Best Teacher

“I’m still safe, right?” I scratched my head at Eguchi-sensei’s remark which she responded with a laugh. But when she noticed the other students who didn’t make it in time and were left standing outside the gate, she cleared her throat and tapped me on my shoulder.

“Yes. Go on now before I mark you late.”

“Thank you, sensei.” I mimicked a salute to her. And although I didn’t expect her to lose composure, the strict PE Teacher stifled a laugh before quickly turning around.

Mhm… That’s quite cute of her, to say the least. Naturally, I wouldn’t voice that out or she might revert the way she treats me back to my first impression of her.

Since I almost arrived late, I was the last one to show up in our classroom except for those who hadn’t returned from their morning practice yet. Nonetheless, I put on a smile as I nonchalantly walked to my seat while my eyes momentarily checked on my girls.
