Hikaru easily could forget about important dates and events more often than not recently with the stress that continuously kept bombing down onto him. That's why there's a red string tied around his pinky finger at the moment. Thankfully, he could remember the place where his martial arts teacher, Evan, instructed him to attend at for his special training...but he totally forgot what time it's supposed to be.

But since it's Saturday, the redhead could be seen sitting behind a tree nearby since 6am sharp, worried to dissapoint his teacher. To spend the time while waiting, Hikaru had bring along two to three books with him, a pen, and a few stack of papers neatly inside its transparent plastic covering.

It's almost 2:30pm now, and the teen's busy scribbling something on the paper. Some remains of the food he had eaten is beside him, and a carton of juice is still untouch nearby. Hikaru kept referring something from one of the books he brings, then sets it on the grass before continuing his writing.

He was so focused in his writing that he doesn't even realized somebody's approaching him.

(Tag Evan. And some others too, if you wanna join. =3)

[Evan]

As 2:30 came around, Evan exited from the back entrance of the building towards the area where he instructed Hikaru meet him. He noticed the boy sitting by a tree and scribbling onto a piece of paper. He noticed Hikaru's surroundings and stopped a few feet away. He didn't speak, wanting Hikaru to notice his presence on his own.

Evan carried his bag over his shoulder with Hikaru's scroll inside. He wore a casual outfit that was easy to move in also. He was rather interested in seeing what abilities Hikaru had besides being a clutz in his classroom.

Hikaru kept on scribbling on the paper for a full minute, not even noticing his teacher has arrived. It's only until the wind suddenly blowing his paper off that he trailed his eyes to follow the flying paper as it smacked onto someone there, and surprised to see that it's Evan.

"M-Mister Archen..!!" He got up hurriedly, the things on his legs all dropped on the ground in a mess with all the papers wrinkled probably by the impact. Hikaru didn't seem to notice though as he approached his teacher, bowing a bit and seeming slightly panicked.

"I-I'm sorry! How long have you been standing there??"

[Evan]

Evan watched as Hikaru seemed to freak out upon realizing that he was standing there. He looked down at Hikaru's belongings, seeing them all in a mess then look Hikaru straight in the eyes. "Aren't you going to collect your things more neatly before we start so you don't lose anything?" He said as more of an instruction than an actual question. He wanted to make sure that Hikaru was fully ready to go and wouldn't lose anything while he was training.

"O-oh! Right..!" Hikaru then went off to collect his fallen items, placing all the papers back into the plastic covering he had bring along, then picks up his pens to store it back in his pencil case. Since he didn't want his teacher to wait for him long, Hikaru just rushed through his tidying and ended up ripping a paper.

"Ahh! My report!!" He half-yelled, flabbergasted. Usually his bad luck streak didn't tip him off much, but ripping a paper he's been writing for hours on is just depressing. It takes Hikaru only a moment to grief, before he assures himself that he could tape them back later, then just stash it inside the covering.

As Hikaru rushed to Evan, he starts with not a greeting, but an apology. "I'm so sorry for making you wait, Mr. Archen.. I'll try to be faster and more alert next time."
