ANNOUNCEMENT

I'd like to inform everyone who has been reading this story, that Difference in Worlds is now being rewritten. The first chapter of that rewrite is already out and has more than 11k words. I'm certain that plenty of people are going to upset that it's being rewritten, since it was so far into the story already, but my only hope is that you guys give me rewrite some of your time and comment after you've read it. I've read through Difference in Worlds again and noticed many different cons in the story. It felt awkward and some characters had annoying personalities. You don't really notice this from a writer's point of view, so I figured this out later.

There are a lot of major changes in the story that I've done, so there won't be any scenes that you've already seen before. It'll be like an entirely different story, but with the same characters.

Here, have this preview of the first chapter.

Chapter One – First day

The scary enemy nobody can run away from appears!
Its name is "Monday".
I was still half-asleep as I attempted to confirm this fact, when my blanket was slowly removed by someone.

"Good morning, Len. I love you," a familiar female voice said as I felt someone hovering above my body. The girl suddenly leaned in to kiss me, but I quickly intercepted her face with my hand.

"Good morning, Neru. I appreciate your love, but let's stay friends," I offered her as I leaned up from my futon(1); the blonde with a ponytail hanging off the side of her head backed off as I did.

"… I got dumped," Neru stated nonchalantly, as if it wasn't a big deal. "I almost had it too." she clicked her tongue in disappointment.

"That wasn't close," I clarified. "Don't try to kiss me out of nowhere."

"A girl's mind can sometimes turn into a raptor."

"Well, time to wake up." I ignored her absurd statement and stood up from my futon.

"Breakfast is ready," Neru informed me as she helped me fold my futon.

"Alright." I lazily stuffed my bedding into the wall closet.

"Or I can be your breakfast," Neru offered as she placed her palms on her cheeks and feigned a blush.

"I'm gonna change, so please leave," I told her, not giving her much of a reaction.

"I put out your uniform." Neru didn't persist any further and excused herself from my room. True to her word, my school uniform was straightened out and readily displayed on the floor. The uniform consisted of a short sleeve white collar shirt with a dark navy stripe going around the shoulder and the edge of the sleeve, and dark navy pants with no particular design on it. The female uniform was practically the same except the pant was a skirt.

"I didn't even ask her, but at least she's mindful," I muttered to myself with a shrug.

"Hey, are you awake, Len?" a tall boy with long purple hair tied into single ponytail came into my room.

"Gakupo, you opened my room's lock again," I accused him.

"It's your fault for not waking up early," he answered. "Oh?" Gakupo turned his gaze towards my closet and noticed that it was left ajar with my futon sticking out of the gap. "That's not good, Len. Your futon is messed up." After telling me so, he proceeded to pull my futon out of the closet and fix it himself. Despite Gakupo's current diligent attitude, he's actually a rather feebleminded guy. When around friends he tends to mess around, but when around acquaintances or strangers he puts on this "diligent mask". Having said this, we are indeed friends, but the reason why he's acting so attentive right now is because his mother is the landlord of the dorm that we're currently in. The only way for him to receive his allowance was to do small tasks like this around the dorm. His earnestness in any tasks he's given is the reason why he was behaving this way.

"Don't scold me first thing in the morning," I complained.

"Why do you say that? I'm saying it because I care about you!" Gakupo shouted at me.

"No it's not. You're saying that because you don't want to do this," I accused him.

"You shouldn't point out things that I was obviously trying to avoid admitting! I should cut you into pieces for that!" he threatened as he pulled out his wooden sword, which was strapped to his belt.

"Don't pull out your sword just because of that! You're needlessly quick to draw your weapon!" I exclaimed.

"Hmph." Gakupo went back to properly folding the futon.

"I like to sleep until the last minute," I told him before I went to the washroom. I washed my face and got changed into my uniform to refresh myself before returning to my room.

"There you go," Gakupo muttered as he slid my closet door shut with a proud grin on his face.

I briefly tossed my sleepwear into the corner of my room before going back out to the hallway. I smiled wryly as I heard Gakupo swear in annoyance behind the door. Once I was outside my room I followed the smell of breakfast towards the dining room.

There's a woman at this dorm called Kamui Gakuko who cooks breakfast and dinner for us on weekdays. Such motherly woman is the elder sister of Gakupo and was currently in her late twenties.

"Oh, good morning, Len!" a woman greeted me as I neared the dining room. She had long purple hair tied into a pony tail similar to Gakupo, but was a darker shade.
She was Gakuko (29 years old). Leo. Loves Korean drama.

"Good morning." I returned her greeting. "You look beautiful like always." Despite her young appearance, Gakuko is known to have a complex regarding her age. Everyone would tell her that she's worrying unnecessarily, since she's often mistaken as a high school student despite being almost in her thirties.

"Thank you, Len. I'll add an egg to your breakfast!" she offered me happily, obviously flattered by my compliment. As I was talking with Gakuko, Neru came down the stairs from the 2nd floor. "Come on, why don't you flatter me too, Neru?" She turned to glance at her.

"I don't feel like it…" Neru muttered while avoiding her gaze.

"You're talking like this certain actress from a drama I watched." Gakuko let out a sigh.

"That joke's old now," Neru replied calmly.

"What did you say?! Are you saying I'm old?!" Gakuko suddenly shouted in accusation.

"Well then, food, food." Not planning to stick around any longer I quickly excused myself.
