soukoku, school

Osamu Dazai and Chuuya Nakahara are tenth graders. They are 16 years old and study in the same class. Osamu and Chuuya have hated each other since first grade, constantly arguing and fighting (though fighting is rare, because the principal would beat them both senseless). Their classmates have simply come to terms with it, as have the teachers.

Dazai very frequently teases Chuuya about his height and basically everything else possible, and Nakahara kicks the shit out of him for teasing him. Strangely enough, they were always seated at the same desk, but no one ever moved them, thinking they would eventually "work it out." Both boys were decent students, but Dazai didn't understand physics, while Chuuya struggled with geometry; conversely, Chuuya was great at physics, and Osamu excelled at geometry.

The school had a casual dress code, so the teenagers dressed however they wanted. Chuuya dressed in an alternative style, while Osamu dressed normally.

February 20th, Friday.
It was a long break, about 30 minutes. Dazai and Chuuya were arguing over some trivial nonsense once again.
