Silently judging his classmates and taking their names, Ryunosuke watched intently behind his 'dead fish eyes'. Although it was almost a given to do such a thing for him, he could hardly explain it with words. Or, rather, he would refuse to admit such a reason- that being wariness- against a possible 'threat'. While there wasn't any real threat to the normal person, he saw anyone willing to annoy or needlessly interact with him as a threat that needed to be left be, even more so than his normal distance from others. As for what caused such a mindset, he did not care to even think about that.

Kurihara-sensei. Seen her around, can't make an impression yet.
Oshiro Hiroshi. If she leaves me alone, I'll leave her alone.
Genjo Arata. Nearly seventeen, good for him...
America One-no, Jonathan Harper, nudging America Two, rather, Thomas, on. Decent Japanese, but a bit formal. I guess that's what they teach.
Saito Ryuji. I wonder if he's trying to be like Sasuke, or Jotaro. Try a little less hard.
Well, damn. Looks like it's my turn.

Scanning the room, Ryunosuke realized in horror that the others stared back. Be it fate or groupthink, he was expected by 'society' to go up, and it wasn't like he could fight back. Despite his disdain for the situation at hand, Ryunosuke still wasn't keen on having a strong [i]tatemae[/i]- 'social face': as much as others could try to please others or smile unconvincingly, he would never feel a need to bend to another person's will. But regardless of how much he wanted to stand up or not, again, did he really have a choice?

Readjusting his glasses with his right hand, and using his left to help him stand up by pushing off the desk, he did it. Looking around for a moment to see if anyone had awkwardly gone up at the same time as him, he was silently relieved to be alone. Finally, he began.

He sat down, thinking of anything but how good of a job he did.
