Kiku sat quietly in class, taking notes periodically. He focused on what the teachers said and took the notes he knew would be necessary to pass any tests or exams. Once the bell had rung, announcing the end of the class periods for the day, everyone quickly hurried up and shoved their stuff into their bags before dashing out the door. Kiku always waited back till everyone was gone. Not only so he wouldn't get trampled, but also so he could have five seconds of peace before having to interact with anyone.
Kiku wasn't the best at English speaking at W Academy, and although most people knew it, that didn't stop them from trying to become his friend. Kiku manuvered his way through the hallways of the school, dodging oncoming students skillfully as he headed towards the door of the study all to head back to his dorm. He had nearly made it to the door when something, or someone caught his arm. He stopped mid-stride to turn and look at who had stopped him.
A boy that looked just younger than Kiku, having blonde hair and bright green eyes, and rather large eyebrows had grabbed onto Kiku's arm to stop him.
"Oh um. Is there something you need?" Kiku asked curiously, wondering why he had been stopped and which one of his classes he had recognized the other male from.
"Oh, sorry. My name is Arthur Kirkland. We have the same science class together." Arthur introduced himself, trying to get to the point.
"I see. Is there something you needed?" Kiku asked, noticing how strong the others accent was.
"No its just, I noticed you were having a bit of trouble with your English so I was wondering if I could help you out in anyway." Arthur explained.
Kiku stood there in a shocked state for a moment. He knew his English wasn't the best, but no one other than his roommate had offered to help him before.
"Yes, I think that would be nice." Kiku finally answered after what seemed like ages but only had to be a minute or two.
"Great!" Arthur smiled. "We can meet up after our classes tomorrow! Be seeing you!" The smile remained on his face as he dashed off in the same direction he had come from.
Kiku sighed, a small smile forming on his face before he continued on his way to his dorm room. When he arrived, Feliciano was already there, sitting on his bed and drawing in his notebook. Feliciano was a bit younger than Kiku. He had bright red hair with an usually long curl on the left side that never seemed to stay down and auburn eyes to match. Some might say that he was a bit scatter-brained, but he could really focus if he tried.
Feliciano looked up with his usual smile and waved at Kiku as the latter closed the door behind him.
"How were the rest of your classes?" Feliciano asked, tilting his head.
"They went well, just like every other day it seems." Kiku replied, setting his bag beside his desk and laying down on his bed.
"Aw don't be like that!" Feliciano exclaimed, setting his book aside. "There's all kinds of exciting things to do every single day!"
Kiku couldn't help but smile at the other's enthusiasm. Feliciano always did manage to see the world in a brighter perspective way than everyone else.
"Anyway," Feliciano started, "Me and a couple of other people are going to go out to see a movie tomorrow. It would be really cool if you joined us!" Feliciano said excitedly, hoping Kiku would agree to go for once.
"I'm sorry Feli, I actually have plans tomorrow." Kiku replied, the small grin from earlier returning once more.
Feliciano gasped in excitement, he, like so many other students, had been trying to help Kiku get out of his secluded shell since forever. It made Feliciano happy that his friend had finally found something that might interest him and help him to open up.
"Really!? What are you doing? Please tell me!" Feliciano nearly begged.
Kiku simply chuckled, sitting up on his bed. "One of the boys from my science class has offered to help me with my English after our classes tomorrow. I wasn't going to agree at first, but at least trying to learn how to say things properly is better than not even trying."
"You have a point there!" Feliciano smiled. "Well," He added, standing up, "I'm going to go say hello to Lovino before we head over to the common area. You can join us if you want." He smiled, heading for the door.
Kiku thought it over for a moment. He had met Lovino before, but got the vibe that Lovino really didn't like him. Granted, Feliciano said that he never seemed to like anyone, but that was just his personality. Lovino had dark brown hair with an extended curl to match Feliciano's, but on the opposite side.
After another moment of thought Kiku finally answered. "You go on ahead, I'll catch up."
