Lost in her even-more-negative-than-usual thoughts, Reina started slightly when she felt a hand on her shoulder, shrinking away a step instinctively as she looked over to see a very tall boy who looked concerned.

"Are you okay? I'm sorry if I bothered ya but you look down and I can't not do anythin' about it."

The girl's heart sank a bit, and she felt her face start to redden in shame. He was worried about bothering her? [i]She[/i] was the one bothering [i]him[/i] by not even be able to hide her emotions properly. 

[color=b16edd]"I-I'm fine!..."[/color] she said quickly, looking away. [color=b16edd]"Just... you know... strategizing and stuff..."[/color] She knew how unconvincing she sounded even as she spoke, and decided to backpedal slightly. [color=b16edd]"I'm... actually, I'm just a little nervous about the test. First day jitters and all. I'll get over it."[/color] She even managed something of a smile, however faint it was. It wasn't really a lie, and sounded a lot more believable. [color=b16edd]"Sorry about... um, worrying you."[/color]

"YO, NICE TO MEET YOU ALL! I'M YOSHIDA KENICHI!"

Reina's eyebrows raised at the noise, and she glanced towards its source.

Oh. It was the same boy who had popped her ears a while before.

[color=b16edd]"Loud..."[/color] she mumbled, the mild annoyance brought on by the memory seeping into her tone slightly. A second later, she realized she had said the comment out loud, causing her to blush and glance at the tall boy next to her before immediately looking away again.

Kenichi continued his impassioned speech, and though Reina didn't have the most flattering first impression of him, by the end of it she found herself smiling lightly despite herself. He was... silly, to say the least, but between his performance and the other boy's concern for her, she couldn't help but feel at least a little bit better. Seeing a few others joining in with Kenichi's attempt to rouse the rest was amusing as well--most so being Fumika's rather sudden cheer.

Reina's mood was sombered again when Yoshida-sensei began to address them. She listened intently, feeling her worries taking her again as he explained what they'd be doing. Great. She was going to bring down [i]seven[/i] of her classmates with her if she messed up.

She noticed Fumika and Jett were on her team, which brought her a mix of happiness and more worry that she'd fail them. Realizing she didn't know the name of the the boy next to her--and by extension which team he was on--she glanced over at him.

[color=b16edd]"Um, I'm on Alpha,"[/color] she said quietly with a point to the screen. She looked away from him and to the ground, stuffing her hand back in her pocket. [color=b16edd]"Mori Reina..."[/color]
