It's so sad that lectures resume tomorrow. I don't like the repetition of the lecturers faces or time table at school . It's annoying. Especially when it's boring. I wish we could be given an addition of tomorrow as another holiday. Im seriously enjoying study time with....ehem

Its late and I'm getting ready to sleep . I love closing my eyes and drifting off. I mean , man, the peace that comes with it. So awesome.
I've arranged my clothes for tomorrow and packed my bag and stuff. All that's left is to wait but I'd rather not. I'll let myself wait in dreamland.

My roommates are finally back and we've lived through our reunion. Everyone made sure to commend me for finally getting some foodstuff though I'm not sure when I'll ever use them.

........

I stretch my hands and feel around for my phone to shut the alarm. I find it and shut it off. Too bad I'm not the only one. Just as I was about to sleep for a little longer two other alarms start their round of disturbance and yet the owners haven't awoken.
I check the time and it's still too early . Since everyone seemed too exhausted I'll let them rest a little longer.

I managed to bath and have breakfast,cornflakes, in twenty minutes and then i go on "disturb my roommates mission" I wake the ones I know want to wake at the time and return to my preparations.

....I thought i shut my alarm off....ohhh it's my ringtone. As i realize that , I quickly reach for the phone and answer the call. It's Derrick. With his grumpy sleeping voice.
"You're awake" he questions

"And you're not. Aren't supposed to be in class"
I question him. He's nice. I like that I can be free with him.

" I am in class I dosed off waiting for you" ohhhh, no wonder. No more questions.
"When are you guys coming" he questions

"Im done getting ready but I can't come out alone. It's too dark outside" ...which makes me wonder , "How do you guys manage to get to class this early"

I hear the smile in his voice "It's a secret"

"Come on!!!"

"Nope, not telling you"
Meanie. If he says he won't then he really won't.

"Fine, don't tell me. I'm on my way now"

"Ok, see you"
He says as he cuts the call.

......

Man it's cold. We managed to get to class early as shivering as ever . This town is so cold. Im wearing my warm hoody and a face mask yet I'm still as cold as ever.
I walk in to class scanning through to see If I can spot Derrick.

I'm not sure how but we sit together now. Ever since he was split with his ...ehem, during the class separations. The class separations happened because our classroom was way too small to accommodate all of us so the classes were split into four....class A,B,C and D. With our class denoted as class B. Even with that though I still say there is too much of us in this class.

Derrick keeps seats at the front for me and one of his other female friends. They're close, I'm not really sure if she's his family or not but they look very close. Im guessing his ...girlfriend left him because she was jealous , I mean , the dude has too many female company.

I sit on my usual seat and scoot over to keep a seat for Miranda. She still isn't here yet. I feel like i took her place because she's the one that usually sits with him and now I seriously don't know how I ended up sitting here. She doesn't seem to mind though.

"Hey" I greet him

"Morning, you guys are always late"

"Late? It's not even six yet"

"Well we come here around , four" i open my mouth in wonder, trying to form words.
They know that's not normal right. I'm not even comfortable with coming at this time and yet they come to class as early as four am. This is not okay.

"Say something. You're just staring at me" he complains

"Of course I'll stare at you. I mean four am . Wow... you guys are ...wonderous." I say . Not sure if thats a word. He doesn't seem to care though.

We continue smalltalk and don't even notice when time passed so quickly.

"Where is my seat" Miranda asks ,pulling off her signature innocent face . She's so cute and nice.

"You have to sit with us. Slangs will scoot over for you".

We get properly seated and then the lecturer walks in.... oh well... here goes a long day.

......

It's only been an hour and I'm so exhausted. I can't believe we have four more hours of this torture to go.
I drop my pen and rest my head on the table to relax. Relaxation is short lived as Derrick knocks on my table. "Wake up sleepy head."

I groan inwardly and try my best to look as pitiful as i can so he can allow me a few minutes more. "Nope get up. You have to copy note for us."

"Us ?" I question "Aren't you writing."

"I don't have a pen"

"What about the one you were just using"

"It stopped writing" he answers.
I pick up the pen and try it out. Weird . It was fine a while ago.

"Okay fine you can use mine" I say hoping to get away and sleep.

"Oh no you don't. We can't risk you not paying attention, you are the brain amongst us"
Fine

I poutingly pick up the pen and resume the note even though the lecturer seems to have given me quite a gap. I start to copy from Miranda since she seems to have a complete and neat note.

I continue writing until I notice Derrick staring. I feel my insides warm up and I feel all goofy. Im not even sure if it's me he's looking at. I turn to look at him only to make eye contact and to see that he was in-fact staring at me. Butterflies erupt in my tummy and I can't seem to stop smiling. I quickly turn away and shyly cover my lips. So embarrassing. What's the big deal if he's staring at you. I close my eyes and rest my head trying to calm my crazy nerves. Get yourself together.
There he goes again. Knocking on my table before I enjoyed ten seconds of my moment. Annoying.
