Tenkai Knights: Summer Slumber

Chapter 3

June 3, 2036 5:00 A.M. [North America West Coast]

Ceylan's POV

I had my eyes closed, having that sudden urge to get up.

...Because the alarm wouldn't shut the heck up.

I forced my eyes to open as I walked over to the sound of the seaside themed alarm and looked at the time. 5 o'clock in the morning.

Dammit! Why was work like this?!

Immediately, I hit the snooze button since the light coming from the phone was shining on my friend, Guren, who was sleeping on the floor because we had only one bed and decided to take turns sleeping on it each night. I dragged myself to the shower and stripped off my boxers and turned on the hot shower water. I was thinking about what was going to happen today because I'm like that one person who's bound to get fired on the first day anyways. After rinsing off all the soap, I turned off all the water and opened the shower cabinet door, only to find the worst moment that could ever happen to someone. When you forget your towel.

Okay, Ceylan. Don't panic.

There's nothing to worry about.

I mean-

Wait.

Seriously, why am I so embarrassed about this? The only person in this room is Guren. My best friend. Can't be that bad. Friends should be able to know each other. I mean we share about...stuff. I think that was a good choice of words. Well, I guess I have to sneak out and get my towel. I slowly peeked through the cabinet to see if Guren was in the bathroom.

I just didn't want to wake the dude up, you know? I stepped out into the bathroom and tiptoed to the bedroom where Guren was and saw that my bag...

Was... next to our bed.

Ah great.

Because of this, I had to tiptoe fast, but quietly. I managed to sneak past my friend. Heh, I must be pretty good at this! I thought to myself. Maybe I should try to do something better than this. I grabbed the bag and ran to cartwheel myself back to the bathroom. However, when I was passing by Guren, I lost my balance and fell. Dam-

"Nhghh..." Guren was about to wake up and see me naked! I panicked as he got up and bolted straight towards the bathroom. Lesson learned.

Never forget your towel.

Once in the bathroom, the first thing I would do is put on a towel, then I dried myself, as Guren entered sleepily. He rubbed his eyes, which then widened suddenly. "Oh! S-sorry for going into here! I thought you were s-still asleep!" He stuttered, as I was just drying my hair. He went out of the bathroom before I could say anything. I pulled over my working uniform as Guren came in again to get ready for his part-time job too.

"Pfft...! I'm going to be a bellboy. I'm totally going to keep this job." I looked at myself in the mirror, with the uniform on. Guren stepped into the shower as he smiles at my comment. I kept on playing with the uniform when a sound from the shower made my ears listen. I could hear Guren taking off his shirt and I stood there without reaction. What the heck? Why am I just suddenly acting like a statue? Oh! It's no big deal!

I look at the mirror and Guren threw all of his clothes over the shower cabinet. Sheesh, I think I'm the one with manners now that we all got dragged here because of Toxsa! I ran out of the bathroom and walked the elevator to get to the lobby.

Let's see if I get fired on the first day!

Toxsa's POV

"I don't wanna get up!" I hid myself in the covers of the blankets, meanwhile Chooki was getting ready.
