My life sucks, no kidding

Showing a glimpse of my true feelings to someone sucks, no kidding.

[ •The next Day, Sakura Hall• ]

When I agreed to my teacher's offer, the offer of staying at Sakurasou for a month in exchange of getting a free one week pass to sleep in the school's art room, I knew that I'd be going to have a busy month. I wasn't fond of the situation, but I still held onto that little hope that it wouldn't be as bad as I thought it'd be.

That hope all but crumpled into a million pieces when I was woken up from my slumber by a knock at my door.

Upon checking the time, I found it to be only 5:45 in the morning. School doesn't start till eight, so why in the world and who in the world, is there knocking at my door at this time? Don't you have something better to do? Like, I don't know, blowing up and not disturbing someone when they are trying to sleep? Go away, you're annoying.

The knock at my door didn't go away like I hoped it would if I kept my mouth shut, instead, those slight knocks on my door turned into full blown banging which even the blanket I covered myself with couldn't keep at bay.

Oh, for fuck's sake-

"Matsumura-kun! I'd like to inform you that you can take a bath if you want to!" A voice that I recently became familiar with, came from the other side of the door making me groan in annoyance.

What the heck Kanda?! Are you trying to be polite? Sorry to inform you, but you're failing miserably in that task!

"Tch. Leave. I'll take a bath when I want to." I grumbled to myself as I covered my head even deeper into my blanket. Let me sleep, damnit! Five more minutes.

I really wanted to be polite, I really did. The guy was trying to be a nice dorm-mate, no matter how similar to a devil he looked in my eyes after such action, he didn't mean anything wrong. Still, I was sleepy so I couldn't stop those words from leaving my mouth. I just hope he doesn't get offended.

"You can take your 'yasashiness' and shove it up your ass!" Okay, he is definitely going to get offended!

Fortunately, lady luck was on my side, and the blanket covering my face made those words come out as nothing but incomprehensible groaning. Sorata continued banging on my door without a hint of hearing my 'words of gratification' at his actions.

"I-uh, I know that you must not be used to waking up this early in the morning. It took me a while to get used to this schedule too, but please understand that we've to share the bathroom with others. If you don't take a bath now when it's free, you might not get the chance to do so later. Misaki-senpai takes a lot of time in the bath, so you'd be late for school if you go after her."

I cursed under the blanket before letting out a torpid sigh. I reluctantly took my blanket off my body, got up from the bed and rubbed my eyes. Just as my eyes got adjusted to my surroundings, the sight of my new room filled my vision.

As per Chihiro-sensei's instructions, Kanda-kun showed me my room yesterday which was directly facing his own. The front of my door held a worn out board with '104' written on it. The interior of my room was quite simple. A bed, a window and a clock on the wall, with a computer table with a computer on top of it. The floor was covered with a grey carpet, and I couldn't help but feel glad it's not pink.

On our way to my room, Kanda-kun and I talked about a few things, which mostly consisted of him telling me the things I needed to know about Sakurasou.

There was a huge Sakura tree in the courtyard, that Kanda-kun told me about since he was explaining to me the origin of the name 'Sakurasou'. I also got to learn about the rules here. Boys were not allowed to go to the second floor, as it was the girls' dorm, whereas girls were free to come to the boys' dorm whenever they pleased. I thought it wasn't fair to the boys, but I didn't dwell on it too much. It's not like someone is going to shamelessly barge into my room, right?
