The Now or The Latter?

I am SonyaShulen.

I do not own Gakuen Alice.

Mikan and Rika are twin sisters, both are absolutely gorgeous, both have hazel-brown eyes, and brown hair. They are exactly alike, except for their personality. Which caused them to hate each other when they both fell in love with the same guy, the hot and drop-deadly gorgeous, Natsume Hyuuga.

Chapter 1 : Twins?

Mikan and Rika, both hand in hand, were from America and just transferred to Japan because they received a scholarship to study at the Alice Academy in Japan. They're both 17 years old.

"The school's humongous!" Mikan told Rika when she saw the school.

"I'm sure all the students here are rich. Hopefully they'll be my friend in no time, considering I'm beautiful!" Rika boasted as she went towards the security guard to show the entrance letter.

The guard smiled at them and opened the gate.

"Please enjoy your studies here. The faculty office is all the way straight at the building on the right. It's big. So you girls shouldn't miss it." the guard told them.

"Thanks for informing us." Mikan said politely as she and Rika headed for the office.

The moment they entered the office, they were greeted with a strong scent of roses. In front of there, stood a blond teacher wearing a lacy pink shirt and white pants, and probably the smell of roses came from the perfume he used. His name tag showed that his name was 'Mr. Narumi'. He would definitely pass as a woman if it wasn't because his tag said he was a Mr.

"Good morning. May I help you?" the blond teacher greeted them while putting his elbow on the counter.

"We are the scholarship students from America. We're both here to get our class timetables."Rika quickly told the teacher.

"Scholarship students, eh?" he began ruffling at the folders at the counter. "Ah..you're both Mikan and Rika right? Who is who may I know?"

Mikan opened her mouth to answer, "I'm M-" but she was cut off by Rika.

"I'm Rika Sakura. My sister is Mikan Sakura." Rika cut Mikan short.

"I see. Well, here are your timetables. Both of you will be in class.....3B...3B? Right.. 3B. The students there are pretty naughty, but you'll get used to them. By the way, my name is Narumi. I'll be teaching English in your class."Mr Narumi introduced himself.

"Okay, Mr Narumi. We better get going to class and meet our new classmates. Bye!" Rika said and pulled Mikan's hand and ran towards classroom 3B. Rika roughly opened the classroom door causing everyone to keep quiet for a short moment, then continue their chattering and looked at their direction. So was a teacher, with glasses and has a frog on his right shoulder.

"May I know who you girls are?" the teacher asked. He looks like a really stern and strict teacher.

"I'm Rika Sakura. And this is my sister, Mikan Sakura!" Rika said.

"Tch. What a bunch of idiotic girls. When will the academy ever get a guy to our class?" a raven haired boy with blood red pair of eyes said after Rika introduced herself.

'He is one gorgeous man. I want to be with him.' Rika thought to herself to find that Mikan was missing from her side and saw her beside the boy.

Mikan stomped on his feet and the boy said.. "OW! Idiot! Why the heck did you do that!?" the boy said.

"That's for calling us idiots when all we did was enter the classroom! Haven't you heard of any manners in school before? What do your pa-" she was cut short by the teacher in front of her.

"GIRL! I'M HAVING A CLASS HERE! PLEASE GET A SEAT AND SIT NOW SO I CAN START MY CLASS!" the teacher shouted at Mikan.

"Sorry teacher!" Rika quickly said and ran towards Mikan. There were only two more seats available. One was beside the raven haired lad and another at a blond boy and blue-ish eyes which looks kind of cute too. Rika prefered the raven haired. She quickly sat beside him. Mikan on the other hand, sat beside the blond boy.

"Hi! My name's Rika! What about you?" Rika quickly asked him.

"Who am I to tell you, brat." the boy told her and got off his seat and went out of the classroom.

"Hey, how can yo-" Rika started.

"Keep Quiet! You! Rika or whoever the girl that's screaming! Come and do this equation and see how smart you are!" the teacher said. Rika reluctantly got up her seat and went to the board. She didn't know how to do the equation and froze there.

On the other hand, Mikan and the blond boy introduced each other.

"Hey. Er.. Mikan right?" the blond boy asked.

"Yes. You are?" Mikan asked.

"My name is Ruka Nogi. About stomping on that boy's feet, you're pretty brave. No one had ever dared doing that. All the girls usually drool over him on their first day of class or whatsoever. He even had a fan club." Ruka told her.

Mikan giggled. "Nice to meet you. A fan club? He is THAT popular? Who is he actually?"

"He's the school heart-throb. His name is Natsume Hyuuga. And yes. He is VERY popular among all the girls in school. But he doesn't really care about any of them. He has several girlfriends. He could have three within a week. But Natsume doesn't do anything over the board. He's pretty decent once you know him." Ruka said. He sounded really nice talking about that Natsume-guy. They're probably best friends.

"I see. But one thing for sure, he's really rude. How can he call us idiot when all we did was enter the classroom?" Mikan asked.

"He's like tha-" Ruka was cut by the teacher.

"WRONG ANSWER SAKURA! Go back to your seat now and read your maths books properly. You'll be the first student I'll ask tomorrow morning. Study up!" the teacher told Rika.

"Who is that teacher? He's really stern." Mikan asked Ruka.

"He is Mr Jinno. None of the students here likes him. A lot of people said that his best friend is the toad on his shoulder. He teaches us maths, as you see now." Ruka laughed.

Rika grunted and sat at her seat and motioned Mikan to her table to talk to her.

"This teacher is a nuisance! How can he pick on me!? I was the best student in America and here, he's embarrassing me in front of twenty students!" Rika complained.

"I guess we have to cope." Mikan smiled and at the same time, the bell rang for lunch.

Rika and Mikan walked together out of the classroom together and went towards the cafeteria.

"Hey Mikan! Don't you think the raven haired boy is just gorgeous? I was surprised when you stepped on his feet!" Rika told Mikan.

"Gorgeous? I don't really think so. I find him rude." Mikan said.

"How can you think that! Are you sure you're a girl!?" Rika nearly shouted.

"I have no idea. I'm not really hungry. I don't think I'll eat. You go ahead and eat. I want to find a relaxing spot around the school." Mikan told Rika. Rika nodded and went off.

Mikan walked about the school. The good thing about lunch time is, it's for two hours. A very long time. She manage to find a spot full of cheery blossom trees. She saw a figure there and whoever that is looks really familiar.

'Isn't that...the Natsume guy?' Mikan asked herself when she got a clearer view.

"What do you want, idiot?" Natsume asked.

"Don't you know any decent words to call me with other than idiot or brat? My name is Mikan for your info." Mikan told him.

"I couldn't care less. I don't find any difference between you and your sister. So idiots fit well since both of you are." Natsume told her harshly.

"Well, would you like it if I called you an idiot?" Mikan challenged. She sat down beside him at the tree trunk and noticed he was reading a manga.

"You'll probably get chased off before you could." Natsume said without moving his eyes out of the book.

"Fine then. I just wanted to relax anyway." Mikan said.

"There are a lot of trees around here. Why must you sit next to me? I'm not the slightest interested if you want to be my girlfriend."

"Don't you want a friend? And I am so not interested in being your girl. Not with someone as annoying as you!" Mikan quickly responded.

"Not interested." Natsume said.

Mikan got up and walked back towards the school. "Fine then. I'll leave you alone. You're one heck of an anti-socializer, idiot." Mikan spat. Leaving him dumbfounded. No one had actually rejected him or said those words to him before. All the girls would jump on him every time they see him.

"Hey. Come here for a moment." Natsume told Mikan.

Mikan went towards him again and asked him.. "What?"

"You don't find me attractive at all?"Natsume asked.

"You? Attractive?" Mikan scoffed. "So NOT! I don't really go for looks. I go for guys that have a good personality. Guys that a rude are really ugly to my eyes." Mikan said.

"Hn. What is I do something to you, do you think you'll fall for me?" Natsume said. A smirk curving up his lips.

"Do what?" Mikan said bravely.

"Hmm.." he said as he motioned closer to her and peck her lips. She blushed in a few shades of red and quickly pulled away.

"Why did you do that for, pervert!?" Mikan said. Covering her lips and wiping it.

"Seeing whether you will find me attractive after that." he was one hundred percent smirking now.

"Attractive!? After kissing me? Go on hoping!" Mikan turned and ran back to the school grounds. Natsume laughed to himself. He found himself laughing so hard and that never happened before from the time she died. 'Emiko...' Natsume turned sad when he thought about the name. A smirk re-entered his lips when he thought, 'She's one interesting girl. She also looks a little like Emiko. I'll play with her until I'm tired.'

Natsume spent the entire time until lunch time was over. Thinking about his only love. Emiko. The girl that touched his heart and he fell madly in love with her. Because she was a klutz, not beautiful but cute, loving and brave. 'Emiko.. where are you know when I really need you? When I really need your love? I love you, Emiko. Why must you save me from that mission? Why must you put your life in danger? Was it worth risking?' He got up and headed for the school grounds as well. 'If only I can protect you. If only I was stronger than.'

END OF CHAPTER

The last line was inspired from a book. I wasn't sure what book it was though.

Hopefully, I'll have the mood to continue writing the second chapter. I wrote this within 20 minutes because I didn't want to forget about it.

Rest in peace Michael Jackson!

You'll forever be in my heart as a music idol!
