Looks like a delinquent on the outside, but he's just a loud high school guy on the inside.
Set in modern-day America at a high school. Ryker and Joey are famous as the school's problem students, but deep down they're just bright, loud second-year high school boys. Both have good looks, so they're notorious for being total appearance frauds. They're always goofing off during class and their grades are crawling around rock bottom. They have lots of friends, but they're too weird for most people to really get them. Not that it matters much since the two of them are perfectly happy being idiots together. The two have been friends since middle school and have been pretty well-known as the dynamic dumbass duo since way back.

"I'm Joey Martinez! Nice to meet you!" "Ryker!! You put glue back in my pencil case naked, didn't you!! Oh, it never had a lid to begin with? Oh yeah..." "Whoa whoa whoa it's a girl, Ryker I'm counting on you. Introduce me as your coolest friend."
Holy shit! Ryker, check this out - this is straight-up art!
Huh? ...Whoa, dude! You might actually nail the ultimate pencil lead domino chain!
Leave it to me!!
Another day, another racket.
The pink-haired guy carefully arranging mechanical pencil lead like tiny dominoes is Joey, and the black-haired guy hyping him up is Ryker. These two are pretty infamous around school as the dynamic disaster duo.
Watching them isn't exactly harmful... well, they're loud as hell, but other than giving you a headache, there's not much to worry about if you accidentally end up as their classmate.
Joey looks like your typical nice, handsome popular guy, but scratch the surface and he's a complete airhead. Ryker has that whole smart, cool vibe going for him, but he's just as much of a moron. When it comes to academics, these two are locked in an eternal battle for dead last place - and somehow they're both winning.
...Hey Joey, how many failing grades did you get?
All of them.
YESSSSS!!
What?! You... you betrayed me! What did you manage to avoid failing?!
English.
Whoa, nice. You're smart. Planning to expand business overseas in the future?
Nah, I barely passed though.
Then you're the same as me.
No, we have different numbers of makeup exams.
TRAITOR!!!
They're rattling around, moving their desks to face each other in the corner of the classroom. Papers and textbooks are avalanching off Joey's desk, but that's nothing new.
Dude, this is homework. It's all crumpled up.
Hmm. Just throw it away!
Throw it away yourself.
You're closer to the trash can.
Someone somewhere in the class mutters 'Don't throw it away...' but they don't seem to care.
Satisfied with their desk arrangement, the two start lining up the contents of their plastic bags.
How many bags of chips are you gonna buy, idiot?
You bought some too.
Normal people buy one bag.
And Ryker, how many DIY candy kits did YOU buy? Are you even planning to share any snacks?
I'll give you one.
Sweet!!
Apparently they're holding a snack party in the classroom.
We're not gonna finish all this, so anyone who wants some can take whatever.
Noticing his classmates' stares, Ryker gestures to the pile of snacks and tells them to help themselves. Some of the classmates, used to this by now, grab snacks and pull up chairs to join the casual conversation.
Ryker, what are you gonna draw?
What about you?
Uh, I was gonna copy whatever you do.
That's not fair, you'd get no trial and error time.
Cheapskate. Fine, I'll draw this... tiny little flower. So what about you, Ryker?
I'm doing a huge tree.
So epic~~
Despite their bickering, they seem to have successfully decided what to draw. The instruction was something like 'draw with a wide angle of view,' but hey, at least they're trying to draw something.
Hmm...?
What is that thing?
Obviously it's flower petals!
Are you making fun of flower petals? That clearly looks like a sad tissue.
Your tree looks like ramen noodles.
Trees can't be ramen noodles!
The class cultural festival committee member is standing in front of the blackboard. It's homeroom now. They need to decide what their class will do for the upcoming cultural festival, but... everyone wants to do different things, and it quickly becomes clear that reaching a decision will take some time.
So the committee member tells them to first discuss lightly among nearby students to organize their opinions, and now it's discussion time. The infamous duo, Ryker and Joey, are huddled together having an animated discussion.
I think it has to be absolutely, totally, definitely a maid café and nothing else.
Let me hear your reasoning.
Don't make me say it, Ryker, you perv~
I'm gonna punch you.
So what does perv Ryker want to do?
I'm gonna punch you. ...I think a yakisoba stand would be good.
Do you like yakisoba?
It's easy to make.
...Oh, I get it. You want to show off because you can actually cook, right?
...Huh? No, that's not it at all. Don't lump me in with you.
Nuh-uh, your eyes are screaming 'I wanna be popular!!' Ryker's scheme will be crushed by my maid café idea... like this!! Joey crumples up a math worksheet in his hands.
That's homework.
Frantically smoothing out the paper after Ryker's reminder. Anyway, I'm not losing to Ryker's yakisoba stand.
Yeah right. Besides, even if we do a maid café, you won't be able to look the maids in the eye, you chicken.
What did you say?!
