[UPDATED]
Palette P.O.V
The bell rang signal for next period, the class stand up, Mr. Ink smile
"Ok good job everyone. I'll see you tomorrow"- he said as he walks out of the class. The students sit down and the chatter started to get louder, Pj grunted
"Can't take a nap?"- Goth asks. Pj grunts again, "Guess I was right"- he smiles
"Because of the freaking math homework, that's why!"- Pj said,"The homework has too much problems, keep me up until midnight!"
"I didn't ask why though..."- Goth said, smirking,"But it was easy, right?"
"Yeah"- that's was Pj answer. Goth looks out the class window
"It seems we have a substitute today, Mr. Cray again"- Goth said, Pj grunts even louder and mumble something. As for me, I look where Goth looking at, I see a person looking very mature started to walk into the classroom, that person is Cray? Goth's best friend? Wow, Goth must be something so he can be a best friend with him.... Wait! There's something is off
"Wait Goth"- Goth looks at me
"If you say that-"- my voice being cut off when I hear the door open and the class fall into silent immediately
"Good morning everyone, Mrs. Toriel is sick and excuse for today so I'm gonna be your substitute. This is not my first time being substituted here in this class, so I should expect all of you know my rule and behave"- I see his eyes are look directly at me, his eye (sockets) are so sharp and somehow cold(?), that send me a shiver down my spine, no one in the class move or speak any words, this is so...so AWKWARD!
"Hmm? I don't remember see you in this class before and where's your uniform?"- he asks making me jump in my seat even I did nothing guilty. Come on, Palette, do something, fast!
"Umm, no, sir. I-I'm new here, t-this is my first day..."- I stand up, finally speak. I can bearly look at him in the eye (sockets)
"When you talk with me. Please look at me in the eyes and no stutter when talking. Can you do that?"- I hear him asks
I try my best to look up at him, but I do admit one thing, he was handsome, though (LOL Palette 🤣)
"Yes sir"- I answer
"Good, let see if you can keep it like that. "What's your name, new student?"- he asks
"My name is Palette"- I said, try not to stutter
"Palette Roller, correct?"- I hear him asks. Wait? How did he knows my last name? I mean, he just only substitutes for this class and....and I remembered I never met or talked with him before?! Right?! Even I'm drowning in my curiosity, I still try to act naturally
"Yes, sir"- I answered, I can hear some students whispering something but only to be silent by Mr. Cray's glare
"My name is Cray, a Prefect Royal student but for now I just substitute for this class. Nice to meet you anyway. Please take a seat"- I can hear his soften, not harsh from earlier, I can hear some whispering again from some of the students. Mr. Cray clear his throat, signal them to be quiet as I sit back down
"Alright, beside Mr. Roller. I need to check all of your homework that Mrs. Toriel gave you from yesterday and put it on this desk so I can grade them"- Mr. Cray said as he gives the teacher table a small pat, "And while waiting me to grade all of them, please read section 4.5 in your textbook, I'm going to go through more details later. Please make it happen!"
The students started to get their homework on the desk, so does Goth and Pj and then go back to their seat after that. Goth reaches out for his backpack again and pull out a textbook, he soon notice me sitting there awkwardly
"Oh, here, you can share with me"- Goth said as he gently push the book to my side a little so I can take a look at it, I drag my chair closer to him
"Why the hell you care for him so much? You like him or something?"- I hear Pj asks, that question makes my face fluster
"Pfft, what are you talking about? Isn't helping new student is wrong?"- Goth asks, raising an eyebrow at him
"Tch! You ain't fun to joke around at all!"- Pj said as he turns his attention back at the book. Me and Goth are just read in silent but it so hard for me to concentrate because of how close Goth is, how can I read with him when he is so close to me?! But I don't have a text book so guess I have no choice. After Mr. Cray finishes grading the homeworks, he start the new lesson, even though his talking is harsh but the way he teaches is very clear, I understand very quickly but the only problem is every times he turns away from the board, I can feel his gaze on me like he's going to eat me or something, I didn't do anything wrong, right? Right now Mr. Cray is writing a problem on the board, he had call some of the students but most of them don't really get the answer
"Hmmm, it seem this problem is kinda tricky to you huh? But let me call one more person..."- Oh Star, his eyes are on me again
"Mr. Roller?"- he calls me
"Yes?"- I quickly stand up
"Can you solve this problem, please?"- he asks
"Yes!"- I get out of my seat and walk to board, holding the chalk up from the counter, read the problem carefully and started to write the answer. To be honest, even this problem is tricky but not too much
"Hmm, not bad~"- I hear him said, earning some "Oh!" of neither understanding or impress from the class. Oh star, oh star! Mr. Cray is just a teacher but why is he keep making me feel a feeling that I can't really tell! I feel my face is heating up again. Wait! There's no way I can have a thing for him! Or am I? I don't really know....But I finish the problem after that, put down the chalk with full of pressures, not because of the Math problem, but because of him!
"Good job! Mr. Roller"- Mr. Cray said as he walk toward me to pick up a chalk nearby on the counter, just exactly the one I just used even though there's a lot of the chalks on the right side of the counter of where he stand before he comes to me, maybe he didn't notice? No way! The chalks are over there, clear as day! But wait, why do I have to think so much about it?! It just a chalk!
"What's the matter, Mr. Roller? You have any questions?"- Mr. Cray asks, somehow I see his face fluster a little
"Uh... no nothing sir!"- I said panicking, how long have I standed here?!
I see him slightly smirking but quickly lower afterward
"Then please go back to your seat!"- he said, still full of commanding
"Yes!"- I said, hurry back to my spot as I hear some students giggling
"Good job Palette!"- Goth whispers as he smile at me
"T-thank you!"- I blush and smile at him as I sit down
"And just so you don't know. This problem that you guys are considered "tricky" is an extra credit for the text next week according to what Mrs. Toriel said to me, so Mr. Roller, congratulations!"- Mr. Cray said
The class "Aw!" in disappointment, I just simply sit there and nod at him. After that, we are reviewing for the test next week but since I'm new here so it's kind of hard to catch up, just then I feel someone poking me, turns out it was Goth with a little note pass to me, I slide it to my side, it said
"If you don't understand something, I can help you catch up during break"
I smile as I reply his note and pass back to him
"Thank you 😊"
The rest of the class goes out alright until the bell ring again
"Alright everyone, have a nice break"- Mr. Cray said, everyone get out the classroom and Mr. Cray still remain here on the teacher desk. Pj also slowly get up from his spot, ready to leave
"See ya later Pj"- Goth said
"See you later"- I also said
Pj nods and wave at us, "Yeah, see you...". Mr. Cray then holds him back talks with him for a while about his injuries and then Pj said goodbye to Mr. Cray and leave. Now only me, Goth and Mr. Cray are in the class. I see Mr. Cray is also slowly get up from his desk and walk tiredly out of class, it makes me a little worry about him
"Is Mr. Cray alright?"- I look at Goth
"What do you mean?"- he asks
"Because I've noticed his face was fluster earlier, so I don't know if he...."- I said
"Cray's gonna be ok. Don't worry about him too much, he has his butler always go with him so you don't need to, he knows how to take care of himself....So where do you want to start with our review Palette?"- Goth asks
"I think I can start from here..."- I said
"Ok, then let's get this going"- he said
Cray P.O.V
I wished that I could stay for a while to watch Palette and hear his cute voice but my sickness won't let me so I leave even without saying goodbye to Goth. Right now, I'm laying on my bed in my room, thinking about that Palette Roller student... Palette Roller, I heard about this name before, but I just can't remember where or when did I hear that, and my mouth slip out that kid last name is totally..... I don't know, it cannot be call an accident, or maybe I can wish that I have a chance to become roommate and Study Buddy with him so I can know him better and just like God heard my pray (eyyy, got it?).... My wish was granted
Le time skip
Palette P.O.V
Me and Goth just hang out in the library since Goth has got a text from Mr. Cray that said he won't be here for the "Buddies Choice" period but with no reason why. Goth is now reading while I finish the drawing this morning, I keep on focusing on it until
"What are you drawing?"- Goth asks making me jump and quickly close my sketch book
"N- nothing"- I said
"You're lying"- he said, "You keep hiding it from the morning until now..."
"..... I'm not done yet, but you don't show me yours"- I said
"But my drawing is not that good..."- he said
"Then I won't show you"- I said, pouting
"Heheh, well then how about this, tomorrow if you're done, you'll show yours and I'll show mine!"- he said
"Ok but you have to show yours first. Deal?"- I ask, hold my pinky in front of him
"Deal!"- he said as we pinky swear each other. After the last period ended, Goth helps me again takes me to the headmaster's office for the meeting
"Ok Goth, I can take care of myself from here"- I said
"Are you sure?"- he asks
"Yeah, really. Thank you so much for helping me today. I don't really know what to do without you"- I said
"No problem at all Palette. It's a pleasure to help you"- he smiles at me,"Well then I see you tomorrow, bye Palette"- he waves as he takes his leave, I wave back at him. He is so nice, I gotta do something to thank him, but what to do? Hmm.... Maybe I can decide later, but for now let's head to the office. I stop myself again at the huge door and push it open. Again Mr. Andrew, Mr. Toby are here but now with a middle aged woman, wearing kinda like a maid wear, standing behind them
"Hello again Palette!"- Mr. Andrew said with a smile,"How was your first day of this Academy?"
"Very good, Mr. Andrew"- I answer
"Awesome to hear that, Palette, so as I said this morning, we will now first get your uniform. Ms. Nancy, can I see the uniform?"- the woman steps in front and hands Mr. Andrew a plastic package that have my uniform in there, he takes the pack from her
"Here you go"- he said as he hands it to me, I take it,"And now, it's time for your Study Buddy but unfortunately he cannot comes so I have Ms. Nancy here to take you there"- I turn to look at her and back at him. Ohhhh, maybe that's why she's here...
"You have any questions before you go?"- I hear Mr. Andrew ask
"No sir"- I answer
"Ok good. So you're done for now, have fun at the Academy and study hard with your Study Buddy and good luck!"- he said as Ms. Nancy started to leads me to the very fancy building that claim to be The Royal Student School and through the boys dorm and to room 103. Ms. Nancy knocks on the door
"Who is it?"- there's a tired response from the other side. Wait, this voice sounds familiar
"I'm Nancy and I'm here with your roommate"- Ms. Nancy answers
"Ok, let he come in, you can go now, Ms. Nancy"- Ms. Nancy nods and leaves
"Come on in roommate!"- the person said, I grab the door knob and turn it. When I push the door open to see.... It was Mr. Cray?!
Mr. Cray sits up from the bed, looks at me with the same surprise expression....
Wait! Is this for real?! I didn't ask for this!
Mr. Cray looks at me and gets off the bed, the look of surprise disappear and replace with a smirk
"Oh~Welcome new roommate~"- he said. I just stand there, in silence....
