Warden's Daughter (Nanbaka AU)

Second and Lunch

We walked what felt like halfway to the other side of the school when we saw Samon waiting for us. I smirked because he wasn't looking. I'm guessing Kiji was reading my mind because he didn't say anything or do anything to sneeking up by Samon. "Hi, Lemur!" I said as I hugged him. He jumped and yelped slightly. I laughed as he turned around. "I hate you sometimes.", he said glaring at me playfully. "I know!" He shook his head as Kiji came up beside me. "You seriously didn't say anything?", Lemur asked. "Why not let her have some fun? After all I think you impressed the teacher in our last class." "What did she do?", he looked at Kiji then at me. "She was the first one to get the work done, under twenty minutes may I add, and she got a perfect mark." Kiji smiled and looked down at me. Lemur chuckled and patted my head. "I think that will show some of the inmates to not underestimate you." I smiled slightly. We heard the bell that signaled that the class before was over and to make your way over to the next class.

I went with Samon to our next class. When we got there Kenshirou was already there along with a few inmates. The teacher was arguing with an inmate about some paper they must have done. There where three inmates at the time and only two of them noticed me, but that is because the other one looked to be asleep. Samon and I walked over to the teacher and Samon talked to him. I didn't really pay attention because I already had an idea of what they were probably talking about. Well I also could focus with one of the inmates staring at me with hearts in his eyes. It was kinda creepy. After Samon and the teacher finished talking the teacher went over to his desk and motioned for me to follow as Samon went to sit in his seat. I found out that my teacher was referred to as Mr. Osinko. He informed the class that I would be a new student and let me introduce myself after the bell rang. I sat in my seat as another inmate walked though the door. The teacher yelled at him for being late and told him that he would have detention. The inmate didn't seem to care and just rolled his eyes. I'm guessing he was going to sit down and saw me. He seemed to pause for a second before returning to normal.

I sat beside the inmate that was asleep. Samon sat one back and to the right of me while Kenshirou sat one back and two to the left with the inmate that was late. The other two inmates sat to my left. It was a small class like the last one and didn't go much different from my first one when it came to school work. Though Mr. Osinko did want us to do more work, and had a sheet that we could either do now or later, but it would be due by tomorrow either way. Most of the inmates didn't do it and just talked. I heard a few of them talking about me but I didn't pay attention to it. Lemur, Kenshirou, and I were doing the paper. I knew they would because they already had enough work from their jobs. After I got the paperwork done I turned it in. Then I sat down to read my book. The inmate that was originally asleep by me was awake and doing the work. I could feel him looking at me from time to time. He didn't say anything, so I ignored him and continued to read.

After about ten to fifteen more minutes he turned in his paper. He laid his head down facing me. I could feel his stare as I read. "Your staring...", I whispered. He seemed to here me and blinked a few times. "Sorry, just wondering about the book you are reading." I looked at him. "You like books or just the subject of the book?" "More the subject. I find plants interesting and beautiful." I smiled and chuckled slightly, "If I could I would live in an area that is more akin to a forest." He smiled, "Jungles are filled with some many different types of plants... but also a lot of bugs." I looked at him more directly. "Some of those plants are important to certain plants, like the coco tree. It needs the ceratopogonidae to be pollinated and actually produce coco beans." "Ummm... you lost me at cearto... whatever you said." I smiled and giggled, "Ceratopogonidae are small flies that are so tiny it can be hard to see them. Since coco tree flowers are small, and not much room to them, they need small pollinators. The ceratopogonidae are the only thing that people have found that are small enough to pollinate coco trees that live in the area that they grow in. It's also why growing your own coco can be tricky." He stared at me then smiled. "You know a lot about plants and how some of then reproduce don't you?" I nodded as I stuck my nose back in my book. He did say anything else and turned his head the other way and fell asleep again.
