[Every day for Morris is the same old routine; he always wakes first of his family, so he quietly makes his way down to the kitchen and prepares breakfast - mostly for his dad, but there is a small effort made for Maurice begrudingly - and it's all left prepped in the fridge, with the kitchen cleaned up in the aftermath as if he were never really there. He's also long past leaving notes or anything, as the two of them probably check to see if he made breakfast before even considering the idea of making it themselves. They're just used to it.
Once he's cleaned himself up and gotten dressed, his headphones go on and he rides his bike through the city to get to school. He doesn't have much of a desire to turn up early, so given he leaves so early he likes to go on extended bike rides to nowhere in particular. Sometimes he thinks it would be nice to skip class and cycle around the city all day like his brother, but in the end he just can't bring himself to - if he lets his grades slip, he'll risk slipping entirely down to Maurice's level. He can't do that.
So at a comfortable enough time just before class starts, he cycles all the way to school, leaves his bike in the shed, puts his stuff into his locker and makes his way to class. He isn't so much avoided by people because they don't like him - the occasional person does try to give him a wave or a hopeful "hi" along the way - but it's more he keeps to himself. Morris keeps walking as if they aren't even there. He has so few people in school he thinks are worth the attention.
He does spot someone who is though, once he enters class. As he passes through the door, he slows momentarily in front of Ryoko's desk and gives her a little wave, a nod, then heads on over to his desk and sits down by the window, as he always does.
A moment later, her phone buzzes.]

[Crossing his fingers he doesn't fall asleep during biology...teacher's so boring.]
