A Thousand Rejections

chapter 4: the triangle began

My seat is next to izumi's. I can tell he's watching me. Focus on the teach. Only the teach. "Ms.Shoma would you care to answer what's on the board. Come up here." I get up and walk over. He hands me a piece of chalk, I take it into my hand and start to write. This minus this divided by that is the square root of this plus that equals 43. I finish and walk back to my seat, without looking at izumi. I can feel him death staring at me. "Psst yukina. Look at me." I turn my head a little to see worry in his eyes. "What wrong with you, izumi?" I was a bit scared to see him like that. "Where were you? What were you doing? Who were you with?" He starts rapidly firing questions. "Okay well. I was sitting. Doing a guys hair and I was with akria toya. Are those all of your questions?" I was getting very irritated with him. Why does he care? "No that's not all. Who's akria to you?" I turn away so he can't see my face. "He's the product of our promise.*grin* you do remember that, right?" Suddenly a grin is forming on my mouth. He seems confused, embarrassed and angry all in one. "How did you find someone so quickly?" We're going off course. "Ahem! Are you two done? I have a class to run here so pay attention!" The teacher seems angry to so both of us turn and face forward. After classes akria and izumi are waiting for me at the entrance. Both look angry. What did you do izumi?
