Welcome to me humble abode!

A-bo-de, cute.

Utterly random thought there. Ha!

Okay, my dorm is single rooms only, acting as a place to house all your necessities. It has a connecting bathroom, nothing special though, just your normal shower stall, toilet and sink.

Fortunately, there is no kitchen. If there was, the whole dorm would be burnt down by now; by yours truly of course. But there is a lounge right down the hall that has a microwave to heat those instant noodles or leftover take-outs. And yes, food has to be purchased from the various outlets throughout the campus.

Choose wisely or diarrhoea ensues! Cue evil laugh.

Yeah, am I dramatic or what?

So, I plopped down on my bed, tossed my bag on the floor and yes, signal squeaky springs.

Squeaky springs, meet readers. Readers, meet squeaky springs.

Anyway, I have about three hours of quality sleep time and since today is Monday, I need to run about 10 miles.

No, I am not kidding, I like to alternate every second day as my heavy cardio day.

10 miles, and then I'll hit the gym. Sounds good. And then I have to meet Professor Seishuku, and then I have homework to do and there's Aruyu's test tomorrow.

Monday how I despise thee!

So, I guess I'll see you after my nap and we'll go run together.

Not joining me in my run?

Chicken.


So, here I am, three hours later, staring at my reflection in the mirror.

Hell, those dark circles under my eyes make me look sexy.

Sexy Shun'u.

Has a nice ring to it if you ask me. If only it's true.

Tearing my gaze away from the mirror, I pulled on the first outfit I lay my eyes on and decided to take a quick bite before my run.

Note to self: Chew properly.

Since no one's joining me in my run, I guess I'll see ya at the gym in say an hour?

Good.


The students at the college can choose whether to use the school gym or the gym a few blocks away, which has complete equipments. Of course, people like me who aren't enrolled in any of the competitive sport teams use the school gym and needless to say, I think you know which the inferior one is.

Yep, ours.

I'm not an athlete or anything, I just work out for fun, but I'm not denying the fact that I'm super-fast.

Yes I am quick on my feet, Mr. Twinkletoes if you want.

Definitely a gay name, but, whatever makes you happy.

So, don't ask me why I'm not on the track team. I don't know why either.

Anyways, I was on the bench press, lifting 225 lbs for as many reps as possible. Hey, for a 175 lb guy like me, that really isn't so bad. Ha! You thought I was weak didn't you?

Well I'm not so there!

I'd gotten two reps down and was pushing for a third, really hard. My arms were trembling from the excessive load.

Big mistake: Pushing for three reps when you could barely do two.

So here I am, trying my best to bring the bar back up from my chest.

A little higher, a bit more, a little...

Lower?

No! Bad, bad, bad! And no one was looking at the poor guy trying to lift the thing.

At the cafe, a lot of people were watching, now no one is. First it was the sandwich and juice, now it's the freckin' bar! What do inanimate objects have against me?

A series of low gasps came across the room. Yay! They finally noticed! Now help!

Is anyone helping?

Nope.

Retards.

The bar is dropping dangerously low and my arms can't contain the weight anymore and next, my chest is going to be crushed.

What a way to go, I guess it was better than the sandwich.

Oh crap, is this the end of Kou Shun'u? Crushed by the metal bar of death?

I saw a flash of midnight blue out of the corner of my eye and next, a pair of arms came down on the bar, hoisting it up towards the rack.

"Easy now, slowly. There, good job." The voice was deep.

I slid up from the bench and turned around and came face to face with-

"Kouji?"

I could hear Professor Ryuuen cackling madly in my head while taunting me saying who's the sissy now?

Evil. Pure evil.

"Hey, thought you could use the help." He smiled and handed me my water bottle.

"Thanks, that was the second time my life was threatened. Two in a row, I think that's a new record." I grinned and took a deep gulp of the icy liquid.

"I think inanimate objects have something against you." He leaned on the rack and held out his hand. "I don't think we were properly introduced, I'm Kouji, we're in the same Physics class and I heard you were checking me out?" He cocked an eyebrow and flashed a malicious grin.

Oh yes, taunt the poor guy who almost died. Again.

"Kou Shun'u, and I wasn't checking you out, I was assessing people." I flushed, again. I need to get myself in check.

"Assessing? I hope I scored a high mark then. Listen I have to get a move on, so enjoy the rest of your routine, and try not to kill yourself." He ruffled my hair and made his way towards the lockers.

Of course not, I'm not suicidal like the cafe's owner. Pfft.

Again, after the event that had just transpired I decided to cut my gym session short today.

Retards were staring at me for no apparent reason.

Well what are you retards looking at? Never seen a guy almost get crushed by a dang metal bar of doom? Well tough luck.


I reached my room at about half past eight and was feeling ridiculously exhausted that I just want to hit the sack.

But, I have a test tomorrow and Aruyu ain't gonna be happy if someone fails.

So, mustering every ounce of energy I have in my body, I walked, or rather dragged my feet, towards my study table, turned on the table lamp, opened my file and started reading my 5 inch thick notes. Great, just great.

Time to put on my 'test-cramming' music!

What if I wanted to break?

Laugh it all off in your face

What would you do?

Readers, say hi to my test-cramming music, it's inspirational ya know.

What if I wanted to fight?

Beg for the rest of my life

What would you do?

Albeit a little dark, it's a nice song.

Finally found myself

Fighting for a chance

I know now, this is who I really am

I glanced at my wristwatch a moment later and the time was now 11.48 p.m.

And I only finished two subtopics! Wow, another sleepless night for Kou Shun'u.

And more dark circles under my eyes tomorrow.

Watch out world! Sexy Shun'u will make his deadly appearance tomorrow morning, stay tuned!


Well that was an utterly random chapter now isn't it? Well, review if you feel ever so inclined.

Gaara Fun: Well, that's Tasuki's mom for ya. Too scary? Perhaps, but I like it. Haha. Thanks for the review! Drop another one if you want!

BFreak: Haha. Sorry for the mix-up! I guess I got a tad over-excited when you said you rarely read fanfics but was interested in where this one is going. Lols! Leave a review if you want.

KittyLynne: It's curiosity provoking? Haha. Didn't realize that! Thanks for the compliments! Review if you want!

And the first reviewer to guess the name of the song correctly will get chocolate brownies with ice-cream! Anything I bake is to die for apparently. Haha.

P.S. Again, this chapter didn't impress me, I need to get my head in the game or I might have to put this thing on hold. Bummer ain't it?
