[b]Toma Tanaka - Tanaka Residence | April 7th, Early Morning[/b]

Toma sat cross-legged on his chair, eyes dully focused on the screen in front of him. The monitor was the only source of light in the room, an inconsistent harsh flicker that was starting to hurt the boy's eyes. Which only made sense, considering he had been playing for hours.

He didn't particularly care if he was doing well or not - he was too tired for that. He simply played to keep his mind and fingers busy, though at this point he could barely register what was happening in-game; he was going off of muscle memory.

The teen paused for a moment, realizing that the round was over. He reached for a few chips, but came up with a handful of crumbs. If he had had any energy, he would have gotten annoyed. Instead, he tossed the bag into the waste bin underneath his desk, pushing it and another empty bag beneath it down with his foot, to keep the garbage from overflowing.

He cracked open another can of soda, taking a swig as he slowly turned his head towards his window. He stared with lifeless eyes, seeing that the sun was just beginning to come up. He'd have to get ready for school in a couple of hours.

Setting his drink down, he turned back towards his game.

The obnoxiously loud alarm rang throughout Toma's room, causing his eyes to blink open. 

He found himself hunched over his keyboard, face against the desk. His head was turned such that he faced the window, so he spent a minute longer in that position, staring out at his new, quiet neighborhood.

He rubbed his face and groaned as he pushed himself up, and, as always, regretted the fact that he had stayed up so late. 

A half hour later, he was finishing off a cup of coffee that contained a ridiculous amount of sugar, and poured extra that he had made into a container, so he could drink it while walking to school. He then put on his tie, and threw on the school's vest over his untucked dress shirt. 

After taking a sip of coffee, he stepped outside, already feeling much better and awake than he should have been.

Having to ask around to find out which class he was in, Toma got to class 3 - 1 just moments before it was to start. Stepping inside for the first time, he saw that he had very little choice in the way of seats - there'd be no window spot for him this year.

With an inaudible sigh, he took a seat beside a male student; next to this boy was a female student who looked strangely similar. Toma guessed they were related, but wasn't planning on asking - if they were, he'd find out soon enough anyways.

He opened his mouth to introduce himself, but was immediately cut off by the teacher starting the lesson.

After tossing his things into his bag, Toma turned to the boy sitting next to him. 

"Yo," he said with a small wave and easygoing smile. "My name's Tanaka Toma. I'm new in town." The guy seemed nice enough, and considering that they'd be sitting next to each other for the year, Toma figured he was the best place to start getting to know the kids of the class.
