CHAPTER 5: Secret
NOTE: I don't own GALS! and in this story, Ran Kotubuki doesn't have a brother. And I think this chapter is more focused on Miyu... Well, hope you enjoy this chapter! Arigato gozaimashita!
A blonde girl slowly opened the door of their science laboratory. It was dark but somehow, she can see the things in there. The curtains were closed. She found a man sitting in a chair and is working on something. "Sensei..." she murmured. The teacher looked at her. Then the girl quickly hugged him tight. "What's wrong?" the teacher asked. "Nothing... I just missed you because of the field trip..." "Really? but we can almost see each other everyday... during classes." he explained. "It's different..." the girl looked at his face then kissed him.

"What's for lunch today?" Ran asked. "Um... let's see... chicken and steak." Aya replied. "I'll go for steak." "Me too... how about you, Miyu?" "I can't eat lunch right now... I have something to do...Right! My research in english! I forgot all about it! I'm just gonna go at the library, okay?" Miyu reasoned. "Bye!" she shouted as she left. "What's with her?" "She said 'Research in english? But we don't have any projects in english." Aya explained.
----2 days later----
The phone rang. "Hello? Miyu?" Ran said, hoping that she can talk to Miyu and not her answering machine. "Hi, please leave a message for me after the beep, thank you." the answering machine instructed. Ran pushed a button on her phone. "She's not home yet." Ran said. "Just as I thought." Aya replied. "Where could she be? She's always like this." "Maybe we should ask her," Aya suggested. "Yeah, let's ask her tomorrow."
----Dismissal Time----
"Miyu!" Ran shouted as she and Aya caught up with her. "Oh... Ran and Aya." "Would you like to go with us to go to the mall?" she asked. "Yeah, come with us... Saeko and Izumi are coming with us." Aya explained. "Gomen, but I have something to do, so I can't go." Miyu reasoned."Maybe next time." she added. "Oh, okay..."
----
When the two went down the highschool building, they saw that there were now only few students there."What's wrong with her? The mall is her favorite place." Aya wondered. "Yeah..." Suddenly, the two heard a cellphone ring. Aya grabbed her cellphone then pushed a button. "Hello? Oh, mom... yes... Go home? Now?... Sure... bye." Aya then pushed again a button and placed it on her bag again. "Sorry, Ran... I gotta go home." Aya said. "Oh, sure..." "Then, see you tomorrow!" Aya said as she leaves. 'What am I going to do now? I guess I should go home... Oh, but Izumi and Saeko are still there.' Ran thought. Suddenly, Ran heard a glass break by the science laboratory. Ran decided to check out what happened there. She saw an opened window and tried to peek inside. She didn't saw anything. 'Maybe it's just the wind.' Ran thought. But as soon as she was ready to leave, she heard someone inside talk. She peeked again and finally saw a girl and a man talking. But it was so dark in there that she couldn't see the two clearly. "Sensei, I'm very sorry about that. I'll just clean it up." the girl said. 'Sensei? Mr. Mizuki?' Ran guessed because she finally saw that he has glasses and a short, jet- black hair and he's very tall. She saw the girl already got back with a broom on her hand. "What's the matter with you? Do you have any problems?" the teacher asked. "No... It's just that... our relationship..." 'relationship?' Ran repeated what the girl said. "Maybe someone will find out sooner or later... I'm afraid that it will be revealed to everyone..." she murmured. "That will not happen... as long as we keep it a secret." he explained. Mr. Mizuki looked straight at her eyes. The two then embraced. "Miyu..." he murmured. 'What? Did he said Miyu?' Ran was so shocked that she can't barely move. 'Relationship with a teacher? If anyone finds out... Mr. Mizuki could be fired... and Miyu can be kicked out in this school...' Ran thought. She already decided to leave the place. But when Ran passed through the door, it suddenly opened. It was Miyu. "Ran?" Miyu has the look of shock on her face.
----
"I'm really sorry about it... I didn't mean to eavesdrop on your conversation with Mr. Mizuki." Ran apologized. "That's okay... I meant to told you that anyways...besides, I'm the one who should say that... I didn't tell you two that I have a relationship with Mr. Mizuki." Miyu said. "That's understandable, I know you want to keep it a secret... because if the whole school finds out about it..." "I know... but, is it a sin to love someone?" Miyu asked. "Since when did you have a relationship with him?" Ran asked. "When the school year was nearly ended..."
----Flash Back----
"I remembered that I had lots of problems then... my grades, money and most of all, my parents. They had a divorce..." Miyu explained. Miyu opened the door of their classroom and seated at a vacant chair on the back beside the window. "Miyu!" Ran called. Miyu looked at Ran "Are you okay?" she asked. "Yes..." Miyu replied as she flashed a smiles. Suddenly, the door opened and a man with jet- black hair went inside their classroom. He placed his things on the table then looked at his class."Please bring out your books then turn it to page 16." he announced. The class did what the teacher instructed. As soon as Miyu got her book, she can't help but look outside. Then she found a couple together with their child. Suddenly, the small child fell down on his knees. He begun to cry. "Are you alright, Hideki?" the mother asked. The child nodded then stopped crying. "Let's go buy some ice cream." the father suggested. "Yeah... let's go, Hideki." The boy nodded again. "Oka- san... Oto- san..." Miyu murmured. Mr. Mizuki saw Miyu staring blankly outside. He too looked outside and found what she was looking at. "Ms. Yamazaki." he called. Miyu quickly stood. "Gomenasai..." she apologized. Mr. Mizuki just ignored her and continued discussing.
----Hours Later----
"Miyu!" a girl called. Miyu stopped walking. "Can you please bring our project to Mr. Mizuki at the science laboratory?" she asked. "Ms. Ikusawa told us to help her for the upcoming fair here." the second girl said. "Sure." "Thanks, Miyu!" the girl said as she hands her project to Miyu. "Let's go, Saeko." Then the two left. Miyu looked at the project and continued walking.
----
Miyu knocked at the door of the laboratory. But she presumed that no one was there. So she decided to let herself in. "Mr. Mizuki!" she called. But the room was very dark. So Miyu decided to just leave the project at a table. But suddenly, the door opened. "Ms. Yamazaki." the teacher said as he saw Miyu. "Um... here's the project of group two in class 2- B." she explained. "Just leave it there." Then Miyu started to leave. "Do you have any problems...? You can't seem concentrate in my subject." he asked. "No... I'm fine." Is it about your parents?" he asked. "Even if I do have any problems... It's none of your business! No one can really understand what I feel! So please don't bother!" Miyu shouted as she left. Mr. Mizuki just stood there as if nothing happened.
----Next Day----
Miyu opened her locker and placed her books on it. After that, she locked it then left. 'Why did I scold on Mr. Mizuki like that?' she thought. 'It's none of your business!' she remembered clearly what she said to him.'I should apologize to him... It was very disrespectful.'
----
Miyu opened the door of the laboratory and looked for Mr. Mizuki. She opened the second door and found him looking at a picture. It was a girl with long, brown hair and she was very beautiful. She was like a goddess."Sensei..." she murmured. Mr. Mizuki looked at her. "I came here... to say sorry about yesterday... " she continued. "Yesterday?" he repeated. "Yes... it's just that... I'm just sad that my parents divorced and I feel all alone..." "It's nothing... I understand that."he said. "Thank you... Oh... Is that a picture of your girlfriend?" Miyu asked. "No, it's my wife." Miyu has the look of shock on her face."Wife? But you're only twenty- two, right?" she asked. "Yes... actually, we didn't really got married. We just declared ourselves that we were." Mr. Mizuki explained. "Oh... but where is she now?" she asked. "She... passed away... two years ago." "Passed away? I'm sorry that I asked you about her." Miyu apologized. "It's okay... It's the past and I don't want to live in my past... But I don't want to forget her... her smile..." he murmured. I always help him with the checking of the papers and the experiments.You noticed that I always help him after dismissal, right?" Miyu asked. "Yeah... I remember that." Ran said. "And in those days, I didn't realized that I slowly fell in love with him, until..."
