[h3]Masahide Saji
Warakuma Park
9/13/15 - Afterschool[/h3]


	Masa made no objections to following the girl outside the school. Between the constant whispers and stares, he would've taken an invitation to hell just to be free from the public eye. Still, he bowed his head graciously and followed along, but he couldn't help but notice something... That face. He's seen that face more often recently, and he could only guess as to what she was after or wanted from him.  It was that tinge of concern that was evident on many faces that seemed to speak with him recently, and how he hated it... For a moment, he thought of making some excuse and bolting off to one of his odd jobs- or just to walk towards his estate without saying another word to Shizuka. The thoughts continued to follow him as they entered the park, but Masa eventually gave in with a slight sigh of annoyance. As Shizuka sat down and looked towards him, there was that expression again. This time, it wasn't masked, it was evident to anyone looking. Cutting his eyes to the parks interiors, Masa gave pause before answering.

	"[color=0072bc]I'm fine,[/color]" His gaze settled back upon the girl, a mix of agitation and mild annoyance evident, "[color=0072bc]I thank you for your concern, but it is misplaced. The club president is fine, and I'm on temporary suspension. Everything is being sorted out.[/color]" At this point, the urge to walk away resurface as Masa shoved his hands in his pockets and turning from the girl... Yet he gave pause. A sudden spark of confusion shown upon his face as he turned to face the girl once more, seeming to lack the words to speak for a moment. Why? Why the hell did she care? Why did anyone care? He was fine on his own. He had always been! He was self-sufficient, punctual, intelligent, respected, and a well-known member of the community... Why the hell was everyone worrying?!

	After an awkward moment of pause, Masa spoke again, "[color=0072bc]Why are you looking at me like that?[/color]" His voice was starting to lose it's professional demeanor, "[color=0072bc]Why the hell do you care, huh? Why the hell does anyone give a damn? I'm alive, I go to school, and I help out around the town like I always do. Why is everyone suddenly concerned now[/color]?" Turning to face her fully, he waited in silence for her answer.
