Chapter Segment: Rena x Jurina [Part 2]~BEEP! BEEP! BEEP! BEEP!~“Mm... Not again...” Jurina grumbled as she woke up at the annoying noise her alarm clock was making. The beeping persisted, “Alright already, shut up!” she raised her hand from under her sheets and slammed the palm of her hand on the snooze button. The infernal contraption finally stopped its hellish noise.
Poking her head out from under the blanket, she looked at the time, “Eight thirteen...” It took her awhile for her sleepy brain to process the numbers; she simply just stared at the clock and then yawned. Soon, it finally dawned on Jurina, “Eight... THIRTEEN?! AHH!! I’M GOING TO BE LATE!!”
Jurina literally sprang out of her bed and ran out her room and into the washroom. Within 10 minutes or so, she returned to her room and got changed into her uniform all the while muttering, “Late first thing on my second week. That’s great, just great.”
Jurina ran downstairs like lightning, fully knowing that it is not safe. She turned the corner and opened the door to the living/dining room, “Mom! Why didn’t you—” she yelled but Ma-Matsui wasn’t anywhere to be seen. “Mom?” She took a few steps in as she caught sight of food on the dinner table wrapped in plastic. Next to it was a note which Jurina picked up and began to read:
“Gone to work early
Made your breakfast and lunch
Don’t forget to lock the door before you leave for school
Love you ~ Mom”Crumpling and clenching the note, “Gah!! At least tell me if you’re going to work early!” Jurina exclaimed. Actually, she was reminded that Ma-Matsui had to go to work early but Jurina wasn’t listening because she was napping in her room after she came home the day before.
Breakfast was simple. It was toasted bread with a fried egg on top and some miso soup. Jurina didn’t really have to eat so she glugged down the soup and just took the toasted bread, leaving the fried egg under the plastic wrap. With that, Jurina ran out the door, but without locking the door first.
Toast in her mouth, Jurina grabbed her bag and blazer and ran down the street to the nearest bus stop. She knew if she was able to catch the bus now, she would be able to make it in time for school. However, by the time she got there, the bus had already left. “No!” she cried in distress. If Jurina waited for the next bus to come, she’d be even later. With that, Jurina began run.
On the road, a silver Toyota was driving through the street, the driver, Rena Matsui. She was casually making her way to the academy until she took notice of Jurina on the sidewalk running. “Is that... Jurina-chan?” Rena sped up a bit and honks the horn.
“AHH!!” The honk scared Jurina causing her to jump out to the side, dropping her toast on the ground. Her heart raced like crazy.
Rena pulled over and rolled down the window, “Running late, are we?”
“Rena-sensei?” Jurina tried to compose herself but still, her heart was beating really fast. “Uh... Good morning.”
Rena laughed, “Get in; we’ll go to school together.”
“But...”
“Just do it. I’m sure you don’t want to be late on your second week.” Rena then rolled up the window and Jurina hesitantly went to the passenger side. Was Rena really keeping track?
Jurina got in the passenger seat. She was a little shy about getting into a teacher’s car, especially one she had just met once last week. Buckling up, she placed her school bag in her lap and looked around a bit. She couldn’t help but noticed that the interior was very clean, too clean, and there was some kind of smell that came that filled the air in there. “Is this a new car?” Jurina asked.
“Actually, yes. How did you know?” Rena pulled in the street again and drove.
“It has that... new car scent.”
Rena laughed, still keeping her eyes on the road, “Haha... I see. I actually got this car about a month ago. I guess it still has that smell, but I never really noticed it. I didn’t really like taking the bus and waking up early to catch the bus is not really one my strengths.”
“I thought waking up early wouldn’t be a problem for you.”
“It’s not but I still don’t like waking up early so I don’t consider that a strength,” Rena glanced over and Jurina made eye contact “I see it’s also not one of your strengths as well, Jurina-chan.” She smiled. Jurina then looked away and blushed, recalling this morning.
The rest of the ride was in silence. It was unusual for Jurina; she felt comfortable in her seat. Usually she would feel a little uneasy being in a stranger’s car but there was something about Rena that made her feel totally relax. Maybe it was the soothing aura that Rena had that calmed her. Probably but maybe there’s something else too but Jurina couldn’t quite put her finger on it. She steals a few glances at Rena to try to figure it out but every now and then Rena would catch her and she’d just looked away.
Rena finally pulled up into the school parking lot with 10 minutes to spare. She and Jurina unbuckled and exited the vehicle. Lightly slamming the doors closed, Rena locked the car.
“Rena-sensei,” Jurina bowed, “thank you for the ride.” Rena nodded and instructed Jurina to hurry to class so she won’t be late.
Most of the students had already arrived by the time Jurina got to her classroom. Jurina sat at her desk and rested her forehead on the surface while releasing a sigh of relief. She felt exhausted all of a sudden. Mizuki approached and stood beside her and Kumi in front.
“Good morning Jurina-chan. Jurina-chan?” Kumi tilted her head to the side.
“Are you alright?” Mizuki asked.
Kumi poked Jurina’s head, “I think she just died.”
“Dying on the already? That’s not very good.”
Jurina turned her head to expose her face and looked at them, “I’m tired, alright? My morning was all rushed because I woke up late. So I had to run to get to the bus station but I missed the bus. So then I had to run to get here because if I waited, I would have been even later. At least that was until...” she trailed off.
“Oh? Until...” Mizuki’s interested was piqued.
Jurina shifted her head again so that her face was flat on the table again, “Until Rena-sensei picked me up and drove me to school,” her words were muffled but the message went across clearly.
“Eh?! You got to ride in Rena-sensei’s car? Lucky!!” Mizuki exclaimed.
“I wish I can get a ride from Rena-sensei, but my dad drives me to the academy. But for some reason, he lets me walk home.” Kumi looked off into the air thinking.
Jurina wondered what was so great about getting a ride from her. Was it because she’s beautiful and kind? It’s most likely so. Somehow Jurina began to wonder if these traits help her land boyfriends. Wait, does Rena have a boyfriend? Jurina wondered.
“You know, honestly, I didn’t even think she had a car. It must be a really nice one.” Mizuki commented in the background.
Jurina wasn’t listening at this point and abruptly changed the subject, “Hey, guys, do you think Rena-sensei has a boyfriend?”
“Huh, a boyfriend? Hm... Well, it wouldn’t be that surprising if she does.”
Kumi nodded, “She is beautiful and really nice. It probably won’t be surprising if she has several.”
Jurina looked at Kumi, “I don’t think Rena-sensei is like that.” Kumi shrugged.
“Hm... I don’t think anyone has even asked her if she does. Rena-sensei doesn’t really show any signs of having one though.”
“Then why not ask her? The best way to get an answer is to ask. We can have lunch in the infirmary; I’m sure she won’t mind.”
Kumi nodded, “Yeah, I’d really like to know.”
Jurina‘s thoughts drifted again when lunch was mentioned, “Ah!” she lightly slapped her forehead, “I forgot my lunch! I was in such a rush that I forgot to pack it. Ugh... and I left my wallet at home too. Great...”
Kumi patted Jurina’s head, “It’s ok, and you can share mine. Mom always gives me a big lunch.”
“Are you sure?” Jurina asked and Kumi nodded, “Thanks, Kuumin”
“Who knows, you’ve been lucky enough to get a ride from Rena-sensei; you might even get food from her too”
“I can’t do that, that’s asking too much.” Jurina said to Mizuki, “I don’t want to be a burden on her. But I think I already am.”
“I really doubt that.”
After that moment, the teacher walked in and everyone returned to their seats. Class went on normal throughout the morning. Well, almost normal. Half way in, faint growling noises filled the room and they came from Jurina. Everyone was polite enough to ignore them and act like nothing was happening, but Jurina knew they can hear. She had to flex and suck in her stomach to prevent it from being so loud. “Come on, stomach, and quiet down. Don’t embarrass me.” She tried to negotiate silently. At last, the lunch bell rang.
Jurina let out a sigh of relief, “It’s finally lunch time. I’m starving,” she said as she placed her notebooks inside her desk.
“Let’s go, hungry-butt!” Mizuki called out. She went for the door with Kumi who giggled.
Jurina got up and followed suit, “Don’t call me that!”
Walking down the hall and a flight of stairs, the girls made their way to the infirmary where Rena-sensei dwelled during school hours. Sliding the door open, the girls announced themselves “Excuse us! Rena-sensei~”
Rena was sitting on her chair at her desk while munching on a rice ball. She swivelled the chair, “Oh. Kuwabara-san, Yagami-san,” she took notice of Jurina behind her friends, “and Jurina-chan.”
“Hey, Rena-sensei.” Jurina greeted.
“’Jurina-chan’?” Mizuki raised a brow at Jurina and gave her a questioning look. Jurina looked back at Mizuki with a clueless expression. “Already on a first-name basis?”
“Sensei, can we have lunch here with you?” Kumi asked.
Rena smiled, “Sure, I don’t mind. Make yourself at home.”
“Yay!” Mizuki and Kumi exclaimed. The girls were about to sit at the table in the middle of the room but another two students show up at the infirmary. Seems that these girls want Mizuki and Kumi to come with them to their clubroom to help out a few things, and they were in a hurry too. Reluctant but agreeing to leave, Mizuki and Kumi went with them, “Have fun with Rena-sensei~”
“Wait! Weren’t we supposed to ask her?” Jurina asked her friends just before they left.
Rena tilted her to the side, “Hm? Ask what?”
“Fine,” Kumi looked back as she turns to the door, “Rena-sensei, do you have a boyfriend?”
“Huh? Um... No I don’t.”
“There you have it. Got to go, bye!” She leaves with a wave. Jurina was dumbfounded about how easy and quick that was.
“Ah, Kuumin! You’re supposed to share your lunch with me!” Jurina shouted but it was for naught, Kumi was long gone. Her stomach growled and she groaned.
Rena giggled, “Sounds like somebody’s hungry. Forget your lunch?” Jurina nodded. Rena went into her desk drawer and pulled out curry bread, “You can have this bread then.”
“Really?” Jurina was happy, happier than she should be. “Thanks, Rena-sensei!” Jurina opened the wrapper and took a bite.
“But be careful. It’s really...” Rena tried to warned, but then Jurina suddenly coughed up. “... spicy...” Rena sighed, “Oh dear...”
“HOT!! Water! Water!! Water!!!” Jurina cried out as she fanned her mouth with her hand.
“Ok, ok! Have my tea!” Rena offered up her bottle of tea which Jurina quickly grabbed and guzzled down.
“Thank you, Rena-sensei, you saved me” Jurina coughed.
“It seems like I’m always saving you somehow, like this morning for example.” Rena said. Jurina sort of agreed.
“How can you eat something like that? My tongue felt like it was on fire.”
“What can I say? I like spicy foods. There’s a certain shop near my home that sells these and I really like them.”
“Clearly... I can imagine your house filled with spices and hot sauces.” Jurina then smacked her mouth, “Still spicy.”
“Come here,” Rena gestured with her hand to come and so Jurina did so. “Open your mouth,” Ordered Rena as she took hold of Jurina’s jaw, “and stick out your tongue.” The young student began to blushed, but she did what she was told. Rena began to blow Jurina’s tongue; a cool sensation can be felt on her spicy taste buds. Rena was in close proximity again, Jurina’s heart began to race and Jurina wondered why. Rena released, “There. Better?”
“A-a little.” Jurina sighed, “Why does this always happen?” she asked, particularly to no one, “Why do I always end up embarrassing myself in front of someone I like?” she blurted out, without realizing what she had just said.
“Oh, Jurina-chan,” Rena looked at her and smiled, “you like me?” leaning close with her arms on her knees. When the she asked, Jurina began to blush a deep red.
“I-I mean not like that!” Jurina began to feel flustered, stuttering her words. “I don’t like you! W-well, I mean, I do like you but I don’t l-like you in-in that way.” Jurina tried to pick her words carefully, all the while thinking about her feelings, “I like you, but I don’t ‘like you’ like you...” Jurina paused for a moment, “... I think... maybe...” she mumbled her last words to herself. Completely embarrassed of her performance, Jurina just looked away from Rena, probably to try and hide the deep shade of red on her face.
“That’s too bad then.” Rena retracted, she sounded genuinely disappointed. She turned on her chair, “This could have been something that could get Mother off my back.” She said quietly to herself.
“Matsui-sensei. Please come to the faculty room. Repeat. Matsui-sensei, please come to the faculty room.”The PA system announced. Rena stood up, “That’s me,” she looked at Jurina who still wouldn’t make eye contact. “You can still stay here if you want. But I can’t guarantee that I’ll be back before the end of lunch.” She said as she motioned to the door, “I’ll see you later.” Rena left, leaving Jurina alone.
Once the door closed, Jurina began to talk to herself in a hushed voice, “I can’t believe I just said that. I’m so stupid.” Jurina looks at Rena’s desk, “Why do I feel glad that she doesn’t have a boyfriend?” she sighed. She looked at the bottle in her hands, and she realized something, “An indirect kiss...”
TO BE CONTINUED IN PART 3
(A/N: Still long and draggy IMO. But I wanted to get this done and now it's done! I was planning on finishing and posting SaeYuki 6 but I went out today and I couldn't get it done. I'm working on AMTR as well and I probably will get SaeYuki 6 and AMTR done this week if not next week. I've already planned out the ending of this segment too so you can look forward to that. Oh yeah! I wanted to ask your guys' opinion. How would feel about me doing a lemon/lime ficlet for any pairing? Which pairing? Knowing me and knowing how descriptive I can get, yeah... Tell me what you think)
