Momo did follow him but she seemed a bit distracted which became obvious when she dismissed herself “I’ll be right back”. He hoped it wasn't because of him but he just sat back in his seat, not worrying about it and taking the opportunity to really see what everyone else was doing. He couldn't help but think everyone else seemed so much more energetic than him, some of them running around and introducing themselves to everyone. He looked over at Silas for a moment, only really knowing him by those little rumors that floated around school, the 'flirt' and he was living up to that reputation right now as far as Kei was concerned. Akira, another fellow senior seemed to be jumping in head first as well, excitedly speaking to the assigned Junior. Then there was Varthur who had been shooting looks over towards Kei and Momo a moment ago and he wondered if Momo and him had a history since he had never really talked to Varthur. He didn't know any of the Juniors besides Momo as this point but he noticed a few of them as well, a few cute girls (Kumi and Kairen) and he saw the guy he had introduced himself to earlier but whose name he had missed (Akihisa). Nobody really caught his attention as a bad person though, they all seemed fine, both the new Juniors and his fellow Seniors, all of which he would get the chance to talk to a bit this year or at least he planned on doing so. It kind of sucked that he didn't even know the people in his class but that was his fault, he would just have to try harder. With that he looked back to the little packet he had received and put it on top of his bag on the floor, deciding if they needed it he could get it, he was kind of tired of holding it.
It was about that time when Momo came back, her bag in hand which made sense, though she could have just said let me grab my back. Oh well, it didn't matter, she could be nervous and he wouldn't blame her. “Do you enjoy your studies here?” When the question was asked he couldn't help but think maybe he was the worst Senior partner she could have received, he really had no idea about the studies here, he always just barely passed his classes because he never studied. "Honestly, I was so wrapped up in boxing during my Junior time that I didn't pay much attention to my studies. This school has a lot of great teachers though." Kei felt like an idiot, she asked about studies and all he could give her was a vague 'I don't know' essentially. He scratched his head as she fiddled through her bag waiting for her response to his bad answer. “In general though, I’m a curious person and I don’t want to ask you something that’ll make you uncomfortable so if I do so, I apologise in advance and you of course have the right not to answer..” When she said that he felt a bit more laid back again though, he didn't mind telling her anything he knew but when it came to actually academics he would be lost, as far as himself or very general stuff he could answer. "I am fine with answering any question about myself or this school that I can. Besides, we are going to be paired up for some time, we should get to know one another." He was going to let her get her questions in first but he was also curious about her, she was going to be his Junior for awhile.
The same thing kept repeating in his mind though, even as he talked to Momo, this was a new year and he had to treat it as such. Kei needed to make friends, maybe even a girlfriend and see what it was like to get involved in school activities for once. At least he had to do all of that until he got the information about his shoulder from the doctor. That included getting to know his Junior, joining new clubs, and most importantly talking to people instead of just sitting in a corner and being content with staying by himself until school was over. "So I have a question so I can answer your questions a bit better and learn a bit about you. Are you here on a scholarship and if not why did you decide on this school?" he asked knowing that a lot of the students here were either wealthy or on scholarships, not that it mattered how she got here but why she was here did matter. He needed to know what to tell her and that depended entirely on her interests.
