Joana Fahrenheit: A Short Story

1071 Words5 Pages

The principal of Heilig High School where I attended was a woman in her forty named Joana Fahrenheit.
Though she was already in her forty, her appearance was still quite good.

But, compared to most woman her age that I have seen, Mrs. Joana Fahrenheit’s appearance was more pleasant. She still had a pair of blue eyes that were still brimming with confidence despite her age. Besides, even though her chest-length wavy blonde hair had become paler, Mrs. Joana Fahrenheit’s body was still skinny over the course of three years I saw her.

“Transfer student?”
Several days ago, Mrs. Fahrenheit received a letter from Einzel High School. They told her that they sent one of their student here, to Heilig Town, to fulfill a certain mission.

“Problem?” Regina asked, “What is it, ma’am?”
“You see, they forgot to send that student’s data.”
“Wait, if they don’t send that, doesn’t that mean,”

And he is supposed to arrive today too. That’s why, I want your help on this matter.”
Picking up someone without knowing his name, appearance, and even gender.

However, if I looked at it carefully, it was not that worse.
In fact, it was
