Under The Cherry Blossom Tree !
Chapter - 1
Ash
Good morning students ! So today as you know , we are on a School Trip.
Ash
In this school trip , some works will be assigned for you to do.
Ash
Class Monitor Violet , please pass these paper chits to other students.
Violet
Sure , Teacher Ash ~
Saying this Violet took the bowl of chit from Ash's hand and started passing them to the students.
Ash
Now that all the chits are passed. Do the task written in it. You all have been provided with a map too , so use it for the location.
Within a few seconds everyone started rushing around to do their respective tasks.
But I was still standing in the same position. I didn't want to do all this shit !
Ash
Miss Misty. You've already got the chit , so what are you waiting for ? Complete your assigned task.
I was a bad girl ! I didn't care whatever shit they were doing.
Ash
Miss Misty , let me inform you. If you won't perform the assigned task then I'll fail you in my subject.
Ash
And you clearly know that if you fail even one subject then you won't be able to pass this class. It will result you to read again in this class.
Ash
I'm sure , you don't want it right ?
He has always been like this. All other teachers just ignore me , but he always insists me to do me homework n'all. Why ? I don't know !
I didn't want to waste my time by talking with him , so I just walked away opening my map.
Misty
*Let's see , what's the task ...*
I opened my chit. It was written : Bring Garnet Flower near Rhodolite Lake.
Misty
What kind of shit task is this ?!
Misty
I'm not gonna do this !
That's when Ash's words rung in my head.
Looking at my map , I started heading towards that lake from the direction given in my map.
Ash
All the students have arrived , right ?
Ash
Wait a minute , where's Misty ?
All the students started looking around , but ofcourse I was nowhere to be found because I was lost !
Ash
Misty isn't here ! Where is she ?!
Just when Ash was searching for me , he heard a gossip.
Violet
That Misty won't be able to return now !
Rosie
Violet , you did something didn't you ?
Violet
Ofcourse , I did. I deliberately gave her a wrong map.
Rosie
That's great ! She deserves it !
Ash
She does ? I don't think so !
Ash
Both of you are going to get a '0' in this task and your parents will also be informed about this !
Violet
But Teacher Ash ...
Ash
All the students quickly head inside the tent and wait for me.
Ash
Don't come out until I return !
Saying this Ash rushed towards the way which he had seen me going towards.
Chapter - 2
While on the other hand , I was under a tree , trying to save myself from the rain.
Misty
Ah ! Why did it have to rain all of a sudden now ?!
This time I didn't complain. I was scared. It reminded me of that day.
The day on which my parents had died in a car accident. That memory flashed in my mind.
I was returning back from my school on that day. I was with my parents inside the car.
But an accident happened. I still remember , it was a rainy day and it was thundering outside.
I have very blur memories of that day. I remember , I was covered with blood.
I thought that I would die , but someone assured me : Hold on ! Don't worry ! Nothing will happen !
Somehow those those words assured me and I was saved. From then on I had changed , I had turned into a bad , alone and sad girl.
Misty
Why thunder out of nowhere ?!
I was shivering with fear.
Those terrible memories were roaming around in my mind.
That's when I heard some footsteps. I looked upwards and saw Ash drenched with water.
Ash
Misty , are you alright ?
I don't know what happened to me at that time , but I just hugged him.
Though I disliked him for his nagging , but he was the only one who always cared for me.
Starting from whether I did my homework or not , whether I ate my lunch or not ... he was always there.
Tears started dropping from my eyes.
Ash
Don't worry , Misty. I'm here. Nothing will happen !
He hugged me and patted on my back.
It reminded me of an incident which had happened on that car accident day.
I realised that Ash was the person who had assured me on that day. I recognised his blur face.
It was probably because we were in the same situation , same position and same words.
I murmured and unconsciously fell on the ground.
The next day when I opened my eyes , I was in the School hospital.
Both Violet and Rosie were punished. My school life was again on.
Ash , as always , kept nagging around me. But this time , something was different ...
Ash
Misty , did you ate your food or not ?
Misty
*Whenever he is around me , why does my heart beats so fast ?!*
Ash
Hey , why is your face so red ? Are you having a fever ?
Saying this Ash came infront of my face. My heart started racing even more.
Misty
W-Why are you so close to my face ?! Stay away !
Ash
Is something wrong with her ?
I realised , the reason why my heart was beating so fast and why was face was so red was because :
Chapter - 3
Time flies so fast. Doesn't it ? Within a few weeks , it was Valentine's Day.
Our school was full in chaos. Juniors were proposing to their Senior. Some students were even proposing to the teachers.
I was also interested in proposing someone. And it was ...
Misty
*Where is he ? I've been searching him from hours but I couldn't find him.*
That's when I saw Ash infront of my eyes. He was surrounded by many girls.
Ofcourse he was popular ! But still , I wanted to propose to him because this was the last month of mine in this school. I didn't want to regret.
I entered inside and infront of everyone , I walked towards him and said :
Ash
Sorry , I can't take this. There's someone else whom I like.
Misty
Stop kidding ! I know you're just giving excuses.
Ash
I'm not lying ! It's the truth.
Misty
Really ? If you don't like me , then why do you always keep nagging around me ?
Ash
It's because , I'm your teacher. I need to care of each and every student.
Misty
Oh , really ? Then why doesn't any other teacher nag around me like you do ?
Violet
Don't think so highly of yourself !
Rosie
Teacher Ash is just pitying you because your parents died.
Violet
Exactly ! It's just his kindness. But you ? You're making a different meaning of that !
Misty
*He didn't say anything. Then was it true what both Violet and Rosie said ?*
Misty
*He pitied me ? Just like others ?*
I couldn't bear this. I ran out of the room , throwing that rose.
I didn't stop. I ran , ran as fast as I could. I jumped on the wall and ran out of the school towards the Cherry Blossom Tree.
It was the only place where I could cry , I could laugh as much as I wanted.
It again started to rain.
Misty
Why ?! Why Ash ?! Why did you did all those things out of pitiness ?!
Misty
Don't you know that I thought your pitiness was something else ?
It again started to thunder. It reminded me of those painful memories.
I was scared. But suddenly I heard a voice : Misty !
It was the same voice and also the same person.
Ash
Misty , are you alright ?
Misty
Why did you come here ? And how did you know that I was here ?
Misty
Don't you know that your this pitiness is poison for me ?
Misty
What ? Again showing me pitiness ?
Ash
I'm not lying , it's true ! I really do love you !
Misty
Tell me how should I believe you ?
Ash
Do your remember the small kid whom you had saved under this cherry tree ?
That's when I remembered that I had saved a kid who was getting beaten up by some other boys.
Ash
I had harboured a crush on you since that time.
Ash
Do you remember our promise ? We had promised that we would always meet under this cherry tree.
Ash
I waited for you but you didn't came.
Misty
It was because I had gone to abroad.
Ash
I got to know about it from your neighbours later. The next time when I saw you was on that car accident day.
Ash
When I got to know that you were reading in this school , I applied for a teacher position to keep an eye on you. I also rejected you because I wanted you to have a normal school life !
Tears started dropping from my eyes.
Misty
So , you really did like me from the starting ...
Ash
Not like , but love ! I love you Misty !
And we both kissed under the Cherry Blossom Tree where we had first met !
