          It was Sunday!

     I had locked the door so that a certain someone wouldn't get in and disturb my morning sleep. I can sleep in without anyone bothering me!

     Naturally, I woke up at around ten a.m. Yes, I have to admit, I'm very lazy for a girl. My mom always used to pull me out of bed on Sunday mornings, aha. I stretched my body out, the fatigue lingering, even though I had woken up already.

     I forced myself to wake up. I sat up and slipped into my fluffy slippers. And if you were wondering, no, these aren't the ones that Daichi gave me. I personally do treasure those, so I feel like it'd be a waste if I ruined them (which I tend to do a lot).

     Stepping into the bathroom, I began to brush my teeth and wash my face. My pajamas, which was basically a white cotton T-shirt and some grey sweatpants, did me enough justice. I threw my hair up into a messy bun and went out to eat breakfast for once.

     I walked into the dining room with a pair of slippers given to me by the dorm head. There was barely anyone left. Daichi, Naoki, Haruna, and Hana were the only people left in the dining room.

     Haruna was grabbing Naoki's arm and getting all up in his space. Daichi sat there, third wheeling to the max. Hana sat at a separate table, slowly eating her food and attempting to read a book at the same time.

     I settled with two pieces of onigiri and some ice water. Taking my food, I silently sat down at the same table that Hana was at.

"Morning, Hana," I greeted. Hana looked up from her book and gave me a warm smile.

"Good morning to you too," she replied.

     After that, we didn't really talk much. We ate our food in silence. I bit into my onigiri, and to my delight, there was egg and meat inside. I'm personally not really a fan of tuna. I looked up after chewing a bit of my food to notice a figure walking towards me. Or rather, a figure strutting towards me.

     I turned my head to the table that Naoki and Daichi were sitting at. Naoki threw me a sarcastic smirk. Daichi gave me a knowing smile, and shrugged. I shrugged back at him.

"You look like an absolute slob," Haruna commented, flipping her hair and giving me a glare.

"And..?" I asked, continuing on with my breakfast.

"It disgusts me," she continues.

"So what?" I responded, drinking a bit of my water.

"Quit your snarky remarks, Aiko," Haruna complained, putting her hands on her hips.

"I will if you leave me alone."

Haruna rolled her eyes and scoffed at me. "You have the worst taste in fashion."

      I sighed to myself, as her outfit wasn't the prettiest either. She was wearing a black mini skirt, which I swear wasn't legal to be worn out. For her top, she wore a tight-fitting spaghetti-strapped cami. I'm surprised she didn't freeze to death, but then again, the heater is always blasting when it's cold in Alice Academy.

     Finishing up my food, I went to wash my hands and brush my teeth. Since I had a bad habit, I wiped my wet hands on my sweats, leaving a soggy mark. As I stepped out of the restroom, I heard two simultaneous knocks on my door.

     I opened the door to find Daichi and Naoki standing there. Without a word, they allowed themselves in and closed the door, then both of them grabbed an arm.

"What's going on?" I ask, raising my eyebrow, looking between the two of them.

"U-Um.. well.." Daichi started, his face flushed.
