Shin grinned as Jaakuna began dancing. Jaakuna Sawada was one of the fun guys, definitely a good friend of Shin's. He knew how to have a laugh and knew how to be cool. He was a bit goofy at times and also a bit of a pervert (like Shin), but he was never bad company to have. Before Shin could go join the girls that were socializing around the lake, Aoi had appeared out of nowhere. Like she usually does. [color=orange]"Oh, I put them in the lakehouse,"[/color] he said, pointing back to the cabin. [color=orange]"They're in the paper bag. Didn't want to leave them just lying about in case you had a plan."[/color] Throughout all this, Shin was blissfully unaware of the wrath he had almost incurred from the angry Yamato behind him. However, he did notice the commotion brought up when one of the larger classmates began picking on Paneru. The boy, who Shin had to learn was a boy, was a timid kid that wouldn't stick up for himself. Shin had stopped bullies from torturing him in the past and was prepared to do the same again. Only Yamato had a different approach to situation. Shin crossed his arms over his chest as he watched the whole confrontation, his expression notably no longer happy or outgoing. He instead seemed like he had a reserved anger, or perhaps disgust, of the drunk kid's treatment. Yamato Minamoru was an interesting case. Shin had always paid attention to him over the years. The rich kid had the best grades in the class, after all. And Shin was positive it didn't come from cheating. Yamato was one of the few that would always score higher than him. There was no doubt he was a strong shinobi, but his personality was lacking. And his volatile attitude was well demonstrated here. [color=orange][i]Had I handled it, the mood wouldn't have been killed,[/i][/color] Shin thought to himself, watching from the shoreline as several others helped Yamato's victim to his feet. With a sigh, Shin turned away from Yamato in preparation to assist Aoi in whatever plan she had with the booze. There was no point in trying to get into Yamato's head, he surely wasn't about to change. Definitely not right now, after showing off his dominance. [color=orange]"That was a buzzkill. I guess I'm gonna..."[/color] Shin stopped mid-sentence as one other voice came out of from silence. He turned to see Daiki had approached Yamato, seemingly ready to square off with him. [color=orange][i]Never took him as the confrontational type,[/i][/color] Shin thought to himself, [color=orange][i]But Yamato is.[/i][/color] Daiki would feel a hand be placed on his right shoulder. Shin approached him, but he didn't move Daiki in any way. It was simply to get his attention. [color=orange]"Not the time, man,"[/color] he said, his voice intentionally lower and more serious than normal. His blue eyes shifted to look into Yamato's briefly, before he removed his hand from Daiki's shoulder. The serious tension in the vicinity was broken harshly when Sentou Uchiha, one of the attractive girls that Shin was looking for, burst out in song. Shin's face visibly contorted in discomfort as she began singing. [color=orange]"Why?"[/color] he let out, turning away from Yamato and Daiki. [color=orange]"Why can't her voice be as good as her body...?"[/color] Thankfully her song was relatively brief, otherwise Shin would've likely broken down crying. It seemed that he had entirely forgotten about Daiki and Yamato at this point, as he began to walk away from them without another word or glance. [color=orange]"This will haunt my dreams..."[/color] he mumbled to himself. Her song was terrible, but at least it brought fun back to the party. After taking a deep breath, Shin recomposed himself and his usual grin was back on his face. [color=orange]"Alright. Where was I? Right, girls."[/color]
