AN: Hi! I'm back with my second story! I just got the inspiration to write a ShunxAlice, but I'm not quite sure where I'm going with this. Ah well, let's just see where this goes, kay? Also, there will be hints of RunoxDan and JuliexBilly, but that's not really mentioned in the first chapter.

By the way, thank you so much for the feedback on my other story! It's nice to know that people like it ^_^ If you have not yet read it, you definitely should go and check it out. It's amazing. Not that I'm biased or anything... xD

Disclaimer: I own nothing other than the plot, my OCs, and my love for writing.

Enjoy!

He discretely watched her, observing her as she slept. She remained blissfully unaware of his stare, as her auburn hair framed her face and kept the teacher from noticing her lack of attention. She appeared completely relaxed, and he smirked slightly at the sight.

She shifted a bit after a while. He kept his face carefully neutral, as her eyes fluttered open, revealing her chocolate brown eyes. He knew that she was unintentionally attracting him even more, but he did not care. The movement held his gaze, stealing his breath, and the tiny yawn she gave afterward was just so damn cute.

His decision implemented itself further as he turned his attention back toward the rambling man they called a teacher. He crossed his arms together over his chest as he leaned back into the metal back of his chair. It would be difficult, he knew, as she had many admirers, but he would have her.

Shun Kazami planned to have Alice Gehabich. And what he wanted, he always got. It was as simple as that.

oOo

Chapter One

oOo

"Julie," she hissed, stressing the name. "Please give it back."

"Who do you think sent it?" the quirky girl smirked back, toying with the little card attached to the rose. The name Alice Gehabich was written on the note, the handwriting a beautiful, neat cursive. "You have so many guys falling at your feet, it'll be impossible to know which one!"

From his position in front of them, Shun Kazami's eyes narrowed.

Alice bit her lip, giving Julie a desperate look. "Just give me the flower."

"But I want to know who gave it to you!" Julie Makimoto pouted at her conservative friend, "Besides, you have so many at home anyway, it won't make a difference if you just threw it away!"

"Well, whoever sent it made a very nice gesture and it is only polite of me to keep it," she frowned, appalled at the thought of being rude. "So, give it back!"

"Nope!" Julie shouted, leaning back. The rose remained just out of Alice's reach, even as she tried to grab it. She smirked at her victory, until someone behind her plucked it out of the girl's grip. A blue haired girl stood behind her, arms crossed in disapproval at her behavior.

"Really Julie? Again? Stop teasing the poor girl!" Runo Misaki scolded, handing the rose back to the grateful red-head. Alice cradled the rose in her palm, looking at the bruised petals sadly.

"W-what?" Julie blinked. "Where did you come from?"

Runo shook her head, "In case you haven't noticed, I'm in your HOMEROOM." She yelled the last word into the pink clad girl to emphasize. A few heads turned to see what the commotion was, but once they glimpsed the fiery bluenette, they quickly returned to whatever it was they were doing.

"Oh," Julie rubbed her head sheepishly, "I knew that. Of course I did." She clapped her hands together and nodded her head, smiling cheerily at them.

"Of course you did." Runo rolled her eyes. She then turned to the softly smiling Alice, who was watching them with an amused glint in her eye. "So who sent it?"

"I don't know. It didn't come with a name." Alice shook her head, bemused.

"Hmph. As much as I hate to say it Alice, you really should just throw it away. Besides, any guy who can't fess up to it is probably just a coward anyway." Runo sniffed.

Shun's hands clenched, but he made sure not to draw attention to himself. He merely stiffened a little at the insult and continued to gauge Alice's reaction to the small flower. He had placed it on her desk before anyone entered in hopes she would take a liking to the gesture.

"Now Runo, don't jump to conclusions," Alice lightly reprimanded her friend. "He's probably just shy."

"Pft, shy or not, it doesn't matter anyway." Julie cut in, a gleeful look on her face, "It's still something. I think it's sweet."

Alice nodded her head absentmindedly, agreeing with her statement. It was a really nice thing to do for her. Even though she had many admirers, many just asked her outright without considering how she felt about the attention they would draw.

At that second, in a moment of pure irony, a tall, sliver haired boy approached the trio. Shun watched from the corner of his eye, making sure to be discrete. The boy inclined his head towards Runo and Julie, before turning his attention to Alice. He gently lifted the girl's hand, the one that wasn't wrapped around the rose, to his mouth. Kissing her hand lightly, he remained oblivious to Shun's sudden, but carefully masked, anger.

"Hello, my dear Alice. I trust that your weekend was satisfactory?" Klaus von Hertzon asked the blushing girl, his German accent making nearby fangirls to swoon.

"Yes, thank you Klaus. And you?" Alice returned the sentiment politely, after all, he came from a very influential family, and Alice knew better than to be rude.

"It was fine. Now, Alice, I was wondering about something?" The boy in front of her had still not let go of her hand, and was holding it gently between his own.

Alice inclined her head to the side, prompting him to speak what was on his mind.

Klaus took in a deep breath, "I was wondering if you were free anytime this week. My schedule has lightened up considerably, and it would be an honor if I could spend some time getting to know you better." He watched the steadily reddening Alice in front of him, gauging her response. The girls nearby looked ready to claw her eyes out.

Alice could feel the flush creeping up her neck as she desperately searched for a polite way to turn him down. She had nothing against the boy, but he really was a bit too sophisticated, or at least he acted that way, for her.

"Um. I'm sorry, but Runo's asked me to help out at her parent's diner, and Julie wanted me to help tutor her in math." Alice quickly made up, glancing at her friends, who were observing the scene with barely withheld smirks.

Runo, deciding to help the poor chick out, spoke up, her voice laced with amusement, "Yeah. Alice agreed to cover my shifts for the next week."

Klaus looked disappointed, but politely nodded his head in understanding. "I see. Well, I wish you luck then, my dear Alice." With that, he left the room, the fangirls dogging at his heel.

As soon as the door shut, Runo and Julie began to squeal. They began bombarding Alice with questions that left her mouth slightly gaping at the interrogation that was thrown in her face.

Shun continued to listen in, or eavesdrop you might say, sighing a bit at the stupidity of the scene. He glanced back over his shoulder at the innocent, bruised rose lying on her desk and cursed von Hertzon for having distracted her with his absolutely ridiculous attraction. That had been his only mission for the day, yet it seemed to have pretty much blown up in his face.

As the duo continued to fire questions at the object of his affection, Shun wondered briefly why he had chosen Alice to be the recipient of his adoration. However, a quick glance to his left, where a clump of girls who were staring possessively at him with something akin to love, answered that question rather quickly.

Alice Gehabich was kind, sweet, and not obsessively in "love" with him. She didn't care for his handsome looks, opting instead to judge based on their personality. Her beauty, intelligence, and willingness to help others only cemented the deal.

Sooner or later, he would have her, and no one was going to stand in his way.

oOo

"It can't be a coincidence," Julie whispered to her best friends the next day.

However, Alice and Runo merely continued to stare at the gorgeous, silver bunny charm resting on Alice's desk. The same white tag was attached to the little chain, with the neat Alice Gehabich curling on the paper.

Runo let out a low whistle, "Dang, now I really want to know who's giving you this stuff. I wonder if they knew your favorite animal was a bunny, or if it was just a coincidence."

"I… I don't know," Alice whispered, awestruck at the simple, yet beautiful charm lying innocently on the desk. "It's so pretty though! But it must have cost a fortune…"

She gently lifted it by the golden chain that was attached to it. The little rabbit spun slightly as it was suspended in the air. Carefully, she brought it up and over her head, before letting it drop to rest above her chest. It, amazingly, went very well with her outfit.

"Hey! Maybe it's from Klaus!" Julie suddenly piped up, a bright look in her eyes. Alice nodded slowly, after all, it could be. He was very rich.

But Runo shook her head, "Nah. I know him. If he was going to give you something, he would give it outright. We all saw how he asked Alice out yesterday, right?"

Julie visibly deflated, but a few girls who were listening in brightened up considerably. Alice shook her head slowly in bewilderment. Who kept on giving her these things? And to spend so much money on her, yet she was completely clueless as to who her secret admirer was.

Shun, who was also paying close attention to the conversation at hand, albeit more secretively than the fangirls over yonder, felt his ego grow slightly at Alice's obvious appreciation for the present. Tossing a quick glance over his shoulder, his pride swelled at the look of admiration on the red-head's face. Knowing that he was the one to put it there, even if she herself didn't know, elated him.

Suddenly, Shun felt something clamping onto his arm with a vice like grip. Startled, but refusing to show any outward sign, he stared at the girl that was hanging off of him with hearts in her eyes. He had to think for a moment before her name came to mind.

Alicia Talijo, from what he heard was the president of his fan club, was currently holding onto to his arm as if her life depended on it, and for her, it probably felt like it did. She had a soppy, slavish look on her face. Shun supposed that she thought this was "seductive", but he only found it repulsive.

"Shun! Wow, I can't believe we ran into each other! What a surprise!" She giggled madly, her voice coming out high-pitched enough to make him wince. And what surprise? He wouldn't be shocked if she had deliberately came just to attack him.

"Talijo, would you mind letting go of my arm?" His voice was quiet, but it had a clear undertone of warning that made the girl flinch back slightly.

"Ooh, rejected!" Runo crooned from behind her. It was no secret that Alicia and Runo hated each other, the two often having cat fights or verbal spars. It must have been too much for her to resist butting in.

"Shut up, Misaki! I heard you and Kuso are having another fight. How does it feel to have the only guy willing to go out with you kiss another girl?" Alicia spat at her. Runo's eyes narrowed and Julie rose angrily beside her. Even kind Alice had a deep frown on her face.

"Talijo, everyone knows that you sent that chick to kiss him, knowing that Dan is the only guy stupid enough to not push her away," Julie snarled, immediately jumping to her friend's defense.

Runo was so mad that she didn't even bother telling Julie off for calling her boyfriend stupid. If anything, she agreed that he was an idiot. But that wasn't the case here. The bitch in front of her just crossed a line that she really shouldn't have.

She strode forward until she was face to face with the she devil. Towering over Alicia's short 5' 2", she glared down at her as if she were the scum at the bottom of her shoe, "Listen here you slut. That is one, none of your business, and two; at least we're still dating. We don't sleep around the entire school spreading Herpes, unlike someone we all know and hate."

A look of hate flashed over her features, a sneer finding its way onto Alicia's face. She shoved Runo roughly, "Ha! You actually believe that rumor? Do you really think I'm stupid enough to get an STD?"

The bluenette gave her a deadpan look, "Yes." She then shoved her back, just as forceful. The girl teetered on her 5 inch stilettos, her arms flailing as she struggled to regain her balance.

Unfortunately, Shun was caught off guard by an arm that whacked the back of his head. He immediately turned and glared at the offender. Alicia who had finally regained her balance look horrified.

"I'm so sorry, Shun! It was all Misaki's fault, she pushed me!" She cried, cowering under his harsh glare.

"I wasn't the one who hit him. If anything, you started it!" Runo retorted, crossing her arms and looking away with a huff.

Alice gently laid a hand on the girl's arm, and gave Shun an apologetic look, "What Runo means is that she's sorry, and that hitting you was unintentional." She carefully left out the fact that Runo had definitely meant to push Alicia.

"Don't talk to him!" Alicia screamed, "You have no right—"

"Shut up, we're apologizing." Julie growled.

Shun shot Alicia an annoyed glance, and she immediately backed off.

Julie rolled her eyes. Once upon a time she was a good friend of Alicia's, but unfortunately, Alicia had discovered two things: One, popularity. Two, her "love" for Shun. It seemed that she got worse with each day, unable to make Shun notice her. She tried everything she knew, but the boy continued to look the other way, and Alicia's little heart just could not take it.

"I'm fine," Shun muttered, catching Alice's eye. The warm brown sparkled gratefully, smiling at him relieved. Shun felt his breath catch in his throat.

Alice Gehabich, though, remained oblivious.

He turned to Alicia, who looked on the verge of tears. He would've felt sympathy for her if she didn't stalk him. "Shouldn't you be getting to your own homeroom? The bell is about to ring."

Immediately, the girl's expression lit up. "Oh, how sweet of you to worry about me! But rest assured, I'll make sure I'm not late." She sent a final wink at him before turning and prancing out of the room, steadfastly ignoring Runo's not so subtle snickers behind her back.

Shun sighed as he turned his head away. Despite the smile he had received, he had gained enough information from his first plan of action to know that the gifts were nice, but not enough to give him what he completely wanted. It seemed it was time for his second plan.
