                                              The cosine of A is...
                          School has begun again. It's always around this same time of year that I think about her. The one listed under "B" locked inside of my phone. 
                          "Any volunteers to finish the problem?"
....
Of course nobody raises their hand. Who would want to? 
                           I raise my hand.
                          "Oh, Hibeki! Again? We can't just let Hibeki do all of the work you know!"
                          Then why don't you force someone else to do it?! The only reason I ever volunteer is to uphold my hot and cool image and because I know the answer.
                          "It's fine Sensei. Give us a break. High school life isn't all about studying. Right, everyone?!"
                          "Mhm mhm!!" Agreed the class.
                          "I guess you have a point there." 
                          Hahah. As suspected of me. The teach fell for it. I looked back at the class and winked. They knew I had their backs and I had theirs.
                          "Then-"
                          *knock knock
                          The class fell silent. 
                          "Who is it?"
                          The door opened up just a crack. I peeked to see who it was.
                          "Huh..? Oh YEAH!! Um, Hibeki could you get the door while I look for some papers." Sensei asked. He rummaged through some papers in his binder and on the desk.
                          "Sure." I obliged.
                          I creeped over to the door and tried to pull it open but to my dismay, it was stuck? 
                          Hughhhh!! Ugnhh! hhhhhuhhh!
                          What the? It's not stuck?!! The person behind the door wouldn't let me open it. 
                          The class was just staring at me.
                          "Oi Hibeki?! Need some help getting that there door open?" Shouted Ken. 
                          "No I'm fine." I smiled back.
                          Hugh ugh!  Woaahhh! Using all my might, I pulled it open at last. The door went swinging back because i pulled so hard.
                          "Wha-.." 
                          "Hibeki-San be more careful! You might've hurt our new student." Cried Sensei.
                          "Wait wait wait!!"
                          "What's wrong?"
                          "There's nobody there."
                          "Haha don't be silly."
                          He finally turned around and looked out the door into the hallway. He closed it then opened it again. Huh? It was like he was hoping they'd magically appear again.
                          "Ah you're right! There's nobody there."
                          The whole class stared at our teacher in disdain. 
                          OF COURSE THERE'S NOBODY THERE.
                          "Well let's just continue with the lesson then."
                          "Wait! Sensei shouldn't somebody chase after the new student? What if they get lost or something?" Asked Marina.
                          "No no. I'm sure they'll manage on their own. After all, I personally know our new student." Said Sensei.
                          "OKAY! Hibeki sit down and everyone else, listen up, because this Thursday will be the test."
                          "EHHH!?" Cried the class.
                          I walked back to my brown seat and brown desk covered in eraser shavings. I continued to stare out the window. When will class be over? And who is this new student? What's wrong him?
