(kai)First meetings are always interesting

[Sora Takenouchi]

Sora was sitting in class waiting for the bell to ring so that she could go out side. Part of her hated being in the school for long periods of time but she was a good student regardless of that. She just didn't like being cooped up for so long. She looked up at the clock annoyed that she was still sitting there waiting and waiting. She sighed a bit and looked back at the teacher talking and writing on the board. Then there was the bell that rung into her ears and made her jump out of her seat. She must have half fallen asleep or something as he startled her so much. She laughed at herself and ran out of the classroom in a not so orderly fashion. After all it was time to go out and play about. She slid out the door and to recess with out a second thought. She got together which a group of kids kicking a soccer ball around. Soon enough there was a game going on and no one could stop them from doing it either. The teacher called for the end of recess and everyone groaned as they knew what that meant.

Soon enough however the school day was done and Sora was off looking for something else to do other than play soccer yet again when she finally got outside. She wanted to make sure all of her things were exactly how they needed to be before she left the school building again. Soon enough she was outside of her class room and walking down the hall way to get out towards the exit of the school. She wasn't paying attention and ran into someone and nearly fell over them and she quickly righted herself and put her hand out to help the other should she have knocked them over. "Sorry about that." Her sweet voice came out with a mix of concern and sincere apology. She kept a small smile on her face though as she waited for the other to say something to her.

[Kai Starshine]

Another day in class and Kai was already looking forward to the weekend, despite it being a Wednesday. His parents were picking him up early so they could go to a martial arts competition. His mother was a martial arts instructor and a physiotherapist part time. Some of her students were in the competition and she had wanted Kai to see a live martial arts competition. Apparently it was healthy for Kai to see how people fought and defended themselves in the outside world, though Kai didn’t see how it was healthy for him, though he supposed his mother just wanted him to know how to defend himself if the time ever came for it. As usual, the black-haired boy’s scribe was writing stuff down for him, and would every so often make sure he understood it all.

The teacher was writing Japanese phrases on the board and made the class repeat it altogether then individually. Kai was a natural and the teacher seemed pleased that he pronounced it right. When the bell rang for the end of the day, Kai’s peers left, leaving the scribe, Kai and the teacher alone. The teacher complicated Kai on his participation in class today, smiled, wished him a good night and left. Once Kai was finished, he rushed to get outside, unfortunately running over a few students in the process. He managed to get out and breathed in some fresh air before heading to the bench he sometimes sat at where he’d wait for his mum or dad to pick him up.

Unfortunately, Kai didn’t get very far, for he fell out of his kaye walker and was on the pavement. He looked up see a girl with a hat and a yellow sleeveless top.
“Sorry about that.”
Kai smiled and extended his hand out to her. At least she sounded sincere about having knocked him over. Most kids were kind of awkward around him, mostly because they were afraid they’d catch his disability. “It’s ok. Nothing to worry about, I fall over a lot anyway.”
