Chapter 2 Am I Free to Leave Yet?

"So this is the student dorms, we keeps the age levels mostly to themselves, but there are a few older, more responsible, students living among them to make sure that there is always someone looking out for the younger ones," Dino explained cheerfully, the headmaster nodding genially next to him.

"U-Um, that's great and all, but may I go now?" I question again.

"Of course you are free to leave whenever you wish, but at least let us show you around," the headmaster said pleasantly.

"Yeah," Dino jumped in. "Just in case you decide to stay, we should at least show you this much!"

I was going to cry, I really was. This was the third time I had asked them this question. Three words spelled out my entire situation as of now.

I. Was. Doomed.

"Anyways, your housing will be on the bottom level of the fourth building, the one in the middle there. Hope you don't mind," Dino continued.

I sigh hopelessly. "Goodbye dreams. Goodbye future. Goodbye life as I knew it," I list off pitifully tearing up pieces of paper with those elegantly scrawled words and tossing them to the breeze.

The blond boy laughed. "You're a funny one. I'll bet you'll be a lot of fun to have around."

I whimper as another explosion somewhere on campus went off. "I'd like to go please."

"Is it the kids that you're afraid of?" Dino asked. "'Cause, it's really only the older ones you have to watch out for."

"Get back here baseball idiot!" A silver haired kid yelled, throwing dynamite at the other he was chasing.

"Ha ha! Those firecrackers are as fun as always!" The raven haired kid slashed the fuses as he ran past.

Dino sweat dropped and laughed nervously. "Well, what I meant to say was that there are only a couple-"

"I will bite you to death, stupid pineapple."

"Kufufu, go ahead and try little birdie."

Cling! Clang! Slice! Swish! Bam!

"I mean, a few kids like that," Dino finished after the next pair had passed.

"Oh my head. My head is broken," I moan, a hand over my temple. It seems that children weren't all as sweet and innocent as I had hoped.

"Who's the new kid?"

I look up to see a face inches from my own. "Eeeek!" The next second I locate myself behind the blond boy to use as a shield.

The distinct sound of a hand colliding with a hard head reached my ears and I look around to see that some blue haired lady had slapped the backside of the person who intruded upon my personal bubble.

"Hi Lal! Hi Colonello!" Dino waved.

The woman nodded in acknowledgment before turning back to the other blond. "You ran away from training for this!"

"What? I was curious, kora!" The blond argued with a smile, his hands folded behind his head.

"Well you're impatience and curiosity just earned you another 50 laps. Now get going!" The woman took out longer gun (of a name I would never know or remember) and fired repeatedly.

I stare dumbfounded at their retreating backs, before placing a hand on my temple once more. "Oh it hurts. My poor brain, it hurts."

The kid smiled obliviously. "Those two are teachers here, you'll meet the rest of them at the welcome dinner later."

"No, please, I beg you," I say weakly. "I just want to leave. I'm really not the person for this job."

"Well, I have more work I should really attend to. Perhaps you should ask Reborn to show her the rest?" The headmaster directed toward Dino, smiling and turning to me one last time after he received confirmation. "My name is Timoteo. Please feel free to call upon me at any time should you need assistance or have any questions."

"W-wait!" I call after the quickly retreating back (dang that old man could book it), "I just want…to…leave…aaand he's gone. Great."

Dino chuckled and pointed toward the direction we had been going before the interruptions. "Well, we should probably go find Reborn."

"You called?"

Paddles? Ready? Clear!

"How do these people show up out of nowhere!" I shriek.

"Jeez Reborn, give us a little warning next time," the boy chastised.

The raven haired man with strange curly sideburns and a fedora smirked in response, pointing a gun at the kid's head. "What was that idiot student?"

"I'm gonna die~!" I sob into my hands, crouching into a ball.

"So this is the new teacher Nono chose?" Sideburns asked the kid.

"Yup!"

"No, no, no!" I stand up and grab the kid by his collar, smiling brightly. Some of my friends said I sparkled when I was like that, but I don't believe them (People don't sparkle, only cheesy vampires). "Listen here, I came for an interview and chose not to apply. Now please show me the exit so that I may leave with what little sanity I have left intact. Then everyone will be happy, right?" I tilt my head to the side to finish emphasizing my point.

"A-aaah. Um. Well. You see…" The boy trailed off, seeming unable to answer.

Sideburns chuckled again. "You aren't going anywhere. Every teacher here is hand-picked by the headmaster and he doesn't want anyone else."

"Ah. I see. Well then." I drop the kid and pull out my cell phone, waiting expressionlessly for the line to be picked up. And when it was, "GET ME THE HELL OUT OF HERE!"

"I'm sorry. The number you have reached has currently gone deaf. Please call back later after I have my hearing checked out." The person hung up.

I felt a vein pop and redialed. "YOU ASSHOLE, I'LL GUT YOU ALIVE IF YOU DO THAT AGAIN! HOW DARE YOU SEND ME TO THIS SUICIDAL JOB INTERVIEW! WHEN I SEE YOU I'M GONNA MAKE YOU WISH YOU WERE NEVER BORN A GUY AND THEN PROMPTLY FIX THAT PROBLEM FOR YOU!"

Sideburns grimaced the slightest bit and Dino outright shivered and backed away a couple steps.

I sucked in a huge breath through my nose and exhaled, feeling slightly calmer than before. "Now, I want you to fix the problem you caused and I want you to fix it now. Are we clear?"

"T-Transparently," the male on the other end stuttered slightly.

I smiled again. "Thank you!"

I half skip back toward the entrance, ignoring the other two males, happy about the prospective of leaving this crazy place soon. A few minutes later, my phone rings again and I pick up with a smile. "This is (f/n) speaking!"

"So…" My friend trailed off suspiciously. "Do you want the good news or the bad news first?"

"Why don't you surprise me," I reply evenly.

"Right…well… Mr. Timoteo says that he would like to keep you onboard with his staff and has offered a large sum of money to the C.E.O. of the company sponsoring your program to let you stay."

My eyebrow was twitching dangerously, even as my smiled remained in place. "And the good news?"

"…That…was…the…good news…"

Turn up to thousand-exawatt smile (because kilowatt was not enough), powerful enough to cut across land and time (meaning the phone line). "So the other half is?..."

"Mr. Timoteo has called your parents to inform them that you'll be extending your stay, but they're free to visit you whenever they wish and it will be an all-expenses paid vacation every single time…Um…Hello?..."

A resounding shriek was heard all over the globe, baffling scientists of every field as well as creating a minor panic through the public.

I sigh as I bash my forehead against the ridiculously high stone wall. Only I would have horrible enough luck to end up in this situation. It was really like all the elements of Murphy's Law was ganging up on me with Lady Luck and Karma, and then laughing at the show they created called my life.

Siiiiigh~.

"There now, it's not that bad," Dino comforted with an arm over my shoulders. "You should think of this as a great learning experience!"

Purple goop flew past and melted a statue into a misshapen lump of metal and rock.

I wailed into my palms.

What a horrible way to die.
