「ONE:」
Yashiro Nene | Sincerity

──── ･ Hearing nothing but silence, I continue to switch my gaze back and forth to all the undisturbed rooms which are still having classes. My right foot on top of the other. And my hands' fingers fidgeting with each other while on the desk, I suddenly sighed when I remembered the reason why I am here.

"Eh? Yashiro-san, why aren't you in class?" I was about to reminisce what happened earlier, when I switched my gaze to the ghost floating towards me with eyes filled with curiosity.

"U-Uhm. . ." It's embarassing, Hanako-kun. I slowly looked at The School Mystery No. 7 and saw that he's all focused on me now with also his head tilted at one side.

"Well?" He asked again, eager to hear my reason. I sighed before I answered him. "I am being punished, Hanako-kun." His expression turned even more confused after I answered him. While being baffled, I saw him floated around me with eyes moving in different directions as if he was observing me.

"W-What are you doing?--" I confusingly asked, a little dizzy after looking at him. He stopped infront of me again. But now his elbows were on the desk and his chin in between his palms. After he did this, our eyes are now at the same level. Although, the difference was his feet weren't on the ground unlike mine.

"Being seated on a chair with a single desk in the middle of these empty hallways is your punishment?" He asked as if he figured out what the punishment really was. I slowly switched my gaze away from him.

"Well not exactly--"

"Why were you even punished in the first place?" He suddenly asked making me unable to finish my sentence.

"Well I-I wasn't paying attention to class." I answered feeling a little nervous now, since he stared at me almost that he's not blinking anymore.

"So you were being punished by not being in it?" I slightly nodded. Although, what he figured out wasn't completely the punishment but he figured out a part of it.

"Well that's weird." I mentally agreed. My teacher really is weird sometimes. "What were you thinking about at that time?" He asked again. Making me finally remember the cause of the situation I'm in now.

"Oh! I saw something weird at the garden earlier---"

RINNNNGGGGGG!!

I didn't get to finish my statement when the school bell rang. Hanako-kun looked around as the empty hallways slowly gets filled with students. I frozed when realization hits me.

O-Oh no.

---

"Y-Yashiro-san, they're all staring at you."

I know Hanako-kun. I can see that. I moved my eyes around but not making my head move, at the different students pausing there actions as they saw me. Well, this is the other part of the punishment..

that Hanako-kun missed.

It was Embarrasment or can also be called Shame.

I guess our teacher was really annoyed at me for not paying attention at her class. Or maybe she was just really in a bad mood and I'm added to her frustration.

"What did she do now?"

"I heard Ms. Yamura found out her partner was cheating on her--"
