Masaru froze, not because of the damned girl who made them have homework, not because of homework, no, he froze because of something much more entirely worse than homework: seatmates. Masaru has always been home schooled, having no friends, and now, all of a sudden he has to [i]sit[/i] with someone? This was way too sudden for Masaru, Masaru couldn't handle it, his temperature was going up, he felt sick, he felt ill. 

"S- seat... mates..." Masaru whimpered out as he held his hand up to his forehead, it was hot, absurdly hot for no apparent reason. Inside of his head he wasn't faring any better, his mind was in a complete war zone, with the only mental image that could compare to the inside of his mind were small little mini Masarus' running around in his head, panicking as they threw around pieces of paper. 

[i]First the backpack... and now this?[/i] Masaru looked down at the backpack, and at the sight of it, his mind went into an even more panicky state, he still had yet to solve the main problem at hand: [i]What am I going to do with this backpack?[/i] Masaru began to shake, he was afraid, afraid of what was going to happen, but in all reality, nothing was going to happen, Masaru was just overreacting. [i]They're going to make fun of me, I have to get out of here... I have to...[/i]" Masaru turned his head to look out the window, a beam of light entering his eyes, and then, as if Masaru had suddenly just turned into one of the world's smartest people, an idea popped into Masaru's head. 

Masaru stood up, walking over to the teacher, completely forgetting about the backpack - but this was all part of the plan. Masaru then did a slight bow towards the teacher. "Mr. Tadashi, please let me go to the nurse's office, I believe I have a fever and I'm burning up. Please tell me the homework as well." Masaru was still burning up, his internal temperature staying at a burning 106F (41.1C), but inside of his head, Masaru was celebrating.

[i]If I can avoid leading this classroom without my backpack, if I can avoid sitting with a "seatmate" for today, all just by getting sent to the nurse's office, then maybe, just maybe I'll be able to go home and never attend here anymore![/i] Masaru thought, the miniature people inside of his head jumping about.
