Randy hurriedly ran towards his class. How in the Ninja world did he woke up late than he should?! He rushed and dodge a lot of stuff ahead of him before arriving to his classroom, which already started 10 minutes ago. The teacher, Sensei Nomi looked at Randy in wonder.

"Mr Cunningham, what took you so long?" He asked strictly. Damnit, Randy thought. Why is his voice is so damn hot?!

"S-sorry, Sensei. I woke up late." He awkwardly laughed. Sensei Nomi sighed.

"Mr Cunningham, this is the 5th time this week. I can slide you off if you can do a quick exam after class today. Stay here after this class and complete the test, and if you managed to pass I'll let you go. If you don't, I'm afraid you have to do after school sessions every day. Do you understand?" He asked. Randy sighed.

"Yes, sensei. I'm sorry." He said with guilt. The whole class except a few were about to laugh when Nomi lifted his hand, effectively silencing the whole classroom.

"Never laugh to someone else or it'll reflect to you. Remember, life is a mirror that'll reflect back at you. Randy, you may sit down now." He said. Randy took his seat next to Howard.

"Yo, Cunningham? Don't you think you should defend yourself from getting the test?" He asked in whisper. Randy shook his head.

"No, Howard. I need to pay the price. It's my fault that I'm late." He said. Howard grunted.

"But, the only reason you kept come in late is because you kept visiting your parent's graves." Howard dropped the bomb and only Nomi heard it. His heart strucked for a moment. Graves? So his parents are dead. No wonder he kept coming late. Nomi sighed and continued his lesson. After class, Randy stayed in his spot waiting for the test papers. Nomi came in with the paper and placed in on his table. Japanese Test, huh?

"Answer all of the question and you'll be free to go once I've grade it. Deal?" He asked for confirmation. Randy nod.

"Yes, sensei." He said and took the papers. Nomi sat down as he look at Randy who determined enough to answer all of the questions. He was impressed how well Randy is trying to past. After an hour Randy sighed and placed the paper in front of Nomi.

"Here you go, sensei. I'll be sitting at my spot now." He said and walked back towards his desk. Nomi took the paper and checked it. Huh, this isn't good. Nomi looked at Randy with pity. He looked tired and stress. Nomi sighed and mark down the results.

"I'm sorry, Mr Cunningham. But you'll be staying with me for while until your grades are up." He said and showed his results. Out of 50 questions, only 6 of them are correct. The rest were wrong. Randy sighed in disappointment. Looks like after school sessions is a must. Can he actually do it? He wasn't sure.

"I'm sorry, Sensei. I'll do my best again." He said tiredly. Nomi saw the look of it. Baggy eyes, slumped posture, slim body. He looked really pale. Has he been eating well? Maybe in early morning he went to the cemetery to visit his parents so it must be tiring. Besides, it's located at the other side of Norrisville. It's pretty far. Even if he cycles, he might be late by traffic.

"Randy, go to the cafeteria and grab something to eat. You looked like a zombie." He said worriedly. Randy nod and was about to leave the room when he fainted right in front of the door.

"Randy!" Nomi yelled worriedly. He carried Randy towards the nurse office and placed him on the bed. He is very light. When is the last time he ate?! The nurse came in and was surprised.

"N-Nomi! What are you doing here?" She asked. Nomi shook his head.

"This isn't about me. This is about my student. Can you inspect him for a minute while I go get some food for him?" He asked. The nurse looked at the student and shocked.

"Oh dear, he looked so bad! I'll check on him." She said and started to check Randy's health. Nomi left towards the cafeteria and saw Randy's friend. Howard was it?

"Mr Weinerman, we need to talk about your friend." He said. Howard spitted his food and luckily didn't hit his other friends.

"What's wrong?! What happen?" He asked worriedly. The others were worried too. Nomi sighed.

"He looked really pale and thin. He also looked tired. I overheard that you said Randy kept visiting his parents graves. Mind explain it to me?" He asked. Howard sighed. He can't hide it now. Cunningham is already weak.

"Fine, but the rest of the story Cunningham needs to explain. All I know is that he overworked himself, doing jobs to save money for himself. Every morning he'll visit his parents who died from cancer and car crash. He never told me why he didn't eat much, and I only suspect that he had no will of eating a lot." Howard explain. Nomi nod and bought some food and water for Randy to consume.

"Thank you, Weinerman. I should see Randy nod. After school you can visit him but just a quick one." He said and left towards the nurse office. Randy still looked pale.

"How is he now?" Nomi asked worriedly. The nurse sighed and place a blanket over the poor boy.

"He rarely eats, he overworked and didn't sleep much. I wonder how much coffee he consume. This boy need to sleep in for now, until he wake up to eat make sure there's no noises." She said and placed all the writing document on her table. Nomi looked at the boy in sorrow.

"I never knew your situation, Randy. I'm sorry if I'm being hard on you." He said. The nurse knew how much Nomi no care for the student, so she left to give them some space. Randy woke up a few hours later only to see Nomi sleeping on his thigh.

"What happen?" He asked himself. He saw Howard coming in.

"Cunningham. You're awake. You have to eat this now." He gave the buns and water for Randy to eat. Randy took it and managed to finish it all.

"Why is Sensei Nomi here?" He asked. Howard snickered.

"This teacher here was taking care of you, Cunningham. He told me that you won't be doing A.S.S anytime soon." He laughed at the short word he did. Randy is still shock.

"A.S.S?" He asked again.

"After School Session. You stay here until he wakes up. I'll grab your notes from Debbie and Theresa so you can still try to study." He said and left. Randy looked at his teacher in wonder. Thank goodness his teacher is kind enough like this. It felt... Nice.

"Thank you, sensei." He said as his face blushed red and his hand on Nomi's red hair. Nomi woke up and smiled at him sweetly.

"Hey, Randy. How are you feeling now?" He asked gently. Randy blushed at the words.

"Good, thank you." He said. Nomi got up from his seat.

"I need to go now. Make sure to rest and eat enough okay?" He asked for confirmation. Randy nod.

"I will. Don't worry." He said. Nomi kissed his forehead quickly before leave him with a sentence and wink.

"You're very interesting, Randy." He said and left. Randy blushed hard than he is and the nurse saw what just happened. She just smiled.

"How is it?" She asked. Randy daydreamed.

"Perfectly~♥" he said and fell down like a girl who's crush finally noticed her. How silly.
