For Right And Wrong (2)

Usagi blinked her now green eyes. Contacts really didn't
affect her eyesight, she decided. She started to put her dyed black
and purple locks in there usual style, but hesitated. Odango were
too noticeable. Instead she put her hair into a bun.
Satisfied with her work, she left the public bathroom she
occupied and walked to the nearest 'Hot Topic'. She bought a whole
new wardrobe with her new VISA card and changed in the store. She
now wore a black lace up top with swooping sleeves, a plaid mini-
skirt, fishnets, and black boots. Her lipstick was dark brownish
red, and she was wearing brown and gray eye makeup.
Her next stop was to a local jewelry shop where she bought
plenty of necklaces, jelly bracelets, and rings. While there, she
also got her ears, belly button, and nose pierced. Her image was now
complete.
She then walked to a nearby collage, The Yama Umi collage.
There was a 'Help Wanted' sign in the window. Usagi stepped inside.
'I just figured I could sneak into this collage, but I guess maybe
I'll just get a job.' she thought. The building was white inside
with tiled hallways and students everywhere. She found the office
quite easily. Before entering the room, she took a deep breath and
fixed her outfit. Everyone in the office looked up as she walked in.
She knew she wasn't really dressed the part, but she just had to
deal with it. So instead of fretting, in a confident voice she
asked, "Where do I go about the job opening?"
One woman stood up and gave a half-asked smile. She then
escorted her to the principal's office.
"How may I help you?" asked the woman in a sweet voice. She
had short blue hair and kind eyes to match. She was dressed in a
blue blouse and skirt set with panty hose and navy blue high heels.
"I am here about the job opening. I understand that you have a
position open, is that correct?" replied Usagi.
"Hai, there is a position in the arts open. I am the principal
here, Mizuno Ami. You are interested?" Ami questioned.
"Hai, here is my resume." Usagi answered, handing the woman a
piece of paper. Luckily, she had stuck that in her purse, just in
case. After a few discussions and going overs of Usagi's resume, the
principal looked pleased.
"Kaminari Kuro, Is that correct?" asked Ami.
"Hai," Usagi, now officially known as Kuro said.
"Congratulations, you're hired to be our new abstract arts
teacher." Ami said with a smile on her face. "I think you have the
stuff to really show these kids that art is not always on the
canvas."
"Domo Arigatou! I will do my best." Kuro answered. After a
tour of the school, Ami and her ended back up in front of the
office. "I will give you my address on my first day. I was planning
on getting my apartment after I applied for this job."
"School doesn't start for two weeks yet. The students are just
starting to arrive today. Come in on September 7th at 7:30. Oh, and
you don't have to dress any differently."
After a short good-bye, Kuro left Ami to her work in search of
an apartment. The first one she looked at was perfect; Kuro had
always had good judgment about those types of things. She rented it
for a few hundred a month. By now it was almost dinnertime. Kuro
walked to a local Burger King and ate on the carpet. Then she went
to sleep on the floor.
The next two weeks were filled with arts and preparation.
First she painted and furnished her apartment with funky furs,
dayglow paint, black lights, and such. She also ripped up the carpet
and stained the floor. Next, she bought a car so she could go to
work. It was a VW Microbus, which she painted as well. Next, she got
her lesson plan ready. This was a required course at this particular
collage, seeing as it was an arts collage, so she would have several
classes. By the time she finished, the next day she was to begin
classes.
The next morning she awoke to the Ataries blaring from her
alarm clock. She got up right away and made herself some coffee.
When she was finished she hopped in the shower and dressed. Today
she wore a black shirt sporting Ralph from the Simpsons picking his
nose and saying "My cat's breath smells like cat food", black pants,
a dragon necklace, and black boots. She had recently gotten her hair
cut short, and now styled it with gel to make it messy looking and
kind of spiky. Lastly she applied her lipstick and silver eye shadow
with dark gray liner.
She was at the school ten minutes early, which gave her enough
time to stop at the office and give Ami her address and phone
number. Then she walked into her classroom to wait for her students.
She was searching through the supply closet for a different color
chalk (she couldn't stand white) as the students walked in. Finally
she found pink, which was somewhat better, and went back to her
desk. There was an audible gasp when the students saw Kuro walk out,
and the room went quiet.
It was time for class to begin, so she said, "Good morning
class. I am Kaminari-sensei, the teacher of this class, but you may
call me Kuro if you like. Welcome to abstract art. Does anyone have
any questions before we begin?"
One preppy boy raised his hand. Kuro called on him, and he
asked: "Are you seriously our teacher?"
"Hai, I am. Anyone else?"
Kuro called on a girl wearing an Emily brand shirt. "Where did
you get that shirt?"
"Hot Topic. Is that all? Okay then, let's begin."
Kuro explained how the class was going to work, supplies needed, a
little bit about abstract art, different styles, techniques, and
such. All the classes went smoothly today, though everyone seemed to
be surprised by Kuro's appearance.
At her last class of the day, she saw one boy that didn't seem
to fit into the rest of her classes. He had shaggy dark brown hair
in a long ponytail and was wearing a shirt that said "Unwritten Law"
on it in big, bold letters. He seemed lonely somehow, even though he
was with a large group of skater punks. She couldn't help but fall
for him. She knew that she shouldn't have a crush on one of her
students, but who can control the matters of the heart?
