//------------------------------// // Love At First 'SIGHT' (HAHA OH GOD, PUN!) -The Unfinished Chapter- // Story: Grey // by TheNextGamer //------------------------------// As you and Kenny walk to your new school, you were discussing an interesting topic with Kenny. And by 'discussing an interesting topic', it actuality he was ranting non-stop about something, while you were just nodding and agreeing without even paying attention. "So I think I just realized that now actually." "Ahuh." "I mean, think about it! We have science here, and yet we also have magic!" "Ahuh." "It doesn't really seem noticable, at first, but when you think about it, it actually makes absolutely no sense whatsoever! I don't know how to explain it, but it just doesn't feel right..." "Ahuh." "I mean, sure, I guess it's suppose to make sense, since sometimes they're both considered the same subject. But there's just something wrong about science and magic when they're put together. You know what I- OOF!" It took you a moment to come back to reality when you notice Kenny was rubbing his face and groaning from hitting his head on a door. "You okay man?" You ask. While still rubbing his forehead, he groans "You know, you could of warned me that I was going to walk into a door." "Oh, hey Kenny. Be careful, you're about to walk into something." You warn. "Yeah, thanks." He says deadpanned. You noticed that the door he walked into was actually the glass door entrance to your school. You step back a bit to study the school in more detail, now that you have the chance. Although the building was too big for you to use your echolocation to get a good look at it whole, you could observe the front of the building just fine. The building was 5 stories tall, with the equal amount of 7 or 8 on each floor. Judging by the wall patterns, you can tell it was a brick building. It was also nearby Town Hall, if your memory serves you right, and right next to a convenient coffee shop. You make a note to come earlier to visit the next time. "Where... Where did this come from? I never noticed this being here before." Kenny says as he touches the door of the building. "Wait, wait. What? You didn't notice this building being here? This 5 STORY building? And you didn't notice it?" Kenny gives a slight pause before silently shaking his head. You sigh in annoyance. "Whatever. Come on, lets get inside. I'll be damned if I was woken up at 5:30 in the morning, and still be late to school somehow." As you walk toward the front doors, you slide your walking stick into your backpack and went inside, with your brother behind you. As you set foot inside, you immediately felt that something was off. As Kenny enters as well, he begins to look around. "So where do you think we should go? Should we go to the office or some-" "Wait..." You interrupt, "Do you hear that?" A few seconds pass by silently, until Kenny responds, "No, I don't think I hear anything..." "Exactly... It's very quiet for some reason..." And you know how much the silence bothers you. "Well, what's the problem?" Does he not notice? "Well, what time is it now?" Kenny takes out his phone and checks the time. "About... 9:32." "And school started about 2 minutes ago, right? At 9:30?" "Yeah, that's what dad said." "Well if school is just started..." You lightly flick a nearby locker, and the metal noise travels around, sending you the image of an empty hallway. "Then why aren't there any other students around? Usually, the halls are crowded with students rushing to their lockers and everything to get ready for the start of a school day..." "Oh, I see what you mean now. Hm... Well, maybe they're already in class?" Kenny guessed. "Every single one of them? In under 2 minutes? Really Kenny?" You reply deadpanned. "Well... You know, it's possible that they used some kinda... Time magic or something?" "Time magic? How would magic even work like that?!" "It's magic! I don't need to explain shit abou-" "Excuse me gentlemen?" A third voice that seems to have appeared out of nowhere interrupts. A surge of surprise and panic empowers you, as you turn your direction to the source of the other voice. You did your best not to show your surprise, although you didn't do a very good job at it. Maybe because of how you jumped into Kenny's arms and you both gave some less than manly screams. The voice was revealed to have came from the boy in front of you. He seems to be a tad shorter than you, short enough to be mistaken as kid in middle school. After realizing you had just been startled by this person, a new level of confusion hits you as to how in the world he managed to sneak up on you without even making a hint of a noise. "Geez man! I think you made me piss my pants! Not cool!" Your brother nearly yells out. A second later, you then realized that Kenny was still carrying you from the initial shock. "Uh, Kenny? Could you let me down now?" You ask. He also seemed to realize this a moment later, and then unceremoniously drop you to the ground, a slight 'oof!' escapes out from you. "Sorry. But might I ask, as to why you two are here on a 2 hour delay?" The unexpected tiny ninja man asks. "Wait, what? 2 hour delay? What do you mean by that?" You ask as you get up. "Well..." He starts off slowly, "A 2 hour delay means that there is a delay... for 2 hours... and a delay for school means that school will begin later than normal... and 2 hours mean-" "I know what a 2 hour delay means! I mean't why is there a 2 hour delay? And why weren't we informed about this?" "The letters should have been sent in the mail for all of the students who go to this school." "Well, we actually moved in just yesterday. Maybe that's why we didn't get it?" Kenny points out. "You two are the new students that just moved into town?
