11. A busy early morning

Once Vivian was in her room, she went over to her window ledge and sat down. She stared out the window and looked out into the dark blue night that was filled with small little stars that lit up the sky.

She closed her eyes to enjoy the moonlight when she felt something jump on her. 𝑯𝒖𝒉, she looked down at her lap and there was the puppy, cuddling up against her. 𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝒅𝒊𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒑𝒖𝒑𝒑𝒚 𝒈𝒆𝒕 𝒊𝒏 𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆?

"How did you get in here hmm?" Vivian ruffled the puppy on the head as it licked her fingers. She was having fun with the puppy when something in her room shone from the corner of the room that caught her attention. 𝑰𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈?

Using her magic, she made the ring float over to her and she was right. It was the ring that was shining, the tips of the crown were glowing radiantly even though it didn't have diamonds on it to make it shimmer when light reflects on it.

𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒓𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒆 𝒑𝒓𝒆𝒕𝒕𝒚 𝒖𝒏𝒅𝒆𝒓 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒍𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕~ Vivian admired the ring, she had in between her fingers, holding it up. She didn't wear the ring for the whole day of today and just left it there by her bedside table, she was mesmerized by the ring that she forgot the puppy was with her.

She snapped out of her trance when she felt something rubbing against her leg, she looked down and it was just the puppy trying to find a comfortable spot on her lap. 𝑯𝒎𝒎? 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒊𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕? She noticed something was hanging around the puppy's neck which seemed like a collar.

Vivian held up the puppy in front of her and saw what seems like a collar to her on the puppy's neck. Since when did the puppy have a collar on it? She didn't remember buying a collar for the puppy nor anyone giving her a pet collar. 𝑯𝒐𝒘 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒆 𝑰 𝒅𝒊𝒅𝒏'𝒕 𝒔𝒆𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒍𝒍𝒂𝒓-? 𝑰 𝒎𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒉𝒂𝒗𝒆 𝒃𝒆𝒆𝒏 𝒃𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒅-

She squinted her eyes, trying to examine the collar, and placed the puppy on its back, on her lap. She touched the silver moon that was dangling on the collar, it was shining brightly as it was facing the moonlight. 𝑨𝒉, 𝒄𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒊𝒕 𝒃𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒎...?

"Guess I'll have to head back there again..." She sighed, not knowing how many times has she went out of the school compound already. 𝑾𝒆𝒍𝒍, 𝒆𝒏𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒌𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒐𝒅𝒂𝒚 𝒐𝒕𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒘𝒊𝒔𝒆, 𝒎𝒚 𝒃𝒓𝒂𝒊𝒏 𝒎𝒂𝒚 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒃𝒆 𝒇𝒖𝒏𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒐𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒕𝒐𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒐𝒘...

Vivian hopped off the ledge and went to place the ring on her bedside table before settling down in her bed. 𝑻𝒉𝒆𝒓𝒆'𝒔 𝒔𝒐 𝒎𝒖𝒄𝒉 𝒕𝒐 𝒅𝒐 𝒕𝒐𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒐𝒘...𝒔𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝑰 𝒔𝒌𝒊𝒑 𝒎𝒚 𝒑𝒖𝒏𝒊𝒔𝒉𝒎𝒆𝒏𝒕 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒕𝒐𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒐𝒘? 𝑾𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝑮𝒂𝒗𝒊𝒏 𝒍𝒆𝒕 𝒎𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒐𝒖𝒈𝒉...She thought as she got herself a comfy spot on the bed.

The puppy was beside her bed, on the floor as it laid down on its small bed, she smiled at the puppy. 𝑰'𝒍𝒍 𝒔𝒆𝒆 𝒉𝒐𝒘 𝒕𝒐𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒓𝒐𝒘, 𝑰 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 𝒉𝒐𝒑𝒆 𝒊𝒕 𝒅𝒐𝒆𝒔𝒏'𝒕 𝒂𝒅𝒅 𝒖𝒑 𝒎𝒚 𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒆𝒔...

"Goodnight little pup, I'll see you tomorrow morning~"

𝑻𝑯𝑬 𝑵𝑬𝑿𝑻 𝑴𝑶𝑹𝑵𝑰𝑵𝑮 —————————

Vivian woke up early and went to do her things before changing into her comfy clothes for class later on. 𝑻𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒘𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒃𝒆 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒐𝒏𝒆 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝑰 𝒘𝒂𝒌𝒆 𝒖𝒑 𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒍𝒚 𝒇𝒐𝒓 𝒂𝒏𝒚𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝑰 𝒅𝒐𝒏'𝒕 𝒌𝒏𝒐𝒘 𝒘𝒉𝒚.

She got ready and the puppy awoke to the sounds of her shuffling here and there. She picked up the puppy and cuddled it close to her as she left her room and placed him down onto the living room's couch.

𝑰𝒔 𝑱𝒆𝒏𝒏𝒊𝒆 𝒔𝒕𝒊𝒍𝒍 𝒔𝒍𝒆𝒆𝒑𝒊𝒏𝒈? Vivian went over to Jennie's room, opening the door with a swing and a loud thud could be heard from behind the door. 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕?

She peeked over behind the door and there was Jennie on the floor as she rubbed her forehead.

"What in the world..."

"Oh." Jennie looked up upon hearing the unexpected voice that she never thought she would hear in the very early mornings.

"Vivian?"

"Don't look at me with those eyes, you look like a goldfish..." Vivian remarked, extending her hand out to help Jennie up from the cold floor. Jennie rubbed her eyes a few times, making sure that what she is seeing, standing in front of her is real.

Vivian magically took out the spray from before and sprayed it at Jennie.

"Why did you do that-" Jennie asked, wiping her face with her hands as Vivian stared at her with a straight face before giving her a crooked smile.

"I thought you were in a dream so I gave you a small face shower."

"I'd rather take a bath than being sprayed by that spray bottle of you-" Jennie couldn't even finish her words when Vivian made a whole rainfall cloud appear above Jennie and it rained water on her. The rainfall stopped as Jennie stared at Vivian, drenched and there was a small puddle under her.

"Vivian...why."

"You said you'd rather have a bath than my spray?" Vivian smiled sheepishly at Jennie, making her roll her eyes at Vivian.

"Okay, I'll go get myself cleaned up AGAIN, you can just wait." Jennie emphasized the 'again', shooing Vivian out of her room and closed the door to get herself changed. 𝑾𝒆𝒍𝒍, 𝒕𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒓𝒆𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒈~

Vivian went over to the kitchen and got herself some fresh bottled milk out from the fridge and placed it onto the kitchen counter. Upon hearing the snack plastic noises, the puppy came rushing over to her, wagging his tail happily as it knows that it was time for breakfast.

"Are you hungry~?"

"Woof woof!" The puppy barked while trying to stand on its hind legs, asking for the food. 𝑻𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒍𝒊𝒕𝒕𝒍𝒆 𝒈𝒖𝒚 𝒊𝒔 𝒂𝒍𝒘𝒂𝒚𝒔 𝒔𝒐 𝒍𝒊𝒗𝒆𝒍𝒚...𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒆𝒏𝒆𝒓𝒈𝒚 𝒄𝒂𝒏'𝒕 𝒃𝒆 𝒄𝒐𝒎𝒑𝒂𝒓𝒆𝒅 𝒕𝒐 𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒆 𝒂𝒕 𝒂𝒍𝒍, she chuckled to herself and placed the pet bowl on the ground for the puppy.

"Eat up and you'll grow strong and healthy~" Vivian petted the puppy on the head and went to sit by the living room couch. She took out her phone and looked at the time, 𝒊𝒕 𝒊𝒔 𝒐𝒏𝒍𝒚 𝒋𝒖𝒔𝒕 5.30𝒂𝒎...𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒊𝒔 𝒔𝒐 𝒆𝒂𝒓𝒍𝒚 𝒂𝒏𝒅 𝒄𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒔 𝒔𝒕𝒂𝒓𝒕𝒔 𝒂𝒕 8𝒂𝒎.

She sipped on her milk as she laid herself comfortably on the couch, 𝒕𝒐𝒕𝒂𝒍𝒍𝒚 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒇𝒆𝒆𝒍𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒎𝒐𝒓𝒏𝒊𝒏𝒈 𝒔𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒆, 𝒆𝒗𝒆𝒏 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒔𝒖𝒏 𝒅𝒐𝒆𝒔𝒏'𝒕 𝒘𝒂𝒏𝒕 𝒕𝒐 𝒓𝒊𝒔𝒆, 𝒖𝒈𝒉...Minutes later, Jennie came out of her room and went straight into the kitchen.

"Why did you wake up so early for Vivi? This isn't normal unless there's something special or important?" Jennie asked from the kitchen as she was making some small breakfast for the two.

"Yeah...I know and I don't want to either but I just woke up..."

"So you're telling me, you just opened your eyes, waking up and you don't know why?" Jennie turned over to her, holding a spatula in one of her hands while the other was holding a pan. Vivian nodded at her and closed her eyes, trying to get some eye rest.

"Then why are you awake Jen, your always a morning bird."

"I often wake up early to clean my class since I'm the one in charge of cleanliness."

"I guess that's why the dorms so clean..." Vivian joked but it was true, the dorm of theirs was always clean and there is not a speck of single dust to be found around.

"Breakfast is ready, you can eat now-" Vivian went straight to Jennie as she just set the plate down and Vivian was already munching down on her food. Jennie stared at the girl in front of her as she was just setting down her plate.

𝑰𝒔 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒇𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝒏𝒐𝒕 𝒉𝒐𝒕? Jennie thought as she was looking at Vivian, who ate her food as soon as it was just set on the table and it had just been cooked.

Jennie sat down opposite of Vivian and just held up her food with the fork, wanting to place it into her mouth when she dropped it back down on the plate.

"The foods hot, be careful."

"Yeah I know and I could say the same to you-"

"Okay I'm done, thanks for the delicious pancake Jen and I'll get going, I remembered that I had to do something." Vivian cut off Jennie and went to place the plate into the basin.

"Where are you going in the early mornings?!"

"Just somewhere."

"Then remember to come back!" Jennie remarked, looking at Vivian walk around the dorm to get her things.

"I will, I hope." Vivian got whatever she needed for later with her and headed out, leaving Jennie with the puppy at home. 𝑽𝒊𝒗𝒊𝒂𝒏 𝒔𝒖𝒓𝒆 𝒊𝒔 𝒂 𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒇𝒖𝒍 𝒕𝒐 𝒉𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒍𝒆...

Vivian walked down the school's hallways and it was clear of people, it was empty and quiet but the lights were on. 𝑾𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝒂 𝒘𝒂𝒚 𝒕𝒐 𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒏𝒅 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒓𝒊𝒄𝒊𝒕𝒚...she shook her head and headed over to Gavin's office.
