Chapter 2
"Well here we are." Huffed Mikuo, running a hand through his teal coloured hair. Letting out a sigh as he did it.
Sheepishly, Gumi looked up at him from where she was standing. Struggling under the weight of holding all three pails of water.
"The two trouble makers huh." She said laughing, nudging him with her elbow as she said it.
"I am not a troublemaker like you!" He shouted startling her as he did. "Why were you even late this morning I called you did I not?" He complained further obviously trying to change the subject.
Honestly, when a teacher asks why he hears people talking, because you have ears is not the proper, polite response. She had to give Mikuo props for that, even she wouldn't have thought of that.
So there they were, both standing outside the classroom; pails of water in hand. Each having pissed Mr. Walker off enough to get kicked out of class and be reduced to standing outside it.
"He's such a grouchy old man don't you think?" She asked hoping he would respond. However it continued to stay quiet for another 5 minutes or so.
"He is, probably not getting any from his wife at home." Mikuo teased finally smiling down at her.
"Eww someone actually married him?" She jokingly mocked along with her friend.
"Yes and I'm very happily married at that." Added the very sour voice of Mr. Walker.
Gumi and Mikuo went dead silent, lifting their pails higher into the air, though Gumi struggled with hers. Yet still managed to lift it high, arms stiff with pain.
"Mr. Walker." Mikuo said innocently, hoping he could soothe him over to forget their earlier conversation. "What brings you out into the hallway? Students could be horsing around in there you know."
"The only students who are constantly horsing around are you two." He barked, speaking as bitterly as possible. "It's bad enough that my worst student is out here, showing absolutely no interest in changing to better herself...but now my best student!? What is going on here?"
"Well to tell the truth sir...you just threw me out of the classroom for one comment. Don't you think you overreacted a bit?" Mikuo said raising an eyebrow.
"A bit?" Gumi scoffed, raising her three pails full of water in plain view of Mikuo's face.
"This guy went ape-" Unfortunately she didn't get to finish her sentence, because he already slapped a hand over her mouth.
"We're very sorry Mr. Walker and I assure you I will try to influence Gumi to start being a better student. I am on honours after all." Ending his semi-speech with a smile. Mr. Walker smiled at him and then shot the foulest look at Gumi looking her up and down, causing her to shiver.
"Ok." He agreed trusting Mikuo's word. "Next time your getting detention though and I won't care how many awards you've racked up."
"Yes sir." Watching his back turn and walk into the classroom Mikuo sighed breathing a total sigh of relief when the door closed.
"That was close."
