15 School Days 2 (1/2)

The previous day's classes had ended up being cancelled because of the large commotion the events caused. Initially the teachers had attempted to continue with their classes as they normally went but they quickly realized it was doing more harm than good.

Students in every class were restless and found themselves checking their phones every couple minutes so they could stay up to date on the newest news relating to the happenings.

Rather quickly, the teachers had lost patience with teaching people who were completely and obviously ignoring them and had made the decision as a group to end classes early for the day.

Normally, the teachers would have simply taken the phones of the students who were using them and given them detention, but when it was the entire student population, there was far less they could do about it.

Some of them had created a small fuss over having to end classes just because the students were not behaving in class, but after the rest informed the teachers who had remained in class about what had happened they had found themselves equally interested in hearing the news and agreed readily to ending classes early.

It was like this that Aria found herself having to rush to get ready instead of having plenty of spare time in the morning. She had to be ready earlier than usual in order to show Aika around campus from a student's perspective and stop by the library with her to pick up the materials for each class.

When they had discussed the plan the night before, she had planned to just wake up 20 minutes earlier than usual and still have plenty of time to get ready slowly and do everything with ease, but the day's events had taken a toll on her.

Although she had planned to be awake 20 minutes early, she didn't wake up until 20 minutes after the usual time she woke up and had found Aika still asleep as well.

After they were both awake, it became an awkward mix of rushing to get ready and dancing around each other to not slow down the other as neither of them was even slightly used to sharing a room with someone else.

Eventually the two girls found themselves standing in the elevator only 5 minutes behind the planned schedule.

As the elevator slowly approached the ground floor, Aika shifted around nervously. Normally she was extremely confident and could things without any reaction, but she always ended up nervous when it came to arriving on time for things.

Despite their success in business, or maybe because of it, neither of her parents were very good at arriving to places on time and the extra attention she gained from arriving late for things throughout her childhood had gradually built up into a small fear of being late.
