This is cheap, hahaha!
A set of blonde odangos lingered terribly close to the top of a wooden desk in a classroom of Juuban High School. It was nearing the end of the first day of classes, and her attention was set on the chirping birds outside the window. The pair seemed jovial enough, bouncing between limbs, and caroling each other as the sun's rays bathed their twittering feathers. Usagi fidgeted, anxious to get outside and enjoy the last vestiges of summer before fall set in.
She was meticulously planning a walk by the lake with her husband as the teacher came in and proceeded to call the road. They were nearing their six-month anniversary and she had to find if he was planning anything special. Perhaps a walk would give them time to prepare. She giggled quietly, hoping the dashing man would cart her off to some enchanted isle. Fat chance, considering Mamoru himself had nearly cried when he had to miss classes for their honeymoon. A small pout held upon her face as she mindlessly continued to wander within her own psyche.
"Chiba."
The chirping of birds answered the teacher, so he tried once again.
"Chiba."
Finding the sudden silence slightly irritating and the rest of the class rustling with the name they hadn't heard around school before this year, the teacher started grinding his teeth together. There was a sudden yelp in the back, provided from Makoto not so lightly kicking the shins of Usagi, and he repeated once more.
"Chiba?"
"Presento!" Usagi stood quickly and motioned with flailing arms.
"Well, why didn't you say so?" the teacher demanded gruffly before finding the next name in the roll.
"Gomen ne, sensei." Usagi slumped back into her chair. How was she to know they would have finally updated their rosters to her new name; all her other classes still had her as Tsukino. It seemed he was the only to download a recent roster.
Ah, some of these shorts might involve Usagi at school because I think there's a dynamic there. How many 16-yr olds are married? So, I would think she would try and keep it secret for as long as possible. Therefore, I may come back to that idea in later drabbles. Oh, well, just a short little rambling!
BTW, has anyone had this happen to them? Haha, I think it's funny when professors don't have the most recent rosters and end up calling some kid's name for 5 minutes who's no longer registered at the inversity. Heehee, perhaps it's just me. Then again, I guess in the larger class settings (upwards to 200 ppl) they really don't call the roll much. I wouldn't know, but I imagine so!
