Jotaro POV

It was his first day of high school as a freshman. His mother just moved towns so this was a completely different school with completely different people. Although he wasn't really close with anyone at his old school anyway. 

Not wanting to talk to anyone, the tall, dark boy sat down in a seat in about the middle of the class. There were about five other people in there with him. They were all talking amongst themselves, only causing Jotaro to feel incredibly awkward as he tried not to pay attention to their conversations. 

Jotaro had his head resting on his arms as he sat there all alone and bored. He wasn't one to admit it, but he did enjoy people's company to an extent. When the boy wasn't paying attention, a vibrant red-head walked in and sat directly in front of Jotaro. Before the tall boy could even blink, the red-head had turned around to introduce himself. He smiled brightly at the gloomy boy, something people didn't do often.

"Hey! My name is Kakyoin! What's yours?" The vibrant boy seemed to glow as he spoke and Jotaro seemed to smile a bit without even noticing. "Jotaro." His deep voice did not deter the boy as he jumped up and down in his seat. "Today's my first day! Do you wanna be best friends?" Jotaro was caught off guard by the simple question. No one had ever asked to be his friend before. Unsure of himself, Jotaro responded. "Sure."

The two boys spent all of their first period talking together, well Kakyoin did most of the talking. Jotaro didn't mind though. After a couple periods, the two found each other again in gym. They were both decently athletic, Kakyoin played baseball and Jotaro played basketball back at his old school. 

Kakyoin was busy talking to the baseball coach about tryouts, so Jotaro didn't bother him. 

A/N: Jotaro is gonna march snare at this high school. Idk if that's a thing in Japan but I'm a percussionist so this just works better for me.

After a quick round of basketball played by everyone in the gym, they were given time to just kinda do whatever. Jotaro sat near the wall and grabbed his pad and sticks from his bag and began practicing. Since he moved to the high school from somewhere different, he was behind everyone else in the battery (marching percussion like snares, tenors, and bass drums). Kakyoin spotted the boy and waltzed towards him. 

"What's that for?"

Jotaro stopped to look up at the red-head, his eyes filled with wonder. "Oh it's just a practice pad, I've got a lot of catching up to do." Jotaro stated plainly as he gestured to the sheet music in front of him.

"That looks complicated." Jotaro chuckled at the boy's comment. Kakyoin decided to sit beside the taller kid, still eyeing the music curiously. The two sat in comfortable silence as Kakyoin watched Jotaro drum along to a met in his ear. The red-head was absolutely captivated, he had seen people drum before, but this was different. There was a kind of passion when Jotaro did it, like it was more than just the sticks and pad to him. It was a way to express himself where words could not. (I am so sorry for anyone who isn't a percussionist this must be so boring to read) Once the bell rang, Jotaro packed his things and the two walked out together. Eventually parting ways, the red-head waved vigorously at Jotaro. Jotaro laughed at the other's antics and strolled to his next class.

Time skip to after school

Jotaro was staying after, since there was band practice/tryouts after school. While sitting in a hallway and practicing to some music, another kid carrying a pad and sticks appeared. He eyed the boy suspiciously, it was obvious this guy had been here before, he looked like an upperclassmen. The new boy then waved and smiled at Jotaro. "You must be new! I heard you down the hall, you're not too shabby! Might even make the snare line your first year." Jotaro stood up, turning off the music and reached his hand out for the older male to take. "The name's Jotaro." The other boy shook his hand and introduced himself. "And I'm Joseph! Your section leader and center snare." The tall brunette struck a dramatic pose as he bragged, and then laughed it off. 

A/N: Hey guys! This was just kinda something I did out of the blue, so let me know if I should continue. Also if you came here from my Zolu stories, I swear I am working on that one too! Anyway thanks for reading!
