High In The Sky (Kamigami No Asobi Fanfic)

~ Eighth Chapter ~

"Hayami..."

She heared someones harsh voice. It was far away. It sounded like the person who is talking is another room.

"Hayami..."

Someones hand shook her.

"Hayami!" Toth yelled.

Her eyes shut open. She jumped in her chair and sat straigth. She looked around the classroom with her tired eyes. Everyone were looking confused at her. Toth was looking at her with his eyebrow rised. He was standing in front of her desk. Suddenly, reality shook her. She fell asleep!

"I'm sorry, Toth-sama..." She mumbuled.

"Tch..." He said and started walking away. "Go to sleep early. Don't sleep while I am teaching."

Hayami puffed her cheeks. She put her head on her palm and looked at Toth. He started writing something on a board. Takeru was smiling while looking at her. He was playing with his pencil. Takeru continued to write in his notebook while biting his lower lip so he wouldn't laugh.

He was the reason why Hayami was so tired. Every evening and morning they were running. Also they were practicing her kickboxing and swordmanship. They would practice two hours. Not much, but for Hayami it was. She wasn't as energetic as Takeru.

And then it happens something like this. Falling asleep in the classroom, turning off the alarm in the morning... Not even fire alarm woke her up when they had fire practice. Yui had to splash her with cold water to wake her up.

Takeru was not tired at all and this whole situation was funny to him. Especially when Hayami came to the classroom with hair messed up because of sleep. Yui always fixed it.

This was happening whole week. From the moment he found out that she is afraid of thunder. He tried to show her that there is nothing to be afraid of. Takeru would pull her outside while it was raining. Everytime she heared thunder, she jumped in the air a bit. Most of the times, Hayami would run back inside. Or Takeru would feel sorry for her, put earphones in her ears and took her inside.

And Loki made it worse. Last night he knocked on Hayami's doors and took her out for a 'walk' around the school. He was telling her jokes. But that was okay because his jokes always made Hayami laugh. Still... Now, that idea was terrible and it would be better if she just stayed in her room.

"Third time this week, Hayami." Yui said.

"I know, I know..." Hayami yawned.

Yui took a chair and sat next to Hayami's desk. It was lunch break. Hayami took book out when she was done eating. She couldn't even read two pages when someone put her book down. She looked at Takeru's happy face.

"What was that, Sleeping Beauty?" He asked smirking.

"That was your fault." Hayami smiled.

Then she rised her book and continued to read. But Loki took book out of her hands and closed it. He put book in her bag.

"Well, do you feel less tired now, kitty cat?" He asked.

Hayami shook her head and looked outside. It was sunny. No clouds on the sky. She was quiet for a while.

"Are we going to run today?" She asked suddenly.

Conversation stopped. Hayami looked back at them. Everyone were looking at her and Takeru smiled.

"Of course."

"We are going after the class." She said and bell rang.

Takeru nodded. Loki stood up, took his stuff and opened the window.
