Chapter 1
'Ah. That was a nice sleep.' thought the woman as she rose out of bed. Minamo Kurosawa also known as Miss Kurosawa, Kurosawa-Sensei, and Nyamo, and sometimes even 'coach' was a high school teacher. She hopped up to make some coffee then take a shower. When she got out she dried herself and got dressed and sat down to enjoy the hot drink. 'First day of school' she thought to herself, 'I just hope that Yukari doesn't show up late, I don't think the principal would like a repeat of last year…
Yukari Tanizaki, happened to be Nyamo's closest friend. They had been friends since high school, and have stayed friends after both deciding to become teachers. Although Yukari often got on Nyamo's nerves, she somehow found it in her to stick close by, almost afraid of losing her, even though it was unclear to her why.
As Nyamo left the apartment to head to work, Yukari was still fast asleep in her bed, at her parents place. Her mom was in charge of waking her up every morning, and this morning, on the first day of class, her mom was not present.
Yukari was sitting under a big cherry blossom tree, enjoying the feeling of having absolutely nothing to do, then she saw something, or more like someone, running at her with the speed of light. Yukari tried to make out who it was, but they were too far away. All of a sudden the person appeared right in front of her. 'YUKARI, WAKE UP YOU IDIOT!' shouted Nyamo.
With that Yukari work with a start, cursing Nyamo out loud for waking her. She looked around to find an empty room with light shining through the blinds. When she noticed how bright it was outside she let out a string of cuss words and bolted for the restroom. She was out in 5 minutes ready to go to work.
"Goddammit, I can't believe I still have to ride my bike to school, Nyamo needs to hurry up and get herself a car so she can come pick me up!" Yukari said. And with that, she was off and down the road, mumbling curses the whole way there.
Yukari reached the school, late of course, and ran down the hallway and into her classroom. "Good morning class! I'm so sorry for being late, but I just know that this going to be a fantastic school year!" said Yukari giving the class a thumbs up. One of the male students in the class stood up raising his hand. "Uhm, Yukari-Sensei, this isn't your class. Yours is next door, this is Class 4." With that Yukari bolted out of the door and into the classroom over. "Hello class 3, I'm Yukari Tanizaki and I'll be your homeroom teacher for this school year." Yukari mumbled in monotone voice. ' Great, what a way to start off the school year' thought Yukari.
"Ahem".
"Who was tha… " started Yukari, "oh right, we have a new student today class. Her name is Chiyo Mihama and she's only ten years old. However, she is so smart that they let her skip from grade school to high school. Now I don't want anyone picking on poor little Chiyo-chan just because she is so smart." Yukari said with just the slightest hint of jealousy. "Okay Chiyo-chan, go ahead and take a seat." And with that the 10-year-old prodigy went and sat among her new high school classmates.
