Kiyoshi and Tommy

Four

Kiyoshi's POV:

During homeroom there was apparently another new kid. All I remember is him saying a joke then I can't remember after that.

I just forgot.

Again.

I didn't have a introduction to the class because I requested not to. I don't really like people.

I just kept my head down and thought to myself is this what I really wanted?

A lot of people including me packed into a small place, bullies, dirty bathrooms, hot classrooms, and rude teachers. What's not to dislike?

It's already too late to go back, accept it. I could feel the stares of people directed at me. Was it my white hair? My mask? My cold looking sliver eyes?

Why were they staring? I don't want them to stare. Say a joke, maybe they'll stop then.

Make it out of something the teacher is saying.

"We'll be learning about Alexander Hamilton and later watch the musical."

Uh, uh, uh.

"Y-y-you know what Alexander
Hami-ilton's favorite food was? Ham! G-get it?" My face heated up hearing myself stumbled my own words. I placed my head down on my desk embarrassed.

Great, I already messed up.

I better be ready to hide.
