The school bell rang as the wind flows outside the school. Oh, the breaktime is over. The students went back to their classes.
"What the hell, I didn't even get the chance to buy something." said Natsu with whining.
Jousuke replied "Mhmm."
Natsu asked Jousuke "Your mind seems to be pre-occupied. Something's going on?"
Jousuke replied "Yes but no. I ate a lot of gravy and my stomach's upset right now."
Natsu bursted into laughter. Everyone in the hallway was staring at Natsu, while Jousuke is drowning in embarrassment.
Jousuke grabbed Natsu's wrist to go to their next class. Jousuke walked faster for he is embarrassed. In all of a sudden, his stomach growled; he ran to the restroom. Natsu followed Jousuke.
Once they're both in the restroom, Jousuke threw up a lot. Natsu was disgusted.
"The heck's wrong with you?" Natsu murmured.
"I literally frickin' heard you!" Jousuke replied.
"You done? Next class will start anytime soon." said Natsu.
"Yeah, sorry for the wait." Jousuke replied.
"Sure. Don't be so polite though." Natsu replied as he left.
Jousuke followed Natsu. As they're walking, Natsu had a thought.
Natsu asked Jousuke "Hey Jousuke, what do you think is the definition of time management?"
"Time management? For me, it is to follow your schedule strictly and avoiding to waste even the littlest amount of time."
Natsu murmured to Jousuke "If that's so, we're so done."
Jousukw looked at Natsu's eyes, seeing a completely blanked face. Jousuke looked at the direction Natsu was looking. He was shocked, it's the art's teacher. She was 3 steps away from entering their class. Jousuke ran so fast, he almost slipped. When he's about to enter the door, he bumped into a girl. The girl dropped her things as she was shocked.
"My sincerest apologies! Did i hurt you? Are you okay?" Jousuke asked with fear.
"Y-Yeah, I guess. Please be careful next time." the girl replied.
Their teacher is walking towards them.
Jousuke thought to himself "What have I done? What will I do? Will she yell at me? Who even is she? This teacher's aura is so strong."
As the teacher gets closer, the girl and Jousuke looked at her. They both realized that they know that teacher.
The girl and Jousuke shouted "Daimon Sensei!?"
Daimon smiled at both of them and replied "Is anyone hurt?"
The girl and Jousuke replied "No, Sensei."
Daimon replied "Good to know, then stand up; we're about to start."
As Jousuke stood up, he offered a hand for the girl. The girl looked away with shyness and didn't accept it. The girl went back to her seat while blushing. Jousuke stared at her as he also went back to his seat.
Daimon introduced herself to the class "Good morning, a lot of students here must've already know me. All your faces faces are familiar, there are only a few students here that I've never known. All right. Starting from now on, I'll be your new teacher in Arts. Say goodbye to Abe-san, I'll be better than her in teaching!"
Everyone clapped and cheered for her.
Jousuke thought to himself "So she's the new teacher Abe Sensei was saying. Well I mean, what would go wrong? She used to be a great music teacher back in 9th grade."
Daimon continued speaking "I see a lot of potential in this class. Because of that, I will be giving you guys your first school work this semester."
She laughed while a lot of students looked disappointed.
The class is filled with bunch of noises. Comments and sounds of disappointment.
"What? School works again?"
"Another lame teacher."
"Abe Sensei, please come back!"
"What the heck is wrong with her?"
"Man, it's her first day in this class."
Daimon smiled and said "Don't worry y'all. This will be a group project!"
Once again, the class is filled with bunch of noises; this time, the students we're happy and cheering for her.
"Yay, a group work!"
"Man, it's been long since we've worked together."
"She's the best teacher I've ever had!"
"I love you Daimon Sensei!"
Daimon laughed as a sign of happiness. She then distributed the class into 3 groups, 10 students each.
Jousuke thought to himself "A group work? I hope Natsu and Asa will work with me."
Jousuke heard Natsu and Asa's name in the same group. He was disappointed for the reason he was seperated with his 2 best friends. Moments later, he heard his name.
"Daikuhara as the group facilitator..." said Daimon and she continued to announce Jousuke's groupmates.
"So I'm the facilitator? No, I'm screwed!" Jousuke thought to himself.
Daimon mentioned the last name "Boutsuki..." as Jousuke's groupmate and she continued to announce the members.
Jousuke was shocked and he thought to himself "Boutsuki? That last name sounds familiar! Do I know her? What the hell's wrong with me? She's been my classmate for 2 months yet I just realized that. I'm pretty sure I've heard that last name before."
"All right, that's all. You'll be working with your groupmates to create a masterpiece. You'll be making a short film about violence!" said Daimon.
Everyone cheered for Daimon as all of them were longing for that kind of activity.
The school bell rang. Jousuke sighed and stretched. Natsu went to him and smiled.
Natsu asked "You wanna go home together?"
Jousuke replied "Sure."
Jousuke and Natsu were walking on the way home.
Jousuke asked Natsu "Hey Natsu, don't you think Boutsuki-san is familiar?"
Natsu replied "No, never met her in my life."
Natsu looked at Jousuke and stopped. Jousuke continued walking. Seconds later, he realized that Natsu stopped. He saw the smirk in Natsu's face.
"Jousuke Daikuhara, don't tell me you were paying attention on Boutsuki-san." said Natsu.
Jousuke cringed and replied "I am, I think I met her before. And stop making that face, creep."
Natsu replied "How dare you call me a creep?"
Natsu punched Jousuke's stomach out of annoyance; he smirked again.
Jousuke yelled at Natsu "What was that you son of a-"
Natsu covered Jousuke's mouth and started to ask him a lot of questions.
"Tell me Jousuke, what did you like about her? Is it because she's the top student in our class? Her smile? Her looks? Is she rich? What do you think about her behavior? Her attitude? Man, you picked a great shawty." said Natsu
Jousuke was shocked; he replied "What!? No I don't have any interest in her. I don't even care about her. I just noticed some familiarity you dirty rascal!"
Natsu laughed and Jousuke continued explaining himself.
"What seems to be going on in here?" some boy asked.
"Oh, it's you. Look at this lover boy. He likes someone in our class." said Natsu.
"No! Don't believe him Asa, I just thought that girl was familiar as hell." said Natsu. Asa replied "Is that so? Then why are you so mad about it?"
Asa and Natsu bursted into laughter. Jousuke was so mad and embarrassed.
"Whatever, let's go!" said Jousuke.
The three of them saw an arcade while walking.
"Are you boys thinking what I'm thinking?" said Asa.
"I'll pass for now." said Jousuke.
Asa replied "It's on me."
Jousuke came back without hesitation and said "Works. Let's go."
The three of them had fun playing a lot of games as times goes by. While playing, Jousuke saw a claw machine with his favorite anime figurine as the prize. His eyes fell in love with the machine. Natsu and Asa continued to play. Jousuke went to try 2 times, but he failed, resulting for him to lock in. On his third try, he finally got that figurine and he was amazed. He hugged the figurine with his cheek while his eyes were closed. He didn't realize that everyone were staring at him.
Moments later, Asa whispered into Jousuke's ears "Let's go home daddy."
Jousuke was shocked and he punched Asa's face. The three of them were walking with bags of prizes in their hand.
"I didn't realize you would cry over a plushie, Natsu." said Jousuke with laughter.
Natsu was crying and replied "It sucks."
Asa and Jousuke laughed.
"It's getting late, I'll walk this way." said Asa.
"Yeah, me too." said Natsu.
Jousuke waved goodbye at them and said "See you both tomorrow."
Jousuke continued walking as he was going home. He checked his phone while walking. He noticed the time and realized that he's going home so late.
He ran and thought to himself "I'm so screwed!"
