Nathaniel gave the taller teen an incredulous look, why in the world was he telling the teacher that? Did he want to get them in trouble? The last thing he wanted was to be on Kikkawa-Sensei's bad side.
Letting out a squeak, Nathaniel jumped when the teacher threw the eraser, it nearly hitting him in the face. That was close! He sunk lower into his chair when he was yelled at as well, wishing that he could just magically fall into a hole and die.
((Awww... my poor Natty.... he's so embarrassed... XD))

{[( Aww, I'm sorry Nattie... Taka just really donesn't wanna do the project... XD )]}
"If your curriculum is flawed, though," Yasutaka continued, seemingly unfazed, "then isn't it the duty of your students to point this out so that you can allow for corrections?" Despite the fact that he was keeping his cool and making valid points, the teacher didn't seem to care too much for his ideas. The man was looking dangerously close to his boiling point, hich seemed low enough to begin with.
The nerve of this kid! Shohei ground his teeth in indignation. "As a student, you should know your place," he growled. "I will see you after class so that I can attempt to correct your outrageous behavior, so until then, I suggest that you keep your mouth shut for the rest of class." He almost said both of you, but from the look on the small kid's face, he probably had nothing, or at least next to nothing, to do with it. The barest hint of irritation passed over the troublemaker's face at that brush off.

Nathaniel stayed quiet and still, his eyes warily watching the verbal disagreement go on between Yasutaka and their teacher. That guy really didn't know when to quit, did he? He had a feeling that he wasn't going to like this class too much... the teacher was scary.
((Well, Natty's also easily embarrassed. sweatdrop ))

Remained silent through most of class, face blank and composed. He might have teased Nathaniel a bit more, but since it made the guy so uncomfortable... And the teacher would probably rip his ears off is he stepped out of line one more time... Yasutaka decided against it. He would apologize and introduce himself later, if he had the chance. Losing a potential friend this fun o mess with would be such a waste.
Shohei continued with the distribution of plants, although his mood didn't improve too much, even through what's-his-face... Chiba- seemed to have shut up for now. Next on the list... "James, Nathaniel," he called out, another small potted plant awaiting its keeper on his counter.

Nathaniel jumped a bit when his name was called, but stood up any way. Biting his lip, he walked up to the teacher's desk as quickly as possible, hoping to be able to go back to his seat soon. Once there, he waited silently, figiting nervously, to be given his plant.

Shohei stared straight at the boy before relinquishing ownership of the small plant to him. "Are you really siding with Chiba over there?" He asked with a frown, jerking his head slightly to indicate the tall stoic male who was Nathaniel's seat partner. Little James didn't look much like a miscreant, but you never knew for sure who the deviants were.

Nathaniel shook his head slightly. He wasn't totally against the project, he just didn't feel that he was qualified to take care of this defenseless plant. "I just don't want to kill the plant by accident..." he said softly, staring at the plant for a moment before picking it up in his arms.

Shohei's expression didn't soften too much, but his demeanor did. "Well then, I suppose you'll learn the wrong way to care for a plant if that happens." He said, voice smiling since his face still bore that stubborn frown. He decided that the quiet kid would cause no trouble in his class and waved him back to his seat, voice gruff but not unkind. "Off you go, James, back to your seat. Maybe try and keep that Chiba in line." As soon as the long haired lad left, Shohei called out the next name on the roll.

Nathaniel nodded, and began his walk back to his seat. Maybe the teacher wasn't so bad afterall... By the sound of his voice, the adult didn't seem too angry with him, or anything, though he did wonder how he was supposed to keep Yasutaka in line.
Sitting down in his chair, he carefully set his plant on top of his desk.

Class continued rather uneventfully after that, and when the bell rang, everyone got up to leave, plenty of muttered complaints about the plant project camoflaging in with te general mutter of the class. Shohei crossed his arms and waited for the flow to ebb so he could talk to Chiba, chew him out, maybe throw in a little punishment, too.
Moving with more stealth than a big guy like him could usually, Yasutaka kept himself out of sight and grabbed Nattie's arm before the skittish teen could scurry away. "I'm Yasutaka Chiba, by the way." He said, finally getting around to introducing himself. He paused, taking in Nathaniel's expresion. "I hope we can be friends." His expression was flat, belied by the faint, hopeful sparkle in his eyes.

Nathaiel was a more than happy when the bell rang, and was about to get out of there when his arm was grabbed. Looking up with a look that could be compared to a deer caught in some headlights, his listened to what Yasataka said. He was still scared of him, but he seemed to really want to be his friend...
Blushing lightly, he looked down at his plant. "I-I guess so... Just don't do too many weird things, okay?" he said, his free hand fiddling with a leaf.

A hint of a smile crossed Yasutaka's face. There, that was done. And it tuned out okay, too. Purposefully ignoring that last request, he dropped Nathaniel's arm. "I'm glad. Well, Nattie, you better get going, or Kikkawa-sensei will chew your ear off, too." Mirth danced behind his stoic expression. He walked over to the sullen instructor, giving his new friend one short wave goodbye.

Nathaniel blushed lightly and looked up. Biting his lip a bit, he waved awkwardly. He was a little weird when he made new friends, especially if they had slapped his butt...
Turning on his heel, ready to walk out, when he stumpled on his own his feet, nearly dropping his plant. Letting out a yelp, he was luckly enough to catch himself, and keep a hold of his plant. Now being careful, he was able to leave the class room with out too much trouble.

Shohei frowned at the teen as he approached. As soon as the last student left, this Chiba punk was in for the scolding of his life. And it didn't take long forthe last lolligagger to split either. So the scolding began.

Goosey, Goosey Gander...  He jerked his body up and quickly approached the teacher. He smiled faintly and bowed to his teacher as he recieved his plant. Damien quickly took his seat again and stared at the plant. "Hello plant..." The boy said. He heard talking to plants made them grow more because of the CO2 that was released from breathing. He smiled softly at the plant. ...Whither Shall I Wander?
