Chapter 2 “So let me get this straight,” Risa said, narrowing her eyes. “You meet this girl and you don’t know who she is, where she’s from, how old she is, why she gave you her money, but…”
“She’s attractive,” Eri sighed. “That might be too weak of a word, though.”
Risa rolled her eyes as she crossed her legs and leaned in a little closer to her friend, who was sitting next to her. The room was quite loud with all the chatting before class, along with idiotic guys trying to look cool by doing soccer ball tricks. Eri had been telling her friend about the mysterious girl she had met the evening before. Although she had described her with the most elaborate words possible, Risa wasn’t convinced.
“Kameha, you just met her,” she said, narrowing her eyes. “And from what you told me, it seems like she thinks you’re a boy.”
“Yeah…”
“And she flirted with you, while thinking you’re a boy.”
“It wasn’t exactly flirting…”
“She called you, ‘pretty boy’ and winked at you,” Risa rolled her eyes. “That counts as flirting.”
“Your point?” Eri grumbled.
“Kameha, she obviously likes guys, not girls,” Risa explained. “And you don’t know anything about her while she knows nothing about you, including your gender and your preferences for dating. And you just met her; why are you so dazed about her?”
“Because she was gorgeous!” Eri whispered, as a big smile appeared on her face. “The moment her eyes met mine, something sparked! I… I think I like her.”
“But you don’t know who she is!” Risa growled back, thinking how ridiculous her friend was being.
“I don’t… yet,” the turtle mumbled. “I’m telling you, there’s something about her. If I’m right, I’m sure we’re going to meet again. It’s like fate—”
“I’m not even going to bother with this anymore,” the bean sighed, turning back to face the front of the classroom. “You’re helpless. Do whatever you want.”
“Thanks for the support, Risa-chan,” Eri grinned.
As the turtle turned to the front of the room, the door slid open and the principal of Haro Kotogakko walked in. He positioned himself in the middle of the room behind the podium and cleared his throat. All the 2nd year students in the room skittered back to their own seats and stopped talking.
“Good morning, students,” the principal greeted. “I’m sure you are all aware that your homeroom and history teacher, Iida-sensei, retired last semester to focus on her family life. So starting this semester, you will be in the care of a new homeroom teacher. I trust that you will all show her the same respect that you showed Iida-sensei.”
“Hai!” the students answered in unison.
“Then without further ado,” the principal continued, “I would like to introduce your new history teacher. Come on in, sensei.”
The classroom door opened once more as a pair of black heels stepped in. All the students focused on the young woman who was now at the front of the room. She had curly brown hair that was clipped back to keep out of her face. She was wearing a black suit jacket with a matching skirt and a white collar shirt underneath. Her smile was gentle as she scanned the room full of teenagers that she was now in charge of. A quiet whistle came from one of the boys as a wave of whispers washed over the room. Eri turned to her friend and also spoke in a low voice.
“She’s really pretty, isn’t she?” she said.
“She seems too young to be a teacher,” Risa answered back, frowning.
Eri just rolled her eyes at the sign of dissatisfaction from the bean. Since Risa was an ideal honor student, she always looked for perfection. It was one of her best qualities, yet her worst.
“My name is Takahashi Ai,” the brown-haired teacher said in a friendly tone. “Starting today, I will be your new homeroom teacher as well as being in charge of your history class. I hope to get to know all of you individually as time passes. Yoroshiku onegaishimasu.”
“Onegaishiamsu!” the class chanted in unison.
“There’s still a couple minutes left of homeroom,” the principal said, checking the clock. “So I’ll leave these kids in your care, Takahashi-sensei.”
“Arigatou gozaimasu, Kouchou-sensei,” the young teacher thanked.
As the principal walked out of the room and closed the door behind him, silence filled the room again. The new teacher walked around to the front of the podium and leaned on it. She gave a friendly smile to the class; the students couldn’t help but smile a little back.
“Since we’re going to be together for the rest of the school year,” she started, “I think it’s important that we all get to know each other. It’ll take me a long time to get to know all of you, so let’s start with all of you getting to know me first. So if any of you have questions for me, please ask them.”
Silence continued on for a couple seconds. Then, all at the same time, a series of questions started to shoot out from different parts of the room. This teacher was pretty and she seemed nice. The girls were interested while the guys were
definitely more than interested. Takahashi-sensei laughed as she held up her hands in front of herself.
“Please, one at a time!” she yelled, grinning. “We have a lot of homeroom sessions ahead of us.”
“Sensei!” a girl from the back of the room called, standing up while raising her hand. “Where are you from?”
“I’m originally from Fukui,” the teacher answered. “But I’ve been living in Tokyo for quite some time.”
“Then do you speak with an accent?” a different girl asked.
“I lost it already,” sensei answered, “and I hope to keep it that way.”
“Sensei, how old are you?” a boy asked, followed by a series of hooting and hollering from his pack of guy friends who all wanted to know the same thing.
“I’m 23 years old this year,” Takahashi-sensei replied, smiling. A series of “aw”s and “kawaii”s resonated in the room, allowing the young woman to laugh.
“Sensei, aren’t you a little too young to teach?” Risa asked, narrowing her eyes.
“Maybe I am,” the lady grinned. “But that doesn’t matter as long as I have what it takes, right?”
“Sensei, do you have a college degree?” Risa questioned again, still unconvinced.
“Yes I do, as well as a teaching permit.”
“Stop being uptight, Gaki-san,” one of the boys complained. “You’re being rude to Sensei.”
“I’m not being uptight !” the bean yelled. “It was just a question like everybody else’s.”
“Iinchou is just being Iinchou,” a different girl giggled. “Sensei, what’s your favorite food?”
“Omelette rice is always good for me,” the teacher answered, deciding to pass off the small argument between her students with a smile. “Now, I’m very sorry everyone, but the questions will have to stop here. I still have some last minute papers to fill out for the principal.”
“Bye, Sensei!” one of the guys called out with a grin.
The new teacher scanned the room one more time with a friendly smile before walking out and closing the door. The room went back into the hushed whispers; everybody was talking about the new teacher. All the boys seemed to like her already, just by the fact that she was young, beautiful, and has a nice body. Most of the girls seemed okay with her, since she seemed pretty nice. But Risa was still doubtful, with her perfectionist instincts. Suddenly, the boy that had complained to the bean before stood up.
“Iinchou, you really have to loosen up,” the guys said. “Do you hate Takahashi-sensei already?”
“I never said I hated her,” Risa replied. “But she
is kind of young, isn’t she?”
“That doesn’t matter,” the boy rolled his eyes. “She must be here because she’s smart enough to teach, right? You’re just jealous, Gaki-san.”
“Yeah, you’re just jealous,” a different guy chimed in.
“Just because you’re the class representative, it doesn’t give you the right to try and make Sensei look bad,” a different boy said.
“Since when did I make her look bad?” Risa asked.
“You’re always so eager to find flaws in people,” the first guy said. “Just chill a little, will you? That’s why no guy ever asks you out.”
“Yeah, Iinchou can be cute too, if it wasn’t for your strict character,” the second boy cackled.
“Who wants to be asked out by guys like you anyway?” Eri defended her friend, standing up.
“Aw~ that’s so cute, Kamei!” one of the guys cooed. “You’re defending our class rep? What a good turtle!” The group of boys exploded into hollers and laughs while Eri gritted her teeth.
“You guys are being stupid,” one of the girls groaned. “Is there a Takahashi-sensei fan club already?”
“Great idea, Konno!” one of the guys yelled. “Hey guys, let’s make that club!”
“You’re all idiots,” the girl called Konno grumbled.
“Why does our class have to be filled with these boys while the other class gets the cute ones?” a different girl moaned.
“Don’t mind them, Risa-chan,” Eri sighed. “They’re all hopeless.”
“I know that,” the bean grinned. “That’s why nothing they ever say is enough to bring me down.”
“Yeah, go Gaki-san!” one of the girls cheered.
“Thanks, Makocchan,” Risa laughed.
Amidst all the cheering— boys about Takahashi sensei while the girls went on about sticking together— the door slid open and someone stuck their head in. Silence washed over the room again as all the attention went to the front of the classroom.
“I forgot something,” the brown-haired teacher smiled. “Who is the class representative here?”
“Hai,” Risa answered, standing up. “Niigaki Risa desu.”
“Niigaki-san,” the woman continued, smiling. “Would you mind staying after school today to do some extra work? As the class representative, I mean.”
“Of course,” the bean smiled back, completely hiding her irritation. “If it’s part of my job, I’d love to.”
“Great,” the teacher answered. “Teachers’ lounge, 3 o’clock sharp!”
The door closed again as all the boys continued to stare at the place where the beautiful lady’s head had been. Risa grumbled something to herself as she sank back into her seat.
“Does this mean I’m going home alone today?” Eri whined. “I thought we were going shopping together for a little while...”
“Sorry, Kameha,” Risa mumbled. “What can I say? It seems like our sensei still can’t doing things by herself around here. Why can’t she get one of her boy slaves to—”
“That’s going a little overboard, Risa,” Eri cut her off, frowning. “I don’t think she’s that bad. We should get to know her a little better first.”
“She’s obviously one of those teachers who try to sweet-talk all the male students!” Risa growled. “I hate teachers like that!”
“She doesn’t seem that way to me,” Eri shook her head. “Don’t judge before you really know someone, Risa-chan. That’s what you always say to me, remember?”
“Yeah, yeah,” the bean sighed. “I guess I’ll talk to her a little more before I decide whether I like her or not…”
