Okay, guys. I'll continue "At The Library" when I get all my projects out of the way, but until then I have another story to keep you busy! Oh yeah, and it's not a oneshot!

Tenkousei Troubles
Chapter 1
"And that class is why it was right for us to bomb Pearl Harbor. The Americans were getting too cocky." Yukari stated as she closed an old World History textbook. As an English teacher she should've been teaching her pupils the fundamentals of the Subject-Verb-Object sentence order instead of a lesson on why "Japan Rules and America Drools" but like many other times before, she was tired of teaching English and wanted to try her hands at a new subject. Too bad she was no good at it.
"Um, Ms. Yukari?" Chiyo asked raising her hand. "Don't you think that's a little harsh? Thousands of people died that day."
"Yeah, well my soul died the day when I found out that Americans were already enjoying Halo 3 while I had to sit and wait for it to come out over here." the pretentious teacher answered. The entire class sweat dropped. Sometimes they wondered if Ms. Yukari was really suited to live in today's highly productive society, much less be a teacher. Some even wondered if she'd ever been a candidate for admittance to a mental institution. However, the sudden series of short knocks that were now penetrating through the door caused everyone to forget what they were thinking.
"Oh yeah, I almost forgot. We have a new transfer student coming in today. He's from Transylvania," Yukari explained as she opened the door.
"Ah! Ain't that where all them vampires and werewolves are?" Osaka asked getting scared. Yomi sighed.
"Here we go again," she thought.
"Ms. Osaka, everyone knows there's no such thing as vampires, or werewolves for that matter." Chiyo said trying to reassure her friend.
"That's what they want'cha to think." the Osakan said as she narrowed her eyes at the tall brown-haired boy who had just walked in. He seemed to be around 6 foot 4 and his face was covered with freckles. He had broad shoulders and a slightly pale complexion despite the
"Um, hello everyone. My name is Nicholas Bochinsky, but you can call me Nick for short. It's a pleasure to meet you all," the Romanian boy said bowing to the class. "I hope we can have a good year together." Yomi raised her hand.
"Wait Nick-san, you can speak Japanese?" she asked the boy. "Not to mention, you hardly have an accent."
"Yes, I've always wanted to come to Japan ever since I was a little boy. I started learning the language when I was six years old. I also watch a lot of anime so I guess that helped out too," he explained as he placed his hand behind his head. "However, I honestly don't think I'm that skilled."
"Hey, Nicky. That means you can help me teach these brats English, right?" Yukari asked feeling hopeful. Nicholas simply scratched his head.
"Um, I'm afraid I don't know any English. Sorry Ms- um"
"Yukari," the teacher finished sharply. "So I guess you're in the same boat as them, huh?"
"I'm sorry, I couldn't be of any help," the boy apologized.
"Yeah yeah, save it. Just take that seat beside Osaka."
"Osaka? Isn't that a city?" Nicholas asked. Yukari sighed.
"See that girl over there staring at her fingers? That's Osaka." she responded as she point to the girl who was indeed staring intently at her fingers. She appeared to be fixated on the lines between the joints.
"If I can just decode the message written within these lines, I'll be one step closer to meeting them," she mumbled softly to herself.
"Her real name's Ayumu but since she's from Osaka we call her that. Although, it seems she's from a different planet altogether." Yukari explained as she pulled a pillow out from underneath her desk and placed it on the top. "Well, I'm going to take a nap now," she replied yawning. You guys, copy that stuff on the board. There's going to be a quiz tomorrow." and with those few last words, the teacher quickly dropped into a deep sleep. The entire class groaned. Nicholas shuffled over to the seat on Osaka's left. He had a feeling this was going to be a long day.
"I'm on to you," Osaka whispered as she softly jabbed the new transfer student in the arm.
"E-Excuse me?" he answered slightly taken aback.
"Ah said I'm on to you. I know all about your tricks, Mr. Vampire," the space cadet said as she narrowed her eyes at Nicholas."
"B-But I'm not a vampire!" the boy cried in defense.
"Yeah yeah, that's what they all say. Just remember, ah got my eye on you," Osaka said sounding determined. She then turned back to her seat to stare at Chiyo's pigtails.
"And once I'm done with da vampire, you guys are next," she mumbled to herself. Nicholas face faulted.
"What a strange girl," he whispered to himself as he sweat dropped. He then proceeded to copying the notes on the board. Neither Osaka nor Nicholas realized at the time how troublesome the next few weeks would be.
Yeah, so that's the first chapter. Poor Nicholas. As if adjusting to a new school wasn't hard enough. Will he be able to face the wrath of Osaka? I guess you'll have to read on to find out. So until then, review!
See ya around!
