Daisuke was late for school again. He had hit the snooze button so many times that the black button was now worn into a sickish grey color.
Maybe if you got up the first time, you could avoid running every morning. Honestly, this is doing no good for my beauty sleep.
I can't help it. I can't be tardy again. I will be killed.
Come on. What can that school do to you anyway? They give you detention, big deal.
I was talking about mom.
Oh. That means you will be tortured without reason, Dark added, seriously, Emiko wouldn't kill you because then all my fan girls would be depressed.
Thanks for your overwhelming support and comfort. Daisuke retorted sarcastically.
I can't help it that I'm irresistible.
Daisuke snorted, but you can help your arrogance. He turned another corner and extended his stride.
Daisuke, I know you can run faster than this…
What about your beauty sleep? He replied sardonically.
Forget it. Just get to school on time.
"One more turn, and then the steps," Daisuke glanced at his watch, "I can make it!" He skidded around the corner and narrowly missed an angry bystander. "I'm sorry!" Daisuke apologized, but he kept on running. He sprinted up the stairs and…tripped over a pebble. A pebble of all things! This one was smaller than a marble. Much smaller. He was never going to live this down.
Great thieving skills, you oaf!
Daisuke wildly put out both of his arms and waved them crazily. Still it was too late, he was going down.
"This is gonna hurt…"
You got that right.
Daisuke closed his eyes and waited for the imminent impact. It came.
He didn't hit the ground, he hit someone.
Whoever we hit is gonna hurt in the morning. Poor soul…
Daisuke turned around to look at the person who saved him from the long fall down the concrete steps.
It was Satoshi.
All previous pity is now gone! It is the creepy &#$! He is so stalking us…
"Are you okay?" Daisuke asked the boy with concern over his face. Too much concern for a certain angel living in his head.
He's just a friend, Dark.
A friend that's trying to catch us, don't forget that.
Satoshi was just inches away staring at Daisuke.
Run.
Daisuke was frozen in place, watching the older boy's clear blue eyes. Emotion was showing in his pale blue eyes.
Satoshi was closer now…
RUN!!!
The bell rang for class; Daisuke was going to be late.
