Chapter 3 - Sensei

Friday morning, The sky is clear and blue, and the sun is rising. The wind is a little bit cold, very gently touching my skin. The birds are singing in harmony while children are running down the street on the way to school.

Akira is now headed to school; she is strolling while her body feels well, and her mind was so delighted.

"Finally, I arrived safe and sound," I said with a cheerful voice. I went to my shoe locker to change, and I saw Yuki entering the school gate; I quickly hid in the back of our shoe locker so she couldn't see me.

"Yosh! I need to run fast, and I cannot face her now." I said.

DING-DONG-DING... DING-DONG-DING... - The school bells are ringing.

"Good morning, Class B." - Mr. Ito said. "Good morning, Mr. Ito." The whole class greeted Mr. Ito in Chorus.

"Okay, Class, Let's start. Our lesson for today is about Poetry. Open your book on page 107."

I am so glad that we will study poetry; I love poetry so much.

Akira is an Amateur Writer and Poet. She started to write a poem when she was in grade school.

Mr. Ito, Began to read the first verse of the poem. The poem is all about Love; Love by distance, age, status, gender, and appearance doesn't matter. If you love someone or something, you need to fight for it. I've thought about something. I started to realize that I need to face Yuki and start asking her a question.

The phrase etched in my mind is, " Love is like a camera; we need to capture someone's heart to develop a relationship. So make it a beautiful photograph."

Akira suddenly remembered that Handsome guy. "Kay! I love this phrase. I want to develop a relationship with him" I raised my voice, so everyone was surprised, and I was embarrassed, and Mr. Ito called my name and asked me. "Akira, Have you ever been in love?" Mr. Ito asked; the entire class has been teasing me, and I can't move my hand because of shame.

"Hmm, pardon, Sir?" I was hesitant to answer his question. What a shame! Mr. Ito laughed at me; he was teasing me for real.

" Akira Kaneko, Are you daydreaming about my lesson? You kept grinning at your book while I was reading. " Mr. Ito explained to me, so he came closer to me and murmured. "You go to my office later after class." and I answered, "Yes, Sir."

My English teacher's name is Ayumu Ito. He is twenty-six years old, a single and intelligent guy who loves by everybody, mainly girls, teachers, and students. He had long blonde hair that always ponytailed when he was in class, fair skin, round brown eyes, a nose slightly pointed but had red lips. He is the utterly perfect guy that you've ever imagined.

After class, I wasn't able to talk to Yuki. So she went home, and I didn't chase him anymore because I had to go to Mr. Ayumu's office; when I reached the hallway going to Mr. Ito's office, I'm afraid that He might scold me or something. "Okay, I will knock on the door now." - I sigh.

Door's squeaking sound. "Who's there? Please come in." -Mr. Ito.

"Excuse me, Mr. Ito. Akira Kaneko here. you told me earlier to stay after class and go to your office." - I said. "Yes, I told you to come here after class because I want something to tell you. About the other day, you saw Yozora and Mizuki kissing. I was there too. I saw you with a surprised face, and the first thing that pops into my mind is, "You are in Love with Inei Mizuki." - he added.

"Oh, His name is Inei Mizuki. At last, I knew his name." Finally, After a couple of days, He is Inei Mizuki.

"Inei is my best friend; We have known each other since we're in high school." He continuously tells me a story about Inei until near dusk.

"Mr. Ito, I need to go home now. My mother will scold me ." - I said. "I will take you home, don't worry, please wait for me, and I'll just get my car key." - he ran fast to get the car key, and I hesitated to refuse.

While we were in the car, I could not speak to him until, "Hmm. Akira Kaneko, May I get your phone number?" He asked me thoroughly.

"Okay, Mr. Ito." - I immediately gave my number and got out of the car immediately. "Here's my number."

It is strange. Why does Mr. Ito ask for my number?
