Alex snores in the classroom for a few minutes, there was silence as he was in the class just sitting there. He wasn't the only one in class though indeed there was someone else in the class. The other person looked as he turned his head to face Alex's sleeping body. He looked at Alex as he then thought of looking at the clock; it was almost time for class. He touches Alex as he shakes him to wake him up. The man spoke softly to Alex as he opened his eyes and saw the person who woke him up. It was a boy with light brown hair in a bun and pinkish eyes as he looked at him as he woke up. The man had a small and short stature, his healthy skin was clear and nice and was taken care of. The sun hit him from the classroom windows. It wasn't hot but more of a light heat that hit him.

"Uh, A-Alex it's time for class."

Alex opened his mouth as a small yawn escaped his mouth, he nodded towards the man tiredly as he brought his head up. He didn't know the man's name but he saw him in this class before but due to him not having any friends besides Fuzumi, Daizen, and Hiroto he hadn't interacted with him before. He scratches the side of his cheek as he smiles and begins to ask him a question. He was a bit shy, due to him not interacting with people outside of his friend group. He looks down at the classroom floor a bit in embarrassment as he asks for the man's name. He wipes some drool off the right side of his face that he gained from sleeping as he tries to hold a conversation with the man without being too awkward.

"S-sorry, I know we are in the same class, but what was your name again?"

"Uh Asagiri Toroma, y-you can just call me Toroma."

It would seem that Toroma was shy just like Alex, they were both stuttering in their words almost for the same reason, his voice was light and feminine. Alex laughs out of nervousness, he smiles once more as he tries to play off that he's not nervous. He is socially awkward though and this was due to him smiling once more. Toroma sat there as he spoke to break the silence quickly. Alex looked at Toroma's face as they kept speaking, he noticed his bright pink eyes and his hair in a bun.

"A-Alex, oh yeah I remember you were the transfer student back in Junior High right?"

"Yeah, I remember you, You came up to me since I was new and it was rare for a transfer student to transfer, especially from America."

Alex thought to himself as he thought about the first time he came to Japan in public school, he mentally hurt when he thought about his first day of Junior High, he remembered getting ready thinking that Japan was just like how it was in the anime, he smiles awkwardly to himself as he also remembers the first introduction to the class. In his memory, he stands up, he would yell once as he also annoyingly speaks to the class.

"I will become the King of Wizards!"

Alex would stop remembering that situation, still cringing about that past situation, he continues his conversation with Toroma still keeping his awkward smile. No one had brought that up in such a long time that he almost tried to forget but now it was fresh in his mind. He remembers meeting Hiroto, Daizen, and Fuzumi in Junior High. He smiles as he remembers what they used to look like when they were much shorter, he thought to himself.

"I was a real loser back then I guess I still am."

Alex said, laughing awkwardly as he closed his eyes and scratched the back of his head simultaneously. Toroma shakes his head as he responds to Alex's remark, he wants him to feel better.

"Well no I don't think you are. I think liking anime is cool. I didn't expect that from a person from America."

Alex was shocked by this, no one liked him when he came to this school or his last one, he was displayed as a weird kid but someone other than his friends thought he wasn't and that made him quickly smile, hiding his happiness to not come off as weird.
