Chapter 3 - 3.Auditorium Assembly (1/2)
On his morning break, Albert floats to the cafeteria to meet up with James and Kana so they can go together to the assembly. On his way, James saw several trucks parked next to the auditorium backdoor. To confuse him, even more, he did not saw even one faculty employee along the way to the cafeteria.
'Where the hell is all the teacher usually I can spot a group or two grabbing a late breakfast.'
Albert looks at the clock and sees that it was 9.52. To his left the is James eating his second portion of food peacefully as usual and in front of him is Kana one of their childhood friends who is half Japanese fiddling with her comlink. After James finishes his food, they get out of the cafeteria straight to the auditorium.
”This is weird,” Kana said while looking at her comlink.
”What's weird? This assembly? I think this is about the storm or some weird stuff on the news. I see some trucks and my guess is they are here to do some reparation and prepare for the storm. I heard it's going to be big”
”Nope. My sister just sent me a message and she said she wish me luck and I'll need it and when I ask her what for she said I'll understand it tomorrow.”
”Since when you're sister into riddle kinda stuff? She's the most straightforward person that I ever met” James said while holding his chin remembering that painful memory
”She's coming back tomorrow right? Maybe she'll surprise you with something.”
”Oh yeah, she's coming back tomorrow almost forgot. It's still doesn't make sense though. Why would I need some luck?”
”Well, I guess we can find out tomorrow,” Albert said while yawning
They all have been friends since they're 5 years old and since Kana's big sister Anna is the oldest one she's the one who takes care of youngers most of the time. And by taking care It means to beat them up when they do something stupid. Anna is 4 years older than all of them, so when they are in senior year of middle school she's going to some college outside the town. And now that they're in a sophomore year of high school and it's been 2 years since they hang out together. Anna still comes home every now and then but it's only for 3 or 4 days and she barely has time to catch up with her family. Kana's dad said that she's busy cause she's working while studying in college.
