From Intern To Lover - An Obamitsu Love story

Chapter 1: Start Of An Internship

Mitsuri's Pov

I couldn't believe it when that man offered me a place to work. I thought my chances of securing a job would be out the window after that last place fired me. I fixed my hair before hesitantly entering the school, millions of things running through my mind at once.

"What if my new colleges think I'm weird? What if they don't like me? What if I do the wrong things? What if I make a complete fool of myself Infront of the students?!"

All these questions slightly brought my mood down as I made my way to Mr. Ubuyashiki's office.

"Is this it...?" I find myself looking at a wooden door that had a different feel compared to the doors of each classroom. This one enormous door had to have been the entryway to the office. It perfectly suits the status of such an important figure of this school. But of course, only I was caught up in such a delusion...

Upon closer inspection, I came to find out that the door I thought was the very important principles office, was no more than a janitor's closet. I hung my head in shame as I slowly walked through the halls of this complex school. It's a good thing that there were no student's here at the moment, but I knew that would only be temporary.

I took out my phone to check the time. There's only about an hour left until student's would start flooding the building.

"Ah! I need to hurry!"

I rush through the halls in a panic still allowing my unreliable internal navigation to lead me. I believe that 20 minuets had passed as I searched this school to the best of my ability.

I look up and find myself looking at the same old janitors' closet for the fourth time. I stand there frozen for a brief moment thinking about how much of a failure I am. My mind went into full drive as I envisioned myself being fired for the 37th time this year.

"Am I really this much of a failure... Can't I do anything right...?" I thought to myself while tears slowly ran down my cheeks.

As I got lost into my world of disappointment, I hear a faint voice. The voice called out my name multiple times before I snapped back to reality. I looked up and saw a face that completely shocked me. Never again did I think I would see such a familiar face, not to mention it being in a place like this.

"Rengoku-san?!" I yelled in shock.

He laughed at my sudden outburst; I could tell that he was happy to see me, and so was I.

"I knew it was you the moment I saw your hair!" He said in a cheerful tone. "To think that you were the intern that Mr. Ubuyashiki spoke about!"

"It feels like it's been forever since I last saw you! How have you been?" I asked him.

Rengoku and I chat for a little while until I remembered. I still don't know where in this maze of a school the main office is located. Rengoku then questions me on what I'm still doing in the hallway.

Apparently, Mr. Ubuyashiki has been waiting for me to arrive. Hearing this news shook my soul and I stay quiet. My head is refilled with scenarios of me being fired from this school before I even get the chance to start working. I can feel the tears making their way back to my eyes and down my face.

The brief moment of happiness I felt seeing my senior vanished as I thought about being fired. I couldn't continue the conversation with Rengoku due to the disappointment I felt from my inability to find the main office.

"Kanroji?" He called my name in concern.

I've never really heard him speak in such a low tone of voice before. Anytime he's spoken to me before, he always spoke really loudly due to an accident that almost fully destroyed both of his ear drums.
