Roselle: The Forbidden Gate
"Domingo, Clara!" The teacher in front called their names for attendance.
"Present!"
"Fuyuka, Minisama!"
"I'm here, Sensei!"
"Hirai, Roselle!" He called but got no answer.
"Hirai, Roselle!" He called once again.
".........."
"Hirai Roselle!" Mr. Garuko, their PE Instructor called. His face were already red as if he is ready to strangle Rose but tried to calm his self.
Meanwhile, Rose stood up straight from where she was currently sitting. Her eyes were wide open as if she was startled by the call. "S-sir!" She salute. Her classmates almost fell from their seats because of what she had done.
"One plus One is equals to Two, sir!" Still, she salutes. Nonoko Kisami, her best of friend, laughed endlessly.
"HIRAI ROSELLE!" Mr. Garuko called with his angry tone, the reddness of his face has increased.
"What? But my answer was correct Sir--oh! Sorry, I didn't know that you were talking about the subtraction, Sir. Hehe!" She chuckled slightly.
The whole classroom was filled by a never ending echoes of laughter.
"You are so priceless, Rose!" Said her classmates.
"You're the best! Oh my!" Another comment came from her other classmate.
"Wahahaha! I love you best friend!" Kisami inserted.
Hirai Roselle was confused. 'Did I do something funny?' She thought.
"Psst." Someone poked her arm. She turned her head on her left and saw Mirae Kikiam in tone of red. Kikiam supressed a laugh and spoke. "He is calling for an attendance, dimwit!" Then, she chuckled.
"Oh!" Rose said out loud. What Kikiam said sinked in her mind and scratched her nape. "Hehehehe! Present, Sir!" She voiced out and took her sat down on her chair.
"KRIIIIIING!" "KRIIIIIING!"
"Phew! Finally!" Rose sighed. She went out of her classroom and walked in the middle of the hallway alone. Nonoko Kisami has still her class for ABM and Rose was too lazy to wait for her friend so she decided to go home early.
She is now walking on the street when she saw a black smoke coming from not too far away from where she is. She set aside the thought and think that maybe, her mother is grilling again and the meat was burned.
Few steps later Rose noticed that there are so many people chit chatting and crowding the path to her house. Rose was confused but did not mind until a voice called her.
"Roselle!" It was their nearby neighbor, Shimoko Khalil. "Roselle!"
"What? You need something?" She asked while smiling politely.
"Y-your mother---she's gone."
