Crash and Burn: The Story of Love or Hate – Gakuen Alice

A/N: I love the reviews. Some of them make me giggly. Anyways, I love the reviews! I already said that… hm… I have nothing to say for once… yet I am still typing… onto the story!

Chapter Three: Hyuuga, Leave me Alone!

Leave me alone
Get out of my face
I'm tired and low
Feeling so misplaced
Time for you to go
Guess I know I'm better off on my own, oh
Leave me alone

-Leave Me Alone

The Veronicas-

I sighed as I read over the lyrics that Hotaru had written. How did they talk me into this band… oh yeah, Hotaru blackmailed me… man, I don't want to sing in front of a bunch of people!

At least Hotaru knew how to write lyrics. I sighed, and lightly sung the lyrics in my head as I thought about how Hotaru became so evil.

Flashback

"Mikan-chan, wanna join our band?" Nonoko asked me, smirking. I 

wondered what the hell she was smirking about.

"No, I don't enjoy singing in front of people." I said, turning to the three girls who were staring at me.

"Either way you will end up doing it." Hotaru said, a cruel smirk forming on her face. Okay, that was a little creepy.

"And why would I end up doing something against my will?" I questioned, raising an eyebrow.

"Because if you don't the entire school will find out that you like Natsume Hyuuga, and that you kissed him." 

The Ice Queen said, evil smirk still on her place and dollar signs in her eyes.

"And why would you think I like Natsume Hyuuga, and why the hell would I ever kiss the sick bastard." I demanded, annoyed.

"When you just said, 'And why would you think I like Natsume Hyuuga' I recorded it. It is easy to cut it to 'I like Natsume Hyuuga' and I can Photoshop a picture of you kissing him. Simple as that," Hotaru said, "And I could sell the picture for twenty dollars each."

"You wouldn't do that." I said unsurely.

"Oh, Mikan-chan, something to learn about Hotaru is that she will do anything to make money." Anna said, smiling at me brightly. My eyes widened a bit. That is so wrong.

And thus I was blackmailed into joining a band…

End of Flashback

I really need to steel that recording she has…she probably already made copies. Damn… well, hopefully it isn't that bad singing in front of the entire school.

Never mind, who the hell am I fooling, I am actually nervous. And that is rare. No one in my family has 

even heard me sing, and now I am in a band as the lead vocals.

"Come on Mikan, we need to practice our songs! The concert is in a week, and we need to be prepared!" Anna said, jumping around, being all hyper like. Who gave her sugar?

"Hai, Hai, I'm coming." I said, standing up and getting on the practice stage.

Nonoko started beating on the drums and Anna started pounding down the keyboard keys. I tapped my foot to the beat as Hotaru started playing the base guitar and singing some back up vocals. I strummed my guitar and 

began singing, pretty well if I may say so myself, until…

BANG BANG BANG…

The door busted open, revealing Natsume, Ruka, Koko, and Yuu (Iinchou).

"What the hell are you doing, interrupting our damned practice?!" I demanded, stomping down the stages steps.

"We are going to practice with our band here. So, leave." Natsume said coldly, glaring at me.

"Too bad Hyuuga, we are using the room." Hotaru said from on the stage, 

I turned to find her with an unreadable expression.

"Get out." Natsume said blandly.

"Why don't you, and take your clones with you." Nonoko snapped. I smiled at her, hm, she had a really good point, his little group didn't talk, they just stood behind Natsume like he was an almighty god or something. Tch, how lame.

"Yep, we have to practice with Mikan-chan, our new member!" Anna said, placing her hands on hips.

"Practice somewhere else." Natsume said, his voice showed his anger though his face stayed blank.

"N-Natsume-san, why don't we practice somewhere else-" Yuu began nervously.

"No we won't, they can." Natsume spat angrily.

"It would be wise to listen to him, Hyuuga." I said rolling my eyes

"No we won't, they can." Natsume spat angrily.

"It would be wise to listen to him, Hyuuga." I said rolling my eyes.

"Why, you gonna put me in a dress and put make-up on me if I don't? You are just a girl, and your girly." Natsume said, smirking at me. Yes, the bastard was smirking at me. 

Damn, he has some kind of nerve to think he can get away with that.

"Oh, Hyuuga's got nerve, or… a death wish, perhaps?" I asked, smirking once his smirk turned into a glare.

He didn't reply. "Cat got your tongue? Or are you just too moronic to say a comeback that is actually a bit witty?" I said sarcastically, I heard Anna giggling.

"Whatever…" Was all he said, before leaving? Wow, that was surprisingly easy, wasn't it??

"Wimps," I muttered under my breath, but the girls heard. Hotaru 

smirked slightly, while Anna giggled and Nonoko nodded in agreement.

Normal POV:

A figure lurking in the shadows of a tree, outside the practicing room's window smirked. He watched as the groups argued and the boys group departed slowly. He looked from Mikan to Natsume. This would be interesting.

Sorry it is short but I need to get some sleep. Two days without it is difficult 4 me! Heh, I am falling asleep as I write it. (Yawn…) Well, I guess bye and please review to make me all happy… Please? Thanks for reading!!
