"Nice to meet you Ivy." He chuckled softly. "You've got one of those too, eh? An older sibling that's a lot more like a parent? My sister's like that." He checked his watch. "Well, I hope you do transfer to Ikebukuro High, and if you do, I'll see you in the halls. My lunch break is almost over, I have to get going if I want to make it back to class on time." He went back to his table and cleared it off. Then Al shouldered his messenger bag, gave Ivy a smile and a wave, and headed out the door. He took a breath of air, even though city air wasn't exactly the healthiest, and a content smile hovered over his face. Strange as it was, this was his home, and it was bustling and vibrant. Then the smile slipped off his face, and he lowered his eyes as he walked back to campus. It was best not to look like you were looking for trouble here. You just might get it.
