Once Kaito's senses reconnected with him, his blue eyes radiated every ounce of his rage that accumulated almost instantaneously. Livid didn't even begin to cover it, not after the day he had. Neglecting to stop and think about his surroundings he knocked away Rocco's hand roughly, getting ahead of himself. For a brief moment, he forgot that his sister was in the room. He was still disoriented from his nap being abruptly interrupted and refused to accept a hand to stand up as he gathered himself up off of the floor on his own. It was only when he made it to his feet that he remembered he was in class. If his sister witnessed this, it likely wouldn't earn him any favor with her, considering her position as a class representative and all. Now that cognitive thinking and a little bit of rational thought had returned, Kaito managed to stand down despite his temptation to say 'fuck it' and do as he pleased. It wasn't easy, every vein in his entire body was practically pumping with adrenaline as he stared down the other boy, his nostrils slightly flaring as he resisted the provocation. Instinct told him to swing. The muscles in his arm twitched, begging to jump into action. It nearly happened, but Kaito managed to make his right arm go rigid, pressing it firmly against his side.
Running his tongue across his teeth and shaking his head with a restrained smile, Kaito was doing his absolute best to maintain control despite Rocco's trying behavior. So far he was doing well, it was the first time he tried so hard to NOT get into a fight, but he wasn't sure if he could maintain it. It was a tough transition, yet he had a reason to make an effort now, "..Another time, count on it." He sneered under his breath, making sure that Rocco knew he was more than happy to pick this up at a later date.
Once he trusted himself enough to let his muscles relax, Kaito shrugged his shoulders letting both of his thumbs rest in his pockets loosely, "But, this assignment doesn't mean much for me, Kusogaki." He shrugged his shoulders casually. It was difficult for him to pretend as if the tension before had not happened at all, but Kaito made sure to give it one hell of an attempt. However, he couldn't stop himself from sharply stating the nickname he had now issued to Rocco, "I'm kind of tired, actually. Luckily I'm not a scholarship student so I don't really have to do anything." He exaggerated a yawn. He wasn't sure where Rocco's stance was on the assignment that was left for them, but considering he bothered to approach at all, it was worth making this a difficult process given his unpleasant method of waking him. Kaito took his seat again, leaning his chin on his palm and that elbow on his desk with an amused grin. He had no intention of being compliant. He came to class, that was progress in its own right if one bothered to compare his attendance at his previous schools.
Sure, going to sleep on purpose was a shitty thing to do in the first place, but now that the two of them were committed to playing this game of who could be more insufferable, Kaito intended to play to win. Well, without initiating a physical altercation, at least. He was holding back to protect his reputation with Akira, but he wasn't going to lie down and take whatever Rocco was going to dish out either. He simply had to get creative for the time being, They were surrounded by people and that meant his fists were not an option. Even if Akira wasn't present, the grapevine was a pain in the ass. As he looked over the board again, Kaito frowned a bit. People still asked for directions? Wasn't that kind of primitive with how far technology has come? If he wanted to find a restaurant he could just ask Siri. Phones could easily translate these days too, so it was fairly pointless to learn other languages in his opinion. This is a complete waste of our time. I thought this school was top notch? Kaito complained all to himself, looking to the front of the room. All around other students seemed to be more than happy to do this dull scut work. Were they all dropped on their heads as children or were they plain and simple bootlickers? Even if he wasn't trying to drive a point home with Rocco, Kaito genuinely didn't see the value in this assignment. If someone didn't have a phone to look up directions, why was that his problem? He wasn't the type to stop and give directions on the street and he certainly wasn't the type to go out of his way to help others. So why on Earth would he pretend to do so, especially when there was nothing in it for him aside from some good marks on the asinine scoring system created by the faculty? School systems were designed to create obedient factory workers that could follow orders to the letter, not creative minds or innovative thinking. This kind of system did not suit free spirits. It smothered him.
