(I apologize for my long first post, everyone; I'll take into account the quality over quantity rule from now on ^^". In case anyone wants to skip it over, it's pretty much Kaoru struggling to get to the board, seeing he passed, and then overhearing Daiki ask Hinata about whether or not she was a Sakura Dorm student, which leads to him questioning him about whether he's a student himself.)╔══════════════╗♬ Kaoru Yamate ♬

╚══════════════╝ Step. Step. Avoid colliding with the black haired girl with the green bag. Step. Move out of the way of a large blonde guy shoving people out of his path, with his friends trailing behind him and giving him (and everyone else, pretty much) the stink eye. Try to not stumble as someone accidentally bumped into him from behind. Ah... Has it been long enough yet to regret my decisions? There weren't many things that came as a surprise to the young and intelligent Kaoru Yamate; a fact that stood in a very stark contrast to how this seemingly fine morning had gone. Did the teen think he would have slept through his purposefully early alarm, only to be woken up when his hand had somehow unconsciously hit the piano by the desk he had fallen asleep at? Most definitely not. Had he considered that stopping to eat breakfast before leaving would hinder his progress to Azuba High School so greatly? It hadn't occurred to his growling stomach at the time. Was most of this a result of staying up late the previous night, trying to finish a piece he had been writing for a few days already, due to the fact that he was positive he wouldn't remember the melody the next morning? More likely than not. Why are there so many people still here, anyway? I was sure everyone would be heading to class by now... The brunet had been struggling to fight his way through the thick swarm of students gathered at the bulletin board for at least a full minute now, without a doubt. Or, that is, if it was considered "fighting" to attempt to carefully navigate his way through, and then to apologize profusely to anyone he so much as came into contact with. It was at times like these that Kaoru wondered how his life would have been if he was a regular student, who didn't stay up long past midnight practicing multiple instruments, or testing out how this harmony would go in that key before writing his results down on a piece of staff paper. It sounded easier, he would usually think when the question popped into his mind once more. But also much, much more dull.
Seeing a spot right in front of the board free up, his amber eyes narrowed as he immediately bolted to it, at last within viewing range of his results for the entrance exams. Letting out a minuscule exhale, he relaxed his tense posture, stuffing his hands into the large pockets of his dark blue jacket. His still mildly tired gaze scanned the first results, known as the ones that belonged to the top-ranking students, while he simultaneously did his best to stifle a yawn he felt coming up. Truly, it wasn't even worth the trouble he went through to get to the board itself, in his opinion. It wasn't even required of him to keep a fleeting feeling of nervousness at bay, because he was without a doubt somewhere up there. His grades should speak for themselves, and he hadn't run into any obstacles during the testing procedure. Then, a small smile found it's way to his mouth, and he tilted his head back for a moment to stare at the ceiling serenely. Just as he had thought: there it was, his name, right at the top, along with three other students'. I really made it, didn't I? And this means that I should be getting into the Sakura Dorm program that was mentioned... Maybe this is worth it, after all. Now all that was left to do was get to class, he believed, but something caught his attention before he started walking off. Someone was inquiring to who he assumed was another student, a brunette girl, about whether or not she was registered at the Sakura Dorm. Was this guy one of its current residents? Glancing quickly around, he immediately noticed that the previous crowd had dissipated into smaller groups that were avoiding the man and the other people with him like they were carrying some kind of incredibly infectious desease. Well, that definitely singled them out. "Um, excuse me, I'm horribly sorry for intruding on your conversation, but are you a Sakura Dorm student?" he asked curiously, remaining as respectful and polite as he could while interrupting his conversation with the girl.
