Welcome to Gaia! ::

Kevin placed his book back into his bag and zipped it up. He swung it on his shoulder as he stood up, grabbing another stick of pocky and placing it in his mouth. He picked up his pass and looked at Natsuko. "No need for a compromise," he said through partial chewed pieces of the pocky, "I agree with you. I just like to argue." He let out a small laugh as he grabbed his camera case and started to walk next to Natsuko. He let out an exagerated sigh. "Looks like we have to go all the way back down the steps now."

Kevin continued down the steps, "I'm not in a hurry anyway." He smiled as he rounded the first landing. "I think so too. It's tough when others don't really know what they are talking about or constantly going over notes or prompt cards before stating their point. The debate class has many exceptionally good students, but they still tend to lag behind now and then," he said putting on another cocky smile. "But you...you seem to 'get it' as you say. The argument was impromptu but you knew what you were talking about. You had facts without the research. But...some of your 'rich' person talk, though mostly true, is still stereotyped. There are some people with wealthy families that do cruddy jobs." He opened the door at the bottom of the stairwell as the bell for class rang.

"I've heard that one before," Kevin said with a small laugh. "I think a teacher was trying to explain that to me in the computer course," he said amusing himself. "Right before I showed her a faster more efficient way to use applications." Kevin had a smug grin. Regardless of what she knew about computers, applications was a very simple task and the fact that the teacher used them ineffcetively didn't really give her high regards in his book. He traversed the hall next to Natsuko until they came across the photography classroom. Kevin walked into the class and saw that the room was empty. Mr. Tully always liked to get things started immediately. "Looks like we'll have to find the class."

With pass in hand, Kevin returned to the hall and looked down both ends. "Looks like we better head to the tree," he said, a joking tone with the last word. Mr. Tully had his students, during the first day of class, take portrait shots of each other next to a tree that dates back further than the school does. It was in the middle of the courtyard, in fact it was the one Natsuko was reading under earlier. Mr. Tully used this exercise to try and get the students to socialize. Get to know each other. As such, even the Senior kids had to associate with the underclassmen. "They should just be starting," Kevin said to Natsuko as he walked past her towards the door.
