'He's different.

Something about him reminds me of myself;

Of what I was like when I was new here.

He has potential.

He's also very distracting' I think as a gather my things and head out of the office for a meeting.

Isaka seemed irritated today.. This meeting might get heated..

I should really get a coffee before going to the board room.

I head to the main area, where the vending machines are located, and spot a certain green eyed newbie looking extremely frustrated, and in thought.

I insert change into the vending machine and collect the contents returned after cautiously walking by said newbie, then I approach him.

'Do you really hate working here that much? It's only your first day..'

Onodera almost jumped out of his skin, and seeing the look of bewilderedness on his gentle features made it impossible to hold in a smirk. But somehow, I managed.

'I.. I never said I hated working here.. don't put words in my mouth.'

I sigh in return to his remark, and look of in the distance.

Stubborn lies.

'Alright.. I'll take your word for it.. Just don't take up space you're not willing to use properly, alright?'

He glares at me in remark, with annoyance. 'What is that supposed to mean?!'

Tsk..

'It MEANS, don't keep working here if you're just going to slack off and hate your job.'

That might have sounded a bit too rude.

He stands, and puts a hand down on the table he was previously sitting at.
'I would never.'

I laugh in response and head off to the meeting, only hearing aggravated remarks from behind me..

Work might just be getting interesting.


what is crossed through is just Takanos thoughts about Onodera.

Anywho, sorry about the late chapter! I'm going to be in a performance soon and memorizing lines has been my main priority.

ALSO I know a paragraph 'is NOT a chapter'.
Sorry if that bothers you, I just think it's more organized that way.
As I get through the 'original plot' and adapt it more, which is basically after the introductions, the chapters will be way longer.
