First Day

"Hello! My name is Minori Futaba! Ready to be a teacher at this great Junior High School!"
'Heh, I wasted no time with introductions and spoke loud and clear, they must be impressed!'

A woman with hazel hair had burst through the doors, speaking confidently in a tight skirt and a light pink button up.
She looked around the room and, to her surprise, the faces weren't what she expected. In fact, there seemed to be nothing in the room that fit her expectation, which is when one of the teachers there speaks up.

"Uhh... Hey, you're here to apply to be a teacher right?"
"Y-Yeah..."
Suddenly another voice speaks.
"You got the wrong room, the principal and vice-principal are waiting for you in the NEXT room."
"...Huh? The Ne..."
'I GOT THE WRONG ROOM?!'
"M-MY APOLOGIES!"

She then quickly takes a bow and closes the door, before hurried footsteps are heard of her speeding down to the next room, leaving all the teachers inside confused, and slightly surprised at the occurrence.
All except one, somebody wearing charcoal pants and a button up shirt that was watching from the back.
'Strawberry coloured eyes... Cute.

...I hope she's able to join us.'

... ...

'Hello, I'm your new homeroom teacher!
Hmm...
Beat those sorrows aside, your new teacher is here!
Ugh, no way.
It's been a week and I still don't know how I'll introduce myself...

Alright! I won't repeat my clumsy mistake from last time!
I'm glad they still decided to hire me...'

Soon she arrives at her classroom, just in time for her morning class.

'Class 2-B... I wonder how they'll be? Maybe inquisitive students ready to learn? Or maybe they'll be ready to take initiative!
No point in standing out here, it's time to face it!'

She opens the door and heads in, walking to the center of the board, ready to introduce herself.
'Right, let's do this!'
But just as she's about to speak, all the staring eyes get to her, causing the following words to come out weird.
"Hello! I'm your neat homeroom teacher! Put sorrows aside!"
"..."
The students remain silent, confused by the introduction.

'I can feel myself blushing... I can't believe I mixed up what I was going to say...'

Just as she was feeling embarrassed for herself, the door suddenly opens and a person walks in.
"Excuse me, sorry for being late."
Minori looks towards the door.
"Hm? No prob-"
'...Eh?'

The moment she looked all she saw was a black haired giant in a girl's school uniform, with visible muscles almost bursting out.
"A pervert?! W- Who are you?! I'll call the police!"
Suddenly she hears a monotone voice coming from behind her.
"Ms neat teacher, that's Shino, a classmat-"
"AHH! W- When did you get behind me?!"
Behind her was a purple haired girl that was quite small, in fact she didn't even look like a student here besides the fact she wore the same uniform.
"...An elementary student?"
'Wait... Classmate?'

She calms down a bit and turns towards the giant.
"You're... a student?"
"Yes, Shino Morisaki, here's my ID."
'She already has the ID ready?!'
"It happens a lot so she keeps it on her at all times."
"Ah, I had forgotten about you... Uh...?"
"My name is Natsumi Yuuki.
...I'm not an elementary student."
"Ah, Right... If you could just... head back to your seats please."
'I almost had several heart attacks just now... That was surprising.'

She proceeded to take a few seconds to calm down and attempt to save her image from total collapse.

"So, my name is Minori Futaba, I'm your homeroom teacher. Nice to meet you!
Since I already met some of you, I'll just start attendance."
Before she can however, a student speaks up.
"Sensei, why did you specify you were neat?"
"Don't worry about it!"
'This isn't what I meant by inquisitive...'
As she laments to herself, a voice suddenly comes from behind her once again.
"...What was that about sorrows?"
"AH! When did you get behind me again?"
"Sorry, I'm told I'm silent, I wanted to make sure you heard my question."
'This isn't what I wanted for initiative either...'
"Please head back to your seat..."

Minori watches as Yuuki slowly goes to back to her seat, making sure she stays there before continuing.
"Anyway... For fun, I'll just do attendance randomly instead of alphabetically!"
'Should hopefully be good for calming myself too...'
"Let's see... Kentarou Koga?"

A voice from the back of the class speaks up, one coming from a student with sunglasses sitting on top of a bike.
"Right here!"
"Ah, that's you, good. Now le-"
She pauses, then slowly looks back up at him.
"...Koga. Are you sitting on a bicycle?"
"Sure am!"
Before Minori can continue, Shino suddenly speaks up.
"Ah, he's always sitting on one during class. I don't know if anyone has ever seen him inside without being seated in one..."
"How did you even get one inside?!"
Koga smirks.
"Heh, I'll never tell."
"And the sunglasses?"
"Heh, to look cool obviously!

...Nah, it's not worth it."
Koga then switches his sunglasses for normal glasses.
"There, now I can see without it being so dark."
'...This class is going to kill me.'

...

Back in the teachers room.
"Excuse me, Mr Toyohama."
"Principal, hello! Do you need anything?"
"Yes, I forgot to give this print to Ms Futaba over in class 2-B. Since you have a moment right now, would you mind going to deliver this to her?"
'...!'
"ABSOLUTELY!"
"Oh, you would? Let me ask someone else the-"
"Ah no! I meant I'll do it..."
With that he grabs the print and quickly gets up, speed walking out of the room as the principal watches him leave.
"Heh, youngins these days..."

No longer in a speed walk, Toyohama is walking down the hallway, lost in thoughts.
'I'll get to see her again, how nice.
After that entrance last week I haven't been able to get her off my head.
...I should probably never mention that out loud though, I can already imagine the embarrassment...

I'm glad she was hired, though, I haven't been able to say a word to her today... But it changes now!'
Finally he arrives.
"...2-B, here it is."

He carefully knocks, before opening the door and stepping inside.

...

Knocking is heard before the door opens and a man steps in.
"Hm? Excuse me, who-"
'Ah! Could this be another student? I won't fail this time!'
"Wait, I get it. Another late arrival huh? Come on, hurry and take a seat."
"Huh? What do you-"
"Come on, you're late! we're almost finished with attendance."

Despite the protests from the man, she was very insistent, leaving him with no choice but to actually take a seat near the back, one of the only free ones.
"Uh, excuse me-"
Before she can continue, Minori cuts her off.
"Ah, sorry Shino, but I'd like for the late arrival to introduce himself. Go on."
She held such a warm and bright smile as she looked at him that he blindly introduced himself, as if that's what he was here to do.
"I-I'm... My name is Kai Toyohama. I teach class 3-A... I love parfaits."
Minori nods as he finishes.
"Hm I see, parfaits really are nice."
'I'm acting as I didn't hear him... IS HE ACTUALLY A TEACHER?!'
"Right, they sure are... I'm actually here to deliver you this, a print that the principal forgot to give you."

He stood up and slowly walked to the front.
"Here it is... Ms-"
"Minori Futaba, teacher extraordinaire!"
'I want to die... This is so embarrassing.'
"Right, well... Have a nice class Ms Futaba."

With that, he slowly walks out and closes the door behind him, at which point Shino speaks up again.
"That's what I wanted to mention, he was-"
Before she can finish, Yuuki puts a hand on her shoulder, having somehow gotten behind her without her noticing.
"I believe it would be best to just pretend it didn't happen, I think our teacher extraordinaire is ready to burst."
"Burst?! From what?"
"I don't know. Just a feeling."
'I can't even make myself speak to tell her to go back to her seat...
I'm not even sure if her monotone voice is helping or making it worse.

The image I had for a perfect debut as a teacher, ruined!'

...

"Heh, Minori Futaba..."
'I finally got to speak to her, though I can't believe I blended so much into the background when she introduced herself to the teachers that she didn't notice me at all...

Mistaken for a student, never thought that'd happen to me...
But still, teacher extraordinaire huh? She really won't leave my mind now...'
