Down in the Mud

Chapter 2

"Hey puppy," Shige asked Sho during class, "What is wrong with Tatsuya?"

" I don't know, I haven't seen him today." Sho started to look worried.

Ms. Katori turned around to see who was making noise and saw a class paying attention, with the exception of an apparently sleeping Shigeki Sato and a "watching the birds fly by," Sho Kazamatsuri.

"Out!" She cried, and the whole of the class knew whom she was talking about.

"Stop!" she screamed as they were almost to the door. "I want you to recite the last verse we read."

"To be or not to be..." Shige started.

"This is Romeo and Juliet! Not Hamlet, OUT!"

Once Sho and Shige were out of the class, and the door slammed shut, they saw an image so startling, they both were like "what!" Tatsuya was sitting on the floor and looked up when he heard a door nearby slam. Looking up he saw Shige and Sho coming to sit on either side of him. "Why in the world are you out here?" Shige asked, shocked entirely.

A worried Sho followed suit with a question "Are you ok? What's wrong Tatsuya?"

"Nothing, people make mistakes sometimes." Tatsuya told the duo next to him. Sho let it go, Shige knew better.
