"Please shut up for five minutes Kaira!" I tossed the pillow at her unconsciously. My body refuses to leave the bed, as the morning rays feel like thrones on my skin, and I escape them by putting the spare pillow over my head, blocking out the commotion coming from my good friend who is attempting to drag me out of bed so early in the morning.
"And I'm telling you to get out of your bed right now or I'm leaving you alone because I don't want to get late on the first day to the assembly hall just because you refuse to not be a lady hag." She cried again, pointing her hand at me and scolding me as if she were my mother.
"Yes please, get out." I lifted my hand and waved goodbye to her. I can clearly hear her grumbling in displeasure, but my sleep is more important to me right now than anything else. I blew out a sigh of relief as I heard the door close and the tranquilly spread within my room, giving me more space to wipe the pillow off my face, and I can already feel myself falling asleep.
With nobody to disturb me, I grinned as I felt myself becoming comfortable, and I felt as if I was floating when, with a sudden jerk, I sat up, looked around and adjusted my eyes to the light and surroundings. "Oh?" Did I forget I wasn't at home, but in the dormitory? And did I forget I had a class to attend? And did I forget it's my first day at university?
"Oh no!" I felt my feet twist as I tried to get out of bed quickly. Following the incident in which I fell on my face, thanks to my quick reflex, I prevented my face from being broken by allowing myself to stop with my hands, "phew! Calm down; it doesn't matter whether we are late; what counts is whether we are present or not!"
Since I can already see that I'm running nearly fifteen minutes behind schedule on the wall watch, I understood that I was attempting to console myself. I got up, hurried into the shower, put on some clothes, and exited the space. Above all, I want to make sure that I don't forget to lock the door because I don't want to experience the same situation again.
I threw my shoulder bag over my head and tried to run. "What's so unique about newcomers? What's with the hospitality?" I sighed as I turned to the left and saw the door to the hall. It was an uphill battle to figure out the route, which added to the predicament of being late. I should've listened to my dear friend.
I came to a halt as I faced the door, debating whether to open it or return. Is it okay if I miss the event just this once? With a tourmaline racing through my head, I grip the door knob with a strong want to return, my introverted nature urging me not to, but I also don't want to miss anything significant.
"You're going to create a hole in it." I heard someone speak, and the next thing I knew, they stopped my hand, opened the door, and ushered me inside, intimately compelling me to do the same, "it's okay, you're not late!" She grinned back at me and took my hand, pulling me inside. I'm glad it was the back door since I don't have to be acknowledged by anyone.
"Okay, see you," she waved her hand and smiled sweetly at me. Wow, she's beautiful, as I see her walk up to sit near the window. To be clear, I see no vacant seats for me to occupy. There wasn't one in the entire hall until I came to a halt in the twelfth row. There sat a single person with no companions, so I believe I finally had my chance. Let's get it.
