Chapter 5: Roommate...s

The day went well. Well, maybe excluding the fact that I didn't get to talk with my seatmate because he was so freaking cold and all. Good thing I got Koko. He talked about stuff that should be remembered while staying in this academe like never get Jinno angry, classes are always chill with Narumi and that Reo, who is our elective teacher, is a very charming and all those (useless) things. I appreciated his efforts even if they were not that relevant.

.

As the day came into an end, I learned that Hotaru was able to talk and persuade our dorm manager to allow me to be her roommate. Whew, good thing she's my best friend. However, as I thought everything would fine, Hotaru warned me that her roommate was no other than Shouda Sumire, Natsume's 'girlfriend'.

.

Hotaru got her keys and opened the door when we saw Sumire watching the television.

"Oh, you're our roommate now, Sakura-chan? Ooh, I'm so glad!" She suddenly stood up and went to me, held my hands as if she was sooo pleased.

"Hehe. Y-yes." I awkwardly smiled.

"Please call her Mikan. It gives me creeps whenever you call her Sakura-chan." Hotaru said as she plopped herself to the sofa.

"Hmm. Alright, Mikan-chan?" She gave me a very bright smile.

"Y-yeah." I stuttered.

"And stop stuttering, Mikan. It's... gross." Hotaru commented once more.

Finally, Sumire had enough of Hotaru's unnecessary comments.

"Hotaru, would you like to get us something to drink and leave us alone where things will naturally unfold?" Sumire gave the fakest smile I'd ever since to Hotaru.

Hotaru just shrugged and went to the kitchen.

Hotaruuu. Don't leave. I doubted I'd ever get along with this girl.

But for some weird reason, I must praise Sumire. She was right about letting things unfold itself. Well, yes. Let me say, we were friends now. Laughing out loud like there was no else in the dormitory. She was, after all, a pretty nice girl. Hotaru just smiled at me before going to bed, happy and proud that I became friends with our roommate – Shouda Sumire.

.

As I closed my door, I couldn't help but sigh happily. If that was even possible. I couldn't believe my first day in this academy was about to end. I lay down to my oversized king bed and just stared on the ceiling.

It''s about to end but heck. I wasn't even able to talk with Natsume. I thought as the dreamworld came for me.
