Kuwabara was not in a good mood his first day of sixth grade. He supposed he should have been excited for the start of his last year in elementary school, but all he could think about was how much he'd rather be sleeping than trudging along the sidewalk to his classroom.

"Stupid school," Kuwabara grumbled.

His mood only worsened when he made it to his school and was surrounded by all the excited, chattering voices. It just didn't seem right that all the other kids should be so cheerful when he was so irritated, and their cheer only irritated him further.

In the hallway, one of the students tripped and stumbled heavily into Kuwabara, who was in no mood to be chivalrous. Kuwabara shoved the unfortunate second grader away, and snapped, "Watch where you're going!"

"Sorry!" the boy squeaked and dashed away.

Kuwabara rolled his eyes. He couldn't wait for this day to be over.
