Well the class room was duller than expected but it was about the same as life over in the states except a bit more formal. He didn't know if things would change or not but hey anything was possible. Like an experienced samurai getting beat with a wooden oar. Or really graphically violent weddings apparently. Not many people bothered him and he was glad that just because he was a foreigner he was not crowded by the local kids trying to find out more about stuff from over the seas. However as he sat down at lunch to eat a sandwich he made for himself, a cheese one, he was suddenly surrounded by two boys and a girl. They looked like they were second years. "Hello?" Jace asked the group in as clear Japanese as he could get out of his English speaking throat. "Sup dude? This is Kai, I'm Shin, and that's Katsumi! Mind if we sit here?" The kids asked Jace who shrugged indifferently to the group of kids. The girl had long dark hair and pretty blue eyes, the guy named Shin whom addressed him on the right had a buzz cut style hair that was black and hazel eyes, and the kid named Kai had spiky brown hair with brown eyes. Typical Japanese kids he'd say nothing all together special. "Thanks! By the way what class are you in?" asked Shin once more at which Jace replied he was a third year and his name was Jace Caedus, "Oh so you're our senpai huh? Well that cool to know." Jace said as he ate his food and sipped on some water. He wished his lunch was more tasty but hey it was cheap and cost effective and it wasn't ramen. "I suppose not that it really matters anyway. So do you guys come from around here?" Jace asked trying to be polite...in truth he just wanted to shut up and eat his lunch in peace but having a friend or two would be nice..."Yep! Shin and I grew up together and Kai kinda just fell in with our group." replied Katsumi who smiled at him as she started to eat her ramen. "Why do you have to say it like that?" Kai asked as Shin told him to stop being so gloomy and that she was kidding, "Sorry Jace Senpai-" Shin started as Jace held up his hand, "Dude I don't frankly care if he's got a crappy mood school sucks when you have to deal with waking up from summer vacation. I don't blame the guy." Jace told Shin who was confused for a moment but shrugged it off afterward as Jace being a foreigner. After all Jace wasn't a Japanese name, he didn't look like them, and he didn't have an accent plus that strange last name? It was just a bit weird all around. "So why choose to sit with the new kid?" Jace flat out asked them as Kai answered this time, "No reason really we normally sit here and besides it's hard being the new kid in school. Figured you'd need some company at least on your first day." Kai told Jace who nodded his head, "Yeah thanks for that I'm just used to eating alone. Never was much of a friendly person. Sorry if I'm boring I guess." Jace told them awkwardly at which Katsumi waved her hand and told him that it was alright and that it wasn't a problem at all.
