Otaku High?!

A Strange Realization

I sat in my normal spot in the middle of the first train car, twenty-one minutes before the train would even start to school.

Slowly, I began to see the other riders that I recognized from the last year of riding the train, but there were some that appeared to be in cosplay.

A Kakashi got on and sat across from me-- at least, his head looked like Kakashi's, anyway. The man across from myself was wearing a mask over the lower part of his face, and the Leaf Village headband was over his messy silver hair, covering one eye. I tried not to stare, fiddling with my brand-new school I.D. and Stein keychain, but slowly felt my face turn red as the lookalike turned in my direction.

By then, the train had started moving, and stopped at every platform, picking up both regular morning passengers and cosplayers. I tried to avoid eye contact by pretending to read my Otaku USA magazine, but "Kakashi" decided he wanted to start a conversation.

"Excuse me, miss, but do you attend Central High School?" He leaned forward, gesturing to the I.D. attached to my lanyard.

I nodded, not saying a word as I pretended to read. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw the man smile and hold out a gloved, yes he even wore the gloves, hand.

"Hatake Kakashi. I'm the school's new principal. Nice to meet you." I tried not to let my jaw drop as I shook his firm hand.

Still silent, and face still red, the train reached my stop, and I stood.I didn't really want to be rude, but I didn't exactly want to miss my stop, either. He stood as well, and we went our seperate ways. Though I knew I'd most likely see him again soon.

As I stepped off the platform, I could see that most of this year's new students were dressed as many familiar characters.

Raven and Leslie came running up to me, yelling and pointing all around. Soon they just exclaimed at the same time, "CHECK YOUR CLASS SCHEDULE!!!"

I pulled the folded paper out of my coat pocket and did as they told me:

1st: French; Bonnefoy, Francis

2nd: Biology; Stein, Franken

3rd: Advisory; Albarn, Spirit

4th: Lunch

5th: Maths; Michaelis, Sebastian

6th: English; Kirkland, Arthur

7th: P.E.; Beilschmidt, Ludwig

I stared at the paper, not believing my eyes. Raven and Leslie peered over my shoulder as I groaned.

"I got Phys. Ed.?! What the frig?!!" This caught them by surprise.

"Look at the teachers, dipshit." Raven put a finger on my schedule, pointing at the teachers' names collumn.

"Oh. Ooooh. Oh frig. GREAT MOTHER OF CRONA!" I couldn't help freaking out. It seemed that my wish had come true.

"Brother, I think she finally figured it out." Leslie fixed her beanie.

"Indeed, Brother." Raven pushed her glasses up on her nose.

The five minute bell rang, and I ran from the duo to the closest set of stairs. "Gotta go, bye! I have to check something!!" I ran to the Biology room, opening it and glancing in. Funny, nobody hear yet.

Suddenly something rolled into me, my attacker and I both crashing to the floor. I hear a familiar groan, and blushed red. In front of me sat the love of my anime life, Professor Franken Stein.

He quickly came over to me, making sure I was okay from his crash landing and frantically apoloizing. I was trying so hard not to fangirl right then and there; he was looking into my eyes and carressed my cheek, trying to get my attention.

I heard a familiar voice call from the door. "Injuring students already, Stein?" The voice belonged to Alucard, of the anime Hellsing.

He came in, picking me up bridal-style anf holding my body away from my love of a teacher. "The year hasn't even begun yet, Stein. At least wait for the bell to ring before choosing victims."
