Kris again woke up before his alarm, and once he turned it off spent a few more minutes just keeping his eyes shut and dozing. Yesterday was really tiresome for him, and he wasn't excited for today either. He finally sighed and muttered incoherently, before sitting up to get dressed.

This time no note awaited him at breakfast, and the rest of his morning was uneventful, until he finally put on his Neuro Linker as he headed out the door. Surprise, and then annoyance met him when he checked his unread email and found Lily's. He barely skimmed her message before shaking his head like he'd just caught a naughty kid, and considered just hitting the Spam button to be over with it. But then she'd probably be on his case even more if he did that, so with a groan he replied:

[quote]Wait, Lily? How'd you figure out my IRL identity from my account in Super Mario Bros Online? Jeez, you are one creepy gal. >_> JK, you probably looked at my Steam Cloud account, I suppose I made my profile too obvious. lol

Anyways, yeah sorry for getting carried away trying to speed run the Superstar Saga, sucks that the boss battle was a forced loss; what a way to spend a night, right? I'll make it up to you at school, I promise. But not today, I'm going to be partying it up after school with my home boys; too bad girls aren't invited. ;) Anyways, I'll see you at school or online again, if you need a quick chat with me! :)[/quote]

He stifled a grin as he sauntered off to school.
