If I thought kindergarten was bad well, elementary school was even worse.

In kindergarten there was at least a modicum of freedom, of being left alone to do whatever we wanted with our time as long as we didn't disturb others and stayed inside the designed classrooms. Elementary school didn't offer such privileges. And being forced to study all over again things I already knew was so mind-numbingly boring that it was slowly driving me insane. Which was why I was on the rooftop instead of the classroom cloud watching. It was pretty relaxing. Well worth the lecture I will be given later courtesy of Kyoko-chan.

"Herbivore,", a voice called and I rose up slightly to better look at the menacing figure of Hibari Kyoya, in all of its eight year old glory, "for being caught in the act of truancy I will bite you to death!" And he pounced. Who knew predators started hunting so young?

It didn't spoke well of my sanity that my only thought through the haze of pain was that, next time, I would take care to not be caught.

It was the start of a beautiful friendship. I could tell.
