"Ugh, why does George always have to be "fashionably" late?" Arashi asked, him, Miwako and Isabella, were inside
their school, standing in the halls waiting for George, the first bell had already rung, and other students were passing
them going to class, while they stood and waited for George. "Maybe he's having trouble" Isabella said concerned,
"But he said he'd come to school today all by himself" Miwako said, "Yeah but, he only recently got out of the hospital,
maybe he's still feeling drained" Isabella said, "Should we call him?" Miwako asked getting nervous as well,
"Why bother, he probably won't answer anyways..." Arashi mumbled, "Let's just go to class, maybe George decided
against coming to school, because of his condition" Isabella said, "Okay, I hope Georgey's alright though" Miwako said,
"Me too" Isabella said, the three soon got into class, sitting down just before the Teacher turned around, to take attendance. *I do hope he's okay* Isabella thought nervously, *I wonder if he got cold feet, and didn't want to come to school, and just didn't want to admit it* Arashi thought, *We could always see him after school!* Miwako thought
happily. (A little later in the day, the Seiji was about to give his students, their assignment) "Alight students put away those books, for this assignment you'll only need your-" Seiji was saying, but stopped cold a look of utter surprise on
his face, as he looked past he rest of the students, towards the door. "Good morning all~" George said stepping in
with his fancy suit and hat on, his cane in hand, as he strutted up to the Teachers desk, turning the students heads
as he walked by, even his friends looked astonished. "Mr Koizumi!" Seiji said surprised, "Hello there Seiji"
George said, "Your here- How do you feel?" Seiji asked standing up, "Obviously fine, I'm here aren't I?"
George asked smugly, his hat tilted just over his eyes, as he smiled. "Well were elated to have you back- Oh but
I'm not sure if you can do this work" Seiji said, "What do you mean? Just because I was in the hospital, doesn't
mean I cannot do school work now" George assured, "Well okay, but you probably don't have anything prepared"
Seiji said, "What do you mean?" George asked, "Well, I was just about to tell the students to come up and give a speech about, their thoughts on the arts, taught throughout this school- But you don't have anything prepared, it just wouldn't be fair Koizumi" Seiji said, "Oh, fear not, by the time you get to me, I'll have had something to say" George said, "Okay Koizumi, whatever you say, you may take your seat for now;And welcome back again" Seiji said, George just tipped
his hat, before going to sit down, in the empty seat between Isabella and Arashi. "So you finally decided to show up eh?" Arashi asked, "I was a bit busy" George said, "That's okay George, how are you feeling?" Isabella asked,
"I feel...Fine, I'm okay" George said, "That's good to hear" Miwako said happily, "Now, now, no more talking,
its rude to talk through someones speech" George said looking ahead, listening as the students spoke, one after another. *Hmm, George is acting a little strange, he didn't greet the other students, like before...Eh maybe he's just not feeling it* Arashi thought. (George ended up being the last student, to give his speech, being Seiji was trying to be kind enough to give him more time, to write up his speech like the other student, but even after all that time, George came up empty handed) "When ever your ready Mr Koizmi" Seiji said smiling sympathetically at his prize student, as the other students were at the edge of their seats, waiting for George's inspiring words. George cleared his throat, and took off his hat exposing his neatly cut blue hair, he put his hat over his heart and smiled at the crowd. "Friends, Students, Teacher;As you all know, designing and crafting clothes, has always been a passion of mine, its one of my favorite things to do in the world, something I could never get tired of, like all the forms of art taught here in our lovely school, clothes designing is a way to express yourself, and bring others into your world of beauty. For some art is a outlet from the real world, that at times, can get too hectic or too dull, taking someones art away, is like putting a hand over their mouth so they couldn't breath- And eventually the person suffocates and dies" George said, getting some slightly weary looks, which he ignored, continuing on with his speech. "Like every artist knows well, something as small as a not carefully thought out negative word, regarding their self expression could stifle them, as well as a false display, of gratitude towards, the persons art could make them stop designing all together- because without a true opinion the artist would never know how good or bad they've done, even with all the hard work, peoples neglectful words,
even with saying;Its in his or her best interest, even with saying "nice" things, trying to be kind to the artist, it only hurts them in the long run. And the artist instead of growing as a person, by hearing the honesty, the Artist will grow to hate the people putting on the false display of appreciation, and eventual stop crafting all together. Thank you" George said walking back to his seat, while everyone was left in shocked. Seiji soon recovered, and sent the students out after the school bell rung once more. None of the students dared speak to George, after that powerful speech, they just watched him and whispered, as he past by. (Now George, Isabella, Miwako and Arashi stood in the parking lot, where George's car was parked, and he was leaned against it, while his friends stood around him.) "So George, I guess we can officially welcome you back now" Isabella said, "Yes, thank you" George said, "How do you feel now George?" Miwako asked, "I still feel fine, thanks for asking" George said smirking, "Would you like us to come home with you?" Isabella asked, "Yeah we could fix you some dinner!" Miwako said smiling, "That won't be necessary" George said, getting into his car,
shutting the door. Arashi stared at George frowning, he thought back to one of the last times he saw him before surgery, how broken he looked, then when he talked to him on his first night home, it still seemed he was hiding something, even now he seemed so different, George was always one to speak his mind, no matter what, but the speech he gave in class seemed so dark, almost like he was threatening his classmates, or possibly just giving them some sort of message. "Arashi" George said, getting his attention, "Aye?" Arashi responded, "Just wanted to be sure you were listening before I leave" George said, getting everyones attention on him. "I wanted to say thanks again, for everything you've done for be, since I was in the hospital, especially with helping making the prom clothes" George said, "Your welcome George!" Miwako said, "We were glad to help" Isabella said, "We're just glad you aren't so sick anymore" Arashi said, *Or is he now sick in the head?* He thought, "Well, I just wanted to say, the video you shot was lovely" George said shocking everyone. *He saw it?* They all though nervously, "Anyhow" George said putting on his shades. "I expect to see you all at Paradise Kiss, this weekend" George said, starting up his car. *If he saw that video, then that must be the reason he said all those things in school, I've gotta say something!* Arashi thought,
"George!" Arashi shouted reaching out to him, but George already started speeding away, adjusting his shades one last time before he was out of sight.
