied. “Sure Aoi-chan!” I said still smiling.

“Mikan-nee-chan, you’re really pretty, you know!” Aoi complimented me. “Why thank you! You’re pretty cute as well Aoi-chan!” I replied while blushing. “Thank you!” said Aoi while smiling.

Then after a few minutes of talking we arrived at school. Then we went to our rooms.

I went to my classroom 4-1. When I opened the door, I greeted everyone a good morning and proceeded to my seat near the window.

Then I greeted Hotaru, my dearest best friend a “Hotaru-chan, Ohayou!” with a big smile “Ohayou, Baka!” Hotaru greeted me back. A few minutes later, the bell rang signaling the start of class.

Then after a few hours it’s lunch already. Briiing!! The bell rang. Me and the girls fix our stuffs and got our food.

We went to the cafeteria and took our seats. We started eating while chatting with each other.

“Hey, I heard from the girls in the fifth grade section one that there is a hot new student by the name of Natsume Hyuuga.” started Anna, my other best friend while grinning.

“Oh yeah, heard of him. They said that he’s really handsome and good in class! Have any of you seen him yet?” Nonoko replied, she’s my other best friend while smiling.

“Well, I’ve seen him already. We walk to school together today because we are neighbors.”said Mikan.

“Wow, that is so nice Mikan-chan!” said Nonoko and Anna in the same time.

“Hmmm… I might consider coming to your house now, Mikan.” said Hotaru emotionlessly with an evil glint in her eyes.

“Waayyy!! Hotaru is visiting me!” Mikan said happily. “Baka, I’ll just visit you so I can take a picture of Natsume Hyuuga.” Hotaru said emotionlessly.

“Owww, Hotaru you’re so mean!!” said Mikan almost crying. “It’s okay Mikan-chan.” Said Nonoko. “I’m sure Hotaru-chan doesn’t mean it.” Continued Anna.

“Okay, let’s continue eating.” said Mikan cheering up. “Hai!” said the one while Hotaru only nodded.

Time Pass

The bell rung signaling it is time to go home. We fix our stuffs so we can go home. I got my stuffs and put it in my bag.

“Hey, are you guys ready to go?” Mikan asked them. Nonoko and Anna said yes while Hotaru again just nodded.

Then Nonoko’s cell phone rings. She put it out so we can see it. It’s a cute blue-colored flip phone. She looked at the screen and answered the call. “Hi mom!” I heard her greeted her mom. “Oh, is that so?...Okay!...I’ll just ask someone to accompany me…Okay! Bye!” said Nonoko to her mom.

“Can anyone of you accompany me to the bookstore? Well you see my mom needs a new recipe book.” Nonoko asked. “Can’t!” said I and Hotaru. “I can, don’t worry Nonoko-chan.” Anna told Nonoko.

“Gomen, but I have to be home early Nonoko-chan.” reasoned Mikan. “Well, I have to print more copies of the picture of Natsume Hyuuga that I captured today so I can earn more money for my invention.” Stated Hotaru emotionlessly again.

“It’s okay! Don’t worry!” said Nonoko. “Well I guess we should be going.” Stated Nonoko. They bid goodbye to each other and Nonoko and Anna started to walk ahead of them.

Hotaru then said “Mikan, I think I can’t walk with you today.” “It’s okay. Bye Hotaru-chan!” said Mikan happily. “Bye!” replied Hotaru. Then we started walking to the gate.

End of POV

Natsumes’s POV

‘How can I go home?’ I thought angrily. I sent my death glares to these idiotic girls but they just squeal. ‘God, are the even humans? They are really hurting my ear drums you know.’ I thought again.

“Hey, go away! I need to go home already, ugly hags!” I said to them angrily but of course I didn’t loose my coolness. “Kyaaa! His voice is so nice.” said one girl.

Then I saw the younger Sakura girl walking towards the gate. ‘Thank God her sister gave me their numbers.’ I said talking to myself. So I got out my red cell phone and started typing letters. ‘Hi Sakura, this is Hyuuga can you do me a favor? I need to go home already and these girls surrounding me are keeping me from doing so you see. You can found me by the fountain. Think of any excuse.’ then I looked for her number and press send.

I saw her now walking towards us. “Excuse me girls, but you see Hyuuga-san is being called by Jinno-sensei.” I heard her telling the ugly hags.

“Oww, okay…” said the girls gloomily. Then they started walking away.

“Are you okay, Hyuuga-san?” Sakura asked me worriedly. I nodded and even though I don’t want to say this I still said it “Thank you.” Well I said emotionlessly.

“Are you going home already or do you have anything else to do? asked Sakura. I shook my head and asked “Wanna go home together, Sakura?”

“But please don’t call me Sakura, Mikan is fine Hyuuga-san.”she replied. “Then call me Natsume.” I said. Then she nodded her head and started walking. I walked to her side-by-side with her.

Then weeks pass even years and the Sakura kids and Hyuuga kids became really good friends.

End of POV

Normal POV

3 years later

Mikan went to the park to get some fresh air and to relax herself. She is supposed to meet here but Hotaru has to do something so she can’t come.

Then she heard the children laughing while playing with their friends. ‘Kawaii! I wished I can still do that with Hotaru-chan and then others.’

Mikan walked to them and asked if she can join them. “Hey kids! All of you are having fun, can I join you? I’m pretty bored you see.” Mikan asked the kids nicely. “Okay!” they replied to her.

“How about we play tag? I’m the IT!” she asked them again. “Okay!” replied the kids and started running.

While playing, Mikan didn’t notice that her bracelet which is given by Hotaru fell on the ground. They played many games like Hide-and-Seek, Chinese Garter, and other child games for hours. Then the children need to go.

“Onee-chan, we need to go home already or else my mother will definitely scold me again.” Said one girl gloomily. “Me too, onee-chan!” said another. Onee-chan, mo too, I’m sorry!” one said.

“It’s okay! I have to go home too or else I’ll get scold too. Bye kids!” Mikan said while smiling. “Bye!” said the kids.

When the kids left, Mikan is about to go but she notice that her bracelet is missing. “Oh no! My bracelet is missing! Hotaru is gonna kill me!” wailed Mikan.

‘I need to find it or else.’ Mikan thought. “Hmmm… I think looking for it would take a lot of time. I’ll just send onee-chan a message.” said Mikan to no one in particular.

She got out her cute pink-colored cell phone and start typing. ‘Onee-chan, I’ll be back a little later than usual please tell okaa-san about it. I lost something very dear to me you see. I’ll be back by six. Kay? Later!’ then I inserted her number and press send. After that I started looking for my bracelet.

Mikan’s POV

I burst into tears when I still haven’t found my bracelet. It’s Hotaru’s birthday gift to me. I looked in the whole park already and I still can’t find it.

My tears fell silently not noticing that there is someone walking towards me.

“Hey, are you alright?” I jumped in surprise when I heard someone talked. When I looked at the face I’m even surprise because it is Natsume. “Natsume-kun!” I thought.

End of POV

Natsume’s POV

After meeting with my friends, I hurry up to reach my house. When I pass by the park, I saw a girl crying. ‘She must be looking for something. And hmmm… she looks oddly familiar’ I thought. I walked to her but I guess she didn’t notice my presence.

I then asked her “Hey, are you alright?” she jumped, maybe she’s surprised. Then when she look up, it’s Mikan. “Mikan-san!” I thought. “N-Natsume-kun, what are you doing in here?” she asked while wiping her tears away.

“Well, I am supposed to go home but I saw you here crying like an idiot so I think there might be a problem.” I replied.

“Oh, is that so? I’m sorry to disturb you. It’s just that my bracelet is missing. It’s very precious to me because it is given by Hotaru-chan.” Mikan replied apologetically forcing to smile.

“Do you need any help?” I asked her. “Sure, why not? But I really don’t want to bother you.” Mikan replied. “It’s okay. What friends are for? And it will get dark soon so it’s not safe for you. We’re neighbors anyways so it’s okay.” Natsume reasoned. “Okay, thank you!” Mikan said happily.

So we both went searching for her missing bracelet. I went to the trees, bushes, see-saw, swing, slide but I can’t find it.

Then I walk towards the sandbox and started looking. Then I think I saw something. Its color is pink and quite small. I picked it up and voila it’s a bracelet.

Then I heard a splash of water and a barking of a dog. I went to the pond and saw a dripping wet Mikan.

End of POV

Mikan’s POV

‘Hate that dog! He surprises me! Now I’m wet and definitely cold!; I thought angrily. Then I saw Natsume walking towards me.

‘How embarrassing! I hope there is no frog in here.’ I thought again.

“Hey, you okay?” he asked me. “I’m fine, thank you!” I replied then I heard a ‘KOKAK! KOKAK!’ a big ugly frog! Then I screamed “Kyaaa!! There’s a frog in here! Eewww!!” while running to Natsume.

“Hey, you alright? It’s just a frog you know. It won’t harm you.” said Natsume comforting me. “Whatever, those slimy Amphibians order Anura are really disgusting you know!” I said while shivering because of the coldness of the environment.

Then, Natsume removed his jacket and place it on my shoulder. “Here, put this on or might catch a cold.” he told me. “Okay, thank you!” I thanked him.

“Why did you fell anyway?” Natsume asked me. “Well I thought I saw something then that ugly mean dog bark at me so I’m surprised and lost my balance. Then I fell on the pond.” I replied while smiling sheepishly.

“Oh, so what does you bracelet look like?” he asked me again. “Well its color is pink with a little violet in the string then it has hearts and stars as its design. Why did you find it?” I replied.

“Unfortunately, I did. It’s in the sandbox.” He said in a matter-of-fact tone. “Oh, is that so? How come I didn’t saw it? I asked.

“Do you want to know the answer? Well maybe it’s because you’re an idiot! Pol-ka-dots!” Natsume answered me in a teasing tone.

“What do you mean polkadots?!” I said then thought for a while then stuttered. “D-do yy-you mean yyy-you ss-saw my-my-my?!”

He then smirked at me. “Not as dense as I thought.” He said. Then I shouted at him “Why you!” while chasing after him.

“It is not my fault that you showed it to me you know, baka! You sure have a weird taste of choosing your un-der-wear.” He said in a teasing way.

He ran to our houses’ direction and stopped in front of our house. “You’re so mean Natsume’kun!!” I said while panting. “I knew that already Polkadots.” He said in a joking way. “Why you?! You’re so going to get it!” I said angrily to him. He just smirked.

Then I hug him. “But anyway, thank you very much for helping me!” and kissed him in the cheek. “Bye!” I said while smiling and walk towards our house. He then walked to his house.

End of POV
Natsume’s POV

Weeks had passed ever since I helped her. We talked more than usual and she smiles more at me.

Every time she looks or smiles at me, I can’t help myself to blush. I have this weird feeling that makes me blush without she doing anything and she can even make my heart beat faster.

Then one day, I and the guys are going to eat our food under one of the trees when I saw Mikan under the tree chatting with her friends. She looks really pretty and her friends’ beauty can not be compared to hers.

I didn’t notice that I stop walking for a second. Then, in the corner of my eyes I saw my best pal looks at me and Mikan suspiciously.

“What?!” I asked him with a sound of irritation in my voice.

“Oh nothing, it’s just that I thought I saw you blushing while looking at while looking at Sakura-san” Ruka replied in his teasing tone while smiling.

“Then there must be something wrong with your eyes.” I said then I took a short glance at Polkadots and she is smiling sheepishly to her friends. I blushed again.

“But I think there is nothing wrong with my eyes. Well, maybe you have a fever because you can’t possibly just by looking at Sakura-san. Don’t you?” Ruka said in his teasing tone again with his annoying smile.

“Oh, just shut up!” I said. “Is just me or you are just lost of words? Ruka continued his teasing. Why can’t he? It isn’t often to see me like this so he’s taking his chance.

‘That idiot!’ I thought. “Hn. Whatever.” I said emotionlessly. ‘Thank God Koko and Yuu are talking in the back so they didn’t hear our conversation.” I thought while I smile to myself.

I took a seat under the tree and took a rest before I eat. The guys took a seat too and started eating. Ruka started a conversation.

“So what are you talking about?” “Well, I’, just asking Koko about him being my partner for our dissection in our Biology class.” Yuu said.

“How about you guys, what are you talking about?” Koko asked Ruka. “Well, I just asked the almighty Natsume Hyuuga if he ever have any crush or if he likes someone because his face is terribly red minutes ago.” Ruka said trying to hold his laughter.

“So is there any?” the two asked Ruka since they know that I’ll just ignore them. “Who knows, only Natsume knows that?” Ruka said looking at me. Then I thought ‘Maybe I do like her, so what it is just a small crush.’

End of POV

Mikan’s POV

I’m eating my food while chatting with the girls when I saw Natsume-kun.

It has been 3 weeks ever since he helped me looked for my bracelet. I am so grateful to him. If I weren’t able to find it I might me dead already. I giggle silently to myself.

After that day, whenever I saw him, I can’t help myself not to blush and my heart beats faster. Maybe, this is what people feels when we have someone we like.

I think I saw him look at me for a second and I can’t help but smile. “Maybe I do like him, but it’s just a crush isn’t it?” I asked myself.

Then I saw my friends are looking at me suspiciously. “What?” I asked them innocently.

“Well, we just saw you blush when Hyuuga walk pass us.” Stated Anna. “What do you mean?” I asked them again.

“Well, we were just suspecting that you have a HUGE C-R-U-S-H on Hyuuga.” Nonoko continued. “Of course not! You’ve gotta be kidding me!” I said defending myself.

“Why not? He is smart and handsome, just your type.” Hotaru ended. “Uh huh, uh huh!” Nonoko and Anna said.

“Okay, I give up! But it is just a really really small as in teenee-tiny crush you know! I said. “Oh really?” said the three. “Yes!” I replied to them.

“So how and when did this start?” asked Anna. Then I told them what happened. “How sweet!” squealed the two.

“You don’t really need to do that because you know I can give you a new one you know.” Hotaru said.

“It’s okay! And you know, if I didn’t do that I wouldn’t get close to him and that is definitely not nice…” I said to her and we changed the topic.
