Chap 9

Mika was about to ram right into Lana, but a few feet before she was about to ram Lana she tripped over a rock.

" WATCHHHH OUTTT THE ONE AND ONLY MIKA COMING THROUGH… OOUMPH, wait huh I didn't hit the concrete floor?" Lana had caught Mika before she face planted into the floor.

" Mika! You really have a thing of charging into people don't you, do you want to get hurt again?" Lana said scolding Mika who still had bandages on from yesterday. Mika had the face of a puppy being scolded, I was amazed that Lana wasn't fazed by her face and kept scolding her.

"But I was going to be late, wait IM LATE" Mika realized and started running towards the elective building.

"OI I WASNT DONE TALKING, sigh, that girl needs to calm down" Mika said as she face palmed herself. We continued to walk to class and in order to disrupt the awkward silence left my Mika I asked

" Oh yea is Mika a nice person? We haven't really had the chance to talk since all our meetings... Anyways she seems like a nice and... eccentric person" .

" Yea all I have to say about her is that she is a handful to do deal with, but I mean she seems like a good person so far" Lana replied and sighed.

Half a day went by, albeit very slowly and it felt like forever to reach lunchtime. My sleep deprived self had barely made it having multiple occasions of almost falling asleep in class. If it wasn't for Lana checking up on me, I probably would have fallen asleep.

Once lunch arrived, me and Lana made our way to the dorms, and this time no distractions came around. We met up with Mika and Nao who were already up in the tree house like structure sitting down. By this point I was so tired that I almost immediately fell asleep on the floor.

When I woke up I realized I had been sleeping on something soft, "Was the ground always this soft?" I mumbled before fully waking up. " Huh?" I opened my I eyes and saw Nao smiling down on me. "Wah! I'm sorry your legs are probably numb from me sleeping on them!" I panicked and got up then bowed as an apology while blushing as red as a tomato.

"N-no it's fine you're pretty light anyways..." Nao said, probably to make me feel less guilty about it. Apparently as soon as we had gotten in the tree house I fainted, and Nao had apparently caught me before I face planted into the wooden floor.

" HAHA, Now we're both tripping buddies!" Mika said and showed no embarrassment from her previous blunder, I on the other hand still had been red from sleeping on Nao's lap. Lana had been sitting there chuckling at the turn of event to which I responded by giving her a betrayed look.

"Mika you were wide awake when you tripped while April had been trying to stay awake for the past 4-ish hours, I don't think you are quite the same" Lana replied in response to my look and Mika's statement.

The rest of school went by in a flash and the worst part of the day had been slowly approaching. One of the reasons I had not been able to sleep was the fact that I had been arguing with Maya about how her friends were going to come over. Which resulted in her forcing me to clean my side of the room so that her friends wouldn't have the wrong impression, and I still had to do my homework. Which was the reason I had gotten no sleep.

As soon as I got to my dorm I hurriedly got my homework out and started to finish it, this time I put my phone on silent and away from me so that I could finish without any distractions. I managed to complete my homework before my work shift had started.

As I was walking to my job I realized that I didn't have anywhere to go to chill when Maya's friends had came over. Once I went inside and located in one of the first floor window seats was Nao, who was holding her coffee cup like a noble from one of those fantasy comics.

" Oh hi April, I came over cause I was bored don't mind me" Nao said with a nervous smile on her face.

"Oh uh ok that's alright I guess?" I was confused as to why she came in to this store in particular but I just inferred that she came because this shop had supposedly one of her favorites when she was little. Which was similar to me in the face that I've had an emotional attachment to this place since I was little. Which reminded me

"I wonder how that girl with the scar is doing now" I said in a incoherent tone so that no one would hear me. I bet she is doing well though she seemed like the type to persevere through anything. My current thoughts were interrupted when I realized I could just hang out with Nao till Maya's friends had left.

"Hey Nao do you want to hangout with me after my shift" I asked nervously to Nao who had been sitting in such a way that she gave an aura of a high noble.
