"I don't care what you think it is." He glared at the book again. "I'm not reading it." He stomped a foot angrily and turned to storm out of the classroom.

Oki exhaled, very slowly, and placed the book on her desk as Ryo stormed out. She lowered her head into her hands, telling herself that she wasn't going to run after him, that she couldn't force the book on him and that he'd have to suffer the consequences... Gods, this was the last thing she needed this week.

He should have known things would have turned out like this. It all seemed too good to be true and apparently was. He was certainly being grumbly and pissy, but if he could only be a ninja by reading then no matter how much Oki told him to read the books he wouldn't be able to.
He stopped in an empty hallway, trying not to cry. "Ugh!!" He yelled in anger and frustration, kicking the unfortunate wall that happened to be there.

Oki tucked the book back into her desk and worked to tidy up the classroom before gathering her things and starting to walk down to her office. She could hear Ryo down the hall, and considered intervening, but she thought that was only likely to make things worse. It had been her luck lately, when she had tried doing what she thought was the right thing.

Somewhere in the back of Ryo's mind he knew he had to go back to Oki. But for now he was angry and frustrated and embarrassed and scared. He needed some time to cool off before he could go back and really tell her what's wrong. A nap and food was in order first.

Oki unlocked her office door, settling behind her desk to go through her notes on the presentations. She could start her marking tonight, avoid going home for a while. Suoh would be alright without her. She could just... stay in here...

This was going to be the most humiliating thing that Ryo had ever done. It had taken more then a few hours to cool himself down and then psych himself to go have this conversation. He wasn't even sure if she would still be there that late in the evening...

Oki was still there, still sitting behind her desk. She had managed to finish her marking; it had been a quick exercise with the notes she had taken during each presentation. She was now trying to psych herself up enough to go home, face her likely-empty apartment. She could feel the tears burning her eyes already.

Ryo gulped and hesitated before walking up to her door and knocking quietly. "Oki?" He called in a quiet, demure voice. If she didn't hear him he could always just turn around and leave...

Oki looked up quickly, then tried to wipe at her eyes with her thumb. "Ryo! What can I do for you?"

Ryo was too busy staring at the ground to see her expression and missing the gesture as well. "Sorry," he mumbled to his toes.

"It's okay," she said gently. "Change is kind of scary some times, isn't it? You've had a lot coming at you lately."

"Uh-huh.." Ryo nodded sullenly, keeping his gaze on the floor. "You're really gonna fail me if I don't read that book..?"

"I won't have a choice, hun. You either do the course work or you don't pass. The same goes for all of the other students as well."

"Really?" His hands chenched into fists as he tried hard not to start crying.
