10 - Sacrifice
I sat in class putting in some grades during lunch while eating my lunch. All of the girls were doing great in my class. No one fell under a B+, I was very impressed.
I stand up to go to the office to hand in some transcripts. On my way down I spot Mr. Kougami being surrounded by a bunch of girls near the entrance.
"Mr. Kougami?" I ask approaching the crowd. "Are you waiting for Fumiko?"
"Yeah." He looks out the door. "I forgot my phone and I'm hoping she'll bring it over to me."
'Oh." My eyes widen when I see Fumi walk in.
"Hi!" I smile at her. A small blush crosses her face. She must be embarrassed about me knowing about her fear of thunder.
"H-hey..." She smiles a little and walks over to Yamato. Handing him his phone a little awkwardly. "Here. You left it on the kitchen table this morning."
"Thanks." He smiles lovingly leaning in to give her a peck on her cheek. The girls around him go cray.
"Oh my gosh. So she's not his sister?"
"But they live together!"
"Mr. Kougami is she your sister?"
He grins before answering. "Nope. She's my wife!"
All the girls squealed loudly and began complimenting Fumi. "She's so cute!"
They would think that becaue of Fumi's small stature and big eyes and slightly round face. Her short hair framed her face making her look even cuter and younger.
"She looks like a doll!"
The first warning bell rings to signal the end of lunch and all the girls protest in disappointment.
"But I wanted to talk to Mrs. Kougami!"
"Now now, everyone go to class." He looks around for non obidient students. "You too Ondera."
He was talking to a very pretty 3rd year who was in one of my classes. Her name was Yuri Ondera. Now that I think about it, the whole time she stood near Mr. Kougami she was silent. I saw no specific expressions taking over her face either.
"Yes Mr. Kougami." She answers cheerfully.
"Ondera-San you have my class next no?" I ask her smiling. I tried to take a more uncasual approach unlike other students. Mostly because she was some of the few who didn't participate in class. She was always quiet and not really interested in getting to know everyone better. But hey, that's on her. I'm not trying to force anyone to do anything.
"Let's go to class together." I walk up to her and she shakes her head declining. "I'm going to stop by the restroom first."
------------
The last bells rang and Ondera was no where in sight. Did she ditch?
I look outside the window while everyone works on their warm up for the day.
Huh?
I see a familiar figure walking about down stairs outside.
"Ondera?" I whisper outloud shaking my head in disappointment. I straighten my navy suit and begin walking outside.
"I'll be back girls!" I tell them and rush out in my school slippers. When I get to the entrance I slip my heals on and rush to the gate where she stood talking to Fumiko.
I stood behind the bike racks eavesdropping.
"...there's no way you're married!"
She storms off into the building and I stop her.
"Ondera!" My voice comes out harder than I planned. "What do you think your doing?"
She looks down and stops in front of me. "..."
Fumi looks at me from the entrance and bows a bit.
---------
I spoke to Ondera a bit after class.
"I don't know what you think your gonna get out of bullying your homeroom teacher's wife." I slap my pen down. "I understand that you like Mr. Kougami but, he's married."
She continues to look down and I decided to stop lecturing her for now. "I won't tell anyone about this little incident. But please...."
I didn't expect this but well it is what it is.
I worked on my laptop at home while Harue does his homework beside me. Kanji, simple math... I wish they taught how to understand teenagers.
"Oba!"
"Nani*?"
"Look at this! I forgot which Kanji this is."
I look and chuckle a bit. "That's the Kanji for 'lie'."
"Okay!"
"Lie huh." I look back down at my computer. My eyes rest on 'Ondera'.
I think Yuri and I where kind of on the same page with that marrage. Could Ondera have found something that proved their marrage to be a lie? I highly doubt it seeing as she really likes Yamato. She's probably just saying stuff out of jealously.
Maybe next time I'll consult Fumi about this?
I feel like Fumi was dragged into it, though. I mean, what reason can she have to pretend to be married?
I shake my head trying to disperse my assumptions. I should probably stop thinking stuff up and hear the truth from them.
The buzzer on my door disturbs my thinking. Who could it be?
I stand up and look at the monitor. It was Fumiko.
"Come in." I press the open button and she disappears off the monitor.
"Hi Haruna." She smiles. "Yamato and I are going to Long Island... He...was wondering if you wanted to join us?"
"Lies!" I hear Yamato yell from the entrance. "She wanted to invite you." He laughs out loud.
Today was Saturday night and honestly I didn't have the energy to cook. So I decided to go.
"Sure let me just get ready with Harue." I smile in response.
They wait out in the living room watching Tv while I slipped on some jeans and mounted my peta coat on. It was getting really cold outside after the storm.
I put Harue in a hoodie and layer on a leather jacket. I wrap a small scarf around his neck.
"Let's go Haru."
"Ok!" He smiles.
We all walk out and make our way to Long Island.
When we get there we see the same people that where there the first time I came. Takao, Ren, Yuta, Kunihiko and Saeki.
The bell chimes when we walk in. "Welcome!" Kunihiko says happily.
"Hey there everyone." I smile and Harue waves at all of them.
"Hey guys." Takao's expression softens. "What brings you guys down here?"
"Yeah, I mean Fumi-chan and Yamato always come down here alone!" Yuta adds in.
"We decided to invite them okay?" Yamato tells them.
"Oh Haruna! I've been dying to see you!" Saeki walks up to me, shooting a flirtatious look.
My eyes widen at his boldness. "W-well er..."
"Stop it Saeki. Your making her feel uncomfortable." Yamato says standing in front of me protectively.
I sigh in relief gripping onto Harues little hand a bit harder.
Everyone chimed into the conversation and we sat down and ordered.
I struggled a little to hold a conversation with Saeki, but I somehow made it through 20 minutes.
My phone rang while everyone sat and ate happily. I decided to excuse my self leaving Harue whom conversated happily with Takao.
I step out and answer. 'Tracy' was displayed on my iPhone's screen.
"Hello?" I answer normally.
"Hey! Why don't you call me! I only get emails and that's not enough ok!" Her familiar voice demands.
"Sorry." I laugh. "How are you? I really miss everyone."
She snorts. "What's wrong with you? You sound different."
"How different? I don't think I've changed..."
"Well for starters you don't cuss at all now... and your voice is like, gentler."
"Really? I didn't notice." I lean on the window.
"Yeah. How's your nephew? Is he nice? Difficult? Annoying?"
"He's cute and innocent. Very obidient." I smile to myself. "He's a really good kid."
"That's good." I hear a relived sigh. "Also, did you know that Valentine left the country? Jared told me about how he left for Europe or something. Probably ran away after I threatened to beat his ass for leaving you. He's a fucking douche. If he was here I'd-"
"Drop it, Tracy." My voice wavers a bit.
"Sorry..."
"He decided to leave me because I was going to go far away. He couldn't come with me, and he didn't want to wait." I look down. "I don't blame him."
"But the way left you was unfair!-"
"By making the decision to take care of Harue, I was aware that when I told him, the possibility of me loosing him was possible."
"You knew that you would have to sacrifice your fiancé and yet-"
"It was a sacrifice worth making."
"...."
"Tracy, I'll call you back later I have to go back with Harue."
"Wait." She stops me before I hang up. "Why are you doing this? You practically gave up your life for that kid. You literally gave up your future. Your career as a lawyer, your fiancée and your home.
I smile once more to myself. "Because I owed it to my sister."
