The Ghost Within BOOK 2⃣

Chapter 7

Miwa High school, Kyoto [8:00AM]

{Hide}-[walks into the staff room]

{Teacher 1}-[gossips to another teacher]” He’s the new teacher I told you about yesterday.”

{Teacher 2}-[shocked]” How does a new teacher change the mind sets of the 1st years in just one day?”

{Teacher 1}-” I wonder myself.”

{Teacher 2}-[gets up]” Hey Mr. New guy.”

{Teacher 1}-[whispering]” What are you doing Stephanie?”

{Hide}-[snubs her]

{Stephanie}-[walks up to Hide]” Nanami is it?”

{Hide}-[turns his face away]

{Stephanie}-” Heyy I’m talking to you, you know at least answer.”

{Teacher 1}-[quickly gets up to pull away Stephanie]” Stop it.”

{Stephanie}-[shocked]” What?”

{Hide}-[tries getting up]

{Stephanie}-[getting a closer view on Hide’s face]” Lee!!!!”

{Hide}-[walks away]

[12:12PM]

{Hina}-[having lunch alone under the shade.”

{Yami}-[startles Hina]” Mei-Chan!!”

{Hina}-” Oh Yami!”

{Yami}-[emotional]” So you still remember my name from yesterday’s class. Is this what they call true love?”

{Classmate}-[knocks Yami on his head]” Get out you ogre.”

{Yami}-[annoyed]” Shut up Blondie bitch.”

{Hina}-[speechlessly looks at them both]

{Classmate}-[angry]” What did you call me?”

{Yami}-[runs behind Hina]” Help me Mei.”

{Hina}-” Me??”

{Classmate}-” Heyy new student.”

{Hina}-[intimidated]” Yes?”

{Classmate}-” I’m Emily Roosleworth.”

{Yami}-” What’s up with the intimidation just to introduce yourself. You look more scary than the new History teacher.”

{Emily}-[nods her head]” Don’t talk about her brother like that in her presence idiot.”

{Yami}-[confused]” Her brother?”

{Emily}-” Just how dense are you?”

{Hina}-[smiles]

{Yami}-[shocked]” Nanami Hiryu,Mei Hiryu. They have the same Last name.”

{Emily}-” Of course they do where were your ears yesterday you block head?”

{Yami}-[ashamed]” Mei-Chan!!”

{Hina}-[bursts out in laughter wholeheartedly]

{Yami}-” See what you caused Blondie.”

{Emily}-” Oh please you ogre.”

[1:00PM]

{Hide}-[in class]” Alright get seated all.”

{Yami}-[excited]” Yes Sensei.”

{Hide}-” Our topic of the day is Evolution.”

{Yami}-[raising his arm desperately]

{Hide}-” Yes Yami what is it?”

{Yami}-” Can I explain it?”

{Emily}-” Don’t interrupt the teacher you idiot.”

{class random talks}-[laughter]” Let the clown do his work Emily.”

{Yami}-[spirit broken]” Sorry Sensei.”

{Hide}-” Why are you apologizing?”

{Hina}-[feels bad for Yami]

{Class random talks}-[more laughter and mockery]” What’s wrong we're waiting for the show?”

{Hide}-” When you get entertained by the clown you become part of the circus. The only difference is that you pay while the clown gets paid. In my point of view the clown is the biggest gainer. So, who's the real clown at the end of the day?”

{Classroom}-[all silent]

{Hide}-” Yami please carry on.”

{Yami}-[confidently gets up]” Evolution is a genetic upgrade in living things, more like the apes moving on their four limbs to moving on only two or the apes being able to carry out complex tasks that were unique to the humans or insects becoming immune to insecticides these days or --”

{Emily}-[interrupts]” Please enough with that elementary half ass way of answering a question you ogre. He asked for the definition.”

{Classroom}-[bursts out of laughter at Yami]

{Yami}-[emotionally hurt]

{Emily}-[smiles]” You watch too much of animations so its to be expected.”

{Yami}-[speechless]

{Hide}-” And what do you think the proper definition of evolution might be--?”[clueless of her name]

{Emily}-” Emily, Emily Roosleworth.”

{Hide}-[smiles]” Roosleworth.”

{Emily}-[prideful]” Evolution is technically defined as: a gradual process in which something changes into a different and usually more complex or better form. In simple terms, evolution is the process by which an organism becomes more sophisticated over time and in response to its environment.”

{Classroom}-[clapping for Emily]

{Hina}-[disgusted at the class]

{Hide}-” Emily give me 3 major differences between what Yami said and what you did.”

{Emily}-[getting anxious]” My definition is more formal and acceptable.”

{Hide}-” I’m the teacher here I believe I’m the one who decides that but let's leave that as one. Two more differences left.”

{Emily}-[getting more anxious]” My answer will bring me more points than his for sure.”

{Hide}-” Why is that so?”

{Emily}-” Because my answer is more acceptable and more formal.”

{Hide}-” I thought that was your first point?”

{Emily}-[speechlessly looking dumb]

{Classroom}-[little laughs and side talks about Emily]

{Hide}-[lifts 2 fingers]” 2 life advice to you all.”

{Classroom}-[all quiet]

{Hide}-” Firstly never weigh down people just so you can stand above them, that’s called inferiority complex. Secondly, always keep things simple. Emily’s definition might have sounded more captivating, but she never said anything outside what Yami said and Yami did it all in a shorter time with even 3 worldwide accepted examples. Nobody likes excess work and stress so keep it simple always.”

{Classroom}-[ashamed of themselves]

{Hide}-” It seems our time is up. We will continue tomorrow.”

{Classroom}-[students walking out of the class]

{Yami}-[walks over to Hide]” Nanami Sensei.”

{Hide}-[seated in exhaustion]” Yes Yami what is it?”

{Yami}-[bows his head humbly]” Thank you Sensei.”

{Hide}-” Don’t mention.”

{Hina}-[walks up to Yami]” Don’t let them mock you Yami, don’t stop being yourself too, I think you’re smart and cool so be yourself always.”

{Yami}-[tears of joy]” Mei-Chan thank you.”

[4:03PM]

{Hide}-[writing on a book inside the classroom]

{Hina}-” God I’m tired let’s go please.”

{Hide}” I told you already you can go on without me, I will come when I’m done with this teacher's daily report.”

{Hina}-[sighs]

{Hide}-” You seem to be enjoying the school.”

{Hina}-” What makes you think so?”

{Hide}-[writing]” I saw you during lunchtime with Yami. You seemed quite happy.”

{Hina}-[shy]” It’s just change of environment effect.”

{Hide}-” It certainly has changed you. You can stay here you know if you really enjoy it here.”

{Hina}-” Is that you getting rid of me?”

{Hide}-” In a way I guess.”

{Hina}-[walks up close to hide]” You seem to be changing too.”

{Hide}-” Me?”

{Hina}-[gently forces her legs in between Hides lap]” What you did for Yami was really nice.”

{Hide}-[trying his best to ignore Hina’s actions]” You seem to be growing fund of this Yami.”

{Hina}-[slowly pulls up his hair to see his bar code tattoo]” Are you getting jealous?”

{Hide}-[laughs]” Enjoy yourself it’s all part of the new age adolescence Hina.”

{Hina}-[annoyed]

{Hide}-” You should stop that Hina you’re my sister if someone sees us the situation might be misread.”

{Hina}-” Who’s in school after closing hours asides us?”

{Hide}-[snubs her and continues writing]

{Hina}-[picks up Hide’s hand]” Besides I’m not doing anything wrong, Yet.”

{Hide}-[slows down on his writing]

{Hina}-” You never said anything about me in this uniform.”

{Hide}-[playing dumb]” You look like every other student.”

{Hina}-[puts his hand on her thighs]” I do?”

{Hide}-[heavily swallows down his saliva]

{Hina}-[slowly lifting up her skirt]” This might be something someone would misinterpret.But luckily no one is here.”

{Hide}-[tries pulling his hand away]” We can’t do stuffs like that.”

{Hina}-[strongly holds down his hand]

[key drop sound]

{Emily}-[in shock]

{Hina}-[startled]” Emily!!!”

{Hide}-[ironically speaks in a low tune]” Good job Hinata.”

{Emily}-[in fear]” Sorry Sensei I forgot my bag so I--.”

{Hide}-” How long have you been here?”

{Emily}-[anxiously trembling]” Not long.”

{Hide}-[gets her bag for her]” This is it?”

{Emily}-[intimidated]” Yes, Thank you Sensei. I will be on my way now.”

{Hide}-” Aren’t you forgetting something, Emily?”

{Emily}-[scared]” I promise I won’t say a thing to anyone about what I saw. ”

{Hide}-[acts clueless]” What are you talking about?”

{Emily}-[confused]” You guys were--”

{Hide}-” Me and Mei?”

{Hina}-[standing speechlessly]

{Hide}-[turns around and blinks at Hina]

{Emily}-” Sensei I should be going.”

{Hide}-[walks towards Hina]” Wait a moment Emily.”

{Hina}-[confused]

{Hide}-[talks out loud]” Is your leg better now Mei?”

{Emily}-[confused]

{Hina}-[in the dark]” What?”

{Hide}-[swiftly scratches Hina’s thigh with his pen]” Sorry Mei could you show Emily your thigh.”

{Hina}-[feels slight pain]” Ouch.”

{Emily}-” What happened to her thigh?”

{Hina}-[picks on]” Oh yeah my thigh.”

{Hide}-” She injured herself so I was checking to see how serious it was.”

{Hina}-[shows Emily her light bleeding thigh]” It still hurts.”

{Emily}-” Oh I’m sorry Sensei I thought--”

{Hide}-[playing dumb]” Thought what?”

{Emily}-[holds her words]” Nothing good bye.”

{Hide}-” Don’t forget to pick up your key, Roosleworth.”

{Emily}-[remembers]” Oh yes my key.”
