He got up to fix himself a bowl of Milo cereal. Yonatan asked, "You have a girlfriend, Ayumu?"

'No, sir. I was busy working on my money. As much as it'd fun to have one, I don't want to rush into it. I had one named Ichigo, but she was a hot mess on the inside. Remember her?"

"Yeah. She's the one who used and abused you. You'll get a better one someday." Yonatan fixed himself some Raisin Bran. "I'm sure about it."

"Hope you're right." He reached for the whole milk and poured it in the cereal. "After all, May's got herself a good boyfriend. I like Yoshida."

"He provides for her very well, doesn't treat her like garbage, doesn't want sex 24/7..." Yonatan started eating some of his cereal. 

May came downstairs, purple backpack in hand. "Big brother, somebody might see you as a keeper. There's plenty of fish in the sea." 

"Glad you two are reassuring me. I feel pretty good about myself." Ayumu got up to wash and dry his bowl.  "Anyways, I gotta head to Totsuki; my students are waiting for me."

May walked with her bro. "What are you looking for in a girlfriend?"

"I guess curvaceous, a good cook (even though I can cook), appreciative, doesn't use me..." Ayumu replied. "I had one named Ichigo. Remember that she-devil?"

"I remember her. Have you had sex with her?" she asked.

"No." They finally reached Totsuki. "Never had relations with anybody. Anyways, I'm gonna go to my classroom. I'll see you after school."

Ayumu found Room 101, his classroom. He let out a big sigh, opened the door, and sat in a black rolling chair. "Guess I could play Candy Crush for bit. Breakfast isn't over yet."

Yoshida and May were shooting the breeze at breakfast. "So, Ayumu's single?" he asked whilst eating some pumpkin bread and an Americano (with 3 shots espresso this time).

"Yeah. He had one girlfriend before he went to NYC, but she was a mess of a human being. Dad told him she was trouble."

"How so?"Yoshida asked her. 

"She used him on a constant basis and never offered anything for him, not even a hot meal." May was eating a blueberry muffin. "Maybe we should hook him up with someone..."

"Maybe, but we go to class. How are we gonna do that?" Yoshida sipped his coffee. 

"I know one teacher who's single and about his age; her name is Ms. Takari, and she's a curvaceous woman. No homo." May ate the last of her muffin. "Side note: She likes Pokemon; her favourite is Eevee."

"Let's do it then. Where's her room?" he asked May.

"She's a counselour; her room is 103."

Ayumu looked at the students come in his classroom. "You're not Mr. Tanaka," one black kid (with Down's) pointed out.

Another kid replied, "He retired. Don't you remember?"

Ayumu stood up. "I'm Mr. Szilveszter," Ayumu introduced himself, writing on the board. "Today, we'll start by doing journal topics. I'll write a topic on the board."

He wrote: "Have you ever dealt with a breakup? How'd you deal with it?"

The students started writing in their journals. Ayumu thought to himself, 'What should I teach the students now?' he thought. 'Oh, wait. Math is next.'

Ms. Takari walked in. She had thick thighs and a butt, just like May described. Ayumu thought to himself, 'I should ask her to lunch. I'm smitten!' 

"Here's your math, science, and English work for the students," Ms. Takari said. She waved at Ayumu; he waved back, but he was distracted by her vase-shaped body. She left and shut the door.

The Down's syndrome black kid (DeRandy St-Pierre) teased the teach. "Oooooh, you like Ms. Takari!"

"Really, DeRandy?" Ayumu raised his right eyebrow. "You just gonna tease me like that?"

Jonathan Jones, a kid with autism, suggested, "You should buy her lunch one day. She seems interested in you."

"I might. I have been wanting a girlfr-. Wait a minute! Why am I sharing my love life with you kids?! Get back to your journal!" He blushed. 

Three hours later, Ayumu ran into May and Yoshida while his students were on break. May spilled the tea. "We found someone for you, Ayumu; her name is Ms. Takari."

"Really guys, I appreciate it, but what if she's not into me? After all, she hasn't given me a sign." Ayumu replied. 

Yoshida asked, "So, you gonna ask her to lunch, or...?"

"Fine. What have I got to lose?" Ayumu knocked on her door. "Hi, Ms. Takari."

"You can call me Sakaki. How may I help you?" she asked.

"W-W-Wanna go to lunch with me?" Ayumu was doused with cold sweats. 

"Sure. Where are we going? We could start small if you want." Sakaki asked. 

"Want to go to the mall?" Ayumu asked. "Anything you want from the food court."

"Sure."

May and Yoshida were outside her door, waiting to see if he made it or not. Ayumu was all smiles when he opened the door. "I have good news! She said yes!"

The young couple high-fived each other. Yoshida patted him on the back. "Good luck."

......................

Ayumu and Sakaki were sitting at the mall. She has a chili dog and fries; he has currywurst and fries. "So, tell me about yourself," Ayumu asked.

"My favourite Pokemon is Eevee, I like long walks on the beach, and I've been single all my life. Enough about me. What about you?"

"My favourite Pokemon is Mega Charizard Y, I don't like to swear, and aside from teaching special-needs kids, I'm trying to be an MMA fighter for Rizin." Ayumu ate some of his currywurst. "Aside from the fact that I'm Japanese, I'm Hungarian and English. I was raised Jewish for only a year before my father decided to leave the faith."

"I was raised Catholic, but ever since the priest raped a child, my family left the faith and never went back to church since." She bit into her chili dog. 

Ayumu ate some of his fries quickly. "Tell me more about yourself."

"I also like mint chocolate chip ice cream," she told him. 

"I tried mint chocolate chip; didn't like it. I do like chocolate-peanut butter ice cream. I also like sashimi." Ayumu ate the last of his currywurst. 

"Did I tell you I've been single all my life?" Sakaki asked.

"Yeah. I had a girlfriend named Ichigo; she was a Jezebel of a human being! You done with your food?"

"Yeah." Ms. Takari handed him her empty tray. "Thanks for everything."

"No problem." Ayumu threw their trash away. "Ready to go back to the school?"

Sakaki got up and walked with him back to school. 'I think I have a girlfriend now,' Ayumu thought.
