A good thing about the first half of the lunch break was that most students were too busy eating and meeting up with their friends to bother about anybody else. Usually that worked into Makoto’s advantage. He was not completely against other people. Actually he would like to have someone to meet up with during lunch and chat with about everyday non important stuff. However, people didn’t seem to like him and he would rather be alone than the main actor in a cruel joke.<br/>The weather outside was nice. Sunny with a few clouds, a light breeze, not too hot and not cool either. There were other students outside, a little bit further some of them were playing a ball game. Makoto decided to go the other way. There was a nice old tree that cast a large shade. The grass beneath it was dry so he didn’t have to worry about dirtying his uniform. A sigh escaped his lips. Huge crowds like those in the cafeteria just aren’t his thing, it always made him feel uncomfortable. Out here it was nice and quiet. Sure, there are other people around but they rarely clumped together into a crowd. He decided to stay there for the rest of the lunch break.
