Chapter 3

Classroom Chaos

Rui was calling him from the classroom.

Rui: "Hey Atsuki, are you deaf? I'm callin' you!"

Atsuki: "I heard you…"

Chie: "Who are they? Do you know them?"

Atsuki: "Yes, they're my last year classmates from Kisaragi city."

Yosuke: "Oh, so you're from there?"

Atsuki: "Actually, no. I only stayed for a month."

Yukiko: "At least present them to us."

Atsuki: "The blonde one is Rui Yamase, and Rui: Why you are here?

Rui: "Ah yes, nice to meetcha. My sister got transferred from the Kisaragi Police to here."

Atsuki: "Wow, I didn't know that. The one with the glasses is Ryo Unami. The same question for you, Ryo."

Ryo: "I thought that would be good expanding Tohodo a bit, so I left Ai with the one in Kisaragi and I'm looking for a place here in Inaba. It's a good town."

Yosuke: "Oh you're looking for a place, huh? I'm Yosuke Hanamura, son of the owner of Junes.

Ryo: "Oh good!"

Yosuke and Ryo start talking about looking for a place in Inaba.

Atsuki: "Over there is Mika Nozaki. She was a reporter on Seagull, local news on Kisaragi."

Mika: "Hi there! Atsuki, I got promoted for a job here in Inaba news! Razzly recommended me very well!"

Chie: "Oh hello Mika! Do you like movies?"

Mika: "I love them, mostly kung fu ones! No one knows that!"

Chie: "You do? Me too! I love them!"

Mika and Chie start discussing about their favorite movie.

Atsuki: "You people make friends very fast!"

Seta: "I know. They're the best, like yours!"

Atsuki: "Yeah, they are. Over there in the back is Shinji Naruse. He's good with computers."

Naoto: "Oh, I'll talk to him. After all, I am an expert on that area."

Naoto walks to Shinji.

Naoto: "Hi there. You must be Shinji Naruse."

Shinji glances up to her and starts stuttering.

Shinji: "Uh…erm…yep. W-who are you, young lady?"

Naoto: "I'm Naoto Shirogane, undercover detective."

Shinji: "So you're the famous Naoto Shirogane, eh?"

Naoto and Shinji made eye contact. Shinji felt a tingly sensation in his stomach. Maybe it's love?

Seta: "Weird! Naoto's never that friendly with the boys, maybe except Kanji."

Atsuki: "Neither Shinji. He always talks calmly and he's stuttering. Ok, the one in the second row is Yayoi Kamishiro. She's a great girl, but she's too shy at first."

Yukiko: "She's like me. I'll go chat with her."

Yukiko walks to Yayoi.

Yukiko: "Hello, my name is Yukiko Amagi."

Yayoi: "Nice to meet you, Yukiko-san. My name is Yayoi Kamishiro."

Yukiko: "Do you like baking? I'm pretty decent on the oven."

Yayoi: "I like baking often, except Mika eats the whole lot nearly always."

Yukiko: "She's like Chie! Eats but never stops!"

Both girls start laughing.

Seta: "Oh god, one of Yukiko laughing fits…"

Atsuki: "Yikes… and the last one is Akira Mido."

Rise: "Isn't he a cutie pie?"

Akira glances over to Rise. Rise walks to him.

Akira: "Hello, precious."

Rise: "Hi, my name is Rise."

Akira: "Nice to meet you. My name is Akira Mido, owner of the new Sweet Ring here in Inaba."

Rise: "You are the owner of that place? How cool. I like how it looks. In fact, I love it!"

Akira: "Excellent! How about after school, we go there?"

Rise: "It's a great idea, hunky man."

Akira: "OK, I'll pick you up at 5:30 pm."

Rise: "Okay, I'll see you later."

Rise writes her direction in his notebook, kisses him and winks. She sits over with Rui as Akira blushes.

Atsuki: "Well that's it."

The 1st class bell rings. The teacher opens the door. Atsuki and the others from Kisaragi looked stunned at their homeroom teacher. It was Aoi Matsumura.

Aoi: "Hello cla…uh…Atsuki and Rui? Even Unami, Akira, Mika and Yayoi are here too? SHINJI'S HERE TOO?"

Aoi stands frozen surprised to see her last year class.

Seta: "Who is she?"

Atsuki: "Our last year language teacher."

Aoi breaks into a wide smile. She starts taking roll.

Aoi: "Amagi, Yukiko."

Yukiko: "Over here, miss."

Yukiko was in the 3rd row 2nd seat.

Aoi: "Dobereiner, Nola."

Atsuki flinches as he hears the name. Some rapid footsteps are heard outside in the hallway. Nola crashes into the room.

Nola: "Here miss! Sorry I'm late!"

Aoi: "Don't worry dear. It's our first day!

Nola sat on the 5th row, 3rd seat next to Saijo.

Atsuki: (Whispering) "What the hell you're doing here?"

Nola: "FORT sent me for this mission. Don't worry, even Natsuki is at school."

Aoi keeps taking roll call.

Aoi: "Hanamura, Yosuke."

Yosuke: "Here I am."

He was behind Atsuki on the 4th row.

Aoi: "Kamishiro, Yayoi."

Yayoi: "Here, Ms. Matsumura."

She was beside Yukiko on the 2nd row.

Aoi: "Kujikawa, Rise."

Rise: "Here!"

She was sitting on the 1st row, 1st seat.

Aoi: "Mido, Akira."

Akira: "Here, teacher."

He was sitting on the 1st row behind Rise.

Aoi: "Naruse, Shinji!"

He snaps out in a start.

Shinji: "I'm 'ere, Aoi."

He's sitting on the 5th row, 2nd seat.

Aoi: "Watch your mouth, Shinji! Nozaki, Mika."

Mika: "Here, miss."

She was on the 2nd row, 3rd seat.

Aoi: "Saijo, Atsuki."

Atsuki: "Here Ms. Matsumura."

Atsuki was on the 4th row, 3rd seat.

Aoi: "Satonaka, Chie"

Chie: "Here teacher."

She's sitting on the 2nd row, behind Mika.

Aoi: "Shirogane, Naoto."

Naoto: "Here, missus."

Naoto was sitting on the 1st seat of the 5th row, in front of Shinji.

Aoi: "Seta, Souji."

Seta: "Here, miss."

Seta was in the 3rd row in front of Yukiko.

Aoi: "Unami, Ryo."

Ryo: "Here, miss Matsumura."

He was sitting behind Akira.

Aoi: "And the last: Yamase, Rui."

Rui: "Present."

She was on the 4th row, 2nd seat.

Aoi: "Good, everyone's here!"

Aoi starts talking about the class and year goals.

Shinji: (Whispering to Naoto) "Want to go out?"

Naoto: "Pleasure."

Shinji: "See you at 5:30 pm at Sweet Ring."

Aoi notices Shinji and Naoto whispering.

Aoi: "Miss Shirogane and Mr. Naruse, can you please stop talking?

Chie: "They look like love birds."

Rise: "That isn't bad, Chie."

Naoto: "Why do you say that, Chie?

She starts to blush.

Chie: "Well, you two are too mysterious."

Mika: "Yeah, it's like Akira and Rise-chan, too much whispering.

At the end of this sentence, Rise blushes and Akira scowls at Mika. Aoi over heard the whole conversation.

Aoi: "Class, stop the nagging! We're on September! Wait until February for Valentine's Day!

Aoi keeps talking about classes and stuff.

Nola: "It's good we're all in this, right?"

Atsuki: "It's the best."
