Ahh...

Six and a half in the morning...

On a Monday...

Fuck.

You yawned as you looked around your room. As usual, your mind woke you up five minutes before the alarm.

And that's a good thing, because you wouldn't want to wake Lala up who's cuddled up next to you.

Lightly snoring, her grip soft, yet firm on your body. A sight to see...

But nevertheless, you had to get up.

So you shuffled your way out, without moving her too much. And in your place, you put your pillow, so she doesn't wake up with the realization that you are gone.

And then you began your school morning routine.

Get dressed.

Cry.

Eat.

Cry.

Drink the tears.

Cry the tears back out.

Drink water, because tears are salty. Who would've known?

Wash your face, and then brush your teeth.

'No peanut butter...' You thought to yourself.

No peanut butter and jelly sandwich for school. Only jam.

Sad life.

At least you have a harem.

Get your shoes on. Get your backpack.

Quietly leave.

Cry on the way out.

''You look like you've been crying.'' Mero points out as you push her wheelchair in the streets.

''I was.'' You answered, turning a corner.

''Is it the Physics test?'' Meroune asked.

''There's a Physics test?...'' You halted.

...

Awkward silence...

''... I'm sorry, Y/n.'' Mero giggled. ''It got announced on Wednesday, but I forgot to tell you.''

''... Nah it's all good.'' You continued to push her. ''I'll just... You know, try my hardest to pass.''

Mero looked over her shoulder. ''You're positive today. Did something happen?''

''Haha...'' You smiled. ''Well... Yesterday, at the party-''

''You confessed to Centorea, am I right?'' Mero cut in.

''Well no.'' You answered. ''She confessed to me.''

''And I don't believe you.'' Mero turned back to me. ''No way she had the courage to do that.''

''I didn't believe it either! Until she did it...'' Your face went pink just by thinking about it. ''It was nice.''

''I see...'' Meroune closed her eyes. ''... So, does she know?''

''... Huh?'' You snapped back into reality.

''You know... The... Harem.'' Mero reminded.

''... Yeah, she somehow knows.'' You answered, choosing not to elaborate any further on how Centorea would know about it.

''How?'' Mero asked.

''I dunno...'' You rolled your eyes. ''Maybe she... Just got the hint, unlike the others?''
