"ugh".
A young man with black hair barely gets out of his bed and is noticeably very irritated.
His eyelids heavy and tired threatened to close on him again
"what time is it?"
the young man reaches out for his phone that was on the table next to his bed.
[8:40]
In an instant all of the drowsiness he felt in his eyes disappeared and his expression turned lively with anger
"oh come on! give me a break!"
I'm gonna be late for school!
'This seriously can't be happening, I even slept earlier than usual at [2:00 AM] yet this still happens?'
Cale Dice proudly claimed, thinking that falling asleep at 2 am was natural when going to the first day of school
"am I cursed with Luck deprivation or something?" No he was not, he was simply stupid
Quickly gliding through the floor, he reached his pure white colored closet and changed clothes at record time "should I also put a little perfume?" he thought intently about it for a few seconds before grabbing it and spurting it on his nape a few times
"Anymore and its overkill"
Memories of pouring the entire perfume bottle on himself when he was a kid flooded in and haunted him with perfect image quality
Rushing to the restroom he brushed his white teeth In a delicate but rushed manner, he couldn't waste any more time and quickly filled his mouth with water to clean his mouth
Leaving the restroom, he grabbed his backpack, keys and lock
Cale then sprinted out of his apartment and almost lost his bus which coincidentally was also late
"Huff Huff"
'See? I'm not the only who was late, even the bus ran late'
He tried to comfort himself with such sweet seductive words, even though the bus driver being late was the only reason he wouldn't be late
Handing a ticket to the bus driver he took a seat close to the corner
He wanted to sit in the far back but couldn't take the seat because-
"And you know what I told him after that?"
"What?"
"Stop harassing me! or else I will cut off your manhood!"
Beads of sweat started to form and trickle on Cale's forehead at the disturbing conversation his ears had the misfortune of hearing
'Do they not have a filter?'
The teenager girls kept spewing their deep and hidden intrusive thoughts, that even made Cale start to shiver
'that was close'
Taking deep breath to calm his racing heart from the running, he tried to Ignore the girls in the back
Cale's breathing stabilized as the bus drew closer to his School, the undisputed number one in the town
After a few minutes he sat up from his seat, the bus driver understood that this was Cale's stop and opened the door of the bus with a press of a button
Screech
The doors slid and opened and while there was an audible screech, the bus doors opened in a fluid motion
'Hmmm, It's bigger than I expected?'
He got off of the bus, the previous girls passed by him and giggling to themselves, their laughter pure and full of joy
"I'm going to spend Three whole Years here?, It's not too bad actually"
Walking through the small gates of the School and pulling out his phone put of his front pocket, he checked the e-mail the school had sent to him
'my locker is...A67'
Moving his legs inside of the School, he started to look for his locker that would accompany him for the next three years
'A67 A67 A67....Where is- Ah here'
All movement abruptly stopped at the locker Cale was looking for. It looked compact and small which he didn't have much of a problem with
'At least no one sprayed any paint on it'
He opened the locker. not that he had expected anything to be in there It was simply just too see if his Backpack could fit in there
But something completely unexpected filled Cale's vision
"Hmm? An Envelope? and there Is a long white hair strand? A love letter perhaps?" I may not have been popular but I had a lot of friends including girls in middle school "no, that doesn't make sense"
The School that Cale goes to sends an e-mail to all of Its first year students to tell which locker they will have and which classroom they should go to for each subject. In other words, only the school and Cale knew which locker he had.
No one else could possible know unless they bribed the school to tell them which made no sense
This means that this Envelope has been in that locker at least before the previous school year ended
As he was about to grasp at the mysterious Envelope that made itself at home in his locker
"!"
Suddenly an all too familiar figure was felt jumping onto Cale's broad back, forcing him to lean forward and piggyback them
"Hey! What the hell! You can't keep jumping on my back expecting me every time to keep my balance!"
Cale raised his voice in anger, he wasn't wrong, if he were to lose balance, not only him but the other person would be hurt in the process as well
"but you didn't, Did you?"
The figure said, almost as if it was natural given how sturdy and bulky Cale was, not to mention that he was also fast
"...."
Turning his head, Cale stared at the open window in front of him that showed the beautiful sunset in the distance
"The open window next to me suddenly looks really beautiful"
He monologued to himself, however he said this loud enough for the figure on top of him to hear
"what is that supposed to mean?"
A dazzling smile decorated Cale's features
"It's supposed to mean 'If you don't get off my back right now I will throw you out of that window' Gabriel"
"O-Okay, calm down"
The boy named Gabriel gently gets off Cale's back, taking a few steps back away
"What are you talking about? I am calm"
"You look very mad..."
His face showed a smile, but Gabriel knew that was just a good poker face Cale was maintaining
"It's your imagination"
"Anyways enough about me, What are you doing here Gabriel"
"Ah well"
"We don't have all day get it over with and tell me"
"Well I came here to look for my locker and..."
"?"
Cale tilted his head innocently with a curious expression
"I wanted to ask you which classroom we are going in"
"Didn't they send you an e-mail?"
"I only remember my locker number...."
His innocent expression turned to stone and crumpled
"You've got to be kidding me"
'This is the first day of school, why is he this disorganized?'
Sighing Cale opened his mouth to tell Gabriel
"It's classroom 17 were we get the introductions and classroom 23 where we get our books"
"Why can't they do all of that In just one classroom to get it over with?"
"Why the hell are you asking me huh? do I look like I have connections with the principal of this school?!"
He snapped, raising his voice and berated Gabriel in anger
"See! I knew You were mad!"
"No! I am not!"
He raised his voice even higher than before
"Okay Whatever I'll just go to my locker and put my stuff in, I'll see you in the class"
Gabriel walked away to go find his locker
"Haaaah"
Cale already felt his drowsiness settling in him
He locked his eyes to the Envelope, he pondered on what to do for a few seconds, he licked his dry lips and then grasped The Envelope, curious of what it's contents that remained sealed inside held
And the moment that his hand held the Envelope, Everything went dark, his vision, his surroundings and even his entire being felt like it had disappeared in the blink of an eye
This darkness persisted for such a short period of time that it made Cale think he blinked
"....?"
The moment that short period of Darkness passed he found himself in a completely different place, Another School not his School but a completely different one
"!"
It took a few moments before Cale processed what had just occurred just now
He remembered of the novels he read that had clichè moments just like this
"Why does this happen to me!?"
Cale asked God this question
I'm not that unlucky right? Right?!
But he knew God wouldn't answer him
