It was morning, depends on how you see it but it was a delectable morning. One that was filled with warmth and cozyness.

*Ring Ring, wakey wakey! Time for school*

"Ahh.. Wait... It's already morning?" A sluggish man makes his way to the bathroom.

"My hair looks good, but I need to redye my Roots again. Whatever, I just need to get ready and drive, not that hard."

He sighs, grabbing a brush, a toothbrush and basically attending to himself. He puts on chapstick and puts on his clothes.

A black long sleeve shirt covered with a blue jeans jacket. His pants were plain white, nothing special. His shoes were also boring. Red white and that was it. Maybe some black here and there but that's it.

He picks up his phone and his bag, filling it with all his needed materials. Notebooks, pens, pencils, headphones, a charger just in case, and lastly, a pack of gum.

He puts one in his mouth, grape flavor. Helps him focus for whatever reason. He walks out of his room, trying to make his way through piles of boxes.

"I should really plan ahead next time, if I do something like this again, I'll really be late."

He opens the door leading outside, only to see one of his family members.

"Iphis! My son, it's been such a long time! When did you even move here?"

"Father?! When did you get here?! I thought you were too busy with your work or whatever."

"I had to make time for my son who's been across the country."

"Yeah yeah, what do you want."

"My, is that how you want to treat your pops?"

"I need to head to school, I'm trying to not be late."

"Fine, I'll see you after school?"

"No, I have work afterwards. See you never."

Iphis grabs a helmet and jumps onto his motorcycle. He wave bye to his father, the sound of a motorcycle blasting along.

"My my, what am I going to do with him."

•••

Iphis parks in a parking spot. Setting down his helmet in his backpack and heading on his way to class. Rather be early than late.

He yawns, taking out his phone.

Iphis
Mom, just wanted to ask, are you alright? I just got to school.

Iphis sighs, a frown overtaking his face. He puts his phone away, walking faster to class.

*Bell ring!*

"Crap, I'm going to be late!"

Iphis runs to his class, his bag being held down so it wasn't swinging around.

"Hey hey! Watch it! You're going to trip."

Iphis stops in his tracks, seeing a woman with a popsicle in her mouth. She has earrings, nose rings, lip rings, heck, maybe even a tounge ring.

Her hair was blonde and black, split in the middle. Her eyes were a dark brown. Wearing a black leather jacket.

"I'm running late to class, of course I need to hurry-"

"You're new here right? I haven't seen you before."

"Yes..?"

"I see, what's your first class?"

"Uhmm... I believe it's a lecture about business or something."

"Really? Same here! It's an extra class for me, so I don't really care about attending but I could show you the way."

"Thanks... I guess?"

"No probs here!"

Iphis nods and smiles awkwardly, walking next to her. She stares straight ahead, a smile plastered on her face.

"What's your name?"

"Iphis. Iphis Loverman."

"Ooh, exotic name."

"My father named me... He uhm, was fond of Greek mythology, so he named me after someone from it or something.."

"Names Delilah Amaryllis. My name's just something my mom came up with. It was my grandma's name."

"Really? That's pretty cool."

"Yeah, but I usually don't see it as much. Haha.. By the way, what does your name mean?"

"Oh! Yeah, Unrequited Love. It's really weird, right? But I'd say it oddly suits me."

"Pffftt! Who names their kid, Unrequited love?! That's hilarious."

"I guess you could see it like that."

The two began to talk, heading to Iphis' class.

"Oh, we're here. Your welcome!"

"Thanks, hey... Are you just going to go or what?"

"Eh- I guess I could come in for once. Since we're only a couple minutes late, I'm sure the teacher won't mind"

Delilah opens the door to the class, the teacher stops talking as soon as she enters.

"Ms. Amaryllis? I didn't expect you to come to class."

"You're right, I wouldn't come to your class. Just dropping off your student and helping him out."

Iphis comes in the room behind Delilah.

"Hello, I'm Iphis."

"See?" Delilah smirks. The teacher scoffs in response and signals Iphis to come closer and Delilah to sit in her spot.

"Iphis... Iphis Loverman?"

"That's me."

The students start talking to each other, whispering and laughing.

"I see... Mind introducing yourself?"

Iphis was near the stand the teacher was standing apon.

"Hello, I'm Iphis. I'm from Korea and I as of recently moved here to partake in business."

A student in the back raised their hand, she had green hair with black streaks in her hair. Her eyes were gold.

"Isn't your name Greek for unrequited love?"

"... Yes. It is."

"That's cool! Wanna sit over here?"

The teacher steps in, "Quiet down Diana, he already has an assigned seat."

The girl, Diana, pouts. She seems friendly.

Iphis awkwardly smiles, going over to his assigned seat. Surprisingly, he sat right next to Delilah.

"What a coincidence." She whispered with a small chuckle.
