NAKAMURA RIKAKO<br/><br/>(http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk137/HaibaneR/Rika_Avatar.jpg)<br/><br/>I watched as the new girl was called out of class for a talking-to. I sighed. Poor girl. Fujiwara-sensei could be pure evil sometimes. The<em>sensei</em>at Sendai were pretty sharp. The school paid good salaries I'd heard and hired excellent disciplinarians. Maybe that had contributed to the funding problem?<br/><br/>I cleared away my things and rose from my desk. As the class bustled about and clattered and banged and headed for the door I pushed my way over to Shita as she tidied up her stuff.<br/><br/><strong>"So, what do you think? Is today the day we've all been wondering about?"</strong>
