Thursday, May 7th[/b]

It had been a boring day with teachers droning on about their material like robots. He had caught himself from napping a few times in class to avoid an embarrassment. The operation went fine and his mother was stabilizing again though he found her getting weaker everytime she came from therapy. Elena was back in school today, hopefully studying harder than him. She had the brilliance and he was sure that if she kept up with the material, it won't be hard for a place in Tokyo University.

Though the expenses of making her go there made him shudder a bit. He needed a better paying sidejob, because the living and lifestyle expenses of a college student were also quite large, if he wanted her to interact with students of particular class, he needed to bust his ass. For that getting good marks was important, that way he could get a job where he is hired for his brain and not for his brawn or He could think of getting into the underground scene, Sagat was well versed with it and had made decent wads of money from it. Thoughts ran through his mind all day and kept him a bit nervous.

As soon as the bell rang, he stuffed the books in his bag and got ready. Both of his buds were absent today, Inoue had called in sick and Sagat had decided for a full day at the restaurant rather than school. Strange choice but Alexei couldn't argue, He already had a future planned out unlike himself. He waited for the crowd to thin out and began moving. It was a too early for his shift to start and with both his friends not here meant that MMA club wasn't going to be open today. He had packed in his sketches when he had gotten the messages from them. If the Manga club was open today, he'd swing by maybe ask Akane for a lookover at his stuff.

He ambled slowly towards the hallway most of it was empty as the rush had thinned out. He came up to the door and clicked in open. As expected Akane was in there but surprisingly another girl was there too. Perhaps a new member, even without advertising it seems Akane had attracted members, maybe Manga was what everyone considered cool.

[color=ed1c24][b]"I brought some unfinished stuff for you to take a look. Haven't done the betas yet."[/b][/color] he said, walking over to the side and settling his bag on the table, taking out his pad.
