[B][U]Hiro's Prelude[/U][/B]

Sitting in class was such a pain when outside was such a nice day. Hiro was a good student an tried not to cause trouble or make waves but sometimes being locked indoors was like being trapped an today was one of those days.
She focused on her class book reading the lesson data provided and could find little to interest her as new. She knew that should she appear to waver in her attention that the instructor would call on her and try to trip her up an make her look foolish.
This was seldom accomplished because Hiro's memory was her best asset and her teacher's mostly too lazy to formulate a question outside of the core data. All she had to do was make sure to read ahead and memorize the class books as if they were part of a play she was in and solve any problems ahead of time then she was safe.
Today's lesson was set in a military Academy and this teacher was a spy for the bad guys sent to cause her failure so that they wouldn't have to face her in the tournament. Hiro's character was the slightly dizzy type that was in fact a genius of the present subject. If the teacher asked her a question her response was supposed to sound as if she were guessing every answer with uncanny accuracy.
Hiro was one day going to be an international actress who's skill at taking on any role would become legend. She didn't want to be the type of actress that depended on her looks, in fact she wanted to take on roles that people thought she couldn't play. She wanted to be the hero, the villain and even the lead's best friend or even maid, Hiro wanted to act and no part was beyond or beneath her.
The instructor was inspecting her attention on the lesson so she gave him a vacuous smile like she was simply there.
She could see him about to ask her a question till he focused behind her and found a better target.
She for her part wondered if she'd over sold her character an scared him off.
