Pulling his earphones out of his ears, Xin began to get ready for class. Having missed most of the events prior, much thanks to several phone calls from overeager chinese relatives, he was completely oblivious to the missing clothes and the question Blake had asked earlier. Looking at his schedule, he saw math for the first period.<span style="color: #0080FF">"Oh, golly. Maths. And everyone else is taking English."</span>Less than enthusiastic, he went to class, sitting down, and sees only strangers around him. Cursing under his breath, he altogether ignores the teacher's lectures, deciding instead to do exactly as he did the previous two years - petition to have test dates and subjects sent by e-mail and completing his coursework under a tree somewhere. The day was bright, and as such, Xin packed up immediately following the mandatory introduction of the maths teacher and the other students, went outside, and sat under a big oak. He began reading up on the mathematics and solving the problems he was scheduled to do that class, his fingers flying over his notepad. He was momentarily disturbed by the Grand master's announcement over the school speaker system, but ignored it and continued to work.
