This chapter's for Chizuru –

DISCLAIMER : I don't own Maid-sama

The Sub (3rd Person POV)

"Good afternoon, class." said a heavily accented voice. The speech was distorted and the students looked up to see a man with Caucasian skin enter the classroom, wearing thick horn-rimmed glasses.

He seemed like an Indian or someone from the West, definitely, as the students tried to stifle their laughs. The man was need, with clear brown eyes and he surveyed the class, a small frown built on his lips.

"My name is Jay- and I'm going to be your Substitute Maths teacher for today." He said in, looking at everyone and walking by every student, examining and taking in the surroundings of the class as he moved towards the front.

"Before I start with my lessons today, I want everyone to submit their homework that your teacher set you with yesterday. Whoever hasn't done it, please stand up."

Misaki smirked as around 5 boys stood up, their heads hung down as they hid their amused expressions- it was all a joke for them.

Jay stared at them. His angular face with his brown hair falling in curls till his ears, was etched with a scowl "And why didn't you do it?"

All the boys mumbeled inaudibly and muttered awful excuses.

The teacher's expression became sterner "Out of my class, now!"

They boys stared up at him, then went out of the classroom door without another word.

Misaki looked smug, as if her birthday had come earlier "That'll teach them, those miscreants…"

Usui smiled on the desk next to hers, and leaned forward "Don't you think that's a little harsh, prez?"
She sent him a glare as she handed her book to Jay "They are who they are."

"Who exactly, Miss Ayuzawa?" came Jay's questioning voice.

Misaki looked up, startled "H-How do- do you know my name…?"
Jay gestured to her maths notebook "It's written right here." He threw the book on her desk after giving it a tick mark "Impressive, Miss Ayuzawa. You got all of that right. The curve of the 8's was kind of misleading- I took them as P's, but that's okay."

Misaki gave a weak smile at him, but Jay gave her a weird look and moved on to the next desk.

She searched his face- he was in his late twenties and seemed like he was new in his teaching career.

"Terrible handwriting!" he exclaimed as he looked down at the book of another boy. "Really, the 4's look like A's….and such messy work!" he sent the student a glare "I will be giving you two pages of handwriting improvement and I want you to take this business very seriously!"

The student stared at him, and the other boys looked indignant as Jay moved on to the next person.

"Such disgrace! You seem to be truly the students of Seika High- no good at all except some of you- what do the others do? Follow Miss Ayuzawa's example, look at her work-"

Misaki, who had had a scowl building up in her face, brightened as jay said it and immediately a small smile came up to her, as she shook her head, flustered "N-no- it's nothing!"

The males sent her a glare-except for Usui and she glared right back until they shrank and looked back in distaste.

Jay continued to check everyone's homework. Instead of collecting the books and proceeding with the class lessons, he kept on checking each book and making jibe comments.

"Hey, you- tuck your shirt and button up your top button!" he shot at a boy.

"But it's so hot!" the student cried.

Jay looked at him, eyebrows raised "Oh, so it's hot. Well, tucking up your shirt and trying to be neat will not kill you, young man! Filthy- and just look at those hair! I want them cut by tomorrow!"

No one said anything as the boy scowled and tucked his shirt, and buttoned up his button.

"Bastard." He muttered.

Jay shot around "What did you say?" he said sharply

"Nothing"

"What is your name? You want me to take you to the principle, huh?" Jay asked threateningly.

"I'm Kazuki- and try doing anything to me!" the boy burst out angrily.

"Out of my class. Go to the principle's office! Detention for you!"
"Yeah, whatever!" Kazuki strode out, glaring at Jay.

Misaki shot out of her desk "Kazuki, you'll be meeting me after detention at the Council Room!" she felt beyond angry at the way Kazuki was behaving in front of their substitute teacher "I will not have you talking such language-"

"Yeah, yeah, prez. I don't care." Kazuki sent her an indifferent look and went out.

Misaki stared until Jay cried out "You-! Get me some white chalk!"

"But there are chalks there-"

"They're not white! You think I'll scribble down in coloured chalks like this is kindergarten?" Jay spat. Misaki sat down, concentrating on the way Kazuki had looked at her. It was as if he thought she was hopeless.

Really?... She thought as a boy went out to get some chalks, muttering….Do they really think I'm hopeless? But it's not me- it's- it's them! They way they behave in front of everyone- they refuse to learn! How is it my-?...

Misaki scowled and Usui smirked at her cute expression. He knew what she was thinking- it was one of the things he liked best about Misaki. Whenever she did something wrong- she would always realize it and do something about it, even if it meant she had to put her reputation at stake. He knew she was thinking about how Kazuki looked like he knew she wouldn't help him.

Am I really that bad….? Misaki thought about what she'd do if Jay had bullied the girls like this. Would she still sit there watching and being smug about it all? Of course not! Suddenly she felt really guilty. She was being one-sided- she somehow seemed to have forgotten that sometimes, maybe the boys could be right. And the way Jay was treating them wasn't exactly fair either.

"Okay, who can answer this question?" came Jay's voice and interrupted her thoughts as he shot down an equation on the board with a white chalk and turned around to look at the students expectedly. Some of the girls raised their hands- and the only boys who had their hands raised was Usui, Shintani and Yukimura.

Jay's brows furrowed, and he pointed over at Yukimura "Okay, you tell me"

"I-It's- it's 'x' equals t-to-" Yukimura stammered under Jay's intense gaze "I m-m-mean it's- I- 'x' is- I- 'x' is- it's- it-s- I can't do it!" Yukimura wailed as Jay's eyes slowly went up in flames.

"Yukimura what are-?" Misaki said, and Usui shook his head, smiling his alien-ish smile again.

"Why did you raise your hand then?" Jay asked in his queer accent, frowning. He then looked up at the students "What a bunch of students are you! You-! Tell me the answer to this!" He pointed at a random boy who stood up, scowling.

Shuddering and sniffing really loudly, Yukimura made to sit down when Jay's arm shot at him "Why are you sitting, huh? I didn't tell you to sit down! Raise your arms above your head and stay like that!"

Misaki's brow furrowed and she looked at Jay's face as he glared at Yukimura.

The vice- president trembled and raised two shaking arms and stood up, tears ready to spill out.

!5 minutes later, Jay stood in front of the class, erasing the equation that the students hadn't been able to solve. His face was red and half the boys were standing with their arms above their heads.

Jay hadn't asked any of the girls, or the boys who knew the solution. Instead, he kept on pointing out the people who didn't know.

Now he was muttering exceptionally loudly, in rage "Don't know what your teachers have been doing all this time…one sum! One sum you can't get! One sum! Seika High does live up to it's reputation, filthy children- don't know how to dress, don't study, what do they-"

Misaki's insides were starting to boil. She watched the boys wince as their arms started to hurt and how they were muttering cuss words at Jay, and looking in her direction with disgust.

She looked down; she had smirked at them when Jay had punished them, but now it all seemed too wrong.

Jay's words were still audible clearly- "No morals, nothing! I don't know what these teachers have been doing to you- how will they ever be prepared for their yearlies..? These staff.."

That was it. Misaki slammed her fist down on her desk and stood up, glaring at Jay

"You want to know what the other teachers have been doing?" she said loudly. Usui smiled proudly next to her. That was his Misaki, al right.

"They've been teaching us subjects and sticking to them- not fussing over the color of chalk! They have been teaching us to follow our teachers, like we are doing right now even if you don't deserve it one bit! You've wasted 40 MINUTES groaning about the COLOR of chalks, commenting on other people's HANDWRITING and giving them lines! And Yukimura hasn't even done anything! He just got nervous because you were-"

"Miss Ayuzawa, you-" Jay began threateningly.

"You can't go around punishing the students in this manner HERE at Seika High! OUR teachers have NEVER treated us this way! Now, Mr. Jay, since I've told you what the teachers here at Seika High do-" Misaki took a deep breath and looked at the substitute teacher with determined eyes "- I suggest you stop asking about that and start teaching us something yourself." She finished, glaring at Jay who looked like he didn't know what to say.

After a long silence where the students held their breath, waiting for Misaki to be sentenced to detention, Jay cleared his throat "Everyone sit down, please." He said and turned around to ignore everyone's looks.

The boys' arms went limp by their side as they stared at Jay, who was writing down sums and their solutions on the board furiously without any word, and then at Misaki, who sat down with a dignified face and started to copy it down.

Usui smiled as the boys smiled at Misaki's direction, sitting down on their seats and whispering, astonished.

As the mood of the class came down back to normal, a boy leaned to whisper into her ear "Hey, prez… thanks"

"I'm not done with you" she mumbeled "Meet me at the Council Room- all of you who didn't get that sum."

The male grinned and exchanged knowing glances with his fellow friends, then went back to work.

A/N: Well, that was….I don't know. *shrug* I hope you liked it Chizuru. It took me literally 7 days to write this out- I had a major writer's block :P

Well, I've seen some Indian movies where the students were punished this way, so I put it in here. I hope it didn't cause any offence to my Indian readers- I thought Indians are all disciplined and stuff- like Japanese ninjas- so I made the Sub that way (:

Ok, I started babbling again.

Thank you for reading and please review! ^^

Iris Petals- Ill Misaki is next. I kind of liked the way I wrote that ;)

Adios!
