00; late

—— 遅い ——

"Oh shit! Oh shit! I'm late," Niko Amari cried out as she was running through the long halls. Her hands were occupied by tying her long, black hair into a ponytail behind her head whilst her two books were wedged between her arm and side of her body. The books were dangerously close to slipping but the girl paid no mind.

"Ah! Late on your first day Niko! What a good first impression," the girl whined as she scolded herself. After she successfully tied her long locks behind her head she arrived at her classrooms door. Somehow forgetting the loosely held books, Niko opened the door with the arm holding them. As the door swung open and majority of the heads inside snapped in the direction of the abrupt entrance. Niko's books clattered to floor creating a loud noise.

Without moving an inch, the girl could feel her pale face burn red in embarrassment.
"Please take a seat and try not to be late or cause another disturbance," the professor asked before continuing his lecture.
"I- sorry for the disturbance!" Niko flushed and bowed before crouching down to grab her books and scurry up the stair case to the nearest empty seat.

"Dumb, dumb, dumb," the ravenette whispered to herself and smacked her head on the table before groaning and pulling a pen out of her pocket, she looked to the person beside her. It was a boy.

The boy had long long black hair the ends being bleached blonde. He had it tied back into a small, messy bun with loose strands framing his tired face. His golden eyes were lidded and he had bags under them. Despite the half dead vibe, Niko found the boy hot.

"Psst, hey buddy-" she nudged the boy slightly. He glanced to the girl silently. He only hummed
"What'd i miss?" Niko asked with a small chuckle and scratched her cheek. She came to class halfway through the lecture.
"Uh, he's just said that the person we sit next to will be out partner in all our work for the semester," his voice croaked out.

Niko went silent. She was sitting next to the boy.
"I'm so sorry! Was this seat reserved? I can move!" The ravenette started to gather her items before a hand touched her forearm. She glanced to the boy again.
"Don't stress, I don't know anyone in this class and no one wanted to be my partner," he smiled slightly. Niko felt slightly sorry for the boy, maybe she can make friends with him.
"Yeah, i don't know anyone in this class either-"

"If you two have stopped socialising, can i continue my lecture please?" The professor glared to the duo.
"S-sorry!" Niko cries out before sitting down and staying silent.
"As i was saying, your first project is also your first partner project! The person you're seated beside, as i explained earlier, is your partner for the semester. Please take notes for what you need to study,"

"I'm Niko Amari by the way," said girl introduced as she put her pencil back into her pocket and held the three books to her chest.
"Kenma Kozume, can i get your number or email. For the project I mean," the boy, now known as Kenma.

Niko nodded eagerly before taking the boys phone from his hand and typing in her information.
"I've gotta bounce cause i've got another class straight away! But message me, we can organise something to start the project," Niko smiled before jogging down the stairs and out the door.

Her first day and she already has a cute boys number. Safe to say Niko's confidence was dangerously high that day.
