You were hired at the same time he was, so safe to say, you were close. “Fellow pre-school teachers stay together.” He once said to you, smile wide and hand poised for a handshake when you got to know each other on the first day of work.
Pre-school Teacher Sugawara Koushi, whose students became his wing… kids(?) the moment they noticed that their teacher had a crush on the pretty teacher next door. They started making a ruckus during playtime hours, conspiring with the other class to request mixed play times, throwing tantrums and crying when either of you said no. Needless to say, you guys work together more often due to that.
