{Open} All of the everything
Mizo usually didn't eat his lunch in the cafeteria, too much noise. However today despite the all the sounds of the busy lunchtime he'd sat down at one of the corner tables in an attempt to seclude himself.
At first he provided the illusion that he wanted to eat, but soon gave up on the idea and began just idly poking at the food on his tray as he watched the ebb and flow of the cafeteria. After only a few moments of that he pushed the tray aside and pulled out his notes from his last class and started to go over them. It was a poor attempt to say the least. No matter what he did, it just couldn't distract him from the phone call he'd recently had.
As he sat there staring at his notes, pretending to study but really just staring at the paper he noticed that someone was now standing opposite the table from him due to the shadow they were casting. He looked up and upon noticing who was standing there simply said
"Oh! Hey." rather half heartedly

"Sorry, my mind was somewhere else."
Mizo thought about it for a second
"No..I don't mind."
It was probably pretty obvious that Mizo was a little distracted. He decided it best to try and cover it with some idle conversation.
"I was just going over my English notes."

"Thanks."
He took a seat, setting his sizable gathering of foods on the table.
"So, what's new with you? Haven't really seen you since that party a few weeks ago. Even then, didn't get much of a chance to talk."

"Same as always pretty much. Studying my butt off to make up for last year."
Mizo noticed the amount of food in front of Toshi and then looked back to the miso soup and small bowl of steamed veggies on his own tray.
"You sure know how to pack it away."

"Yeah, I guess so, with trying to exercise as much as I can. After all, if I'm not gaining, I'm losing."
He grabbed his chopsticks and started in on his ramen.
"So, English, huh? What do you think of the new professor? Kinda weird coming in during the middle of the year like that, but I suppose they had to get someone pretty quickly when old Hansa finally retired."

"Seems alright to me so far, at least the homework isn't impossible. Unlike some of the stuff I'm getting in Ikina-Sensei's classes. I swear it's like she has it in for us or something."
He shifted through his notes a little and then added.
"Or maybe it's just me."

"Yeah, Mr. Laurence seems pretty cool. At least we're finally doing some actual reading and analysis.
I think I'm doing okay in Ms. Ikina's class too, but yeah, she does seem to go through material really quickly.
Doesn't help that it's history. Rote memorization is tough enough as is."
He paused occasionally to grab another bite of noodles.
"Something wrong? You seem kinda out of it today."

"Oh, it's..."
He paused for a moment.
He wanted to say "It's Nothing." but he knew good and well that it wasn't nothing.
"...well, it's this phone call I got the other day. From my parents. It was the first time I've really got a call, or heard from them in a non emergency situation since I came to Yamaku."

Mizo remained silent for a second, thinking how best to answer. The only thing that worked was the simple reply of
"No"
"No"

Re: {Open} All of the everything
"To check up on how my grades are. They're still pretty upset that I'm repeating junior year over again. They act like illness and car accidents are no excuse for bad grades."
He paused for a second and took a deep breath to calm himself and then went on
"That part didn't really bother me though. It was when I asked them if I could come home this year for the Christmas break. They told that they'd rather I stayed here because they don't have time to take care of a sick kid. That's when I realized that the reason they keep me here during breaks isn't because they're completely busy with work, I'm just a burden to them."

Re: {Open} All of the everything
So that's why he was around during August too.
"That's… screwed up.
I knew some people at my old school who had parents that thought like that.
"I'm sorry to hear that."

Re: {Open} All of the everything
"Thanks. At least being here isn't so bad when you've got good friends, right? Aside from the time I spent in the hospital after that accident, I've been at the school ever since my parents dropped me off here. Haven't been home once."

"Wow. But I guess that's the case for everyone sooner or later, isn't it.
"Well, you can't pick your family, that's for sure. We all just have to make the best of it."

Re: {Open} All of the everything
"Yeah, that's true. It just feels like as soon as I have something wrong with me they don't want me around any more."

Re: {Open} All of the everything
I can't help but wonder… would they have thought the same?
"If it's any consolation, I know you'll be a hell of a lot better person than that."
He absentmindedly folded a piece of nori back and forth between his chopsticks.
"What do you plan to do then?"

Re: {Open} All of the everything
"Stay here I suppose. Even if I were to suddenly show up I'm sure they'd just send me right back. As for after high school...well I'm not entirely sure."

Re: {Open} All of the everything
"Well, I'll probably be here for most of break again too. Not like there's a ton for me to do in Shizuoka. If you want, I'm sure we could figure something out.
"As for the other stuff, I guess you still have a year and a half now before that's an issue…"

Re: {Open} All of the everything
"That sounds like a good idea. Nice to know I won't be alone over the break."

Re: {Open} All of the everything
"Yeah."
He stared at his watch for a moment.
"Well, I'd better get back before class starts. Don't want to give Ms. Ikina any reason to make things harder," he said with a smirk. "See ya."

Re: {Open} All of the everything
"See ya." Mizo said as he gathered up his papers and drank half his bowl of now cold soup before heading off to class himself.
