I haven't updated in a while. XD School is tiring ;; Anyways, I present to you Chapter 8 which pretty much starts the whole plot... supposedly XD I want this to have dramatic effects, but I can't do it like that ;; oh well
Chapter 8 - Nadumi-chenchei
As Hotaru's Swan Scooter landed in front of Narumi, he quickly looked away and ran for it, but Mikan caught his hand and held it tight.
"Narumi-sensei!"
"Mikan... I already told you..."
"But what about Class B??" Narumi took off his earrings and put them in his pocket.
"Mikan... Please, all of you too, Sumire, Yuu, and Hotaru... Go back to your classes now..." He used his pheromones to command the four to go back and let him leave.
They shouldn't see me leave.
Without Mikan's consent, her Nullification Alice forced itself to nullify the effect of his pheromones, but it just made the four stay where they were, as Narumi ran away.
I entered the taxi cab of the academy and watched my bags being placed at the back of the car. I fixed my hair, combing my fingers through my golden waves... My distracting hair. If I were to start living outside, I should change my hairstyle. Maybe even hair color. Because of the missions I used to do for the academy, certain people might recognize me. I can pick from... Hmmm... Black would be very interesting... Red would be too distracting... Brown might not suit me... But it depends on the kind of brown.
At that point he remembered about Mikan and Yuka. Both of them who had that coffee brown hair.
Then suddenly Narumi wondered... what if Yuka made Narumi fall in love with him again? Maybe he would be lured to join the Z organization. Or maybe Yuka would quit being against the academy. So many facts about the outsides of the academy led him to different thoughts and points of view.
What if there were spies in the academy and an Anti-Alice Organization is already waiting at a certain spot to kill me or recruit me? What if without my guidance, Mikan and the whole Class B suddenly agrees with the Z organization and destroys the academy? What if Mikan goes through the same torture Yuka did?
"Narumi-san, we've arrived at the train station." The taxi driver said aloud as Narumi stopped thinking. Time was so fast, that thinking itself could've been both a time-waster and something useful to do.
"Thanks for the ride." Narumi wore a blank face. His smile, for some reason, only appeared when he wasn't alone, and when he was with the people he cared for. The taxi driver blushed at his words and looked away.
Oh how I'll miss being called sensei by the academy.
Realizing he forgot to wear his restraining earrings, he groped for them in his pocket and wore them. A guard opened the taxi door for him, and Narumi carried his belongings, along with his emotional baggage.
After the four regained consciousness and went back to their classroom, Mikan explained what she could, and the class demanded Misaki-sensei for an explanation.
"Listen, no else made him resign except for the principal. Narumi was told about this just yesterday, and he obeyed the principal by leaving the academy." Mikan tried to explain.
"Does that mean... he's leaving us?" Anna stood up.
"He's not going to be a teacher at the Alice Academy anymore?" Nonoko asked.
"...Yes. But I'm sure he will visit when he can." Misaki tried his best to rephrase that sentence. He couldn't say 'I'm sure he will visit when he's allowed to', because the class will think of things they shouldn't know .
Anna started to cry, as the others started to talk to each other in low voices. Mikan looked down and held out the bookmark Narumi left beside her in his bed.
Narumi was in the train, looking out the window. He was pretty much bored, but for safety, he took a look at the passengers in case one of them was a spy. He looked at the person on the seat to the left of his. A young woman with a baby, not suspicious. Behind him. Two elderly who seem to be able to move around by theirselves, not suspicious. In front of him. A short-haired woman who was occupied in using her cellphone, not suspicious.
What's the use? A spy from an Anti-Alice Organization can't look suspicious at all.
He combed through his hair with his fingers as he usually did when he had nothing to do. He was confident about his looks, yet too pretty one can seriously mistake him as a transvestite.
I should do this before I change my hairdo. And I'm taking that hair color idea seriously. I guess I'll deal with black, pony-tailed hair.
The breezy morning turned into a humid afternoon as Narumi fell asleep.
"Serina-sensei, were you able to tell Class A?" Misaki approached her in the staff room. He was usually disturbed by Narumi at that time of day, but now he's gone, he got influenced and got more prone to disturb other people.
"Yes, it was sad, really. Everyone cried because Class A really liked Naru-sensei." Serina recalled the scene that happened earlier in the morning.
"Good morning, Class A!"
"Good morning, Serina-sensei!"
"...Class, I have some bad news for all of you..."
The class kept quiet and eagerly waited for the bad news, thinking it was related to not having classes or an unavailable teacher for class.
"Just yesterday, Narumi-sensei was asked to resign, and he left Alice Academy today."
Silence.
"Na...dumi...chenchei?!" One kindergarten girl cried.
"He's not coming back?"
All their expressions were pretty much the same.
They pouted, then tears flew down their chubby cheeks. They were madly crying. A lot of shouts with the word "Why?" filled the room. Their favorite teacher, "Nadumi-chenchei", was gone. Serina wasn't even sure if they actually understood what it meant for a teacher to resign. The only thing that probably came to their minds was that he's not coming back.
Serina examined the faces of the students. They were crying as if their parents died or something. Some of them were hicupping from their cries, but most of them made loud noises while crying.
"Selina-shenshei!!" A small group of students ran to Serina and hugged her while crying. More of the students followed until the whole class was in front, crying their hearts out. Narumi must've been the type to give Class A a lot of love. At least Class A felt greatly loved by him.
Serina's heart felt heavy. She too silently cried with the students.
"Why did he have to leave...?"
Narumi's train arrived at the destination. He carried his baggage and waited for more passengers to go out. After around 10 left the train, he followed and walked to the exit.
After this, what do I do?
As he walked out of the train, he sought for no assistance and continue walking to a familiar place he's seen and gone to before.
As of finished-typing-yay time, there was no internet TT.TT The telephone line was stoled in UP, so no internet TT.TT It's sad, I know. I feel like the kinder students there XDD Joke ;p
