Chapter 2: A playful idea

Hiori got out of the crowd, her hair was a mess once again but she didn't care about it. Hiori happily went to where Mumei is as she waved her hands she said "meimei!~ Your classroom is in 2-B and mine is in 2-A~"

Mumei looked at her with questioning gaze "oh..."

Hiori didn't back out and looked straight to hers and said coquettishly "You wouldn't miss me?~"

"No"

"ahh~ you sinful woman~ you dared take my heart and yet you won't miss this beautiful woman in front of you huhu~"

Hiori's acting gave Mumei goosebumps all over her body she gave her a glare then she reach for her forehead and flicked it "Enough playing. see you at lunch"

Hiori rubbed her forehead and nodded and said "see you later~"

Hiori was definitely out of character a while ago to Mumei not notice anything off she decided to act like Riri-chan and played around, it was definitely worth trying though she thought to herself she wouldn't do it twice.

Hiori got to her classroom there a bunch of students was already in there seats. Hiori went to the black board and looked at the paper she saw her name and seat then she looked for Mumei's, hers and Mumei's are beside each other her seat was at the fourth row second to the last and Mumei's was at fifth row second to the last a seat near the window, the protagonists seat!

Hiori went to her seat she giggled a few times whenever she thought of Mumei's face when she realized she was played with.

The bell rang and a young woman with her long wavy brown-ish hair, wearing a formal white collared long-sleeve shirt that's tucked in a pickle green colored slacks, she seems to be holding a long yet thin notebook.

all the student's attention went on her, she walked with poise then she stopped at the center facing the students then she smiled and said ''Good morning everyone, I'm-''

but before she could finished her sentence the sliding door slowly opened making a 'shh' sound and Mumei's serious face popped up.

… …

Mumei walked in Class 2-B then she took a glance at the board and saw a bunch of students looking at the seating arrangement she decided to wait for them to finish looking, three minutes whole passed and the swarm didn't lessen so she decided squeeze in

but just before she could the bell rang and the swarm of students in front walked away with haste bumping her a little as they went to their own seats and a middle aged man seems to be the homeroom teacher of the class went in.

the homeroom teacher was surprised as he looked around his class and the seats in the classroom are occupied and yet a student was still standing in daze in front

he cleared his throat as he pushed his glasses with his index finger then said ''student, what's your name?''

Mumei was in no hurry she looked behind her and she saw all the seats are occupied then she looked at the teacher and bowed a bit and said ''Goodmorning Teacher, I'm Ishikawa Mumei''

the teacher hummed then he opened his class record as he lowly mumbles ''Ishikawaka..no... Ishikawa... Ishikawa..''

the male teacher looked at her once again and thought to himself that this student doesn't seem to be the type to play around hence he checked again his class record but he didn't see her name in his class. he sighed and said

''student, you're not in this class. you're in the wrong room''

Mumei already guessed it that might be the case then she bowed again and apologized

the male teacher said its okay and hoped that she finds her class quickly.

... ...

Mumei went and opened the door then closed it slowly she walked to the classroom next to it, Class 2-A. She can already hear a teacher saying their greeting but she have no choice but to interrupt her.

she pursed her lips then she held the door handle

hence the present situation:

Mumei sighed then she opened the door slowly making a 'shhh' sound then she closed it slowly making a click sound at the end.

she bowed at the teacher ''Good morning teacher, I'm sorry I'm late''

the teacher smiled ''Good morning, its fine go take a seat''

Mumei looked around and saw a vacant seat at the window then she saw Hiori beside it, she made a piece sign as she smiled.

she sighed again then she bowed at the teacher once more then she went to her seat.

once she was seated the female teacher said her greetings once again

and introduced herself ''Good morning once again. I am Watanabe Rui, you can address me However you like as long as it is proper''

a male student said ''teacher, is it okay to call you Rui-sensei?''

Watanabe Rui smiled ''that's fine too''

it made the class lively

all the male students looked at the brave spirit and made a thumbs up pose.

Rui-sensei slightly chuckled as she looked around the lively class ''alright enough''

the class went silent as she said it

she was very satisfied by her students attitude hence she didn't make them wait any longer. she walked at the student near the entrance door and gave her the notebook that she was holding earlier then she walked at the side near the window where the teacher's desk is then she looked back at the student she gave the notebook to as she said

''student, find your name and make a check sign at the column next to it, that would mark you as present in this class, when you're done pass it to the person next to you and the receiving end should do the same. student at the end, pass it to the classmate behind you.''

''when you're done the last person to receive the notebook may place it here, at the table.'' she slightly pat the table beside her, then she continued

''You are free to do as you like, but when the bell rings once again form a single line, be calm as you do so and do not push someone. then head to the gymnasium, do not break the line. I'll guide you once everyone is there. understood?''

everyone nodded

Rui-sensei smiled then a moment after, she was gone.

after the door closed everyone turned their head to Hiori's direction

Hiori flinched as she saw everyone turning their heads at the same time on her line of sight

(stop! this ain't a horror film!)

almost half of her classmate went to her seat and formed a big circle, Hiori just looked at her classmates with a confused gaze.

(what are they doing)

after the crowd formed a circle, they just stared at Hiori and no one talked for a whole minute.

then the brave soul earlier was once again the first one to say something

''classmate, I'm Fujiwara Kaede, call me Kaede'' he smiled as he introduced himself, he looked at Hiori with sparkling eyes, he can't wait to hear her voice.

Hiori nodded then she looked around her and saw everyone looking straight at her, with her classmates pressuring she had no choice but to introduce herself. her lips slowly opened

''A-''

the bell chimed, disrupting her

then the fellow classmate who received the attendance notebook said in a tone that everyone in class can hear ''everyone form a single line''
