|Yukis POV|

I love taking the first school bus. Only a few elderly people ride on this bus. Because this bus arrived much earlier than the other.

The bus arrived at my school, I'm still waiting for my girlfriend. It was a cold autumn day and my fingers were very cold. It maked my skin really dry.

And there she came,ran up happily. She was always so positive and knew how to cheer me up. I've known her since kindergarten and she meant a lot to me.

,,Hey Sweetie how
was the Bus ride?''.

,,very nice, thank you''

She took me in to her arms. She smelled so sweet. Than we decided to enter the school together.

---------------------------------------------------------

My first lesson was English. I didn't hate this subject but I didn't like it either. I even think I was the worst in English in my whole year. However, the teacher was quite nice.

,,Hey Saiki,how was
your weekend?''

Asahi called to me as he stormed into the classroom. Asahi was my best friend and often hung out with me and my girlfriend Miyu.

I liked them both a lot.

---------------------------------------------------------

When the doorbell rang at the hour, I was a little scared. Our English teacher always asks a student what he knows about the last lesson.

And of course I would have no idea.

I just hoped my name wouldn't come up.

"So my dear students let's see what is still stuck in your heads"
,,Yuki?''

It was actually clear with my bad luck that I had to do this today. I got up and just stuttered to myself.

,,I- I mean we talked-
ehhhh about-'

The whole class just stared at me questioningly. I started to shiver slightly. I just noticed how I didn't say anything more. It felt so excruciatingly long. I just wanted to sit down again and say nothing more. However, I stood there and played nervously with my fingers. I am nowhere as bad as in English. It's just embarrassing what happened there.

"No,that's hopeless. Please
sit down again Yuki ''

I slowly sit back in my seat and no longer look ahead. The teacher took someone else and I was free from this situation for now.

After that lesson the teacher wanted to talk to me about it.

,,You are not bad
at Latin or French.
Then what's the problem
in English? ''.

,,I don't know.
I'm sorry''.

,,Oh kid. So you know
what, I could help you.
Maybe you will understand
it when a teenager like you
will explain it to you.
I could ask my best student
if he wants to help you.
How does that sound?''

,,It is worth a try''

---------------------------------------------------------

I was just on my way to the big break and thought to myself if it was a good decision to accept this offer.

I was probably a little too absorbed in myself to look ahead. I accidentally bumped into someone and said roughly.

"Can't you pay attention
where you're going?''

It wasn't very smart to have said that.
There were two third graders in front of me. As a second grader, I should have said sorry.

,,Oh I'm extremely
sorry.I didn't
mean it that way''

One was already ready to beat me up. However, the other held him back and said to me.

,,Pretty brave Yuki
I'd rather keep my head up
if I were you ''

As he said this, he put his finger under my chin and kept my head to his face.
