The alarm blares as Milo Flynn groans sitting up. Today was the day. He would turn 18 in just a few hours. Then he'd go through Verbum Initium. And quite frankly he was dreading it as he gets out of bed stretching and pulling a shirt on and grabbing his glasses. Getting dressed he still had classes today. One would usually have permission to skip the day of classes, work or whatever if Verbum Initium was to happen but Milo had classes to make up after being sick. He'd have to make sure he didn't have any food cooking when he disappeared for those 15 minutes. Slowly he gets dressed silently wondering what word he would get. Hopefully it wasn't something powerful, he didn't want to stand out. He liked being average, hell he knew he wasn't good looking and his sarcastic cynical nature didn't win him many friends either. Not that he cared about that anyways. He just wanted to cook and see people enjoy food. 'Maybe a word regarding cooking would be nice. Yeah. Let's hope for that. Not too flashy but it'd be nice' he thinks as he grabs his phone and stepping out of his house locking the door just as his classmate pulled up to pick him up on the way to class

"Yo! Get in Milo. I didn't realize I was low on gas. We'll have to stop and put some in" Shelia shouts through the open window

"Calm your damn tits we have over an hour before we need to be in class and it only takes thirty minutes to get there from here assuming twenty minutes to refuel and five minutes to find a parking space plus the additional 3-5 minutes to walk to the culinary building and another 5 minutes to change into our uniforms we'll probably still have an additional 10 minutes before class even starts" Milo says as he gets in buckling up

"You're a sarcastic ass sometimes you know that right?" Shelia says as she pulls out of the driveway "also aren't you ashamed to be living with your parents still? Dude you're 18 already move out"

"First off. That was me being analytical not sarcastic. Second off. I turn 18 today " Milo says causing Sheila to shout"WHAT!" as she swerves for a minute in shock "of all the stupid stuff. You're not about to do Verbum Initium in my car are you?!" She ask as she pulls into the parking lot of a gas station

Before Milo can answer Shelia was already out and muttering to herself about something as she starts putting gas in her car and leans on the side of car waiting for the pump to finish.

Milo catches the words "stupid, Milo, idiot, bright idea" through the window crack as he figures she was calling him an idiot for going to classes on his 18th birthday. Sheila was already 19 and received her Word of 'luck' the ability it granted her was just better than normal luck so she could usually get a lot green lights during traffic or win a scratch off lottery ticket if she scratched it.

Milo shrugs as he put his wireless earbuds in and turned on some anime to watch if he did the math right he could finish two maybe three episodes if he skipped the intro and outro.

As the car was refueled Shelia gets in still grumbling as she pulls out and hits the highway once more to go to classes just the same as Milo.
