Chapter 1
*A clock's alarm rings out*
??? = *Groan* "F…. Five mo..re minutes…"
*The clocks' alarm continues to ring*
??? = *Yawns* "What time is it...?
*They placed their hands on the clock's snooze button before grabbing it to check the time*
??? = "10:42… 10:42! Oh, snap! My classes start at 11:30! Oh no, oh no, oh no. Why did no one wake me up! Gosh, darn it!
*They hastily jumped out of bed, leaving the bed in a messy state*
??? = "I'll just fix my bed after school, but now…"
*They rummaged through their cabinets, grabbing their uniform for school, then sprinted out the door to the living room while putting on their clothes*
??? = "It was supposed to be my first day of a new semester, and now I'm LATE my poor school record…"
*They looked around the living room, but saw no one*
??? = "That's weird, they all should be up by now. Hmm, there's a piece of paper"
*They picked up the sheet of paper placed on the table*
Note: "Hey bro, me and mom went shopping for groceries since were out of Coffee and stuff, you should lay off a bit there, you consume too much just like dad."
??? = "This must be from Thea… rare for her to leave a note. Mom must have forced her."
*…*
??? = "Wait… Now's not the time to be casually reading a note, I'm still late for school! GAHH!"
*He grabbed the first portable food they could eat and rushed outside with his bag behind him*
??? = "If I run, I should be able to get to school before the bell, Man, I'm glad my house is not that far from the school."
*He felt a slight vibration in his side pocket*
??? = "Huh? Must be my phone."
*He took out his phone, and switched it on*
??? = "A message? Whose it fro- …!"
*Using his phone while running, he bumped into someone*
??? = "Ah! I'm so sorry! Please forgive me for now. Bye."
*Concerned more about being late, he left the person behind."
Person = "… No… He can't be...?"
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
*Gasping for air, he arrived at school on time*
??? = "G-Gah… hah… hah… phew… Made it…"
*Short on air, he slowly walks towards his locker, opening it*
??? = "Damn… running sure is hard… Now… what subjects am I taking today?"
*While taking out his study materials from his locker, two male students approached him*
??? = "Sweaty already Marlow? You do not seem to be quite the guy who wants to exercise on the first day of class."
*A guy with black hair, some covering his face, eyes colored in gold, wears school clothes in an informal manner and carries a bag behind his back, stands behind Marlow*
??? = "Haha! Yous should have called me if you want to train those stubby legs of yours!
*A huge guy with relatively short black hair, eyes with a crimson like shade, wears a tank top under his uniform and carries a bag with his left hand, stands beside the other guy*
Marlow = "Oh give me a break guys. I'm too tired to retaliate all of your nonsense."
??? = "No harsh feelings, man, we're just joking around, aren't we Calder?"
Calder = "Yeah! …But seriously though, hit me up if yous want to train that tiny body of yours!
Marlow = "Well I for once like my body like this, plus, I don't have time for lifting weights.
Calder = "Hahaha! Your call!"
Marlow = "So what's the agenda today Ripley? Any new projects in the making?"
Ripley = "Nah, man, I'm too tired today."
Marlow = "But it's just the start of class."
Ripley = "It is?! Man, looking at you sweating and stuff, makes it feel like classes are supposed to end right now. And I'm now too lazy to enter class."
Marlow = "Don't say that, your mother would whoop your butt if she heard you."
Ripley = "Aghhh, Man, you're making me too lazy to even stand, Hey! Big guy! Carry me!"
Calder = "Not unless, yous gave me what I want."
Ripley = "Yeah, yeah here."
*He grabs something from his bag*
Ripley =" A deluxe energy bar from my bakery, man, I don't know why you like this so much."
Calder = "It's good for me muscle and gives energy too."
*Calder performs a shoulder carry to Ripley putting him in his right shoulder*
Marlow = "So… What class are you guys in?"
Ripley = "Class 2-1."
Calder = "Class 2-3!"
Marlow = "I'm on Class 2-7, dang my room is one floor above you guys."
*Ding dong ding dong, the school's PSA system alarmed*
PSA = "It's already 11:20, all students should please go to their respective classes for their homeroom. Thank you."
*Ding dong ding dong*
Marlow = "Well, I guess I'll see you guys at break time in the cafeteria."
Ripley = "Yeah yeah, Now come on big guy, carry me to my room."
Calder = "Sure, see yous later Marlow."
*The three students went to their separate classrooms*
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=--=-=-=-=-=-=-=-Marlow = "2-7… Huh, I guess this is going to be my classroom for now."
*Marlow stands in front of the 2-7 classroom's entranceway*
Marlow = "Oh there's some students already inside."
*He enters the classroom and goes towards an empty seat at the back beside the window side of the room, as he enters some students take notice of him, but they shortly continue with what they were originally doing*
Marlow = "I guess the teacher is not here yet, might as well just sit."
*He quietly observes the scenery outside the window*
*Some time passes by*
??? = "Morning class, I'm Mr. Cadbern and your homeroom teacher for this semester. Hope to cooperate with you students well."
Mr. Cadbern = "Now that I have introduced myself, let us take our time now to know each other better. Hmm, let us start with you over there, at the back, beside the window."
Marlow = "Huh? Ah! Me?"
Mr. Cadbern = "Yes, you. Please tell us your name and something that makes you interesting."
*Marlow stands*
Marlow = "Ahem, Good morning to you all. Well uhh, my name is Marlow Eldoris. Uhh, something that makes me interesting is… I uhh… am a serious coffee lover back when I had my first coffee. I could describe coffee in many ways than you think and continue explaining it for hours and hours. Hope to work well with you guys."
Mr. Cadbern = "Oh so you love coffee, Mr. Eldoris, I do too, but as a fellow coffee drinker, I should advise you to not drink too much as it is bad for you. Okay… what a wonderful introduction from Mr. Eldoris. Would the young lady beside him please introduce herself?"
??? = "Hello. My name is Lyria Willow. I play the Piano. Thank you."
Mr. Cadbern = "…Pretty straight forward, Ms. Willow. Please take your seat. Now then…"
*After some introductions and subjects later, break time comes in*
*In the school's cafeteria*
Ripley= "AGHH Man! School's so tiring!"
Marlow= "And shouting doesn't make it better."
Ripley= "Well! The school is making me shout!"
Calder= "HAHAHA! YOUS SHOUT LIKE A BABY! THIS IS HOW YOU SHOUT!"
Marlow= "Come on guys, quiet down, you'll get us in trouble."
Ripley= "The cafeteria is already noisy as it is. So shouting is just adding fire to fire."
Marlow= "Speaking of fire… Any progress in that experimental firework you got done?"
Ripley= "Like, Man, it's almost done. I'm just too tired to finish it."
*Ripley felt a tug on his uniform*
Calder= "Ripley, a little girlie is behind yous."
Ripley = "Hah? Is there?"
*He looks behind*
*A girl with an orange pony-tail and orange eyes, and is wearing the prescribed uniform for girls, tugged on Ripley's uniform*
??? = "E-excuse me… Can we uhh… talk behind the school l-later."
Calder= "Hey little girlie."
??? = "E-eep!"
*The student runs away*
Ripley = "SIghhh… Hey, Marlow. Can you talk to her man? I'm too tired for this"
Marlow = "Huh?! Why me! I don't even know what to say to her!"
Ripley = "Oh now you're shouting. I'll let you see the contraption if you go there."
Marlow = "Really?!"
Ripley = "Yeah, yeah. Just tell me tomorrow what she said to you."
*After school, behind the school building*
??? = "O-oh you came! You really came!"
Marlow = "Uh… I'm not actually the guy you wanted to talk to… hehe…"
??? = "Wait what… Why?"
Marlow = "If you know him, you might understand. Uh, by the way, he told me to convey your message to him."
??? = "No no no, It's not something that could just be easily conveyed… It's something special."
Marlow = "Is that so… What now?"
??? = "Sigh… Let's just go home, I'll treat you to something on the way back for your troubles."
Marlow = "Ah, alright. Sorry for my friend."
??? = "Don't mention it."
*After walking some meters away from the school, they stopped by a soda machine*
??? = "Here."
Marlow = "Oh, thanks."
??? = "So… What's your name?"
Marlow = "It's Marlow, Marlow Eldoris."
??? = "Kairi."
Marlow = "Huh?"
Kairi = "That's my name, Kairi Harbor."
Marlow = "Ah, I see."
Marlow = "So uh, your attitude…"
Kairi = "Yea, It's tiring to be all cutesy and lovey-dovey, Isn't that what boys want to see from a girl."
Marlow = "Not really, boys have their different preferences. And besides Ripley, isn't that type of guy."
Kairi = "Eh, really?"
Marlow = "If you want, I could tell you something about him?"
Kairi = "That would be awesome! You're not so bad yourself, Marlow."
Marlow = "Happy to be of help."
*10 minutes later, At an intersection*
Kairi = "Oh, my place goes this way."
Marlow = "Mine's the opposite."
Kairi = "Thanks for the tips Marlow! Let's talk at school tomorrow, yah?"
Marlow = "Oh uh. Sure!"
*Marlo's phone rings, he picks up*
Marlow = "Ah hello?"
Thea = "Hey big bro, Mom said to buy something from the grocery, she forgot to get coffee, ok bye!"
Marlow = "Wait what?! Hey, don't hang up!"
Marlow = "How could they forget coffee like that, well no use complaining to myself."
*After some time, Inside the store."
Marlow = "Coffee… coffee… Where are you?"
Marlow = "Ah there they are, and the only last pack of the special coffee."
*He reaches for the pack of coffee*
Marlow = "Huh?"
*A hand was in the way*
??? = "Ah!"
