Her alarm was the first thing she heard in the morning. The annoying sound of it on repeat to be exact. The girl groaned as she reached for her phone to turn the devil's song of. One more minute and then she would have to take off the warm comfort blanket that was wrapped around her well build body and she would have to...

What did she had to do again?
Oh, yes she had to attend to her lectures.

The one minute turned to five and five turned to ten, and now she was late again! Yes, she had a habit to oversleep, but could you blame the poor girl? Everyone has their downsides. Now the thing that woke her up was her friend's voice.

"What?" She groggily asked, eyes still closed.

"Girl if you don't take your ass out of that damn bed I'm coming myself to get you and you won't like it!" Nobara was basically screaming.

"Stop screaming I am wide awake."

"Thanks to me!" She shouted again. God help us all with her temper. I love and cherish Nobara but when she's angry you better hide to safe yourself from her wrath. "Stop yelling goddamn it." I cursed and stood up taking the warm covers off my body.

I took from my closet a black hoodie, a pair of baggy jeans and my leather jacket and after putting the first pair of socks that came across me when I opened the drawer, I almost completed my, run fast for your life or Nobara will kill you look, except for my shoes that stood besides the door. Putting them on too I noticed my roommate sitting on her desk.

"Finally!" She crossed her arms scoffing. "I'm sorry! I overslept, it won't happen again."

"You say that everyday! Let's go." She grabbed my hand dragging me along, not before locking the door.

When we finally arrived, I noticed that the halls were filled with students, running around in order to find their classes.

I looked around trying to find Yuji and Megumi and in process bumped into the former male. "Yuji!" I called out to him and he turned around.

It wasn't Yuji.

"The bitch" I was greeted by the notorious twin. He was well known for all the troubles he always caused and was of course the king of all parties. Our relationship was strange. We tended to insult each other, taking great pleasure in getting on each other's nerves, but other than that we did not particularly speak to each other.

"Good morning to you too." I greeted him back. "Where's Yuji?"

"In class. As you should be too. Why aren't you? Skipping class again?" He raised an eyebrow teasing me. "No." Was all I said and left to find my classroom. I didn't have the time or the energy to deal with his shit.

The bell had just rang signalling the start of those torturous lectures that you could die from boredom. I took my seat on the desk and the class started to fill with students, everyone taking their seat until every vacant seat was taken except one.

Seems like I wasn't the only one skipping.

My gaze traveled around the room trying to find a familiar face. I failed though. So instead I let my thoughts run wild while looking at the view that the window on my left provided.

Maybe my thoughts ran a bit too wild because I never noticed my professor walking in class and starting his lecture until he mentioned the project that Nobara talked about the other day.

"... You will be paired with the person next to you and you will have a month to complete it. You will also have to demonstrate your project in front of the class." He finished. What was the project about again? I'm sure he mentioned it but of course I was busy thinking about what I would eat at home. I laughed mentally. Well, maybe my partner would know about it.
