Chapter 5

Humming gently to myself, I lean against the headboard of my bed, biting my lip as I fiddle with the pen in my hand. A groan leaving my lips as I look at the answer sheet belonging to the pack of exam questions I was given, cursing under my breath as I quickly rewrite the right answer before grabbing my textbook to make sure that I knew what certain words meant, sticking a sticky label into the corner to tell me in me in the future to relook over it another time. My eyes scanning over the textbook in my lap in a tired fashion, my brain ready to explode. My eyes feeling like they're going to roll out of my skull at any given moment.

With exam season over, everyone, no matter what degree they were taking, got thrown back into lessons full of information that you couldn't miss. Professors chucking as much work as they can at their students to make sure that they don't make the same mistakes on their exams again. Drilling exam techniques into their students until they get it right. Making sure that everyone knows everything on their specifications so the next batch of mock exams receive better results.

It's so tiring!

My brain close to melting, I set my work aside, telling myself that that's enough for the day. A groan leaving my lips as I slump against my bed, yawning gently. God I'm tired. I didn't want to overwork myself and then forget everything the next day. Then again, tomorrow I was going to be babysitting until half eleven due to both Shoto and Momo being at some hero gala to celebrate some sort of occasion that I have no idea about.

No doubt that'll be all Kana talks about next time I see her...

Wanting to stretch my legs, I push myself off my bed and slide onto the floor with a groan. Stretching my arms over my head and letting my shoulders crack back into place after sitting hunched over my table tray for the last few hours. My spine gently cracking as I lean forward and release a strained groan, making sure that everything clicks back into place before finally relaxing and strolling out of my bedroom and into the living area where Sakino's watching a documentary about some theatre star.

The blue haired girl grins toward me as she turns the tv over, placing some random sitcom on instead. Her purple eyes shimmering with happiness as I head toward the kitchen and pull open the fridge, my stomach happily humming as my eyes set on the funfetti cake sitting on the shelf amongst the other food. Deciding to scrap the idea of waiting til after dinner to have a slice, I pull the cake out and cut myself a rather large slice.

Can't help it. I'm starving! And cake is sooo good!

After sorting my slice out and cutting Sakino her own slice after giving me puppy eyes, I place the cake back into the fridge before heading to the couch and slumping down onto it to dig into my cake. My fork stabbing into the fluffy base of the cake, scoffing down the cake in a hungry manner while Sakino moans in delight at the sheer taste of the cake. Our eyes meet and we smile happily toward each other, giggling between ourselves as we scoff down our cake.

"God, this is so good," Sakino groans, leaning into the couch as she scoops up a fingerful of icing from the top of the cake and pulling it off her finger with a hum, "Can you live with me forever and cook for me for the rest of my life?"

"As much as you want that, you know that I can't do that," I tell her, shaking my head with a giggle as she pouts toward me, "Don't give me that look,"

Sakino giggles, setting her empty plate on the coffee table before grabbing the fluffy unicorn blanket from the side and wrapping herself in it as she turns her eyes back onto the tv. The sitcom playing on the tv catching both our attentions while I pick up the crumbs from the cake from my plate with my finger and lick them off with a happy hum before setting down my plate and relaxing back into the chair.
