Chapter 3
It was nearly midnight when Zero and Yuuki finished their daily guardian duties on campus. Zero tailed Yuuki quietly as she hummed to herself happily to her dorm building. When they were almost close to it, Zero turned around and left to his own dorm without Yuuki noticing. As Zero unlocked the towering doors of the boys' dorm, he saw Rosa talking animatedly to Yamamoto Tadashi, the arrogant head of the boys' dormitory, in the common room. The two looked like they were enjoying themselves, despite the late hour they were talking at.
"I guess I'll see you later than, Yamamoto-kun. It was nice talking to you."
Tadashi nodded pleasantly and stood up. "I will see both of you in the morning, Rosa, Zero."
Rosa twisted her upper body simultaneously and saw Zero leaning tiredly against the staircase railing.
Tadashi trotted over to the stairs cheerfully, patting Zero on his shoulder lightly. "What a nice girlfriend you have," he joked, running up the stairs.
Hearing that statement, Rosa made a face and walked towards Zero.
"What? How'd he get to that conclusion? I didn't say anything weird..."
"What did you tell him?" Zero asked accusingly.
"Er...nothing much. I just told him that I have permission from the headmaster to be here, and he just reviewed the dorm rules with me." Rosa rolled her eyes. "Why, what did you want me to tell him?"
Zero shrugged and proceeded to show Rosa their room. They walked up at a moderate pace up the ancient, wooden staircase, and into the wide corridor where many boys were hanging out. She could feel many of them looking at her, surprised, as if she was some animal on an exhibit. Zero glared back at them and they quickly dropped their head, resuming to their conversations.
"They don't see girls here often, do they?"
"Of course not," Zero retorted. "This is the boys' dorm, if you haven't noticed. And boys live in this dorm." They continued down the hallway, stopping at the very last room, with the number 001 on it. Zero took out a small metal key and unlocked the door. He pushed the door open, and stepped in, not even bothering to hold the door for Rosa.
"Hey!" Rosa exclaimed, annoyed. "You are so not a gentleman."
"Never said I was," snapped Zero. He walked towards the panel of switches and turned the lights on.
"Humph," Rosa grunted, walking to the bed with her luggage on it. "I'm taking a bath first. If you peek, I'll cut your head off, okay?" She added, taking a pair of clothes from her luggage.
"Who would want to peek at you, you flat-chested girl?" He smirked, lying on his bed and gazing at the ceiling.
Rosa reacted instantly to that sentence and threw a bottle of water at his head. She stomped her way past the two beds and entered the bathroom, slamming the door behind her.
