Kazuo stared at Noboru throughout his miniature speech. It mere seconds after Kazuo's own small introduction of himself and Hirohiko. He didn't understand it, but something about this new kid bothered him. It felt like he'd known him for years and garnered a strong hatred of him, though it's only been a couple minutes. Maybe it was the way he began.

[color=#FFD700]“Alright [i]sidekicks[/i], you better listen up!”[/color]

The word sidekicks echoed through Kazuo's mind. Who the hell was this guy?! He had this air about him; like he thought he was better than the rest of the class. Who was he to decided what they were all capable of? What made him think he was so great? 

[color=#FFD700]“Since it seems [i]some [/i]people haven't gotten the memo, allow me to give you the best piece of advice you'll get from this ‘prestigious’ school: learn to settle for second.”[/color]

Kazuo clenched his fist. He wanted to knock this guy down a peg, if for no other reason than he felt he deserved it. He opened his mouth to speak, but before the words came another student entered the room. He greeted everybody in as friendly a manner as you could get. If kazuo had to compare him and Noboru he'd have said that Shun was something like a babbling brook; peaceful, serene almost. Noboru on the other hand was like a quicksand; something annoying that likely no good could come from unless you had to manipulate and use it to your advantage. 

Still, he turned his attention to Shun. [color=ed1c24]"I guess you really do learn something new every day."[/color] He said with a small laugh. [color=ed1c24]"I guess given I'm from here, I'd have been the one to bring a pineapple, since it's technically mine and Hirohiko's neighborhood."[/color] He spoke in a calm manner, though it seemed almost like a question, as though he wanted clarification from Shun to see if he was getting it right. [color=ed1c24]"Although, to be honest, I think the gesture would be lost on the little guy over here."[/color] He said pointing out the young man who'd recently given everyone a little "advice." Had Shun come later, Kazuo might have engaged Nobunobu, but having calmed down a bit he thought it best to just ignore the little twerp.
