章 155: Distracted (1)

Ken woke up on Saturday morning feeling refreshed despite his alarm clock beeping at him at 5am. Since they had a light training yesterday, his muscles had time to recover and since he didn't text Ai last night he'd had plenty of sleep.

It was weird. Ai hadn't attended training on Thursday afternoon, and she was away from school yesterday, something that was very rare for her. He'd even tried emailing her last night to check on her, only to receive a short reply.

He shrugged, clearly not understanding how women operated.

"Maybe I'll swing by her house on my run." He mumbled.

Since it was game day, he had until 9am when the bus would depart to arrive at school.

After getting dressed and saying goodbye to his mother, Ken popped on his shoes and began his morning run. Now that it was summer he was able to catch the sunrise on most mornings, adding a touch of beauty to the Japanese skyline.
