Synopsis

Chapter 1Late

The hard, violent rain started to fall on a Monday morning. An alarm could be heard in the room of a man. Exhausted, he turned his head towards his phone that activated the melancholic music, and turned it off. The rough winds whistled, as it made the boy's curtains fly, gently touching his head surprising him. His window needed to be closed! The phone immediately rang, but the young adult ignored it. Entering his bathroom, he quickly brushed his teeth and hair after exiting his room to go to the kitchen to grab a piece of buttered toast left on the counter. His roommate, Semi, must have prepared it for him before he left to go to school. He was very empathetic, and cared a lot about the red haired man. Tendou glanced at the clock, thinking he would have time to go to the store to buy some food for lunch today. It read 7:17 a.m. It took the 6'2 inch tall man five good seconds before reacting to the hand on the clock, indicating he was late.

"I am so late!"

He grabbed his bag and umbrella as fast as possible, running towards the door. Once he passed the threshold, he slammed the door behind him opening his voicemails as he kept running at the same pace with the toast between his thin lips. Semi, has called him three times to make sure the blood colored eye boy woke up on time for his first day in university.

"Hi, Tendou, it's Semi. Are you awake yet? Class is starting soon. Call me back when you receive this voicemail."

Tendou dialed Semi's phone number but tripped on a slippy rock causing his phone to slip out of his strong hands. Even his long fingers couldn't reach the flying phone. His whole body began following the movement of the electronic device as the piece of bread flew out of his wide open mouth, letting out a little gasp until his chest was first to land on the wet pavement. The screen of his cellphone was completely destroyed. The rain was lighter, creating a dull sound. Drops kept falling down the fallen man's back. He looked like he gave up on going to his destination. Slow gestures were made as Tendou weakly tried to turn his body to lay on his back, contemplating the raindrops landing on his pale skin, making him look like he cried. He grinned, as a soft chuckle escaped his throat.

"It's okay if I'm late... I've experienced worse in my life."

The young man moved his head to the left, seeing his broken phone, sitting a few feet away. His facial expression rapidly turned into a discouraged look. He gave himself a small boost of energy to place himself up. He was now sitting, cross legged. His wet, dirty hand reached his cracked device and brought it closer to his curbed body, wiping the gravel that got stuck between the cracks. Tendou finally got back to his feet and began to walk at a normal pace. The disappointed look on his face revealed that his phone was done for. It couldn't be turned on anymore. He tilted his head back taking a deep breath as he let the delicate wind blow on his face, making his soaked hair dance in the cool air. As he looked down, a big building suddenly appeared in his eyes.

The university the slim man attended had four floors. Unfortunately, his class was on the last one, therefore he had to run with the little strength he had left after his unfortunate incident. Feeling drained of energy, Tendou Satori entered the humongous construction. And as soon as he set foot in the loud hall, other students had their eyes set on him. Everyone gave the poor man dirty looks, but Tendou did not have a reason to confront them, as they were all irrelevant to him. He was used to all of the cruel looks on their faces, sizing at him up and, judging him for the way he looked. (We can definitely say he gets his fair share of attention regularly.) Climbing the stairs was already fatiguing for the half asleep man. Thankfully, he got to the top floor safely, and briskly began walking towards his biology class. His trembling hands touched the door handle and steadily rotated it before hearing a small, rapid squeaking sounds. Class has obviously started, but everyone stopped doing what they were doing to lay their eyes on the bullied boy.

Tendou's face turned into a disheartening look. Feeling his heart drop, he decided to not take notice of anyone's grin. However, he did notice a kid was ready to begin bursting out laughing. As soon as Satori sat down, he frowned, which forced everyone to turn their attention back to their professor. Except for one.

"Why are you in your pyjamas?"

Says the boy giggling and grinning, placing his hand in front of his teeth. Tendou's eyes widened as his eyes gradually began moving down to check his clothes out. He quickly looked back in front of him sweating and biting his lips hard.

"FU-"
