Chapter 32: From Tutor To Teacher

Hajime POV

"Mr Saito?" I opened the door as letters from multiple universities where delivered by a post man. "Yes, that's me." I said as he handed them to me. "Damn kid, those are a lot of letters. Good luck!" The man smiled and waved as he left to finished his shift. Closing the door behind me, I stared at the letters in my hand. My future is in my hands right now, I wonder if I got accepted to all of these schools.

"Hajime-Kun who was that?" My mother called from the kitchen. "Post man. I got many replies from different universities." I said as I came into the kitchen. "At home you speak in Japanese, how many times must I tell you." She scolded me. "You moved me here. It's your fault if I speak English more than Japanese now it's been over a year." I talked back to her.

She tsked and snatched the letters, "Yale! You got a letter from Yale! That's Ivy-League! Hajime!" She jumped excitedly. "You don't know they accepted them, that could be a letter of apology to say I haven't got in." I reminded her and she shook her head. "Open it." She handed it back to me, honestly I thought she would have opened it herself.

Tearing the top of the envelop off, the crisp white paper with the school badge fell into my hands, "Well what does it say?" She asked. "....I got in, I'm going to Yale." I said and called the letter calmly. "MY SONS GOING TO YALE THIS IS FANTASTIC IM SO PROUD OF YOU!" She hugged me suddenly.

Shock coursed through my entire system, her words playing over in my ear, "...Proud of me?" I stuttered confused. "Hajime that is one of the best schools in the world! Of course I'm damn proud! I expected it but I'm still proud of you!" She hugged me. "How about you invite your friends over and we can all go out to celebrate and I will pay for it all?" She offered.

"R-Really?" I stared wide eyed at her, "Yes of course!" She clapped her hands together and hugged me again. Who the hell is this woman? I began to laugh, "Well okay I will call them now." I said and ran upstairs to get my phone. "Hello Jason?" I said when he picked up. "Yo Hajime! What's up?" He asked.
"Come over tonight at like seven okay? Tell everyone, I have big news." I said and couldn't exactly stop the smile on my face.

"Will do! See you then!" He got off the call and texts began to come through on my phone as they guys heard and said they'd be here. Going to the bathroom, I got into the shower and chucked to myself. "Now what career path should I choose from here?" I wondered to myself. I loved tutoring, he made me realise that. No one should have been written off the way he was.

Tutoring....Teaching? Actually teaching would be brilliant, what level though? Middle school? High school? University? A professor even? Thoughts swarmed through my head as I got out, wrapping a towel around my waist a certain day flashed through my memory and I blushed.

Teaching....yeah that's definitely where I want to go. What subjects? History for definite, Physics maybe and I could teach Japanese since I'm fluent. "Hajime! Anywhere you want to in particular?" My mother called. "How about that nice place we went for Skylars birthday? What was it called..."

"Oh yes I remember! That sounds great! I'll call them now, wheat time is everyone coming at?" She asked outside my bedroom door, "Seven. So probably about half seven by the time we get there, plus Jason is ALWAYS late so yeah half seven." I said and she gave me an okay and left.

Pulling on boxers, I picked up a pair of black jeans and my blue shirt hung freshly ironed on a hanger. Staring at it, mixed emotions filled me; those memories will never leave me, nor will the fact that he was my first love but I promised Jason and my self that I will move on and I'm almost there.

Sliding the shirt over my shoulders, I buttoned it up, slinging a loose skinny black tie around my neck. Checking my phone I saw I had about an hour to kill sink decided to email the other universities and informing them I won't be attending their schools.

Once seven rolled around, the first to arrive was Connor and Seb, "Hey guys." I opened the door and let them in, "CALLED IT! BLUE SHIRT HA!" Seb laughed and Connor whined. "Damn it... Great I lost, thanks Hajime!" He said playfully and I chuckled. "What are you talking about?" I asked.

"Sebastian said you would wear your blue shirt. I said you might actually wear a different one but I lost our bet." He groaned and I laughed. "What do you have to do?" I asked and his face went red and he got flustered, "I-I w-w-well..." He scratched his neck and Seb laughed.

"I get to top tonight!" Seb laughed and my face went red. "Oh..."
Connor chuckled uneasily, "You had to ask." He covered his ace and I but my lip, "I regret asking." I said shortly. "Are you a bottom or top Hajime? I'd say bottom." Seb eyed me skeptically. "Seb! Shut up!" Connor cover his mouth, "Sorry." He said as the doorbell rang.

"It's okay." I laughed and opened the door to see Skylar and Sam, "Look who I met on the way here!" Sam grinned and pulled Skylar through the door. "So we're just waiting on-" I started but they cut me off.

"Jason." They chorused and I chucked. "Yep." Beige with could close the door, Ella butt through, "SEE WHY ARE WE ALWAYS LAST?!" Jason followed her through laughing. "Stop rushing!" He chuckled. "Well since everyone's here we can go, tonight's on my mother by the way." I said and they cheered.

"Free food!"

Once we were all seated in the restaurant, our food arrived and I announced it. "I'll be attending Yale University come Autumn." I said and Jason spat out his food as they other cheered. I was swamped in congratulations, good lucks and 'nerd' but it was all in good fun so I was laughing with them.

"I'm so proud of you dude! So what are you gonna do? Like your profession?" Jason asked me. Smiling I had made up my mind earlier, "I'm going to teach History, Physics, literature and Japanese." I informed them.

"Whoa you can do all that at once?" They asked shocked. I nodded, "Well I can, I only have to do a six month teaching course for Japanese since I'm fluent. History and Literature will be two three year courses and Physics I can do in a few years if I still want to. Yale have offered me all of these." I said as their mouths hung open.

"Is there anything you can't do? Congratulations!"

After I finish the last few weeks of Highschool, I will get my own apartment and move out of my mothers house. "Excuse me for a minute." I got up to go to the bathroom. Pushing open the bathroom door, a brown haired boy nearly bumped into me, "Opps! Sorry!" He moved to the side to let me through.

"Ah it's okay," I said as our eyes met, brown eyes... "Hey wait a sec. Japan right?" He grinned at me. "Yes, well it's Hajime actually." I informed the stranger and he smiled. "I'm Nyx, like the New York Nyx? Dad named me. Funny how we keep bumping into each other, huh?" He smiled at me.

My face heat up and I nodded, "Yeah it is." I replied. "Well I hope we meet again Hajime, I'll let you enjoy your night. See ya around hopefully." He smiled at me and I nodded completely flustered. "Uh bye Nyx." I said and he smiled. "Bye Hajime." He walked away and I went into the bathrr and threw water on my face.

Nyx huh...
