Sorry for the late update everyone. My computer crashed and it finally has gotten fixed.
In class, Haruna, Rika, and the rest of their classmates are waiting for their English teacher Mr. Tanaka to arrive. Haruna and Rika are sitting in the back of the room chatting aimlessly.
"I'm telling you, my dream felt REAL"
"You're still on that Haruna?! Why are you letting this dream bother you so much?", sighing as Rika asks
" I dunno, it just felt different from all my other dreams. And when I was about to get stabbed I----"
"Good morning class, glad you're all looking up and ready for school today", Mr. Tanaka cuts in before she can even finish her sentence.
All the students are heading back to their seats and getting all their utencils out, ready to start on the day. Rika turns around and lets Haruna know they'll talk about her dream later. She sees her teacher go to his desk as he starts to get ready for roll call. Haruna just stares out the window, looking at nothing in particular but just stares out in space. Off in the distance she can hear Mr. Tanaka calling off names and a few yelling "hear" or "hey".
"Miss. Suzuki?"
"hear" Haruna says not even bothering to look up
As Haruna is glancing up at him while he's getting up from his desk, Mr. Tanaka walks into the front of the room and clears his throat, letting all attention focus on him at the moment.
"I'm not going to be doing a lesson today", saying this, students start to cheer in excitement, praising the gods for such a miracle
"like I was saying, there is no lesson today because I have been thinking that maybe I should let you students be a little bit more productive. I'm giving all you one month to give me a research paper on anything to do with literature. It could be on authors, books, poems, anything you want it to be, but make sure it has to do with LITERATURE".
There's silence in the room and everyone is speechless. Haruna just rolls her eyes, she knows this is going to be too easy.
"Oh yes one more thing, i'm allowing to let you all think about and get a few ideas on what your topic is going to be about for the rest of the period. BE QUIET while you're do so", he says making sure his students understand.
Haruna finds herself thinking about what her topic should be. She looks up and sees Rika staring her with a gloomy look on her face
"what's wrong?" Haruna asks
"ughhh I can't believe we have to do this?! why could'nt Mr. Tanaka just give us a homework packet or something?! Whatever, I just want to get this research paper done and over with. Wanna go to town and hit the library? We should go check out some books on our topic before anybody else checks them out." Rika says while loooking at clock.
"sure I'm down for that. Let's meet at the main gate after school k?" Haruna says packing up her things into her bag.
The bell rings and students start to leave their first period class. They leave Mr. Tanaka's class and stand in front of his door before they both part ways.
"Don't forget to meet me after school ok?" Rika says seriously to Haruna
"i won't, i promise" Haruna says, waving at her bestfriend while she walks away to get to her next class.
