Hair dying | @academyfaggot

If someone told her how tedious dying hair was, Elesa would have stayed blonde. But, it was too late to do anything now. Her roots were showing once again, making a run to the drug store almost urgent.

Elesa zoomed to the hair products aisle after walked through the door. She had to dye this as quickly as possible; it was almost embarrassing to look at a mirror! Her eyes frantically scanned through all the shampoos and conditioners in search for hair dye, as if her life depended on it.

Elesa felt relieved when she found the hair dye. She just had to go to the register and run back to her dorm. Slightly bending over, she snatched the box of hair dye from the shelf and turned to buy the product.

Just as Elesa was going to start walking she mindlessly bumped into someone. It shocked her that even with her height, she didn't see them. "I'm very sorry about that," she began and looked down, "Oh! I didn't expect to see you here." Her face lifted up with joy once she saw their familiar grin.

Welcome back, everyone! School has started once again, which means it's time for the fashion students' first assignment!

Now, since it's still warm out, I've decided that my students will have to make a summer outfit. I'll assign each one of you a color scheme, and the rest all depends to you.

Now remember: try to make the best out of this!

Emmet walked very fast. Emmet then walked very slow. Walking together is hard! He wasn’t used to synchronizing his steps with anyone aside from Ingo. It was even harder when he felt like running and shouting and singing and doing things that are very embarrassing to do in public.

The following paragraph takes place in Emmet’s mind.

C H O O - C H O O—!! went the Emmet Express, faster and louder than the Double train as it rushed past the daily afternoon crowd. He got to hold Elesa’s hand! Hooray! He was verrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrry happy! SUPER happy! Even Super-er than the Super Double train. He was a Super Duper Double train!!

The Super Duper Double train suddenly stopped dead in its tracks.

But not actually dead. That was just an expression.

“Is it okay if we go somewhere outside the campus?” He asked, interjecting an “I am Emmet” at the end. “You see. The school facility is being closed right now. Because summer break has begun. The faculty lounge and cafeteria will be closed soon if they haven’t been.”

[academymodel-blog]

"Ah, yes!" Elesa began, "There's a nearby cafe just out of campus! Shall we go?" She turned around and faced Emmet, smiling.

As she took his arm and interlocked it with hers, Elesa started to hum. Coffee wasn't normally something she'd anticipate, but today was different! It was going to be filled with laughter and small talk, just like any other date.

Or well... was it a date? Elesa wasn't sure what to call this gathering. Of course, she'd gone out with other men before, but she always knew if they were friends or something more...

But, Emmet was different. He was like any other man she's known... except he made her a bit anxious. At times, to her own surprise, Elesa would not know what to do or say around him. What was so different about him that made her act completly different compared to other men? It was something Elesa often questioned.

Just before exiting the academy's gate, Elesa stopped and gave Emmet a warm smile, before saying, "Um, what are your hobbies?"

[academymodel-blog]

Change is my new favorite thing! I decided to spice up my life by dying my hair black. It doesn't look too bad, right? I still need to adjust to my new hair color, but I'm really starting to like it!

[double-line-deactivated20130407]

A jolt of lightning ran up his fingers and into his head. It left him too dizzy to respond right away to the shojo scene.

“No running in the hallway!” He blurted out accidentally when the little gears in his head jolted back into motion.

That was the wrong move!!!

ALERT ALERT! The system is overheating.

His face was burning but he was too paralyzed from embarrassment to look for a fire hydrant. Or to worry about the hole in the ceiling made by his heart when it leapt 500 meters into the air earlier. That will be taken out of his paycheck.

But his fingers were still tingling from the electricity and it moved on its own. He hooked a gloved pinky into hers and moved more slowly.

“Let’s… walk. (I am Emmet.)”

[academymodel-blog]

"Alright!" Elesa started to walk. She turned around to look at the disorientated Emmet. "Oh! Are you okay, Mr. Emmet?" Feeling guilty for making him uncomfortable, Elesa's outgoing persona turned into the shy schoolgirl that she always refused to be.

"Um..." she began, "Let's, uh, go get some coffee now! I--" 

Looking down at their hands, Elesa's face replicated Emmet's "I-I'm so sorry!" she jumped back and let go of his hand. "I don't know what I was thinking...," she stared at her feet, refusing to make eye contact. 

Enough, Elesa! This is no time to be a teenage girl! This is not the first time you've been on an outing with a male, why overreact to something so simple when you've gone further? 

"Let's walk!" Elesa avoided Emmet's eyes. It was difficult to concentrate on what to do when her hand still tingled from their embrace.

[double-line-deactivated20130407]

Emmet was thinking very hard. Verrrry hard. Because this is a super serious situation that requires a lot of mental preparation. You know. So he thought and thought and thought. He thought until smoke started to rise from the top of his cap. It was a wonder why the smoke alarm did not go off.

That is why when someone spoke from the other side of the door, Emmet was startled. He panicked. He turned to press the run button! But there were a couple students staring at him oddly. He turned back to the door.

There was no running from the battle!!

.

“Hi! I am Emmet. I am here.”

Turning the doorknob carefully, he pushed the door open and he stuck his head halfway in, peering consciously and curiously into the contents of the room. “Hi Elesa. I am Emmet.”

[academymodel-blog]

"Hello Emmet," Elesa smiled warmly, "I am Elesa." She turned around and to her desk's chair. As she grabbed her sweater and slowly put it on, Elesa felt her arms shaking.

She then walked to the door and faced her friend. "Let's go!" Without any other thought, Elesa quickly took Emmet's hand and ran out her room, leaving the door wide open.

The whispers and stares from the students as they ran down the hallway were almost unnoticeable to her. All she cared about now was her craving for coffee and the warmth in her hand.

This is Emmet. He is smiling ear to ear like always. But today, it is different kind of smile. You see, today he is meeting with Elesa for coffee. His heart engine suddenly went faster when he thought of her. Do not crash now, Emmet. We do not want a train wreck on our dashes.

He saluted one of the joltik cams in the hallway as he passed by. Good work, Joltik #14. You kept the school safe again today! The tiny, yellow bug joltiked before scuttling off to joltik joltik joltiiiiik. One would normally have to have a Ph.D in Joltik Studies to understand what the heck that last sentence meant. But Emmet understood. He has a Masters in Subway. He’s got this. That is why he is a verrrry good Subway Boss.

The school bell rung a while ago. He checked his watch, it is exactly 3:07pm. He tried to get to Elesa’s office as fast as soon as he could, walking faster than the maximum speed allowed. Had he knocked over any students, he probably wouldn’t have noticed. We could only hope that they survived.

Clutching the dandelions he picked during lunch break, he paced back and forth in the hallway right in front of the office door. He wondered if the joltik earlier had the Unnerve ability because he is suddenly verrry nervous. Man up, Emmet! You can do this!

Elesa sat at her desk, looking out the window at the beautiful late spring day. It was almost the end of the school year, meaning that each day would drag on longer. Now, she had many things to forward to! There was graduation, going to the beach, and most importantly, coffee.

Nausea fell in the pit of her stomach, her cheeks was starting to burn, and an uncomfortable feeling made her chest feel tight. Elesa opened her water bottle and took a big gulp. Ah, better. She was starting to feel normal again. Coffee used to be something she loved, now the thought made her feel so uneasy.

Yet, what really frustrated her the most was why this was happening. He was just a coworker. Nothing more nor less. Elesa just asked him to meet up for some coffee and now she's acting like a schoolgirl. How embarrassing!

Without realizing, Elesa was getting warmer. Ah, it must have been the heat. She walked up to the AC in her classroom and noticed that it was already on. How strange... Before walking back to her desk, she noticed a figure outside her door.

"Hello? Anyone there?"

[academymodel-blog]

Looks like prom is coming up! I hope everyone's already picked out their dates. Ah, I remember my high school prom. It was, well, very... interesting.

But, as one of the chaperones of this year's prom, I'll make sure that everyone will have a great night!

[academymodel-blog]

Well, I hope the tennis match will be great! I'm counting on all of you to do your best!　

[academymodel-blog]

Hello, everyone! I'm your new fashion teacher, Ms. Elesa. I hope to see some of you in class later!

[academymodel-blog]

"Oh! What's this?" Elesa walked into her classroom and looked at her desk. "It's so cute!" She exclaimed.

She picked up the small creature and held it on her hand. Smiling, she said, "I'll take good care of you, my new class pet!"

[academymodel-blog]

Is it just me or is the academy very... empty?

Although this is my first job as a teacher, I'd expect to see more students and a crowded campus...
