Leave me alone… I'm sleepy…

Ghost Ch.3
"Morning, Tenma!" Tenma looked up. Taiyou was waving from the school steps.
"Taiyou! You got accepted into this school too?" Tenma ran forwards and hugged his friend hard. "I haven't seen you since the holidays!"
"I. Can't. Breathe!" Taiyou gasped out.
"Sorry, Taiyou! I'm just so excited!" Tenma let go of Taiyou.
The orange-haired teen took a deep breath and grinned. "I heard that Gouenji-san also came to this school when he was young! Is this the school Shindou-san and Kirino-san are in?"
Taiyou's question was answered immediately. "Tenma, Taiyou! Welcome to Inazuma High!" Two familiar faces appeared at the edge of the crowd.
"Senpai!" Tenma nearly tackled Kirino and Shindou to the floor. "It's so nice to see you here. We all missed you!"
"All? Big words, Matsukaze." Tsurugi Kyousuke said. He held his arms in front to prevent Tenma from going on a hugging spree again.
"Wow, Tenma! It seems like you really, really missed Tsurugi!" said a mischievous voice.
"Kariya." Tsurugi said calmly, not ruffled by the other's snide comment.
"Hey, you kids! Stop lingering around and get inside the school! Move along and stop blocking the way!" A buff guy with a wispy goatee and a bullhorn shouted at them.
Taiyou facepalmed himself. "Don't tell me that dude's one of our new teachers."
"Sadly, he is the physical education teacher. He's a bit loony. People say that he's been around this school for ten years!" Shindou whispered.
"It's true. Hiroto-san told me about Coach," said Kariya.
"Let's just get in, before we get detention on the first day of term." Kirino shooed everyone inside.
…
…
"Yay! I share the same homeroom with Tsurugi!" squealed Tenma.
Tsurugi sighed. Why did he choose to come to this school? He didn't really know. Oh, right. Nii-san influenced him to.
*Flashback*
"Which high school are you going to, Kyousuke?" asked Yuuchi as Kyousuke sat down on the chair next to the hospital bedside table.
"So far, I've been accepted by Inazuma High."
When Yuuchi heard the name, he let out a collective gasp.
"Are you okay, nii-san?" asked Kyousuke, rushing to support his brother.
"Do you remember this school, from your childhood?" asked Yuuchi cautiously.
"No. Did something happen to me there?" Kyousuke asked innocently.
"You don't remember a thing. Of course, when it happened, you were only three years old…" muttered Yuuchi to himself.
"What are you talking about, nii-san?"
"I highly recommend you to apply to that school. It might help bring back some memories for you. Maybe you can even solve the mystery of Yuki's death." Yuuchi said the last bit softly.
"Whose death? Yuki? Who is that?" Kyousuke looked bewildered.
"Never mind. You will know, soon." Yuuchi turned away from his brother. It was clear that he did not want to continue discussing anything about the topic.
When Kyousuke got home, he told his parents that he wanted to go to Inazuma High. His parents' reactions were unsavory. His mother let out a high-pitched scream and dropped a glass onto the floor of the kitchen. His father gasped loudly and knocked off an ornament on his desk accidently.
"Are you really sure, Kyousuke?" They both asked him.
"Yes." Kyousuke replied quietly.
"What made you decide so quickly?" his mother pressed.
"Nii-san said that it was a good idea. He also mentioned a 'Yuki'. Who is that girl?"
His mother and father exchanged nervous glances. They clearly knew what he was talking about.
"Should we tell him?" his mother's glance said.
"No, no. He's got enough pressure on his mind now." his father's eyes said.
"Never mind." With that, his parents continued their lives, as if their conversation hadn't happened.
"What? I'm not a child anymore; otou-san, okaa-san!" Kyousuke felt frustrated, but there was nothing he could do, so he dropped the topic.
*Flashback end*
"Tsurugi-kun! Please pay attention!" The teacher was glaring at him. Giggles arose from the class.
Tsurugi moaned. Just his luck to make a bad impression on the first day of his high-school life.
"What's our last class?" asked Kariya, who was sitting next to him.
Tsurugi checked his schedule. "PE."
"You mean we'll get that crazy Coach dude?" Kariya asked, putting his arms behind his head.
"Yep."
…
…
On the way to the gym, everyone was chatting noisily, busy getting acquainted with each other. The day had been pretty relaxing so far, fun and games, until…
"People! Stop chatting and get to work! I don't want any stragglers to stay inside the changing room to chat, play or do whatnot!" Coach yelled.
Everyone sighed and trudged on in silence. When they arrived at the gym, Coach immediately pulled out his bullhorn and screamed instructions at the class.
"Do forty sit-ups now!"
"What?" said Taiyou, groaning. "I hate sit-ups!"
"Just do it, or Coach will get you!" said Kariya, who had already lain down on the floor.
Tsurugi closed his eyes and started doing the sit-ups. "Ow, my backbone!" He complained.
After a while, Coach asked them to stop and gave the class some torturous drills.
By the time PE lesson ended, most students were tired and half-dead already. Coach assigned a few classmates to stay behind to tidy up the gym.
"I'm dead!" said Tenma, rubbing his sore back.
"Who isn't?!" retorted Kariya.
Suddenly, a loud scream was heard from the gym.
Coach dashed out. "What happened?!"
"Ghoooooost!"
Suspense! Is it Yuki again?
J: Great! You're awake!

J: Hey!
