Chapter 22 - Chapter Twenty-Two

"Well, the boss got laid is all I'm allowed to say," Daisuke said walking down the stairs with Yua.

"I knew it! Boss is one dirty man, just wait when one of those girls says they are pregnant."

Daisuke looked at Yua with a smirk and wrapped an arm around her small shoulders whispering in her ear.

"This time it was a boy by the name of Jamie." Yua gasped and covered her mouth.

"He didn't, wow," Yua said with a smirk. "I think he's starting to become a lost cause."

Daisuke opened the front door that led them to a small room. He sat on one of the two chairs that faced a desk with a big computer. He began to enter the password and send a message to the family, as Hisashi requested. After he was done he faced Yua and smirked. "There's a couch no one's using what do you say we. . ."

Yua smiled with a devilish look as she got up from the chair and went to the couch that Daisuke had already sat on.

"Now tell me how and when!" Yua squealed as Daisuke cleared his throat to explain the love life of his boss.

The next day came like a blur and Jamie was sitting at his usual desk with his usual bored expression. Praying that at the very least one interesting thing could happen for once. When the first bell rang and signaled to the students to go to their classrooms, Jamie's teacher appeared with his scowl and attendance book. Behind him was a small boy who kept his head low and walked to the front of the classroom without looking up once.

"Quiet down please, we have a new student." Mr. Saito said. He motioned to the shy boy to introduce himself.

"Um, h-hello? M-my name is Ueda K-Kiyoshi. . . nice to meet you all!" Kiyoshi bowed and looked at the floor once again. "Sit in the back please with Usui, Usui raise your hand."

Jamie raised his hand and smiled he couldn't wait to introduce the boy to Akira. "Hi, I'm Jamie nice to meet you," Jamie said with a small smile.

"Y-yeah me too." Kiyoshi sat down embarrassed as he felt the stares of the students and he sank lower in his chair.

"Well, then let us begin, take out your materials so we can begin this lesson."

The bell for lunch rang and Jamie stood up and stretched his arms in the air. Kiyoshi stayed seated and didn't look up once, Jamie noticed and found this behavior adorable. "Hey, Ueda-san want to eat lunch with me?" Jamie asked with a hopeful look in his eye. Kiyoshi looked at Jamie in confusion and slowly shook his head 'no' he didn't want to feel like Jamie had to invite him to lunch because of pity.

"Aw, cmon it'll be fun you could meet Akira!" Jamie begged as he smiled at Kiyoshi who then modded yes with a bit of regret.
