"Who could have thought unpacking was hard!"

"You tell me", I say as I lay on the couch trying to stay awake, "We need to go grocery shopping!", Leo says while writing down the things we need.

"Do we have to go today?", I say lazily. 

"We start school tomorrow, we won't have time, we will be busy for college"

College. A place where you continue your education, which is in fact true. My definition of College in one word, Hell. 

I heard the noise of the keys as I sat up and was about to put my shoes, "Come on! we need to be back before sunset!"

I got up and walked towards the door as I pass by her and open the door, she turns around, "After you", I say as she smiles and walks out the apartment, while humming I close the door and lock it.

The grocery shop wasn't far from where we lived, Leo still didn't want me to drive since she was too scared that I would put her life in "danger". We walked in and started looking for things we needed, " You look for this and I'll look for the others", she says as I give her a small nod. 

I walked the opposite direction of her, "Alright", I mumble, I was not too worried going grocery shopping because I knew what I needed, with Leo around I just felt like it was hard than usual. 

I started reading the list twice.

1. Cheese

2. Soy Sauce

3. Vinegar

4. Fruits

5. Vegetables....

It wasn't a long list but it would take time to find the right item I needed.

Just as I arrived to the cashier Leo was walking towards me, "Did you get everything?", she asked, I nodded. I payed for the groceries after me and Leo spent 10 minutes arguing who will be paying. The sun was already down which meant we've been in the shop for a while.

It was 9:00 pm and I was tired after organizing the grocery all alone, since Leo had other "important" things to do. I knock on her and a few seconds later I hear her ask, "What do you want?".

"Just gonna say Good night."

She replies after a few moment but her voice low, "Night."

---------

"Hey"

"Wake up", the person whispers.

"Leave me alone", I say.

"You'll be late"

"What time is it?", I say.

"8:00 pm", as she says the time I jump out of bed.

"I have only an hour to get ready!"

"You better hurry up"
