DISCLAIMER: I DON'T OWN KHR


Dear diary, things were finally back to normal.

Tsuna's sudden popularity didn't last long. After the volleyball match everything decidedly went back to normal. His fifteen minutes of fame were officially over, but no one dared mess with the boy after what had become of Mochida. It had been a while since the classroom was this peaceful. Michiko relished this moment knowing it wouldn't last long.

Today a new student transferred in.

She could hear the buzz of her classmates throughout the room. Girls were fawning over his "bad boy" appearance while the boys were freaking out over how dangerous he looked.

Gokudera Hayato. Permanent scowl all over his face. He looked like a jerk. Where exactly was the appeal?

As the teacher directed him to his seat, he ignored the instruction, instead choosing to stomp over in Tsuna's direction. She raised a brow, watching him harshly kick over Tsuna's desk.

Oh right there was none. Just your average delinquent bullying the weak. And of course Sawada just took it. What's new?


Nezu sensei began calling out names to hand back the science test. Upon hearing her name Michiko stood up, walking over to him. She didn't spare a glance at her paper, knowing she had gotten another 100 when he had commented his usual "Fantastic job, you'll go far in life." He smiled and put a hand on her shoulder, causing her to frown. She shrugged him off and walked back to her seat, trying to ignore his remark. He only used it as a segue to put down those who had done horrendously, that person usually being Tsuna.

Managed another 100 for this test. I studied hours so of course I did well. What I got that I didn't want was another remark from Nezu sensei. He always gave me the creeps. That hand on shoulder thing he was doing? Couldn't that be considered sexual harassment?

"Let's say there was a sole student lowering the average of the class." he began, staring down at Tsuna, repulse prominent in his voice.

She rolled her eyes knowing full well this was the beginning of his lecture.

The verbal abuse was another issue. I never slipped up, but if I ever did I know I'd never hear the end of it. What kind of adult goes around degrading children? As if that wasn't pathetic in itself. Not to mention his need to brag about his credentials. What a snob.

He flung around Tsuna's paper, flashing the score to everyone. They all chuckled while he continued with his degrading comments.

The door slid open and Gokudera walked in, glaring down Nezu sensei. Michiko couldn't help but smirk. That jerk deserved it. What happened next shocked everyone in the room. Gokudera loudly greeted Tsuna, dropping his characteristic scowl.

And it turns out everything was not back to normal. Sawada somehow befriended Gokudera. If you could even call it a friendship. The other boys were certain he was Gokudera's lackey. At least the failure was in better hands now.

Noticing Gokudera's connection with Tsuna, Nezu sensei deemed this as a weak point. However, that only further aggravated Gokudera, causing the boy to grab him by the collar. She had to stifle a chuckle at this point. Maybe Gokudera wasn't so bad after all.

After class the two teenagers were dragged to the principal's office and Nezu sensei decided it would be fitting to take Michiko there too. She had no idea why seeing as she was uninvolved in this whole thing. Had he seen her hold back a laugh when Gokudera threatened him?

"Sawada and company should be immediately expelled!" he shouted out.

She winced as his voice hit her ears. There was absolutely no way he had included her in this "Sawada and company" nonsense, so would he just get to the point? Was it because she was class representative? It was nonsensical for him to expect her to hold joint responsibility for every action of every student in the class.

"Even the top student in my class witnessed their barbaric actions. Isn't that right?" he asked, prodding her with his gaze.

She held back a grimace as he stared her down, pressuring her to side with him. She wanted to gag at the very discomforting expression he was throwing her way. Did she really have to answer? Tsuna's eyes darted over at her figure, deciding to speak up. "Is there anything we can do to avoid expulsion?"

Nezu sensei smirked. "As a matter of fact…"

Did the Sawada Tsunayoshi notice how uncomfortable she felt and deflect Nezu sensei's attention to himself instead? She blinked at him, confused. Since when did he have any balls?

Nezu sensei explained the task. Find a buried time capsule and bring it out. The three were then dismissed and Michiko headed straight for the doors. This was Tsuna and Gokudera's problem, not hers. As she turned to exit, she noticed Tsuna panicking.

She let out a heavy sigh. It would only be polite to ask what's wrong with him since he had helped her out of a sticky situation.

"What's wrong with you?" she spat out. She wasn't exactly known for being the friendliest. Tsuna, however, seemed unfazed by her aggressive demeanor.

"I don't want to be expelled." he responded, slightly pale.

Her arms crossed against her chest, as she shifted to lean on the wall. "You're not interested in schoolwork. Wouldn't it be more fun for you to stay at home anyway?" she scoffed.

"I-it would, but…" his voice trailed off.

He has something worth coming to school for? Wasn't he always bullied or made fun of? Michiko pondered what could be so great that even Tsuna would want to go to school for it.

The two began walking, heading towards the school's entrance. On the way, they passed by the teacher's lounge, ear's perking up at the sound of Nezu sensei's voice.

"The principal forgot there was no time capsule buried here 15 years ago. Those bastards will be expelled no matter what. And I'll find a way to get back at that class representative for making me look bad in front of the principal."

"That asshole." she muttered, seething with rage. He was aiming to punish her for something he decided to drag her into? "Sawada I'm gonna help you out."

"Wait really?" he asked, surprised. "What are we going to do though? There's no time cap-"

Tsuna's sentence was cut short at the sound of an explosion right outside the school. He was filled with despair as he heard each passing explosion. He slumped onto the floor, completely giving up. She glared down at him, ready to kick him up. This is why she hated the boy, always giving up so easily. Just as she swung her foot back, the infant from the other day appeared, wielding a gun. He shot Tsuna square in the forehead as she watched in shock.

Tsuna jumped up from the ground clad only in boxers and hopped out the window. Michiko rushed to the window, watching as he broke open the ground with only his fist. More explosions followed and and the two boys appeared out of the smoke. Nezu sensei ran to the scene only to be confronted by Gokudera. He pushed old test papers into the older man's face with a deadly look.

So I guess things were definitely not back to normal. Nezu sensei got fired for being a liar. Who would've thought he got worse grades than Sawada? And that failure? Maybe he wasn't so bad after all.
