Hagiya Keigo & Morohoshi Shoki

Hagiya Keigo
[Favorite subject] Social studies, science. I’m not especially great at them, but my test scores are pretty good. [Not-favorite subject] Japanese. Traditional Japanese is hard, and I started to dislike the subject starting freshman year. [Favorite lunch menu] My favorite is stew from when I was in elementary school. [How I spend my break] I’m a library assistant, so I often spend time at the school library counter. By the way, I’ve been a library assistant for all three years of my middle school. [My goal for this year] I want to wake up early and sleep early! I won’t read manga until late at night! Sometimes I end up staying up until one in the morning reading manga… [Clubs] When I was in fourth grade, I was in a basketball club. During middle school, I wasn’t in any clubs, so I would want to be in a tennis club or play drums in a band in high school. [How I study before tests] I’ll have my parents ask me questions from the workbook. For history, this really helps a lot. [Favorite place at school] In front of the locker behind the classroom, where my friends and I often talked. [The path to and from school] After school, I just spend time talking to my friends. The content is about games or about classes. [My favorite stationary] I’m using the mechanical pencil that I got at my high school informational meeting. [If I like someone at the same school as me] I think I’ll talk to her naturally. It’ll be really embarrassing if she realizes that I like her, so I’ll appeal to her quietly! I want to confess directly, but I’m the type who can’t come out and say it. I might do it via email, or have my best friend help me.
Morohoshi Shouki
[Favorite subject] I’m good at gymnastics, so it’ll be gym class for me. Among the sciences, I like biology the best. I’m interested in how the human cell works. [Not-favorite subject] I gave up on math in eighth grade, and I can’t remember vocabulary words for English. [Favorite lunch menu] Curry and Miso Ramen. I’ll always eat quickly and ask for seconds! The maximum is three bowls! [How I spend my break] I play tag or talk to my friends. I often talk about funny variety shows that I’ve watched. [My goal for this year] I want to become slim and muscular! I went running at night, worked out, and half body bathed, so my weight reduced five kilograms. Now I want to put on more muscle! [Clubs] When I was a freshman in high school, I was in a dance club for a while, but I’m not in it anymore. If I were to be in a club again, it would be the dance club again. [How I study before tests] I start studying two days before the test and often pull all-nighters. [Favorite place at school] The seat by the window in my classroom. It’s fun to make my own space with the curtains. [The path to and from school] I go home while listening to my favorite music with my music player. I like it because I can retreat into my own world. [My favorite stationary] I like mechanical pencils with thick grips because I can grip it strongly. The color is light blue. I think my stationary are mostly composed of blue colors. [If I like someone at the same school as me] When we’re talking, I’ll ask for her email address in a natural way! I’ll probably become close to her by becoming friends, and I’ll make sure that she doesn’t know that I like her. I can’t confess that fast, but if I was to do it, I’d do it over the phone or email, and I’ll say “Please go out with me!” I’m not a very skillful person, so I think I’ll go straight to the point.
