Okay finally after the long wait, here you have the senseis perspective~
I wanted to upload this before I go on a travel for three weeks and wont be able to update during that time. But don't worry, I'll make sure to write a lot by hand during my travel so I can upload faster when I get home.
Anyway I disclaimer since Gakuen Alice doesn't belong to me, and onwards with the story!
Serinas perspective
I walked into the classroom of Class B who was now in their senior year.
That rowdy elementary class had turned into young adults ready to explore the world at a college outside the academy.
A few years after the war, students were allowed to go to college outside the academy and prove that they were just like everyone else. Only with weird powers.
"Okay class, take your seats and take out your books. I will give you 30 minutes to read the pages 20 to 27 and then we will go through the text together.
They were reading Shakespeare in English and right now we were working on Romeo and Juliet. The time when the students read I always sat and gazed through my crystal ball at them.
Soon they would all leave.
My crystal ball showed me Natsume and Mikan who sat together in the back row, Mikan had her nose in her book and I saw her eyes shine with excitement. Mikan had proved herself quite capable when it came to English and she didn't have any difficulties with Shakespeare's works.
Natsume on the other hand looked genuinely bored, he didn't have any difficulties with English, he was just a genius when it came to academics so nothing really interested him.
I frowned a bit wondering how on earth Mikan could catch up with him.
He was smart and athletic, he was strong and stoic. He was almost like a robot.
Well maybe I thought too much about his older self, he had changed during these years he spent with her.
But still what did Mikan get from spending all her time with him?
"Psst Natsume." I saw Mikan nudge him in his side.
"What Polka?" He whispered back.
"Are you done already? You're not reading the text."
"Yeah I'm done." Natsume looked clearly bored and I frowned, nothing seemed to interest him in this play.
"Aw come on Natsume put your heart into it and feel the play, if you just read it then it's no fun. Try to imagine the characters feelings a bit will you?"
Through my crystal ball I could see one of Natsume's rare smiles.
"Thanks for the offer but that's more of your thing."
He ruffled her hair softly, Mikan pouted and went back to read the text.
Their relationship seemed quite simple right now and they deserved it.
They had been through so much together ever since Mikan came to the academy, both good and bad things and surely a lot of things that I didn't knew about but right now they just had a peaceful relationship.
"Um sensei? It has been 30 minutes." I snapped out of my trance when one of the students called me.
"Oh already? Then, would someone like to read Juliet's monologue on page 20 please?"
I quickly went back into my teacher mode, and a teacher couldn't sit around and watch the students like that.
"Sakura, how about you read it?"
"Yes sensei." Mikan stood up and cleared her throat.
" Gallop apace, you fiery-footed steeds, Towards Phoebus lodging.
Such a Waggoner as Phaeton would whip you to the west and bring in cloudy night immediately.
Spread thy close curtain, love-performing night, that runaways eyes may wink, and Romeo leap to these arms untalked and unseen..."
She read the text with such intensity that she managed to capture the whole class. Her expression was of a girl madly in love and her voice was sweet and yearning.
I threw a eye on Natsume and saw to my surprise that he was as captivated as everyone else. In my mind I saw those two, Mikan was Juliet and Natsume was Romeo. They fitted in Shakespeare's couple so well.
"... O, here comes my nurse, and she brings news, and every tongue that speaks but Romeo's name speaks heavenly eloquence."
She stopped reading and the classroom was for once quiet.
"Ah thank you so much Sakura." I complimented her and everyone else began to applaud. Mikan blushed a bit and sat down.
"Now class if we are to go through this monologue shall we?"
My eye caught Natsume smile at Mikan and give her a light peck on her forehead. Once again I saw Romeo and Juliet in my mind but I shook it off.
It wasn't like me to get sentimental.
Yeah there you have it. I used Juliet's monologue since I really like that play. It's quite hard English though...
Well anyway thanks for reading and don't forget to review.
