Chapter 3
First day...Funk??
Aino Minako and Kinou Makoto were already inside the classroom waiting for the others to come when the three lights entered the room with their hair messed up and their uniforms distorted.
"Yaten, Taiki, Seiya! Alright we're classmates again!" Minako screamed.
Yaten leaned closer to Taiki and whispered,
"Oh man, are we really in the same class with that girl again??"
"Looks like it, better deal with it Yaten." Taiki replied with a chuckle.
"Pfft. I know you missed her Yaten so don't deny it anymore man!" Seiya added as he softly elbowed Yaten on the ribs.
"Urusai Seiya-teme!" ("Shut up Seiya, you bastard!"(1)) Yaten exclaimed.
"Come on Yaten. Why don't you just admit that you've got a huge-ass crush on Mina-chan?" Seiya teased.
"I said shut the fuck up Seiya." Yaten replied.
Seiya continued laughing as he found a desk on the second row beside the window.
Makoto stepped up and asked,
"What happened to you guys? It's like you've been ran over by a herd of hippos."
"We passed by the first year corridors and, well, things got out of hand." Taiki replied as he sat on a desk in the third row.
"Well that's a mistake." Makoto commented.
"That was not a mistake Kinou, that was stupidity! I already warned the guys not to pass through the first year corridor but did they listen? Noooooo...and now look at us! Sheez I swear those freshmen could've eaten us alive if they wanted to!" Yaten suddenly exclaimed.
The gang laughed as Yaten made funny youkai(2) sounds, they were a bit surprised at Yaten because he was never this crazy before. Yaten stopped his antics when a voice called out his name and said,
"Exaggeration was never a good thing and acting has never been your talent either, you should stick to singing. What has gotten into you anyway Yaten-san?"
They all turned to the front door of the room and saw Mizuno Ami with Hino Rei standing by her side.
"Rei what are you doing here?! And why are you wearing our school's uniform??" Seiya asked.
"I talked with grandpa and he told me that I can transfer here in Juuban High, so, well here I am!" Rei replied with a smile.
"Welcome to Juuban High then Hino Rei." Taiki said.
"Thanks." Rei replied with a slight blush on her cheeks as she found a desk in the first row infront of Seiya.
Ami placed her things on a desk beside Taiki and added,
"That's not all, I heard we have a new class adviser, a new Arts teacher and a new physics teacher as well."
"What is wrong with the world today? Yaten goes crazy and Ami with the hottest gossip!" Minako exclaimed.
Everybody laughed at Yaten and Ami sweat dropped.
"Anyway, do you know who they are Ami?" Makoto asked.
"I have no idea. Only thing I know is our class adviser will be our Arts teacher as well and that she's a, well a 'she' and our Physics teacher is a 'he'. " Ami replied.
"I bet she's a mean old hag with long gray hair tied in a bun and wrinkles all over her face." Yaten said. They all laughed when all of a sudden the doors slid open and a young woman, probably in her early 20's, wearing a black blouse on top of a khaki pants entered the room and said,
"Exaggeration was never a good thing Mr. Yaten Kou, and incase you're still looking for a mean old hag for a teacher then you are most welcome to transfer to sections B,D,F,H,or J where in Mrs. Yeshakura is."
They all turned to their new teacher only to see Meioh Setsuna standing with a few books in her hand when the school bell suddenly rang.
"Okay everybody find your seats and settle down." Setsuna ordered.
"Psst Minako! Where's Usagi?" Rei asked
Minako looked at Rei and just smiled.
"Come on don't tell me you didn't wake her up! She'll be late again; it's the first day of school for crying out loud!" Rei asked again.
Minako just made a face as she sat on the desk beside Rei and Yaten sat behind Seiya. Makoto was about to take a sit beside Seiya when Setsuna called her attention.
"Ms. Kinou, if it's okay with you, I want you to sit beside Ms. Aino." Setsuna said as Makoto followed. After a few minutes she ordered the class to settle down as she continued, "I am Ms. Meioh Setsuna but you can call me Ms. Setsuna if you want to. I am your new class adviser and your new Arts teacher as well. I am still a student like yourselves and this is my part time job. I'm lucky to have been given this opportunity to be here. Later this afternoon, after your lunch break you will meet your new Physics teacher, Mr. Chiiba Mamoru."
'Oh great, now Mamoru's my teacher.' Seiya thought to himself.
After a few more reminders, Setsuna was about to start her roll call when they heard somebody knocking, the class monitor opened the door and saw their principal. Setsuna smiled, faced the class and said,
"Your ner classmate has finally arrived."
Usagi entered the class with Haruko trailing behind her.
"Ohayou minna-san ("Goodmorning everyone"). This is our new classmate." Usagi started as Haruko wrote her own name on the black board.
Then Haruko faced the class, bowed in respect, smiled and said,
"Goodmorning. Watashiwa namae Haruko, Tenou Haruko." ("Goodmorning. My name is Haruko, Tenou Haruko.")
"Haruka?? What the hell are you doing here? And what are you doing in a girl's uniform? I never imagined you swung that way!" Seiya suddenly blurted out as he jumped out from his desk.
Usagi blinked in shock, Setsuna stifled a laugh and Minako started a giggling fit. Haruko was also surprised but she just smiled and said,
"Gomene(3), demou, I'm not Haruka, that would be my aniki(4) and no, my brother does not swing that way."
A big sweat drop appeared on Seiya's head as he turned into chibi form saying,
"Go-go-gomenasai!(5)."
The whole class started laughing.
"Okay class; settle down, that would be enough. Ms Tenou, Ms. Tsukino please take your seats." Setsuna said after a few minutes.
Haruko took the desk beside Seiya and Usagi sat beside her.
That afternoon when the bell finally rang for lunch, the girls, together with the three lights, headed to the big old tree near the quadrangle to eat.
"So Haruka's your brother huh?" Rei asked as she brought out her bento.
"Hai! The one and only." Haruko replied with a big smile across her pretty face.
"You really do look alike; it'll be hard to tell you apart. You sure you're not twins?" Seiya asked.
"Nope he was born a year before me and besides I'm a foot shorter than he is so it would be really very easy to tell which one is which." Haruko replied with a giggle.
"So which club are you planning to sign up for? I mean it's the first day of school and it's the start of registrations for any school org." Makoto asked.
"Hmm..I dunno yet, but I think I'd like to try the volleyball team, the school paper and the literature club. Oh and the drama guild too, if I still have enough time. How 'bout you guys?" Haruko replied as she took a bite off of her onigiri(6), which Michiru made for her that morning.
"I'm in the culinary arts club. Minako's the Volleyball team's captain and Ami's the computer club's president and a member of Literature club." Makoto replied.
"Get out! Really? Oh cool, but what about you guys?" Haruko asked, obviously referring to Rei, Usagi and the three lights.
"I'll be joining the sprint team" Rei answered.
"Hey that'll be cool." Haruko replied as she shifted her attention to the three lights.
Taiki cleared his throat and replied.
"I'm in the Literature club too with Ami. Seiya's with the American Football team and Yaten's in the Home Coming committee."
"Hmm...Looks like Seiya's the sporty one, being the jock and all, Taiki's the book lover and Yaten..Yaten's the 'I'll-do-anything-as-long-as-it's-not-tiring-and-I-won't-get-sweaty' kind of guy." Haruko commented as she continued eating her onigiri.
Everybody almost choked on their food because of what Haruko said. Haruko just blinked innocently, not realizing that she was dead pan right on her analysis. Then she turned to Usagi and asked,
"Ne Usa-chan, what about you?"
"I don't belong to any but I guess I'll try something this year." Usagi replied.
"Yeah, like the Science club!" Minako teased.
The whole gang started teasing Usagi as Minako explained to Haruko that Usagi and their new Physics teacher are in fact, a couple. They stopped teasing when they saw Mamoru and a girl with long jet black hair with an oddly familiar face walking towards them.
"Hey Usa-ko, hey girls, three lights." Mamoru greeted.
"Konichiwa Mamoru-sensei!" (Hello teacher Mamoru!) The girls shouted in chorus.
"Haha very funny." Mamoru retorted with a smirk and continued, "Anyway, girls, this is Sou Calliope, she's from my class, 2-C and she's new. I hope you could help her adjust." Mamoru said.
Usagi immediately stood up, clung to Mamuro's arm, glared at the girl and said in a warning voice,
"He's mine, understood?"
"I know he is, and I have no intention of taking him away from you..." Calliope said with a smile. "...princess" Calliope continued under her breath as her smile turned into a smirk.
"What did you call me?" Usagi asked.
"I called you Usagi." Calliope smiled once again.
"I thought you said something else. Anyway, Mamo-koi, this is Tenou Haruko, she's new too and she's with me in 2-A." Usagi said.
Haruko stood up, bowed in respect and held out a hand.
"She's Haruka's sister." Rei added.
Mamoru looked straight into her eyes as she shook the girl's hand and asked,
"Is she?"
Haruko can't explain but her heart ran faster and felt a certain connection with Mamoru. She removed her hand before she feels anything else.
"Well now, I'll be leaving Calliope with you. I still have some things to finish before our class, see you later!" Mamoru said as he walked away.
A few minutes later and the bell rang which ended their lunch break. They went back to their class and got ready for Physics.
