Timeskip (One week)

Well, I think Earth is safe for now. Mizuki thought as she entered the classroom. Most of the students were already in the room; she could only recognize a few faces, though. She was never good with names and faces. Blue hair is Nagisa (he's got to do something about that ponytail because it does not work for him at all), bangs boy is Ryunosuke-san, big guy is Teresaka, creepy girl near him is Kiara, and the buddies at the front are Maehara and Isogai. Yikes. A week and I only know six out of the twenty six other students…

It was only as she sat down that she noticed something off. Her usually punctual teacher, Yukimura-sensei wasn't there. Even after the bell rang, she still had yet to show up. The students started getting restless. Thirty minutes into first period, a man opened the door.

He walked to the front of the class and quickly swept the room, looking down at them with his eyes before opening his mouth, "Your teacher, Aguri Yukimura-sensei, will no longer be coming to class. She was interning at her fiance's research lab when it exploded, killing her along with many others; the details are classified so don't bother asking me questions. Also, the school is currently looking for a replacement teacher, but for now, you will all continue showing up to school and doing self study. Use this time wisely. Afterall, you Class E need all the studying you can get. Now, I'm leaving, I don't want to deal with trash like you."

Chuckling to himself, he left the room leaving the room in shock at the news. Tense silence filled the room; one whisper, then, the dam broke and the room was filled with overlapping voices.

"Are you kidding me? No way I'm showing up for self-study; I'm out of here." Hmmm there goes Terasaka and his dummy crew.

"What do you think caused it?"

"I feel so bad for Yukimura-sensei. She didn't deserve that."

Mizuki sighed. She, too, didn't think that Yukimura-sensei deserved to die. Based on her limited interactions with the woman, she was kind, hard working, and really did want her students to succeed; however, death was a part of life. It was inevitable as much as it is unfortunate. If someone as good as her own mother couldn't be spared, no one else could be either.

POV Switch (Ryunosuke Chiba)

Like the other students, he was shocked by the news of their teacher. Instead of joining the whispers, he sat and observed. No tears were shed, though Hinano-san with her bleeding heart seemed close to tears. Subtly turning his head, he glanced at Hiyashi through the corner of his eye. When he first saw her in Class E's classroom, he was shocked. He was under the impression that she was the top student in Class A, the highest class. The loss of her voice was a shock to him, but also quite suspicious. He was unable to ask her about it, however, as she simply greeted everyone, including him, with a slight nod then proceeded to ignore everything around her and read her latest book.

He did not think she was mute; afterall, it was less than three months ago that she had spoken to him. Getting up, he walked over to her uncrowded desk (most of the other students realized she wouldn't interact with them and thought it was because she was still elitist from being in Class A but he knew better).

"Hiyashi-san" he greeted.

The blank look in her eyes cleared as she looked up at him and gave a slight nod and half smile in greeting. It was more than most of the other students got, but it was not enough for him.

"Sad, what happened to Yukimura-sensei, huh?"

Another nod.

Frustrated, he continued to try to make conversation, "It's ridiculous they still want us to come without anyone here to keep track."

Another nod.

"Okay, stop it."

A quizzical look this time.

"I don't buy that you lost your voice. What happened to you?"

A cold look accompanied by a shrug. She bent down to her bag, dug out a book, and started reading.

Sighing, Chiba walked back to his seat. Tiaga Okajima, who had seen part of the exchange, turned around to face him. "Why do you try so hard to talk to her? She's an elitist from the main building who doesn't think she belongs here. Just ignore her. She'll figure out what it means to be on the bottom."

"She isn't elitist though. She was the one who saved me from the elitist Class A kids, and I definitely don't buy that she's mute." Chiba said, biting his thumb.

Okuda joined the conversation, "Well, if she really isn't mute, then being silent for so long is impressive."

The two boys sweatdropped a bit. "I'm surprised you think so Manami-san. You don't speak much, afterall." Okajima said, amused.

"Ah- yeah. I bad with communicating my thoughts, but I still speak occasionally."

As the conversation derailed, Chiba glanced back at Hiyashi again. I will find out what happened to the true girl from Class A.


A/N: Okay short chapter here. Also brief explaination because I feel like I didn't explain it properly earlier. Mizuki is afraid of getting close to people now because she believes Asano was just using her to control the school so she doesn't want to open up to people; however, she is also a nice (ish) person so when she talks to people she ends up opening up to them anyway and befriends them so she decided to pretend to be mute to prevent that (which is stupid but hey that's what character development is for). Also Chiba is smarter than he looks and totally does not buy the whole mute thing so he's going to bug her until she breaks because he feels both indebted to Mizuki and wants to be her friend (and maybe more I don't know yet). Also Yukimura died the same way she did in the manga and anime. If anything else doesn't make sense about this story just leave a review or PM me and I'll try to explain it in the next chapter which I'm going to try and make longer. Okay byeeee~
