Meanwhile, we'd arrived at our class. The class stared at us and the teacher looked at us with a look of displeasure.
"Late on your first day of school, Lady Tsukino? And you're dragging along Ichijo with you? You're asking for detention, are you?", the teacher said. I looked her deep in the eyes and replied.
"I'm a very sorry teacher. It won't happen again. You'll let it slide this once, right?"
"This one time then. Go sit in the front," the teacher said.
"Thank you, teacher." Takuma and I went to sit in front of the classroom. At first, I tried to pay attention, but after realising that I already knew all of the stuff being taught, I gave up and started to doodle things in my notebook.
I'm standing on top of Zero-kun, laughing whilst Yuuki is in Kaname-kun's arms because she fainted and the Night Class clapping... Muhahaha... Aido-kun is worshipping me because he realised how awesome I am for crushing Zero to a pulp. Taku-chan is clapping... Yeah... I'm digging this...
"Lady Tsukino, would you like to show us the notes you made?", the teacher asked me.
"Er... Well, there's a small problem with that you see... Hey!" I yelped when the teacher took it from me.
"Interesting..." she said. "Would you like to explain what's drawn on here?"
"I'd prefer not to..." I said whilst staring at my feet.
"Well then, I'll try to," she said as she showed the whole class my drawing. "You were even so kind to put names next to your characters. Well, for the students in the back, it's you standing on top of Zero, whilst laughing with the Night Class clapping in the background. It also seems like..."
"Enough!" I said. I froze time and took the drawing from Teacher. I ran outside and came to a stop at a fountain. The water drops were floating in mid-air, waiting for me to unfreeze time so that they can fall back to the rest of the water. The pure embarrassment of what had just happened started to sink in. I let out a small tear, it fell into the water.
Mommy, daddy, how am I supposed to make friends? I thought Takuma-kun would be my friend, but after seeing that drawing, he won't like me anymore would he?
I felt hopeless and stupid for even holding expectations when coming here. Even though I tried to deny it, I did look forward to interacting with someone who isn't a stuffed bunny named Mister Cuddles.
I froze as I felt a presence behind me. I turned around in confusion.
Everyone's frozen in time, right? How could someone have moved?
"K-Kaname-sama?" I said in confusion. "Aren't you supposed to be... ...frozen?"
Kaname came closer and wiped a tear from my cheek.
"Please don't show me your tears, Lady Shiro. It's not the end of the world," Kaname said, ignoring my question.
"B-but..."
"They won't hate you for a single drawing, Lady Shiro. That's not how the world works. Now, come with me and unfreeze time again. I'm sure you'll figure out a way to get out of this." He offered me his hand. I reluctantly took it and followed him through the hallways, back to the classroom.
"By the way, Lady Shiro, why didn't you just turn back time?" Kaname asked me.
"Well, freezing time and teleporting is not a problem since you don't really affect the future much, but meddling with time... Time doesn't repeat itself. Meddling with time travelling is something I chose not to do, because of the consequences," I answered him. I only told him half of the truth, though. There was another reason to why I didn't like to travel through time.
"Pretty noble for a pure blood to care about such things," Kaname whispered under his breath, but I could still hear him. I chose to ignore him. When we arrived at the classroom, I thanked Kaname and thought of a way to get myself out of this mess. I had an idea. I took my notebook from the teacher and teleported to my room. I laid it on top of my bed and then proceeded to teleport back to the classroom. I sat back in my chair and stifled a laugh. I unfroze time and waited.
POV Kaname
I watched as Shiro's face lit up, an almost visible light bulb hanging above her head. Shiro's tiny frame and long wavy hair made her look childlike, especially from afar. So much so, that you almost couldn't help yourself from instantly adoring her, well, if she kept her mouth shut. I didn't know her for long, but I could already tell that she was a blunt person, even more so when angry or flustered, judging from her outburst at arrival. Not that I'd blame her, Zero annoyed him equally as much. Her drawing amused me, and I admitted that I would like for it to become a reality, minus Yuuki fainting. I paid attention to the front of the classroom again, as time had suddenly been unfrozen.
"...Yuuki is in Lord Kaname's arms since she fainted from shock," the teacher continued. It took her a little while to realise that she was holding nothing but air and she looked into the classroom with a bewildered expression.
"Teacher, how am I supposed to explain a drawing that doesn't exist? I was going to tell you that you were holding air, but you interrupted me. I think that you might have to take a rest and go to the infirmary, how can you teach when you're hallucinating?" Shiro said, acting like she was completely innocent. It was quite cute to look at.
"But I could've sworn that it was there just a second ago!" the teacher replied. Now Shiro stared deeply into her eyes. I got the same weird feeling as before when she avoided detention for being late. She's... ...compelling the teacher! My eyes opened wide in shock as I realised what she'd been doing up till now.
"You're not able to teach when you're like this. Go to the infirmary and get some rest," Shiro said in a sweet tone.

"You're right. I'll go," the teacher said.
"Now we're allowed to enjoy our free time," Shiro continued.
"Yes, do as you please. You're free for the rest of the day," the teacher said in a daze. The teacher walked to the infirmary looking as if she'd seen a ghost. She probably won't realise what she's doing until she wakes up again. I will have to talk to her about this. Meanwhile, Shiro had jumped out of her chair in excitement.
"Takuma-kun! I've saved us. We've been freed! That lesson was soooo boring, I already knew eeeeeeverything," she whined as if she was a little kid. Is this really the same girl who talked so seriously about time travelling before? "Takuma-kun! I wanna eat ice cream. Do you know where we can buy ice cream? Will you take me to eat ice cream? Pleeeeaaaase?" Shiro whined.
"Of course! But I think that Kaname would like to talk to you first," Takuma said as if reading my mind. Sometimes he scared me.
"Okay..." Shiro said gloomily. "Wait for me at the fountain!" she said before walking towards me.
POV Shiro
The prospect of having to see Kaname after compelling the teacher immediately dropped my spirits again. I was pretty certain that this isn't what he meant with 'figuring a way out of this'.
"You probably know why you're here, right?" Kaname said in a stern voice as if he was going to lecture me.
"You're going to lecture me, aren't you?" I said, staring at him with big eyes. "Well, in my defence, the class was sooooo boring, what did you expect me to do?"
"Don't compel the teacher anymore, okay? We wouldn't want her to go crazy, would we?" he talked down to me as if I were a little kid. I was probably acting like one, though.
"Understood, mister serious!" I said, whilst bringing my hand to my forehead as if saluting a general. Kaname smiled and patted my head.
"Now go to Takuma, he's waiting for you," Kaname said.
"Hai!" I ran away into the hallway. I teleported to the fountain since I didn't really know how to walk there. With my bizarre sense of luck, I teleported on top of Takuma.
"Wah!" Takuma yelped out.
"Sorry!" I said whilst crawling off of him.
"It's okay," Takuma said, scratching the back of his head.
"Okay then, let's go get some ice cream!"
