No change. Some ol', same ol'...
Kyoujou Kenny
I
don't really know Kenny's last name, so I just used his Japanese
name as his last name instead. There really isn't anything to
change about him.
Bloodstained Eyes
Prelude VI
"Hey… hey, Kenny."
Kenny glared at the blue-haired boy and continued with his work. Hearing Takao huffed out air frustratedly, Kenny ignored his angry actions, and watched him erase whatever it was written in his test paper crazily with the end of his pencil. When the boy sitting beside him turned to look at him again, Kenny quickly went back to his test paper, wildly finishing the last question on the exam paper.
Before Takao could open his mouth, Kenny quickly stood up, ran to the front desk, handing the completed exam to the teacher. Kenny sighed with relief as he went back to his desk and took out other necessary work he needed to finish for Biology. Grinning evilly he watched as Takao turned to his other side and leaned over to Max.
"Hey… hey, Max!"
"Takao, ssshh!"
"Is something the matter?" the class biology teacher' s head snapped up to stare at Max and Takao, eyes hidden behind a pair of thick glimmering eyeglass.
Takao laughed nervously.
"Of course not, Mr. Biology-Teacher," he chuckled tensely.
The class laughed whilst the teacher scowled.
"Excuse me," he began. "But I believe this Mr. Biology-Teacher has a name. Would you mind telling me what it is…"—the students did not fail to notice the brown eyes quickly moving down the attendance list on his desk and back up to Takao—"…Mr. Kinomiya?"
Max rolled his eyes when Takao shrugged and quickly shrank back to his chair, trying to hide behind the boy in front of him. He turned to Max, and cupped a hand to one side of his mouth.
"Hey, hey," he whispered. "What's the dude's name again?"
"Takao!" Kenny cried lowly. "You've had him ever since last year! How can you not remember!"
Takao shrugged.
"Beats me," he replied. "I don't really have time to remember boring teachers' names."
"What's that you say?" the teacher piped in, frowning a little.
"Err, nothing, Mr.Tanuki" Max emphasized the instructor's name to Takao, turning to glare at him comically. "Takao's just asking something about, uhm, question 40."
Takao frowned and idiotically raised an eyebrow at Max.
"I was?" he asked loudly, scratching the back of his neck. "No… I'm not that far yet"—he rolled his eyes exaggeratedly—"I wanted to know what the third question was—"
"Hehe," Kenny interrupted. "He's such a joker, isn't he?"
Max chuckled alongside him.
"Yeah," he said. "That Takao!"
A few students laughed, leaving a confused Takao by himself, scratching his head quizzically.
Huh? What's so funny? Left his thoughts trailing off as the teacher scowled once again and grabbed what seems to be the attendance paper.
"Very well," Mr. Tanuki began. "We've only started this class half an hour ago with a fifty-questions exam of the science of living organisms and you start off with your stupidity, Mr. Kinomiya, since the start of… last year."
Takao laughed.
"Eh, I didn't know you remembered me that long," he exclaimed unsure and added softly to himself, pouting, "Cuz I don't even remember you."
"And you're telling me… you're still on the third question," the teacher stated, tapping his finger on the edge of the paper he held. "Would you mind telling me what's holding you back?"
"He's just kidding, sir," Max answered. "He's not really on the third—"
Meanwhile, Kenny leaned over to Takao and looked over his test. He gave the look of daggers.
"Takao!" Kenny exclaimed lowly as he grabbed the blue-haired boy's exam and scanned it. "You haven't even answered any of it!"
"Excuse me?" Mr. Tanuki asked.
Takao looked at Kenny, to Max, to the class, and then at the teacher, closed his eyes, crossed his arms and… shrugged.
"What's the big deal?" he asked. "It's not like my first time to leave an exam blank. And you said this doesn't even count as marks so there ain't no use writing an exam that's so pointless."
When the whole class grew quiet, Mr. Tanuki sighed and placed his hands loosely on his face, sliding them down to his chin with a tired I-can't-believe-this look and an I'm-not-a-babysitter pursed look in his lips.
"Very well," he sighed. "Takao Kinomiya… you've managed to stop a 'pointless' exam once more and next time… I will appoint you with a test that will count for the whole year. Especially yours, Kinomiya."
Thank god! Takao exhaled with relief and slump down his chair. I don't know how much more of these useless tests I can take!… not that I've bothered writing on any of them.
"You really are persuasive and hard-headed," Max told him. "It's no wonder all your teachers can't do anything about you."
"And as for today," Mr. Tanuki began. "I'll finish off reading the attendance list and I don't expect a word coming out of your mouth again, Mr. Kinomiya."
"Yeah, yeah," Takao mumbled and continued off with what he had been doing before the class bell rang.
How do you pass all your classes? Kenny mused, staring at a now befallen asleep Takao; cheeks lay over crossed arms on desk.
The names listed on the attendance lists went on for what seemed like five minutes, as the names were still on S. Max succeeded on waking Takao in time for his name called aloud and was able to keep the boy awake by hitting him continuously on the head and back.
Irritated as he was at Max and this Biology class; Takao draped an elbow on the side of the side, placing his chin dully on his palm, glaring at the hazy sight of Mr. Tanuki.
I hate this class. I should've joined Kai and skipped this one, too.
Yawning forcefully—and a little bit noisily—Takao stretched his arms and went back to listening to the teacher. Or, at least, tried to listen.
"Hiromi Tachibana?"
No answer.
Mr. Tanuki frowned. The school had gotten a call that this student would be at school sometime last week, and was told so many good things about her. And yet, she still wasn't here.
"Is Hiromi here?"
Takao half-heartedly turned to look behind him, finding a deserted seat from the back. He turned back at the teacher and pulled out his bottom lips lazily.
"Not here," he responded loudly and closed his yes tiredly. "Who the hell is this Tachibana? I have so many damn classes under this chick's name and I've never met anyone whose named—"
"Mr. Kinomiya!" the teacher cried. "If you swear in this class again, I'll have you standing out in the hallway as of yesterday and today's behavior!"
"Oh… oops," Takao chuckled. "I was suppose to think that…"
Mr. Tanuki shot him a look and continued down with his list. He gave the boy a few peers every now and then as he watched Takao yawned continuously, not even bothering to notice how loud he was. After the attendance was finished, the teacher stood up and started on the blackboard, writing about their new assignment.
Stupid, Takao told himself, if Max and Kenny would've shut up I would've still been writing that damn exam and spent the rest of my time sleeping!
What time is it, anyway… I'm too tired to look at my watch. Takao yawned once more and wiped a tear that slid off his right eye. He was about to ask Kenny for the time when the classroom door instantly opened. Seeing as how his had was tilted away from the door's view, he couldn't find the time to turn around and see who it was.
Unfortunately, the principal's voice came somewhere behind his head, and he lazily turned to look at him.
"Sorry to interrupt your class, Mr. Tanuki," the principal's voice boomed. "But I'd like to introduce you to your new student."
Principal Euda strode inside the class with, to Takao's view, a student on his side. Except that, he couldn't see who it was as the person was standing to the side of the principal where the students could not see her. Turning in front of the class, Mr. Euda smiled and held out a hand to more over the boy or girl's shoulder.
And when Takao gotten a full view of the new kid, his discovery told him it was a girl. He squinted his blurry tired eyes and peered sharply at the view in front of him.
"Class, I'd like you to meet your new classmate; Tachibana Hiromi…"
CRASH!
Instead, the whole class turned to look at Takao… who had now fallen off his chair, watching the new girl with wide shock eyes.
