Well that certainly was a... interesting experience I guess? I dunno man, I'm just gonna come out and say that it was a little weird. Might be because I didn't have any idea why they were fighting, but still, it's just kinda weird that everyone settles every single argument by fighting. Just seems like a lot of work to me.


The tips of my hair start to glow blue. Guess I can't sleep yet since I've gotta build up some more dream energy. Some people would say it's an inconvenience, but you get pretty used to it after a while. A while as in my whole life I mean.


I walk up the spiral staircase, carefully trying not to try on one of the stairs 'cuz it was so dark. Yeah, there was a lamp at the bottom of the stairs, but the light only helps out so much. Anyways, I try my best to be quiet since the other three are sleeping right now. Even though I might be a little... ya know, I don't really like being a problem to others, Y'know what I mean? Especially when it comes to sleep. Trust me, as a person whose species revolves around sleeping, I know how important it is. But yeah, it's like... even though a lot of people might think of me a trouble maker, I don't intend on causing it. It's still pretty funny to play a few jokes now and then though.


I enter my room and slowly close my door. Ahh my sweet sweet bed. I face-plant into the pillows and bury myself inside the covers. Yeah, I'd like to sleep, but if I did I would just wake up maybe an hour later. I should probably just wait a bit and let myself recharge before I commit to snoozin'. Pulling out my phone, I decided to look through my pictures just for funsies. Haha! I forgot I took this before I left the dorm! It was a picture of Artemis sleeping on the couch. For someone as serious and respectful as her, I'd never expect Artemis to drool in her sleep. Honestly surprised she didn't wake up from me walking around to be honest. Must be a heavy sleeper or somethin'.


Let's see... what else do I have here? Oh! I remember this one. My friends, took a picture of me holding my Crimson Wood letter... Huh. I never said "bye" to them before I left, did I? I was sort of pulled here while I was sleeping... Hm. I hope they're alright. Wonder when I'll see them again. I spent my whole life with them in the orphanage. Literal day ones! But still, they don't have any sort of powers or abilities that can get them here, sadly. I sigh and turn onto my back. Didn't realize how much I'll miss them until now. Ugh. What am I being so sad about? I'll be sure to tell them all about the stuff that happened here! It's only been a day and so much has happened already. Maybe that's something I shouldn't be too excited about to be honest. I did almost get attacked twice already, which is two times too many.


Now that I think about it, I haven't exactly been in an actual fight in a while. I wonder if I can still at least do something if I ever get caught in one. But still, that's what Artemis is for! I'm planning on just following her most of the school day. Kinda like she's my bodyguard of some sorts. I'm taking advantage of her or anything, I'm just... making use of her personality? Wait, no that's still taking advantage. Uhh... Okay, maybe I am, but fighting just seems like so much work! No no no, not seems like, it probably is! Thankfully my ability sort of helps me with most of the work, but it looks like such a hassle to be worrying about so many things all at once. I'm not like one of those people who are somehow just able to think up a whole creative way to dodge in the span of 0.00104 seconds. I'm more of a person who's able to come up with a simple way to get out of the way in a second or two. Yeah, I just don't like thinking so much in general. Makes my brain hurt!


Wait, what was I talking about again? Oh right! I turn on my phone camera and go into selfie mode to look at my hair. Let's see... so if it's 1 am right now, and my hair is around halfway... then I should be able to get around 8 hours of sleep? I think that should be okay, right? I do have it free for first period, so I can pretty much do whatever I want.
