[color=FFEFD5][i]...Oh right. Today was Dad's birthday."[/i][/color] A young man thought to himself, looking out the window of the classroom he was cleaning. The rest of the people on cleaning duty had long since left, leaving the Vice-President alone in the room. He always insisted on being last to leave anyways, since he had Student Council after regular classes. Walking over to the window, he placed his hand against and looked out over the city, eyes narrowing as he saw smoke in the distance. [color=FFEFD5][i]"...Fire? Was there an accident?"[/i][/color] he pondered, questions directed to nobody going nowhere fast.

Finishing up in that room, his footsteps echoed through the relatively empty halls as he cast his gaze up to the ceiling. Today, just like any other, he'd hold out hope that his father would return out of nowhere, to say that he'd missed him so much, and apologize for all the time lost. But...this was reality, he reminded himself, only to deny even that fact of life. It was at the point now that he scarcely remembered what his father looked like, save for when he looked at the photograph he had in his wallet, the constant reminder of his hope and delusions. Keeping his head turned up, he had no time to react as a certain crimson-curled-comet slammed into him, knocking him onto his side. 

Completely caught off guard, he was shocked as he looked up to see a girl...awfully surprised at just how lost he'd been. Before he could offer an apology upon standing, she ran away immediately. That was...odd. He felt guilty though, having not paid attention in the hall. Thinking back on it, her red hair definitely stood out...she was the Student Council Treasurer, right? Well, he'd have a chance to apologize, since he imagined she was going to the meeting as well.

Sliding open the door, he said: [color=FFEFD5][b]"Noboru Maki, present. Sorry I'm late Prez, cleaning ran a little long."[/b][/color] he said, watching the President spin around in her chair. Wordlessly taking a seat, Noboru looked to Maggie and scratched the back of his head. [color=FFEFD5][b]"About the hallway thing...sorry about that. I was spacing out, was all,"[/b][/color] he said with a small smile on his face. [color=FFEFD5][b]"So Prez, what are we planning to do for the festival? Can't believe they pulled this on us last minute..."[/b][/color]
