Chapter I : Rainfall [Part 1]
*6:00 am, Beep Beep Beeeep* sounded my alarm, as I was laying in bed. I snoozed it at first to sleep again.
*6:45 a.m, Beep Beep Beeeep* it alarmed again. At that moment, I paused for a minute to rub my eyes from the sleepiness.
"Oh, it's still quite early." I said to myself. "Wait, 6:45 a.m?!" After realizing the time, I hurried to the Kitchen, and grabbed a bowl, milk carton, spoon, and my favorite cereal: Krispee Krunch. I rapidly ate, not noticing the time. After that, I went to the bathroom and cleaned myself. I brushed my teeth afterwards. Before going out, It seemed quite drizzly so I wore my school uniform, white button up shirt and black pants. I also wore my blue under shirt and a white hoodie.
*Drip Drop Drip Drop* As I walked, the rain began to fall. I had to run fast, yet careful. "I want to make it in time for school, but I don't want to get my pants all-muddy" I thought to myself. All of a sudden, the rain fell harder. "Arrggh! Why do I feel like the unluckiest man alive?! I started complaining. I believed that the only choice I had was to run at full speed, even while rushing through rain puddles.
"Finally, I have reached my destination, Ibaraki Academy!" is what I should've said with great pride and joy, but alas, I am soaking wet due to the rain, my school pants all muddied up, and when I looked at my watch, 7:20 am is what it read.
"Mr. Kawasaki!" someone yelled. Though I know who yelled my name, I still turned around to see who was calling me. Yup, it was no other than Sir. Walker, Julius Walker to be exact. He is the principal of Ibaraki Academy. He wears a brown suit, white undershirt, dark brown pants, black pointy shoes, and a royal blue-colored neck tie. He has gray hair and wears eyeglasses.
"Late again? Natsu, haven't we talked about this before? I know you may despise the classes here, but you could at least show a bit of effort in coming to school on time." he said. "Sir," I said, trying to explain. "I had to finish my math homework last night. I was quite lucky to have finished it, but not lucky enough to avoid the rai---" before I could finish my sentence, he interrupted saying, "Please come with me to my office. I am sick of your endless excuses."
*At the Principal's Office*
"Please, take a seat." Mr. Walker said. I had no choice but to follow his commands, so I sat. "Here in Ibaraki Academy, both teachers and students must have cooperation and communication." he said. "Listen, all the teachers are obliged to help an "unsatisfied" student. A school is known as a second home to youngsters like yourself. We help those who are helpless, and teach those who are quite foolish. you know what I'm saying?" he looked at me with a smile. But suddenly, his smiling face, turned into a gloomy glare. "I don't like your behavior. I need to put my foot down, and punish you. Once all of your classes are done, I expect you to come back to my office so that I can properly give you your punishment. Right now, you may go to your classroom." Mr. Walker instructed.
*Walking through the school's corridor, leading to my classroom*
"Mr. Walker is a really nice guy, before you would completely know him." I thought to myself. "But I know his smiles are just for show. He smiles to make both, the teachers and the students, feel completely comfortable, but the moment he sends out his glares, he could give extremely difficult punishments. Maybe I should probably take my school life more serious, but then again, She would never talk to me, cheer me up, and above all, greet me every recess time with her charming smile." I contemplated. "Well, I'm here, class 3 - C, my classroom. Let the day officially begi--- " before I could finish my sentence, the classroom's door opened. "Good Morning Ms. Ayako" I greeted sarcastically. Ms. Ayako was wearing her usual light yellow dress, complete with a black belt, a light green shirt underneath and a pairs of white heels. She had straight brown hair and two long bangs, reaching down to her shoulders. "Natsu, I have my next class so could you at least let me through?" she sounded tired. "But before I let you in," she continued. "Today's lab experiment was cancelled due to the rain. To make use of the time, we had a discussion instead. I gave the class a homework. Ask your class president, Mr. Anderson, for the details. Clear?" she asked. "As crystal." I responded.
After talking to Ms. Ayako, I walked to my seat. My seat was at the eighth column to the right, and third row to the back. On my left was a clear glass window, while on my right was a guy wearing a long-sleeved white V-neck shirt with blue lining, dark green shorts, black socks and blue-and-gold sneakers. Underneath his shirt is a loose, black tank top. He wears a black beanie over his head and a pair of headphones around his neck. He was my seatmate, Jason Mitchell.
"Hey dude, late again?" Jason asked me as I sat down. "Well, yeah. Knowing me, that shouldn't be quite a surprise." "HAHAHAHA." we, both laughed as I explained. "Hey Natsu!" A classmate of mine shouted while heading straight for us. Jason and I stared at the man standing. He wore the school's uniform, consisting of a white long sleeve, a dark blue coat, a red neck tie, a white undershirt, black belt and pants, and polished black shoes. He also has a messy black hair; it perks upwardly forward with strands falling on his forehead. He was not only the apple of every girls' eye, but the class president as well. He was no other than Lucas Anderson.
"Don't you have any shame? You came here late, and you still got the nerve to laugh? What's that all about?" he looked irritated. "But anyways, Ms. Ayako told me to let you have this." He said while giving me a piece of paper. "What exactly is this?" I asked. "What else would it be? The class homework dummy!" He replied while feeling annoyed. Before I started saying nasty things about him, the school bell rang.
*Ring Ring Riiiinnngg*
It was too early for our recess, it was also too early for our dismissal. Once the alarm has stopped, our Principal's voice can be heard all through-out the school grounds, with the help of the schools' speakers. "Good Morning dear students." he began. "Before you start your second subject, I would like to inform you about something important." he said in a happy tone, but that happy tone soon became a screaming devil. " A CORPSE HAS BEEN SPOTTED NEAR THE SCHOOL GYM! ALL STUDENTS WILL BE QUESTIONED ABOUT THE SAID ANNOUNCEMENT! AS OF NOW, EVERYONE, INCLUDING THE TEACHERS, ARE GUILTY!" he shouted at the speakers. But finally calming down, he ended the announcement: "Good day to all of you."
After the announcement, everyone from our class were paralyzed in confusion and fear.
"A c-corpse? near the s-school gym? W-who is the culprit? Who is the v-victim?" these were the questions I thought to myself with disbelief on my face.
The students were traumatized by the announcement.
