What is it with this class? thinks Shotaro.
His point is valid, there's an awful lot of reputable students, both good and bad. He shrugs to himself. He figures that as long as they don't acquaint themselves with him, he'll be fine. Still though, that kid in the class is pretty scary. Shotaro's heard the rumors about the kid's family, and a lot of people seem to believe that it's both real and liable to rub off onto anyone close to them. Shotaro would have to make a special point to stay away from that kid.
As school went on, Shotaro fell asleep parts of the way. He couldn't help it, it was just the introduction day! It probably would have been better if he stayed awake so he could learn his teachers names, but still, it was an introduction day. After school, Shotaro yawns a bit and surveys the distance for a place to be alone for a while. He finds an old, empty park, abandoned by children and its owners. He might as well take that place.
Shotaro takes a deep breath and smiles widely. He had to keep up an appearance. He takes the stance of a sprinter from track, attempts to make a dash, and trips, falling flat on his face.
I'm beginning to hate acting like an energetic idiot...I think I might be actually turning into one. Crap.
