I'm In Love With My Substitute Teacher! (Teacher/student relationship)

The wind blew swiftly as the cherry blossoms fall gracefully to the ground, having the glimpse of color pink everywhere. It’s a nice view, it relaxes my mind. I love sitting here in the school’s field, where I could think straight and appreciate the wonderful view and to forget those painful feelings of loneliness. 

     “Yumiko, sorry were late” Kana apologized, smiling while holding her lunch.

     “It’s my fault, It took me long to change clothes” Hero said, looking desperately apologetic to Kana.

    “No it’s not, it’s my fault for tripping” She said, staring at Hero’s eyes.

But before Hero could say a word, I cut the two of them off.

   “Enough apologizing, geez , why do you have to do that in front of me?” I said half joking.

They both laugh. They sat next to each other sweetly and ate their lunches with me. Kana and Hero are both my bestest friends. We grew up together since we were still toddlers. I think it was only last year when Hero finally confessed his feelings to Kana, and then she turned up liking him too. It was romantic, by the way and I am very happy for them. 

     “Hey Yumi, I heard that some guy confessed to you again. So how did it turned out?” Hero asked, chewing his food.

     “The usual.” I answered, not very interested.

     “Poor guy. I pity him” Hero said as he shook his head in disbelief.

     “Oh dear, I don’t want you to grow up being all alone” He added.

     “Mind your own business, jerk” I rolled my eyes and continued eating my food.

By the looks of it, maybe I would grow old and alone. How sad life is. It’s not that I don’t want to have any relationships; it’s just that I still can’t find “Him”. True love. Should I believe in it or should I not? But I am still young aren’t I? So why not enjoy my youth happily? Come to think of it, should it be more fun if I have someone to share it with? Haaa. Yumiko, relax, don’t rush things. God has his own ways.

     “Good afternoon class. I have an announcement to make so settle down. As you can see, I am almost at my birth month, and I’ll be having a maternity leave starting today.” Mrs. Fujikawa announced, her hands, caressing her tummy. It was very heartwarming to look at.

     “And so there will be a substitute teacher. I’ll be introducing him to you now, but first, you should all promise that you will behave.” She added as she called the substitute teacher.

     “Hello, I am Daichi Yamada, I’ll be substituting in place of Mrs. Fujikawa.” He introduced himself and bowed.

The class was silent for a moment, shocked by the looks of him. He was a good-looking guy, and his face, so young you can’t even tell that he’s a teacher. After the moment of silence, the girls started to scream, they were like being pinched by needles and it started to hurt my ears.
