Chapter 10
"So what are you going to do now, Hoshi?"
The girl slipped on her usual baggy cream and bright green shirt over her head, sticking her fingers through the glove holes of the shirt. Vul continued to watch her partner lazily get ready for the day and flipped onto her back boringly.
"Planet AM to Hoshi, oh wait, we're on Earth. You have school today so hurry up!" the alien joked.
"I don't really care about school, but what's the hurry?" Hoshi piped up, slipping on her transer and checking the time.
Vul warped into the device and stared directly at the girl's ocean blue eyes.
"It's school. Why don't you ever go to school early?" the fox asked.
"... Accidents happen, enough said!" the girl said brightly, hiding her frustration.
'Accident, huh?'
"Let's just go now," Hoshi said swinging her backpack onto her shoulder.
The girl walked out of the house and headed over directly to school,.stretching her arms above her head.
"Sensei better not lecture me again... I'm actually going to be earlier than usual today," Hoshi told herself.

'Today, I will make that Subaru go to school TODAY!' Luna growled to herself.
The girl slowly reached over to the doorbell, the door suddenly swinging open before her finger made contact with the button. Subaru gave a long tired yawn and rubbed at his eyes, bags forming underneath them.
'I'm going to school now, Mom...' the boy muttered walking away from the building.
Luna's jaw dropped wide open as she stared at the boy with disbelief. The girl turned over to look at his mother and pointed at the boy with shocked, a bunch of noise coming out of her throat, yet no words came out.
"H- Wha- Wh- HUH?!" the girl exclaimed.
"I know, I'm surprised myself," Subaru's mother said, putting weight on her left leg.
"Bye, Mom! I'll catch up with Subaru and see how he's doing!" Suyuri exclaimed, dashing out of the door to catch up to her brother.
"Have fun you two!"
Luna sputtered a few more words and earned a pat on her shoulder, her right eye now twitching with confusion. The door behind her closed shut softly, leaving the girl there all by herself.
"... W-WHAT'S GOING ON?!"
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
Subaru gave another long yawn as he headed to the bus station with his sister following behind him excitedly.
"How are you so energetic for school..?" the boy asked, looking over at his twin.
His lowered eyelids made him look really tired and uninterested even though his voice only sounded strain from the lack of sleep.
"Well, you're finally going to school after how long now? And it's also by your own will! How can I not be happy?" Suyuri asked, smiling brightly at the boy.
Footsteps were heard behind the two as they continued to wait for the late vehicle to come, a light poke suddenly contacted the back of Subaru's neck.
"Ah! Wha-?" Subaru said, looking behind him.
The boy's tired brown eyes made contact with ocean blue eyes once again as he eyed the person behind him curiously. Hoshi gave a small smile and lifted up her hand to give a small quick wave.
"Hey. You look like you had a rough night," the girl began, yawning a little.
"I guess you can say that..." Subaru trailed off, looking away a little.
The boy's memory from yesterday and of course last night began to flow back into his brain, increasing in speed every few seconds.
'Hey, Subaru?' Omega-Xis asked.
"What? What is it?" his partner replied.
'Remember when you mentioned classmates and school?'
Subaru didn't reply back to the alien, not wanting to talk about the place he's been isolating himself from.
'What's a school? And why don't you go to school like what you mother asks you to do?' the alien continued.
"... It's a place to study.. And I don't want to go," Subaru finally said, breaking the small silence he kept up.
'I want to see this place called 'school'! Come on, let's go to 'school'' Omega-Xis suddenly exclaimed, emphasizing the word every time he mentioned it.
"No thanks. I can study here at home where I feel most comfortable with."
The alien groaned a little and began to throw a fit.
'I want to go to school! It's boring here! Subaruu! Hey!'
Hours, minutes, seconds, milliseconds and much more continued to pass by as the day continued with the whining alien and the poor irritated boy, the sun beginning to set.
'I WANT TO GO! I'M BOREDDDDDD! SUBARUUUUUUU, LET'S GOOOO!'
The boy groaned and tightened his grip on his pencil, trying his best to ignore his wizard. Even more time passed and it was now night time, Subaru trying to sleep and Omega still complaining and whining to get what he wants.
'SUBARU! SCHOOL! I WANT TO GO! NOW! NOW, NOW, NOW, NOW, NOWWWWW!'
Subaru snapped opened his eyes to a glare and promptly sat up from bed without delay, getting off his bed and turning on the lights. The boy took out one of his shirts and walked over to where his transer was, the device Omega-Xis was inhabiting in temporarily or so he said.
'Ha?' the alien said, unaware of the deadly presence around his chosen partner.
Loud banging and clanking noises were now heard along with several screams and struggling groans in the boy's room, waking up the other family members in his house. Subaru was now panting heavily, staring at the device in frustration as it shook and moved side to side, Omega-Xis' voice being muffled by the cloth.
'MMMFFH! MPHMF!' the alien tried saying.
'Subaru? What are you doing up there? Are you trying to construct a sofa or something?' his mother asked. 'Go to sleep!'
"Okay, Mom!" the boy replied as he returned his attention to the transer.
"We are NOT going to SCHOOL, you got that?!" the boy gritted.
'MFHHHHH MFFHHHHHHHHHHHH!'
"You seem to look tired yourself," Subaru pointed out after remembering the horrid experience of sleep deprivation.
Hoshi let out a chuckle and gave a small shrug.
"Slightly.. Hello, Suyuri-san," Hoshi greeted normally, looking at the girl closely.
"Hiya!" the female twin replied.
The sky blue and silver waves from yesterday were nowhere to be found near the girl, leaving Hoshi a little doubtful.
'I'm sure there was white or silver waves near her...' Hoshi thought.
"Aww, you're not wearing the clothes I picked out for you today!" Suyuri whined.
"Ah... Right... Sorry," the girl replied, snapping out of her thoughts.
"Wear them tomorrow, okay?" Suyuri asked, smiling at Hoshi brightly.
"... Fine, fine.." the girl reluctantly agreed.
"Yes! You'll look great!"
Hoshi sobbed a little to herself as the bus finally arrived, loading the students to bring to school. Subaru sat down in the empty middle row as Suyuri shoved Hoshi next to the boy and sat down next to her. The two students almost collided their heads together, missing by an inch.
"Careful, Suyuri-san, you don't want us to get hurt now," Hoshi said uncomfortably.
The girl just let out a giggle and stuck out her tongue playfully as she knocked her own head lightly with her fist. Hoshi smiled and shook her head, trying to get comfortable on the seat in between the twins.
"Are you alright?" Subaru asked, giving a tired smile to the girl next to him.
"Just fine, don't worry about me."
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
Finally arriving at Kodamasho Elementary School, Subaru and Hoshi parted ways with Suyuri and went to class after dropping her off at the office for her class. The two chattered tiredly and exchanged laughter and jokes to each other on the way to their classroom, A-2.
"This is our classroom and your seat is over here right behind me. It's good to finally have you in class," Hoshi said, sticking out her hand for a shake.
The boy smiled and returned the gesture without hesitation.
"Likewise."
"You know, school was never really entertaining for me, but since you're here now, let's see how things turn out like," Hoshi told the boy, sitting down in her seat.
Subaru nodded and sat down in his own assigned seat letting out another tired and contagious yawn.
'Whoa, Luna-san, what sorcery did you use on him?' Gonta asked surprisedly.
'Really, I don't know... He just.. went,' Luna replied.
'At least he's now in class and the attendance sheet will finally be completely filled," Kizamaru said.
'So this is a school...' Omega-Xis said entertainingly.
'Yes, yes, now, be quiet and don't you dare do anything funny since you got what you wanted,' Subaru hissed quietly.
'Leave that to me! It may be even better than being cooped up in that room of yours,' the alien exclaimed.
Subaru slapped his forehead and groaned a little, leaving Hoshi a little confused.
'Is he crazy or is it just me?' Vul asked with interest.
'Ha, I don't even know.. Maybe he seriously didn't have enough sleep,' Hoshi replied.
"Fukushima-san!" the teacher called catching the attention of the students in the room.
Hoshi flinched and looked up over to the teacher of the class, staring at her awkwardly and a little frightened. The teacher continued to stare back at the girl with a straight face on, looking a little to serious for the girl's liking.
'W-what, did I fail a test of something?' Hoshi asked herself. 'Impossible.. We haven't had a test yet and I never failed a single one.. Well, yet...'
The teacher finally softened her face expression and changed it to a smile.
"Thank you for coming on time today for once," she said sincerely.
Hoshi let out a breath and sank a little in her seat.
"Please don't scare me like that.." the girl practically begged.
The teacher chuckled and sat down at her desk, taking out the things she needed for her lessons.
"What did she mean by 'for once?'" Subaru asked, leaning over to talk to the girl.
"Every single day I come to class late and I mean really late," Hoshi shrugged.
"Hoshikawa Subaru-san, thank you for attending class with us today," the teacher said, giving him a smile.
Subaru loosened up a little after she thanked him, his heartbeat slowing down a little from the scare.
"We're one and the same," Hoshi joked, giggling a little.
Subaru chuckled at the girl's statement and nodded.
"Yeah, I guess so."
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
Lesson in class continued on silently as their teacher continued to teach the class the subject math, Omega-Xis growing really bored and losing his interest in school.
'Aughhhh, this is so boring...' he complained.
'Shhh... You said you'd be quiet..' Subaru said, putting a finger up to his lips.
An hour passed as class continued at it's usual pace, Hoshi yawning a little.
'Bored, bored, bored! How do you survive here?!' the alien exclaimed.
Subaru forced his transer closed as it continued to clap and open whenever his wizard talked.
'Be. Quiet!'
Another hour passed by as the teacher moved onto the next subject to teach, Subaru now resting his head on the transer to keep it shut. The bpy's head continued to bounce up and down as the alien complained about being so bored to death.
'That's it, I'm out of here!' Omega-Xis exclaimed, leaving the device and going through the black board.
"A-ah! Wait!" Subaru suddenly said, standing up from his seat.
Hoshi blinked at the board after seeing a quick zap of green waves hinted with dark blue, curiously looking behind her to see the boy blush at his actions.
"Is something the matter, Hoshikawa-san?" the teacher asked.
"N-no, nothing at all, Sensei.." the boy stuttered.
Hoshi rolled her eyes and smiled at his response amusingly, sticking out her tongue at the boy playfully. Subaru noticed and gave a sheepish grin at the girl as he sat back down in his seat, returning his attention to the book before him.
—————————————————————————————————————————————————————-
Class finally ended a few moments after the commotion Omega-Xis created in class, Suyuri coming in class to find her twin and Hoshi.
"Ah! Hoshi-chan! Subaru!" the girl called, the two snapping their heads towards her.
Hoshi and Subaru smiled at Suyuri and waved back at her, packing their things quickly to meet up. Luna walked over towards the two with her lackeys and smiled confidently at Subaru.
"Subaru. I have something to talk to you about," the president said, her hands on her hips.
"Like...?"
Luna grabbed the boys arm and then walked out of the room quickly to start a tour for the boy for not being at the school for a whole 3 year.
"..."
"Looks like I'll stay here and wait then..." Hoshi said, looking away.
Suyuri nodded and followed the group to get a better look at the entire place, making sure nothing happens to her brother.
"I'll just keep an eye out for them.."
