WRONG AFTERLIFE, tbhk ✓

Can you see me now?

.•*•.

A nervous wreck.

That's what you are right now.

Until now, your poor heart is still hammering into your chest after that encounter with Yashiro yesterday.

Especially at what Hanako said.

"She can clearly see me anyway~!"

His statement that doomed you keep echoing throughout your brain.

You know you messed up.

It was loaded even more when you suddenly bolted out of the restroom without another word, stiffly waving at Yashiro with an uneasy tight smile as you made your exit.

That idiotic actions of yours will definitely heighten Hanako's words to be confirmed.

'I should've act cool and smoothly bid her goodbye instead but...!'

You groan, slumping on your seat and hiding your face behind the math textbook you're reading.

'I can't help it! Particularly if Hanako's eyeing me like that with a grin!'

"Ms. L/N, what's the matter with you?"

Startled by the deep booming voice of your teacher, you quickly sit up straight. "Nothing, Tsuchigomori-sensei."

Under his narrowed eyes, you hardly swallowed.

"Hmm... stand up." You timidly do what the two-toned teacher says. His lips formed into a straight line, which is definitely not good.

"What is permutation then?"

'AaaAaaHhhh, I wanna bury myself alive now!'

In your head, you can hear the blaring alarms and red lights rapidly blinking. You look at the blackboard, avoiding the teacher's intense stare.

Despite the turmoil occuring in your brain, you remained calm. "It is an arrangement of all or parts of a set of object with proper order...?"

The vehemence in his eyes remains, but at least it diminishes. Nodding, he confer another question.

"How can you determine permutation?"

Aha, fuck.

The last three brain cells exerts their effort to dug out the bits of information you learned in real world.

Biting your lip, you open your mouth. "It... it can be determined by listing, using table... uh..." you trailed off.

"...Tree diagramming, and by using the fundamental counting principle..."

His face shows fascination, the corner of his lips barely twitch up. "Very well, you may take your seat now"

Heaving out the air you're straining the whole time, you slump back to your chair. Your legs feels like jelly.

'Tsuchigomori may be hot but he sure is intimidating when he's serious.' you sweat drops.

~~~

The lesson come to an end a few minutes ago. You were thankful that Tsuchigomori didn't grill you again.

Maybe you made him satisfied with your answer?

For the meantime, you're patrolling the hallways of the building, making sure that students are in their respective rooms.

The elder Minamoto could've done this, but he's quiet busy inside the student council room with stacks of paperwork.

But being an amiable and responsible second in command you are, you take place over.
