I know, I know, I'm starting to become tardy when it comes
to posting up the next chapter, but can you blame me? I try to post it up as
fast as I can, but school just keeps getting in the way!!! But at least I'm
posting up the next chapter, right? Right! Okay guys! Here's chapter 6!
Chapter 6: Terada
Terada Yoshiyuki (A/N: is that right? I don't know if I spelled it right… *
goes away to ponder about it *) nodded at his students as they entered his
class. Who would've thought that he'd become a high school teacher teaching
Miss Daidouji, Mr. Hiiragizawa, Miss Kinomoto, Mr. Li, Miss Mihara, Rika, Mr.
Yamazaki and Miss Yanagisawa again?
Speaking of which, Terada thought as he watched Mr. Yamazaki and Miss Mihara come in, followed by Miss Yanagisawa (whose head is buried in a book as usual).
Rika comes in after them, and Terada smiled. The room seemed a bit brighter everytime she enters the class. Oh how he can't wait to marry her!
Rika passed by his desk, giving him a radiant smile. Terada would've blushed, but right now, he's a teacher and Rika's a student (as much as it pained him to think of it). So instead, he settled on returning her smile.
A sudden noise made Terada turn to look at the door and chuckled. It seems that Mr. Li and Mr. Hiiragizawa entered the class at the same time, which resulted in them getting squished together at the doorway. Mr. Li glared at Mr. Hiiragizawa, who merely smiled at him.
"Get out of my way, Hiiragizawa," he hissed. Mr. Hiiragizawa just chuckled.
"I would, if you weren't blocking my way," he replied. This angered Mr. Li even more. But before he could reply, Miss Kinomoto's voice was heard behind them.
"I hope you two aren't fighting again," she said. Suddenly, Mr. Li and Mr. Hiiragizawa stumbled in the class, falling to the floor. The door revealed Miss Daidouji and Miss Kinomoto, each having an amused smile on their faces.
"Good job Sakura-chan," Miss Daidouji said, smiling at the auburn-haired girl. Miss Kinomoto returned the smile.
"Good job Tomoyo-chan," she repeated. Both girls looked at the two boys, who were dusting themselves off the floor and were heading towards their desks, Mr. Li occasionally pushing Mr. Hiiragizawa to walk faster, who only walked slower to annoy Mr. Li.
As a teacher, Terada is required to be observant of his students to get to know them better. Every teacher knows that the only way to do that is to observe them, not communicate with them, because they'll only think you're eccentric and would never open up.
It's not like observing his students aren't fun. It is, as a matter of fact. For instance, Terada knows that Mr. Yamazaki keeps a book where he gets his little "facts". He also knows that Miss Kinomoto would fall asleep in the middle of Terada's lectures. And as soon as she does, Mr. Li would start burning a hole right through Miss Kinomoto's head from staring at her with a dreamy expression.
But the two people Terada finds most entertaining to watch are Miss Daidouji and Mr. Hiiragizawa. Unlike Miss Kinomoto, Miss Daidouji doesn't fall asleep in class. But Mr. Hiiragizawa was just as bad as Mr. Li, staring only at Miss Daidouji's back and nothing else. He would also do everything he can to impress Miss Daidouji, just so she could turn to him and congratulate him for a job well done.
To prove his point, Terada waited until his class was settled. As soon as they were, he began.
"Before I give you your quiz, let's have a little review, shall we?" his eyes twinkled staring at Mr. Hiiragizawa, who didn't notice because he was too busy staring at the raven-haired girl in front of him.
"How did World War 1 end?" he asked. As if on cue, Mr. Hiiragizawa's hand shot up in the air. Terada smiled. Just in time.
"Yes, Mr. Hiiragizawa?" he asked. Then Mr. Hiiragizawa would talk continuously, sometimes giving more than what was necessary. Terada gave him 2 minutes.
"That's enough, Mr. Hiiragizawa," he replied, smiling at the blue-haired boy. Mr. Hiiragizawa beamed. At that moment, Miss Daidouji turns to him, smiling and congratulating him for answering a question, then turning back without noticing that Mr. Hiiragizawa's face has turned into a brilliant shade of red.
Terada inwardly chuckled. Saying that watching Miss Daidouji and Mr. Hiiragizawa is very entertaining was an understatement.
"All right everyone. Clear you desks," he said, grabbing the stack of papers on his desks. As he was passing the quiz papers, he saw Miss Daidouji turn to Mr. Hiiragizawa, wishing him good luck. Hiiragizawa smiled back and said the same. The entertaining part of this is that both of them started blushing. Realizing that Miss Daidouji was staring, she turned around, still red in the face. Mr. Li saw all this and was now scowling at Mr. Hiiragizawa. Terada thought this was the time to break all of this up.
"You may begin," he said. Instantly, he heard the scratching of pencils. At this time, Terada "worked", meaning he would pretend to be doing something when really, he's watching his students so none of them would be cheating.
And then he noticed Miss Daidouji and Mr. Hiiragizawa once more. Terada watched as Mr. Hiiragizawa would look at a question, then would subconsciously stare at Miss Daidouji's head before turning back to his test paper, scribbling furiously.
Miss Daidouji, on the other hand, would look out the window and stare at the blue sky (much like Mr. Hiiragizawa's eyes, Terada mused) before turning back to her test paper.
Terada knows there's something going on between these two, but why won't they do something about it? It's not like there's anything stopping them from being together. Besides, Mr. Hiiragizawa isn't like 100 years older than Miss Daidouji (a/n: oh the irony! -^_^- * cough * moving along…).
That's when Terada had an idea. He's going to write to Mr. Hiiragizawa! The reason he decided to write to Mr. Hiiragizawa is because Terada finds it easier to manipulate a boy than a girl, and Terada really didn't want to face the wrath of Daidouji Sonomi if she finds out that her daughter's teacher is giving her a note encouraging her to tell how she feels to a boy (which she will, mind you. The Daidouji family has their ways of finding out the littlest things to the biggest things).
So, taking out a piece of paper and a pen, this is what Terada wrote:
Mr. Hiiragizawa,
I only have one piece of advice for you. Tell her. You'd be surprised at what you'll find.
Terada-sensei
P.S. You know what I'm talking about.
It was short, but it was all Hiiragizawa needs to know. Terada folded the note and placed it in his breast pocket. Then he turned to the clock. It was 5 minutes before his period finishes. Time to wrap things up for his students!
"All right class, stop writing and hand in your papers to the front," he said. A shuffle of papers was heard throughout the class. As soon as Terada collected all the papers, all his students left the classroom. Suddenly remembering the note, he dropped the stack of papers in his desk and went outside and called out the first person he sees.
"Miss Yanagisawa!" he yelled. Miss Yanagisawa turned, surprise.
"Yes Terada-sensei?" she asked.
"Tell me, do you have Mr. Hiiragizawa in your next class?" he asked. Miss Yanagisawa nodded, confused written all over her face. Terada fished out the note in his breast pocket and handed it to Miss Yanagisawa.
"Can you do a favor for me and give this to him for me?" he asked. Miss Yanagisawa nodded again, looking at the note on her palm.
"Thank you Miss Yanagisawa," Terada said. Miss Yanagisawa smiled at him, trying to cover her confusion.
"No problem, Terada-sensei," she replied before turning to go to her locker. Terada watched the girl leave.
Please let that note reach Mr. Hiiragizawa's hand, he thought before entering the classroom to prepare for his next class.
All right! That's chapter 6! I think I made this a little shorter, because it's really hard to do Terada's point of view since there's not much background on him in CCS. So dear readers, can you guess at this point who the next person I'm going to do for the next chapter? If not, I suggest you read the part after Terada's students left his class more closely. Now, be good readers and review, okay? See ya! * blows kisses *
