Anna's Point of View
As the sun sets in our eyes, we walked down a quiet and empty street and of course, we are filled in an awkward atmosphere.
"We have arrived at your home. Look, the life of Chieko is very hard and you need to bare with it"
Ami started talking while she held my two shoulders in front of me.
"Do you mean that I'm poor in this world?! I can't bare that because I was born rich in my present!"
I shouted at Ami. I don't deserve living in a miserable life of Chieko! I was expecting that Chieko is living in a vintage-style mansion.
"Well, you've got to bear with it since time is ticking while my dad is building another time travelling orb"
Ami calmly explained to me. I gasped heavily and stared at this small and old house I'm going to live in for a while.
"Okay, I'll bear with this. I'll bear with this situation I'm stucked in"
I replied with an upset face. Ami just smiled at me and patted my head.
"Okay, be nice to your mom and dad, and note your name of your mom and dad are Mina and Haru so don't forget about it. You're the only child of Yun Family"
Ami shared and slightly pushed me to the door of our house.
"That's it. Now go see your mother and father, enjoy this 19th Century!"
Ami lastly spoke and waved goodbye to me as she ran away from me.
Okay, Anna, I mean Chieko, you're going to enter this house and bare this misery for a while.
I rotated the doorknob and slowly opened the door.
As I saw the heat and light coming from one candle in the house, I noticed the figure of a woman, probably my mom sleeping on a wood chair. As I walked near my mom, I noticed rough cemented floor.
"Why are you home late? I have 5 coins for you to spend for tomorrow"
Suddenly, an old man, probably my dad, scared the heck out of me.
Wait 5 coins? How is that going to help me survive a day?! Unless 5 coins is already a big amount in this century.
"Okay, sure dad. I need to go to sleep because I'm already tired"
I act tired while walking upstairs even I don't know where my bedroom is but I hope my bedroom is beautiful like me. As soon as I used the old stairs of the house, I noticed a small room with no doors. I looked upon it and thought this might be my bedroom.
But there's no bed! How is this called bedroom if there's no bed to sleep on?!
I sat down on the long wooden chair and think of how miserable I'm living in. I miss my luxury things in my room. I don't deserve living in this house!
Then, I didn't notice myself that I am slowly falling asleep from overthinking.
-•-
"Chieko! Chieko!"
I faced back to the reality when I was disrupted by Ami from overthinking. We're in the classroom now. I got here earlier than the rest.
"Are you okay? Did you sleep peacefully?"
Ami worriedly asked me. Isn't it obvious? I didn't sleep peacefully because of some ants crawling on to my skin.
"No. I didn't sleep well because I wasn't used to sleeping on the ground!"
I complained and smashed the desk hard.
"Calm down, just bear with it for a while. You'll be going back to your present in no time!"
Ami calmed me down. But I was burning so bad.
"How can I bear this if I can't survive a day without complaining?! There's no electricity in our house! I can't charge my phone!"
I shouted as some students stared at me from confusion, which made me calm down and sat back on my seat.
"Ms. Chieko, stop roaring so loud, it's very early!"
Our professor spoke. I didn't notice our teacher is sitting in front already, and of course I also notice the blackboard that made me felt in a bad mood.
"Okay, good morning class"
Our professor greeted with a boring voice.
"Good morning Ms. Chin"
I followed the other students in standing and greeting our professor. So this is Ms. Chin?
I sat down quickly and think of all the probable lessons that she is going to teach. It's probably an outdated and nonsense lessons since we're in an old century.
Right after Ms. Chin is going to speak, a group of 4 students came in, including that Kaito who bullied me.
"You're late, Mr. Kaito, Ms. Shina, Mr. Nobi and Mr. Savier"
Ms. Chin confidently spoke to them. The students just went up straight to their seats.
"Tsk. Alright, your results in your exams are here and I might say, Ms. Chieko is still doing the best job here"
As Ms. Chin said it, I was shocked because Chieko is doing a great job in this class. She's just like me, who is also doing great in academic performances.
"And Mr. Kaito, you're always doing the worst. You should focus more on your studies rather than with your friends"
Ms. Chin added as the whole class looked at Kaito, the bully of mine.
Then after that, Ms. Chin opened up another new topic to discuss for all of us.
-•-
It's class dismissed and we just learned about grammars and stuffs, ang good thing I already know those things. We packed our things up and got ready to go home.
"Umm, Ms. Chieko and Mr. Kaito, Can I have a word with you guys?"
But as soon as I'm supposed to go outside, Ms. Chin called my name, together with Kaito. I looked at Kaito who seems to be not in the mood.
I sat down on my seat and waited for Ms. Chin to speak up to us.
After a few minutes, Ms. Chin told us to go near her and we did what she told us to do.
"Ms. Chieko, can you tutor Mr. Kaito? He seems to be a slow-learner student and at the same time, he's not focusing with his studies"
Ms. Chin requested. Why do I need to tutor this guy? He legit bullied me yesterday, now I'm going to stress myself up just to teach this bully?
"How I wish Ms. Chin but I'm afraid I can't"
I denied while pouting my lips.
"I also observed you two not getting along with each other, maybe this is a great chance for you guys to develop friendship"
Ms. Chin explained further.
What's the role of this guy in the life of being Ms. Chieko Yun? Is this guy important to her life? I should think deeply because my decisions can affect my present.
"Just please accept it, Ms. Chieko. I'm also doing plenty of duties as a teacher"
Ms. Chin begged more. Should I accept this request?
"If you ask me, Ms. Chin, I agree in accepting this opportunity"
Kaito started speaking as he gives a smirk to us. He's so creepy it's making me feel scared of him.
"Ms. Chieko, if you tutor Mr. Kaito, I'll be able to increase your grades even higher"
Ms. Chin explained further. It might be a great opportunity as well even though I'm tutoring a bully of Chieko.
"Alright, Ma'am. I'll accept. When should we start?"
I happily answered our professor.
"Today"
Ms. Chin responded quickly. It made my heart beats faster than usual.
"Okay, both of you may now go so you guys can start early"
Ms. Chin waved goodbye to us and I waved back to her while giving her a forced smile. We both started to walk together by the hallway.
"Wait, I'm going to talk to my friends, first. You're willing wait, right?"
Kaito said and ran to his group of friends.
This is going to take some time.
