Taijo was the first one out of the room when the bell rung this time. He wanted nothing more than to escape it and put the whole ugly incident behind him. He changed into some black shorts and a grey T-shirt. Both were very breezy and light and would make tryouts easy. He would have felt very confident and prepared, but there was still the small issue of the bruise on his neck. He didn’t want people staring at him for it, but it wouldn’t be right to wear Kari’s Cravat to practice either. Not only would it look weird, but he would sweat.  Instead, he decided to go with the bruise exposed.<br/><br/>Taijo asked one of the fellow students to point him to the team captain. The captain looked at Taijo’s neck, but, before he could ask, Taijo gave the same excuse he gave Kari. His leg had fallen asleep and when he got up he fell on a desk. It was a bold faced lie and it made the captain raise his left eyebrow and asked, “Do you think it’s a good idea for you to try out for this sport?”<br/><br/>Taijo  just smiled. “You’ll have to judge that yourself, sir.”<br/><br/>Despite what the captain may have thought initially. He had to recognize Taijo had talent after try outs. Barely any of the students could keep up with him. Taijo left feeling confident about the try outs in general. It was everything else going on that was bothering him. He went back to the dorm and tired to put all of it out of his mind.  He took a nice warm shower, changed into some blue sweatpants and a t-shirt, and started on his schedule. However, there was little he could do to free his mind from what happened and studying proved a poor distraction for the incident that had left him bruised. Still, he followed the schedule completely.<br/><br/>He even changed into jeans and a blue zip up turtleneck, which he zipped all the way to hide his bruise, and went out to buy the laptop he had wanted. He had been planning to buy it all through out summer break, but had decided to wait until he was in school, so he didn’t have to carry it all the way. It was a slim black Toshiba. He brought it black Toshiba. It was sleek and shiny and had a 27.5 inch screen. As he started it up he couldn’t help, but smile to have a longtime desire filled. He connected it to the internet and thought about what he should search first.<br/><br/>However, the more he thought about it the more he kept coming back to the classroom. He shook his head in a vain attempt to toss the thought from his mind, but he couldn’t. So it came to be that Taijo’s first internet search on his first computer was on “Psychotic Episodes.”<br/><br/>Schizophrenia accounted for almost everything that happened. It was just the bruise that was throwing him off. However, he could not peruse his quest to find out what was wrong with him. He had run out of time he had scheduled for surfing the net. Taijo went to bed, but sleep didn’t take him quickly. He had to force himself to really push his “psychotic episode” out of his mind before he was finally able to knock out for the night.<br/>
