Chapter 4: The Joker

Author's Notes: All chapters (Chapters 1-4) are going to be re-uploaded. Sorry.

Everyone was shocked to hear his introduction.

All, except four of the class.

Tsukasa's prediction was never wrong.

And this was one of his predictions.

Amu, Rima, Tadase and Nagihiko looked at each other.

The class sympathized with Timmy. Some were also close to tears.

Even Nikaidou didn't say a word. He stared at the four. His instinct told him that the Guardians were expecting this.

"W-well, please choose where you want to sit. There are only a few choices, though."

Timmy didn't move. He was afraid that if he moved, he'd breakdown.

Everyone noticed him trembling. They wanted to comfort him, but they just remained silent.

"Crybaby," Rima muttered.

Everyone's attention was on her now.

She just shrugged. Timmy snapped back. He wiped his eyes and blinked.

He heard her.

Crybaby,

What had he done?

The first impression he gave, he showed them that he was weak. Someone even called him a crybaby.

"Shorty,"

In his defense, he just somehow blurted it out. He didn't intend to.

It just happened.

Who was he to talk anyway? He used to be short. He hated being called short, and now he just called someone that. He felt ashamed.

Nagihiko smirked. Amu scratched her head, while Tadase just stared.

Their train of thoughts ran exactly the same.

Tsukasa was just plain awesome.

There was a soft chuckle in class. Rima stood from her sit and glared at everyone.

Then it was silent once again.

No one messes with the Ice Princess.

Timmy was also intimidated. But there's no way that he would apologize.

He wanted to. But he was also frustrated.

His questions were not clearly answered. He hated not knowing.

In his head, he was blaming everyone in this place.

He knew that his anger was subjective but he is but a mere child (although 14 isn't much of a child anymore).

Timmy and Rima glared at each other.

Everyone could swear that they saw lightning bolts passed in between their eyes.

Nikaidou faked a cough. Still, no one is paying him any attention.

Tadase stood up. He knew it was his turn next. Tsukasa had told him so.

"Turner, we could bring them back," Tadase didn't know what Tsukasa intended by telling him to say that when the time comes. But he sure did get Timmy's attention.

Timmy somehow knew that he was talking about his fairies. He stopped glaring at Rima. Knowing that a lot of idle minutes had passed because of him, he looked for a chair near Tadase (though there was none) and so, he sat beside Nagihiko.

"Welcome, Joker."
