《Different》Chapter 21 - Late Again, Again ?
Advertisement
The time was now 7 in the morning. The sun was slowly beginning to shine brighter. The alarm Soro had set up before sleeping started to ring.
["Ah....what's that noise ?"]
Soro had only got an hour of sleep, due to him thinking about what was going to happen when he arrives at the academy. All he currently knew was that it was far away. and that the head of the academy wanted to see him. About what though ?
The alarm began ringing again, louder than before. Soro picked up his phone and put it under his pillow to try reduce the noise. However he had completely forgot about the vibrator.
["Ugh......"]
After a long dispute with him and his desire to stay in bed, Soro finally managed to get up. He took his phone out from underneath his pillow and checked the time. It was 7:29 in the morning. He should have left 9 minutes ago, which meant at his rate he was going to be late.
"CRAP I'M GONNA MISS THE RIDE !"
He rushed over to his closet and began getting changed. He then left his room and spotted Takimi about to enter the bathroom before him.
["Oh no you don't"]
He began sprinting towards the bathroom. Takimi was too drowsy to notice him. She simply yawned as she slowly walked over to the bathroom. Soro glanced at her.
["Damn her room is a lot closer to the bathroom than mine. But I have to get there first !"]
Soro slid onto the ground in attempt to speed up.
Takimi finally noticed Soro headed towards her direction.
"What the..."
Soro got up from the ground and started running again. He pointed at Takimi.
"THY BATHROOM SHALT BE USED BY THOU WORTHY"
Takimi just looked at him in complete confusion.

"Huh ?"
Just as Soro had finally reached the bathroom he slipped on a sandal on the floor and fell ontop of Takimi. They both collapsed on to the ground. Soro got up from the ground with his hand around his shoulder.
"Aghh that hurt"
He turned around to see how Takimi was doing.
"Hey are you al-"
His pitiful eyes met with Takimi's fiery eyes. She glared at him with such an angry expression, that if anyone could see it there body would instantly go in to survival mode. This wasn't the first time Soro had seen that expression on her face. After all he still had nightmares of it till this day.
"S-sorry...?"
Takimi was breathing heavily. She was only moments away from strangling her older brother to death. However since she knew Soro was going to be gone for a long time, she tried her best to hold her temper in. She turned around and stomped her way in to the bathroom. Soro gasped out a breath of relief.
["I should probably get out of here before she changes her mind about hitting me"]
He quickly got up and went to fetch his suitcases.
"I'm gonna go out Takimi !"
He began walking out of the house. The door to the bathroom opened
"Wait!"
["Oh god this is bad"]
Takimi walked out of the bathroom. She still seemed pretty annoyed however the devil was no longer inside of her.
"You're going for a long time right ?"
"Yea that's what I've been told"
"Take care then. Don't get in to too many fights and if you do, then remember what I said."
Soro smiled.
"Sure"
Takimi looked down on the ground. She began talking awfully quiet.
"And one more thing...."
She walked over to him. Soro began taking a couple of steps back. He feared for his life.

"Woah woah relax!"
"I'm not gonna hit you idiot !"
She wrapped her arms around him.
["EH !? SHE'S HUGGING ME !?!"]
"Uh Takimi, are you feeling okay ?"
"I'm fine"
She let go of him.
"You better text me when you get there"
"Uh, okay"
Takimi raised her hand and waved at him.
"See you then"
Soro grabbed both of the suitcases that were on the floor and ran out the door. He stopped for a while to check the time.
"Shit! It's 7:52. I only have 8 minutes to get to school"
A walk from Soro's house to the school he attended would usually be half an hour. At the rate things were going there was no way he would be able to make it in time. He didn't even know where he had to go when he arrives. Everything was on the extra sheets of paper that the head teacher, Kosuke had given to him, which he never read.
Minutes had gone by and Soro was still far from the school. He had only 5 minutes left to get there.
["I won't be able to make it at this rate. Looks like I'm gonna have to put everything in the line on this one bet"]
Soro gripped the suitcases tightly as he nervously began sweating.
["I can't believe I'm actually doing this. I could die if it doesn't work"]
He stood on the pavement and waited for a car to come around. After a while one eventually showed up moving at a tremendous speed. Soro closed his eyes shut and hopped on to the road.
["Please work, please work, please work !"]
He slowly opened his eyes.
["YES !"]
Soro had vanished from where he was standing to the front of the school gates. He had a large smile on his face until he eventually realized he didn't know where to go from here.
["Is there supposed to be a cab waiting for me or something ?"]
He looked around the place. It was completely empty. Could it be that he had already missed his ride ? If so then what's going to happen to him ? Soro began shaking in fear. He remembered Kosuke saying that if he didn't go then he would be detained. He clenched his hands as his breathing intensified.
["This can't be happening..."]
The sound of a loud horn suddenly arose. It resembled a heavy vehicle. Could it be ?
Soro turned around. He couldn't believe what he was seeing. A large black bus had stopped right beside him. The driver, a fairly old man with a brown mustache and beard opened the doors and glared at him.
"Are you one of the students who are supposed to be going to the New World Academy today ?"
Soro nodded.
"Alright then get on, you're lucky one of the students spotted you here"
Soro was so joyful inside but he didn't wanna show it on the outside. After all he was still partially late. He went on the bus and spotted 7 other students. They were all sitting apart from each other. It was clear they had no connection what so ever. Soro began walking further towards the back looking for a place to sit down. As he nearly reached the end he spotted Rika sitting down.
