Prologue
His cobalt colored eyes wondered around his surroundings. Inside the big conference hall, three stern looking men were staring intently at him. He gulped, feeling anxious as one of them opened his mouth to speak.
"Say," one of the stern looking men started, "what's your reason to apply in Teitan University, Kudo Shinichi-san?"
Shinichi kept his expression calm and composed. "Teaching is my passion. I like to share my knowledge to others and help them to have a better future. If I get this job, I'll assure that my students will be more competent in the future." He answered confidently. The three men started to look at each other and nodded. Their strict expression changed to smiling one.
"I guess we don't have any reason to not accept you, Kudo-san. You can start teaching this coming school year. Congratulations."
Shinichi beamed and thanked them for accepting him. Teaching was really his interest and he would never let this chance to slip away.
He's Kudo Shinichi, twenty-three years old, a graduate with flying colors. While taking up the course Business Administration, he also took up the course Education because he really loved and cherished teaching. Now, the moment he's waiting for was already in his grasp, he must make sure that everything would be alright.
Or so he thought.
…
Chapter 1: No Proper Start
First day of her second year college life. The moment she hated the most. It was never her choice to take up the course Business Administration or any other course. In her nineteen years of living, she loathed schools and of course those stupid teachers. Shooing all her thoughts, she walked lazily at the Teitan University hallway, her caramel blonde hair sway gracefully at her every step. Boys that saw her were drooling at her, admiring the beauty she had. Her alluring sapphire kept emotionless as she focused her gaze in straight direction.
"Ai-chan!" A cheerful voice echoed in the hallway. She stopped walking and her eyes diverted to the source of the voice. She saw this sweet looking girl running to her direction, her shoulder length chocolate hair was neatly kept by a ribbon.
"I see we're classmates again this year!" The girl said merrily having a very cheerful smile in her face.
"I know Ayumi." She briefly replied.
"Would you mind if I walk with you to our classroom?"
"No, I won't mind." Ai replied and started walking. Ayumi followed her and started blabbing random things.
…
"OHAYOU! Haibara-san! Ayumi!" A loud and lively voice greeted them as they entered their classroom.
"Ohayou Genta-kun!" Ayumi replied with a sweet smile.
"Ohayou." Ai replied and immediately went to her seat. Ayumi followed her and also sat to her seat.
"Morning, Ayumi-chan, Haibara-san." A shy voice also greeted. Ai looked at the source of the voice.
"Morning too, Tsuburaya-kun."
"Good morning! Mitsuhiko-kun!" Ayumi also greeted which made the boy with freckles to blush. He immediately hid it by lowering his head.
"Ne, ne, guys did you hear that we will have a new English teacher which is also our homeroom adviser?" Genta stated but his friends seemed no interest.
"That will only mean that we will finally escape the worst teaching of Suzuki-sensei." Mitsuhiko replied quietly.
"…and enter another pathetic teacher." Ai added boringly. She sighed and rested her chin in her right hand.
"Ai-chan, teachers are not pathetic, we should love them because they're doing their best to teach us!" Ayumi defended.
Ai didn't reply and diverted her gaze away from her friends. Since she was sitting in the back row near the window, watching the scenery outside the casement became her past time during the boring time of class.
Suddenly, the classroom door opened which made the girls' mouth gaped open and the guys to be shock. His shiny russet hair was a little messy and his cool cobalt blue eyes showed excitement.
'God, Is this the new sensei? He's so hot.' Some girls in the class thought.
'He looked like him! Is this for real?" Some guys thought.
"Uhm, Good morning class, I'm Kudo Shinichi, your new English teacher and homeroom adviser…" He started and then paused when he noticed that the class was so silent while staring intently at him. Confused, he raised a brow and narrowed his eyes.
"I never thought that this class is very silent. Anyway, let me check your attendance. Please say present when you are here."
Shinichi started the roll call.
"Kojima Genta?" "Present!"
"Tsuburaya Mitsuhiko?" "Present."
"Yoshida Ayumi?" "Present, Sensei."
"Haibara Ai?" No answer.
"Where is Haibara Ai? Is she absent?" He raised his head and looked around the room. He saw a girl at the back row, staring calmly at the window. He stared at her for a couple of seconds, adoring the calmness of her face. Shinichi walked silently to the location of the girl. Ayumi noticed this tried to get Ai's attention.
But she failed.
"I guess you are Haibara Ai?" Shinichi asked but still got no answer. Ai was still staring at the window like mesmerizing every detail of the surrounding outside.
"Ai-chan!" Ayumi called a little louder which made Ai to go out of her trance.
"What is it?" Ai asked and turned her head just to meet a pair of alluring blue eyes.
"Ai-chan, he's our new adviser and teacher." Ayumi said. Shinichi expect Ai to be surprised and then apologized but…
"Is that so? Why is he here in front of our seat? Sensei's should be in front of the class right?" Ai pointed out, keeping her face calm. "Do you need something from me, Sensei?" She asked, staring coldly at him.
"Ms. Haibara, please watch your manners. I'm doing a roll call and you're in your reverie. I hope next time, at least, pay attention."
"So… you're the kind of teacher that wanted too much attention? Sorry, my dear Sensei, next time I'll give you my attention wholeheartedly." Ai replied sarcastically and rolled her eyes.
"I'll be glad to see you doing that Ms. Haibara." Shinichi replied with a meaningful smirk. He twirled around and started to walk. Ai furrowed her eyebrows in confusion.
Shinichi stopped in the mid of his walk and looked over his shoulder. "And Ms. Haibara?" He started. "…detention after class."
"What? !"
Instead of replying, Shinichi just shrugged his shoulders and went to the front. He picked up his planner and continued the roll call again.
On the other hand, Ai glared at the new teacher. Never in her school life had she got a detention. Never.
'Despicable teacher. Curse you.' Ai thought while staring at him with a fierce look.
"Kuroba Kaito?" No answer. Shinichi could hear some students whispered to each other.
"So Kuroba is absent?"
Before anyone could answer him, the door of the classroom burst open and revealed a panting male student. All eyes were fixed to him. He raised his head and smiled goofily.
"Sorry I'm late!" His voice echoed inside the classroom. He looked at the front and saw a very familiar figure. He turned his gaze to the class with a perplexed look in his face. "Guys, why is there a mirror in front? Not to mention, a very deceiving one. I never dream of being a teacher." He added innocently which made the silence inside the room to break.
Laughter filled the whole classroom.
"Kaito! That's really our teacher!"
"And he really looks like you!"
Shinichi and Kaito stared at each other; shock was written all over their face.
"Y-yo! Sensei? Hi?" Kaito greeted with uncertainty.
Shinichi cleared his throat and said, "Kuroba Kaito, please go to your seat now."
"O-okay."
Kaito walked to his seat while scratching the back of his head. It was really weird and shocking to see someone who almost identical as you… and worst… your own teacher. Still in deep thought, Kaito sat in his respective seat which was in front of Ai.
"I must really be careful to people who looks like you," Ai suddenly spoke. Kaito looked over his shoulder to meet the bored gaze of his childhood friend. "…if not annoying, it's an irritating one. Are faces like yours cursed? Kaito-kun?"
Kaito faked a laugh and smiled widely. "But faces like mine can make a million girls go crazy, Ai." He replied cockily.
Ai rolled her eyes in his nonsense remarks. "No wonder I'm still sane."
"Hey - "
"Ms. Haibara, do you want me to make that 'two detention' at once?" Ai closed her eyes and with a deep sigh of equanimity, she glared at the source of the irritating voice.
'Why does this stupid sensei only see me?'
"You got a detention? Pfft. So this sensei who looks like me gives you a disaster. Told you, faces like this…" Kaito pointed his face, "…are dangerous." He whispered with a silent chuckle.
"Shut up Kaito-kun."
Ai sighed in frustration and looked at the new teacher again. It made her more annoyed because she caught him, looking at her, with a teasing smirk plastered in his face.
Oh yeah. Disaster indeed.
End of Chapter 1
Credits: This fic was born because of a Shinichi/Shiho fic titled "Detention" by YELLOW JACKET PRIDE. It's about teacher-student secret relationship (we all know that it's forbidden) and that thought is enough for me to create this. Yet, the storyline of this fic is way different from her composition. ^^
