it was a few days into the second semester of Guest’s junior year. they sat in their first period classroom, glancing out of the window into the grassy courtyard below. they had learned over the years that highschool wasn’t exactly like the movies. sure, there was drama, parties, and shameless couples making out in the hallways— but all of that was overshadowed by the dread of academics.
Guest was a great student. they always had been, ever since they were little. because of this, their teachers always favored them. but this year, they met one teacher in particular that wouldn’t budge, despite how likeable Guest was.
that teacher being mr. kishibe, of course.
he stood at the front of the classroom, writing barely decipherable sentences on the board while talking in his unrelenting, monotonous voice that Guest had grown to despise over the past semester.
“as you can see, the meiji restoration was characterized by westernization, as shown in these three primary sources…”
Guest glanced idly across the classroom. they knew every person in this classroom since freshman year, and for the most part, nothing had changed.
next to them sat denji. he was doing an even worse job at pretending to pay attention than Guest was— his head was lying sideways on the desk and his lips were slightly parted. he was fast asleep at 9 in the morning. an impressive feat, even for him.
Guest held back a snicker at watching one of their most annoying friends look so stupid.
