It was a new day with the countless red leaves falling from the sky like a red rain shower, coloring the ground with a vibrant blanket.
"I am off…"
Neal called out to his father, who was having breakfast, and then opened the door.
"Have fun!"
His father sounded.
Neal only sighed at his words, as there was no way he would be having the school all by himself, but when he left the house, he noticed an interesting-looking young man standing by the gate.
"Y-you? What are you doing in front of my house?"
He asked.
Kiernan turned around and looked like he was snacking on something. It sounded crunchy.
"About time. Isn't the school bell ringing in about thirty minutes? You're leaving pretty late, but I guess you'll make it there with a few minutes remaining."
"Why would I go to the school early? I'd rather stay home all day than spend it in that boring place."
Neal said, and with a backpack on his back, he walked down the sidewalk, his eyes fixed on the ground as he went.
