Sixth period is World History.  Which is in Room 307. Since the lunch room is on the first floor. It took a while to ge there. As usual, Makoto glances the room. Jasper is already there, but Holly and Joey arent.

MAKOTO: Damn.

On the wall near the teachers desk. There were photos of people in black and white. Makoto felt it was a little weird. Makoto decided to sit down next to Jasper.

MAKOTO: How did you get here so fast?

JASPER: H- huh, me? Oh, I- I ran.

MAKOTO: ...

Makoto imagines Jasper running in a really weird style.

JASPER: You see our teacher, Mr. Richardson? I know him.

MAKOTO: Okay?

Mr. Richardson introduced himself to the class and things went on. About fifteen minutes into class, the teacher is asking the students what their dreams are, what they want to do. He picks on a girl named Lyla.

MR. RICHARDSON: Lyla Lee, stand up and tell us what you want to do in your future.

Lyla stood still, silent for a moment, until.

LYLA: I want to know the history of my family.

Lyla sat down. The class was quiet.

MAKOTO: Uhm...

MR. RICHARDSON: Makoto Masami, stand up snd tell us what you want to do in your future.

Makoto stood up.

MAKOTO: To be honest, I don't have much of a goal in the future, but by the time I finish High School, I want to be known through all of Sundeen Village.

Richardson gave Makoto a strange look.

MR. RICHARDSON: Alright then. You may sit down.

Makoto sits down.

MR. RICHARDSON: Next is-

Suddenly, a senior walks in the room, almost tripping.

SENIOR: Ooh, hey Mr. Richardson. I was just stopping by.

Makoto's eyes widened.

JASPER: Wh- who is that

MR. RICHARDSON: It's been a while, Yoshi.

Yoshi, the senior, glanced across the classroom and stopped his eyes on one student.

MAKOTO: Yoshi!

YOSHI: Sup, little brother.

Stuff happened. Yoshi left a little while after. Several minutes later, the ball rang. The class was getting up but Mr. Richardson interrupted them.

MR. RICHARDSON: Class, you ever heard of "Sometimes life changes in an instant. We can't always prepare but we can control how we respond."

MAKOTO: ...

MR. RICHARDSON: It's a quote of my favorites. Now, go along.

Makoto blankly stares at Mr. Richardson from the other side of the classroom.

MAKOTO: Alright, Jasper, what class you have after this?

Jasper was gone. Makoto had a bruh face after realizing this.
