(Yeah it's better, thanks.)
--Tamao--
It was just as I had thought earlier, the day did seem short. Back when recess was called off, I had scanned the whole area one last time to see if Astro Boy and Max returned. It looked like they hadn't and I wanted to wait longer for them, but I knew that I had to return to class. Our teacher also didn't seem too happy to not see Astro or Max among us, and decided that she would have to give the two a penalty for that. I had sunk into my seat with that thought.
School had ended shortly after though, and immediately I hurried out to go find Astro Boy and Max, dragging my heavy backpack full of gadgets and other tools. Their disappearance was just too concerning for me to ignore it. Unfortunately I wasn't built for running and had soon slowed to a stop, breathing and exhaling laboriously, not too far from the school property.
"I'm sure they're okay..." I tried to reassure myself, placing a thumb against my chin. But I still wanted to find them, and continued to head the way where they had left.
A few minutes had passed, when I saw a familiar boy with shining spikes on his head.
"Astro Boy!" I exclaimed and ran towards him, but stopped suddenly.
Atlas and Uran were with him. I ushered a quick gasp and quickly ran off to the side, kneeling down and hiding from the other side of a nearby bench. What was Atlas doing here, I wondered.
