Michi: *Grabbing Kirumi by the shoulders.* WHAT!?

Kirumi: Please let go of me.

*Kirumi and Michi walk into class, taking seats at one of the adjoined desks in the front middle of the room.*

Michi: Where is he?! You said you know him right?

Kirumi: Yeah, but I don't think he's here yet. You got an obsession or somethin?

*Takumi walks in unnoticed and heads directly to the back left of the class.*

Takumi: *In his head* I found success in my last piece, but now I have a target on my head bigger than before. Everyone online keeps commenting on whether or not I'll be able to keep this up.

*Two students sit next to Takumi.*

Student One: Hey Takumi, I didn't know you were so popular.

Student Two: Yeah man, how do you do it? That piece was super intriguing.

Takumi: I'm sorry, I don't think we've met *Laughs awkwardly.*

Student One: Oh sorry, my name's Marcus.

Student Two: Sim, nice to meet ya.

*The two engage in a choreographed handshake, Takumi goes for a handshake while Marcus has his fist out. The two awkwardly look at each other.*

Marcus: Anyway, let's quiet down. I think class is about to start.

*On the other side of the room, Michi and Kirumi converse.*

Michi: Class is about to start and I don't want to turn around and look at everybody! *Trying not to look around.*

Kirumi: Why not just wait until the teacher is taking attendance and we can find where he's sitting that way.

Michi: I know, I'll wait until the professor is taking attendance and we'll wait for him to call his name, what was it? Seafood?

Kirumi: ......... Seifude.

*Professor Cooper walks into the front of class and sets his bag down and begins taking attendance.*

Cooper: Hello Class, Welcome to Humanities 1024, I'll be taking roll for the first couple of sessions, shall we begin?

*Michi sits patiently.*

*As Cooper nears the end of his list, Michi grows impatient and begins tapping her foot.*

Cooper: Sanchez?

Student Three: Here.

Cooper: Seifude?

Takumi: *While drinking water out of his bottle, he attempts to answer roll call.* He-here! *He chokes on his water.*

*Michi whips her head back and locks onto Takumi, who is trying to recover.*

*The rest of the class start to mutter to one another about Takumi.*

Marcus: *Whispering* Don't worry Takumi, I bet they're not talking about your stutter choke. *Giving Takumi a thumbs up.*

*Sim facepalms.*
