Chapter 2: The Ceremony and the New Term
"Oh, why am I so addicted to booze and porn?"
"Hey wow what a hottie student! I wonder if I should ask for her phone number?"
"Wait a second, big chest… celebrity sunglasses… long reddish orange hair with a sun hat on top… oh my god! It's Nomura!"
Eikichi pulls over his bike and examines the girl. No mistakes about it, she is Nomura Tomoko, waiting for her limousine. She looked forlorn and kept looking at her watch as if something is very important is about to happen.
"Yo! Nomura! What are you waiting for? Do you need a ride?"
Eikichi gets up from his bike and asks her casually, as he suddenly forgets again about his current priority.
"Sensei! I'm going to be late to school!... Aren't you supposed to be there too?"
Tomoko replied with a question and it dumbstruck Eikichi. He just realized his mistake.
"Oh hell, damn it, hop on I'll get you there, they'll excuse you for being late if a teacher is with you---" Eikichi never finished his sentence; Tomoko caught him off guard again with another question…
"Do you mean you will get excused because of my celebrity status that has caused problems for everyone?" Tomoko asked with a grin on her face. She was never fast, but she understood enough about her teacher to know what he was doing again… and why he is here now.
"Me? Needing an excuse? OF COURSE NOT! I'M THE GREAT TEACHER ONIZUKA! HA HA HA!..." Eikichi tries to laugh it off with a vein bulging on his forehead.
"The devil is going to smite me again… I can feel his screams and whippings now…"
"Sensei… it's not very nice to lie to your students… Will you give me a ride then?" Tomoko, in spite of her teacher's behavior asks politely. Really. She thought. It has been a long time since she rode a bike, and the last time was with him.
"Alright alright… we'll have to hurry before the devil himself spills blood---"
"Devil? Which devil is now after you?"
"Never mind that, hold on tight."
And Eikichi speeds off into Tokyo traffic… Never realizing the actual tightness of Tomoko's hold around him.
"How I always enjoy being with you sensei… always in my troubled times… And speeding off eager for tomorrow…"
"He's late… Again"
"Well, he is the idiot that will never change… but I wonder what he will do this time."
Urumi smiles, keeping the thoughts to herself while being with all her friends that she knew for so long. The ceremony has started with all the students are currently lining up in their respective classes. All of the school staff are seated on stage, with one person missing, the seat reserved for "GTO".
"Well, knowing him, it will be very entertaining to observe everyone with his dazzling late arrival…"
"Good morning to everyone. I am director Sakurai Ryoko, head mistress of this school. I am pleased to announce the beginning of our new school year. Our school principal this year will be Uchiyamada Hiroshi, whom I trust will be enthusiastic in education for every students and monitoring the school staff. I will now pass to Principal Uchiyamada for his words..."
"Oh, where is he? He always makes my heart race like this… only to surprise me with the most unexpected…"
Azusa, seated behind the podium wonders about her staff associate. Onizuka is always like this, keeping her on the edge of her seat with his approach to everything.
"…So now everyone… I would like our staff to introduce them---"
…VROOM!…VROOOOOOOM!...
Main door entrance breaks open with a huge thud… A white figure with hair behind it flies in to crash into the stage; the bike appeared to have stopped in front of the principal with its body trapped in the podium.
"ONIZUKA!" Everyone screamed. Happiest emotions from the students to the raging principal spilled forth. The surprised but ultimately forgiving director merely smiled at such an entry.
"WHO WAS THAT PERSON BEHIND HIM!"
Urumi and Azusa screamed in their minds as they looked on the spectacle the great teacher has started.
"It's… Nomura…"
"…THE CEREMONY JUST STARTED! GOOD! I WAS AFRAID I WOULD BE LATE!"
"YOU FOOL! I AM GOING TO CLAW AT YOU FOR DISGRACING THE IMAGE OF OUR ELITE SCHOOL!... AND YES YOU ARE LATE! I AM GOING TO HAVE YOU FIRED FINALLY IN FRONT OF EVERYONE WITH SUCH IMPRUDENT BEHAVIOR!"
"HEY! Let go of me! I got an excuse for being late!... SEE! Look at who I brought with me!"
…The emergence of Tomoko from the dust with her arms around her teacher shocks everyone in the auditorium.
"Oh my god! Is that student wrapping herself around YOU! I am finally going to get you now for sexual misconduct with a stud---!" Principal Uchiyamada spoke with such fury, that Eikichi took three steps back and stared blankly at the principal.
"That will be enough principal Uchiyamada; we will ask the student herself about this." Director Sakurai stepped in between the two and asked.
"Young lady, who are you and what were you doing with this teacher?"
"I am… Nomura Tomoko, senior high class 3-4 of Holy Forest Academy…" A very much dazed and surprised Tomoko replied. Not realizing her mistake that her arms are still around Onizuka even as he moved. Everyone knew her; they are either her fans from the shonen magazine weekly or her friends in the school. Watching her arms around a strong teacher-man's waist made everyone laugh, flustered, and some in jealousy.
"That damn idiot… of all people why did he bring her along!... If I had known this… arghh I shouldn't even think about this right now!"
A very jealous Urumi looks on. She should have seen this coming all along and have taken Tomoko's place, but she comes to conclude she wouldn't have.
"I wouldn't be able to do this… I am just not… SLOW enough?..."
"Oh yea… I wouldn't be able to really change for him… or change him for me… because that's the opposite attraction connection I loved about between me and him…"
Urumi finishes her thoughts, and joins in on the fun of what is happening now.
"Sensei… you are so very silly… But I really must insist of having you in my life permanently… without any interferences…"
Tomoko finally realized her… mistake. She blushes and turns her face downward away from the crowd. That made the uproar bigger, but it was soon calmed down with her being escorted to her appropriate class group and director Sakurai standing with a free microphone in her hand for the next announcement.
"(Ahem)… Now… First up and very important to our school, Onizuka Eikichi Sensei!..."
"DO-U-ZO-YO-RO-SHI-KU MI-NA-SAN! (I am pleased to meet everyone!)"
Cheers rose up from all the students with some grumbling from the staff. Not everyone supports him, but he always has the luck and stamina to get him out of anything… almost anything…
"Well, another grandeur entrance by him… and with a very popular female student on his back…"
Azusa, now alone with nurse Moritaka in her office dwells on what happened today. She was surprised today, but was more surprised at how attached a female student was to Onizuka. She was very jealous about the girl that was with Onizuka when he arrived.
"How can I be thinking that? He is still a virgin… according to him anyway…"
"…She is only a student… And Onizuka sensei has so many students that love him… he can't be having an affair with her! She's too young for him!"
"Hey, you there? Snap out of it…" Nurse Moritaka said as she slaps an ice pack on Azusa's forehead. "You fainted when he arrived and crashed… I never expected something like that to happen… at least from you."
"I think I need to tell him something… about how I feel" Azusa sits up and spoke in a serious tone. "I think I'm finally ready to tell him."
"Are you? I don't think he will ever understand how a woman thinks. He's too deep into those pornographies he watches that he can't have a normal conversation with a real woman... on a date anyway." In response to what Azusa said, Moritaka responded as a matter-of-factly. "You won't be alone too, I think he is quite a magnet to any woman, being a virgin and famous at the same time."
"Well, telling him about how I feel is the best way to communi---"
"Hold on a second… Are you a virgin as well?"
"Wha- Where did you get that from? I won't answer that question…" Azusa blushes profoundly. She is too shy, nervous, and even afraid to answer the question.
"Huh? Alright very well…(studies Azusa carefully) you seem to feel better now, do you want to go to your homeroom now? Moritaka asks. "Or go tell him how you feel(grins)?"
Blushing. Azusa ran out the door into the hallway, and she bumps into a man.
"I'm sorry I wasn't payin… ONIZUKA SENSEI?"
"Yo?" As coolly as possible with a look of ecstasy at the attention he is receiving, Eikichi looks down to see Azusa blushing redder than a red chili pepper.
"Will I tell him now?..."
