Ai To Shiawase's

Ch. 2: New Students?

...My heart raced when I met you!...

...♥¡♥¡♥¡♥...

Now, I'm in a place that I think is the safest place in the world. Yes ... Now I'm curled up in bed holding a trace of the slap from the mother earlier.

“Why no one believes me. Actually—what's my fault to you guys ...?" my mind with teary eyes.

Tears began to flow from the corner of my eye. I can't hold it anymore. The sobs of my tears—cracked and echoed in this silent room. All the things that are here are silent witnesses of my suffering.

I kept crying until I didn't realize it was getting dark. The analog clock has been pointed at 18:00, indicating that the night is getting late.

I wiped my tears and then pulled the green blanket tosca gave uncle— to keep me warm in the cold of Tokyo.

I closed my eyes that looked swollen. Hhh .. I have to prepare myself for my suffering tomorrow.

...\=×\=×\=×\=×\=...

The sunlight went through my bedroom window. The chickens have been crowing. The morning has arrived. I woke up with eyes that were still a little sleepy.

Suddenly, I heard the sound of someone shouting while banging on the door of the room.

“HEY! GET UP, YOU SLACKERS!" ketus a middle-aged woman from outside. That just surprised me. I hurried off the bed and opened the door.

Chequek!

I opened the door. As I expected, the woman who shouted earlier was my mother. His face was extremely sinister, as if emitting an extremely dense aura of fury.

“You are! LOOK, WHAT TIME IS IT?! WHY ARE YOU STILL SLEEPING?!" my mother's hardik who managed to make my sweat splash.

“Gomennasai!" I bowed my body and apologized.

“Quick shower there!" mother ordered while pointing towards the bathroom.

I changed the position of my body that originally bent—became upright. With heavy steps— I walk take a towel and go take a shower. After the shower, I went into the room, to wear a uniform and shoes.

A few minutes later, I came out of the room and walked towards the dining table. As she sat down, she suddenly shouted.

“Heehh ... What do you want to do?" ask mom.

The question my mother asked confused me.

“I want breakfast, Mom," I said.

“Cannot. Look at that clock! This is bad luck!" bright mom.

“But, Mom. I'm hungry" I said, holding my tummy in my arms.

But instead of feeling pity, the mother even showed her scary face for a number of times. I who knew the meaning of that gaze immediately paused the intention for breakfast and immediately walked towards school.

“I'm leaving!" I shouted while walking step by step.

However, I did not hear the voice of my mother who shouted this cry. Oh, that's it, it's common. I can't be too hopeful for something that might be impossible.

When I arrived at school, I immediately sat on the bench at the right corner of— near the window. Yes, that is my life .. shutting myself away from anyone. Because to me .. everyone is a life-seeking angel.

The school bell has rung. The 1-F class student who is my class, is preparing to do teaching and learning activities. Shortly after, a teacher entered the classroom.

"Ohayou, Minna!" greet Mai Hikaru, my homeroom teacher.

“Everything, today we have a new friend," said Bu Mai with a smile.

It obviously made the disciples rowdy. They were curious about the figure of this new disciple. But, I don't seem to care. I won't be able to get along with him anyway. I just turned my face to the window to see the morning outside of school.

“Hei! Shhh .... Everyone please shut up!" He told the students to be quiet. "All right, come here, come in!" Bu Mai called out to someone who had now been waiting outside.

Map ... tap .. tap ...

Then, a man with a headseat hanging around his neck and wearing black and white striped shoes entered the room. The guy looks pretty tall. He stopped next to Mai.

“This is your new friend. Son, can you introduce yourself to all the friends?" pinta Bu Mai's.

“Good, Mom. Ohayou, Minna! I'm Rey Tachibana. You can call me Rey. Greetings!" The man introduced himself.

Wait a minute .. he said Rey ...? Isn't he the man who helped me yesterday ...? I immediately changed my eyes and saw the man's face. And it turns out ..he was Rey who helped me out yesterday at the supermarket.

“Alright Rey. Then you sit there! Since the lesson is almost beginning," tell Bu Mai to Rey.

“Good, Mom. But, where should I sit?" ask Rey confused.

"Hmmm ...." Bu Mai was looking for an empty bench for Rey's place. “Ha .. it's there. The backmost bench in the row two from the right," said Bu Mai while pointing at the bench in question.

Uh wait a minute ..the back bench and the second row from the right. Heeee .. isn't that the bench next to me. Oh no. .. I have to how this ...?

“Oh ... Arigatou Gozaimazu, Sensei!" Rey made her body lean a little forward to thank her.

Rey walked to the bench next to me. No. .. no. no. .. why my heart is beating so fast. Arghhh .. Why did my feelings turn out to be strange. Huh ... Rey is close, what should I do ...? Ah I know ....

Rey sat on the bench next to me. However, he did not see me because I covered my face using a book. But suddenly I felt someone reprimanding me.

“Hei!" scold Rey.

“Kyaaa ...!" I was shocked when Rey rebuked me.

“Ah sorry, I surprised you, huh?" Rey looked at me whose face was still covered in books.

I just shook my head. Because, if I answer the question, then maybe Rey will recognize my voice. And, I don't want that to happen. My face may be flushed due to wrong behavior.

“Hmm ... You don't want to be disturbed, do you? Okay then ...." Rey sat back in her place while taking note of the material that is now being described by Bu Mai.

I hesitated to show my face. But, if I keep this up, then I won't be able to write material. Then, how should I?

While being confused about what to do, suddenly Bu Mai shouted at me.

“Hei, Ai! Why don't you take note of the material written on the board ...?" Bu Mai shouted while pointing at me using his marker.

All the students in the class looked at me, including Rey. Haah .. If I respond to Bu Mai, then I will definitely show my real face. But ... There is no other choice. Than I should get punished.

I looked at my face and answered Ma Mai.

“Su-Kok already, Mom. I've already recorded it," I said with a cry.

“Ha ...?! Isn't that Ai ...?" rey muttered that she still remembered me.

He looked at me as if he still couldn't believe it. Rey please don't look at me like that! How'this? My heart is beating ungodly.
