Skaters 101 (but without the skating)

Four different attempts

"Plan failed!" Yuzuru announced when he arrived back in the dorm.

Silence greeted him.

"Sota?" He quickly checked for open windows. The windows were all closed, but there was no sign of Sota around.

"Miaow?"

Yuzuru noticed the cat on the floor. "Oh, it's you again." He picked up the tabby Siamese cat and started stroking it. "I wonder why Sota is so averse to you. Maybe he's allergic to cats? Anyway, I've got to make a few phone calls."

"Miaow?" Snooki stared innocently up at Yuzuru. She bounded out of Yuzuru's hands and settled herself in a corner of the room.

"Hello Sota? Where are you?"

"Um...is there a cat in the room with you?"

"Yes, and why?"

"I think I rather not say where I am right now. How was your expedition?"

"It failed. I expected it to fail anyway."

"Oh ok."

"And now I'm stressing out on what to do. The science assignment is due tomorrow but no one has done it yet. And its 10 percent of the entire science grade!"

At that, Snooki's ears perked up. The cat bolted out of the room.

"I'm just going to sleep it off. What difference would 10 percent do to my grades, when I sleep in class all the time."

"But Sota! I'm worrying about Shoma!"

"He'll figure something out."

"Yeah, like pulling an all nighter to work on it? I'm not letting him jeopardise his health!"

"Let him. You're not his mum."

Yuzuru gave a snort of anger at those ludicrous words.

"Anyways, I'm going back to sleep. Good night!"

Sota hung up. He was just about to close his eyes when he saw the familiar tabby cat slinking into the room. "Seriously, just leave me alone!" He shot up, and ran out the door.

One day, he's going to take his revenge on you. Vincent walked out of the kitchen, having witnessed Snooki in action.

That idiot? He's too scared of me. Snooki jumped up onto Vincent's bed. By the way, Vincent, Yuzuru was stressing out over an assignment due tommorow. Some science thingy that is like, 10 percent of the entire science grade, quote. Anyway, knowing how horribly unorganised you are with your studies, I'm supposing you haven't done it?

Is it due tommorow?

Apparently.

There was a pause.

Not yet.

I knew it. Snooki raised her tail and looked over at Vincent haughtiliy. So what are you going to do about it?

I don't know, copy Yanhan's work?

It wasn't the end of Yulia's troubles. In fact, it was only the beginning.

Ding dong!

Supposing it was Yuzuru come to pick up Shoma, Yulia opened her door.

Just as she was about to leave the door, she heard a soft 'ahem' that made her look up. It wasn't Yuzuru. Standing at the open door, Satako was holding a covered pot.
