Mr. Grim Reaper is Also At School?!

The man in front of her was the Grim Reaper himself! What in the world was he doing here, and posing as someone from school!

"Hey, Ari! Good morning!" Violet hugged Arya.

"Hey, Vi." This was the last year Violet was going to SHIA in Singapore. Her father relocated their textile business in France, and she was going to move there for her high school.

"Isn't the new teacher assistant hot?" Violet whispered in Arya's ears.

"Wait… what? Teacher assistant? That guy over there?! Isn't he like 20?!" Arya asked pointing at Mr. Grim Reaper.

"Yup, according to rumors he skipped a lot of grades and finished his degree early. SHIA knowing his background, contacted him immediately when they knew he was looking to practice somewhere."

"Why would such an intelligent guy choose to teach as a career?" Kanon whispered.

"If you just know the mess I'm into, sis. That's why he is here," Arya thought. She was feeling guilty that all her decisions now were going to influence the lives of the people she cared about.

"Come on, let's grab the front seats to continue watching that eye candy!" Violet said as she dragged Arya and Arya dragged Kanon to the seats that were in the student hall.

"Hey, Vi, can't we seat in the back. I hate sitting in the front."

"No way in hell, Ari! This time you will concede my request!" Violet protested.

Arya gave a look of help at her sister, but Kanon only shrugged. She really did not care where they sat.

Violet saw literally three front-row seats that were unoccupied, and she went quickly to them. Arya wanted the earth to swallow her. They had not warned her that Mr. Grim Reaper was also going to be on Earth with her.

"I'm just here in case you accept the offer…" Arya suddenly remembered Mr. Grim Reaper's words.

"So, is he like my prison guard or what?" Arya thought trying to decipher Mr. Grim Reaper's job in her mission.

A few more minutes later, all the students were already seated, and the principal gave the greetings. After that, it was just a bunch of useless announcements. When the assembly was almost at its end, the principal presented Mr. Grim Reaper, who apparently, was called Asher Kenward, and was the new teacher assistant of class 3-A of the middle school division.

"Oh my gosh! Arya! He is going to be in our class!"

"Yay…" Arya faked being excited.

Asher then stood up, shook hands with the principal, and presented himself.

"Hello, everyone, just as Principal Peng has said, I'm Asher Kenward. You may call me Mr. Kenward, I hope to be able a good teacher for all of you." His stormy grey eyes then looked directly at Arya as he smiled.

"Creepy dude!" Arya screamed in her head. Even as a "human" or whatever he was right now, he was still as pale as snow and still dressing all black.

After Asher's self-presentation, Principal Peng reminded everyone to study hard that school term as he did every week. After that, everyone went back to their respective classrooms and buildings.

"See you after school, little sis," Kanon said as she pinched one of Arya's cheeks.

"See you later, sis!"

"See you later, Kanon!" Violet said.

Violet then started talking to Arya about where she was planning to go on vacation with her parents. Arya was half-listening to her since she had too many things to think about. Why would Mr. Grim Reaper, a.k.a. Asher, pose as a teacher in SHIA. Alexander Hayes was going to transfer the next year, how was she going to prevent him from meeting Kanon? Arya was the one who introduced them, but she had seen enough time-travel movies to know that even if she did not do that, the two of them would somehow meet, especially when they were going to be in the same grade and class. The last question was the one that worried Arya the most, had she ever harmed someone without knowing in SHIA?

"Hey… hey… Ari… are you even listening to me?" Violet waved her hand in front of Arya's face.

"Sorry, Vi… I was just thinking about something."

"What's in the mind of our pretty Arya?" Violet taunted.

Arya then waved both of her hands, "Nothing… he he he… just some silly thoughts."

"Hm…" Violet eyed her suspiciously, "were you thinking about Mr. Kenward?"

Arya's face got bright red, "Obviously no! He looks creepy!"

Just then from behind she heard a male voice speaking, "Ms. Ling, I think it's rude to be calling your teacher, creepy."

"Mr. Kenward!" Violet squealed.

Arya's face went pale. Asher had heard her. She was so sure he was going to take her soul to hell now. She just stood there motionless.

"Now, what are you doing standing there? Class is going to start soon. Also, Ms. Ling, don't go calling people by nicknames," Asher said as he walked to the teacher's lounge.

Violet then hurried Arya to their classroom, "Ari! You are in so much trouble!"

Arya could only think, "You don't even know how much!"
