Teacher : What are you doing?
Harue : Ah! Teacher.
Teacher : Are you flirting with each other.
Harue : No. I was just checking on his health he was quite red. I was worried that he might have fever.
Teacher : Okay. Don't do that again and you [points at Ichi who was glaring at the teacher] G-Go to the medical room and get treated.
Harue : He is called Ichi.
Teacher: Yes, yes whatever.
Harue : [in mind] What a dumb teacher calling their students like that. I have to tell grandma about this.
The teacher returned and the lecture started as usual. Ichi put his head on the desk he knew he would pass and get first place without studying.
Harue : Aren't you worried.
Ichi : [raises his head as Harue called him] Why?
Harue : If you don't listen you will fail the exam.
Ichi : Oh. What if I can--
Harue : I can teach you.
Ichi : You.....will....teach....[points at himself] me.
Harue : [nods]Yes. I scored good marks and I can even get first place.
Ichi : Then will you teach me.
Harue : Yes, if you want I will teach you in school or you want me to meet outside to give you lessons.
Ichi : Oh! I will tell you after asking my parents.
Harue : okay.
Eventhough Ichi is very intelligent and could even get first place he did not wanted to decline the offer that Harue made. As they were about to concentrate to what teacher was saying suddenly something hits Harue forehead.
Harue : Ouch!
Ichi looked at the person who hurted Harue. There she was the teacher with another chalk almost about to throw another at Harue. But Ichi glares at her.
Harue : Teacher why would you hit me.
Teacher : You weren't concentrating on what I was saying.
Harue : But you could have just said me to concentrate.
Teacher : Are you talking back to me. Huh children seriously don't respect their elders anymore. Didn't your parents teach you any manners. I am disappointed at the teaching of your parents.
Harue was silent as the teacher was now doubting her parents. Yami and Koemi's teaching. She didn't ever wanted someone to insult her parents because of her. Her eyes and expressions were getting dull Ichi was looking at Harue seeing her like this was breaking his heart. It was the first time he saw Harue with that expression. Rage started to form in his heart when he suddenly shouted making everyone surprised.
Ichi : Who are you to teach someone manners when you don't know yourself. Have you ever talkes to a student politely. Didn't your parents tell you to treat children carefully. A teacher does not teach their students like that. They teach with patience. I don't see that in you. Just yesterday I saw you taking bribe from that girl [points at a student] parents and you punished a student even if it wasn't his fault. You are a shame on teachers.
Teacher : W-What are you talking about you brat.
Ichi : Fine let's take this to the court I will be the evidence.
Teacher : Are you p-picking fight because I fought with her. What is she your. A girlfriend.
Ichi : If you want to make excuses now don't taint our friendship at least. She is my friend whom I don't want to be harmed or hurt physically or mentally.
Harue was looking at Ichi who took her side listening to him addressing to as his friend made her heart feel better. A tear slipped from her eyes. Ichi looked at the tear that left her eye. Harue could see his face holding an undefined emotion. Ichi walked closer to Harue to offer her his handkerchief. When someone entered the classroom in rush and shouted.
??? : Who made her cry? [shout]
