Chapter XII:
Truth
The five got onto the plane and traveled back to Arizona. They all went back to their own houses and unpacked. Seto soon traveled to his own mansion in California. Cordillia then invited Hotaru to stay with her and Joey because of her depression. Hotaru accepted and life returned back to normal, at least Cordillia thought.
"Oh Cordillia." Hitomi whispered through the classroom door. Cordillia looked as a drop of sweat trickled down her cheek. "Um. Just a moment. You may begin your homework on page eighty- five," Cordillia said with a professional tone and walked outside, leaving the door slightly cracked. "Hitomi," Cordillia said angrily, trying to restrain from yelling, "you know I'm in the middle of class. Wait, no you don't. How did you know I was subbing for my sister today?!" "Well," Hitomi said smugly, "I have my sources." "No you don't. I'm your only source, sometimes." Cordillia snapped back. "Actually, I'm here on official business," Hitomi replied. Cordillia gave her a strange look, "Are you the new janitor?" "No," Hitomi continued, "I have to tell you something. Well, Hot." Cordillia saw the principal walking by. She quickly pushed Hitomi into the classroom and slammed the door. She briefly smiled at the class. "Um." she started and was interrupted by the principal entering the room, "This is.um, Hitomi. She is going to speak to you about. abstinence." "How lovely," the principal said, "A guest speaker. I hope you don't mind my intrusion, I just wanted to check how everything was going. If you don't mind, I'd love to see this young lady's lesson. Mrs." "Miss Yoshi," Cordillia said staring blankly at Hitomi, "Actually, Miss Yoshi just wrapped up her speech. She was just about to leave." She smiled at the principal. "No she didn't, she just got here," said a plump boy in the back, followed by an obnoxious chuckle, "But if she's leaving, I can always teach this class. I know a lot about the topic." Cordillia and Hitomi glared at him. "That was an inappropriate comment Austin," the principal said, "I'd like to talk to you after Miss Yoshi presents." Everyone laughed and yelled at him. "Oh, did I she was leaving? I, I meant that she had just wrapped up her introduction," Cordillia lied with an unsure voice. She smiled at the principal, "Please continue Miss Yoshi." "Well." Hitomi started, "Many people's lives have changed since they've. ya know." She winked at the class. Cordillia stepped on Hitomi's foot. "Since they've fu." Cordillia quickly pinched her back and smiled. "Since they've had intercourse. It can cause psychological problems, physical problems, such as STD's, and pregnancy. Although, it's very fun." Cordillia pinched her again, "but don't do it. At your age, you may have urges to. This from your horoscopes." "Hormones," Cordillia corrected as the kids giggled. Hitomi continued, "Yes. Well, um, any questions?" One kid raised his hand. "Nick," Cordillia called. "Yeah, my dad taught me about this subject and he said that." "Any other questions?" Cordillia interrupted as the kids chuckled. "Great," she said skipping Austin's hand, "Let's all thank Hito.Miss Yoshi for coming." Everyone began to applaud. "Thank you SO much for coming! You did a wonderful job. That talk is exactly what our class needed. I feel that they are very educated on the topic now. Please, come again" the principal added. "But I barely." Hitomi said as Cordillia stepped in front of her. "It was a wonder speech. Thanks for visiting," Cordillia said politely as the principal walked out, "Now, continue with your homework. Austin, please step outside. The principal would like to have a word with you, NOW. Hitomi, you've already caused enough commotion here. Why are you here anyways?" Cordillia saw the janitor outside carrying some equipment, through the window, "Hold on just a minute. Watch the class for me." Then she raced out of the classroom to him and ran her hands through her hair. She licked her lips. "Let me just set this down," he said. Cordillia gave a satified look and went into the bathroom. Hitomi sighed as she watched the janitor, Shawn, follower her in.
Later, at lunch, Cordillia had just finished dismissing the class. "Now Hitomi, what were you saying?" "Well, after being interrupted ten thousand times. ER!" Hitomi said, being cut-off by a loud knocking. Cordillia answered. She slyly smiled at the group of boys from her sister's class. They all walked into the bathroom. Hitomi sighed as she sat down at Raye's desk. She looked at the pictures of her son Michael. One was a ripped picture was of her, Mike and a man's arm around her. She pulled it out of the frame and a ripped picture of Chad, Raye's ex-husband, fell out. Hitomi looked around and quickly slipped it into her pocket after seeing his number on the back. She had a lusty smile on her face. Then, noticing Cordillia's lunch on the table, she began to feel hungry. Hitomi then started on Cordillia's lunch. She continued looking through the desk. She found a note. "To my dearest sister Raye. Just Kidding. ( Anyways, I'm really worried about Hitomi. The other day I was reading her diary and she talked about killing herself! It really scared me. I know I hate her. well. but. I mean. She really has been through a lot lately. I know that she still misses Van. He really meant a lot to her. I just yelled at her really bad for messing around with Seto. I know that she deserved it, but . I don't know. I guess I kinda feel bad. I hope she doesn't hurt herself. Hotaru too. She's really depressed. Seto hurt her so much the other day. After Matt, I thought that she'd never make it but she stayed strong and tried it again and the same thing happened again. This time she might loose hope. I feel so bad. I hope that she doesn't think that it's her fault. She seems fine know. It's either his or Hitomi's fault. Neither will admit it though. Who should I believe? I hope one confesses soon so Hotaru knows what to do before. Well, before something bad happens. They seemed so perfect together. Anyways, I'll tell you the rest later. Call me. Oh yeah, your class was great (except for Austin, but that was taken care of ). How can you stand him? He annoys me so much. But don't worry, I've never said anything that bad . yet. Just kidding, I won't. Remember to call me!! -?- Cordy "
She neatly folded it up and slid it back into the desk. A tear dripped down Hitomi's cheek and smeared a paper.
