your pov

"y/n. y/n. y/n, it's time to be awake." you hear someone say kindly, before they poke your cheek with a finger and climb partly on top of you.

you groan, shaking your head slightly. "yumekoo.. let me sleep. also, get off, you don't need to straddle my thighs to wake me up."

"it helped though, didn't it? you're such a cute sleepyhead, if i don't annoy you you'll fall right back into the world of dreams!"

the compulsive gambler smiled from above you, dimples flashing.

"but seriously though, the meeting for the top three with the most points is going to start in forty minutes, and you should get ready and be fully awake for that. i can't wait to see you gamble! and i'm sure it'll turn into really high stakes!"

"mmph." huffing in frustration for your lack of time to sleep, you sit up, sliding your legs out from under yumeko and turning in a fluid motion so they hit the floor instead.

"well. i guess you aren't wrong, i kinda do need to be awake for that. can you go find midari and check if she has any cans of monster left? i'm going to get dressed."

yumeko, beams, apparently overjoyed that you're taking the opportunity to boss her around. "right away, master!"

she jumps off the bed, spinning in a circle with her arms outstretched before leaving the room in a run to go find the beautification officer.

yumeko was really hyper for someone who must have woken up a few minutes before you.

you chuckle slightly, although you're a little concerned and also confused, but you follow what you said you would do previously and change into regular day clothes. this would probably be the last normal outfit in the school for a while, since tomorrow was monday and back to regular life, academy uniforms included.

finally, you pull on socks and slip into your shoes, standing up and arching your back in a long stretch. maybe half an hour left now until what the president had plotted for the competition to be on the student council.

should you look for sayaka? but then yumeko wouldn't know where to find you to deliver the energy drink if she manages to find midari.

looking around, you find your overnight bag and wrap your fingers around your phone, clicking it open.

kaede, the only person who hadn't attended the event, had been texting the instagram group chat. a lot.
