A/N: Now, here's another instalment for 'Reaching You'.
All that Lavina wants is to just get through high school without any mishaps and what-not. Is it too much to ask? Sadly, the gods above decreed to make her life more colorful, albeit a little troublesome. She then secretly glances over the redhead that's sitting on the floor. The two of them are the only ones in the library, sadly, all teachers has been called for an impromptu meeting (most probably about the sempai-tachi's graduation) so the rest of the classes for today were cancelled. The first thing she did when it was announced was to go to the school library, since people rarely go there, and she's also dying to read the novel that she has recently bought. She could've gone to one of the music rooms, but she's not comfortable enough to play the piano outside the safety (not to mention privacy) of her own home.
It made her sigh in exasperation, mentally beating herself up that she should've said no. She has never been this close to a boy her age before, and she doesn't have a clue on what to do.
"So, what do we do now Haru-chan?"
Haru blinks at her, also having no idea on what they would do. A couple of minutes ago, their teacher were called among the other teachers as well for an impromptu meeting. They already have an idea on what it was.
"I don't have any idea, Elena-chan"
"Wait a minute, Valentine's Day is coming up. Do you have someone you want to give chocolates to?"
Haru pondered about the question for a minute, an image of a blonde haired, orange-eyed boy pops in her mind. She mentally shrugs it off, she doesn't like him like that, right?
"None so far"
Elena leans forward, looking at the brunette's expression with a critical eye, but Haru just laughs it off.
"Really?"
"Yes."
"Why don't we shop later for chocolates then, Haru-chan?"
"Sure, I bet that Spade-sempai will be glad to have your chocolate"
Elena's blush reached her ears at what Haru implied.
"Knuckle, quit fooling around. Focus on the review here, and pipe the bloody down you git!"
Daemon rubbed his temples in irritation as he tried, keyword TRIED, to teach Knuckle the lessons notes for their upcoming exams. Even though the loud-mouth is an idiot, he is still his best friend. So he tries his best to help him wherever he can, although teaching Knuckle can be a pain in the ass, since the guy can't remember everything (not to mention that he shouts every single damn time, it's miracle that he's still not deaf).
"I CAN'T FOCUS TO THE MAXIMUM! IT'S ALL SO CONFUSING TO ME, TO THE MAXIMUM! YOU'RE ALSO SHOUTING BY THE WAY, TO THE MAXIMUM!"
"Use your bloody indoor voice; you're lucky we're at my house. I'm not shouting, I'm telling you off. If we we're at school that bastard prefect would kick your arse, not that I'd let him actually do that, that's my job."
"I DIDN'T KNOW YOU'RE THAT YOU CARE FOR ME THAT MUCH, TO THE MAXIMUM!" Knuckle patted Daemon in the back good-naturedly, unfortunately it made Daemon feel the opposite of him, but although the latter's already used to his antics it doesn't mean that it didn't hurt him at the same time. Daemon also thinks that he must've cracked a rib or two. "I'M SO LUCKY TO BE FRIENDS WITH YOU TO THE MAXIMUM!"
"Can we get started in this millennium already? I don't want to fail because a certain idiot's not paying attention to class."
"OKAY, OKAY TO THE MAXIMUM! YOSH! LET'S STUDY TO THE MAXIMUM!"
"Indoor voice Knuckle!"
"YOU'RE SHOUTING TOO, TO THE MAXIMUM!"
"Reborn, I think that my idea is better than yours kora!"
Colonello folded his arms and looked over the school doctor defiantly. He never did like the man ever since he first met him. Why he even started a rivalry with him. Reborn on the other hand, drank his espresso calmly but smirked in the Geography teacher's direction, ticking the man some more.
"Really? To be honest, your idea is so simple and stupid that even a kindergartner can come up with it"
"Why you –!"
Lal, the History teacher, rubbed her throbbing temple with her hand while rolling her eyes at the two men's antics. She sometimes wondered if they were really kids trapped in adult bodies. On her right, the Home Economics teacher sighs and offers the younger woman some of the muffins she brought. Lal took some and thanked Luce. The latter then offered it to their other co-teachers as well, and they graciously took some and thank the older woman.
"You know, Luce, we're not getting any progress at all in this meeting."
"You mean in every meeting, Lal."
"Can you please stop those two? You're the only one they'd ever listen to"
"Love to but can't, I'm too tired to stop them. The downsides of being pregnant"
"Hah…."
Mammon, the Arts teacher, ignored the rest of his colleagues and just continued sketching the layout of the stage designs that they had discussed earlier. Fon, the Jap Lit teacher, calmly sips on his green tea while nibbling the blueberry muffin that Luce brought.
"How are the designs so far, Mammon-kun?"
"I'll tell you, if you pay me fifteen thousand yen"
"Not everything runs on money, you know"
"Don't lecture me, Kung Fu maniac!"
Bermuda and Verde, the Biology and Physics teachers respectively, are discussing things that are left to be unnoted. Skull, the English teacher, took this chance to catch up on his sleep. He spent almost all night just grading the remaining students' main grade that passed their projects late. He mentally cursed Cozart, G, Ieyasu and Asari for what they did. Somewhere in school, the four teens sneezed almost simultaneously.
Jagger, the Math teacher, pitied Skull. He knows what it felt like to grade students to the last minute just because they passed their projects late. How he figured that out, he also has the very same troublesome students under his wing (or rather, class). And he has cursed those kids la lot of times already; he's just counting the days when they'll be out of his hair. He then looks over on his left, where the music teacher, Lussuria is. He couldn't help but cringe in disgust, as the aforementioned music teacher was current gushing over some idols in the magazine that he has. What made Jagger shiver involuntarily is when the latter make cute-sy expressions and sounds. He sometimes wonders why the hell is he still at this school.
