Breathless (Kuroo x Kenma) [timeskip]

Anxious Beginning

8:45 am. I clutch my textbooks tightly in my arms as I tremble up the flight of stairs. With every step that passes by, my legs ache a bit more. I'm so tempted to grasp onto the handrail, but I can't, knowing that I'm carrying the equivalent of an elephant. Well, it feels like that to me anyway. I've always been the skinny weak person. I stare down at my shoes while also being cautious of people walking past me on the stairs, hoping that I don't catch the attention of any of my surroundings. I just want to get through this day as quickly as possible with little problems. I've already had a rocky start this morning, I can't let the day go downhill from there. 

Breathlessly, I finally find myself in the right classroom and make my way to the back. 

Teacher: Welcome back everyone! I hope you've had a good break. 

Blah, blah, blah, no one cares about what the teacher is saying. Just start the lesson so I can actually focus on something that will maybe benefit my life. 

Eventually, we get to the actual lesson. Everyone is buried deep into their work in silence. The only thing that could be heard in the classroom was the teacher typing something on the computer. The teacher's probably writing an email, but why should I care? All I need to do is keep my head down and answer the textbook questions. I can't let these minor things distract me. 

So I keep my head down and read the words in the textbook, trying to make the words make sense in my head. It's unbelievably boring, but I have to be at least a bit productive and get some work done; plus, the near-silent classroom made the atmosphere perfect. I can get through this. 

Well, I thought I could...
