[b]"Kohaku-senpai, am I in trouble? Please don't tell me-"[/b]

[color=Orange][b]"Stop being a pain in the ass."

Minase Kohaku[/b][/color] hated the difficult ones. They would never immediately listen to his direction, which wasted more of his time; he had better places to be than the school, after all, and the faster that the boy could see his quarry to the student council room, the sooner he could leave. Even if it [i]was[/i] Gamma who always issued the requests, there were obviously [i]plenty[/i] of reasons why the student council president would want to meet an individual student [i]besides[/i] being in trouble. Over the years, he'd noticed how much Gamma truly cared about the school and its population that frankly, he couldn't see how it was even possible. He always made a point to sit down with every single student at least twice each year, discussing subjects ranging from any personal troubles to academic futures; it was all for the sake of their own good, after all. It was something that Minase respected from his best friend; meeting all those people took a hell of a lot of time and energy, something that he would've found too exhausting. He heard enough whining at the arcade and his work, anyway.

Of course, this distinction was something that these first-years wouldn't know. The moment that they heard 'student council president' was when they began to write their own insecurities. Minase dropped his shoulders with an agitated sigh, digging into his pocket for a notepad that contained a list of names that were crossed out except for the last one.

[color=Orange][b]"Just... follow me, Sasaki-chan."[/b][/color]

As he looked through the corner of his eye, Minase was relieved to see that Tohru was finally cooperating, albeit still reluctantly from the way she quaked in her steps. [i]'Smooth,'[/i] he buried both hands and sarcasm into his pockets, keeping to himself as he could feel a dozen eyes watch them turn down the hallway.

[i][b]"Kohaku Minase?"[/b]
		[b]"That's the Warden?"[/b]
				[b]"He's kinda scary looking..."[/b]
						[b]"I hear Nishimura-senpai makes him beat people up!"[/b]
				[b]"A delinquent in the student council?"[/b]
		[b]"Don't get in his way."[/b]
[b]"Shh!! ..or you're next!"[/b][/i]

He didn't give a shit about what small talk and rumors other people tried to spread. His student council duties were one of the few things that Minase enjoyed; it was only Gamma and the others who [i]truly[/i] cared about him, who [i]truly[/i] accepted him. People enforced his image as the Warden of Hyakusawa Academy like it was a bad thing, yet if it was to uphold his best friends' virtues, he would gladly embrace that title. Ensuring that Tohru was still following him, they were eventually met by the warm smile of the student council president.

Very eloquently dressed beyond ordinary student standards, Nishimura Gamma stood a few inches shorter than him, roughly average in height. His features were well-sculpted and handsome, his neatly-combed black hair just shy of falling over dark blue eyes. His complexion was naturally darker compared to most, nearly considered exotic in that regard. Every aspect of his best friend's appearance screamed student council president. [color=Silver][b]"You've done such a good favor for me, Minase. As always, I apologize for putting this responsibility on you."[/b][/color]

[color=Orange][b]"For you, it's no problem,"[/b][/color] Minase stepped off to the side to allow Tohru to come forward, seeing Gamma study the girl intently before looking back up to him in the ensuing awkward silence. [color=Orange][b]"Well, uh... I'll leave you to the meeting. Smell ya tomorrow, Gamma."[/b][/color]

Just before the boy could start towards the stairway, Minase felt a surprisingly firm hand plant down onto his shoulder, stopping him in his tracks. [color=Silver][b]"Before you leave,"[/b][/color] the hushed voice of the student council president lingered close to his ear in a whisper. [color=Silver][b]"For [i]tomorrow[/i]..."[/b][/color]

Class was always a hit or miss for him. Depending on the content of the subject, Minase was only truly invested in their History teacher's lessons; on the flip side, he did not welcome the migraines that Mathematics wrought upon him. His grades weren't even [i]too[/i] bad for someone who was as disinterested and allergic to studying as he was, and more often than not, he found himself being scolded by the faculty for not applying himself. The boy just didn't see a point to all of it if he was just going to end up competing with others for the chance of having a future, anyway.

When the time finally came for their dismissal, Minase was the first to gather his belongings and shuffle out of the classroom. Though, instead of throwing himself into the downpour, the boy perched his back against the wall parallel to the classroom's doorway, pulling out the notepad to see who he was looking for.

[center][sub]CLASS 2-D, SECOND-YEAR, CHIHARA SEIYA - BLACK HAIR WITH GRAY EYES[/sub][/center]

Chihara Seiya was in the same class as he was, though the boy only knew her by name and the fact that she was a rather quiet girl that his classmates often sought assistance from with their schoolwork. To Gamma's surprise, Minase didn't even know what she looked like other than his fairly useless notes. [i]Just about every other girl has black hair, you dumbass.[/i] A finger tapped against his temple as the boy carefully looked over each person who exited the classroom, drawing an exasperated sigh before opting to call off his search for the day. The notepad in his hand cycled with a cell phone, tossing a quick text message to Gamma about postponing the meeting for tomorrow before watching a certain [i]someone[/i] bump into a girl at the doorway.

[color=Orange][b]"Don't scare off [i]another[/i] student, please. The student council already has enough problems to squash."[/b][/color] Minase chided in the direction of the half-blooded offender, shaking his head with disgust towards Kenichi Richards before disappearing down the stairwell. He was not particularly fond of the other boy, in part of their heritage but mostly from their history of causing trouble. With the thought starting to get on his nerves, Minase plugged in his earphones, shifting his mind to ponder on which arcade he would go to for the afternoon.
