Chapter 1: The substitute…

It was just an ordinary day at Kadic Junior High, or so the three eighth grade boys thought. After saying good-bye to their friend Yumi, Jeremy, Odd and Ulrich headed to science class.

"Well guys, another day another chance to catch up on some sleep." Odd Della Robbia said while opening the door to allow the others to enter first.

"You know Odd, if you would sleep at night instead of listening to music and e-mailing girls, plus keeping me up, you could spare the class your snoring." Ulrich Stern said, taking his seat and letting out a yawn.

"Odd, are you still going on those chat lines?" Jeremy Belpois asked, placing his book bag on the floor before taking his seat.

"Hey, what do you expect…he's done been through all the girls here." Ulrich said.

"Listen, I don't have to hear this. I don't believe in love at first sight, you have to play the field." Odd said, leaning back in his chair and placing his hands behind his head.

"I said, Ms. Hertz is not coming today." The three heard and looked to see a long dark brown haired girl standing with her hands on her hips, glaring at a boy.

"But why…Ms. Hertz has never missed a day…that I know of." Another class mate named Herve said, not believing the girl.

"Hum." She started, throwing hair over her shoulder before crossing her arms in mock expression. "I overheard my father on the phone this morning talking to her. She said something about twisting her ankle in the garden or something."

"Should you be listening in on your father's phone conversations?" Another boy named Nicolas asked.

"Well, I could not help but overhear, we were eating at the same table when he was on the phone." She said.

Everyone in the whole school knew Elisabeth Delmas' father was the principal of Kadic Junior High and she reminded everyone everyday to that fact.

"Well do you know the substitute?" Ulrich asked.

"Ulrich dear, I don't know." She answered almost cooingly while walking over to lean on the desk in front of him. "He went to the office and made some phone calls and he didn't tell me." She told him, battering her eyelashes at him.

"Sorry I asked." He muttered, rolling his eyes. Everyone in the school also knew that Elisabeth (a.k.a. Sissi) had a crush on Urlich. But deep down his heart belong to the fourth member of their little group, Yumi Ishiyama, a ninth grader.

Just then the door opened and Sissi's father, Principal Jean-Pierre Delmas, walked in followed by a red haired man.

Clearing his throat, Principal Delmas got the class's attention and waited until everyone was seated and facing front before he spoke.

"Class, I'm sorry to say that Ms. Hertz will be absent for a few days. She's had an accident and will be in bed for a day or two. So I would like to introduce you to Mr. Shuiichi Minamino, he has a master in Biology and will be more then able to continue your lessons as planned. Please show him the same respect you would give to Ms. Hertz." He turned to address the red haired and shaking his hand, whispered "good luck" before leaving and closing the door behind him.

Shuiichi (a.k.a. Kurama) Minamino placed his satchel on the chair before picking up the chalk and writing his name on the board. After which, he turned around and addressed the class.

"Hello, as Principal Delmas said, I am Mr. Minamino and as I do with all the classes I substitute for, I will take five minutes to answer any questions you may have."

His green eyes scanned the room, watching five hands go up, all girls.

"I will answer any as long as there are not any comments about my hair in the question." Kurama added.

Four hands went down.

"Yes…Elisabeth." Kurama said looking down to the seating chart on the desk, right next to a barely alive plant in a small decorative pot. The whole class cringed as they waited for her to tell him that she liked to be called Sissi. When nothing was said, the class turned and looked at her. Sissi's hand was still up and her mouth was slightly opened, she was also blushing.

"Ah…I…well it's not about your hair…I wanted to know how long you've been a teacher and…well, how old are you?" She managed to get out.

Kurama didn't even bat an eye at the questions. This was nothing new to him. He always had girls, from any grade he taught, have an immediate crush on him and some of the older girls, like in high school, even tried to seduce him.

"Two years and well…I will let you do the math on my age." Kurama answered. He looked at the seating chart again and saw Elisabeth's last name. 'Oh, she's the principal's daughter. I'll have to watch it with her.' "Any more questions?" He asked aloud. When no more hands rose, he said. "Well then…let us get started, shall we?" And picked up the lesson plan.

After being able to pick up where Ms. Hertz had left off on the study of micro-organisms, the bell finally rang and the class filed out.

The three boys lagged behind and noticed Sissi was not getting up, she was instead watching Mr. Minamino put away his papers before starting to erase the board.

"Come on 'Elisabeth'…you can't sit here and watch him all day." Ulrich said. The whole class had watched her ogled over the red head.

"Maybe she'll leave you alone for awhile Ulrich, I'd let her be." Odd started, but then turned and faced the girl. "And yeah, you never did get mad at him for calling you Elisabeth." He added. She had raised her hand every time a question had been asked and would give a giggle when he said her true name.

She finally seemed to brake out of her trance and gathering her books, replied smart-aleck. "It's Sissi to you." Her voice then turned sweet and innocent. "And as for him." She looked at the red head. "He's the only one to pronounce it right."

"Whatever." Ulrich said rolling his eyes and they all walked out.
