Vald reluctantly got up and went with Oliver to class. He felt like he hadn't slept at all. He told Oliver this, trying to use it as an excuse to skip class, but his younger friend was having none of it.
"It always feels like that when someone dreams at night," he told Vald, not sensing the older student's attitude. "Don't worry. You'll wake up soon and then be happy you didn't stay home!"
Vald decided not to complain and instead tried to doze as Oliver's mom drove and her son babbled. If he could sleep now then he was less likely to sleep in his professor's class. He didn't want to face the consequences of that.
Oliver babbled all the way to Havi's classroom, only leaving as soon as he was about to run out of time to run to his class and arrive on time. Vald dragged himself into the classroom and plopped himself directly below the air-vent. The air-conditioner was on high and he hoped the cold air would keep him awake.
"Got the same idea as me, I see," his neighbor commented.
Vald gave the person a lazy look. It was the same man who had sat next to him last time.
"Late night?" he asked.
Vald nodded. It was a better explanation than the reality which was plain confusing.
The man nodded. "Yeah, me too. I was out with friends but they stuck me with being the designated driver so while they got to have fun I was stuck drinking soda all night!" He smirked and continued, "At least I got lucky last night. My friends are now nursing killer hangovers and I can't wait to rub it in their faces!" He laughed.
Vald yawned and tried to stretch his back to help him wake up.
"What about you?"
Vald smiled shyly and answered, "Video games. My friends and I have been addicted to this game lately and are on as often as we can. We were up late trying to finish a mission that was way too tough for us."
The man nodded. "Yeah I get it. If I wasn't out last night I would've—"
"OKAY EVERYONE!" a loud female voice called, "TIME TO SHUT UP!"
All of the students looked to see the professor walk in with a woman. She was as older than their professor but still younger than much of the students taking the class. Vald's partner whistled and Vald had to agree that this woman was hot.
She smiled as a few other students repeated the whistle. "Okay that's enough of that," she said with a giggle. "I'm Professor Galen, but you can all call me Clarissa. I'm just here to assist Professor Halvir if he needs me, so ignore me!" She hurried to take Professor Halvir's desk chair and gave her stone-faced coworker a thumbs-up.
Vald tried to stay awake but as the class progressed he found it harder and harder to listen to the professor's lecture. He couldn't even remember the topic and wasn't surprised at finding himself resting his head on his desk and closing his eyes.
He was incredibly disappointed when he opened his eyes and found himself in a forest. His body felt worse than it did before, and his head as well. He somehow managed to get onto his feet and grabbed the bunny on his lap to find some help. He thought about random things and just hoped to find held. Who was he looking for? The only question that repeated itself was: Where is Havi?
He collapsed and when he opened his eyes again he felt happy. His body felt relaxed and rejuvenated. "Havi… how about a kiss on my hand?" he asked.
Finally not a direct quote from the manga! Lol, well not really. Now I've posted all but a little of what I've written so far, but I'm having difficulty writing it because I'm trying really hard not to copy directly from the manga. This story turned out to be longer than I originally planned, but I'm happy even if a few of you enjoy reading this! I'll be sure to write more and update as quickly as I can, though I did put that warning in the description for a reason...
