A/N: Fifth chapter is up. I got this from somewhere but I don't know where.

Note: I realized that Kouichi is older than Kouji (weird)


Chapter 5

All because of a Sharpened Pencil

The day was long as all the students in 7th period waited for the bell to ring. There was an hour left on the clock and there was still a lot to do in Mr. I's class (lol him again).

"Ok class... settle down. Settle... settle down. Class.... settle down." Mr. I. was repeating himself like a broken record in a calm voice. He suddenly slapped his ruler on the table to get everyone's attention, and he did.

"Ok class... now that y'all are done with y'alls first assignment, I need to go to the teacher's lounge and get more copies of the rest of y'alls assignment."

The whole class groaned as he got up and left.

"Oh yes, and another thing. I don't want there to be any trouble. Understand?"

"Yes Mr. I!" the whole class chanted together as if they were programed to say that.

As soon as Mr. I. left the room, the whole class burst into uproar. Mr. I. quickly peeked his head back in the classroom only to find out that the classroom regained tranquility.

He closed the door again.

The whole class was behaving well for the most part, until Jimmy decided to move to someone elses seat to trade places with another kid named Ben. So far, so good. Here's when the fun began. As Jimmy sat down a girl named Francesca asked Jimmy for a pencil in Ben's desk, knowing that Ben carried a bunch and wasn't willing to share them for some reason.

"Say Jimmy, do you mind lending me one of Ben's pencils." Francesca asked.

"Won't he get mad?" Jimmy asked with a stupid look on his face.

"Of course not. He lets me borrow some all the time." she lied.

Meanwhile, Ben was watching what was going on as he growled out, "Don't let her borrow my stuff!"

Jimmy halted the pencil in midair to look over at Ben, but it was too late. Francesca took it right out of his hands.

"Thanks, Jimmy!" Francesca stressed as she stuck her tongue out at Ben.

"Rrrrrr..." Ben was glaring at Jimmy as if he had committed a felony.

"Stupid kids! Its just a pencil." Kouji grumbled under his breath after seeing the kids argue.

"Gees, its the end of the year and he still got us doing book work!" Takuya mumbled to Kouichi.

"I know." Kouichi replied after looking at Kouji. "I worry about him." Kouichi continued.

"Who? Kouji? Weren't you the one that said he's just acting normal?" Takuya kept asking.

"I know, but it I think its more than just a regular mood swing. I wish I knew what it could be." Kouichi was sounding worried

Takuya couldn't help but feel guilty at the fact he knew what was eating Kouji up inside.

"Takuya, do you know anything?" Kouichi questioned.

"Uhm...me, no." Takuya knew he wasn't such a good liar and the fact that he was giving it away by his body language.

"Are you sure?" Kouichi insisted.

Takuya wished he'd stop asking so many questions.

"Yeah, I'm sure!"

"Hmm..." Kouichi still didn't believe him.

Just before Kouichi was going to make him confess, a group of kids started yelling over something.

(0.0)

"Could you please sharpen this pencil, Jimmy?" Francesca asked with a cute persuasive voice.

"Uhm, sure?" Jimmy grabbed the pencil and started heading to the pencil sharpener... before he was stopped by Ben.

"HOLD IT, JIMMY!" he warned.

Jimmy looked with a startled look on his face.

"Don't you dare sharpen that pencil!" Ben demanded. "If you do..." he looked around for something, "I'll rip up Francesca's magazine!" he grabbed Franseca's beauty magazine off of her desk and held it hostage.

"Hey you can't do that!" Francesca cried. "In fact if you do that then I'll..." she ran over to his desk and grabbed a comic book he held dearly, "I'll rip this piece of crap in half!"

"NO! Not my limited edition copy of 'Zombie Hunters'! Put it down!" Ben demanded.

"Not until you give me my beauty magazine!"

"Never!"

"Hey" another girl in the classroom yelled, " I gave her that magazine, and if you don't give it back..." she too looked for something that she could hold hostage, "I'm going to rip this knitted cloth into shreds." she mistook it as Ben's knitted cloth.

"Hey, that's mine and I need it for my project!" another student named Sam pleaded. "Give it to me before I smash this clay pot to smithereens!"

Again, another kid jumped up in protest, " That's my clay pot and I need it for art class!"

This went on until it got to Kouichi. Someone threatened to throw his favorite gumball he was working on since the beginning of the year out the window.

"Hey that's my favorite gumball I've been working on since the beginning of the year!" Kouichi pleaded. "If I don't get my gumball back in my hands in one piece.... I'm going to eat all of Takuya's Dorito Chips!"

Takuya looked at him as if he lost his mind. Those where his favorite chips and no one was allowed to take or eat it without his consent.

"What do you think your doing? Those are my chips!" Takuya reached for the nearest thing he could find. "I'm going to rip the pages our of this Twilight book if you don't give me my chips!" he threatened.

Now it was Kouji's turn to join the crowd.

"Hey! I gave Kouichi that book, and if you don't put it back," he narrowed his eyes as he stared at everyone in the classroom with glaring eyes, "I'm going to turn this classroom UPSIDE DOWN! MARK MY WORDS!"

Now everything was lying on Jimmy's poor little shoulders. The fate of the classroom depended on Jimmy's next actions. Everyone watched as he began to sharpen the pencil as if he was stupid. He kept sharpening it, looking at it, examining it, and then resharpening it again.

This went on for a few seconds until Ben cut in.

"If you sharpen that pencil anymore, I will make sure Francesca doesn't see this magazine in one piece." he threatened finally, but it was too late. Jimmy turned the pencil only to reveal what was left of it, an eraser.

Ben got mad but not mad enough to rip the magazine. Instead, the kid with the book hanging over the pot accidentally dropped it, and chaos ensued the whole room.

(0 )

People were ripping pages out of books while one kid cried, "SAVE THE TREES!"

Others were ripping those papers and crumbling them into paper balls to throwing at each other.

"PAPER BALL FIGHT!" one kid yelled and the whole class went at it.

The girls with the beauty magazine gathered around the ripped pages, and started crying.

The kid with the shattered clay pot yelled at the top of his lungs, "Madness, MADNESS! THIS IS MADNESS!"

"NO, this isn't madness! This is..." another kids paused to figure out what to say, " HISTORY CLASS!"

(Lol get it? 300? Movie? Never mind.)

While people were running around the classroom like lunatics, Zoe and a few other girls hid under the desk for protection. In the meantime, Kouichi was busy munching down Takuya's Doritos like a Doritos-eating maching.

"That's it!" Takuya began to repetitively ripped each page to the Twilight book in his hands like a wild-ripping-book-page machine.

"I LOVED THAT BOOK!" Kouji shouted as he ran over to him to tackle him.

"SAVE THE TREES! WHAT DID THEY EVER DO TO YOU!?" a Eco-friendly kid said.

"TREE HUGGER!" another kid shouted as he threw multiple paper balls at him.

While the chaos wasn't ceasing, Zoe realized she forgot her purse on top of her desk.

"My purse! I need to get my purse!" She quickly jumped out from under the desk to get it only to be startled by Takuya when he fell on top off her desk with a dazed look on his face.

"What time is it mom?" he asked. She could tell he was out of it as she pushed him off away from her desk. Kouji had really tackled him hard.

Meanwhile, Mr. I. Was approaching the door to his room only to see everyone acting like a bunch of monkeys through the door window. He began to boil up on the inside as he barged the door open. At the same time Kouichi dug into his desk to find something to throw. He found an old smelly tuna sandwich he never ate since he first got it at the beginning of the year. He hurled it with all his might in the air as it landed on the door window Mr. I. was looking through. Mr. I. quickly opened the door and stood in the doorway with a grim look on his face. He was very upset.

(-_-)

"I leave for five minutes and what happens? All of y'all decide to go berserk! What has gotten into y'all?" Mr. I asked rhetorically.

Ben raised his hand to answer but Mr. I. ignored him.

"You all will spend the rest of the day cleaning this place up. PRONTO! PERIOD! END OF STORY!"

Ben started to talk and explain what happened.

"But Mr. I., Jimmy..."

"I said PERIOD! Not buts, no commas, no question marks..."

"How 'bout a exclamation mark?" Ben added.

"That was a question mark." Mr. I. turned his head sternly. Ben shat up, quickly.

Mr. I. opened a cabinet full of cleaning stuff and let them get to work. He looked at the rotten tuna sandwich on the door and looked back at Kouichi, who was smiling sheepishly.

And to think this all happened all because of a sharpened pencil.

(~_~)

"It's all your fault!" Takuya jabbed Kouji in the side.

"Me?" Kouji reconsidered, " It was you and Kouichi."

"No, it was Ben and Jimmy over there." Kouichi corrected after ease dropping on their conversation.

"You all are stupid!" Zoe whispered harshly as she crawled by with a scrubbing brush in her hand.

The whole class was finished cleaning while Mr. I. was seated in his seat watching everyone with disappointed looks. He kept shaking his head at everyone.

As they all got back in their seats, Mr. I. began to speak his mind.

"You know, I never thought that this class would ever behave the way it did (you should see them more often when your not looking). I've taught this class for two years and y'all have never acted this way before. What has gotten into y'all?" Mr. I started sounding more concerned than he ever had before.

"I guess its just the end of the year and we all are getting anxious." Kouichi pointed out. "I guess some of us just don't know how to handle it." Kouichi switched glances over to Kouji whom he was worried about.

Takuya couldn't help but glance over at Zoe as well at the same time. She didn't look to happy herself. It was as if she had something on her mind that she wanted to say.

(-.-)

After Mr. I. was talking with the class over their behavior, he started talking about the end of the year and his best intentions for everyone, for this was his last time teaching this class for two years.

"This is some class, I must admit. I just wish you all a good summer and a good future." Mr. I's eyes were misty, but no one could tell from their perspective.

"So I guess you love us as a class, don't you?" Kouichi asked in a teasing manner.

"Now I didn't say that. Don't you put words in my mouth, Mr. Kimura." the teacher teased back.

"Oh come on, Mr I! You've had us for two years. How can you not love us?" it was Takuya's turn to joke with the teacher.

"Nope. I'm not going to say that. Not a peep out of me." even though Mr. I was really good at hiding his emotions, he was really getting emotional on the inside.

Diiiiing Doooong Diiiiing Dooooong Diiiing Dooooong Diiiiiiiiing Dooooooong!!!

That was the school bell as it rang.

All the kids got up to leave the class, but paused as they sat back down, waiting for the teacher to dismiss them.

"Looks like y'all finally learned." Mr. I. dismissed them, finally.

The whole class left with laughter and tears as they said there good byes to one another and to Mr. I.

"I'll catch up with you guys later." Takuya told Kouichi as he left the door. Takuya stood behind to ask his teacher one very important question.

"You know Mr. I. You never told us what the 'I' in Mr. I stood for. What is it?"

Mr. I gave him a questionably stern look.

"That... is for me to know and for you to find out." Mr. I. teased as he walked behind his desk.

Takuya chuckled. He never ever, through out the whole year, heard him ever crack a joke... until now.

"You're one cool teacher, Mr. I." Takuya complimented as he walked out the door. That was the straw that broke the camels back but in a good way.

Mr. I. was flattered. He raised his head to look at all the empty seats in front of him. He never really payed attention to them nor the students that occupied them this whole year. Deep down he realized he had the best class he had ever had, and he never admitted it.

"You were the best class I'd ever had. I love you all and I'll never forget y'all. Class dismissed." Mr. I. said to a bunch of empty desk. He guessed that admitting his true thoughts would relieve the regret he held inside. He started packing to get ready for the summer.

(-_-)

Little did Mr. I. know, while he was snapping his briefcase closed, Takuya, Kouichi, Kouji, and Zoe were outside listening to his little speech, just around the corner of the door.

"I knew it!" Takuya shouted.

"Ssssssh!" the rest of the guys shunned him, for he was too loud.

"Who's there?" Mr. I. asked while he approached the door.

The kids ran down the hall, faster than they had ever did in their whole lives... except that time the neighbors dog nearly bit their heads off.

"Ladies first!" Zoe reminded them as she went out the doors first.

Kouji and Kouichi went next, but held the door shut for Takuya so he couldn't open it.

"OH C'MON GUYS! THIS ISN'T FUNNY!" Takuya shouted and banged the door, until they finally opened it.

They continued to run to their houses to get ready for the afternoon.

They had a party to go to!

(Meanwhile Bobby was walking down the school hallway playing his guitar playing his same ol' "Dust in the Winds")

Bobby: "Where'd everybody go?"


A/N: Lol, I hoped you enjoyed this chapter. Like I said, I got it from somewhere. (I keep falling behind on updates. Actually I had the chapter almost done but didn't finish it.) Anyways the next chapter is what y'all been waiting for... the party begins! As for Mr. I., I never thought the guy was human, lol.
