I frown a little, I didn't want to give him a straight answer, not until I was sure the Device actually works. Otherwise, I'd feel like a pretty big fool. I quickly come up with an excuse, “yeah, sorry. Something urgent came up and I had to leave,” I says, “anyway, we are super late, so we better hurry up and head inside,” and that is what we do.
Kiyoshi looks at me, I can tell that he is not really buying my excuse, “oh really,” he asks, “you shouldn't play coy, J-Man. I am on to you.”
I look at him with a frown, “what's that supposed to mean?”
Kiyoshi doesn't answer, he just smiles stupidly, I let out a sigh and shake my head, “what ever,” I mumble. We reach the door to our first class and I knock on the door, a few seconds later Yui storms out.
“John! Kiyoshi! You two are super late,” she barks at us.
'Here we go,' I think to myself.
“Both of you live in walking distance of the school for crying out loud,” the purple haired girl continues, “what possible excuse could you have?!”
I try my best to put on a awkward smile, “um... we were up late, doing some research,” I say, hoping Yui will buy it. Besides, it wasn't technically a lie.
“I'm sure you were,” Yui says sarcastically, “you know, at your age...,” while she is talking, I grab the Device in my pocket. I still needed to test it, and, well, it wouldn't be a big issue if I used it for such a small thing, would it?
