Early morning, at school...
Hey... Today, it's our second day of our fresh junior high school lives. Our first class was with our fun language teacher, Miss. Rika. She sure makes every day high spirited and special, I have to tell you...
Miss. Rika said, ''Right, so the last bit of the English alphabet should be written, like this. (Writing) Do you all understand? . . . .Hrm? You, over there? Are you are having drawbacks, I presume?''
Male student nervously said, ''Uh-uh... Yes, I apologize Miss. Rika. It's hard for me to keep up. But, don't mind me, please. (Groans)''
Miss Rika said, ''Hmm... If your in a tight spot, I can show you your mistakes after school, if you wish?'' Male student happily asked, ''(Gasps) You would...help me? With my tiny mistakes?''
Miss Rika considerately replied, ''Listen to me, 'small mistakes' can put you in a bind later on... I don't want a single student falling my class, you hear me? Anyway, like I was trying to say...''
Students in the back were whispering, 'What's with her drawings on the board? It looks like she drew a diagram or something...' 'Is it just me, or is she writing more on the board then she has too?'
'So it isn't just me, you noticed it too?' 'Yeah, I know.' 'Maybe, that's her way of making sure we actually learn?' 'Who knows?'
None of us can grasp Miss. Rika's teaching style... It's so far-out of this universe... Where did she come from? I got sucked into her interesting lessons...
Later, in math class...
Our math teacher is a clean left turn from Miss. Rika. Mr. Kanshi teaches us math, and for some reason, he sounds so flatly bored with his own lessons.
Mr. Kanshi listlessly said, ''(Yawns) The Tanuki parent brought a stalk with 32 berries home for it's 8 children... Can all of you figure out how many berries all of the children will get?
You must answer how the berries will be divided amongst them... (~Sighs~)''
[Author's Note]: A Tanuki is a Japanese raccoon dog, mentioned immensely in their culture...
Ami fervidly thought, ''This is riveting. I need to divide 32 by 8, than I have too...''
I wonder why he sounds so bored? I peeked around during math class and I saw some of my friends falling asleep. (Awkward laugh) I guess they will be well revived later...
Much later, on the way home with Airi...
Airi avidly thought, ''Thanks to my new friends earlier, I now have the perfect thing to be closer to Ami! She like reading and books, doesn't she? I... I have to ask her!''
Earlier, during lunch...
Airi munching on her Bento... Female student asked, ''Airi-Chan? Have you ever read this manga? It's totally popular with the girls in our school! (Hands over)''
Airi bemused, asked, 'Chounan High School Host Club?' ''What is it about?''
Female student eagerly said, ''I'm so glad you asked! It's about a girl who dresses like a man named *aruhi, and a boy that leads a high school host club of handsome men, named T*maki!
Oh-my-god, you have to read it, please! I'll lend it to you if you are interested?''
Back in the present...
Airi asked, ''Ami?'' Ami replied, ''What do you want?'' Airi fidgetily said, ''U-Um, earlier today I got this manga that is popular with girls, so I was told...'' 'Chounan High School Host Club.'
Ami bluntly asked, ''Your point?'' Airi boldly asked, ''You like reading, don't you sis?''
Ami answered, ''Obviously...'' Airi keenly asked, ''Would you like to read this manga side by side like real sisters?'' Airi intensely thought, ''I did it! Please, say yes! Say yes!!''
Ami dazedly thought, ''Another ask? Hmm... This has to be a perfect chance! (Inner gasps) Look at her cute-cute eager face! Come on, Ami! You must accept! Say the words.....''
Airi concerned, asked, ''Sister? Are you feeling al-right?'' Ami clenched her hands and said, ''I..... I can't accept your offer... I have other hardships to deal with... We need to keep walking.''
Airi trippily asked, ''You're sure you don't want to read it with your sister?!'' Airi simply said, ''I'll leave you behind.''
Airi gloomingly thought, ''That didn't work out... Drats.....''
Later, near dinnertime with Ami...
Ami desolately thought, ''I keep regressing to my cruel, cruel ways, again and again... I'll never discard this bristly feeling inside myself, if I don't make it up to Airi...
Cooking as she is now, she seems to be fine, but it's hard to read her as she currently is... So far, I can't read my sister, except for certain occasions...
How can this be so, so paradoxical? I wish to improve things, even if it's only a particle . . . .Just, walk up to her and say a few simple phrases... Push your limits, and move past this intrusive problem!''
Ami asked, ''Airi?'' Airi inquired, ''Sister? What is it?'' Ami cautiously said, ''I... I..... (Swallows) . .I...am sorry, for my response to your...question, on the subject of that manga.....
I admit, I was a bit cruel to your feelings... and I... I wouldn't mind... (Clears throat) reading that with you, I suppose... (Moans)''
Ami asked, ''Sister? What's wrong? Did your electrical impulses halt?''
It didn't register what she said to me... I was frozen where I was...
Airi loudly shouted, ''Did I hear you right?! You honestly said that?! I'm not hearing things?!'' Ami blushingly said, ''You...did...?''
Airi spiritedly asked, ''We can read it like sisters!! Thanks so much, Ami!! (Merry laughing)'' Ami frostily said, ''Don't make me regret my choice. (Sniff, sniff) Ahh!! Pay attention to what you're cooking!!''
Airi wildly shouted, ''(Gasps) My omelet! (Frantic movements)'' Ami secretly thought, ''She's so joyful... and adorable like that... (Breath of relief) I pulled it off...''
Some time later, after dinner...
After our dinner, she sincerely read the manga with me on our sofa... It was tricksy to tell, but I think she got into the story. (Giggles) Before we were done reading the first volume, I fell asleep on the sofa...
When I awoke later, I had a blanket on me, that I didn't know... Hmm?
See you, next time!
