Gakuen Alice - SS501/OCs
Chapter 2
The next day passed by uneventfully. Wake up, eat breakfast, math, history, biology, homeroom, ability classes. Classes were boring as usual, except for the Special Abilities class; that's always entertaining. Kyujong was also in the SA class, so we chatted a bit more than usual - which wasn't saying much since I skipped most of my classes anyway.
It was a nice day out; perhaps I could persuade Yoochun sunsaengnim to let me sit out while everyone played basketball. It was disgusting to get all sweaty.
I overheard some people talking while I was walking outside.
"She already helps out on missions - it wouldn't hurt." Xiah sunsaengnim. (Dangerous Abilities homeroom.)
"No. She's in the Special Abilities class. Not the Dangerous Abilities." Wasn't that Jaejoong sunsaengnim's voice? (Jaejoong was the homeroom teacher for the Special Abilities class.)
"It wouldn't be hard to move her into that class."
"But why? That class is for Alices that could potentially harm others. Shadow manipulation doesn't even come close to that category."
They were arguing over moving me into the Dangerous Abilities class? My eyes widened as I hid behind the wall to continue eavesdropping.
"That's what the Elementary School Principal wants."
"That's not a good reason."
"Headmaster's orders."
"You still haven't answered why."
"Her shadow manipulation abilities are exemplary! No other student with her Alice has ever been able to get to a Special Star within the time she did. She was a Special Star before she was out of the Elementary Division!"
At Alice Academy, we were ranked on our Alice type and by the way we were able to control them. Technically we were evaluated on our schoolwork, Alice level and, sadly, our attitude. We wear gold stars on our collars to show our star ranking (there are five). The number/type of stars on our collars represent the benefits and advantages for each student. First, there are no-stars. Those are usually for children who don't have the skill to use their Alices yet, or you could say, below average. Single stars are average, but not that advanced at their work or their Alice usage. Double stars were above average but not exactly.. exceptionally advanced at their studies or their Alice. Triple are students who are considered "over achievers" and are really good at their Alice use and at their studies. And Special Star. I quote, "Students who are considered the best of the best, signified by a label in the shape of a star enclosed in a circle. Students of this rank excel tremendously in their Alice and, if they care, their studies. Also known as the 'Principal student'."
"Just because of that, you want her on missions? She's a Double Star right now."
"We can always give her back her Special Star status."
"..."
They turned and continued down the opposite hallway. I tried to understand all the information that I had just taken in.
I had known that there had been talk of moving me into the Dangerous Abilities class - I just didn't want to acknowledge that rumour. I had been helping the school on too many "missions" lately, and it was getting more and more dangerous. If I were moved into the DA class, then I knew that there would be even more missions. But now that there were teachers talking about it; I knew it was going to happen soon.
On the up side, I might be getting my Special Star ranking back.

"Pssst Bridgit!" I threw another rock at her window. It was dark out, but I was perfectly comfortable. I flourished in the shadows. Lights out had been a few hours ago, but this was a normal occurrence for me. I loved the night, the cool breezes and the beautiful stars and moon kept me company.
I needed to talk to her. She wasn't in any of our classes and I hadn't seen her all day. I really wanted to tell her about how Kyujong had said he was worried about her. Knowing how she would react, I giggled slightly. She would freak out and spew incoherent sentences at me for about 30 seconds, blush furiously and then hide her face within her hands.
Hearing no response, I sighed. It didn't matter. I could always tell her tomorrow when I saw her.
Heading towards the Northern Woods, since it was my favourite place to be alone in, I heard a twig break a small distance behind me, and all my senses flared up at once. Spinning around quietly, I glared towards the source of the sound. I could see another person walking towards me.
Darting into the darkness beside the building, I crouched down. Who was it? If it was a teacher then I was screwed. If it was a student, I could easily stop them; they were standing in the shadows after all. Peering at them, I was startled to see that the person was facing me. What? How could they know I was here? The shadows should be covering everything.
“Yah. I know you’re there.”
That voice. Oh no. Why him of all people? Aish, I was hoping it was some unsuspecting student that I didn’t know, so I would feel no guilt in stopping them. But of course, it would have to be the one person that I was unable to protect myself against.
A flare of red caught my eye, as Jungmin conjured up a small fire. And obviously, the flickering flames that danced around lit up the ground causing my shadows to disappear.
“What are you doing out here?” I snarled, hating the person standing opposite of me. Hating how his flames cut out my shadows. I knew I was out of my comfort zone, and I knew that he knew that as well. I hated how the smirk on his face caused my heart to twist and want to burst. I hated how I couldn’t deny that I was slightly happy that it was him. But most of all, I hated how I didn’t really hate him. Aish, what was up with me?
“Walking.”
“Keep walking then.”
I pouted and got up to walk the other direction, but suddenly it was dark again. Why did he put out the flames? Oh my god, he was going to attack me wasn’t he? I moved to start running but suddenly my hand was tightly grabbed and I was thrown against a strong chest. I was hugged tightly for a few seconds and then let go. Stunned, I didn’t move. What had just happened? Why did Jungmin just hug me? Wait.. had I imagined that?
"Mochi.." My nickname. I haven't heard him use that in forever. Why? Why not? I didn't understand what was going on. He hugged me so tightly, and then he murmurs my name in that soft-spoken way. The last time I had ever heard him address in my such a nice way was the day before he broke up with me. I didn't understand. At all. And as I was pondering about this, I felt it.
A pair of lips on top of mine.
