Luna POV
The next day, I woke up to the sound of my alarm. I groaned and rolled off my bed looking at my phone "6:20, huh ." I closed my phone and was about to sleep again when I remembered I have to find a school for admission. Sighing I got up from my bed and stretched my arms and leg. "Let's see which is the nearest school from here, "I say searching online. I found a school named 'Kunugigaoka Junior High School.'
'It seems quite a school...Let's give it a shot .', I thought quickly getting off my bed and started dressing properly to make myself presentable. I did my breakfast and called a cab.
The driver took me to the Kunugigaoka Junior High School. I thought getting into this school would be a piece of cake, but soon I realized it's going to be a lot tougher than it looks like. I got off the car, took a deep breath, and entered the school. I finally gave the admission test and got A+ in some subjects, B+ in some but, for fucking god sake C in Maths "Ugh! Why can't this one subject be removed forever?", I thought annoyingly.
I silently pray to the gods, that my other subjects will cover up this for me. Cause the other school is way too far. And I don't want to wake up so early for them! After some time I was called in by the principal. Nervously I made my way towards his office after asking a student where it was located. I knocked three times on the door asking politely," May I come in, sir ?"
Gakuho's POV
A new student test score was kept on my table. I was deciding whether or not to take her to school. I went to pick the paper when my arm hurt like hell. "Ahh", I let out a painful cry and withdrew my arm, and got back on my chair, resting my arm.
I closed my eyes and wondered what would have happened if Luna didn't help me yesterday. She is a very fine girl for her age. I was thinking about my 'savior' when I heard someone knocking on the door followed by a familiar voice, asking permission to come in. 'It sounds like Luna.', I thought.
"Come in", I replied in my usual voice. Then I saw her ." What are you doing here Luna?", I asked thinking what could be her reason for coming here? She seemed genuinely surprised seeing me as the principal here. I had to say, her surprised face was quite amusing.
"Mr. Asano, you are the principal of this school ? ", she asked half shocked half nervously. "Yes, I am. But you haven't replied to my question yet", I spoke in a less monotonous yet authoritative voice. "Well, I came here to get admission ", she spoke softly.
Now I remember she told me that she has just come to Japan. "Are these your reports ?", I said eyeing them, she looked over the report and nodded saying, "Yes, they are mine"
"You have fine grades in every subject Luna, except Mathematics, you need to work really hard in that. "May I have your previous test scores ?", I asked.
"Of course, here you go Mr. Asa- I mean principal, "She says quickly cutting own self and looking at the floor nervously. Seeing her expressions, I was barely able to keep my face straight and away from laughing. "Luna you seem nervous, please continue talking to me like yesterday, if you would have been in England, how would you have called me excluding the fact I am the principal of this school .", I asked in a polite manner seeing how tense she was becoming with every passing moment. " I would have called you by your name or uncle Gakuho...", she said looking at me with less nervousness than before.
" Then feel free to call me Uncle Gakuho, but be a bit careful in front of all students and staff members.", I said smiling gently towards my savior who was now a student of mine too.
She instantly brightened after listening to that.
'Maybe because she wasn't in the formal atmosphere anymore. Having someone familiar with you especially when you are in a different country, must be relaxing for her . ', I thought to myself.
"Sure, Uncle Gakuho ", she said returning to her old cheerful self.
I then called Gakushuu, after a minute he knocked on my door and after receiving permission came in. " Yes, Sir? You called for me? ", said Gakushuu in a formal tone.
Gakushuu POV
I was called by my father. 'He must have some important work, otherwise, he never calls me during classes. I wonder what work he has ', I thought and knocked on his door, entering the office after receiving permission."Yes, Sir? You called for me?", I spoke in formal attire, and then my eyes landed on a girl standing there. 'Wait isn't she the girl from yesterday? Luna was it?', I question my own self.
'What is she doing here?', I thought ."Asano-Kun, I want you to help Luna getting familiar here and for you to take care of her . She will be in the same class as you are .", said father in his authoritative voice. I nodded and we both headed out of the office.
"Thank you for saving my dad yesterday. I am pretty surprised to see you here ." I spoke.
"You are not more surprised than me, gakushuu - Kun. I froze in my place when I saw uncle Gakuho as the principal of this school, you know? I was scared that because of my stubbornness to drop him till his house he might be angry and won't give me admission! ", she said fearfully. "But uncle Gakuho is nice! He didn't even bring that up. and even gave me admission.", She said happily.
"Uncle Gakuho? ", I asked a little perplexed. "Uhh yes, but he has told me to not call him Uncle Gakuho in front of students or staff members though.", she responded smiling.
"My father is awfully comfortable around you.", I spoke in a monotonous voice. She looked kind of offended.
"No offense, I was just trying to say that my father does not get so comfortable with people he just meets " I explained quickly.
" It's just that you have just met him yesterday, and he already acknowledges you so much. ," I spoke again but a bit quietly and sullenly. I quickly covered my mouth, after realizing what I said.
Luna POV
I started laughing softly after listening to that statement. Gakushuu looked at me with a puzzled face, making me stop in my tracks, laughing a little louder ." Hey, what's so funny ?", he asked both confused and annoyed.
"It's nothing! Just, last night when I saw you, you were so worried about your father, but after he explained everything, you put that emotionless mask of yours. ", I spoke.
His surprise was shown all over his face. " And now also, when you entered his office you were having that facade of 'I am cold and I don't care about you', but when you talked me being acknowledged by your father. What I saw was just a loving son, who wants to get his father acknowledgment." I spoke smiling gently at him now. " Being a role model for the school must be tiring, but you know what? You can be real in front of me. I am not the judging types", I spoke continuing to Smile at him.
He was dumbfounded like I just revealed his biggest secret. Finally, I started walking, breaking the silence between us, and before he could say something, I spoke," Don't worry, Gakushuu-Kun . I won't tell anyone about this conversation . Alright?", I say smiling cheekily at him.
" How are the teachers of this school anyway? What do you think, will I be able to fit in? I mean, I really don't know a thing about japan and their people and such ", I asked trying to lighten the mood a bit. My statement made him regain his composure ." Yes, I think you would do just fine ", he said returning to his old self. "Really, cuz I am one of the clumsy types you know", I said laughing. " I bet you are ", he said smirking.
Then we reached the classroom as my first day at the school campus in this new country began.
