Tick. Tock. Tick. Tock. Umi groaned in frustration as time ticked by more slowly as each second passed, while she waited anxiously for that final bell to ring. She had handed in her exam and all she had left to do was wait. And wait. And wait. And…well, wait some more.
'Come on…faster. I need to get out of here! Let's go, ten minutes, fly by!' she urged, resting her head on her arms.
"Ascot-kun, let's go!" Umi said, pulling the blushing palu toward an unused part of the castle.
"W-where are we going?"
"I'll show you, we're almost there." After three lefts and two rights, Umi stopped and opened the wooden door, not letting go of Ascot's hand. The room was a pale yellow in color and inside was a simple armchair and a bookcase. Umi, keeping her iron grip on Ascot's hand, led him over to the bay window, overlooking a pond.
"How'd you find this room?"
"Pure accident, really. I thought I'd go explore some and I just…found it. It was really dusty at first, but after a few minutes of cleaning, it became this!" she said proudly. "And look, it's like my own personal area. You're the first to know." She added. Ascot's blush, which was a lovely shade of cherry became radioactive fire engine as his heart pounded and his thoughts raced with only one thing on his mind. 'Do it now.'
"U-umi."
"Yes Ascot?" then it happened. Almost as if it were a lightening bolt illuminating the stormy night sky. Ascot's lips brushed against hers in a soft kiss, saying all he needed to, and just a bit more.
Brrrrrrrrrrrrring! The bell rang, bringing the sleeping water night out of her stupor and into reality.
"That dream was so odd. Ascot and I are just friends; and he knows that." She mumbled, leaving the campus for the only true freedom she would have. "Right?"
