"DEAR ITADORI-KUN...

     you probably don't even remember me, so let me reintroduce myself. my name is aoki chiyo, a second-year in class 2-b.

I've liked you since—"

"G-GOJŌ-SENSEI, P-PLEASE STOP READING!!", chiyo squeaked out, her eyes getting glossy, as some of the teachers had glanced over at the commotion.

the light-haired girl clenched onto the hem of her school uniform, as she was currently in the teachers' conjoined offices, having to have realized that she had turned in the wrong papers.

it truly wasn't her fault that she was so nervous that she had shoved her completed math homework into an envelope, sealed it, and handed it to the itadori without a second check.

okay, well...maybe it was her fault. but one could only imagine the confusion when sukuna had opened the envelope to reveal chiyo's math homework.

"is this a prank?", sukuna had questioned, causing chiyo to boldly glance up — absolutely horrified.

"I-I...umm...", she found it hard to even breathe.

"I'M SORRY!", she yelled as she snatched the papers and hastily ran off.

realizing that she had turned in her confession letter rather than her math homework, she had hesitantly made her way towards the staff room.

which brings us to gojō — the sixteen year-old's math teacher — poking fun at the girl's minor mishap.

"aww, don't cry, chiyo-chan!! I was just kidding. I won't expose your secre—"

     "satoru, are you bullying our students again? and out of all of them, poor aoki?", getō — chiyo's science teacher — sighed.

     "she's one of my best students, so please stop teasing her. I would hate for her to transfer schools just because of your goofy ass".

     gojō dramatically gasped.

     "you just cursed in front of a student!! principal yaga, sue him!!", gojō playfully commanded.

     yaga masamichi simply ignored the white-haired adult, as he continued with his paperwork.

     "ah, sorry you had to hear that, aoki", getō apologized.

     "oh, n-no worries, getō-sensei", chiyo politely bowed.

     "anyways, what brings you here to this bugger?", getō inquired, as chiyo flinched at the imposing question.

     "u-umm...I...", she glanced over at gojō for assistance, for she was not good at lying.

     "chiyo-chan's here for some help on her math homework. isn't that right?"

     "mhm!", she squeaked out.

     "a word of advice, aoki, you're better off asking one of the honor students like miwa for help instead of him", getō joked.

     "suguru, I am truly offended! a student should be able to come to their teacher whenever they're struggling. whether it be because of school or personal issues", gojō recited, briefly shifting his gaze towards chiyo, who just cracked a petite smile in appreciation.

"yeah yeah, last time you said that, tōji ended up coming for your neck after hearing you tell little fushiguro to resettle elsewhere, where tōji isn't present", getō exposed.

"that was one time! now shoo! I've got a student to attend to", gojō stated, earning a roll of the eyes from his best friend.

"aoki, feel free to call me if he makes you uncomfortable, okay?", getō smiled, patting chiyo's head, as he walked over towards his desk.

before chiyo could thank her science teacher, her attention was brought back to gojō, who had severely lowered his voice.

"so, you like itadori? itadori yūji?"

     the light-haired girl shook her head, fidgeting with her fingers, as she gulped down her nervousness.

     "n-no...I-I like itadori...itadori sukuna...", she whispered out.

     gojō slapped a hand over his mouth as his eyes widened with shock.

     "CHIYO-CHAN!"

     chiyo flinched at the sudden raise of volume, which resulted in the other teachers to glare at his colleague.

     getō was about to lecture his friend again before gojō had placed both of his hands on the girl's shoulders, giving her even more anxiety.

     "HIM?! REALLY?! BUT YOU'RE SUCH A SWEETHEART! I CANNOT ALLOW SUCH AN ARROGANT, CONNIVING, COCKY LITTLE BRAT TO TAINT—"

     "gojō", yaga interrupted, "for the love of tengen, will you PLEASE quiet it down. some of us, unlike you, are trying to work".

     "ah, right, sorry but not really", gojō shrugged.

     chiyo tried really hard to keep her tears from spilling. after all, she wasn't sure why her math teacher was so worked up about who she liked. she just wanted her confession letter back, and from the looks of it, she wouldn't get it back until she gave gojō a proper explanation.

     "aw, chiyo-chan, don't cry. I didn't mean to raise my voice or sound mean", gojō comforted, rubbing the top of the girl's head, as chiyo just nodded.

     "I'm just curious as to why...why him?", he gagged, for the first-year was infamous for being the troublemaker of the school.

     despite his twin brother — yūji — being a little stupid, but a team player and kind, sukuna was the complete opposite.

     he was smart, gojō wouldn't deny. however, on his first week of school, the boy had skipped four days in a row.

     on the second week of school, sukuna had already managed to beat up five upperclassmen and swept the floor with their blood.

much less to say, the aggressive first-year has managed to make himself an impression that caused many to scatter away upon witnessing him.

though to be fair, most of the time, many wouldn't be able to tell the difference between sukuna and yūji, until they spoke, that is.

"w-well...I—"

suddenly, a slam of the door had disrupted the girl's sentence, as a loud pink-haired boy had greeted his teacher.

"YO, GOJŌ-SENSEI!", yūji brightly smiled.

"YO, YŪJI-KUN!"

     "I'm here for my remedial lessons! oh, and I also brought sukuna. hope you don't mind".

     upon hearing sukuna's name being mentioned, chiyo's fingers twitched.

     "hey, old geezer", sukuna grinned, "miss me?"

     "yes", gojō fake smiled, "so much that I want to punt your little head into the sun, ahahaha~"

     "gojō", yaga warned.

     "ahem! anyways, would you mind giving me a moment please? I have to—"

     "no worries, gojō-sensei! I-I'll just see you tomorrow", chiyo mumbled, quickly bowing before skirting out of the room.

     sukuna raised a brow, as he recognized her to be the one to have handed him her math homework.

     'ah, whatever'.

     chiyo ranted on the phone to maki and mai about the chaotic events that had occurred. and quite frankly, the zen'in twins couldn't help but laugh.

"h-how'd you even manage to mess this up?", mai wheezed.

"gojō-sensei's going to bother you about this until...well, he'll just bother you", maki snorted.

chiyo pouted, to which her best friends could clearly witness her distress through the screen.

"now now, don't give us that face, chiyo", mai grinned.

"though I am curious like gojō-sensei is. why do you even like him? you never told us how it happened. I wouldn't have even noticed if it weren't for mai pointing out that you've been zoning out in class!"

chiyo diverted her eyes, as she suddenly heard some yelling in the background.

     "ugh, excuse us, chiyo. our misogynistic cousin is yapping at us to make dinner again", maki grumbled, rolling her eyes in the process, as she cursed him beneath her breath.

     "just wait til we turn eighteen. we'll move outta this shithole", mai huffed.

     "well, we'll see you tomorrow at school, chiyo. try not to think too much about it", maki stated.

     "bye", chiyo shyly waved, knowing full well that she'll be thinking about it the entire night.

     as the zen'in twins hung up, chiyo softly sighed to herself, face-planting into her pillow, as she clamped the ends of it against the sides of her head.

     letting out a curt scream for embarrassment, the girl had then raised her head, smoothing out her tangled locks.

     "maybe...maybe it'll be fine tomorrow", she tried to comfort herself.

     "yeah, tomorrow's a new day. and a new day means new beginnings".

     AUTHOR'S NOTE: I love the bad boy x good/shy girl cliché, lmao-

     and tbh, I would cry too if my teacher found out about my crush. especially if that teacher was mf gojō satoru💀
