I'm a vindictive sort of person. Or at least, that's what most of the people I know think of me.

They think my actions to be completely egotistical with full disregard of every other individual. To some extent, I believe it to be true. I have done more than enough things in my life that I'm not proud of. Things that have made me realise the type of rotten individual I truly am. I don't completely despise that part of me, quite the opposite actually.

I love this rotten part of myself, as this selfish heart of mine makes me able to live my life without feeling hurt. It gives me the strength to think, 'I deserved it', when something bad happens to me.

That's the only reason I didn't truly hate Chihiro-sensei for making me go out of my way to bring her cousin to Sakurasou from the train station in her stead. I made her wash my dishes, so I think it's fair. Even so, I should have asked her for directions.

It took me about 20 minutes to reach this god forsaken place.

The quickest way from Sakurasou to the station was through the 'Red Brick Strip Mall', as per Kanda's instructions. I'm fairly surprised the guy remembered the deal we made for my silence. He was waiting for me outside the school to take me to a nearby restaurant, but I decided to postpone that event to a later date due to my prior engagement. He even told me a few things about this street named 'Red Brick Strip Mall'. He was born and raised here, so his precepts and the directions he gave surely came in handy.

I'm new to this place, despite that, people living in these streets are the kindest people I've met in my 16, almost 17 years of life. Walking through the streets, most of the people I met on my way greeted me with friendly smiles.

Truly, even my classmates don't greet me. It was certainly a unique experience.

I was even handed a Croquette for free from a kind lady. She was an angel, an angel I tell you!

Before I could get anymore lost in my thoughts about that old lady, who I'm going to pay a visit the next time I come here to buy more Croquettes from her, I looked at the watch on my left hand. It was only 5:15 at the moment, so that means I was 45 minutes early, but oh well.

I stuffed my mouth with the croquette, and started moving towards the Station which was now at a visible distance. Reaching my destination in no more than 2 minutes, I looked at my surroundings to get a general grasp of what this place was like.

...

Nothing major really. It's just a station.

There was a board at the entrance of the station with Arts University Station printed on it. Even though the name of my school has been changed from Suimei to Sobu, the university it is affiliated with is still called Suimei University of Arts, that's why the name of the station remains the same.

There weren't that many people in the station at the moment, most of the people here were students from my school. There was only one barrier at the station, which if you ask me, seems to be really inconvenient. Residents from the other side of the platform will need to walk across the level crossing to buy tickets because of this arrangement.

My eyes turned towards an empty bench near the barrier, and not wasting any time, I dashed towards the bench with every ounce of energy in my body. No way in hell am I going to keep on standing for more than half an hour. If anyone dares to come between me and my bench, I would make them regret it!

I successfully reached the bench, put my bag on one side, and my ass on the other. There's still some time left till the arrival of the little girl, so it shouldn't be that bad if I take a quick nap right?
