Inlove with my Gangster Teacher

Chapter 84: Summer Break Chaos

It was finally the day of the beach trip. Yankumi was all set and ready to go, wearing a casual summer outfit – a loose, striped button-up shirt tucked into high-waisted, distressed jeans that hugged her frame comfortably, strappy brown sandals, a wide-brimmed straw hat with a ribbon band and with a large backpack slung over her shoulder. She double-checked everything—snacks, sunscreen, first aid kit—making sure she was fully prepared.

When she stepped outside, she was immediately greeted by Fujiyama-sensei, wearing a breezy off-the-shoulder white dress with eyelet lace trimming the ruffled sleeves and hem, and Kobayashi-sensei, dressed in a loose, button-up shirt with rolled-up sleeves, tucked slightly into beige pleated shorts.

"Wow, Yamaguchi-sensei, you actually look like you're going on vacation for once," Fujiyama teased with a smirk.

"Of course! I have to be responsible since I'm in charge of my students!" Yankumi puffed out her chest proudly.

"That would be more convincing if you weren't sweating bullets from excitement," Kobayashi said with a laugh.

Meanwhile, her students were already gathered at the meeting spot, buzzing with excitement. Some were showing off their swimwear, while others were arguing over who would win in a beach volleyball match.

Just then, Shin arrived, looking effortlessly cool as always. He walked up to Yankumi, eyeing her up and down before smirking.

"You sure you're not more excited about this trip than your students?" he asked.

Yankumi pouted. "What are you talking about? I'm their teacher! This is just part of my job!"

Shin raised an eyebrow. "Right... Sure it is."

Before Yankumi could argue back, the students spotted them and ran over.

"Yankumi-sensei, let's go already!" Itsuo shouted.

"Yeah! We don't wanna waste a single second!" Samejima added.

Yankumi sighed, shaking her head with a smile. "Alright, alright! Everyone, get on the bus!"

With that, the group excitedly boarded the bus, ready for an unforgettable beach trip.

------------------------------

The bus was already on its way to the beach, cruising down the highway with the sound of excited chatter filling the air. Yankumi, ever the responsible teacher, was sitting at the front, checking names on her list to make sure no one was missing.

Meanwhile, at the back of the bus, Saiga's group was whispering amongst themselves.

Tawara leaned in and muttered, "Seriously, what is Yankumi-sensei thinking? That outfit is all wrong for a beach trip."

Itsuo nodded in agreement. "Yeah! Who in their right mind wears jeans to the beach? At least wear some shorts or something."

Samejima, however, had his attention elsewhere. He glanced a few seats ahead, where Shin was sitting casually, one arm resting on the window while scrolling through his phone.

"Man... but look at Sawada-senpai. He looks cool without even trying," Samejima commented, shaking his head. "How does he do that?"

Tawara smirked. "Because he's Sawada Shin. Even if he wore jeans to the beach, people would still think he's stylish."

Saiga, who had been silent until now, sighed and rubbed his temple. "You guys are missing the point. Why are we even talking about this?"

Itsuo shrugged. "Because it's fun to gossip, duh."
