Chapter 5: Sh*t

GIYUU POV

I was riding the bus together with my students. We're heading to the resort where we will hold our annual retreat and career advancement program for all the graduating high school students. I took out the leaflet and ran through the program.

Hmm, so lunch, check in, an hour and a half break and a presentation from three of the alumni. I didn't pay attention to the names. Day 2 would start at 7:00 am, wow, there are a lot of activities for tomorrow. Can't wait for Day 3 where we have the whole day to spend any way we want.

Our bus was the first to arrive at the resort, I asked the students to gather their things and line up. The others arrived as well, and we all entered the resort. The students ate their lunch while we checked them in the reception. We then joined the students and ate our lunch also.

The others, especially Mitsuri, were acting really shady and sus. They kept on checking their phones and exchanging looks. I sighed, they are probably planning some dumb prank again. I can't believe we're not yet past these shenanigans.

"Kamado, Hashibira and Agat-", they were already in front of me, I handed the card key to Tanjiro, "you three will be staying together, I really don't want to but I think it's for the best". I don't want other students to be influenced by their ever so high energies.
"Kanzaki and Tsuyuri" I continued.
"Shinazugawa, Tokito and Tokito" I looked at the rest of my class. "Okay, now that you have your card keys, head over to your room, rest and freshen up a little bit. Be sure to be at the function hall by 4pm."

We teachers don't share rooms with anyone so I'm really looking forward to having an hour of sleep without any disturbance. That's until I heard Tengen from the balcony from the other room. Tengen was flamboyantly showing the view to his wives. I sighed. Oyakata-sama was always gracious to us, he allowed all of us to bring our families whenever there was a trip. But I've never brought anyone ever since I became a teacher. I mean, I have no one to bring anyway.

I was able to doze off for almost an hour and then I decided to head out at the beach to feel the breeze.

Some students were also there, so I reminded them that they needed to be back at the resort.

As I continued my stroll, I saw a female student dipping her toes in the water. I walked towards her and heard her sniffing. Is she crying? I sighed, I'm not really good with this stuff but there's no teacher available here to talk to her.

"Hey." I startled her that she got up so fast, she tripped. I caught her in my arms. And I just stared at her, not knowing what to say. After a few seconds, I straightened her up.

"You should be going back to the resort; the program is about to start." She didn't answer and she looked like she's about to cry again. I sighed. Great!

"Fine, cry it out first then go inside. I'll be staying here to make sure nothing happens to you." Kids this day, you just can't trust them on their own.

She grabbed my shirt and cried in front of me. Well, this is awkward. I heard a gasp behind me but paid no attention.

"Hey, it's already 3:56 pm, we should really be going back." I took out my phone and messaged Kanae, if I'm not mistaken, she's her student. She let go of me. Thankfully. And went to sit in the sand again. I can't really deal with this. My phone beeped and I read Kanae's message, 'Oh, thank God! I was just looking for her. Her little brother got into an accident and is at a hospital. Can you stay with her for a bit until she's fine to go back? You can both enter on the teacher's side, so you won't attract any attention.'

I sighed; I really don't want to but what else can I do? This is my profession. I chose this.

We stayed there for almost an hour, none of us were talking. I just let her cry on her own while I stare at the setting sun. Suddenly, my phone started beeping non-stop. Everyone was messaging me, from messenger, to whatsapp to viber.

Where are you?
You have to be back?
I'm telling you man, you have to come here!
What the actual fuck? Why are you not here?
What the hell are you doing?
You better pray for when I see you, I'll beat you up!

And so many more. I don't understand, Kanae should explain to them that I'm with her student. Or maybe they're bored already and want to prank me. Well, they can wait.
I just typed, I'm with Kanae's student at the beach. Who is having a crisis, but I did not type the latter one because I just don't want to.

My phone beeped again and again and again. I just sighed. The student finally looked up, "Oh sorry sensei! I took so much of your time!" I just nod at her. We walked towards the resort. My phone continued to beep, it's quite embarrassing.

"Sorry again sensei, you must have wanted to see your sister and her presentation." Huh? What does she mean? I do have a sister but she's not an alumnus of the school. She walked past me, and I just stared at her, processing what she just said.

From the back pocket, I took out the leaflet again and scanned through the names.

Shit.
